Trial Phase ParkRangerMoon's TTT Staff Application

zomborg said:
I have played with you quite a bit especially as of late, and the way you play and act is not becoming of staff. In one game session yesterday I witnessed you intentionally rdm at the beginning of the round no less than 3 times. Whether you get reported for it is irrelevant, considering they were prop kills and they do not tell you who kills you. It's cool to mess around, sure.. but intentional RDM looks bad on you even when you aren't staff and I don't see that stopping once you do.

I'm interested in what you saw specifically. There was one instance of genuine RDM in my entire session, and it was an accident but yes it did happen at round start. Yesterday I was playing legitimately and any other "round start" kills were done as a T. The prop kill attribution system is pretty accurate (but not perfect), but even still i believe I only prop killed once, and it was a legitimate kill. I was mostly practicing with the winchester. I even used warnings when throwing combobs as a T. The specific change in playstyle is a direct response to the feedback from others on this thread asking to tone down on the RDM.

I find your attitude in the server is very immature and I can't remotely say that you would staff without bias or without causing issues yourself, or there being an issue where you may not slay yourself if you are the only staff member on. At this time I don't think you have the right mentality to be staff and some of the responses to these comments kind of cement that for me personally.

I am also interested in specifics on attitude or the thoughts I couldn't staff myself. I feel like I don't talk much on the server, I mostly use radio commands and my other comments feel pretty neutral. I'd be interested if anyone else has comments on this as well. I don't lie in reports and if I did something wrong, I will admit to it and take the slay without issue. And in previous staff tenures, as well as any future staff tenures, I treat any self reports more aggressively as staff should be held to a higher standard and I don't like even the appearance of bias. If this is more based on me having bad vibes than anything, I do apologize. I feel like I try to give off a more friendly vibe, and a lot of players are people I have played with for many years at this point so there is a degree of familiarity and informality. I will try to work on my image going forward because a bad vibe can throw off new players, which is the opposite of what any staff member should want.

What I saw specifically was on the MC map with the pigs, the round started and 3 seconds into it, you picked a pig up and threw it at someone as an innocent. I killed you because I witnessed it fully, right at the start of the round. You did not have it picked up pre-round, you picked it up and threw it after the round had started. I even @ admin chat about it bc it was so dumb that you would be intentionally RDMing. I do not believe that this was an accident in any way.


In regards to attitude, if you mess around all match and troll a bunch it's hard for people to see you taking things seriously. Perhaps this is an instance of that, and is just from my personal experiences. I don't care too much about what happened in the past as I'd hope everyone can grow in however many years it's been.

Yeah, that did happen. Tried to kill with the pig pre-round, and it wasn't working. I assumed it was a problem with the prop and did not expect to get a kill with it once the round started, although I now think there might have been a change preventing prop damage pre-round?

I don't believe I troll when I play, I try and play an honest game. I'm not regularly giving out t weapons or ratting out T buddies or T baiting or instigating RDM as a detective. I'm still unsure of what you're talking about that is different from how others play the game, or from how other staff members play the game. I'm open to the feedback, I'm just having a hard time seeing what you're talking about.



Edit: I have been informed that prop killing hasn't worked pre-round since SGM and that I am, in fact, just bad at prop killing.

Also, @zomborg I feel like we haven't really interacted much in game but I don't recall any really negative interactions. You've always been enjoyable to play with and add a good vibe to the server. I sincerely apologize if I have done the opposite for you.
