Gameplay Related Questions

What is Ghosting? and give an example: Ghosting is the disclosure of game compromising information from dead players whom are spectating, to those that are still alive in the game. An example of this is a dead player telling an alive player where a death is positioned when the living player cannot see for himself.

How would you deal with a disrespectful player?: Given my previous moderation experience I have realized that the best way to deal with a disrespectful player is the Warn>Kick>Ban approach. Most players will usually cease their malicious behavior if asked to stop in a certain way if spoken to in a respectful way, and that usually solves the issue. However if a player persists it may be necessary to Kick the player. At this point any player wishing to not cause any deliberate harm would have stopped and negative actions he was taking, so if at this time the player had not stopped, it may be necessary to issue a ban relative to the scope of the situation.

Why I should be chosen: Oh god I hate these questions, they always come up in job interviews. There isn't all that much that makes me soar above the other candidates, sure I may be more experienced in situations involving malicious people due to my previous experience in moderation and administration, but to be honest I'm just an honest chap wanting to help out the server. All too often I see mic spammers or any other wavelength from the spectrum of rulebreakers and I feel helpless, especially seeing as I don't speak to many people on the community if any at all. I'm on Deathrun from time to time and I'm practically cemented into teamspeak (Even if nobody ever says hello), I just want to spare a helping hand this summer as the strain on Zarp's servers increases. Thankyou for reading my application, feedback, positive or negative is always appreciated.

Hello and thanks for applying.
I'm gonna check and review your application.

First of all, I don't really understand the point of just simply copying your last app. You could have at least improved on the bad points you had on your last app. I'd even say this app decreased comparing to your last app are there's a complete lack of bbcode this time.

Basically, my review will almost be the same as the last time.

Improve What is ghosting part. You explain one of the situation of ghosting but not the most expected (and which happens the most) situation. Give an example with things such as doors and codes etc...

How would you deal with a disrespectful player part still needs improvement. You might want to mention the gag/mute commands. And as said on your last app, moderators cannot ban. Mention admin's help.

Friendly player. (For the least I saw...).
Gametime and activity have improved.
Application needs improvements.
You did't listen to the advice given.
Copy/pasting your last app doesn't show any interest in applying.

So yeah, I don't know what much to say. I just feel like I'm quoting myself. I'm still going for a +/-Support but as you just copy/pasted your last app (which I think is kinda.. rude ? Not sure if I'm using the right term) I'd even go for a -Support.

Good luck anyways

I apologize that you found my application "Rude". I copy-pasted it back because the only feedback given from the staff conference was regarding my playtime, so I assumed that was the only issue at hand, given that nobody else reinforced your points about my answers to the questions, you were the only person that mentioned them being substandard and because of that I didn't feel any need to expand on the points. However because it is clear that this has not sat well with you I will revise my points about the game-play related questions.

On the gamemode deathrun, the term 'Ghosting' is used to describe the act of a living player giving compromising information to a dead player. The two most common form of this comes at points where runners need to make a gamble on something (For example one of two doors) that has already had its outcome discovered by a dead player (Through playing himself or via spectate mode). If this player was to then give out information about the scenario, he has ghosted. This is only one example of ghosting however it is the most prominent and persistent form of this rule being broken.
Disrespecting takes many forms, it can be through direct attacts on an individual, or through more generalised means, for example the use of Homophobic slurs ect. Neither of these cases are acceptable and should always be met with moderator action. If the player(s) whom are carrying out either of these acts are doing it through their microphones then the moderator should gag the player, as to stop him from furthering his attacks whilst you speak with them, and they should then be warned verbally as to what they are doing, and what will happen if their actions continue, the person should also then be issued with a warning through the 'Awarn' system as to tag the player and provide a history on the player for future reference. (If the player is using Text-Chat the same system should be followed but by muting the player rather than gagging them).

Most players will stop at this point, however if the problem persists then additional action should be taken against the player in the form of a kick (With a reflecting reason given to the client). After this if the player rejoins and continues to be a nuisance, the moderator should contact an administrator in order to request a ban and should continue to use their powers to their extent to restrict the rulebreaker from ruining gameplay for the other players.



I assure you that if reasoning for my application being denied was given I would've appended my original app to include these things, but I chose not to. (I'd also like to point out that I'm not a big fan of what the BBcode formatting looks like on Kunena so I chose to limit it to only a hyperlink). Thankyou for the feedback and I apologise if I came across as not entirely serious about my application, I certainly am.

This is, way better than before The most important part was the "Disrespect", I wanted to know if you were aware of how you would have to deal with a player. Next time, think about using the EDIT button by the way.

I would've edited my last post but now I feel like replying will make the thing easier.
Thank you for the improvement, I'm now going for a sure +Support as your application is really good now, my final judgment on you will depend on what I see of you in-game

Good luck

PS: I feel like the way I expressed myself on your app was a bit harsh. No need to apologize or everything but the lack of "new" made your app really cold and uninteractive

Seen you in the server a couple of times.
Friendly and liked by many.
App is decent. I like how you prove you can speak other languages xD

Thanks for all the top feedback everyone, even if I'm not accepted the support is still cherished.

First and foremost, we'd like to thank you for making the effort to apply for a rank on the ZARP Deathrun server. 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.
