Duke Nukem

Thanks Soph, for your truly unbiased comment. Out of everyone here until now, you are actually the only one that has seen me act in game, as you are often online when I am. I appreciate your constructive stance and I definitely will implement your useful suggestions.

I wrote my answer just to really "clear the mess" and explain myself, in hope of getting some understanding in return. I'm glad that there seem to be no other grievances other than the ones I've came clean about ..

Then there must be another ZR player with the name Giovanni and a special skin Only saw him appear twice, a bit more than a month ago. Since then I haven't seen him. But it's all good. Yeah I apologized for my !calladmin use, as I said, I didn't know.... thought it was some kind of /report like they had in SAMP, where the admins active on the server at the time would get notified. And I take full responsibility for my ignorance at first. In my mind, there was a reason that a distinction was being made between different admin levels, and I assumed that I could use any command that I had access to, as long as I would not abuse them. Abuse as in...doing stuff to harm other players' gameplay, use it to my own advantage, etc ..

It's interesting to me how you stay vague about what exactly it is that bothers you. Is it that I tried out my 'bought privileges' the first day I was testing them? and how the commands work? (I teleported myself once to another player as a zombie, did not infect anyone, just jumped around in joy having seen the command work, and I slayed myself too once, to try it). I got warned for that, which I find kind of surprising, as I had to find out the admin rules myself, and nothing was explained to me when I paid for the 'privileges'. So when it comes to paying for admin there is no limit, but if use the commands for things that in my view were not abuse, I get warned and frowned upon. Okay, I do understand I probably had to take a little more initiative and thoroughly scan the forums for what I can and can't use, and honestly, I still don't know if I can even use a command to beacon another player lol... still didn't find any information regarding the use of commands like tp/beacon/ ... The 'calladmin: noob' that I typed was just a test. First I typed !admins to see if anyone is online, I saw no one was and then typed !calladmin to see if I would get any special text in chat, highlighting my comment. I didn't even know that !calladmin will call an admin outside of the server. In this instance the 'noob' perfectly fits myself. If you have any grievances for the rest that I do not know of, please let me know. As far as I know I didn't do anything 'bad'. When it comes to making mistakes..I guess everyone makes them. For instance; I remember one of the first days that I came back to this server, about a month+ ago, the map was skyscrapers (or something like that) and I was placing props closing the entrance to the cage. Someone was autosniping my props. It was Giovanni with some kind of troll skin or a pig nosed character, which I remember very clearly. I asked him to stop and he didn't. I don't know if it's the same guy as the admin here above, giving me a -1, I hope not. But if it was you, Giovanni, then you're the last one to judge me on minor mistakes I made the last period. I still had a noob skin and the guy probably just felt that I was powerless, and he was right at the time. Having said that, I respect your opinions if they really are as unbiased as claimed. I'm looking forward to more detailed information about what I did wrong, as I am always looking to better my judgement. I am still motivated to contribute as an admin, as I still think that there are enough instances where intervention is absent when needed.

Required: Ingame Nickname: Duke Nukem Discord username: lgrigory Age: 31 SteamID: 76561198029020764 What server are you applying for (ZR or ZE server?): ZR Optional: (Feel free to answer one or more questions) Why are you interested in applying for admin? After trying the Donated Admin for one month I decided to apply for this position for several reasons. First of all, I really like the server and would like it to run for another 30 years if possible. Seeing that this server already exists for so long (yes, I have already played here more than 13 years ago, can't believe it myself), that seems pretty doable to me! Second, I think I'm mature enough to make a distinction between trolling players/griefers/ruiners and I know when and how to act accordingly. I promise to always check the rules first before exercising my admin powers, and I would definitely never abuse my powers to bully a player. Lastly, I think the server too would profit from another (more serious) admin, as I've been online a lot lately and I can tell that a lot of action had to be taken in this short but intense period. What time zone are you active in (NA or EU hours)? EU (Belgium) How long have you been playing on the server which you applied for? As I already indicated, I think I played on this server when I was about 15-17 years old. That's a looong time ago (heh). Of course, I haven't played all that time in between, but I've been playing a lot these last two months. Usually in the evening. How experienced are you in the gamemode for which you applied? I do have some experience, I know all the basic rules and dynamics. Don't ask me to bhop like some players do though, that's too much for me Do you have any past admin experience? I used to have a SAMP (San Andreas Multiplayer) roleplay server, and on it's peak I had around 50 daily players. That's where I got a lot of experience with running a roleplay server. Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc) Yes, when I had the SAMP server I was the administrator and the main mapper for that server. I don't have any mapping XP on CSS servers though. When it comes to video editing, I had a dropshipping project where I used DaVinci Resolve and Capcut to edit video's. I also have experience with StableDiffusionUI, ComfyUI and other AI video and image editing software. Thanks for considering my application!

Thanks!

Hmm the link doesn't seem to work for me, I found NIDE manually via discord, how do I find the channel?

Okay you got me Thanks!

Hello there! Just wanted to ask if it's possible to change up the sounds a bit, namely the ones being played when a certain amount of kills have been made by a player, oh and the one when the map changes That would be cool! Also, now that there is a Duke Nukem once again playing on the server (I returned after 10+ years....), it would be more than amazing if you could add some..you know.. "Blow it out your ass!" or "Come get some!" quotes to play via NIDE. Here, have some examples from this legendary vid: I can provide the sounds if needed! I have all the funny ones. Love the server and much appreciated Duke -BallsOfSteel
