Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
"Jerome get yo lazy ass up and get to school right now!" The shout echoed through the two bedroom house "Righto pa. I'll be down in a minute or two." Jerome lazily replied "No... You'll be up in a minute flat. I won't have my son being slow even if you have just woke up." Jerome's father replied back in a quick shout. After quickly placing on his checkered shirt and blue ripped jeans Jerome headed down to the kitchen to enjoy his breakfast.

After a quick breakfast Jerome happily grabbed his bag and walked to school. Whilst walking to school he though to himself "So my pa wants me to join the army when I get older. Being that I'm 15 now, I'll be in the army soon enough!" - Where did this come from? It had no build-up or anything, just him stating that 'my dad wants me to join the army'. - He though this to himself all the way to school. Arriving at the main gates Jerome realized he was 15 minutes late and so he headed straight to the gym facility. Plopping his bag down next to the weights Jerome picked up a heavy weight and tested it by holding it above his head and then carefully letting it fall to his knees and then back up. He repeated this movement with both arms many times. 14 minutes after starting, the bell rang and Jerome headed straight to first class which was math. Jerome was not the best at maths but "Hell, who is?" He though to himself. Once arriving in the class his teacher announced to them all that they had maths twice. Right now and straight after.

Not a great start, your grammar is horrible and you cannot seem to spell 'thought' properly - nor can you seem to use commas, just an excessive amount of full-stops.

Jerome lazily walked out of the math class as soon as it finished with his friend Robert. Robert was Jerome's only and closest friend, and always would be til Jerome joined the forces. Even though Robert and Jerome talked a lot, Jerome still wanted to be alone so he could concentrate more. So after a hasty "I have to go be somewhere." Jerome walked straight back to his den... The Gym to lift more weights. - More excessive use of full-stops. After school Jerome decided he would take the long way home, even if that meant heading straight past the Tiffans. - No build up to what the 'Tiffans' is yet again.

Walking down the last alley of the street Jerome noticed the man trailing after him. Jerome picked up the pace and continued walking down the alley when suddenly the bloke behind him shouted out "Ey nigger boy. What you doin' outta yo cotton field?" Jerome slowly turned around as the young Tiffan laughed "Yeah nigger boy, I asked that and I know how much you hate bein' called a nigger... Nigger." The Tiffan said the last word slower than the rest just to add more impact onto Jerome. "Excuse me... I think you're Jimmy right? Jimmy Tiffan? If so, please just go home. I don't want to get in a fight." "I don't want to get in a fight." The Jimmy repeated the sentence in a high pitched voice and then he lunged. - 'he lunged.' Really? Make a lunge: "the guests lunged at the food" I'm fairly certain that the back-story has to be detailed, which this is not. - Fists flew and blood danced on the walls as the two exchanged fists. Even though Jerome worked out he had forgot all that and just went into defend mode, allowing the Tiffan to rain down on his arms and lower body till he tired and had to stop and then he did, with a quick moment Jerome let his guard down and started to punch Jimmy in the chest, jaw and head repeatedly. This went on until a man walked past and shouted "You! Yes you! Leave that boy alone now!" Without any hesitation Jerome ran the fuck away back to his home to explain what happened.

"YOU GOT IN A FIGHT YOU FOOL! YOU'RE GOING TO MILITARY SCHOOL NOW!" - I don't even know what to say to this. - Jerome's father was in such a rage that he didn't react for 10 minutes after Jerome had finished explaining. The silence was awkward till Jerome's father unleashed the beast - I can't tell if the beast is referring to his penis or not, seriously. It's detail is lacking that much. - and started shouting. Jerome's mother however was crying about how her son was a thug and would accomplish nothing, - But wasn't he the one who got beaten up? - saying how he is going to Military school till he learned hit lesson.

Trains, planes and buses were what got Jerome to his new home at Military school. This place would soon become Jerome's life and home for many years to come. He was 15 and nearly ready to join the actual army so his first few weeks were physical and mental tests. Drills and workouts, speeches from veterans and the such. Shooting practice was also done weekly. After spending several years there Jerome enlisted.

