Hello, I'm Euan and hopefully you've seen me on bhop or surf over the last couple of months. I'm from the UK and am currently in my fourth year at university studying Economics. Outside of this my hobbies include DotA 2 and sports; I love mountain biking and kayaking and also watch a lot of football, rugby and formula 1. I been playing GarrysMod since 2012 where I fell in love with TTT and ended up co-owning a server for a couple of years. After this I wanted to run my own server and ran a two servered TTT community for about 8 months before stopping due to my GCSE exams clashing with the work I had to do on the server. I dabbled in and out of servers for a bit from then due to my A-levels being my priority and needing a break from TTT after playing for a number of years. Following that I found bhop in 2018 where I truly fell in love with some communities and players and have been hanging around there (like a bad smell) ever since! I joined zarp late in 2020 and have really come to like some of you guys, I'd love to put even more of my effort and expertise into the bhop server and turn it into a product that zarp can be truly proud of.


Since joining zarp I have realised that bhop is an underappreciated, unloved gem of a server that needs the same dedication as all the other servers; I want to give it that. Over the last couple of months, I have been working closely with mix3ers’ working out new maps and discussing improvements and changes that could best improve our server. Continuing this trend, I believe plenty of opportunity is out there for further development, whether it be record bots, new maps, bhop exclusive pointshop rewards or ssj there is a lot that can be done. Additionally, the staff team is very small and this needs to change, I intend to grow the team and create a real supportive staff entity around the server in order for collaboration, and better, more consistent staffing.

As I have already alluded to, I have experience owning servers. This has developed skills such as team management, development of ideas both front- and back-end and forum and administrative understating. As well as this I have LUA experience and have worked on a couple of addons that have been sold on the old gmodstore.
Outside of this experience I believe I am a very level-headed, calm and understanding person, and I hope that you will agree that my knowledge of GMod as well as my management skills lends to me being able to assert confidence in the behaviour and standard of the future staff team. Additionally, I want to instil a faith that bhop will receive consistent updates and improvements as and when it is necessary.


Since Nick recommended to me that I consider applying for staff in November last year I have been an active user on the forums, teamspeak and discord. I have made plenty of friends on zarp and truly love the place and as such I’m am eager to give back. I also am extremely helpful, diligent and easy to talk to which in turn has combined well with my staff responsibilities on both bhop and surf.
On both these servers I have not only taken a lead role in suggesting with the CM’s and mix3rs’ on how the server can be developed but have shown a great level of ability when undertaking my day-to-day staffing activites. I hope my fellow staff can testify to this.
As I understand it bhop hasn’t had a head admin for a couple of years and I believe I have what it takes to take up this position truly expand the zarp bhop experience.

Thank you for reading my application, I am keen for any feedback.

Dear Euan, please ignore this as I posted this message with haste before checking the proper templates myself. I have made some mistakes in the community I will admit but I am always quick to apologize when I do so. In this instance I know I was wrong so I am once again asking for forgiveness. I know that words will never be able to wipe the slate clean as I will never be able to get across how deeply remorseful I am of my actions but hopefully my apology means we can begin the journey towards rectifying my misdeeds. I know that 100% of the people who saw my original message discrediting your application will not see this message, making the damage done both immeasurable and irreversible. Because of this I will never be sure that you will be rid of the distraught caused by a situation I put you in. Perhaps sometime in the future when you become head admin we will look back on this and laugh, but until then I will be understanding if you never want to speak to me ever again.

Please don't look at this and my past mistakes as things that are bad, but rather things I have learned from, and for that I will be grateful.
