DARK RP RELATED
Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Random Death Match (RDM) is where a player kills another player without any valid Roleplaying reason. Valid reasons include being raided, robbed, ect. An example of this could be for instance player A is building a shop whilst player B wonders into player A's building area. So player A kills player B. This is known as RDM. However many cases where Random Death Match is called, it's not actually RDM. For example, player A (Citizen) is running along the street. Player B has a job that allows mugging. Player B shouts, "Give me $2,000 or I will kill you!" Player A fails to meet Player B's demands. So player B then kills them.
Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
New life rule is what occurs when a player dies and respawns. They begin a new life and so they forget everything from their past life. For example losing all memories of their past experiences. They are not able to return to their previous location without waiting at least 3 minutes. The NLR is enforced in ZARP Dark RP as it keeps the flow of the server on a Roleplaying level. An example scenario of this would be where a player who is defending against a raid is killed. They then cannot return to their previous location until the NLR timer expires. However if a player was RDM'd, that player will have to request an admin or moderator using the F1 command. They then must keep their distance to allow an admin or moderator to deal with the accused.
Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Metagaming is where a player uses OOC (out of character) to contact another player and provide them with in game knowledge such as a raid in which they are unaware of. An example scenario of this would be that a players shop is being robbed and there is no protection close by. That player would then use OOC to call for assistance from other players (possibly friends) around the map that are unaware of the robbery.
Why I should be chosen (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
I should be chosen for the chance to be a Moderator as I'm a very active person that offers support to other players and staff in the best way I can. I'm a very enthusiastic player that enjoys the ZARP Gaming community. I desire to be a part of the friendly staff that ZARP offers and I know that I would exceed all expectations that others have of me. I am a very mature and friendly person that has a lot of spare time to offer towards the server. I strongly believe that I am perfect to be staff at ZARP Gaming as I am a very welcoming, reliable and responsible person. I understand that being a Moderator can be extremely stressful at times, but I am fully prepared for any situation that may come my way, by remaining calm, friendly and reasonable at all times. I know that if I was given the chance to be staff I wouldn't let anyone down for one second. I will remain advisable and fair at all times whilst ensuring justice has been achieved and checking that both sides to each argument are resolved. I will keep a watchful eye over the server if no other staff were to be online. I would sustain order by making sure that rules are followed and players are content. I would offer support to any Moderators or Admins that need assistance whilst they're on duty. Over the past few weeks I have allowed my passion for ZARP Gaming to grow, and now I feel that it's time to start getting involved by giving back to the community and helping make the server more enjoyable and friendly for everyone, such as both new and returning players. I strongly hope you consider me to be a Moderator, I would do you proud. Thank you for reading my application, I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully, Kieran.
