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 bring them both into the sit and check the logs as i can see that Dave advertised 'Carjack' i would explain to Tom that he has however as you are not allowed to steal NHS vehicles as per rule 'D12' i would explain to Dave that he has broken the rules if this is his first offence i would let him off with a verbal warning but explain he needs to reread the rules, but if its not a first offence i would warn him for breaking the rule
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 bring them both to the sit and ask William his intentions, and see if he advertised 'Hit Accepted' if he did and he has valid reasons to use the steps he did then i would return them both with no actions needed however if there was no valid reasons behind his intentions and there was proof of this then i would take action and punish if deemed necessary

- I would speak to James about building on a sidewalk, emphasizing that it's public space where people can walk freely. I would tell James that if he wants privacy, where he can choose who enters his building he should set up a base inside a building. I would also mention issuing James a punishment for "RDM" (Random Deathmatch) due to his killing of Garry for merely being on the path.
