Hi, Yatty You confirmed this. This is against the rules and is considered prop abuse/minge. Considering the fact that you currently have a moderator application up and in your words put "a lot of hours into this server", you certainly knew better than to do this. Coco was warned for this. Twice. One for RDM and another for NLR, the argument that only you were the one who received punishment during this situation is simply not true. At the end of the day I again think that your warning should stay applied to your profile. I'm almost certain that considering your dedication to the server you knew better than to use props to your advantage in a roleplay situation and break the rules. It's only a warning, and I get it that this voids any chance of you receiving a moderator position on the server until you apply again, but I still feel like your punishment is necessary.

Pros Has moderator experience on the server Is very nice to others and has a great personality Application is nice Cons Not too much activity on the server lately Overall: a very strong +1

Hi Devyn The bans for the two players that were camera spamming have been readjusted for a week for Mass NLR as well. For your friend CoCo, during this time CoCo had repeatedly killed both of them. CoCo never made a single ticket. This here is the entirety of the combat interactions that occurred between CoCo and the other two players. Again, neither I or any of the mods online recall claiming or seeing a ticket made by CoCo except for when, during the sit, I had told him he had to make tickets for these types of situations instead of straight up killing them, and in response he made a ticket during the sit. That's all I have to say. - Joseph

FearRP is commonplace in many roleplay servers and is often discouraged and simply not allowed at all. However, in our server, FearRP is not mentioned anywhere in rules. Despite this, there are still some situation where it is treated to not be okay. For example, if you were to kill a police officer for simply walking towards you with a tazer out, you still cannot kill them until they attempt to taze or arrest you. To resolve this, I think FearRP should be explicitly stated in the rules to not be allowed. This would further discourage FairRP altogether and would stop it entirely. Without FearRP, situations would be more fair for others and would generally enhance the fun roleplay experience. I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback on this. - Joseph

a1) What is your in-game (RP) name? JosephKY a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile. https://steamcommunity.com/id/JosephKentucky/ a3) What is your Discord Tag? (ie: SomeUser#1234) Joseph-ky#3147 a4) What timezone are you located in? Eastern Time a5) How many in-game warns do you have? 0 a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why? No a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where? I have staffed on XenoRP before. I was hired on May 23rd, and was let go on August 8th of the same year due to two activity strikes. The reasons for these strikes were due to family matters that were out of my control and which I had to tend to. In the meantime, my personal issues have been resolved and I should have a significant amount of time available for the server again. Please answer these questions with your honest opinion. b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP? I simply wish to support the server and make it a safe and fun place for everybody. A DarkRP server with efficient and quality moderation is a necessity for its existence and for the player's enjoyment. b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator? In my time being a DarkRP moderator already, I have proven that I am able to face a situation head-on and resolve it in a way that is both fair and professional. I consider myself a great people-person and the opportunity to help others and resolve problems is an ability that I enjoy. Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions: c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished. RDM is the action when a player kills another person in game with no fair reason that accords with the rules. The way such an action should be resolved is dependent on the situation. If it was simply a mistake or done out of spite, the player should only receive a verbal or real warning. If the person who has RDM'd has done the same thing multiple times in a short timespan, the action may be considered repeated or mass RDM, which would result in a week or two week ban. RDA is the action where a player who is currently roleplaying as any civil protection class with the ability to arrest performs this action onto someone else with, again, no fair reason that complies with the rules. The way a punishment is decided for this is chosen the same way a punishment for RDM is chosen. c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated. NLR is the action where a player who had just died in-game for a fair reason returns to the same location, and may also proceed to carry out actions in accord to the situation that they had been in before their death. One example is if a hitman receives a hit on someone, and the person in question is successfully killed by the hitman. The person who had just died proceeds to return to the same location right after respawning, and kill the hitman in retaliation. (This is also RDM) Another instance where this may occur is if a thief has decided to do a raid onto an enemy player's base. During the raid, they die and the raid has failed. But instead of adverting "over", they return to the same location and continue their raid even though they have just died. c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence. Metagame is when a player considers non-rp circumstances within a situation inside of roleplay. One instance where this may occur is if a base owner sees in OOC chat that a player is discussing plans to raid their base. In retaliation, the base owner locates him and kills him inexplicably, calling it "self-defense". Another example of this happening is if a player decides to roleplay as a police officer. They immediately see a thief who is just minding their own business, and they arrest them right away due to their job role. Job roles are not considered a part of roleplay and should not be considered. Please explain how you would handle each of these situations: d1) You see a higher up is abusing their powers to the highest severity, how do you react? I immediately contact their supervisor and/or the server owner. d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation? I jail and mute the mass RDMer in a safe location so that they cannot cause anymore trouble, and then proceed to finish the sit. After the sit is complete, I confront the mass RDMer and, assuming they have no fair argument for their actions, ban them for two weeks. d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets. I tell the two players that the rules state that they cannot build on the streets. I then kindly ask them to delete their props, and also inform them that they can become the hobo class and build on the sidewalks if they want to. I also refer them to where they can read the rules.

Hi I looked into this myself and I found that Yang and another witness have said that the ULX poll received much positive support for your demotion. Please keep in mind that neither of these polls were votes, only a poll. The rules do say that the mayor is allowed to be demoted from their role if they fail to meet the public's best interest. This was proven to be the case with both of the polls and with chat logs showing disapproval of your management of the city. I feel like your demotion was justified and that Yang (dead body uwu) did not do anything wrong. Please keep in mind that I am a moderator and am not authorized to take any course of action involving this occurrence, I am only providing my opinion of what happened.

Reply 2 I talked to my administrator and he says that this ban will be 5 days. The 5 day ban does not begin when the 3 day ban expires. Meaning, you are not banned for 8 days, just 5. - Joseph

Hi, Michael Yesterday, me and another moderator had a conversation and he asked me to ban you because you were allegedly playing inappropriate videos in the movie theater. I banned you for 3 days, but they insisted on doing it for 5 days. He said banning you again wouldn't add up and it would just overwrite the current one. I took his word for it and banned you again, believing this. I will make sure this discrepancy is cleared up and your ban will only remain for 5 days rather than 8. If you believe that this ban is unjust either way, please message me and I will refer you to the moderator that asked me to ban you. - Joseph

Application is well written and I've never had an issue with you in game. I would like to see you on the staff team. +1

Your application is well written and you have shown a good amount of time on the server, however, you were recently warned twice for RDM. Due to that, I cannot give this application a good rating. -1

At times when a new mayor is needed when there are many players on, the voting for the new mayor is extremely chaotic and annoying, tons of vote windows showing up and blocking your screen. So, my solution for this is to introduce a new election system where only a maximum amount of people can enter the race and the vote is held only one time. Doing this will make choosing a new mayor much more manageable and easy. Below I've attached an image of what this may look like

Is this an actual complaint?

Hey This was an absolute mistake on my part. I'm having someone unban you as soon as possible. So sorry about this, it will never happen again.

There are times that the laws need to be automatically reset, whether it be the mayor resigning, leaving the server, etc..., where it does not. This is often problematic because the laws still apply until a new mayor is elected and changes the laws. The laws should always be their default when there is no mayor. The laws do automatically reset if: The mayor is assassinated by a hitman The laws do not automatically reset if: The mayor resigns/changes jobs The mayor leaves the server The mayor is banned/kicked What do you all think? Should extra automatic measures like this be added?

Awesome suggestion. Pets are awesome. +1
