Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario: Random Death Matching. The most bannable phrase used in modern Dark RP. When people can't be bothered giving that simple bit of RP to role play a situation without blasting them in the head. Everything you do in Dark RP is roleplay, and should be roleplayed. Holding down your mouse button and hoping it all to go well NEVER happens. EX: Someone who hasn't read the rules may find the AUG in the Weapon Dealership to have alot of recoil and wonder how many he can kill with it at spawn. He is mistaken as that is RDM.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario: The New Life Rule is more commonly know as breaking NLR. Basically if you die, you have to wait on average 3 minutes before returning to that location. It makes sense as you are dead and shouldn't really know where that location is. EX: Godfather breaks into Gundealers business, he kills gundealer and in rage gundealer comes back to kill Godfather, he breaks NLR and is punished for breaking that rule.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario: Meta Gaming is one rule which every new player won't even realise exists. In terms of basic reputation, if you speak about the game or about your Roleplay character 'IN CHARACTER; that is fine, but if you continue the conversation 'OUT OF CHARACTER' (OOC) then you are metagaming. New players should be reminded that they should use /advert to speak their IN CHARACTER opinions and use /OOC when discussing terms like RDM or NLR.

Extra Info: I am a keen Roleplayer and usually play alot of the Arma 2 /3 RP games. I have stuck by Garys mod for about 2 years making sure not to forget Dark RP. I had taken a break to complete my A-Levels, and found ZARP when i returned.. Currently i am a Student and Part Time Sale Assistant and try to RP game as much as possible.

My friends called me the counsellor as i know what to say in all situations and always sort out the unfriendly problems. I always listen to both sides and if i don't witness something myself will gather the evidence required to push on the correct decision. I <3 Roleplay


Reason: I would like to be a Moderator for many reasons, but the main are explained below:

I love to RP every role, not just the extra fun ones. This means that admins are situated within the game and are playing roles that aren't usually situated by admins thus allowing everyone to have fun. I like ZARP and their logic on RP and would like to favour that so that more players are experiencing high maturity and real roleplay. I would also love to give some admins a break. As laying back and enjoying a solid case of Roleplay while not needing to respond to calls is always required. I would also like to help the recent players know that this server is one to stay with and not leave because of low maturity or silly decisions.

I have been a moderator for a few servers in the past few years, but i can only remember the name of one as it was my last. Accro Gaming (orginal) had many of the Garrys mod Players on it. This is a server that is quite like ZARP today, but sadly through the course of its life moderators and Admins became power hungry and when they didn't like something they best destroyed the server and then left. This happened in several occasions until players left and never came back. I can see today that the new Accro still struggle to get players as its old credit is holding it back.

I really enjoyed keeping the peace on that server as there is nothing worse that playing without any kind of staff and after a while you think its Call of Gmod (Do not make a new gamemode, this is my idea. £100 to become yours) Anyways, if there can be any relief I can take some of the work load of the strained job of Admins and Mods have to do at the moment. I find it unneccessary for all Mods and Admins to be on Duty all the time and/or answering requests as we are all here for roleplay.

• Fine basic knowledge of the rules,
• a great age for a mod,
• took time for the application.

+/-

• Probably requires a mentor.

-

• Almost never see you in-game,
• low playtime,
• no information about your past mod experience.

TIPS:

• Might want to relook at your post layout make it more attractive to read,
• Write down your previous mod experience even if you don't have it,
• Take up some more in-game hours.

Thanks Guys, but was hoping this all would be done previously so it would be spoken about in yesterdays meeting. Ilumm I have played on multiple occasions with you and been in quite alot of situations so you might just have been looking at the right time.

I will update my application talking about some of the other occasions i was moderator.

Many thanks and have a Nice Christmas

If we did have a meeting yesterday it would have been discussed. As many of us are busy over the holidays we did not have a meeting this week. I can see your concern though, sorry for any delay.

Thats fine. I had just aimed to be Moderator by Christmas Day as there will be an increased amount of traffic with everyone getting new computers and the steam sale etc

One question.

Wouldn't that be advert abuse? /advert should only be used for business or hostage situastions etc.

Correct. However, that is if you are abusing it.

It depends how you use your advert. You can abuse it, or you can advertise it. In my opinion, Using an advert in the game is a lot better than, conversing ingame roleplay out of character.

Using Advert as a form of 1 to 1 chat I would consider advert abuse.

But it depend on what the situation aspires to.

Good to see the server is back up and running again, was a long few days

Just hoping that after along few weeks that my application may be considered in todays meeting?

What we liked

VERDICT: ACCEPTED
