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

What is your motivation/reason for applying?:  My motivation for applying is that I've been very much connected with this server for the past couple of months. I've also noticed that during non-peak hours, the time for a ticket to be accepted by an admin is very slow. This has resulted in some frustration between peers of mine, and including myself. I also am very eager to become a staff member.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?:  I believe that my ability to exclude bias during important decisions makes me viable for staff. I also don't really have an ego, and I am very reflective of my own decisions at times. I also am involved in a lot of aspects of Diverge, being underboss in a criminal faction, a former Senior Officer in PD, and as a current Public Defender. With this, I can provide a good general insight on all things surrounding the server.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):
No previous staffing experience.
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?:
Unfortunately, I have been banned once on the server for Middle manning a money transfer. However, I have grown from this idiotic mistake, and have read the rules countless times since then.
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 am moderately known in the community, but not fully known, with my reputation being a fun and outgoing person who can get serious in times where seriousness is needed. Most of PD and Lawyers will recognize me as PD Craig Hamilton, and most of my faction and other criminally-minded chars will recognize me as Jackson Kinahan. Overall, I think my reputation is mostly positive, as I try to be as cool as possible with everyone.
What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?:
There's too many to chose from, so Ima give my top 3 (no particular order)

1) Becoming Underboss in a criminal faction. That was really cool for me and was a reflection on how far I came with them.

2) Alien invasion event at like 3 am. Was very cool mowing down aliens.

3) The February racket event. It brought a lot of people close and I had a lot of fun during it.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: 
-------------------------------------------------
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?:

If I am not busy with roleplay matters, I will take the ticket immediately. If I am busy, I will make sure to keep an eye on the tickets to see if any other staff takes it. Once any important matters are concluded and the ticket is still open, I will take it, or in the case of something else, I will ask them to remake the ticket.
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?:

To begin with, I would attempt to chat with them privately about their abuse in a manner that is polite and respectful. This is because if I were to immediate jump the gun and report him, there could be some vital knowledge that would result in the abuse of power, and I would look dumb for reporting it. Nonetheless, I would explain what I observed and ask for their feedback, reasoning, or further insight on what I saw. If the issues persist without any clear deductive reasoning behind it, I would bring it up to higher staff, following the protocols that are in place. 
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?:

Rules are rules. If you break them, you are to be warned/punished, no matter who it is. However, to reduce bias, I would first see if any fellow staff members could take the ticket. If it's just me on, then I will try my best to respond to the ticket in the most unbiased manner I can, strictly looking at the rules to see if any rule break had occurred. However, if the personal connection is too strong, a conflict of interest would occur, which would constitute bias. If this happens, then I would try to look for another staff member to respond to the ticket.
