Mr.Rawrstix's Amazing Application of Infinite Greatness ©

What are you applying for:
GM I guess? I never saw a list of what I could apply for, I'm good at coding and I consider myself a good gfx artist so it depends on what positions are actually open.

Name :
James oh shit so awesome

Age:
18

Where do you live/Timezone:
Central

How active will you be:
As much as I can, which amounts to around 3 hours daily. Weekends are very spontaneous so I couldn't give a definite time.

E-Mail:
fatcow205@gmail.com

Hobbies:
I tend to do really awesome stuff in my spare time..Like sitting on the couch and doing nothing on my laptop for extended periods of time. Nothing includes, but is not limited to: maplestory, creating mediocre art, and watching various anime. I know, I'm very exciting.

How you'd handle a hacker:
!jail <username>. Then, after a couple hours of water-boarding and other stress inducing torture, I'd let him go. This really depends on what kind of hack the user is performing. I prefer not to instantly ip ban small time hackers (speed hackers and such) but for the more serious ones (godmode ect) I feel that banning is in fact necessary. Of course whether I jail or not is up to the owner and their personal preference on the matter.

If two people were fighting, what would you do?:
That also depends really. If they're argueing over something stupid to themselves then let them work it out. Now if there's two people spamming curse words and smegas in the FM then ~~fist-de-cuffs~~ I'd tell em to shutup...further annoyance will result in muting or jailtime.

How many servers have you been a GM/Admin in?(list them):
MeowMixMS
Helped get it off the ground only to watch it fall back down.
RyanMS
Just a regular admin till the owner got bored and shut it down.
DreamersMS
Friend owned the server and for a while it was fun. Now it's gone.

I then decided to create my own server, RawrstixMS, but my ISP decided that port-forwarding wasn't something their customers should be using, so I closed it.

Why should we choose you:
That would depend on where you need me. I could mod the masses or create art for the site. I can contribute to the creation of custom NPCs and other such things. Like I said before, I've made a server myself and I'm by no means new to java coding or how a server should look or run like. If what you're looking for is a staff member with great amount of previous experience, good contributing ideas, and a good idea of the nature of private servers then look no further. I'm good natured and I have a relaxed demeanor about me so it's easy for me to get along with the people I'm around. My spare time is at your disposal.

Reason I applied:
Because I felt the need to be apart of something greater than myself... rose

and I'm bored and love maplestory.

Summary of yourself:
I'm in my senior year of highschool with a goal to become a videogame artist. I have quite a lot of free time and thought I should channel that into something other than browsing youtube and 4chan for hours on end. I played gms since version 30 or so and have been off and on ever since. I'm pretty much amazing or something.

Extra Info:
videa gaems mak me hapy!

How long does it take for the earth to go around the sun?:
365.25 days, bitch.

In game name:
MrRawrstix
shit he means business

Can you Java code?:
I dabble here and there but everything was lost in a gigantic fire...or I deleted it in anger after the damn ISP foiled my plans.

Simple questions.
1.Do you know the players/staff well enough to be chosen?
Sure don't
2.Have you been on Soul MS long enough to deserve a GM position:
Sure haven't
3.Do you help players any chance you get:
Always
4.Are you of the age that is required to apply(if no you might as well delete this app now):
Sure am
5.Please specify exactly(or around) how long you have been playing Soul MS:
A day

So you would let a hacker play after a few hours of jail time ? He gained illegit levels but eh I guess we can let him keep those levels he gained so we don't ruin his fun !

Hes just gonna go play his ps3, watch porn and eat, then come back and laugh at how stupid the GM who handled him was dumb for not banning him.

If every GM out there had the same rules, everyone would be hacking until they get caught, then stop and enjoy the easy levels/items they gained.

You forgot the water-boarding and stress induced torture.

Do I believe speed-hacking and fly hacking should result in perma ban? No I don't. Although if it's a rule to ip ban any hack then so be it.
Other hacks that I may consider to be a greater risk to the community and to the server are ipban worthy.

This is just how I would operate without any restrictions given by the owner. With said restrictions, my plan of action may differ.

Hacking is hacking, whatever the hack is.
They know its against the rules, doing so is saying fuck the rules. GMs are here so we follow rules.

