Long Answer
Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum.
What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * My original reason/motivation for applying still stands. I first started playing Diverge quite a few months ago, and over the course of a year, I had an absolutely great time playing. A few months back, I got busy with a lot of work and had to gradually stop altogether, but I'm no longer busy, and the sparks are back, I suppose. Being a crime char, and even being staff for a time, led to me making some unforgettable buddies who I still speak with to this day. My main reason for applying (again) is just wanting to give it another shot. I personally thought I did pretty well before, but a lot of the good came at a bad time, so I regret stopping. I very sincerely apologize to Boom and Dong for wasting your time on the last one, if I had known that would've happened, I would've waited. Hopefully, you guys can look past it.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered over others because of my general knowledge of the rules and stuff. and prior experience. Before, as a staff, I don't believe I had any issues with anybody, and my sits were *always* unbiased. Besides that, I feel like I'm a pretty fair and helpful person, and I would hope most people agree with me. I'm sure I need to re-learn some shit, but I am absolutely willing to and looking forward to (hopefully).
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position, and how long): I was an admin and gamemaster a while back (for Diverge), I believe it was a few months, 2-3 maybe?
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Never.
Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: * I would say I'm fairly well known. I built a pretty solid reputation as a crime char first, and then honestly expanded on that as a staff member. My char (The honorable Timm Caputo) unfortunately got his shit blown off recently and now has a... more embarrassing reputation, but prior to that, he was a lawyer, and I had good relations with most of the factions and quite a bit of the HC. After becoming staff, I made a PD char around the same time, and went into detectives as a corporal from patrol, and I'd say Maurice is equally as well known, honestly, I wasn't *too* harsh. was a part of many events, and has brought a lot of people together, I would hope they remember me.
What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: One of my favorite moments was early on my crime char, I was driving a Dodge Diplomat around with some Takahashi people and hit a barrel roll over a police stop without even knowing it was there. The absolute best part was messaging people afterwards with my POV, and getting their POV's since I wasnt aware they saw it. Was Spectacular.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: A few have before, I'm not sure if I need to ask again, but on my last application, I had Ace, Boosted, Dong, DopeAsRoe, and Lunar, Sean, Animator, Shauning, Calink, and Z6, along with a few others, I believe.

Problem Solving
Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take.
Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: I'd wait a minute to see if someone else claimed the ticket, if not I would swap over (aslong as im not in something active) and claim and handle the sit. If I was in an active scenario, just ask someone else to claim it before the guy leaves or something.
You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: I'd just passively gather everything that they've been doing, and reach out to someone higher or make a staff report. Along with asking anyone who's been on the receiving side for their input/evidence.
A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them, accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: I'd try and get someone else to handle it first, if it's not possible, and even though I know them, I'm gonna proceed normally. As much as I enjoy my buddies, nobody gets special treatment, twin. Any situation involving someone you know can seem like it's biased from an outside perspective, which is why it's honestly just better to ask someone else to handle the sit.
