1.Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Random Death Match (RDM) is killing a player without valid reason.
Scenario: Player a s at mining area, mining.. Player y comes, takes out shotgun and killes him without reason.
That's RDM.. Killing without reason.

2.Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
New Life Rule (NLR) is a rule when you die, you can't come back to location where you died for 3 minutes. If that location is like spawn, you can come there, but you mustn't kill your killer/raid bases for 3 minutes.. Players who have problems watching time on ZARP server have timer at top of the screen. here's a scenario :
Player x is a miner and he got killed at mining area by player y because he mugged him and he didn't want to give money. Player x starts to rage and switches job to gangster, comes instantly to mining area, takes shotgun and kills player y.

He broke NLR in way he came back at the place he died + killed a player who killed him before.

3.Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Metagaming (MG) is writing IC (In character) informations in OOC (out of characters) chat or OOC in IC.
Scenario: Player xs base is getting raided. He yells in ooc chat ( // )x: I am getting raided, HELPP!

OOC chat in IC chat isn't that much warnable in game, but Metagaming can also occur on forums.. Player x makes an topic for police only: x: We will raid all bases tomorrow at 2 PM.
Player y sees that and writes a post: y: lololol thx for letting us know we will not base tomorrow.

•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 don't know all the commands but I will give my best. I would bring player x and player y to some roof and ask player y why and when did he kill player x. When he finishes explaining I would ask player x the same and why he thinks that was rdm.
When they're done I would make decision and warn/or not player y. If player x would be lying he would get warned for abusing F1, but if player x just made a mistake, if he didn't realise it wasnt RDM, that was valid kill I would just tell him to pay more attention next time. But if player y would be rdming constantly, I would bring him to myself, freeze him. Give him a big warning, if he would continue doing that. He would get 4 warns.

•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 bring the player y and ask him why did he revenge his death in that short period. If he says that he hates him, something like that.. If he agrees he killed player x, I would tell him that he must wait for the NLR time to expire, that's 3 minutes and he can see it at top of his screen. He also mustn't be in the NLR zone, it's the zone where he died. If he's new I would ask him to check !motd in front of me to make sure he's reading it. If he would do it again he would get warned.. If he's not new he would get one warn.

•Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided
I would tell player x he isn't allowed to use informations which he currentely sees as his game character and he just did Metagame. I would ask him not to do that anymore and to use /pm if he needs to talk to somebody during raid. If he would constantly Metagame I would warn him.


Why I should be chosen (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words). I have been playing on ZARP for about 6 months. I liked server first time I joined and found friends, etc.. And also brought roughly 20 people to the server in, not sure if that's a good thing but yeah. I donated to server and got VIP. Then I started having fun, talking to player, making funny dupes, basing with friends.. Raiding and helping new players to understand how to play. I was always the type of player who wanted to help everyone but to get that help back. If I am nice to you, don't be douche to me things like that. So – my school ended and now I can do all day whatever I want.. So I chosen to play games and go out.. I can be active for about 3-10 hours per day, and I have alot of people with I have good relations so I would want to be even closer with them. I am maybe way too easy to players, I don't like to warn and I am not best with commands but I can learn. When map changed I started to raid alot so I got warned more than before, but I stopped doing that. I was banned just once from what it seems to be just a big misunderstanding
But that is past, now I am better, I want to benefit the server with my activity and playstyle so that's why I made this moderator application.

I also want to be chosen because I got bored from seeing players spamming OOC chat and asking for admin help.. Every day server is getting more players and we need more moderators/admins. I think I am a good person for moderator because I can understand players, their reasons, I am not aggressive etc.. My F1 handling skills are already good in some ways because I spectated Admins/mods handling F1's. And I saw how they are doing that.

I personally think that I am mature for my age ( I am 16 years old, but I never rage, attack, yell at people, things like that).

Thank you For spending your time Reading this
Also thank you to everyone that has supported me over the time of me playing and to this thread so you people get a + support from me

Cactusjack is a really nice guy

CactusJack can be nice if he likes to +

i'm not trying to be bitchy or anything but I wonder why two people with only 1 post that just joined the forums +supported him..

I told them to look at my post and tell me what they think of it then they look at other mod apps and saw what people where doing so they created an account and did that

So you're saying you advertised your application?
