[OFFICIAL SERVICE] Citizenship & Migrations Board

[FlameMan]

Please note that this thread is OUTDATED. We are currently located at CMB.ArgonathRPG.com - study materials, applications, everything is there!

City Hall

Welcome to the Citizenship and Migration Board, Citizenship and Migration Board is about giving out citizenships/passports. You can find Citizenship and Migration Board at Los Santos City Hall. Every player that wants a passport must take a test. Every test includes questions that must be answered correctly to gain a passport. To request a test, contact a Citizenship and Migration Board administrator or a game administrator who is at least level 2 (Shows up as administrators upon /admins).

Are there any requirements for the test?
Actually there aren't a lot of requirements, you must have played at least one week on Argonath SA:MP Server, also you must have studied for the test from our forums.

What can I do with the passport?
Passport is your most important document at the United States of Argonath. With a passport you can buy a house or a business, rent a room at hotels, request a driving license.

Where can I study for the test?
We had the whole set of materials published on our website, but due to some technicalities, the website was cleared.
Temporarily, to find out our requirements for the passport test - contact our in-game Staff.

Does the test cost anything?
No, Citizenships and tests are free for all. However, the testers are volunteers, so a small tip is appreciated.

Who do I contact if I want to be tested for a passport?
You should always try to contact a Citizenship and Migration board administrator first. You can check if any are online by using the command /groupmembers cmb and then contact the ones online. If none are online, you may contact an in-game administrator - use the command /admins and ask any players listed as administrator (Moderators can not do this) or manager. Note though, that it's not their job to give out passports and priority will be given to admin duty, so you may get rejected.

Documents for studying

All study materials will be provided/linked to you by our in-game Staff.

Thanks to previous Directors for making CMB what it is today:
Flameman, Tovenaarke, Chuck Norris and to everyone else who's served Argonath.

(The following is for those who are ALREADY CMB)

Anyone considering taking the position of Supervisor must get a letter of reference from two sources, these reference must be pm'd to account: "CMB".

The reference may or may not be in RP format, but must be from sources that are not CMB - so no internal references, if the person for example is from ARPD and you ask him, but he is still CMB, reference letter will not be valid.

Information that must be in the reference letter - MUST BE FILLED BY REFERRER AND SENT BY THEM.

Code: [Select]

[color=orange][b][u]Referrers details[/u][/b][/color]

[b][u]Referrers name: [/u][/b]
[u][b]The date of which the person registered on forums:[/b][/u]
[b][u]ALL groups/organizations referrer belongs to:[/u][/b]

[u][b]ALL roles / responsibilities the referrer has:[/b][/u]
[b][u]The in-game name of the referrer (any server):[/u][/b]

[color=orange][b][u]Referee & Referrer[/u][/b][/color]

[u][b]What affiliation does the referrer have with the referee?: [/b][/u]
 Example: This person worked for me for 5 years as a cleaner
[b][u]Why should the referee be considered for Supervisor position?: [/u][/b]
 Example: This person should be considered as he was a extremely hard worker.
[b][u]What is your honest personal opinion of the referee?:[/u][/b]
[b][u]Other IMPORTANT Information:[/u][/b]

Although CMB Supervisor position is entirely internal and of the leadership choice entirely, we welcome the views and opinions of our peers and community.
A reference is a great thing, but we cannot guarantee that references will lead to position.

Referees request references at there own risk, references must NOT be shown at all to the referee, the request goes from the referrer to "CMB" account directly, if we doubt it, we will look to forum moderators, or we will simply not consider it.

Done. Staff list updated after the activity check. I understand that due to some issues with Monte, we couldn't finish activity check in the old topic. If there are any people not included in this list, please forum PM me.

Soon we will open recruitment on the new rules. Wait patiently.

All Supervisors - contact me, CMB meeting incoming. We will work on stabilizing the Citizenship and Migration Board.

[TeaM-QSens]

[Tovenaarke]

Banned a member where you just could talk to? Someone who worked his ass off to keep the things rolling? A bit hars isn't it?

Not nice either. If you can't work with Flameman, work for the compagny... You are a great guy, with skills that c an be used...

Glad to see active Supervisors!

Hi there, my name changed from Ridley to Joee. As you guys can see, i am from GMT+8 whereby I am from Malaysia, also it's hard to find any administrator online at that time. So, whoever that has passed will have to wait for their passport. And they sometimes moans, how can I prevent this from happening?

It's pretty annoying that you change your name every 2 days... I would like stable people in the CMB, people who will be known to be CMB admin...

