Explanation for low gametime and activity in the Why Me? section.

Age: 14

Estimated Server Time: 5 hours (Explanation also in the Why Me? section.)

Languages I speak: Fluid Dutch and English, a small amount of German & French.

Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Random Death Match, RDM for short, is the instance where a player kills another player for no good reason. An example of commonly done RDM is Revenge RDM, where a player kills another player after they have been killed by said player. In this case they most of the time also break NLR.

An example scenario could be: Player A walks up to player B. Player B has currently done nothing to Player A for him to justify killing Player B. Player A takes out a specific gun and shoots Player B for no reason. If Player A was to finish the kill, it would be RDM. If player A was to not finish the kill and walk away after that, or player B kills Player A before Player A can kill Player B, it is seen as Attempted RDM.

Alternatively, there are many players reporting others for killing them in a raid. Killing someone in a raid however is a fair reason and therefore the player who killed the other did not RDM in this case.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.

New Life Rule, NLR for short, is when a player has been killed/died and returned to the same spot where this happened before the 3 minute timer has ran out. In some instances Revenge RDM might apply here as well, because said person has been killed by another and goes back before the timer has ran out to RDM the other person.

An example scenario: Player A has killed Player B. Player B returns to that same area and optionally also interacts with said area, before the 3 minute timer has ran out. In this case Player B has NLR'd and deserves to get a warning.

Another scenario could be: Player A has killed Player B in the spawn area. Therefore Player B spawns at the same place where he was killed, but in this case it is not NLR yet. He is not allowed to interact in the spawn area in any way and needs to leave the spawn area as soon as possible for it to not be NLR.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Metagaming is when in-character information has been said in a out of character way, most notable being the OOC chat. This is vice versa and therefore OOC information can not be said in the IC chat. In a lot of cases this happens when a specific person asks for help in for example a hostage situation and tells everyone in the server the location via OOC chat and asks them to save them. This would be metagaming.

An example scenario: Other than a hostage situation, metagaming could also apply where Player A is saying things that could be vital information to the other nearby players in IC chat, but the things he is telling are obtained for an OOC source. Most notably people using Steam chat to communicate and then telling the others in the IC chat, which would be seen as metagaming.

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 go to Player X to ask what has happened and hear the story from his side first.
If from the story it turns out to not be RDM then I would not go to ask Player Y for his story, since it's now clear that this was not RDM.
However, if his story shows it to be RDM then I would ask if he has any proof to back this accusation up.
If he does, then I would look at the proof accordingly and decide if this is enough proof to warn the other player and warn him if it is.
If he does not, then I will teleport X and Y to the same spot and hear both sides, and after that let both of them tell if the other person was telling the mistruth at any point or not, which is the most likely scenario to happen.
If there is no proof backing either of these claims up, then I will let them go without a warning since there is no way to find out which one is right in this case.
If Player Y decides to confess to the situation, then he will be warned.

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.
The fact that the kills are very close together will almost definitely make it RDM. There is of course the chance that Player X has been killed by something - for example a grenade, that Player Y has thrown before he died and therefore it's logical that both might be killed in this situation disregarding of who died first.
If this is not the case and Player Y killed Player X with an actual weapon, then I would go to Player Y and ask him why he's NLR'd, since the chances are slim that he hasn't.
If he confesses, then I will warn him accordingly.
If he does not confess, I would ask him how he killed Player X so fast after he got killed, in which case he probably has no good reason or excuse to tell me how. It will most likely end in a confession and he wil be warned.

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 warn him for metagaming and send him a PM to tell him why it is. If he does not understand then I will try to explain metagaming to him so he won't do it again.

Why I should be chosen (we recommend around 150 words).
I will first cut to the chase as to why my gametime and activity is so low. I love helping out ZARP in any way I can. I have been a TTT staff for about 5 months give or take, and have shown there that I am worthy of a staff position and can be active and dedicated to a server. I like the DarkRP gamemode, but I can not play it a lot since I get bored easily and just lose interest after some time. I, however, have seen that the DarkRP gamemode has the problem that not always F1's are being done. I would love to help out on server 1 and 2 and do F1's on there. I will mostly do F1's and not RP a lot, and therefore focus more on the staff job than the actual gamemode. And who knows, maybe if I become staff the gamemode will suck me in and I will love to play it anyway. My staff position will always be my number 1 priority and I would love to help out the players on the server be it via F1's or general questions via OOC chat. I am also known on TTT as always racing for the so-called F8's there, so that shows that I am quite ''hungry'' to help people out. I always try to hear it from both sides if necessary and am quite patient. I would love to help the DarkRP gamemode out the best I can and because of that I think I would be a great staff member. I have talked to RedPowder because of this and he said I should let you guys know my reasons behind it and try it out.

Thank you for taking the time to read my application and I hope you will give me the chance to prove myself as a worthy staff member to the DarkRP gamemode.

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.

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.
