a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where?

In a few small discords I used to moderate, but they have very low member count and has since become inactive/disbanded. This is a great opportunity for some new experience in GMOD though!

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.
b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP?

When I play GMOD, which is pretty often on weekdays and early on weekends, I find the only server I can play is Xeno. After nearly 100 hours of playtime, Xeno is the only server I can find that draws me in with a friendly community and a great moderation team, making it feel more like a safe space in video games where I can relax and leave the competitive side of games behind. 

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

I think I have a strong understanding of the rules and because of some comments and consideration on my end due to an older application, I understand more about how the server works and how I can play a helpful role into the server as someone who can deal with tickets while other mods are offline. (here if you didnt see, I was denied for acting like a child when moderators weren't around, and have since learned from that:

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

RDM is Random Deathmatch, which is the action of killing a player with an invalid roleplay reason or in a way the does not abide by server rules. RDA is Random arrest, which can be any time a player is arrested without breaking the pre-made rules or the mayor's custom rules (those that are allowed and just, of course). The punishments for both of these are the same for me, simply bringing both players involved (the one who made the ticket and the offender) and deciding if it was breaking the rules. After arriving at my decision, I would ask the ticket maker whether to do a normal or verbal warn, and what they decide goes. However, if the same person RDA/RDMs again within a certain time period, I would warn them normally no matter what the ticket maker asks, since it is a second recent offense.

c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated.
New life rule, or "NLR" for short, is when a player is killed, all of their past property, experiences, knowledge, and relations are temporarily voided for two minutes, or potentially longer depending on certain situations (they were killed in a raid that is still ongoing). An example of NLR breakage would be if a cop were to die in a police raid, then come back and kill the players after already lowering their hp and discovering their position. Another example would be if a player had killed another player in a hit, that player could not return to the place they were killed at, no matter how much they needed to (ex: their base).

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

Metagame is outside or impossible knowledge by a roleplay standpoint, such as if a player who had used a no clip glitch used that information to raid another person, or a mod investigating a player's base, and then used that knowledge gain to go through the fastest route to their money clickers/decide if the base is worth raiding.

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 gather proper evidence of the higher up abusing, and then find out enough about their rank to file a report to a person outranking them either through discord or the forums.

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

I would ask the person in my sit to remain there temporarily, or if they are untrustworthy (mass RDMer) then I would jail them and bring the new MRDMer into a seperate sit area and jail them as well. If there is another mod online, I would request that they take the new MRDMer as I unjail and resolve my previous ticket. If there is not another mod, I would deal with my previous ticket and then move on to the RDMer.

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

I would explain to the two other players that despite the lower active members they still cannot build in the streets, but if they are hobos, they can build in sidewalks that do not obstruct a building. After verbally warning and deleting all their props, any farther offenses would either be a warn for propspam or a appealable propspam ban for 7 days depending on prior offenses and how many props were used.

 

Thanks again, 

Cornisaurus