Thats my way of seeing things though.

If it was in GMS, a GM caught you fly hacking or speed hacking, he wouldn't think;

Oh hes not fucking up the economy, lets just ban him for a day !

He would obviously think and do;

Oh hes using 3rd party program to do something he is not allowed to, BAN.

Apply that logic to real life and you'll need to build a lot more cemeteries and execution devises.
I guess we see things differently.

It's not my opinion or yours that will truly affect what I do as a GM though so I wouldn't worry about it to much if I were you.

Cemeteries and execution ? So every crimes and every thing thats not allowed to be done in real life has the same consequence, and its death ?

If you do something you're not allowed do, the consequences have to be faced. If you apply YOUR logic to real life, killing someone for the first time would only give the murderer a warning, or a few hours/days in jail.
(Don't troll me because I used that example, I know its maple)

No, you would obviously suffer the right consequences because you did not follow the rules.
I'm pretty sure the rules for hacking are pretty obvious for everyone though, Jailing someone who's hacking just sounds stupid to me, but your right;
I'm not the one deciding, just wanted to share my opinion.

Hugo's right. Just don't respond my eyes are hurting from reading everything.

Okay I'm going to say what I've already said before, but in a different way.

If a hack is detrimental to the users ability to play and enjoy the game then I would ipban them. I compare this to murder.
If a hack is small like a speed hack then I believe jail time in necessary. I compare this is robbery.

I'm done discussing this, I feel my opinion on the matter has been properly expressed and will await approval/disapproval from the owner.

You understand the robber and the murderer would both go to jail though right ? Just saying.
Jail to me is more for Kill Stealing; Cussing abusively; disrespecting a GM for a first offense; etc.

Hackers should not be banned for the hacks they are using and the problems they cause to the community, they should be banned for NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.

I know KSing, Cussing, etc are not following the rules too, but it can happen on the spot, while being angry or for some other reasons, that is why I believe those should get a warning, and if they persists, a ban.

Hacking though, is an other thing, its not in a RAGE moment. You actually have to download this shit, so you've had the time to think about what you're doing.

I'm done too, my point has been made.

Great title by the way.

Truth hacking is hacking you cannot let the hackers that are only doing something small slide, when the guys hitting cap damage at lvl 70 get the short end of the stick.

or else it would be safe to say that someone who robbed 1,000 dollars from a bank should only have to sit in the corner for 20minutes while the guy who cleared out the entire vault gets 15 to 20 years.

If someone is speed hacking and I catch them, jail them for a bit, and release them, they then can decide whether or not they actually want to be on this server. It’s not directly affecting the community and if it gets to a point where it is then sift action will take place.
My metaphor only works so far, applying it more than it was meant to applied will, of course, show fault in it.

I never meant this to be so "controversial" but it seems it has become that. I clearly see both sides of the argument and explaining your side any further would be a tad redundant, as is the case with the past 10 posts. If it so concerns you what I may do if I happen to become the next GM then assure yourself this, I will follow the guidelines given to me and work within those guidelines.

If anyone would like to comment on any other part of my application then be by guest.

lol u dont understand, its still considered hacking. If a new comer comes in and see people flying what will they think? i suggest u change the way u think and it does affect the community. I know what u mean but its not the way people will see it and it wont work, but its up to u change it or not and up to them to accept you on this.

Okay this is the final time I'll defend my point.

iooveu wrote:: lol u dont understand, its still considered hacking.

I never said it's not hack.

iooveu wrote:: If a new comer comes in and see people flying what will they think?

Most hackers won't do it in front of a bunch of people and if they do they won't be on the server for long anyways. I'm not saying I would ever allow fly hacking, I'm saying I won't ip-ban people that do unless the rules say other wise. I'll either temporally ban them or jail them for a day. You're still going to have players that hack in front of other people, ip-ban or not.

I've been a GM on several different servers that had a rule similar to this and it worked fine. I give people a second chance and if they're stupid enough to abuse it (and they must be pretty stupid to do it in the first place) then they won't be on the server anymore. In my past experiences, people who have gotten a second chance usually stop or leave.
