Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.

b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP? Currently I have been playing on Xeno for a while and happen to stay up late in the night interacting with the active community. I would like to help keep the server in a stable condition, especially at times such as 4am where the environment seems to resemble a wild wasteland of RDMing. What overall keeps me playing is the community and although it has its assortment of bad apples those should be properly dealt with to protect the quality of the server. 

b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator?

I believe a core aspect would be patience, if I were given a particularly difficult situation I would not attempt to rush the outcome in order to prevent the degradation of the quality of administration given. 

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished.

RDM : “Random Deathmatch” is when a player attacks or kills a person without a legitimate RP reason. An example of RDM is a Hitman opening fire on people in the streets with none of them being active targets of course. For the more severe cases, like Mass RDM, need to be sat down and banned temporarily so that hopefully they will cool off and play in a way that everyone enjoys. As for lighter offenses, such as a single offense, a concise and polite sit is required to work out the situation and to assign a warning to hopefully resolve the situation.

RDA : “Random Arrest” This offense is done whenever a job with the capability of jailing people abuses the arrest feature to arrest them unfairly relating to RP. A situation in which this would be an offense is police/swat arresting someone random on the streets. Like the aforementioned punishments for severe RDM a temporary ban mass RDA will include the same punishment of a temporary ban for a few weeks, hopefully allowing the player to cool off. In minor cases RDA will be similar in terms that they will receive a warn, but they will also be demoted to allow them to take a break from that abused role for a while. 

c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated.

NLR: “New Life Rules” : This term refers to the conservation of RP with the idea in mind that the player must play as if they have no memory of their former life. As a result of this they must not do something to break this element such as returning to a raid that they were killed at in order to avenge their past life as this information should be inaccessible to them RP wise. Players can only return back to their base once the raid has concluded either by time limit, an adverted end, or clear desertion of the property, like the raider running around in a public area. One of the core rules of NLR is the 2 minute rule of not returning to the place of death like the past stipulations preserve the idea of roleplay.

c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence.

Metagame is when a person uses data that is not RP data (such as a killfeed or OOC) and applies that to a RP situation. An example of this could be a warrant placed on a player because they OOCed that they had illegal items inside in order to get raided by the police. 

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?

At first I would garner a good deal of evidence (recordings and screenshots) to send to a higher staff member to properly remove the toxic staff member. I would probably ask them politely to stop and if they made a considerable effort to reconcile with those affected I may not pursue further action as long as the act is not carried out again. 

d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation?

I would ask the current sit members in a polite manner to give me a moment to temporarily deal with the offender (jail them off to the side) and return to resume the sit. Afterwards I would properly deal with the mass RDMer in another sit with the previously stated punishment of a few weeks ban after assessment. If they LTAP during the 1st sit I would automatically temp ban through their steam ID unless they return before I can deal with their actions. 

d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets.

I would try to kindly state to them that despite the server being empty I cannot allow building in the streets and try to convey my understanding for the act. I would offer an alternative of building in a lot so that future members on the server will not be blocked by their structures and this would still allow them to enjoy creative freedom in that designated space.