Several years in the military had made Jerome accustomed to poor living conditions and severe situations. He joined up in 1995 at the age of 16 and was now 19. The year was 2001 and Jerome was stationed out in Iraq. He had been there for a little while and had already been shot at whilst on many patrols. He was one of the first in his group to kill an insurgent and was, that night subjected to a drinking challenge with his friends. This was his dream, to live and breathe the army. He loved it, the training, drills, routines and the action. The rush of adrenaline was a feeling all the men there loved. That moment when you feel immortal and don't feel pain. The moment when you are with your squad and you take fire, the moment you return fire and the moment when you realize your situation and you come back to full senses. That was a craving all the men there had. The training Jerome was doing was advanced survival training and also advanced hand to hand. He was not the best at Hand to hand - Then why would he be learning 'advanced' hand-to-hand combat? - but he picked up some tricks and soon improved. Still not the best but he was still a good fighter none the less. Whilst out on a patrol his squad was hit with an RPG shot. The shrapnel tore through the men at the front and straight after the shot a flurry of AK47's fired off. Volley after volley of bullets ripped the air apart. The sound of whizzing bullets was enough for the men to realize they had to run, and run they did. Whilst running to a ditch no more than three meters away Jerome was hit in the knee by a stray AK shot. - But he couldn't of been hit in the knee if he was running away and not directly at them. - The shot ripped through his skin and bone and sent pieces of his knee into his squad mates in front of him. - I don't have words for this. That is genuinely retarded. - Whilst in the ditch Jerome applied as much pressure as he could to the wound as a Humvee turned up and sent .50 shots down the street. The sight of such a powerful weapon was amazing and the way that the rounds ripped the walls apart was astonishing. But Jerome was more worried about his blown out knee cap.

Many hours in surgery Jerome was sent back to America where he was treated. A knee replacement was placed in and Jerome had to learn how to use his leg without damaging it further. He spent a year in hospital and two years with personal care. - Why would you spend a year in hospital and 2 in care by getting shot in the knee? - He spent his time adapting to his new ailment and the yearning to rejoin the Army. That can't happen now he though to himself over and over again. After many years in his one bed roomed apartment he decided he was heading out to a new place. A place of peace and serenity. So Jerome went on down to a shop with postcards and closed his eyes. He spun the card rack once and picked up card as it was spinning. On the card was a mountain village in Romania. The place had a small cave you could live in. He payed for the card and headed straight to book a plane for Romania. The mountain village was close to a farm which the locals used to farm wheat and vegetables. There was also a small river with fish in it. Fresh berries and nuts were also known to grow there. These berries were safe to eat, as were the nuts and would give you enough protein to last. After finishing up on selling his items Jerome picked up his old US Army vest and checked the kevlar "Well, this is coming with me." He said out aloud and so he put it in his suitcase, along with his knife - How he would be able to get a 9 inch saw back knife through customs is absolutely beyond me. - and headed to the air port. On arriving to the airport he went through all the procedures and proceeded to walk onto the plane. He say next to the window with a nice couple who he talked to for a little. Slowly, as the plane started to rise Jerome thought to himself "Time for a new life."

After arriving at Romania he got a horse drawn cart up to the small mountain village. After arriving at the village he was shown to the cave he would be living in for many years to come. The place was small enough for him to bear and he was given a tour of the village and left to his own devices. Whilst living there he started to do self reflection times where he would sit for two hours a day thinking of nothing except what he had done with his life. His knee was a big problem though when it came to coming down the mountain so he stayed up in his cave with nothing except the village people and his memories. His vest though he wore everyday just so he could remember his happiest days in the Army.

A loud bang came over head as many metal object flew out of the sky and landed in the ground. The metal things landed no where near the mountain village so Jerome left it be and stayed up in his cave for days. He later learned two days later that Earth was took over within 7 hours, gobsmacked Jerome went down the mountain to fish and noticed the emptiness. No people or fishers were out just Jerome and some of the villagers. Jerome did however go on with his life of fishing and cave dwelling mainly because he had learned the truth of what had happened as many refugees came through heading to a place called Inue valley.

