Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:
R.D.M. (Random Death Match)is when a player shoots and kills another player for no reason sometimes intending to cause chaos in the server.
R.D.M example: Jim is walking down the street minding his own business, when suddenly Carl pulls his weapon out and kills Jim for no reason and then runs away.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario:
N.L.R. (New Life Rule) is when a player forgets all about his old life due to the fact that he was killed, your character can not go to where he died until the time on the top of the screen ends.
N.L.R. example: Ted is defending his base from 2 raiders when he gets killed, he then starts a new life forgetting everything that had occurred before. He then returns back to his base after the time on the screen is over to start a new life.
Breaking of N.L.R. example: Tim kills Jim in a raid, Jim comes back 1 min and 20 seconds later and kills Tim. This is a very common example of the NLR rule being broken. Another example would be that Tim kills Jim in a raid and after 10 min Jim sees Tim and kills him saying that Tim had killed him 10 min earlier.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario:
Metagaming is when you use OOC (Out-Of-Character) chat to share IC (In Character).
Metagaming example: Garry needs a guard so:
(OOC)Garry: " I need a guard to meet me at spawn?"
(OOC)Guard: "Alright, I'm coming wait for me."

-Player x accuses player y for RDMing him, the console log shows that player y killed player x:
I would first take both x and y to a calm place where I would first talk to player x to hear his side of the story then I hear player y's story. After that, I would ask if any of the 2 has proof to back his story up.

1. If there is proof that player X was indeed RDM'ed by player Y. I would explain the RDM rule to player Y and ask him to refer to the MOTD for more details.
2. If there is no proof at all, I would take player X aside and explain to him why my hands tied and that proof is required in a situation like this. Then would apologize to player Y for wasting his time.
3. If there is proof that player Y did not RDM player X I would again apologize to player Y for wasting his time and ask player X to read the rules again in order to make sure that this incident does not repeat again.

If I found out in player Y's side of the story that he had an invalid reason to kill player X, I would warn player Y for RDM and then explain what RDM is and ask him to refer back to the rules for further details.

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 bring player x and ask him what happened then I would bring both of them and ask for both sides of the story.

1. If player x had misunderstood the NLR rule I would explain to him and refer him to the motd.
   
2. If player y had an invalid story, I would reexplain the rule to him and punish him depending on his attitude as I was explaining the rule. If it was a positive attitude I would verbally warn him, but if it was negative I would warn him by command. If this player had been warned before, I would warn him by command and ask him not to do it again.

If both stories are valid I would ask for proof from both players. If there is no proof I would explain to player x that there is nothing I can do and apologize then, I would apologize from player Y for wasting his time and send both players back.

-Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided:
I would first teleport to player x and freeze him in order to prevent him being shot at by the raiders and stop the raid briefly and explain that what he did is meta gaming and give a brief explanation about said rule and refer him to motd. Depending on his attitude and whether he denies what he did or not I would decide on whether to keep it at a verbal warning or warn him by command. Then I would unfreeze player x and resume the raid.

Why I should be chosen (longer answer expected here - at least 150 words):
I am not going to come here and say I am better than the rest; yes I do have experience, so I know how to handle most F1 situations, I know the commands, but I also know that, that does not qualify me to be a staff member. What is the point of a staff member who stops rule breakers then, break the rules himself, by abusing. I believe those who know me, know that after 5 months of being staff about a year ago, I started messing up.
Yes, I am asking for a second chance. Why? I want to make up for everything bad I have done in the past, by making people feel like there is someone they can rely on if anyone ruins their RP experience, like I once ruined theirs. I know this is not what you usually write to reply to such a question, but when I read most replies to this question, even in my old mod application, I feel like they are full of cr*p. You can’t be perfect, not break a single rule, nor accidently press that noclip button, or forget to ungod yourself after an F1, like I once did. I do promise though to try my absolute best to not do those mistakes. I can’t promise I won’t break a rule, but I can promise I will try my best not to. Sorry if this is cheesy



Thank You For Reading My App! I hope you make the right choice while voting!

I can only assume that you're talking about when you were raiding and kieth was next to you. It's perfectly normal to assume when two people are in conjunction with one another that they are affiliated in raiding.

recent warning and muted for 5 minutes.

Johnny the main reason that me and a few others don't want you as staff is because of how cocky and disrespectful you can get. And the warning....I mean if you improved on these little things I would love to have you back as staff, I'm not here to argue you can claim you are not disrespectful and cocky but we both know what is true and what isn't.

Basically you act cocky in RP when you wreck their bases.

Damnit, because you're a dick in RP you're bad mod material!

