  1. For realsies 1) Have actual drive to roleplay your chosen character. For my character I had complied notes from most of these links (If you wish to play an established character, do your research) (This is one fourths of the text file, as to not spoil the rest) If you're planning to write an original character, at least spend a bit of time in the writing department. Perhaps on general lore, how the character relates to the setting or even trivia. 2) Convince management that you can be trusted on the job. (Not much to say on this one) 3) (Unsure on this one) Try to bring something new to the server, rather than another combat job or "this job" plus "these sweps and guns"..
  2. I don't know much about developing a server but I think would be slightly more effort to bring back the old system whilst the new system is kicking about. Like how would that even work? Two versions of keypads for a singular door, so players will now have two versions of keycards in their inventory. Besides I love the new system. Its possibly more intuitive than the previous one, looks nicer with all of the visuals and animations and it has a few QoL improvements. (Like being able to assign an entire DarkRP team or certain player groups in the spawnmenu, instead of on the keypads individually.) Really, I think the kinks will be smoothed out. Just bear with it. (Just yell @ BypasserSWEP here pls)
  3. Okaaay.. after like 30 minutes reading. [For those that wanna skip lore, just scroll to the OOC stuff] +1 I feel that this iteration of Sarkics has direction. There is enough source material to ground this group in reality as there is reasoning behind their actions. A regular fight club could bring attention to surface, hell it might even pacify the surface for at least a few moments. The reintroduction of a second hostile GOI gives the Foundation another target to go for. Specifically the Health Anomaly. As well as such an anomaly would be a welcome addition. If recruitment into this GOI is stringent as it claims, HoEAs would have interesting interviews at the very least.
  4. With the current roster of GOI's, I really don't see this working. I would be for Passive RP Groups, if you can gather a dedicated group of people to keep the group objectives rolling. You claim that "Information" would be the Group's primary goal. In order to achieve the Group's Objectives: You'd have to resort to two primary methods. Good o'l Espionage (Be in the right place, at the right time. Bonus points if you have the camera rolling) Comms Farming (This group would rely on cuffs and kidnapping, which is a pretty hostile action. Thanks to the recent comms update.) Then what it comes down to is that Information is time-sensitive. As well accounting for various factors. So you'd be in a constant race against time to get the information and then sell it to the right buyer. A small example would be: There is no point selling info on the location of an anomaly, if it has already been swiped. But you could sell info on who took said anomaly thus making them a raiding target. Impressions/Impact to these groups GOC - To them you would be considered a high threat to their Second Mission of Concealment. So you'd probably would spending the your days receiving the famous CI treatment. (I can already see Houston penning. "fuck this group up" or "work with us or die") MCND - Highly favourable to them, you'd probably be contracted by them even. Although you'd want to sign an agreement with them to not share info on MCND if you don't want to fuck up your relations. (Which seems to go against the group's core ideals) CI - Neutral, until you sell info about them to the Foundation. Then refer to GOC. Foundation - You'd have the most limited impact on Foundation, if you choose not to raid them. You possibly could get info, if Nu-7 make a dedicated FOB on the surface or if one of the MTF teams carry out surface operations however your window of opportunity would be quite small. (Also, Good luck kidnapping an MTF Unit amongst a team of them) Unfortunately, they also happen to the most desirable target to gather information about. Final notes: This group will most likely end up as a pawn for one of the groups. Otherwise I wouldn't want to be the guy that deals with your relations. If you try to make yourself amicable towards the Foundation/GOC. The surface would want you dead and vice versa. I could create a scheme as a Field Agent, I would constantly buy information on CI Uniforms. Thus a workaround for uniforms can only be remembered for a certain period of time. (Meaning SMT will definitely have something to say about this) GOC/Foundation have dedicated roles for Info Gathering. Soo your chances as them being customers are lowered more. The fundamentals of this group can be ruined by one common problem that plagues all groups. Information Leaks. It will happen a lot. You're gonna have to invest a lot in forging relationships, in order to find buyers. Which furthers the first point, as no-one want give ya a handout. Of course, all of these hypotheses are dependent if the group is active and is achieving what they have set out to do.
