Explain "Random Death Match" and give an example scenario:
RDM/Attempted RDM is when a player kills or damages another player with no valid RP reason.
Example: Player A goes gun dealer, buys a weapon, and goes around to other players killing them because he felt like it.

Explain "New Life Rule" and give an example scenario:
NLR is when a player is killed/dies and must spawn back forgetting all previous memories and interactions of their former life, they also must not return to the district of death for 3 minutes (NLR timer above screen).
Example: Player A is killed by cops after opening fire on them when they tried arresting him, Player A goes back to the district of death straight after spawning to continue what he was previously doing, NLR has been broken.

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 ask player y his reasoning for killing player x, if he confesses to it I would look up his previous warnings to determine if he is deserving of an RDM warning. If he has no previous warnings for RDM I would let him off with a verbal warning. However, if player y responds with a valid reason for killing player x I would instead continue on to ask player x if he had any evidence to support his claim. If so, I would log both of their information (steamid and steam profile) and ask that he upload it and send it to me so I may deal with it properly. If not, I will tell him there's nothing I can do without proper evidence besides keep an eye out for it. Afterwards I would recommend both players to record whenever they play so any issues that may arise can be dealt with efficiently and swiftly with the proper evidence, afterwards I would end the sit.

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 districts both deaths were in, if they both were in the same district I would ask player y his reasoning for killing player x. I would also verbally warn player y to not break nlr by going back to the district of his previous death (if he had no recent warnings for NLR). I would also ask player x and y if either of them had any evidence to support either claims in the case that it may of been rdm/revenge rdm on top of the NLR.

Why I should be chosen (we recommend around 150 words):
I feel like I would be a good fit to help improve the server experience with my experienced background of staffing on FP for well over a year before my resignation. I'd like to say I was considered one of the best admins on FP when it came to activity and minimizing rule breaking on the server. I will admit I did have a shaky start on my original return to the communities but I can assure everyone it has been completely corrected and will not happen again. I would absolutely love to help the player base of ZARP in any way I can hense why I am trying to go for moderator. My main goal is to help improve the experience for all of ZARP's current and new players in hopes to see the servers have an even better experience for everyone and possibly see some more new faces around regularly. When it comes down to it I'm determined to help improve ZARP and willing to put the work in to do so.

I understand he has a recent for a rather serious offense, but it will not be active by the time of the meeting. I am biased, because I staffed with him back in FP, but he was a fantastic staff member then and I truly believe he will be one here at Zarp.

Nice.

I trust Sora even though he caught hacking he was genuinely sorry and admitted to it and I know for a fact he has learnt. The warning(s) will not be active the day of the meeting.

I don't trust hackers

Even though Sora is a very nice guy and according to what was said he was a good staff member back on FP, I personally wouldn't trust someone with moderating powers given that they have been recently caught hacking. I know the punishment will not be active by the meeting, but it is still considered too recent for me to put my trust in someone who wants to help users and make their experience better after recently ruining others' roleplay.

Best of luck.

I see that you actually put effort into the server. One stupid action doasn't define you I just hope this type of thing never happens agiain.

I do not think 1 punishment identifies sora as a bad person, he admitted to his actions straight away and he didn't take full advantage of it. I know people have got into the staff team with a warn and I do not see why not sora can be one of those people.

He's a really friendly guy, he knows the rules and he abides by them. He is not a troll, he never meant harm by the hacking and I personally think that this man will make it far if given the chance. You guys should speak to him on team speak, he's a great guy to talk to and he's a real inspiration. I think he will be a grate asset to the staff team, even if you don't get it this week for the hacking I know for defiant that you will get it the week after.

Great guy, nice activity.

I don't care how nice you are or how many recent punishments you have; if you hacked within the last month, I don't trust you with staff, no matter who you are. Even if you did confess. The same applies here.

I don't understand if people that end up on Zarp already have this mindset of it it's Zarp who gives it to them, but are you guys seriously thinking that 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months is enough for someone to change? Jesus. He's even replied to Roy saying "it wasn't even that bad", like, the fuck guys...

I can't stress how good of a staff member he was back in FP and what potential Sora could bring to the community.

Great guy, I would like to see you as a staff member for sure but that might take a couple of weeks due to you recently hacking, good luck, hope you get it in the near future, I disagree with using it as a reason to deny you.

Archick wrote: Under the specific circumstances and how long the duration was then yes it wasn't that bad. It wasn't as if they were used in a peak time to find everything on the map and use it to an advantage. Also having the mindset that people can never change in a short duration is crazy, especially when you haven't had a single interaction with said person.

Sora was a great staff member on FP, and he could become a real asset to Zarp SSRP if given the chance. Yes, he admitted to hacking but has clearly put that behind him and wants to improve. Considering the history of others on the staff team, I think he can be given a chance as Moderator.

Did not give me a summer draw entry.

I don't usually ever post on apps, I don't really post in general but I had to when i saw this app, Sora was a great staff member of Friendly Players for an extremely long time and was always very professional about it, in my opinion Zarp would be lucky to have this kind of guy on their staff team and they frankly need them, and in all honesty I don't wanna hear that hacking bullshit because you and me both know there are so many people who hack on Zarp its unbelievable , and there have been a lot of people who have hacked on Zarp and then become some of the most respected people of the community so in all honesty hacking shouldn't count against Sora your just looking for a reason not to accept him in my opinion.



By the way the last time i checked you got caught hacking too, so does this mean no one should trust you ?
