Section B: Definitions and critical thinking:
2.1: Define RDM and provide two examples:
RDM Stands for Random Death Match, and is when you kill somebody without a valid in-game RP reason.
An example of this, could be: Jane drives up to Joe, steps out of her car, equips a weapon and kills
Joe. This is RDM, because Jane had no valid reason to kill Joe. Another example of RDM, is: Jane
randomly comes up to Joe and stabs him for calling her an idiot in ooc. This is RDM, as calling
somebody an idiot is not a valid reason to kill them, additionally this was said in /ooc, meaning
it could not be used in game even if it was shown that there could've been a valid reason to kill
them, if it was used in-game, instead of ooc.
2.2: Define metagaming and provide two examples:
Metagaming is using out-of-character information in-character. An example of this would be: Jane
says in /ooc "BTW, Joe has a gun on him". Then, Joe is approached and weapon searched for suspicion
of weapons. This is metagaming, because the "suspicion" was obtained from /ooc, rather than an
in-game source. A second example of metagaming would be: Joe types in /ooc,"I just got stabbed
by Jane". Then, a PD member arrests Jane for Grevious Bodily Harm. This would be classed as
metagaming, because the PD member got the information that Jane stabbed Joe from an out-of-character
source.
2.3: Define FearRP and provide two examples:
FearRP stands for Fear-Roleplay, FearRP is valuing your characters life, as if you couldn't respawn.
An example of FearRP would be: Jane along with her friend Jackal mug Joe, pointing 2 guns towards him.
Joe then attempts to pull his gun out to defend himself. This would be classed as FearRP, because Joe
had 2 guns pointed towards him, outnumbering him. Another example of this would be: Joe is approached
by Jane, and mugs him. Joe then attempts to run away without having a weapon before the encounter.
This would be classed as FearRP, because Joe did not have a weapon prior to the mugging, therefore,
Joe is under FearRP, as stated in rule:
B3: "FearRP applies either when you have no weapons in your possession and are being threatened with a firearm"
2.4: What is cop baiting and provide two examples:
Cop baiting is getting into trouble with the police on purpose, for no reason. An example of this would be:
Jane goes up to a PD vehicle, stabs the tyres, and runs away. This is cop baiting, as Jane had no valid
RP reason to stab the PD vehicle's tyres. Another example of cop baiting would be: Jane has a vehicle,
and is constantly ramming into other PD vehicles, over and over again, being obvious it was not an accident.
This would be classed as cop baiting, as again, Jane had no valid RP reason to ram into the PD vehicles.
2.5: What is discrimination and provide two examples:
Discrimination is treating somebody differently based on protected characteristics. These include: Race,
Gender, Sexual Orientation, Disabilities etc. An example of discrimination would be: Jane is constantly
making fun of Joe, for being gay, making homophobic remarks. This would be classed as Discrimination,
because Jane has made fun of Joe, just because of his sexual orientation, which is a protected characteristic,
and against the rules. Another example of discrimination would be: Jane is repeatedly making racist remarks
to members of the community, saying things like: "Shut up, stupid N#####". This would be classed as discrimination,
because again, it's a protected characteristic and against the rules.
Please answer the following questions as if you were a Trial-Mod:
2.6: Dave has adverted carjack, stolen an NHS members vehicle and drives around the city crashing into multiple parked cars. Tom reports him for failing to advert carjack. What steps will you take to resolve this sit?
I would add them both to a sit, and explain that it is against the rules to carjack an NHS vehicle, and explain to
Tom that it isn't FTA, as you can't steal NHS vehicles in the first place. I would check Dave's previous warns,
and if he had no prior warns for stealing NHS vehicles, I would let him off with a verbal warning. If he did
have warns pior to this sit, I would issue Dave a warning for Crimes against the NHS under B15-NHS :
"You may not commit any crime against NHS personnel."
2.7: Joe has reported William for killing him for no reason with a car bomb. William (Hitman) states that he had a valid reason as it was for a hit. William has also killed three other people with car bombs. What steps will you take to resolve this sit?
I would pull them both into a sit, and check the hit logs to see if there actually was a hit on Joe.
If there was, I would explain to Joe that there was a hit on him, so it wasn't RDM. Additionally,
I would tell William to be more careful when using car bombs for hits, as they have a big range and
can accidentally kill other people in the process. If it wasn't a hit, I would ban William for
MassRDM, with the appropriate punishment times.
2.8: Garry has reported James (Gun dealer) for killing him for no reason. James has a base on the sidewalk and has openly advertised it as a gun shop server wide. James states that Garry was not permitted inside his shop. James has killed four people in the last three minutes. What steps will you take to resolve this sit?
I would firstly check James's base to see if it is on the sidewalk. I would then pull them both into a sit,
and explain to James that he cannot build his base on the sidewalk. I would then explain to garry that
KOS signs aren't required, and you can kill anyone in your base uninvited. I would then tell James to move
his base inside, as only hobos are allowed to build outside.
2.9: Harry as a Commander in the Police is hosting a meeting he adverts “PD meeting | Starting 5m | Important topics | No major crimes”. Bobby adverts “Base raid” and still proceeds to raid a base despite Harry warning him that raiding is considered a major crime. What steps will you take to resolve this sit?
I would pull Bobby into a sit, and explain that there is a PD meeting going on, so you cannot do any major crimes,
which base raids are considered a major crime. I would check Bobby's previous warn history and if he no previous
warns relating to this situation, I would issue him a verbal warning, as he might've not seen the messages in chat.
If Bobby had previous warns relating to this situation, I would warn bobby for B14 No major Crimes, and tell Bobby
to refund the base owner if any money was gained from the situation.
Section C: Questions
3.1: Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I think you should choose me to become a staff member, because I can work well under pressure, I don't give up easy at things,
(as you can tell with the application #4) and I know how to properly maintain my attitude, to not let my emotions get in the
way of things.
3.2: If you were in a situation you did not know how to handle what would you do?
I would first check the staff handbook. If I could not find my answer there, I would ask another staff member on their opinion.

3.4: List three strengths that you have that will help you staff:
Activity
Determination
Discipline

Parents are Separated

for me wanting to become staff have stayed the same, I'll try and change it up a little,
but the reason is more or less the same. (This is not copied from my other application btw)
I want to be a staff member, because I enjoy keeping the peace. I've changed from a minge who just wanted to
be an idiot and ruin other player's experiences on the server to somebody who actually enjoys the server,
and wants to see a change. I also think that in the early hours when no staff are on, way too many rules are being
broken, and I am on in the early mornings which shows I've seen it first-hand, and it can also help combat the rule breaking.