Likes To Bend Rules -Support

Not even a valid reason to -support

He isn't just cocky in rp he is cocky in general. He is disrespectful maybe if you looked at the bad side to him instead of kissing up to him due to him being your gang leader. I don't care if he is cocky in rp but he does get disrespectful at times, also bending the rules is loopholing which is a reason to -Support someone.

I'd like to see how he bends the rules, in all the time I've been basing with him he hasn't broken any rules.

And that little dig in the middle of your paragraph only shows how immature you really are, I don't kiss his ass, I'm his friend. You only accuse me of kissing his ass because our opinions conflict.

Not because our opinions conflict just because it's so god damn obvious. Have you ever heard of him doing it when you are not online? Guess not sad said he bends the rules I didn't know it either but maybe jst maybe he did it when we were not online.

From what I've seen you're normally a good guy, who follows the rules and you've proven your activity even though you only started playing around a week ago, but you've played for extensive amounts of times everyday for the last 6-7 days.

Although, that recent warning and punishment puts me a bit on edge, I don't think you're exactly up to date with the rules, or you've just made a small mistake which unfortunately leads to a -Support.

Sorry, I really feel as though you could be a great staff member once again but perhaps you need to familiarise yourself with the rules a bit more, or tread a lot more carefully to avoid breaking rules.

This hate though, I don't mind it. Just trying to help out, not like I'm going to be upset for the sake of trying to help the community I play in. Let me just defend myself some more okay?

Sada, you're the one I killed while your brotherhood gang was raiding and you were standing next to the guy with the thundergun, right?
Gmod Troller, you realize that you're judging me of my actions in game? Do you understand that gang rivalry demands cockiness? Bending the rules? Give me an example were I bent a rule? If anything, you're mad at the fact that I killed Kieth thinking he was basing with you and didn't get warned for it for admitting it was a mistake, I don't know why you're taking the mistake I made so personal, if Kieth wants to warn me for it, let him. Moreover, just because I argue to prove my point instead of accepting punishment to something I didn't do/intend to is not bending the rules.

Stratiic, I beleive I know the rules more than most of the staff here, like there was this staff member that didn't know about the owning front doors/more doors will get you the base rule, had to get soxey to talk to him on TS so he would understand. I've read the rules so many times... I think I can rewrite them.

Exrominem, you don't have to reply to the hate comments/-supports, I really do appreciate it, but no need to go through all this trouble for a lost war. I don't mind getting denied either as I've stated on my application that took me hours to make by the way (thanks to those who read), I feel bad for what I've done to the community in the past and I'm trying to make up for it.

Last but not least, ChuteUK once told me on TS, when I was an admin, that the reason I was reported so much was because of my high activity. I still didn't forget that. You guys should know that too, I've got an average of 16 hours/day, do you not expect me make a few mistakes in that time?

Not sure how you just managed to double post, but you just did, so please refrain from double posting.

Another case of perspectives gone wrong; I had a lot of them lately and especially hate them. Can I theorize as well? "Due" is a strong word. You could have just posted saying he is cocky and bending the rules, but you just had to reach that certain position of "This is my perspective to why you're backing him up; let me say that he's backing Johnny up because Exrobite is kissing his ass due to him being the gang leader and doesn't want to end up in bad terms with a friend".

We can't hide behind the curtain that you have recent warnings.

Phone post I guess didn't show for me the first time, I just clicked submit again after fixing a few things, sorry for that.

Walrus, yes I do have recent warnings, 1 to be exact, which was also a mistake. I won't deny it, I made a few mistakes, but don't we all? I mean like I said, I'm playing a lot, so I encounter huge amounts of players each day, which I raid, defend, kill, mug etc...
I chat with exrobite a lot per day, I would know if he was kissing my ass, as I've got that a lot lately.

Edit:ParaMontana wrote:
I was muted because I was using /tts to tell pred he got rekt. Guess just another staff member mixing OOC with IC. I was like "Pred is mad because he is bad, he told his dad, which I find to be sad." I said it and many others started doing it. What's the point of playing a game if you won't react to winnings and losses?

Second of all, that warn for Fail rp? I was killed by the SA when he was SAS, after parking my car and taking my gun out to start a raid, I die, go to respawn my car to continue on with my RP, I see him tping me, freezing me, warning me and leaving, when I came to talk to me he just ignored. Turns out he wanted to take it to the impound.

After the two punishments and including my verbal to you yesterday forI've got to say this as a friend i will vote no for you this meeting. Improve general attitude towarded players and stop breaking rules and you got my vote next time.

This guy here is in my gang, how come he - supported? In fact, me and him are friends, we have laughs all the time. Did you see me get mad at him? Did I kick him from the gang? I don't mind hence, I don't see why exrobite would have to
"kiss up to me" to get my approval, as he already has it.
Thanks for your honest opinion Bilbo, I don't think I'll apply any time soon, maybe wait a few more weeks, see how things go from there..