I tried to talk, trust me. For over a week I was trying to talk with Monte, but all he was doing was shitting on me. I was trying to be nice and friendly even despite this, but what he has done yesterday crossed the borders.
When he resigned, I was the one asking him plenty of times to reconsider and stay. I was trying to discuss with him every matter related to changes in CMB, but he didn't want to talk about it. He simply couldn't accept that he's not the only leader anymore... All he was doing was shouting on me, and causing problems. Going to dev and lying was below the level of maturity and cooperation.

He says that I didn't change, but that's bullshit. You dont know Curse, what I had experienced in the last year, and I won't discuss that. You completely do not know me, as you was not willing to talk with me. All you were doing was: "You did not change, you are power hungry", but why then I was coming over to you and asking your opinion about every change? Why I was asking you not to resign? Why I told you your door are always opened if you want to return?

You have to know guys, that when Monte sent me resignation - I said ok, I will accept it, but wait until tomorrow, when you will cool down. He said - "no, i resign". I accepted that, saying his door are always opened. After 10 minutes he started to say: "I want to return, but I will not work for CMB. I want to bring activity back to it". I told him, that we will talk about it tomorrow, when he will cool off, as he was really nervous. He said: "No, now i wont ever return!!". And it kinda returned twice. He kept changing his decision, and couldn't accept that I told him that we will wait till the next day and will talk about this.

He did come to me, asking why did ownership of first post change. Why? Because you had nothing in common with CMB anymore, you resigned! He went to xcasio and lied. That was the end of his existance in CMB.

Flame its not that monte was nervous or something but not everyday he gets news that the leader will get changed so he was paniced that he will get kicked or lose his rank so he resigned, fix me if i am wrong!

I didn't want to change leader, I wanted him to stay as Director of CMB.

How shoud we contact you? :3

Hi, couldn't care who lead it, as long as it was not who is leading it now, that was my main problem, I saw also stuff happening in CMB which I did not like at all, so I resigned out of protest and anger, now I'm "Calm" I'll still stick by that decision.

I just want to know why Kane_Kany is removed from a greatly deserved rank (as well as CMB Chief Admin rank being removed over all), he did nothing wrong and should not be downgraded just because he may not do an exam everyday, at-least a few a month for years (what he did) was great.

I did try to contact you, but most of the time you just turn of pm or do not reply - this is after the "we will talk about it tomorrow afternoon - perhaps a day later then that which gave rather mixed messages don't you think?

 I went to developers to help and try tell them issue I felt, I said to them in the e-mail I was not looking for anything to be done, I just really wanted to express it before I bottle up  then un-leash something silly.
If you are offended I will not take the blame for "he shit on me", talking about me as if I am vulgar guy who out to hate everyone is the real shitting on people, as it stands it's just between you and me (maybe), you did not accept my legitimate right, not as "Director", not even as "CMB" but as normal person to have a proper discussion on the matter, instead of always ignoring stuff pulling this thing like "I am founder, founder cannot be removed", did not plan to remove you, but the way it looks you planned to remove me and a few others to.

You totally showed much disrespect and lack of understanding, which I said throughout "You don't understand me", you did not even make any attempt to make better understanding.

I didn't join CMB to get a prize or to look big man, I joined and ended up accepting Director position to help out everyone, I liked being supervisor if it matters, because that's when I worked really hard and was kind of fun, but as time went on stuff got a bit serious, but I was still happy and enthusiastic until recently of course.

Yes you are founder, but you left Arognath / was way inactive, when I was made from CMB applicant to > CMB administrator to > CMB higher admin (now regarded as "Supervisor" unless it'll change) to > CMB Co-Director and then > CMB Director, you was not there but when you came back and where showing activity you where made Supervisor, then co-Director, then when you where the only Co-director you came out with the issue of "founder" , like I said you are founder but wtf was I then? I am Director, I showed respect, you left but you still where recognized as founder, made supervisor then co-director, it was a small mistake your name was not anywhere as "Founder" but everyone knew you was, it was in the previous versions of the thread, but those where of course lost multiple times and as stuff went on it was forgotten, not in malice but honest mistake.

Like I tried to explain to you, you could still rightfully reserve the status as "Founder"  but you was co-director too, did you just wait for a weak point in CMB, when 1 co-director / competition is down, some activity of some members have fallen, but who worked so well still...

I was happy to leave quietly because I would rather see CMB continue the best it could, that's why I submitted the resignation to you by PM, I gave you the choice to keep it private or put it in public eye against my wishes (I said I would not like it at all), but you still had the choice, the nerve to call me disrespectful...

