SSRP 1 Server playtime: 67.6 hours - www.gametracker.com/player/Sean3612/94.23.19.200:27015/
SSRP 2 Server playtime: 3.37 hours - this used to be the original server I played on before ZARP changed, I would have had near enough 200 hours before. - www.gametracker.com/player/Sean3612/94.23.19.200:27025/

Age: 16
Estimated Server Time: around 70 hours since ZARP changed.
Languages I Speak: English, some Swedish and some Spanish.

1. Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:
.Random Death Match/RDM is when a player damages or kills another player without a valid RP reason, a scenario would be a player minding their own business, only to be shot by another player without reason.

2. Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
The New Life Rule/NLR means when you die, you must forget everything in your previous life for 3 solid minutes, you must not go back the the same district for those 3 minutes. A scenario would be a thief raiding, shooting and killing the inhabitant. The player that has been killed is not allowed to return to that same district for another 3 minutes, until their NLR is over.

3. Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
.Metagaming is using the OOC/out of character chat function to talk to another player whilst still in character, for example a player writes an advert and another player responds to it in the OOC chat instead of PMing the player. It can also be used in terms of seeing tags poking out through walls, something that would not happen in real life.

4. 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.
There's not much that can be done in this situation, unless there is solid proof of RDM, for all I know, player x could have started RDMing player y and got killed, I would have to get them to go over their story but without proof, not much can be done. I would ask the player to tell me if the other player does it again, and try to get evidence.

5. 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.
.Since the evidence is there in the console, I would have to warn player y for breaking NLR and tell the player not to do it again.

6. Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided:
Player x is metagaming, and banks are allowed to be raided, just not by the police. I would have to warn the player with metagaming as it is strictly not allowed.

Why I should be chosen?
I play Garry's Mod frequently, and when I do play Garry's Mod I go on ZARP DarkRP, because I play so often I believe I will be a useful asset. An extra moderator is always a good thing, right? I enjoy playing on this server and it is in my opinion, the best server for DarkRP, but I do believe it would be an even better place to play if there were more moderators and less rule breakers, wouldn't you agree? I will also like to give players justice, nobody like playing with cheaters or rule breakers, so to extinguish them would be great, sometimes I play on the server late at night and there are no moderators or admins online - this lures rule breakers in, it's often at these times people with break the rules because they think they can get away with it, and not everyone records or screenshots whilst they play so justice can not always be done. I think I will do well at being a moderator, just let me have a chance to prove myself. If I was a moderator, I would try my best to see both sides of any story given, unless evidence is provided. I understand how it feels to be on the other side of a rule breaker, only to have no justice done, so I will try my best to get down to the bottom of it. After all, it's what a moderator is supposed to do.

Just a bump for some more feedback.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for making the effort to apply for a rank on the ZARP Semi Serious DarkRP. Your application has been discussed at an administrative meeting, and from there it has been voted on.


Unfortunately as more staff members voted 'no' than 'yes', the application has been denied.

However, the meeting host has taken some criticisms made by the admins and provided you with this feedback:

You are welcome to apply again at any point.
