A few months ago I decided I would begin gaming on the PC once again. My library only consisted of a few free-to-play games and Garry’s mod. Seeing that the free-to-play games were free-to-play because they sucked, I decided I would play Garry’s mod some. Since I was relatively new to the game I decided to call me friend on skype to see what gamemode we would play together, the game mode he suggested was DarkRP. Since he was far more experience at DarkRP, he knew what a server needed to have in order for it to be an enjoyable experience for noobies and vets. He went from server to server in search of the right one. After about 15 minutes of searching he was ready to give up and just play prop hunt, but just then he stumbled across the server that was perfect… And that server was RetroRP.
Upon loading into RetroRP I noticed I couldn’t help but notice the slogan “You haven’t played DarkRP until now.” The slogan got me a little excited about what was on the other side of the loading screen. I finally join and what do I see? Prop blocking at spawn! I tell my friend (he hasn’t spawned in yet) not to even waste your time downloading the add-ons because the spawn was prop blocked and there was no way to out. I was about to disconnect from the server when I see an amazing sight. A skeleton emerges gracefully from the ground and then boom, a permaban was issued to the prop blocker and chaos at spawn had seized. Then suddenly, grey boxes on the left side of my screen began rapidly popping up on my screen and I saw people changing into police officers, prostitutes, ninjas, gangsters, and gun dealers and at that moment I knew I was on the right server and my friend did too.
Within the hour I began to fall in love with RetroRP and I couldn’t have been alone. The server just had absolutely so much to offer! To start off, the list of non-donor jobs was and still is very extensive compared to other servers. I gave me the feeling that this server would long keep me entertained and I believe that is what a majority of players look for in a server. On top of this, the players that make up the community were phenomenal. The server has all type of fun players, from serious role-players to the weird ones that are constantly reciting lines from Shrek is Love, Shrek is life. These players make up the server and without RetroRP wouldn’t be the server it is today. This server is love, this server is life.
Believe it or not I didn’t always use to be that I am today. I wasn’t always helpful. I didn’t always follow the rules. I was the player that would occasionally break rules. I was the player that trolled others. I was a typical player. The guy that put fun first and the rules last. Then I had a run in with staff.
After my careless lifestyle on RetroRP is had a run in with the law. After a talk with a staff member I began to understand the server rules and the responsibilities I had as a member of Retro. After the talk, I began to discipline myself. I began following the rules and started to become known in a positive way through the community. I began to help out other players and it felt really good. At the same time that I began helping other players the majority of the staff began to riot and they either left or were banned. At this moment I knew it was time for me to step up. I knew it was time to apply for staff.
I applied for trial-mod and got numerous +1 from staff members who have seen me helping out other players and from players that I have helped. I got the news one day while role playing on the server. Vioteck and Drew teleported me to the roof of a building and began accusing of breaking the rules. I was confused and terrified at the same time because I knew I did nothing wrong and because getting in trouble now will keep my application from getting accepted. But what I didn’t know is that they were trolling me and I was granted the rank of Trial-mod. I was taught the basic commands that came with the rank and immediately began patrolling the server. With the rank I was able to help players much more than I ever could before and I loved it. After weeks of getting that best that I could at my job as Trial-Mod, it was time to move up.
Similar to the previous experience of being giving the rank of Trial-Mod, Vioteck teleported me to him and I was granted the rank of Moderator. I was briefed on the new commands, such as !noclip, !cloak, etc. Afterwards and I went off on my way to do what I love doing. With the new prefix of Moderator I began getting a lot of recognition. The recognition I received allowed me to meet several new people and these new people became some of my best friends. But more importantly the recognition allowed more players to come up to me and ask for help with problems. To me this is one of the best feeling a member of staff can have.
Those were just some of the reasons I am ready for the rank of Admin. As a Moderator I believe I have learned everything that I need to know. I believe I have trained hard enough and long enough to be ready for this rank. With my hundreds of hours played on RetroRP, I believe that I have the experience to properly carryout the duties that come with the rank. I wish to make the server the best that I can. I will make the server a fun experience for everyone no matter what it takes. I there is a problem I will handle in a professional way. There is not a thing I will not do to carry out my duty as an Admin.
Ever since I joined the server months ago I have been helping it out. I have helped in obvious ways as staff and in non-obvious ways as a member. As a member I helped the server in small was such as inviting new players and teaching players about wiremod. I liked the feeling of helping people so that is why I applied to staff. As staff I have stopped mass RDM’s, DDOS threats, player disputes, and much more. I can honestly say that since I acquired my position as staff I have been trying my hardest to make it amazing. I always listen to both sides of the story, I always enforce the rules, and I always treat members fairly and with respect. If I get the rank of admin I will continue doing what I love to do and will give it all I got.
I would like to dedicate this paragraph to thank some important people. I would like to thank ChrispyYT for finding this amazing server for me. I would also like thank him for encouraging me to apply staff. I would like to thank Drew for all the time he has taken to train me and get me ready for Admin. I would like to thank Lav personally for supporting me through me entire experience as staff. And of course, I would like to thank Vioteck for giving me the opportunity in the first place. I know that I probably sound like a kiss up in this paragraph but I just want to give credit where it is due. I really wish to be granted the privilege of Admin and I promise that this will be a decision you will not regret.
