Why do you wish to apply for the Gamemaster position?
I Wish to apply to the GM Team Because first off, before i left the GM team i enjoyed hosting events, i loved giving people an event they can enjoy and have fun in while experiencing the RP/Combat aspects of the event and i always loved making my own stories and when nothing was going on the sever i always loved doing a random RE now and then and/or sim as both a GM and Commander. plus with vexin now gone and with sometimes stuff not happening on the server, i wish to join to help host events and keep the server active when i can and make sure people have a good and fun time. plus now that im doing better wifi side i can now balance both being a command member and a GM once more.

What sets you apart from the other applicants?
I Have been on this server for a very long time, i think 3-4 years? idk but its around that, and i have experience in being a GM on this server before and has assisted/hosted some very good quality events before, one being the 2nd 1st battle of geonosis event which a ton of people enjoyed at the time and of course an event involving point ringo which trigged a small memorial thing for events for a short period of time.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your creativity?
I Would Say about 7.5

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your knowledge of the lore?
I would say about 6-7.5, more like in the middle ground.

Provide an example of an event you can create.
Alright, first thing i can think of is a sector capture on the planet mygeeto where a Secret slave trafficking ring funded by the CIS is being held with 3 command posts, the republic forces mission would be to capture each post, free the slaves and eliminate/capture any of the Slave Trafficking operation leads.

First when the mission starts, troops would be deployed on a landing zone with whatever gear they have in their arsenal, being vehicles, bombs, explosives, artillery, ships etc. they would first set out to command post Charlie to capture it and eliminate all Slave Traffickers/CIS Forces and free any slaves there. on their they would encounter some side objectives like a Biohazard for 21st/Researchers or some plants for plant rp for 41st or even a crashed ATTE to repair for 104th.

once they get to the outpost they would clear out all the droids in the area including vehicles and then hack a holotable to capture the command post. during that time after everything is cleared they would free the first group of slaves and find some other side objectives like some refineries to blow or artillery emplacements, and maybe some other side objectives.

after that i would have 41st scout the next command post on their own while everyone else holds the command post (during that i would place some drop pods so people have something to do while 41st scouts it out). after 41st scouts the next command post Echo they would be ambushed by CIS forces and would request backup, then main force would catch up and eliminate all enemy forces in their path. during their time getting over they would find more side objectives being some emplacements to blow or more biohazards and another damaged ATTE. once they get to the next outpost they would clear it again but this time encounter B3's and a Trafficker Elite (EC) and would have a hard time dealing with them. after both threats are eliminated they would hack the holotable again and find a console with info on the lead of the operation being a CIS General named Lopaz and that he's at the last command post with heavy defenses and during that they would free more slaves and find more side objectives being drugs and a sith holocron.

now after all of that is done they would make their to the final command post Alpha, armed with 2 turbolasers, 2 infantry turrets and 2 anti air turrets, heavily defended by B2's, vehicles and etc. troops would have a difficult time as this is the last push and effort, they would experience several casualties but once they get to the Command post they would face off against the General and a experimental Droid unit called "DX-1". troops would have a boss fight with the DX-1 and during that shock and SF would handle detaining the general. once the DX-1 is eliminated, everyone would regroup, capture the general, rescue the slaves and evac back to base and after that they would take the General to Coruscant to the prison there, and thus the end of the mission.

Do you understand that abuse of power will result in your removal and blacklist?
I completely understand

What is your prior experience with gamemastering or similar roles?
Well like i said before, i use to be a gamemaster on this server, A Senior Gamemaster V to be specific when that was a thing and i had assisted/hosted different kinds of events and very popular events, one being the 2nd 1st battle of geonosis mega event which i had worked on planning on my own with some help for ec's and such. but yeah i use to be a GM here before for a long while, i would say a year or 2 maybe, might just be a year but cant really be sure, and in my time as a GM during that time i have learned a lot about how events were hosted, thought about how players would react with certain things, placement of objectives etc, i had learn a lot from my days of being a GM back then and with that experience from the old days of me being a GM i wish to bring to the table to the current/new GM's that we currently have.

How do you handle conflict and difficult situations?
It depends on what kind of Conflict/difficult situation you want me to explain. for example during my events if there was a minge constantly getting into vehicles they shouldnt be, how i would handle that would be first warn the guy to stop doing that but usually that is a staff issue, so i would inform the staff to keep an eye on him and handle them if they keep causing issues but if they keep going and we cant really ban or kick em then i would jail them in a corner for the remainder of the event, that is what i used to do, not a lot of the time but only when it gets to that point unless the minge does something very stupid and gets themselves banned. usually though in most conflicts/difficult situations in my events i would inform staff about it and let them handle it and only step in if i need to during my events, outside of that i would just let the staff handle it anyway as its their job to handle troublemakers and mine as a GM would be hosting events and making sure my events run smoothly.

What are your preferred event genres or themes?
some of my preferred events would be 1 command posts capture offmaps with a mix of a bit of rp but mostly combat, and 2 defense offmaps for those that remember my defense offmap events with little rp but a ton of combat and a time limit where the more time pass the harder it gets. i mostly love hosting combat missions/events once a while that either is to defend a sector, capture command post's, recapture command posts, etc. (i also like hosting sims for the most part besides events ontop of RE's and such)

Is there anything else you wish to add?
so, only stuff i will add is a few things. 1, only days i wont really be on is Tuesdays and Thursdays, i might get on thursdays depending on the situation and whats happening but im never online on tuesdays cause fuck steam maintenance tuesdays. lastly i load in a bit slower then others, i have not been timing out a ton only once or twice now which is good but im saying this incase anyone wanders why the main GM is loading in slower.
