Is this the first application you made? If no, link all previous applications: First GM application
Have you received any kicks/warns/bans, and if so, why (type /warnings in-game): Yes I have multiple punishments most being from my past. My old punishments don't represent me now and I have changed for the better.
How many hours can you be on everyday: At least 2 usually more though
Do you have any previous experience as a Gamemaster/Event Manager in a community: Not on any GMOD server
Do you have any advanced skills that would benefit the GM team, such as PAC-3, dupes building, art creation and others? If yes, give us your best example of putting that skill into practice:
This might not fit here but I’ll add it anyways, I am pretty good with guiding RP without overstepping. This is due to my experience of including people in events and trying to get people to have a good time. This makes me normally during events a background figure helping people with what they need. In practice as a GM this could be giving hints when needed if you have a specific goal in mind for the players to reach.
Please list one RP Enhancement for a Foundation Department/MTF:
An RP Enhancement for E-11 could be during a containment chamber cleanup by a d class props placed could be removed as the d class cleans. It could also involve distracting the SCP through other means like for example wood for 457 or 10 happy meals for 682. This can go a lot of ways and is a super simple way to make the situation more realistic.
Please list one RP Enhancement for a Non-Foundation Group:
An RP enhancement for Civilians could be a stand for the mayor to give a speech. This could help gather a lot of people together and it enhances the whole atmosphere of the RP scenario. This would pretty much involve the stage just being setup and the players would handle the rest so again pretty simple but adds to the general RP. I know civilians aren't considered much so giving them opportunities to actually do RP is a main focus of mine.
Please list one Event idea for the United Nations Global Occult Coalition:
This event would involve using sickness systems spreading throughout pinewood. The UNGOC would be the main focus as they do the main quarantine efforts. The vaccine development will be a key part and enhancements like a rat or something to test it on can occur.
An unknown virus appears in pinewood and the majority of the pinewood population is exposed. UNGOC teams are tasked with quarantining pinewood and bringing back affected civilians to base for developing a vaccine. Once the vaccine has been developed a center will be setup to distribute the vaccine. The virus will then mutate and a stronger outbreak will occur. This time the virus will have much for dangerous symptoms including . This new variant will have to be put down more carefully by monitoring those effected before releasing them. Once everyone is cured the quarentine will be over and pinewood will be safe.
Please list one Event idea for the Chaos Insurgency:
This event involves civilians and possibly treason RP from people in foundation. This would be a sort of recruitment event and would need an area to do all of this. People would be transferred for 1 life similar to previous job fairs with foundation.
A stand is set up outside the chaos insurgency with 1 man watching it. This is the area where Civilians will come through for recruitment. They will meet with recruitment officers going through all their details to figure out if they are ready for the job. They will be placed into roles like medic, janitors, technical experts, chefs or research roles. This would prioritize non combatives but possibly if a ranger is attempting to join they could preform a combative role.
CI is always hard to choose events for and I didn't just want to do some combat focused event/ a random scp coming over. The recruitment job fair event did really well with foundation and I would like to see it tried with CI with a more noncombative focus as they don't have many options other than that.
Please list one Event idea for the SCP Foundation:
This event is pretty simple and I wanted it to be able to include everyone in the foundation. This would be an event held in the kitchen. This is a relatively unused area despite its size so I think it should be used more in events.
A team of anomalous chefs enter site-65. They transmit communications to the foundation announcing their arrival and begin taking requests. These chefs can produce anything within reason but they seem to be very connected with those who they serve after they eat. Researchers come to analyze those who eat the food and they seem to just care about the restraunt, they want to tell everyone about it and want to keep coming back. This leaves people to decide on ways to prevent people from entering, containment methods may vary. The chefs will leave when they get enough bad reviews.
Please list a Major Event or Map Change idea (Involving all sides and the entire server):
This event would occur during the halloween season. It would involve a dupe for a house to be made and it would involve all factions with multiple entry points. The skeleton would be played by a GM and adds to the chaos of the haunted house. All communications would be disabled while in there to prevent infobreach RP occuring at same time. All factions have all their items taken away before entering.
A house mysteriously appears in the middle of the night in pinewood. Civillians, the Chaos Insurgency and the United Nations are the first people to likely notice. The foundation factions then notice doors appearing in random closets. People begin entering the doors which leads them eventually to a haunted house. The haunted house has multiple rooms some being mazes or loops. Throughout the rooms people may notice shadows of figures even monsters. Skeletons appear to be chasing people throughout the halls. Anyone can enter the house they just have to find a door to enter. People must work together to find the exit of the haunted house and unlock doors to get there. There is other anomalies in there like SCP-1576 which could be used for a hint from those who almost made it out. It isn't as simple as a maze as every room must be explored to unlock new areas with keys or items like pickaxes to crash down so called unfinished areas of the house
What elements can make an event unenjoyable? Include one example, avoiding the typical answers if possible.
People not included: I see often groups are left out of the RP which is in events, especially with new players it is always good to include them. For example I see very few events specifically for ETS, CI or Civilians. These groups might not always be known for good RP but not doing anything about it doesn't help. I don't like when events are restricted to certain people.
Balancing clues/hints: This can go both ways, sometimes I see pretty much just the GM deciding things during the event but also sometimes I see it being all left to the participaters in the event to know what is going on. Both of these things are usually bad and balancing that needs to be a priority when running an event.
Too much going on: This generally is just a scheduling thing but events get drowned out when too much is happening. This could be a breach happening at the time or just too many events going on at the same time. I see sometimes multiple GMs doing scp events and it gets a little bit confusing. Managing scheduling and checking things like how many of a certain group are on (scp events with few e-11 are not best idea)
And finally, what do you wish to achieve by becoming a Gamemaster?
I wish to help the community by leading events in factions which really don't have much help with often. I am a CO in GOC and CI and will always do my best to balance those to make it fair. Both have been lacking events and I really just wish to help people. Additionaly I want to focus on other departments within the foundation I have noticed are excluded from RP so they never get the chance to show it off, like ETS. I will make it my goal to give people a chance always, if it doesn't go well I can step in and help as the GM. That is my role for guiding people in the event towards RP.
