TOPIC: [Surf Admin] Dias Application

How does he actively staff on live when he has played 24 minutes in the past week? he isn't going to be staffing on the dev server so it's completely irrelevant, obviously it's nice for him to help out with testing but at the end of the day he's applying for a position on live that has nothing to do with helping out on a dev server.

Quick note: thx for the support nyx, i really appreciate it.

I understand the critique, and if my playtime on the current zarp surf server is less then it should be i truly understand that point.
On the otherhand, work that ive done in the last weeks for zarp is not only messured by playtime.
E.g. I cleaned up a lot of mess caused by other players on the leaderboard. I have done a lot to improve our future projects and brought up a lot of points how zarp can improve for everyone from beginner to "pro".

To bring up the other point of critique, that my application is hot garbage:
That was the point.
Like fr, why should i write a 2000-words letter to bring up points that the staff members should already now in the first half.

Ive played on zarp for litteral YEARS, and even in times where i wasnt enjoying the time on here, or didnt agree with the past staff members, I still tried to bring up my opinion on how to improve the situation.

And before i forget, the "german trash"... thats me... i would never call someone like that, unless its an obvious joke between me and that person. Which is me in that case, as i said lul.

Thx for everyone thats supporting me,
and hope yall have a great day <3

What's up with everyone having a problem with being serious?

I love being serious if you didn't tell by now.

Yes, you love being serious and that's okay. But not everyone wants to spend his freetime with being serious and basically pretending to work in a company, but for free. It is after all a gaming community. We're not applying for a paid job. The ppl who apply, are volunteers, who want to improve a gamemode they love. It doesn't have to be serious all the time. And especially when it comes to gaming and gamemodes like surf.

What counts more than any application is the effort a person puts into the gamemode and the community. Dia has proven himself in regards of his love towards surf.

He doesnt. And I can assure you that the amount of effort he put into the server more than outweighs his application.

Honestly Nyx and Dias, if you would be so kind to allow me to bring some light to this, i think i understand where the communication is lost throughout this debate whether or not he is deserving and for what.

I completely understand and respect the focus and dedication by working behind the curtains, however, you can't ask someone in the audience to cast a vote for that person without them actually having something to measure their vote with. Words of assertion by a third party usually mean nothing, especially when there is little to no effort by the person applying to at least convince the community of his good intentions towards moderating the server. That is why, his contribution, as i mentioned already, is greatly appreciated, especially when it is for the greater development of something that will benefit the whole community when it's released, however, this has some, if not full difference from the position he is applying for with such a humorous way.

I can also accept the "not taking this more serious than your studies" statement, always to a certain extent, as this is a community based on garrys mod, however, the reason this IS a community is due to people being serious enough to create terms of use, rules, procedures, meetings, and many more. None of these would exist without such people in those ranks. Not being serious enough is for people not in the ranks.

I never mentioned being robots taking orders and having an army's discipline, but keeping fun and giggles where it belongs, which is definitely not in an application, it would most likely keep the rant to a minimum if not completely gone with some live server's activity

Overqualified for this position

No one's telling you to write a 2000 word essay but no one is telling you to skip the effort. The whole point of an application is for you to show your knowledge of the server and show that you're able to handle new powers. You not bringing up points because staff members already know it is retarded because that's how you are supposed to apply, by SHOWING these points.

Also like other people said but I'll iterate. I don't see why you should get preferential treatment when it comes to activity when lots of other people either been denied for it or given warnings.
