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

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: * I was a staff member a few months ago but had to take an unfortunate LOA which led to me getting removed from staff for inactivity. I'm just now getting back to the server as of yesterday and have the free time to play Gmod. Staffing on this server was probably the most fun part in my opinion just because of how many people you meet and it can really test your patience. I always find myself coming back to this server, the community reels you back in. The Community might be absolutely infuriating at times but it has more ups than downs.

Why should you be considered over other candidates?: * I think I should be considered over other applicants because I have already been staff on here. Although it may have been a short period due to IRL circumstances with time I still made an effort to hop on before I was told I was allowed to put a LOA. On my short time as staff I saw almost every scenario unfold and proved I was able to make the right decisions. I also have an UNHOLY amount of playtime on the server, which has led me to see countless scenarios play out and unfortunately be in scenarios myself when it comes to reports and rule breaking. I showed I was willing to put dedication into the server and wish I was able to stay a member of the staff team. I have sorted out all of my IRL things that led to my inactivity previously and hope to be able to moderate the server again.

Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Yes, On this server and it was only for 3 weeks I believe. I was a Moderator.

Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: Yes, Permanent banned forever ago for item transferring.

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 decently well known in the community. I've been around long enough to meet countless people. I've been in nearly every faction that has been in NYC as well as Miami. As for reputation I can't speak on others behalf's, But personally I would say it's alright. Obviously over time of being in the server you will make a handful of friends as well as enemies. I prefer to keep every beef ICly and to one character but some people tend to make a biased if they recognize your voice and dislike your other character.

What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/ivuW1bCCGukQfIURX/d1337PdRjD8P?invite=cr-MSxLM2ssMjE4NTAwODY3LA Still this masterpiece

Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Nope

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?: Nothing unless the person makes a ticket, Often times when someone is RDM'd I notice it's just two friends messing around or there was more to the story than what I saw. Once they make a ticket investigate the evidence provided and get explanations from both sides.

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?: If it's something small not affecting anyone or the server itself I would simply tell them we aren't supposed to be doing what they're doing, If it persists I would make a UA report and provide valid evidence as well as the clip of me telling them to stop to show they knew they were doing wrong and still continued.

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?: Let another staff member take the ticket, If there's no other staff members online or the ticket is up for to long I would take the ticket going in with as little bias as possible. Obviously look through the evidence and get information from both parties. If the person did wrong and broke the rules they would be punished accordingly and get the same punishment anyone else would.
I've proven myself on this when I had to ban the homie Jmoorsey after he had RDM'd someone by accident. Even if accidental it is a RDM.
