Have you ever been banned and why?: Yep, I've been banned a long time ago from NTG because of mass rdming.

Why would you like to be promoted?: I would like to be promoted because I want to fill the staff gap(when there's no staff member on the server), sometimes there are 10+ people on a server and no staff present to help resolve RDMs and other stuff, I want to be that staff member present.

Do you have any administrative experience?: No.

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes.
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application

Additional Details:

Had a few ideas for the other alignments and wanted to write them down.
Not going to give my stand on cooldowns, I'm just creating this thread for opinions.

Aries -
On activation, Quickly Generate a shield that copies your current health (aka, extra health). While you have a shield, Shooting your gun will destroy the shield. Pressing the activation key again will consume your shield and lunge you forward, bashing into an enemy will send them back flying and dealing intense damage.

In TTT, I could see this be used as a get away when being shot at for the extra shield health or when you're about to attack someone as a Traitor.
For Events the extra shield health could be your savior when your trying to run away from enemies, or when you can't dodge an attack from a boss, like Tzadkiel's balls.

Taures -
On activation, your next shot will expend your entire clip, as one big shotgun slug. Reloading time for your next clip will be halved.
I couldn't think of what to put down when it came to Taures. In Events this could be quite useful when a boss is down, and if the cooldown given was quite low, the ability can definitely add a lot more damage on a down.

Cancer -
On activation, any DoTs that proc on you will be distributed to surrounding players, and will be removed off of you. A green smoke effect will emit around you. While the ability is active, oncoming melee damage would be converted into health
Converting health on melee damage would be funny when someone is chasing you with a melee weapon. When they realize they're not doing any damage and start panicking to take a gun out instead. In TTT players can also use it beneficially by allowing others to swing at them for health.
Disabled in Events :monkas:, and we don't need all melees to be a sag sword clone.

Leo -
Positive activation - players standing close will take reduced damage.
Negative activation - players, enemies and bosses will take more damage.
A positive and negative activation like Sagittarius. the negative activation could be useful once again when a boss is down.
I would like to think of this as a charging ability rather than a cooldown. The more you use either one the percentage of energy will decrease. Toggling it off will slowly recharge the ability.

Virgo -
On activation in TTT, immediately remove all DoTs on all players, and heal 50% health on everyone. Can be used once per round.
On activation in Events, immediately revive all downed players on the map, and heal 50% health on living players. Can be used once.
Using it will notify the entire server.
This would be used more often in events (especially for IoD). When the situation is dire, Virgo can be used to possibly bounce back the run.

Libra -
On activation, Balance all of your stats on the extinct and turn them positive.
A simple alignment. Could have a lot of interesting stats on certain guns.

Scorpio -
On death while the ability is activated, revive yourself on where you died, or revive yourself on down. While the ability is activated, increased DoT procs.
This one is more focused on Events again.

Capricorn -
On activation, sense sprite trails on players. Killing a player will increase your max health for the round, as well as heal you. oncoming damage will be reduced, some of it converting into stats like damage, reload, accuracy etc. When the ability is over, stats will be reduced to normal, but max health will remain the same.
Could be used for finding the last innocents alive as a Traitor, or easily dominate over players by getting a couple kills, regenerating to your new max health, and fighting again.
This can be used in Events by risking some damage for increased stats.

Thank you for reading. Some of these might be more or less overpowered, but if people have suggestions for them they can post their own ideas.

Hello and Good Morning,

I came up with this idea while sleeping.


Today I bring you the concept of :

The Briefcase

Stats will include:
+ High Damage
- Low Mobility
+ High Range
- Low Fire-rate

(Pushback will be high)

Some concepts that the melee can do:

- Briefcase will create paper trail and/or paper particle effect upon hitting a player
- You can customize color of briefcase material
- Possibly put decals on it, (Client-side only maybe?) thus we can add decals to the server



Decals can be put on weapons for customization
Decals can be user submitted

So I had 1 1/2 ideas, lol

Thank you for reading, have a good day.

Not sure if there is a plan for them after the new system is added, but I think they should be made into a Monthly crate, that rolls between all the 12 monthlies and gives a random one, similar to the flashback crate.

With how much people enjoy the items and how many get decon'd for crafting, I think it is not a good idea to have them completely taken out of the drop pool.

The crate would be rarer than a normal monthly, and giving a random one would make it so that the more sought after monthlies can stay valuable.

Im sure most people will disagree with this because eventually it MIGHT devalue their current monthlies, maybe when added give all the current monthlies out a special name or something to show they dropped through the original system, similar to the exotic versions of flashback guns

Where did you hear about this server?: NTG, quite a few years ago.

