Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:
Random Death Match (also known as RDM) is the act of killing someone without reason. This is not to be confused with assault which is illegal in the RP but not againt the rules. Reasons to kill someone are: raiding your base (lockpicking/keypad cracking), not leaving your base after a warning, following you after a number of warnings, shooting at you, have a hit on them etc. Any killing that is not provoked and doesn't have a reason behind it is RDM, this rule is here to stop you being repeatedly killed unfairly, and to make the gameplay enjoyable. An example of RDM is seeing someone that annoyed recently, walking up to them and killing them.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario:
New Life Rule or NLR is a rule made up of 2 very simple elements, 1: To not go back to the general area to which you were killed at for 3 minutes after death, and 2: to not remember how or why you died. It's actually a very simple rule but is one of the most commonly broken due to the urge we all have to run back and kill our raiders, however it must be obeyed to improve everyone's gameplay. An example of NLR would be not selling someone an item due to them raiding your shop and killing them earlier.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario:
Metagaming is quite simply talking in character in the OOC (OUT of character) chat. /advert should be used for in character things if it's something you would advertise in real life. It's very simple and not the biggest issue on the server as it's easily prooved but still an important rule none-the-less. An example of this would be saying "Drop 2k or die" in the OOC chat.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x accuses player y for RDMing him, the console log shows that player y killed player x.
I would ask for the reason player y killed played x, if he gave a reason use player x and the console to proove/disproove his response. If I cannot proove not disproove it no warning will be given, if it is prooven that it was RDM player y would recieve a warning, if it was prooven that player y did not RDM then player x would be given 1 (possibly 2 depending on the extent of it) for lying to a moderator.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x accuses player y for breaking NLR, the kills are pretty close together in console (a few lines apart) at a peak time.
I would first ask if player y would like to contend to this as it is not solid proof but very likely that NLR was broken. If he cannot contest it with a good reason then a warning will be given to player y, however if the kills were a little far apart (using common sense to decide) then it would just be a verbal warning given.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided
Very simple if handled correctly, inform player x what metagaming is over OOC (no need to tp) and give him a warning for it.

Why I should be chosen:
I have been playing Zarp for a while now and have found it to be the best DarkRP server I could find. When I find really good servers like this one I feel I should contribute to it by helping out. I have been a moderator before on a Minecraft server but chose to leave the position due to the terrible quality of admins (not like Zarp of course ). I have a good understanding of the rules and always do my best to re-read them to refresh my memory of them and update with any changes. I always do my best to help people and would love to be able to take the ridiculous strain off of the F1 reports that I have noticed recently at times. I know I'm not the oldest person to apply but I am mature enough to take on this job. I really do love this server and want to be a part of it, helping people to have a fun time and an enjoyable gameplay experience for everyone. I really hope that you choose me to be a part of this awesome group of staff on a great server. Thanks very much for reading my application and know that, if you hire me, I won't let you down. This is my 4th mod app but I do feel strongly about it, I've taken the past criticism on board, I've taken some time since my last one and hopefully you can see I've changed.

It's not really about copying and pasting.
It's about what you actually are like in-game.

Hey Phantom. Just curious as to why you wanted your previous moderator application to be taken down earlier this week if you were just going to make it again with the same layout. Anyway best of luck with your application

I wish you the best of luck but I am also confused as to why you have put this up so soon after requesting your previous one get taken down.

+ Regular playtime
+ Friendly
+ Certainly knows the rules...
- ...but has been seen breaking some of these rules
- Quite offensive to some moderators/admins

For now I'm going to stay Neutral but I certainly wish you the best of luck and I am sure that this opinion will eventually change.

Hi Lazy I took it out down in the plans to wait a week but the admins suggested I put it back on today

You don't have to write a new one.

Wow. I made wrote a new apply :'(.
anyways. You are active but still a bit rage.
Immature too.
+NEUTRAL-

I think phantom gets into arguments because he is passionate for the rule breaker to be punished for the rule he/she has just broken. Phantom has a great knowledge of the rules and he is one of the most active players I know. The only issue really is that he can be very immature.He really deserves a shot at moderator.

Thanks Beck, and I do realize that people don't take kindly to having the rules rammed down their throat. I do my best to be polite to people.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for making the effort to apply for promotion on the ZARP Semi Serious DarkRP.

As your 'yes' votes exceeded the 'no' votes you received, you have been accepted.

This batch of applications will have a training session on the following:
23/03/14 - 20:00 GMT - Server

You will ONLY be given your rank during training, and it is your responsibility to turn up on time (preferably 5 minutes early) and use the /// admin chat to notify us you need a teleport. If you can’t attend this training session, you will have to try and contact a Super Admin for training, or attend the training session for the next batch.

Also, for administrative purposes we ask that you add myself and as many members of the team as possible, just to ensure communication is available:

Congratulations on behalf of the administrative team.
