When did you first join the server: ~February, 2024
Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): "Your play time is: 1mo 2w 6d 11h 34m"
Time Zone: Central Standard Time
How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: Most of the time I'm on, ballpark a couple to a few hours minimum
Have you read the rules?: No, I've been learning as I go with most Gmod servers I've played since it's come out, most of it's the same shit, just some technicalities to learn which I have in the time I've been here. All in all don't be retarded and you'll be pretty solid.
Do you have a working microphone?: Yes
Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes
Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: Very familiar, some might say I've worked on the script itself back in the day.
Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes
-------------------------------------------------
Long Answer
Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum.
What is your motivation/reason for applying?: It's rare for a NutScript server to have more than 20ish players, let alone fuckin 120. The only 2 instances I've seen well-made servers backed by a decent community has been this one and CGC, and as I told Pendred around when I first joined, no pun intended, but the capabilities they've pushed NS to do is fucking nuts. I love this script, it forces people in a way to actually roleplay and not just hit a button on their keyboard and get a buy menu to get anything they want like in DarkRP. As someone who's played this game since it's come out, I essentially grew up on PERP back in the day. People actually roleplayed, they communicated with each other, 10% of the Gmod community were xbox live shittalkers at the time, obviously since then we're lookin at 80%+ of players who just fuck around, mass rdm, act as internet tough guys, shit's been disappointing until my buddy Hitman showed me this server and the kinds of stuff you can do, giving it an oldschool vibe from my time back in the day. I've been playing fairly religously the last few months I've been here and I like what I'm seeing. There's much potential and unlike most servers out there, the dev(s) here actually know what they're doing and come up with original ideas unlike 90% of servers that just buy Gmodstore addons and slap them together and call it a server; that's something I can appreciate and wouldn't mind dedicating my time to to assist with the riff raff that they keep at bay so they can work on more important things for the server.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?: Other than small technicalities I might have to pick up staff-wise I pretty much already know the plytransfer, charset(whatever) commands, etc. If most of those are the ones that used, not trying to sound cocky, but I kinda already know what command to use in situations. I'd need minimal training with how to conduct myself in staff sits because it's pretty sporadic based on which staff took your ticket, so a handbook would be sick so I can make sure I do shit by the book. As stated in a couple of my questions too, I have a more logical approach to most situations, could be a benefit having someone level headed that isn't going to act on emotion and fuck up the sit.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):
HellZone's PERP (All staff positions up to what Canadian's position would be over there)
NutScript's Community Discord (Lead mod since June 6th, 2017. Fun fact: I literally created my discord just for that position, before that I was a big TeamSpeak Stan but ya know, shit changes.)
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, maybe a couple prop abuse notes, but that's it.
Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: Probably not well known, like I said before most people are genuine xbox live shit talkers I typically just ignore them, because most of the people "well-known" are the always-angry people shit talking others over stupid shit that doesn't matter, and I don't really participate in that because I have to do most of it IRL with my job. My position in one of the bigger crime families probably has gotten my name thrown around here or there. I've been in and out of different families from CCNG, to Lucchese, French / Lavs, China, Japan, Rockefellers, etc. Most people know me by my character names, but overall I haven't had any complaints directly told to me so I'd say I'm doing alright.
What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Aside from meeting the people in the family mentioned above and building relationships with them, Lie's PK reason on how they found "a polish man face down in the water floating with the waves" was funny as fuck, and then when a Lav got PKd they physgun'd him on a flying carpet playing sand-people music was pretty fun to watch, it's little things like that that keep me interested, because I can't wait to see what shit I'm gonna see next.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Toasty, Logane
-------------------------------------------------
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?: Make a ticket like anyone else unless I'm the only staff on the server (rare occurrence anyway) I could maybe ask a UA or Papa Pendy for permission to take my own ticket.
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?: Tell him to stop being a prick and then send whatever info up the food chain.
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?: It would generally count as bias, but like the first question, have another staff take it or ask for permission if I'm for whatever reason, the only one available.
