Current Gametracker Profiles:

SSRP 1 (Only been on this one) "Click Here"

Gametracker did not record my progress for the 12th of October which I played for 623 minutes and the 14th which I played for 198 minutes (These fill the two empty gaps in the game tracker). It is not showing all of my gametime on the stats which is strange and its displaying 0. But I can promise you my activity is better than what it shows on the gametracker and I have been on everyday since the last meeting for at least three hours a day.

Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:

RDM is when someone randomly kills another player. RDM / Random Death Match is one of the most common rule breaks in DarkRP. RDM would usually be dealt with a warn or if the users RDM's in large numbers then a small to medium ban should be issued. Repeat offences of single RDM should result in a warn each time and if multiple mass RDM's are carried out then a perma ban should be issued. For a direct example, Player X kills Player Y when he was building his shop for no reason other than he wanted to build there.

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

New life rule or NLR is when a user returns to the place of death within the time limit set by the server owner. For Zarp this is 3 minutes and with Zarp it is done by districts instead of a single place of death. An example would be Dave killed Bob in a raid, Bob gets mad and returns back to his base before the timer was up. A NLR break is usually dealt with a simple warning. Repeat offences should result in more warnings or a small ban.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario:

On normal servers metagaming is when someone uses in game specifics or ooc chat to reveal information that the player should not know example a players job. A example of this if a person said a user is a theif without actually witnessing them stealing. But with Zarp, metagaming is when users do not use the right chat channels to communicate. OOC is for out of character and IC is for in character. An example would be when a gun dealer is begging people to visit his gun shop using OOC.

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.

In this situation I would bring both users to a area which no one was currently present which would usually be a rooftop and ask both of them to explain the situation, If there was a proper story behind it along with some proof or evidence, I would work out if either party should get a warn or if it was a direct RDM with proof then I will issue player Y with a warning. If there was a misunderstanding or something of that sort then a verbal warning will be issued.

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.

Even though it is a peak time I would still listen to the story and see if there is any extra proof or evidence to support it. If it was clearly a NLR rule break then a warn or verbal warning will be issued depending on the situation.

Explain how you would handle the following situation:

Player x calls for help in the OOC chat because his bank is being raided

Player X is metagaming by saying he is being raided by using OOC. Raiding is a in game roleplay action so should only be spoke about using the IC, Advert or Me channels. I would explain to him that he is metagaming and if he does not know what that is then I will explain the rule of metagaming.

Why I should be chosen (we recommend around 150 words).

I have been owner and administrator of many servers but I would like to expand my knowledge and begin another life with the zarp community. I have 3 years experience in administrating and owning servers. I am dedicated and well prepared for any situation. I am mature and will deal with any problems in a serious matter but I will also listen to what people have to say. After being on countless other servers, this is one of the most exciting and interesting servers I have been on and it is by far the most fantastic with the amount of custom content so it would be a pleasure to help keep the server clean. I see so many rule breakers, I report whenever I can but sometimes reporting is not enough. With the power of moderator it will make it easier to help fight rule breakers and on another note it would be a pleasure to work along side the dedicated administration team of Zarp.

I have spent the past week trying my hardest to do good and better myself. I have been doing giveaways, helping report rule breakers, I have been answering every single question which people ask on the server, I am asked if I am admin all the time so that must say something. The problem is today I was warned for something silly which I did not know was wrong which I am fully sorry. I am well informed of the rules but I was warned for something that I have seen so many people do. I did not know that you could not hide printers by using lots of props. I have seen loads of people hide printers and get away with it. Even a moderator I raided had a hidden printer among loads of props. I just thought as long as a player was able to get to the printer / see the printer when moving around the base it was fine. The admin who warned me even thought I was staff / previous staff which must say something. I tried so hard this week not to get a warning but I failed on the last day and I am hoping that I can still be considered for a Moderator position. All I want to do is help the community and better myself. I am sincerely apologetic for what I did but as I said I saw so many other people doing it including another mod that I did not know it was wrong. One positive thing is that is has helped me expand my knowledge of the rules even further and it will allow me to help educate anyone else who is unclear about that rule.

Thanks everyone for reading and thanks for this fantastic community!

Recent Warning, needs to improve attitude towards people.
