BGgames,

I think the community can agree with me when I say that you're a keystone regular on the server and I admire how approachable you are with everyone. You know how to have a good laugh and not take the game too seriously.

Even though you can get on my nerves from time to time, I know you mean well. I want to offer valid criticism because I know you have the potential to grow.

1. The RDMing/rule breaking stuff: I am guilty of RDMing friends on the server occasionally, but it gets annoying to be on the receiving end way more often. You've been better recently, but you moved on to Tbaiting and shooting next to people. Again, it's fine sparingly, but it seems like nearly every time you get the innocent role you feel the need to place a crosshair on someone and agitate them. I often hear you tell people "you should know better you are staff/donor/etc." while you do the same thing. I get it's all jokes, but it's just way too often. Just play the game man! If you're bored, take a break.
   
2. General knowledge of rules and game mechanics: Many months ago you killed me for falling off Crummy Cradle and landing on a sloped edge because you thought it was iron boots. A month or so ago you killed me for shotgun jumping onto a lamp on Casino because you thought I grapple hooked up there. On that same map you killed me for standing on the windowsill because I was "exploiting". These are just a few examples, but I can think back to a dozen scenarios with you where I'm facepalming thinking "okay, if you're going to staff a TTT server you should DEFINITELY know this". This comes with time, but I don't think you should be making a lot of the calls you're making if you don't have much experience with gmod or the source engine in general.
   
3. Responsiveness: If you're too stoned, play on an alt or just at least communicate with people that are reporting things to you when on the server. A few days ago, a group of 3-4 hackers were on the server and it was just you and a Trusted. I let you know about the hackers and gave up a map's worth of rounds gathering clips. You didn't attempt to try to watch them as you were playing out most of your rounds partially afk in the detective room on Eclipse. The group started saying weird shit in chat, which you eventually responded to, but man it just felt so slow for an easy obvious troll group disrupting the entire server for a map or two. When someone you trust reports something like this in admin chat, take the initiative, watch them, 0 karma ban all four people, post to the staff chat for permas, bam, done. This also ties with #2 above because I think staff should have some sort of spidey-sense when a hacker is on, but it doesn't seem to catch your attention as quickly as most.
   
4. Behavior: I'm NOT trying to shit on your personality or your quirks in general. But man, it's HARD to tell when you're serious sometimes, especially when you joke report a lot for things and use the same exact tone when you're actually slaying someone. If I ever give you pushback for anything, you will tell me you're just kidding around. I almost feel trapped sometimes because I'm not sure if your report was all jokes or if I'm about to be banned for warn-threshold because of an RDM and leave. Also, last week, you damaged my health station to 1hp and then reported me for killing you for it. At that time, I didn't know there was a rule (an awful one btw) that allows innocents to damage the health station as much as they want without destroying it. However, to have a staff member borderline Tbait, report someone, and then use that opportunity to errm actually me in voice chat was a bit irritating. 
   

Again, I know you mean well for the server and I hope you don't feel jaded if you don't get the promotion, I just think there's stuff you could work on. Fortunately, most of this can be fixed with time, experience, and not being afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure about something.

Good luck!
