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

What is your motivation/reason for applying?: 

A lot of times when I am on the server, usually late at night, I see people needing staff for various reasons including myself, and there's not anyone on to take their tickets, or other staff members are in an RP situation. I hope that if I'm accepted I'll be able to assist with any backlog of tickets. It doesn't hurt that a majority of the staff members I've come into contact with are decent people that want the best for the server as well.  

Why should you be considered over other candidates?: 

First off, I don't want to belittle anybody applying, or try and prove that I am "better" than them in any way. I simply believe that with my plethora of experience on the server, and in the MafiaRP game mode as a whole I will be able to bring my experience to assist new players, potentially even teaching long standing players something they didn't know before. I have a genuine drive to help the server as a staff member, and have a strong belief that I would be able to help any player with any questions or concerns that they have. 

Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): none worth note

Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No

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

I would consider myself decently well known amongst members of the community. I would say that people most likely have a mixed opinion of me due to the factions that I play. I do not believe that anybody would have a genuine dislike for me, unless they just purely hate everybody in my faction. 

What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?:

My favorite moment that I've personally had on diverge was probably the weber riots. The pure chaos that culminated from that whole situation was just baffling, and quite honestly hilarious.

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

I'd clip the interaction and make a staff ticket like any regular player on the server.

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'd clip everything possible, when I see them abusing, what they're doing, listing the rule breaks alongside each clip, and make a UA ticket to get the staff member punished properly.

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'd take the ticket, listen to both sides as there is no room for bias in a staff situation regardless of relationship, ask for any clips, depending on  what the clips say etc I would handle it like any other staff sit, just because we're friends doesn't mean you get a free ride to break the rules.

After a full review of this staff application, the candidate demonstrates a level of maturity, familiarity, and self-awareness that is appropriate for a moderation position within a Garry’s Mod RP environment. Their tenure on the server, dating back to May 2021, combined with a substantial amount of recorded playtime, indicates long-term engagement rather than short-term interest. This longevity is an important factor when evaluating reliability and understanding of server culture, norms, and recurring issues.

The applicant’s stated motivation for applying appears genuine and well-reasoned. Rather than focusing on authority, power, or personal benefit, the candidate identifies a recurring operational issue—namely, ticket backlogs during late-night hours—and expresses a desire to help alleviate that problem. This suggests an awareness of server needs beyond their own gameplay experience. Additionally, their acknowledgment of positive interactions with existing staff members reflects an understanding of the collaborative nature required for effective moderation.

In terms of suitability compared to other candidates, the applicant does not attempt to elevate themselves by discrediting others, which is a positive indicator of temperament. Their emphasis on experience within the MafiaRP game mode and their willingness to assist both new and long-standing players suggests they would be capable of handling common player questions as well as more nuanced RP-related disputes. The lack of formal prior staffing experience is noted.

The scenario-based responses further reinforce this assessment. The candidate consistently prioritizes evidence collection, proper reporting channels, and impartiality. Their response to off-duty rule-breaking reflects an understanding of staff boundaries, while their approach to handling suspected abuse by fellow staff members—particularly those of equal or higher rank—demonstrates an appropriate respect for process and accountability. Most importantly, their stance on handling tickets involving friends or faction members shows a clear recognition of potential bias and a firm commitment to treating all cases equally, which is critical for maintaining trust in staff decisions.

um all in all +1 solid dude would do really good.
