Time spent with ZARP Gaming?:
I have made my first appearance on ZARP SSRP Server 2, Sep 06, 2015 at 7:00 PM.

I eventually registered on the forums on 15 Sep 2015.

I have 6,816+ hours played on Garry's Mod, I'd say like 600~ hours of those hours are non-ZARP related but don't forget that I also spend my time with ZARP Gaming on my phone by accessing the forums and TeamSpeak 3 app I bought specifically just for the purpose of being able to access the ZARP TeamSpeak on the go whenever I was needed or had the free time to decide to come on.

Why you should choose me for Community Manager

I should be chosen as the next Community Manager of ZARP Gaming because I have been extremely dedicated to the servers for almost three years now and I am very reliable on getting the job done. I normally like to in be the lead on how things should work, what things should be changed and be responsible for actions that take place. I promise that I will be an active community team member and will always try to have the community's word to be involved in future plans, without you guys, we wouldn't know what we should do and may end up taking a wrong path without hearing your words first hence why you should choose me as one of the next ZARP's Community Manager so I can ensure this will happen so that we can prove that ZARP is not ‘dying’ and that we have a lot more on the table to bring out.

My current ranks
I am currently a:
Jailbreak Server Owner
SSRP Head Administrator
TeamSpeak 3 Head Admin
Forum Global Moderator

However, I have held other ranks in the past such as:
TTT Head Administrator
Deathrun Administrator
Bhop Administrator

During my times staffing with these ranks, I feel like I have been a great benefit towards the servers with my fairness of punishing players and a fun, enjoying attitude I have when playing these game modes, making the players feel like they are having a good time and would revisit the servers again in the future if they also enjoyed the content as well.

How easy is it to contact me and where?
I am extremely easy to contact which can be done by the Forums, TeamSpeak, in-game, Steam, WhatsApp, Facebook(those who are personally good friends of mine or one of the highest rank in this community will only have access for this quite obviously), and Snapchat.

How reliable and active am I?
I am found to be extremely reliable in doing my staff duties properly and being active by making an appearance not only the Forums and Teamspeak but also SSRP and Jailbreak as those are the servers I am currently staff on at the moment. Here are the Gametrackers to those servers to prove that I am active:
SSRP Server 1
SSRP Server 2
SSRP Server 3
Jailbreak Server
I also do things behind the scene with Jailbreak content (Hence why the activity may look low, but I do come on when I am needed), changes and staff-related for both SSRP and Jailbreak mainly to do with staff members, etc.

My attitude and fairness
Towards new members, I have a friendly, welcoming attitude towards them and whenever they would break a rule I don't normally warn them and rather give a verbal and an explanation of what rule they broke and how they can avoid breaking it again. Towards members of this community, I keep up with my friendly approach and can be willing to give chances as long as they are on good terms with not only myself but the community and the servers itself. I have always tried to keep a fairness towards everybody based of their actions and how I should deal with one and another when it comes to handing out punishments.

The goals I have for ZARP 2018

SSRP and its future
The biggest goal I have for SSRP at this moment is implementing what the community suggests as long as it will be beneficial and something the players will like. Not only that, I would like to also mainly focus on the RP maps we are using and how we can improve them for what current weapons we have nowadays and the future as well so we are able to maintain a more balanced experience for not only the experienced players but also for the newer players too - which in that case as well, we should award new players more money by changing how much the Drug Dealer buys drugs, the paychecks, how much more should a printer be printing with the NON-VIP & VIP set so then we are able to make basing a more viable option than mining. Take the summer celebration week for example, having X3 shop printers increased basing a lot and the server ranking went up a lot, and that's all because of the amount of money you can make in basing being worth it compared to other ways of making money such as selling items from shops, mining, etc. However, we need to make changes as to how special suits work so rather than me typing up what should happen, I recommend you here and go take a read from there.

Some current key issues with SSRP:

• The Special Suits being too OP, changes based of what the community would like to see


• The Hand Cannon being too OP

• The current lack of SSRP updates
This has been an issue since Summer 2017, we still have had no 2018 summer update and the Halloween 2017 update didn’t really bring any new content that would stay on the server, the map was well made however but I feel like Patrick could have done a better job if I were given the opportunity to tell him what should be changed before releasing it to the live server. The Christmas 2017 update was pretty great however there are still bugs and changes that have yet to be fixed, such as being tasered in the EVO suit and how unbalanced the suit is in gameplay, the update wasn’t tested very well compared to the previous updates so having me involved in the testing will hopefully avoid these issues from occurring again. I cannot promise any updates for SSRP but I will do my very best to ensure there will be an update coming out towards 2019 or beyond from that which I certainly hope that won't be the case.

