Long Answer
Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum.

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: My primary motivation for applying is to protect the roleplay experience for not just myself, but for other dedicated players within the community. I've spent enough time in different factions, and around even more seasoned players to learn the different nuances that go with conducting RP within the 1980s underworld. I've enjoyed countless hours refining the way that I participate in this setting and I'd like to give exposure to what our community could look like if we just showed it a little care. Through the staff position I firmly believe I could make a significant effort towards this goal, and for those who aren't willing to put the effort to properly participate, I'd at least be able to send a message regarding what kind of environment we are trying to foster through issuing explanations and appropriate reprimands. 
 

Why should you be considered over other candidates?:  My mindset sets it plain and simple - if you're here for roleplay, then read the manual. I stand by the idea that if the rules are written plainly for all of us to see, then our personal margin for error is very thin. I have personal experience being a supervisor over my peers in real life and policing my own. Personal relationships with other players wouldn't cloud my judgement in a situation because I don't believe in jeopardizing my bottom line. I also stand firm on providing detailed explanations so that players would be able to move forward perhaps learning something from the situation. Most of all my pride will come last in any situation that calls for reviewing a players behavior against the rules that are written. I am not afraid to ask questions or elevate if something isn't clear to me, or if I feel like a situation may be over my head. I understand that the server guidelines provided are the first and ONLY opinion to be considered. 
 

Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): I was a junior staff member back in 2014 on GamerSalvation DarkRP, however that experience was short lived as the server soon shut down a month later. 
 

Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, I have one prior ban from my first month on Diverge for spam.

Flooding Rumour

Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?:  My reputation on Diverge is based on the characters I play rather than who I am on the pager. I am known to give careful consideration to the server global rules, and RP guidelines when engaging in scenarios, or teaching promising new players when welcomed into a faction. I am known to be heavy on /me actions in order to articulate and provide imagination on what's actually happening during an interaction. I have definitely done well to demonstrate to others that I put careful consideration into both our our immersion, and that I will take the time to help them create the experience that we're looking to see. I am also known to be heavily against low quality behavior, and I refuse to entertain the idea of participating in actions that disrupt the experience for others. Lastly, I am known to ask many questions if the way forward within RP is blurry, or if I don't understand something. 
 

What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: My favorite moment would have to be during my first time conducting a ceremony with my first faction. We had a massive flag up of members (20+) and several personnel were organized to make sure that everything went smoothly. Guards were posted out front, 2 were responsible for making sure no unauthorized comm devices were making it into the property, and radio was heavily used to communicate any suspicious behavior spotted. Once we made it in, it was nice to see several people sitting patiently and listening intently as the organization high commanders gave praise to those who worked hard, and issued promotion accordingly. It brought me joy to witness players coming together to immerse each other in the exact kind of scene that Diverge is trying to build.

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?: My assessment of the situation would depend on if I'm a victim or a passerby. Should I be on the tail-end of the RDM, I'd make a ticket in order to elevate the situation to another staff member, as I am an active roleplayer who's experience had just been disrupted, as well as to ensure a fair and objective ruling is provided from the sit. If I am a passerby, I would immediately go on duty to pull the individual, and present them with the same evidence I had gathered of the potential offense. From there I would inquire with the potential offender, as well as the victim as to their sides of the story. Lastly I would review the player's prior history as a player. If the evidence, and the open forum with both parties show that the situation was without a doubt an RDM, I would explain to both parties my verdict, and issue punishment based on the staff guidelines provided. Lastly I would let them know that if they feel I have overstepped any bounds, or made a judgement in error, that they have the option of disputing my verdict in the forums. 
 

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?: My course of action would to be to gather evidence on the individual in question and approach a staff member senior to me and the offender in rank. I wouldn't approach the offender personally as I wouldn't know the entire story, and it'd be up to a senior staff member to render judgement. 
 

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?: The way I would proceed knowing this would be to allow the opportunity, first and foremost, to go to another staff member so that it would be known without a doubt that the verdict of that sit was based SOLELY off of the information gathered within that sit. If staff availability was low, I would take it upon myself to conduct the sit in the same manner as my answer in question one. I wouldn't allow anybody who I know to hold our relationship over my head as I I would be serving the interests of server staff and upper administration first, and only.

I know Mingy from Odessa and he has been trying to be the best for himself and for others within the RP Experience on Diverge. I've been around Mingy for a while now and all I see from him is one of the funniest roleplayers around I've interacted with. The day when he flooded rumour snd got his first ban everyone was laughing because of the message he flooded and he immediately tried to stop the laughing due to his mature selfreflection and he direclty admitted he was wrong and yes everyone had their moment when they don't do everything by the rulebook but Mingy always has been trying to do everything right after that what he did. I've seen him around even when he is in a vehicle with friends or faction members when they are fucking around; He has always tried to keep them out of trouble and has always kept himself out of trouble. 

He has always been standing out as a hard and dedicated worker and roleplayer even if he is flying under the radar and even if he isnt known by alot of others. He is a great fit to the staff team

personally, I haven't known him for that long but I can say that I've known him long enough to know that he would be good as a staff member. He understands the rules very well and does a great job at roleplaying in the server, especially with the /me's, he's a nice, funny, and chill dude who is also mature and would be great in staff situations.

+1 I have known him since our first faction together (Odessa) and I can, without a doubt, say that he would make a great addition to the staff team. He's an exceptional problem solver and always assesses situations appropriately. He's also very great in terms of generating RP scenarios that not only enhance his experience but also those around him.

+1 Spring roll is one of the most down to earth people I know, his understanding of life to his funny side, this guy NEEDS to be in a place of representation within the server for what he has brought and continues to bring. From his amazing discernment to his ongoing track record, spring roll is bound to make it to the top.
