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

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: 

 

I think there are a lot of reasons why someone would want this position. There are many moving parts, but I believe the main point of being a staff member is to make the everyday player’s experience better. You don’t need to cater to every desire, but as long as you are willing to help, it can greatly improve how players see the server. I have always enjoyed being staff on the servers I’ve worked for. I won’t lie, it has been a little while since I last held a staff role, and I want to get back in the saddle again. This server often has a high player count, and at times it can feel like there aren’t enough staff members on. While quality always matters more than quantity, I believe I can offer both by being an active and reliable staff member. Sometimes I like to step away from roleplay when I start to feel burnt out. Being able to switch to staff work helps keep me motivated and involved, and it gives me another way to support the community. I am here to help the server in whatever capacity I can, and I truly believe I could do some good as a moderator.

Why should you be considered over other candidates?: 

I think I should be considered over others because I genuinely want to help the server. I don’t want to be staff for the powers or to be in control. I don’t want to cause issues or problems. I want to fix them and make sure those problems don’t become even bigger. I have seen a lot in my years of roleplay and staffing, not only in MafiaRP but also in other servers and communities I’ve been part of. I’m not saying I can solve every problem, but I will be the person who sits there, gives it my full attention, and does everything I can to fix it. My dedication is something I’m confident in. When I commit to something, I put my full effort into it, and that’s something I’ve done in most of my previous staff positions. I believe my experience also gives me an advantage. While I don’t count my past management positions as perfect successes, I don’t think I did badly either. I could have done better, and if I had been more mature at the time, some situations would have been easier. However, something good came from those experiences. I learned how to better handle issues and staff-related situations.

At the end of the day, I may be more experienced than some, but everyone can be good, even if it’s their first time. Although that doesn’t apply to me, I truly believe anyone who puts in the effort and is loyal and trustworthy deserves a place on the staff team. I believe I can be someone who fits well into that team.

 

Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Diverge Administrator - Around 3-4 months.

Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, I have not

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 everyone who knows me and or has any encounter with me knows I am serious and I know what I am doing. I dont think anyone hates me. I have a lot of credibility in the community between the factions I have been in and the faction I have lead in the past. 

Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: N/A

-------------------------------------------------
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?: Well, I would make sure I recorded the encounter, seeing as Im off-duty I dont think I should be the one who takes the ticket. I would make a ticket that someone got RDMed and make sure I give the evidence to the staff member to take the ticket. Then I would let them handle it as it does not concern me staff-wise.

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?: Well, Evidence is the best witness. so I would make sure I am recording encounters that I see and make sure that I have enough to then send to a higher-up. I would make a staff report on the forums, depending on what the higher-ups want. Make sure to not accuse them or anything just gather the evidence. 

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?: Well, there is really nothing I can do I would not take this ticket, as in my opinion, it would be some sort of bias, even if the evidence is against them I would want someone else to look into it. The most I would do is tell the staff member, whoever is taking the ticket, that he normally does not break this kind of rule, and to just look into it a little deeper to make sure the decision is correct. But ultimately it's up to the staff member who is in charge of the sit.