What I feel like we should start doing after the next big update is releasing more small updates more often and that they do not have to involve new items either. Also changes that the community would want to see, here are some examples anyways of what could be part of these small updates, weeks before we could release bigger updates:

PD Raid Notification
Bank Raid Over Notification
Allowing “/drop” special items to collide with props
Making custom titles more custom
Feather Falling Upgrade
Improvements towards the suit system
An Inventory sorting system that saves where you choose weapons and upgrades to be
The ability to send a value amount of Gems
Coinflip Addon

There are so many more amazing suggestions that some have yet to be considered adding to the SSRP servers. Some of these changes may be small but could also be extremely beneficial and hopefully, we can see a rise in the player count for SSRP again and aim for the #1 rank with these amazing ideas the community have for the servers.

The Pointshop as a whole
There are many issues with Pointshop, with outdating looking UI to items having no "rare" meaning behind it, the economy isn't in any good shape and has zero meaning behind it which misses the opportunity to run an economy that allows players to own very valuable items rather than being able to purchase it easily from the F4 menu and from cases. There appears to be a trending issue with cases being very easy (Players gaining 100+ cases with little amounts of points) to obtain which shouldn't be the case at all no intended pun, this can be prevented easily by lowering the chances of obtaining cases from wheels.

I and DEAD have been hard at work on our current projects with Pointshop with planning how things should work in the economy and how will this be done (It is still a W.I.P so I won't make any promises on what will change at the moment). I won't bother rewriting what DEAD has already written but this is what we have been working on for two weeks now.We are still looking for ideas in this so please leave us suggestions here!

TTT and its future
The ZARP TTT Server has been going down in ranks recently after being number one (Mainly because of the server issues we had recently, however no one is to blame for this) so I will ensure to make it one of the priorities to remain the number one TTT server as it has been a massive achievement for ZARP Gaming as a whole, from being rank 2000+ in Gametracker to being the number one TTT server. How will I fix the ranking of TTT may you ask? Firstly, I will do my very best with handling staff situations due to plenty of staffing issues between one and another which causes people to resign and players may end up leaving because of lacking staff members. Second of all, the weapon balence update needs a major change back to how it originally was, however, some weapons may be excluded from this as some adjustments were okay in the update. Lastly, TTT Server 2 - a highly demanded server that many people have wished to see return would be a good idea in this case due to the fact that our 24/7 Minecraft TTT has increased so much in popularity and ranking, it would make more sense to have a second server as the 24/7 server sometimes gets full. The second TTT server should contain a map pool of the most popular TTT maps only and potentially other maps the community can suggest too.

Deathrun and its future
Deathrun has been down a patchy path (again), with a recent former Server Owner resigning, Annie has been left struggling with implementing his and the community ideas and suggestions into Deathrun which is a big issue. I will do my best on helping Annie out with this by working alongside with DEAD on suggestions that still need to make a presense on the server in order to keep the core gameplay itself fun.

---

BHOP/Surf and its future
These servers have recently had wipes which has indeed helped the server as this is what the players had wanted. I will also help these two servers by potentially releasing brand new unlocks that are not CS:GO Knifes and have been suggested for a while but never been added yet which were good suggestions for the servers which I can promise that they will be done as soon as myself and DEAD are finished with the upcoming Pointshop update.

---

Jailbreak and its future
As always I have constantly been working on Jailbreak with future updates and ideas I wish to implement at some point in time. One of my biggest concerns for Jailbreak at the moment is the player-count, it is very low and hardly gets players online unless 10+ players is online, the server would then appear to do really well so I will need to figure out a plan on how we can draw players into Jailbreak - there could be things such as challenges and exclusive Pointshop rewards I have had the thought about implementing and as always I'd appriciate it if anyone here has any other ideas for me to consider.

I hope you guys are able to leave me some constructive feedback you have, this will greatly help me a lot and I am willing to help improve myself if there are any negatives about me applying for Community Manager. I would also like to thank the Community Team for opening the applications as I feel like we are in need of some new Community Manager and I hope you guys are satisfied enough to vote for me for Community Manager.

Good luck to everyone else who is applying for this position!
