Introduction
Good day! I would appreciate if you would read my application thouroughly before expressing your opinion. I am hoping to be able to contribute widely to ZARP![/align:2w0541i5]

Rate your english from 1/10 scale.
10.

Have you ever been administrator/moderator on any other communities? Own servers excluded.
I was a dedicated moderator at the previous ZARP, where I was eventually promoted to Admin and just before its demise, suggested for Super Admin at a meeting. At this version of ZARP, some of my in-depth documentation may still exist in the Staff Forum today.

From there, I joined the CCGaming community. For my community effort, I was promoted to Super Admin as well as leading the JailBreak server.

With my experience, I believe I entail appropriate leadership qualities as well as the skills to work effectively in a team.

What is your current rank?
User.

[hr:2w0541i5][/hr:2w0541i5]



Define NLR
NLR (New Life Rule) is an RP specific rule where one must cease to remember the context of their death, as well as being restricted from returning to the vicinity of their death for a set period (at ZARP, this is currently: 3 minutes)

An example violation of NLR:
Define RDM
RDM (Random DeathMatch) is where someone opens fire on another without a valid RP reason.

An example of RDM:
Define Metagaming
Metagaming is the distribution of in character information through out of character means (giving those involved an advantage over the victim(s))

An example of metagaming:

This section has a sense of ambiguity. I'm going to state it in the context of the example given, just to clarify the action. Both questions also have responses with two justified actions (I would sanction them based on my prior knowledge of their behavior.)

What would you do if a player breaks NLR?

Scenario
If I wasn't acknowledged of previous infringements of the RP rules, I would most likely issue a warning (given that the warning system still exists) as well as slaying the user to ensure that they are not intruding upon the victim's raid any further. If there was not a high demand for assistance, I would probably also spectate the player just to ensure that they did not disregard the actions taken.

If I was aware of previous negative experiences with the accused, I would probably go for either a kick or temporary ban on the accused, because they are evidently not learning from prior mistakes. I would have to take measures to ensure that the victim's raid would not be negatively ensued by the resulting punishment.

What would you do if a player RDMs?

Scenario
If I wasn't acknowledged of previous infringements of the RP rules, I would issue a warning to the player and potentially bring the victim to discuss if there was dispute. If there was not a high demand for assistance, I would probably also spectate the player just to ensure that they did not disregard the actions taken.

If I was aware of previous negative experiences with the accused, I would actuate a punishment depending on the scale of the RDM. If they have evidently just went on a random spree - they would have a much harsher verdict. If they had RDMed a single person, they would be treated as above, but with the potential for further discipline.

Do you have a microphone?
Yes.

Can you be online atleast three/four days a week for atleast a few hours those days?
I am a generally active Garry's Mod player. I am currently in summer vacation from my school which lasts until the beginning of September. My primary goal is to be able to moderate ZARP effectively and efficiently, and I would do so with insatiable activity.

Are you 14 or higher?
Yes. My date of birth is: 09/04/1999

If you don't follow the rules yourself you will get demoted and banned if needed you understand, you will dedicate to a training program and have answered each questions personally. Copied applications will be denied at once. Do you understand?
Yes.

Will you respect all players in both respect as disrespectful behaviour?
I am not a biased individual. I remain level headed at all times whilst mitigating against even the toughest of community members - ensuring that my priority would always remain that a fair and justified verdict is reached. Whilst dealing with a situation, I would by no means disrespect the player - regardless of if the patience and willingness to listen is mutual.

[hr:2w0541i5][/hr:2w0541i5]



What is your added value to the community apart from taking care of grievers?
As well as being proactive and patient, I am an individual that has care for the playerbase and community exceeding the desire to play the game. I enjoy the satisfaction of helping others, regardless of if my help is appreciated or not. I am experienced in leadership, as proven at an earlier mentioning of my credentials earlier. I benefit by portraying myself as a mature individual in the public; displaying excellent grammar with consistency. I go beyond my expected duties: as I believe I have mentioned earlier, I had created in-depth strategies with the purpose and intention of creating an even better faculty - this proves that I am able to create useful and professional documentation when requested, which could be useful for rules, etc.