  5. +1 This man gave me my start on the server. Which is something i'll always remember. I'd be grateful to see him back on the server again. (I immortalized him in the damn training book for ISD Agents for gods sake.)
  6. There always room for improvement on writing characters.
  7. Your In-Game Name: Avery Winters Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:87998391 Your Age: 19 Your In-Game Playtime: 4 weeks and 1 Day. Your Warns: 1 warn for FailRP in 2019? (Unsure due to the size of AWarn Window) Rate Your RP Skills: I’d say a high 9 with the characters that I've personally crafted. What O5 Designation would you prefer (1-12) and what character?: To be honest, i won’t get hung up on the number designation. (Although i would really like my -12 number back) “The Tower” - “Went back on the oath of the council. Death is not a release from his service. His Punishment.. to be built back up again once more. ” (Desired Focus on Department: Flex Pick, preferably ISD) Continution of the story arc for the character "Avery Winters": https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IAKHWeO9RxAj6XQbOAxzPNyO_bJRPkhbHd4Uf1WLEUM/edit?usp=sharing “The Romantic” - “An egalitarian and forward thinker. He believes that the council can only exist if harmony exists among its members.” (Desired Focus on Department: Research) “The Isolationist” - “Merit only defines a person’s worth. Everything else is irrelevant...” (Desired Focus on Department: External Affairs) These three characters cover a wide range of ideologies as i'll be picking a character that should fill a "personality gap" within the council. Have you read and understand the rules of SCP-RP?: Yes, and in my continuous play of 4 week. I’ve yet to receive a single written warning from staff. Why do you believe you should be part of the O5 Council and what can you bring to the role e.g (Pressure in extreme situations, making the tough decisions): Standing as a former Council Member, I know what it takes to be in the council. It takes confidence and experience to confront high pressure situations and crises. As people can buckle. It takes public speaking and charisma to manage your interpersonal relationships within and outside the council. It takes a fundamental devotion to your principal beliefs and principle. To ensure that others can take your word. As quoted, “If you sell your principles, you can never buy them back”. It takes knowing yourself to acknowledge when you have stretched yourself too far. Which is when you must seek consultation from others. I aim to bring my flavour of leadership to the council. I aim to bring a character that can be remembered in stories. I possess a burning passion to lead once more. Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site Administration?: To quote my prior application. “No man rules alone” - Quote from CGP Grey “The Rules for Rulers” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs Forgive the analogy but imagine the Foundation as a supermarket chain. The Council is upper management. The Site Administration is the regional management and everything below the Site Director is the lower staff, which I'll refer to as the movers and shakers. Starting from the bottom. The movers and shakers are the general personnel that are boots on the ground. Be it Scientists that forward the understanding of the anomalous. MTF units that carry out missions. Even the cleaners that ensure sanitary standards on the site. They are personnel that actually enforce and enact the missions of the Foundation. The movers and shakers can be comparable to the staff that run a store. Imagine the till runners, personnel to shelve and sort stock and cleaners! To the next level is Site Administration. They manage the movers and shakers ensuring the standards are met. These are comparable to regional managers that can manage the shops themselves Back to the top is the Council itself. They are the core to the Foundation as the original council set the mission statement. To quote the mission itself. “ Operating clandestine and worldwide, the Foundation operates beyond jurisdiction, empowered and entrusted by every major national government with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. These anomalies pose a significant threat to global security by threatening either physical or psychological harm. “ As well as quoting my prior application. “The O5 Council are the visionaries that set the goals and targets for the Foundation. They are at the front of line that pave the path on how they achieve the mission statement. From making final decisions on greater anomalies that have a large scale affect. To resolve issues that