-------------------------------------------------
What is your motivation/reason for applying?: *
I appreciate the uniqueness that Diverge has to offer and it always has me coming back. While I had been playing it spurts over the past year, I really dove in this time around and have been having a blast again. I wanted to be about to contribute to this project once again and display the qualities, many know of me to be true. I have a genuine enjoyment for helping people. Along with that, people have told me they like the way I handle staffing from previous experiences. This also gives me an opportunity to switch up the pace and doing something different while playing on the server. Finally, I have a handful of friends on the staff team and I think it would be an enjoyable experience to be working with people I am familiar with.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?:
My goal is to help other players in any way I can, so that they can better understand what is right and wrong. This allows everyone to fully enjoy what Diverge has to offer. I also want to handle staff reports and tickets in a proper way. This means investigating each situation thoroughly and taking appropriate action when there is a disagreement. I believe that it's important to get to the bottom of things and find fair solutions. In addition, I consider myself to be patient and calm when dealing with hostile individuals and groups. I try to act as a mediator, helping to resolve conflicts and find solutions to problems. Overall, my main aim is to contribute to a positive and enjoyable environment in Diverge. I want to help create a space where everyone can have a fun time with whatever players choose to do on the server. After all, we are here to play a video game and have fun. I am a dedicated player to this community and love the players within it. I believe it is important for players to see a friendly face when interacting with staff. During my tenure as staff across all the servers I've helped, I've had the pleasure in assisting in over ten thousand tickets. I am super active at hours where there is not normally staff online, before/after day time map switch. Along with being late night/early morning, I am usually on during prime hours (player peak). If given the chance I will absolutely take advantage to aid the server. This is what I enjoy and would only be right to aid once more.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):
Prometheus Networks - Administrator & Game Master - 1 Year (I know)
Revenant Networks - Administrator & Game Master - 6 Months (Launch Staff)
Revelation Networks - Administrator - 3 Months (Launch Staff)
Diverge Networks - Moderator - 3 Months
Various FiveM Servers Focusing on Serious Roleplay - 2 Years
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?:
Once, for abuse. The ban was appealed and I have been playing without punishment since March 2023.
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 that I am fairly known within the NutScript community as a whole, through my prior staff experiences. People also know characters of mine through Diverge, due to the hundreds of interactions with other players. Unless an in-character enemy of mine, I wouldn’t say that many have bad things to say about me, however you can’t make everyone like you. I try my best to hold myself to a high level of professionalism and understanding.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names:

Problem Solving
Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?:
Clip it, if other staff members are around take it up as a normal SIT, but if I’m the only one active/around and if I’m not directly involved I’ll take it into my own hands if absolutely necessary. Talk to the guy, have him explain his side of the story and see if what he says matches up at all with my clip. Then I would take the person he RDM’d and interview that person to collect their side of the story. Based on that outcome and by my best judgment I would punish the person accordingly.
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 would likely mention my observations to the staff member I suspect of abusing. Check and see if there's a misunderstanding, etc. If not, I will collect any evidence that I can and take it up the Staff Chain of Command, so it can be sorted appropriately.
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?:
There is always a possibility for anyone to call bias. First and foremost, I would talk to my friend and tell them that I think that is unacceptable behavior. Because I am associated with them my course of action would be to have another staff member take the ticket/weigh in on the decision to make sure that the outcome is as fair as possible.
