What is your motivation/reason for applying?

I've been on the server for almost 2 years now. With summer coming up, I probably be spending most of my free time on Diverge. I always been curious about how things work behind the scenes, and I think becoming a staff member would be a great way to help the community. I've been part of this server for a while now and wanted to be part of the community in a different way whics is like a non-faction role. I finally hit the point where I don’t need to grind for cash all the time anymore at all, and I realized I can actually enjoy the RP. I have a lot of free time now instead of just grinding drugs/oils all day, and I wanna try becoming a staff member and try some new stuff along the way.

Why should you be considered over other candidates?

I think there are two main reasons that make me different from other candidates. First is the amount of time I can spend playing on the server. I usually play on Diverge for over 50 hours a week, so being active and handling tickets would not be a problem for me. Second thing is my timezone. There are times when staff might not be as available, especially very late or very early. Those dead hours are normal for me, so I believe I can help when support is needed the most.

Do you have any previous staffing experience?

Yes, I do. Back in 2017–2018, I had staff experience on Turkish DarkRP servers. I was a Helper on MoonRP and later an Admin on NarkozRP. Of course, compared to Diverge, those servers were much smaller and less serious, but they still gave me experience in dealing with players and handling staff situations.

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

Yes. To be honest, when I first joined Diverge, I did not fully understand how serious the server and its rules were. I acted immaturely at times, and because of that, I got banned more than once. Looking back at it now, I know I made mistakes. Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to improve myself by staying out of trouble, reading the rules again, and changing my behavior.

Would you say that you are well known in our community? What is your reputation, and what do other members think of you?

I would say some people know me in the community. If I have to honest, my reputation was not good in the past. I made a lot of mistake, and people had tons of reasons to think badly about me. And if I have to speak the truth, I gotta admit they were not wrong at all. I was bringing a lot of emotions and acting dumb, which was not necessary at all. But over time, I realized where I was wrong and tried to improve myself. I tried to stay active, respectful, and on my best behavior on the server, forums, and Discord. I hope people now see me as someone who has changed and matured, instead of an annoying guy.

What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?

Without any doubt, the racket wars of ’89 and ’90 were some of my best moments on Diverge. Besides that, becoming a made man under Le Mob French and even simple moments like playing golf with Governor Winston Yu were some of my favorite memories on the server.

Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names.

No. I didn’t want to bother any staff members or ask anyone for recommendations for my application.

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 Im off-duty, I would handle it like any other normal player will do and create a ticket. I would not involve myself at all, other than that ill provide any evidence if i have any. The only exception would be if there were no other staff members online, and the person was seriously disrupting the roleplay, such as mass RDM. In that kinda situation, I would step in and try to handle it until other staff become online.

You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too obvious. What do you do?

First, if the situation is not too serious, I would talk to the staff member privately and warn them about what I noticed. If they ignore it or continue doing the same thing, I would report the situation to a UA member and provide any evidence if i have.

A friend or faction member has a ticket against them for RDM or minging. You know they normally don’t act like this. How do you handle it? Does it create bias?

I always keep a clear line between friendships and business. If one of my friends or someone I know is breaking the rules, our friendship would not change how I act or how i handle the situation. I would deal with it fairly, based only on the evidence and what actually happened. If they were clearly in the wrong, I would take the correct decision and also talk to them afterward if its needed.