Have you ever been banned and why?: I've been banned a few times, nothing for serious reasons just gags and name changes mid round because I forget about the 1 minute ban for that.

Why do you want to join?: I've been playing a bit more as of late, I've been enjoying myself for the most part and I try to help when I can when I'm on. I think I've got a good enough rep on the server to apply for member so I might as well give it a shot again. PICTURE PERMS

Additional Details: I've been a community member on FRG for quite a few years now, I've loved the server for the
years I've been playing and I think it's pretty great that it's still thriving. Some of the community is great and I'd say I get along pretty well with most people despite the gags and jokes.
P.S. 1, Sorry Mousey
P.S. 2, im gay tbh
P.S. 3, Unpoke's kinda stinky

The gun sounds and looks AMAZING, but in retrospect its total garbage. Very slow rate of fire, about half that of a default pistol I think, with only 75 damage headshots (Around the same as a pistol) and 30 damage bodyshots. So it takes 4 shots to the chest to kill, but it shoots slower than a deagle and has less damage.

Its cool to use just because of what it is, but man its a really dogshit weapon and I'd like to see it be viable. I'm not sure how, but the base model of the gun could definitely shoot a lot faster, and maybe bump the damage up a bit so it 3-shot body shots (40 damage to chest?)

p.s it does like 17 to leg/arm which is so low

Where did you hear about this server?: From a Friend,( He dosent play anymore but his name was Big Brain Syndrome )

Have you ever been banned and why?: No i have never been banned,( except name change in game )

Why do you want to join?: The reason I want to join is that I love this server. Ever since I quit Moat like 2-3 years ago, I spent so much time on that server that it was really boring to play anything else. I found this server and instantly feel in love. Even though I have been burnt out in the past and ventured into different servers, Every time I come back it feels like the server feels new again by how much fun I have. The Server is improving quickly and I wish that the server one day can be as big as what Moat is but without the toxic 11 year olds screaming into their mic. I feel like I can contribute to this server and I think I can help the server reach that point by guiding new players

Things seem pretty split on if the Ruby shrine were to exist. On one side I get flak for it ever existing, on the other side I get flak for it being removed.

I say we use this thread to debate it's existence, so we can have the info and points people bring up all in one place.


First off, to answer the question: Is it pay2win?

Yes it is to an extent, but It's on the same levels of pay2win as any other donator perks we have. We NEED donator perks to survive. It's a simple fact. And the shrine Is just a lot more exciting overall compared to the other donator options, it's high risk high reward, and people see godlikes come from it and freak out.

However, consider:

• Things you get from it aren't really any better than things F2P players can get. Especially when factoring crafting, and how 6 trait stacked prims will most likely be better than anything you get from the shrine at this point.
• On a ruby spent to 'good' item ratio, it's around the same as crates, but way more extreme at times.
• Donators can buy ruby crates for cheap, and spend a long time rolling and rolling, and eventually get a godlike that way. Probably spending the same amount, if not less, than the amount they'd spend on shrine to proc an item (not even guaranteed to be a godlike).
• They can buy runes, and sell them on the market for guaranteed coins over a longer period of time. That is guaranteed to make them profit, much more profit than shrine or any crates would most likely bring them for ruby to coin ratios.
  

First of all, Terran is a poopy head.

We all know nobody actually uses extincts a lot due to their constellation effects being mediocre besides Sagittarius.

By nerfing sag, it'll just end up with no one using it at all. Instead, what we should do is buff the other ones so they can actually be viable.

Now you might be asking, Voxl u fat gae y not just turn sag like aries make it so u hav 2 swap guns 2 get buf??

Have you guys actually tried to use Wicked/Aries? Shit's so much of a chore I'd rather just use another weapon over them. Nobody has the time to swap weapons and swap back mid gunfight to get the buffs.

Aquarius: Land swimming is now permanent. Water cube is removed for better visibility. Mobility buff is removed.

Pisces: Water gush no longer deals damage to the user but still pushes them around and has a lower cooldown. Water walking gives increased mobility. After recently being water gushed, the user will take significantly reduced fall damage until they hit the ground.

Gemini: Actually the only constellation besides sag that I feel is in a pretty good spot. Channeling the activation key for 2-3 seconds while the clone is active will swap you and the clone's location. (Channeling will make allow it to be a good tool to confuse people while not making it a get out of jail free card.)

Aries: The defensive part of the buffs becomes permanent (slow and proc resist), headshot damage and clip buff is kept as it is.