threaten the mission statement of the corporation as whole.” To add to that, they do hold the power to amend the mission statement. Although that is a subject for debate. To round this analogy off, the council is comparable to upper management whom decide what the prices of products are set in order to remain competitive. Setting uniform standards to ensure a brand image and guiding the supermarket chain towards the future. What is the O5 Council?: The council of 12 or 13. Dependent on what you believe about the “Tiebreaker”. These seats of power wield the highest office attainable within the Foundation. They are supposedly given unrestricted access and responsibilities comparable to a CEO of a global corporation. Varying personalities have sat on these seats. All whom gave their personal take on how the mission statement can be achieved. Much more stories exist between certain number designation. For example, -1 is considered to be the most powerful figure on the council, -2 possesses anomalous traits and the administrator has a preference for “suits, fine liquors and loose women” and possesses an MTF called Rēsh-1 ("Seat of Consciousness"). Although given the nature of disinformation, it is up to personal interpretation. Are you currently a head of a department (Job Manager), general staff in Nu-7 or a Site Director?: I was the former group owner of ISD. I do hold a position of reserve management for ISD. As well as initially offered a position of Vice-Manager of ISD on my return however I've turned it down because I believe in the current management. I was a highly reputable Site Director when it was unwhitelisted however those days are long past. Refer to: What Department would you like to focus on? (Research, Mobile Task Forces, Ethics,...): As written under “Desired Focus on Department” within the prior answer. There are departments that are highly desired by that character however it is not strictly limited to allow some degree of flexibility.
  8. Don't be discouraged from suggesting stuff. Server always has room for improvement. I'm actually neutral on this.
  9. "Ey boys... i see me a yellow card. " *a singular sniper shot rings out across the city, followed by a flat thump*
  10. This could be abusable. Picture the scene. O5's hold a meeting A-1's hold the door Minge wants in the meeting In the most extreme case, Minge gets gunned down by A-1's / Asks a friend to kill him near the meeting Minge walks past A-1 due no player collision, disturbing the meeting. Also.. God lord if this was given to D-Class. They would try to get themselves killed near the airlock, then they would be able to escape easier. (I don't think the NLR Zone gets applied to D-Class when they die. Unsure tho) Also.. what if we got a guy that needs to be cuffed, who also happened to have an NLR zone active. Who decides to retreat back to his NLR Zone. Now we got a guy that can phase through people, making cuffing the guy much harder for 1-5 minutes.
  11. https://streamable.com/v9802w When i saw your profile picture and name, i had to.
  12. His soul: For real tho. Regardless of outcome, please take it as a learning experience to respect rules and others.
  13. -OOC Section - Steam Name: DLEtna RPname: Avery Winters SteamID: STEAM_0:0:87998391 In game level: 50 Playtime(At least one week): 1 Week + (Evidence: https://www.gametracker.com/player/DLEtna/208.103.169.212:27015/) Amount of Warns and the reason of why they were given: 1 Warn for FailRP. Given in 21st Nov of 2019? (Unsure due to AWarn Window) - IC Section - (CV's on next three pages.) Opening.... File: Alex Benson's CV.pdf Comment: Applicant Rejected. ISD already holds a presence within the Engineering Department. As well as a lack of interpersonal skills. Opening.... File: MY FIRST DRAFT(fu this shit).pdf Comment: No. "Empathy: Expert" Opening.... File: Vincent Gaumond Curriculum vitae.pdf Comment: Flagged for suspicious behaviour. Duplicate Entry.
  14. Accepted @Melo Samue - Winner of the best CV award on the mere basis that you didn't include a a blob of text titled "backstory/description" @Marc Pierson - "Cyber Security? File him on the maybe pile.." @✪Kanser CS.MONEY - [OOC] You're being given a chance once more. As you have made strides in repairing your standing in the community. Whlist some remain apprehensive, i believe a spirit to improve exists within you. Accepted applicants will request the ISD role on the W-G Discord. They will also be required to attend a 1 on 1 / group discord call for Agent Orientation. Notice: Apps will be closed temporarily. This thread will be locked as we will be making a new thread. Any apps posted below this notice will be disregarded.
