DEATHRUN RELATED:

What is Ghosting? Give an example: Ghosting is a form of immoral "cheating" or bad etiquette in Deathrun whereby a player (who is usually dead), will communicate with a player that is alive and give them information that wouldn't otherwise be obtainable to the alive player. This information can be things such as which traps have been activated, or the location of other Deaths and Runners on the map. This gives them an unfair advantage, and, therefore, tarnishes the impartiality of the gameplay. It has been a problem in Deathrun pretty much since its inception, and due to third party communication applications, it can be hard to prevent, so the main thing that admins can do is to try and cull it at the first sign if it appearing, through whatever means necessary.

How would you deal with a disrespectful player?: I would firstly give them a verbal warning, ensuring that they understand that what they are doing is wrong, and that they know that they have been warned. Should the problem persist, then I will (powers permitting) mute them for an allotted amount of time (usually 5 minutes per say), muting them for 10, and then 15 if they continue to be disrespectful. However, if they are still disrespectful after the three mutes, then I would confer with other admins if they are available, and issue a temporary ban from the server (perhaps for 3 hours) and inform other admins.It is very important to nip disrespectful players in the bud as early as possible when it comes to Deathrun, as their toxic behaviour is able to be repeated on a round by round basis, and it is often very toxic, so ensuring other players don't follow suit should be a top priority.

Why should I be chosen for the role: I believe that my maturity, experience, and skillset place me above the other great applicants for this role. I have been playing on several Deathrun servers over the past few years, and even used to own one myself. I have been staff on multiple servers, and Zarp Gaming seems to be the best one yet. I really feel as though I could benefit from working with some of the amazing staff members (that I have been introduced to already), as well as bringing things that I have learnt from my several hundred hours on Deathrun, and make Zarp Gaming even better! I have loads of free time since I have finished college, and I would like to think that I will be able to join the servers at times where other admins may not be able to due to commitments. I also feel that since I have joined ZarpGaming, I have been able to integrate myself into the community rather well, and I hope to continue doing this for many weeks, months, and years to come!

Just to finish my application, I know that a 10 minute incident occurred last week which seemingly tarnished my entire Moderator application. I hope that reapplyIng this week not only shows my commitment to ZarpGaming, but it also shows that I (and other players) have forgiven and forgotten what happened and, like me, are looking forward to making ZarpGaming a better place. I am genuinely remorseful for my actions during that time and I hope that my further actions in game reflect that, and if not, it is my upmost priority to convince everyone involved that this is the case.

Thank you for reading my application, I hope that you take it into consideration, and I'll see you in game!

All the best,

SwimminSteve

Detailed app. Good luck !

Very detailed application but you need to get consistently good activity. Good luck!

Despite your application being extremely detailed, I have seen you death avoid at least two times and, if im correct, you have at least two recent warnings what is not good for a moderator candidate. My recommendation is for you to wait out your recent punishments and keep playing, showing the staff team that you can follow rules and are suitable for becoming a moderator.

Yes of course! I was away the past couple of days but I am back on the grind now! Well over a few hours a day! I have no concern that my activity will drop!

Thanks for your comment!

If you read the application (and my previous one) these concerns have been identified and accepted by the admins, most of them understanding that they were all in the space of 10 minutes (with reasoning), and understanding that these things won't happen again. Unfortunately I can only try my best and can't speed up time! I haven't done anything wrong in my dozens of hours of gameplay besides this, and I have been told my gameplay reflects that.

Thanks for your comment!

0/When you got denied last time, You showed a lot of immaturity. Until you show me that you’re not immature you’ll have my vote

EDIT: I apologise, I thought you were someone else but I see no massive negatives. Good luck!

Immature? I mean, that's definitely new. I've been arguably the most diligent person in my social circle (and beyond) for years. I guess it's all personal opinion, though. The only way I can show you that I'm not immature is by trying again and continuing to play on the server. I completely accept why I got rejected and never expressed an issue with it. There was some controversy around the "death avoiding scandal" and I do admit I made some regrettable comments, but as I mentioned earlier, that's forgiven and forgotten, and I accept the notion made surrounding that. I hope that you see how mature I am in future (or presently), and you are open to a discussion with me if you think otherwise!

Thanks for your input, I take all comments whether good or bad into account!

Thank you, Eddie! Yes, that is definitely my intention, see you in game!

excluding these past incidents, i would love to have you in the staff team. from the short times we have talked on teamspeak you seemed like a nice person. you have my vote for now.

Thank you for your comment! Glad you can see how much I want to help. You are a great person too! Hopefully I'll speak to you on Teamspeak soon!

Really friendly in game, detailed app.

good luck bud!

So some people now are saying that you have recents, now that’s obviously not a good thing but I got accepted with a recent I feel like you could too. However I also haven’t seen you that much on Deathrun . But from what I’ve heard you’re a nice guy.

Goodluck!

Thank you for the support! Yes it is rather odd that you haven't seen me as I am usually on for at least 3 hours each day? I have seen you around though, and I'm sure I'll see you in game soon!

Dont think much about you can not really say anything