YEAH BECAUSE HE TOTALLY WOULDN'T OF NOTICED THE XEN ALIENS OR PORTAL STORMS OR EXPLOSIONS OR ANYTHING

The year was 2015 when the earth had fallen and now it was 2018. - How did he survive for this long? You never detailed that. - Jerome was stilling residing in the cave next to the village and he saw the odd helicopter like device fly past. The people he lived with soon started wandering out and some didn't come back at all but Jerome went out and scouted the area around the village. What he found was a small settlement built around a ravine. There was a bridge heading to what looked like an Inn. As Jerome watched day in and day out he decided to head on down to the small town soon. He worked out whilst waiting his time and continued to eat the nuts, berries and fish. His knee was becoming no weaker or stronger and that had made him happy, knowing his knee was not going to fuck up on him on his climb down.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
An ex-military character named Jerome Martinéz;
This will enable me to RP as a soldier. You will think that this will be like "I am an ex soldier so take me in and I will fight for you yada bladah" But it won't. It'll go more along the lines of "I have seen many things but I don't want any trouble. I only wish to live and work."

But you clearly stated you want to RP with him as 'a soldier.'


Military skills e.g. Basic hand to hand, weapon training and survival tactics.
These skills will be what he will need to survive in the harsh areas of the valley. The military training alone will have pushed him hard so he will be able to take a bit of punishment. But not too much as that would be over powered. The survival tactics will allow him to basically be able to make filters and stuff along those lines. (To drink water)

But anybody can make 'filters'. You haven't detailed any of the infinitely large sum of perks that are able to be used from this authorization.

Military kevlar vest with a standard issue knife.
The vest will provide light protection against the odd 9mm bullet at a fair and also some melee weapons. The knife will be a way of gutting the fish he catches and a tool to use against people if they try to kill him.

At a fair what?
You clearly haven't though this through seeing as I pointed out how you can't possibly get a 9 inch saw-back knife through airport security.

Defects
An ex-military character named Jerome Martinéz;
If the OTA ever get a hold of him he will be shot without any hesitation, even if they have their new thing up. There maybe people in the valley who hate soldiers and blame them for the Combine taking over.
[/quote]

Being a member of the OTA myself, I can tell you that the OTA wouldn't 'shoot without any hesitation' just because you're ex-military, how would we even know how? Think up of better defects.

Fake knee
This will be a problem when doing long distance running and climbing. He can climb yes, but not for a long period of time. The knee also plays up sometimes causing him to have to sit down.

And the perks of the knee are...?


Un-sociable
As he has spent the majority of his time in the cave he has become skeptical of the people he meets. This will prove to be a problem if he gets confronted.

Un-sociable isn't a fucking word and nor is it an authorization you've applied for.


The knife and vest.
Knife: Some people may take it as a threat and try to kill Jerome for it. He will also have to sharpen it regularly with wets stone from the ravine.
Vest: Well, people will want a kevlar vest for more safety and comfort. It will also make him stand out as it is a desert camo one.

'with wets stone from the ravine'
Do I really have to make a comment on this? I really don't want to. That's not a fucking defect, and it never will be. Some people 'may' take it as a threat, but only if he acts threateningly with it. Did you learn nothing from Jack 'Greasy' Bandy's authorization application?


What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
.The soldier aspect makes him a target to some but will also keep him safe with the training.
.The knife is a tool and a weapon but also a defect. It also makes Jerome feel sage.
.The vest is another form of protection.

That didn't answer the original question, Jesus fucking Christ.

I do take all of what you say into mind. If you think this is stupid (Wich I can tell most of you will) I don't mind. I'm taking a long shot in doing this.

Hell yes I think this is fucking stupid. You clearly haven't learned anything from your past application, you have next to no role-play capability, your grammar and punctuation is very poor and I found it very hard to read, you've contradicted yourself multiple times in the application, and you cannot be trusted with an authorization of this magnitude.

And on a side note, 'many years' isn't an exact number.


Please, think about what you're writing before you post it - for fucks sake.

Maybe if you two use a LITTLE bit of common sense, you can answer those questions yourself.

Right now you are obviously trying to think of any bad excuse to loophole the rules.

<::[[ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Tapatalk 2 ]]::>

on the topic of common sense why are you trying to put anti-grief rules on a survival server

griefing is a part of survival and i think you just need to accept that instead of moaning on the forums lol

what if im afraid you'll find out i stole your stuff so in an attempt to slow you down from hunting me i destroyed half your base in the process so you'll be too busy repairing it so you won't kill me and i can survive


and what if we need to raid your base and take all the carrots for survival because obviously we need their carrots because we don't have enough for ourselves
and we had to destroy half their base on the way out because we got lost

and the other half fell apart because we forgot the potatoes and we had to go an alternate way



does that count as griefing dr nick 'i do not like losing items because i build too close to spawn' nero?