  15. Neutral To get this out of the way, i really recommend using a word processor for future apps. Something like Microsoft Word or Google Docs (which is free). You can use a spelling/grammar checker and pick up on errors as you write. I understand if english isn't your strong suit or if you are really busy. But i'd really would take aside a few hours to just to throw this app in a word processor to iron out some of the glaring errors. As well as, just google some basic writing tips or even read some of the other Event Planner's applications. Mess around with some of the formatting options that this forum provides (the buttons at the top of the reply box). Right now, your app just looks like a hunk of text and i had to focus in order to process your response to "Why should we pick you?" As for the event plan. Soild. Could be interesting for GOI's to intevene and attempt to sabotage/aid in tasks. If we are are going with "I'm going to prove myself, despite my rep" card. i feel the best place to show it is in your app. I know you can do it. So much so, i would be willing to overturn my opinion to a +1 if i see a dramatic improvement in the app.
  16. Pending @Jason Dal - Entrusted in positions of responsibility, an CV with qualifications that doesn't switch off my brain (*shouts* Unique! U N I Q U E). It would be a pleasure to take you on board. However.. we have to discuss a conflict of interest.
  17. To setup terminals which allow for communications outside comm system. I think there is more in the terminal addon but dunno.
  18. Denied @Noahno - [OOC Reason] Initially was going deny you for having 6 warns in the span of 5 days of playtime. However i've been approached by a number of people who have given quite negative experiences with you. I get with the nature of the server sometimes proper RP falls apart but we do ask applicants to attempt professional conduct. Re-apply in one week. @Marc Pierson - [IC Reason] "We already have plenty of interrogators, we don't need another one. " Re-apply in one week. Accepted @AlexMagus - "Hm.. Here's a one good one... CO Training... plus good russian..." Contact me on Discord at DLEtna#1630 for a discord call on Agent Orientation, request the roles in the W-G Discord as well. Notice: Copying other's doesn't guarantee acceptance. You should attempt to stand out from your peers such as making a highly formated CV or possessing skilsets unique from other applicants. The point of CV's is to filter out the wheat from the chaff. We look for talent that is rare in supply. "Pull CV's from outside IA, getting sick of seeing Field Agents in my inbox. Lets dip into the wider talent pool." - Excerpt from a memo OOC: Let's see some great character backstories.
  19. Accepted @Kvisten - Contact me on Discord at DLEtna#1630 for a discord call on Agent Orientation, request the roles in the W-G Discord as well. IC: ["Can't we try to pull some former Field Agents? I need people who know espionage! This prick here only has Interrogation skills on him"] - Excerpt from a meeting. OOC: You were nearly rejected but you put the word I N T E R R O G A T I O N in your CV. Notice: Treat this as if these are actual CVs being flipped through! These apps are going to be weighted more towards IC reasons however i will deny applicants on OOC reasons too.
  20. -1 Raising the bar won't stop minges. If they know what they are doing they'll hit Level 15 with the XP machine. Hop on Senior (Or just tailgate another senior). Funni Femur Scream. /afk or disconnect to vanish into thin air. Plus "compliant" (via verbals or RP) lowers levels would eventually learn not hit the femur unless it's needed. As many people said above me, it would just be left open for convenience. Most scientists don't even respectfully close doors behind them. Besides if you play on the server long enough. You actually get used to the scream. Which is uh....
  21. One. Head Researcher is somewhat Invite-only. So impress someone from this discord. (I haven't seen any forms or applications to apply for.) Two. To apply for ISD. Fill out an application and reply to the following thread: Thread Locked. - Owner of ISD
  22. +1 If he can lead SGs in LCZ, i'm sure he can handle the surface.