To clarify: It's not my intention to actually 'RP' too much. I'm out there to support the community with their issues and separate those who decide to ruin the experience for others. At the previous ZARP, I spent most of my life on the RP server, and most of my time on the RP server as an admin/mod on duty!

Have you had enough community bonding so far? Like what?
As much as I haven't really linked into the community so far, I am quite an open person that would develop this bonding extremely quickly. I find enjoyment when engaging in community based entities such as the forums, as well as discussions in the OOC chat.

Some may recall me from the previous ZARP, as well as CCG. If so: they are likely to remember me as a substantially mature person and a good impression on the communities I volunteered for.

What do you expect from your mentor/training?
I would expect to learn how the current team respond to situations, helping to better my own strategies and keep them consistent with disciplinary actions issued by others. As well as this, I hope to become more aware of the differences between this rendition of ZARP and the previous one. I recall the previous status quo from the old ZARP - and I understand and are prepared for changes of any magnitude.

This section helps you to understand a little bit more about me.

Now, I'm going to provide some information about myself. Of course it doesn't pertain directly to gaming – but I believe getting to know me a little better will make you consider profoundly to providing your support.

Education
I will be entering the academic year 10 (UK) as of september, where I will study the following subjects:

• Geography
• French
• Engineering
• ICT

Experience with online communities
As far as communities go, I have vast experience in this area. I, as a friendly, level headed person, enjoy working with other people; including assisting them.

As well as piloting the community management of several ‘POST 2 HOST' services in the past, I have worked with PR, HR and community relationships at MineBook since March last year. Not to mention that I have provided over a year of dedication as a moderator at a [url=http://swaggercraft.com:2w0541i5]MineCraft factions server[/url].

Personality
I'm generally a friendly person, which I believe contributes to gaining respect in a community. I strongly disagree with those who don't stick to documentation (such as rules) – so I'll always work to combat against that in a calm manner, whilst making the attempt to actuate people to correct their behavior.

[hr:2w0541i5][/hr:2w0541i5]



I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read my application. Your support would be appreciated, but should you decide not to provide me with said support at this time - I would appreciate an adequate justification so that I can improve my standards in the future.

Thank you!

2 hours is not enough to bond with the community.

I think you mean owning the jailbreak server

So, your logic appears to be:
The candidate has included images in his application: I will not read the application to find if it is detailed or not.

The difference being?

+Support, we know the hours are short but the effort put the application is impressive; and hes a decent player in-game!

He didn't own the jailbreak server as it was part of CC, he was head admin/super admin.

Christopher I believe verse has read your application but means that the detail of the application doesn't change his opinion.

Also leading a server is somewhat different to Owning, Leading could mean that you have earn't that position as owning is simply paying for the server however still crucial and very important.

I don't know you so I aren't going to give my opinion. 2 hours doesn't seam a lot. People believed my 15 hours wasn't either.

NEUTRAL
I love you Chris, I do. But you have to get in-game more.
Other than that, I know that you are brilliant at moderating.
And you do deserve the 10/10 in English as it is excellent; get in-game more to earn my +

EDIT: You seem to have gotten in-game more and this application is very detailed and well written.

+Support!

The server in question was part of a community I did not own. I merely funded a couple of the services, such as Teamspeak and Jailbreak.

As much as I can not comprehend why he would point out the attention to the layout as being an issue,

As the others said, I dont find 2 hours enough.

No he bought and paid for the server, but it was absorbed into CC

I'd have to say the application is good, well brilliant.
But the hours are short, I think you should play more and know the new players etc.
But the chances are before this is going to get denied, you would've played more, and gotten around 10-20 hours, or more.
So it would be possible to get accepted then, if the rest change their mind.

Very trust worthy person definitely mod material

I'd give you a +support but you need more in-game time in the new ZARP, quite a bit has changed.
