RP Name: JamesW
Link to Steam Profile: steamcommunity.com/id/JamesWonderley/
SteamID: STEAM_0:0:61164809
All Gametracker Profiles From ZARP
Server 1 - www.gametracker.com/server_info/darkrp.z...layers/?query=sponge
www.gametracker.com/player/James%20W/dar...arpgaming.com:27015/
Server 2 - Don't really play it

Estimated Server Time: Around 108 days. Been in the community for around 5 years.

Languages I speak: English (Main language), A little bit of French (second language)

Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario.
Random Death Match aka RDM is when for example player A is running down the road and player B comes from nowhere and kills player A with no valid reason.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario.
New Life Rule aka NLR is when player A is raided / killed by player B. Then player A runs back to where he was killed before the 3 minutes is up.

Explain "Metagaming" and give an example scenario.
Metagaming is when people are using a 3rd party software to communicate while playing the server. An example of this is player A & B are basing together but player B isn't in the base. While he's not in the base they get raided leaving player A to defend on his own. Because of this player A panics and tells player B (using the 3rd party software) to come behind them and kill them.

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 teleport both player X and player Y to a roof or just to the same location. I would ask player Y why they killed player X. If he claims that he killed him for a valid reason I would ask player X for his side of the story. If both stories are different I would ask for evidence and carry on from there. Either punishing player Y or dropping the F1.

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.

I would check the logs and if the kills where within 3 minutes of each other I would teleport them to the same location and ask player X where he got killed and for what reason and if it was in relatively close to player Y's death position I would proceed by warning player Y if not I would ask player Y why he killed him. If it was without valid reason then I would punish him for RDM.

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 teleport to him and tell him that he is metagaming and if he had done it before then I would warn him but if he had done it for the first time and didn't really understand what he'd done wrong I would let him off with a verbal warning.

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

I think I should be chosen as I have been in this community for around 5 years. Although I've been banned for quite a long time I still have great knowledge of the rules. Throughout my ban I was checking the forums every day for any new changes made to the community so if I was ever unbanned (which I finally am) I would know what the changes are and know the rules if they were changed. I also think I should be chosen as I have alot of game time on ZARP and it is by far my favourite community and this time I don't plan on being banned. I have learnt my lesson and wont do anything wrong again. I am a good member of ZARP and I believe I have what it takes to become a moderator. I have previously been an administrator for ZARP DarkRP so I do know the difference between right and wrong and would like to enforce the rules by becoming a staff member once again. I have also had experience during my ban being a Senior administrator on a different DarkRP server so I am definitely used to enforcing the rules.

I know what some of you are thinking I've only been back in the community for a short while and if I get denied due to that I will understand but I just think I deserve another opportunity as staff on DarkRP once again.

Yet again don't bother putting inactivity replies because my great uncle Harold died recently/=.

Thanks for reading

5 gametracker links are not working correctly.
Was ZARP even here 5 years ago? Previous owners were registered at 2012 ...

AROUND - basically an estimate

First time you were spotted on SSRP, since your applying for the server i think this is the one that matters.

JamesW wrote: Your explanations are terrible, Im confused. First of all You're saying that you would ask for stories, This is the first mistake that proves you are not ready for moderator. Also in your NLR explanation you're saying you're gonna ask him where he died and for what reason (Asking for a story) The main problem with this is that the person can just lie about it and You're saying you are gonna warn him for being relatively to the other player's death But you cant tell if he is lying or not. Also note that you are always TPing without asking if the person is in a raid or not, This happens alot of times where moderators TP you out of bank raid etc Which is also a mistake proving you are not ready for moderator. Also in your NLR explanation you're saying NLR is Only If the person goes back to the same district. And metagaming is actually using OCC to Give RP info not actual "Ghosting".