You may have asked me to come back, come back, come back but you honestly knew to your self you did not want anyone to oppose / challenge - with respect, I was concerned about treatment towards CMB staff, not about Founder playing higher then Director, but also your stance as "I'm the Founder hi" was just really a joke, the hundreds, maybe almost thousands of those served by CMB did not actively seek to know who the founder is, they did not probably look twice at who the Director is, and probably took there well earned passports and grabbed a nice position for them self, which I wouldn't blame them for, that life is the life, especially in a game.

I did not go to xcasio and lie, you still didn't even say to me what I lied about, if its a lie, it's not malicious...

I told you in pm I resigned from SA-CMB, not IV-MP which I setup, not so I can say "I am founder of IVMP CMB", If I wanted to say that I'd of made it "Argonath RPG Passport Authority" or "Liberty City Passport Authority" , I knew you was active on samp and as the changes are going on there which I don't like I'll stay out, and focus on helping IV-MP which I wanted to do but been lagged behind because I'm waiting for dVD drive in the post etc, and also IV-MP was also very small and not as large as SA-MP had almost become, so I expected that to be a nicer time. I am guessing no one even knew you was looking to actively take part / had IV(MP) so this was a real concern, shared by another good person, why change thread author if I am still Director there...

 It is strange however you are happy to revert my name back to this thread http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=64419.0 with the final post "Hi Monte, you are banned." and then locked, but I don't really care what if any legacy this achieves, good or bad.

You'd be better of have asking for it to be changed to "CMB" account which I made for all Directors / Co-Directors and CMB Chief Administrators (who are mainly ex Director) to share in the work - not because I am "lazy" or w.e reason, but because I also wanted people to understand they where still valid in the CMB and trusted, and this would've been the best option.

You questioned me if I trusted you at a point some weeks ago, when I approached you regarding serious stuff a few (totally different, unrelated people ) raised, when you was still maintaining status of Co-Director, I trusted you enough to talk to you first before anything and ask what it was all about, you gave me the reply and I said ok, I did my duty as Director only, and I told you then I had to still ask, regardless.

You and your un-willingness to understand just provoked my resignation, I was about to resign from IV-MP also, but before that I decided to seek help to defuse situation from developers, one of my reasons from resigning from Director in SA was because I didn't want to see it damage or disrupt CMB at all or start a fight with you, but now I got kicked from there so, couldn't resign, I told you a day ago or so that I might as well resign from IV-MP after what you do that is so confusing.


You started off as "ok, calm down" but when I am calm you treat me like a dunce, which totally did confirm that perspective I had on you - regardless if you think it is wrong or right one, if it is I'm so sorry, but if it isn't I stick by every word.

As things went, in the early stage of you coming back I was in position of discussing along with you, Tovenaarke, Miha (in PM) later on - until recently I was being told after it is implemented, and if prior, still have no say, so what was the point to retain directorship?

I did not like the idea of removing all the supervisors to trial but felt forced to it and lots of others, although to be fair I did say I wanted tougher action on supervisors who did not bother to fill out 1 report a week and pm me it, but I was capable of handling it on my own, you did not trust me so why should I have trusted you, although I did for a while until a point,  when you returned to Argonath I didn't have a grudge after the first time when I was one week old to the server and you know what happened, I actually was happy you came back and wanted to change but then and again, don't make it out that I totally didn't trust you, your actions here did tick in a state where as passion is high and emotions are evolved a nasty combination and I suddenly felt you had not changed, and hopefully I'm not right about it.   


important:

I didn't want to bring it to be public, I may have told a few people I resigned from Director (people who are mature enough to think and consider there own evidences and are not un-reliable) , because I did not want them asking me as I knew they would, and also they are friends, but still I did not want to leave these few people in the darkness, these where people who where still important in CMB, no disrespect to anyone else.

-- For the record none of this post should be taken seriously as fact or information, it's purely my stance on the matter and people are welcome to read it.

Anyone can do good as Director, FlameMan, Tovenaarke, MihaCRO, anyone but they should still be respected by there staff, no matter what an ex Director said, and that is what I am, I am not your Director anymore, so I don't ask you or never did ask for you to defend me, but If you love me so keep to yourself, I want to leave situation as the issue does not seem to be going any where - unless you will reply to me another thing other then "WTF, why you lie to Xcasio" and  a quote proclaiming I am CMB Banned, read the pm's from a few days ago... Made before the e-mail... 

Now please If you want to talk about me / with me say to me in PM.

[Tovenaarke]

I'm a bit sad that this thing end like this 

This was not my intention
