Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Explanation: Random Death Match is a rule which is in place to stop players killing others without a legitimate roleplay reason like a police officer attempting to arrest you while you flee from committing a horrid crime. When someone does kill another player without a roleplay reason it is then Random Death Match. If a player did not intentionally mean to Random Death Match for example he shoots a low health player while trying to carry out a hit then it would result in a verbal warning and not an actual warning to his name, however if a player did intentionally break the Random Death Match rule then he would gain himself a warning.
Example Scenario: If "User 1" came up to "User2" and called him a "Ugly Duckling" and "User2" was to shoot him it would then be classed as Random Death Match as in real life you would not kill someone for simply calling you an "Ugly Duckling" however if the insult is much worse then of course you could screen shot it and report it to an admin/moderator using the F1 report system as it can be classed as disrespect and/or racism depending on what the message contained.
Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
Explanation: New Life Rule is an easy rule to understand but can easily be forgotten about or broken, well not really if you can see that red timer above your head. Anyway, New Life Rule is when a player returns to the area he previously died at before the timer runs out and/or remembers things from his past life. If you are Randomly Death Matched and an admin has issued a warning to the rule breaker then sure you can return to your death spot without any hassle.
Example Scenario: "User1" is a police officer and tries to arrest "User2" but is killed during the process. If he then returns to his death area before his timer runs out to arrest that pesky "User1" then he is breaking NLR.
A similar example is if "User1" finds "User2" growing some illegal drugs but dies in his attempt to raid, if he then goes back to his fellow police officers and tells them he knows a good base to raid then he is either breaking New Life Rule or has suddenly become a psychic (Probably breaking New Life Rule)
Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Explanation: Metagaming is a rule put in place mainly to stop any information being trafficked from an out of character source to vantage a player in character. This includes any third party communication applet such as Skype, TeamSpeak, Steam Chat and other various source. This can be avoided by going to your fellow police/thieves/gangster or whoever you need to speak to and actually using the in-game voice or chat feature.
Example Scenario: "User1" uses the /OOC chat to tell his fellow gangsters that he has "found a base to raid at <Insert Location>" it is then classed as metagaming and he would be given a warning/verbal warning depending on if the player is a known rule breaker or has broken any rules prior to metagaming, depending on the admin/moderator that is.
Less noticeable example is if "User1" was to tell his friends over skype where the base is without actually being near them but that is not an easy task to manage and probably would slip through the cracks
Why I should be chosen (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words).
I am applying for this moderator position because I feel I am a helpful player in the community and have a good experience of the rules and think that I am a positive player in-game and on the forums. I offer a massive amount of dedication to the ZARP gaming community and have had many brilliant experiences in-game and usually have a laugh on the TeamSpeak with a few of the classic guys on there. I don't feel I am completely familiar with the moderator/administrator tools but I know that it wouldn't take me any time to get to grips with them and put them to a good use. I have a good sense of morality and don't take sides with any of the players in the server and would judge only based on evidence, my sense of judgement and what has actually taken place which is why I am a non bias player and would only follow the rules when dealing with situations.
