-------------------------------------------------
Long Answer

What is your motivation/reason for applying?:

I would like to apply because I have come to really enjoy the community on this server. I also usually have lots of spare time in-between doing things on my characters. I would really like to help out because when I am on sometimes tickets do not get taken for a while, especially later at night when a lot of issues happen. I am also interested in doing staff work because I have heard good things from my friends that are current or former staff members. All in all, I just really want to help people out and make sure everyone is having a good time.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?:

I think I should be considered over other candidates because of my activity on the server and how long I have been around. Like I mentioned before I am usually on all day on weekdays and even longer on weekends, so I would like to do something productive and helpful to other members of the server during that time overlap. I also really just want to help when no other staff are around or just not taking tickets. I also hope I can learn fast and take tickets as much as possible.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):

I do not have any experience in other servers.
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?:

Yes, I have been banned 3 times in the past, the most recent was a Prop Abuse and NITRP ban for 3 days on 12/6/26 by Alamara555. At that time, I was thinking on quitting the server and not coming back, but during the ban I rekindled some relationships with people who play and eventually came back to playing full time. I regret doing it because it is a pointless stain on my record. The ban before that was on 7/22/25 for 12 hours, NITRP, Minge, and Cop Bait by Dr.Hax. I received the ban on a former oil character of mine named Johnny Ballbouncer, I was hanging out with a group of friends and was in the passenger seat of a vehicle that was constantly baiting cops and just causing tons of issues. I learned to be more considerate to the other players who don't find this type of thing funny and learned to be more serious overall. My ban I received longest ago was on 3/31/25 for Mass VDM by Actual Sauerkraut for a day. This ban was definitely one of the worst ones on my record. This ban took place shortly after I got pked from my first faction after coming back from not playing for two years, was still pretty fresh and just acting dumb in general. I believe I have 3 notes, but I do not remember what for.
Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?:

I do not think I am that well known, some people may know me for my cop char or my former oil char Johnny Ballbouncer. I feel like my time spent on that char may ruin my reputation a bit, but I have tightened up my act since then. I hope that I can get a chance to become more known and liked in the community.
What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: I loved participating in the racket events of '89 and '90. I also enjoyed watching the Commission vs UA war.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Boosted, 21schmeckles, Lunar, Yugi.

Problem Solving

Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?:

If they aren't in my faction, I will clip it and take the ticket and hand out the punishment as necessary. If they are a part of my faction, I would avoid the ticket in general as bias could be suspected and ask another staff member to try to deal with it.
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 evidence and clips and make a staff report.
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 take the ticket because no matter if it is a member of my faction or not, rdming or any other kinds of acts that break the rules should be punished no matter what and dealt with accordingly without bias.
