-------------------------------------------------
Long Answer
Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 3 Sentences Minimum.

What is your motivation/reason for applying?:  *

• I really enjoy the community and the immersive roleplay scenarios that the Diverge player base creates. I want to use my time in-game to give back to the community and be apart of the team that ensures that every player enjoys a rewarding and fair experience. My motivation stems from wanting to help maintain the environment that made me enjoy roleplaying on the server.

Why should you be considered over other candidates?:  * 

• If chosen to be apart of the staff team, I would make my goal to help every player without judgement or bias, no matter the issue. I will always provide absolute fairness in sits, and never abuse any of the mechanics that come with being a staff member. I will utilize my time spent in the server dedicated to ensuring that players are following the rules and that situations are swiftly, appropriately, and fairly dealt with. I believe that I am very cordial and easy to speak with. I have a calm demeanor and the capability to make decisions under pressure.  

Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): 

• Prominent DarkRP - Owner - Two years. A fun project with friends where we hosted a small anarchy DRP server. Had about thirty consistent players at peak time.  
• Troopers Paradise SWRP - Developer - One year. Another fun little project with some friends.
• Inter SWRP - Administrator - Two months - I was invited to be a staff member, server didn't last long.

Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?:

• I was banned in 2021, and 2022. My First ban was for LTARP, where I left the server shortly following a PK.  The second ban was for item transfer. I do understand that I was in the wrong in the past and I was appropriately reprimanded as such. Since my two pervious bans, I have strived to adhere to the rules.  As of recent, I have only been given a note once.                     

Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?:  *

•  I would 100% say that I am not a widely known person in the community. I have made some friends in the PD and some friends that I represent as a lawyer when they get into legal trouble. I believe that if you asked any of these people that I am acquainted with, they would say that I am a solid guy and a good RPer. I know that they would have nothing or little to say negatively about myself. Although I am not necessarily known, I interact with a lot of the players on the server very regularly either on my police character, or as an employee at Rockefellers. I think that other community members would think of me just as a normal guy with nothing negative to say. 

What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: 

• My favorite recent moment was the kidnapping and recovery of Commissioner Snoop in the night club. But my favorite all time moment was the time when my friends and I hosted illegal street races which resulted in a huge police chase. 

Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: No.
-------------------------------------------------
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?: 

• Record a clip of the incident, and make a report to the on-duty staff like a regular player. If no staff are available in the server, I would gather further information and make a player report on the forums. If the player is continuing to RDM other players, and a report is made, then I would take action against him. Although I have the player in a sit, I would not reprimand the player for RDMing me. 

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 gather sufficient evidence (specifically video) against the fellow staff member and proceed to submit a staff report against them. I would also notify upper administration. Even though the abuse isn't "too noticeable", it is still staff abuse however. 

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 would proceed with an unbiased and professional stance on the situation even though the ticket is against my friend. If the evidence is sufficient or if I personally witnessed my friend RDM'ing and minging, I would take the appropriate course of action against them regardless of our in-character relationship or friendship. I would not allow slack just because they are my friend. It would be easy to allow my friend to get by with minimal or no punishment, but that would be wrong and considered abuse.

I found this information in the FAQ in the guides and information threads. 

You can see here that I previously had a special character in a previous steam name.