Exactly like you said yourself, step away from Gmod.
Minecraft is not fortwars, I don't want to build an impossible to raid fort just because there are some idiots around that love to steal and destroy stuff.
Minecraft is also not counterstrike or whatever fucking gamemode you want, it is about survival together. Not kill each other because you feel like it.

Minecraft started as a singleplayer survival game. The goal is to collect resources and create a base to protect yourself from Mobs, who spawn at night. The whole purpose of this making it multiplayer is so you can build a base together, and collect resources together. Not to destroy each other's base because whatever horrible reason you have.

as far as i know your base was raided on multiple occasions because you thought it'd be a good idea to build near spawn and stock your chests up with useful stuff

that whole 'survival' concept you're going on about was people nicking your shit and breaking things apart in the process to find it because they need it to survive

if you want to make a giant pretty fort with flowers and big farms and trees and pretty roses you'd be better off getting a private MC server for your personal friends only because not everybody has the same concept of MC survival as you

If I knew we were going to be so easy on raids, I would've never build near spawn.
My village was never 'raided on multiple occasions'. Part from people entering our village and leaving doors open (Making it pretty obvious that someone was there). But all that was up on the tree village were empty chests, aka nothing to steal to begin with. We store our stuff on different locations.

I create villages on MC for the looks and fun, not to build indestructible fortresses because SOME people cannot keep their hands of our stuff.
And if you feel the need to ruin someone elses fun by setting fire to their creations which doesn't gain you a single thing, then that is just a dick move. And exactly for those reasons, we will have rules against these kind of things.

The server was just launched in a rush, so it wasn't really waterproof against things like this where one doesn't really think about straight away. But this all will change in the future.

'i spent weeks building spawn city' ~ riemer
'the server was launched in a rush' ~ nicknero

great way to contradict your entire statement

So considering that killing and raiding is allowed now, can I be re-whitelisted? I was un-whitelisted for saying I was bored with the fact that there was no pvp allowed.

Also: Not to rain on everyone's parade here, but "killing for their stuff" and "not killing people who just walk by you" are going to kinda contradict here..

Also #2: There are only three rules on your "full list of rules" and the third one is that not all rules are listed on the "full list".

You were unwhitelisted and banned because you felt the need to grief a LOT of people by destroying their homes and looting chests, after being told not to do that, as well of clear evidence of using X-ray. So no, you wont be whitelisted.



Can we have this same rules regarding griefing please? Since I dont like to see my village being burned to the ground for no reason because someone felt like it...

<::[[ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Tapatalk 2 ]]::>

but i want to burn your village to the ground because i'm claiming it as my own

its worth $10 dude and if your not gonna ask anything about the deal gtfo

The only thing of value in your backpack is a Genunie AWPer hand - and that's only worth a key.

40
Which tf2 items? You haven't really posted which ones

Nothing in his backpack is even close to being worth a dollar, it wouldn't matter.

disable pvp and give everyone godmode while you're at it

anarchy servers with lenient/fair administration are the best kind of survival servers

too late for that already

This is not much different from the RDM rule on any other CG Gmod server. You dont kill people unless they somehow annoy you, or they mess with your stuff/base etc.

However, I would kind of agree that you should be able to PVP while you are out in the overworld and not at someones base. This gives people a reason to wear armor and weapons to protect themselves when they are out to collect resources etc.

Just dont kill someone while he is at anyones base to build and such.

<::[[ Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Tapatalk 2 ]]::>

and if you're raiding..?

Jack, please edit your application into an acceptable version. Due to the reasons pointed out primarily by hogs, there's no way it could be done now.

The only way for him to even gain the slightest support from me would be to completely re-write his backstory, perks, and defects. He's better off re-applying because you aren't even supposed to edit your authoriztion application, let alone revamp it.

What "complications"?

And as I remember it.. it wasnt too long ago you applied for a broken crossbow.

probably wanting the ooc item but can't equip it or anything because no ammo and he won't be getting ammo because broken

and yes he has a section of the backstory dedicated for him and keji (o7) fixing it
