Not My First Rodeo

**Rowedy-O** · 03-30-2020, 04:41 PM

Ingame Name: Rowedy-O

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:55304791

Time Played: 4d 8h 18m

When First Joined: Waaaay back in the Kingdom days but Gametracker says a month ago is when I rejoined

Availability (Approx. times you play, and time zone): With online courses due to corona I have extra time. I pop on anytime between noon and 6am. I'm used to working the graveyard shift.

Rank Desired: Trusted

Current Rank: Regular

What can you do to help the community: I'm up during the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning and many times am I on without any staff. Immediately, the server becomes a playground for RDMers and mic/chat spammers. Players will be drooling like dogs waiting for the last staff to leave so they can release anarchy. New players join in those late hours and welcomed by RDMing trolls screaming the n-word until their heads fall off. The new players don't stick around long and I assume they quickly note that experience as Dinkleberg's reputation (when we all know that isn't an accurate representation of our community.) This damages us and forbids us from bringing in new community members.

Why you want to help the community: I genuinely fell in love with this community over the short time of playing again and saw staff was needed. I'd love to help improve and maintain anyway possible. Being a late time player, it's quite annoying to not have staff online or readily available. I admit, I'm rusty on being staff, but I do have a lot of experience as DarkRP mod and a short run as Admin before the server went down and I left GMod for a while. This server has been up for longer than any server I've known and I can see why. I hope to become a part of the team and contribute to the best of my ability.

Have you been previously banned? (Link Relevant Posts): Yes, I was trolling and got karma banned for an hour.

https://www.dinklebergsgmod.com/site/Thr...NNNNNNNNNN <-- this was the post for the main trolls but you'll see snips of me saying stupid stuff. I had just rejoined the server and was firing off my big smart-ass mouth. Obviously I've changed my ways.

Have you previously applied for staff? (Link Relevant Posts): Nope

How did you find us?: Found y'all on my history and hopped on thinking I was going to just RDM, leave, and head to another server, but realized I struck gold.

Did you fill out the required scenario questions for rank you are applying for? (Links under requirements in format thread): Yes :D

Other: Thanks for your time and consideration! Please leave all feedback, would love to hear how I can improve as a player and potential staff member! Have a good day y'all and stay safe/healthy!

Yes, I've gone by multiple names but gone by Tyrone Biggums, Jeff Spicoli, and walter for multiple days.
Those are honestly the only I can remember since I used to change it daily.

I'm not active in discord and pretty new/under the radar on the forums.

I dont know if I'm on at the same time as you, but I haven't really seen stuff about you that stands out. I think waiting a little bit more so we/I can get a grasp on your mindset and make a decision then. Maybe engage in the community on the forums or discord (I barely read shit outside of the ttt section) and get to know some of the people here more before applying.
For now +0

Like Brown Sugar said, nothing really stands out right now. I recommend posting more on the forums and discord to make a name for yourself. Until then, -1.

EDIT: Also I recommend getting your hours up. 100 may be the minimum, but majority of people promoted to Trusted have beyond that.

Rowdy = https://www.gametracker.com/player/Rowed...145:27015/ a total of 38 hours
Tyrone = https://www.gametracker.com/player/Tyron...145:27015/ another total 30 hours
Jeff = https://www.gametracker.com/player/Jeff%...145:27015/ a total of 4 hours
As for Walter, I'm not sure if the one on gametracker is yours or not, but...
https://www.gametracker.com/player/Walte...145:27015/ a total of 17 hours

All of its total up to about 89 hours. Not exactly 100 hours but it's close enough. You stated you have time due to the coronavirus, but what happens if you do resume school and you don't have time anymore... Will you still be able to balance your time with your personal lives and online?

Neutral, btw.

Your application has been denied at this time. I believe more activity both in and outside the server will do you well. You have a past of trolling and while you have already been punished for it, it's something I do consider when looking at staff applications. We want our staff members to be cool, level-headed, and nonbiased when handling and staffing the server. Take this month to improve yourself in being a great member of the community and set examples for others.

Take the advice given in the thread feedback and use it to improve.

You may reapply in one month from the date of the application.
