Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Random Death Match, or "RDM" is a term to describe an action done by a player that involves killing a single, or multiple person(s) without a valid reason to do so.

As an example, if John was to kill Steve in the middle of the street without being provoked by Steve, John would be commiting RDM because he randomly killed Steve, without being provoked as to do so.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
New Life Rule, or "NLR" is a rule that consists of several actions that a player must not perform in a specified time after being killed. This consists of:
- Venturing back to the immediate area of where (s)he was killed.
- The player should forget all that happened in the last life. (Within Reason)

For example, if Steve was to be killed in a raid on John's base, and, without taking any notice of the NLR Timer at the top of his screen, went straight back to the base within the allocated time limit allocated as NLR, he would be breaching the rule. (This also coincides with the 10 Minute Raid Timer Rule, if he was alone.)

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Metagaming is the act in which OOC, or "Out of Character" information is used in an IC, (In Character) context. This could range from the position of a base, and the layout of the inner area, to the area that the mayor is situated.

Just as an example, Steve has just become mayor, and hired John as his personal Guard. If John was to relay information of Steve's whereabouts to the public through OOC Chat and Alex was to see this chat and hunt down the mayor based solely on this information, Alex would be 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.

1. Ask for proof of the accusation from Player X.
2. If Player X does not have any proof, I cannot enforce any punishment on player Y.
(Even though the Console Log may state that Player Y did in fact kill Player X, it may have been a raid or a mugging gone wrong, so therefore without proof, I wouldn't take action and would dismiss the two players.)

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.

1. First and foremost, ask Player X for some additional proof in the form of Video/Screenshots.
2. If Player X does not have any additional proof, I cannot enforce any punishment on player Y.
(I feel that when it comes to NLR at peak times, the console should be the first source of suspicion, not the final verdict. I think that to an extent, it always comes down to proof.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided.

1. Teleport to Player X and wait for a quiet opportunity to confront him/her.
2. Talk to the player to discuss the subject of meta gaming, so that they understand.
3. Depending on the amount of times the Player has done it, the punishment would be variable.
(I think that making sure a player knows and understands what Metagaming is, or for that matter what any terminology or rule is, is the first step towards creating a less hostile environment.)

Why I should be chosen (we recommend around 150 words).
I think that I should be chosen to become a moderator for the ZARP Gaming SSRP server(s) because I'm active quite a lot on server two and spend most of my free time with a couple of friends making money and catching criminals.
I see a lot of Rule-Breaking going on on the server, and as much as I report it, I'd really like to be able to deal with it there and then. I feel like I've gained so much from this community in the way of endless hours of fun, and even making a few new friends that I'd like to give something back. I feel that applying for moderator is the best way.

I have no idea who you are

Positives:

Nice App
Good Answers
Seems Friendly
Gametime is good.


Negatives:
Activity is horrible, by next meeting try to boost your activity.

Verdict: +Support, this will be negative if your activity isn't boosted.

First, I am not a staff member, so this post won't count but...

Positive
You've got good gametracker results.

Negative
I have never seen you ingame

On MY behalf, its a neutral.

For those who say they've never seen me ingame, my main server is Server 2. I rarely play on server 1. I have a few hours on Server 1, but I prefer the Server 2 map, so if your main server is Server 1, you probably won't have seen me in game.

Thanks,
Spud

Hello there buddy! My name is Chinese Eliminator. This post is for you to read and for others to base their opinions on about you on this very application.

My opinion
Spuddylicious, you seem to be a promising asset towards the staff team, even though I cannot guarantee your place being in the staff team. All your answers are detailed and correctly placed, with clear evidence of you showing your knowledge of rules and such. Easy to follow and easy to repeat. I don't play server two, so I know nothing of your in-game behaviour but we'll have to find out later. Your final answer is semi-promising, since there is some uniqueness towards the answer. Most people usually put 'I see a lot of rule breaking and I want to stop that.' That happens too often, although it's true, try change it so the answer is more interesting.


Positives
Clear and detailed answers
App is nicely laid out.
Good knowledge of rules

Negatives
Activity seems to be inconsistent. 313 minutes today, less than 50 on others.


Overall Verdict
My opinion about you is...

NEUTRAL!

My opinion will change when your activity becomes a consistent. Usually above an hour or so each or every two days.

My opinion probably doesn't matter but:

Positives:
-Friendly guy, based with him on server two
-Mature
-Clear understanding of the rules
-Wants to help others, this was proven to me by his growing tutorial (www.zarpgaming.com/index.php/forum/darkr...srp-growing-tutorial)
-Quite a lot of total time on the server (90 hours)

That brings me to
Negatives:
-Activity seems to show that he is not online on Mondays or Tuesdays? (I personally don't see it as a real problem. He probably doesn't have control over it)

My final verdict is a +Support

Good Application
Good GameTime
Good Answers



Activity Could Be Improved

Hi all, I'm actually on the plane right now...

I won't be online for the next few weeks as I am away, so this renders my activity in the coming weeks to nothing.

This also means that this application won't need to be reviewed this week, but if it isn't, then there is the excuse for my inactivity.

Thanks for your understanding.

positives
great guy
knows the rules well
nice person to play whit
negatives
none that i see
Verdict +support

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.
