VastInfinity Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 a1) What is your in-game (RP) name? My in game RP name is VastInfinity a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile. My Steam Account Link a3) What is your Discord Tag? (ie: SomeUser#1234) VastInfinity#0618 a4) What timezone are you located in? I am currently located in the Eastern Time Zone a5) How many in-game warns do you have? I currently have 0 in-game warns with 0 intentions to do anything to receive warns or any other type of disciplinary action. a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why? I have never been banned from XenoRP. a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where? I have a fairly dense background in being a staff member on DarkRP servers. I have had the ability to be every rank from Trial Mod all the way to Server Owner(I have owned a couple servers but the money was never there to keep them running). I owned 2 servers: VastInfinity and a server way back in the day that I can not currently remember the name of Most recently I reached admin rank on a server called PlayFreeRP before the server went down the gutter and the owner stopped caring as well as allowing people to donate for staff ranks. I left the server soon after this started happening. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP? Over the past few months I have taken a break from Garry's Mod because I felt the staff on the servers I was volunteering on were toxic and it was not an enjoyable experience and it made my life as an admin difficult. A few days ago I decided to reopen the game and I clicked on a random server to join. This took me to XenoRP where I was refreshed to find a server that was not a complete mess like most other servers these days. In fact, there are several features of the server that I find outstanding. These details are unimportant to the topic at hand, but if it is of any importance I was not planning on applying to be a staff member anymore but the second I joined XenoRP I was hooked. I truly feel like I could provide a helping hand for users and staff on Xeno. b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator? In my opinion, the number one thing that would make me a good moderator is my previous experience, as well as my flexibility to adapt to any of XenoRP's administration styles/techniques. I am a very open minded person and I am never afraid to admit when I am wrong or if I need to do something better. I am always observing the people around me to learn lessons on what to do as well as what not to do. In addition, I keep a constant recording of my game play, which makes it easy to collect evidence on issues, and providing proof if there is a bad enough issue that higher ups need to get involved or if anything gets taken to the forums. Another benefit of my recording is that if anybody ever reports me for abuse, I have footage to prove it to be either true or false. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to preface this section of my application by saying that my disciplinary style may be different from that of what is required for XenoRP. I just want to reiterate that I am always open to adopting new disciplinary practices, and adapting to the preferences of higher authorities. c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished. RDM: Random Death Match RDM is when a player randomly engages in an act of violence against another player, with no valid reason for doing so. In addition to RDM is Mass RDM which is a player engaging in a random act of violence against several players with no valid reason for doing so. RDA us Random Arrest, which is when a player abuses a law enforcement role to falsely arrest players which ultimately ruins game play. For a first offense, I would issue a warning. For a second offense, I would kick the player from the server. If issues continue, a temp ban may be next in line depending on the situation. c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated. NLR: New Life Rule New Life Rule is a rule in place where if a player is killed during an event such as a raid, mugging, kidnapping, etc... they can not carry anything from that event over in to their new life. This includes, returning to a raid they were killed at and interfering/continuing to participate, initiating RDM against a player who killed them or raided them. c3) Define "meta game" and provide examples of its occurrence. Meta gaming is when a player uses global role play data(Most of the time it is the ooc chat/advert chat) to determine their actions. A common instance of meta gaming is when a police officer sees somebody advertise raid, so they make that person wanted even though they would not know they were raiding had they not seen it in chat. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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? In past experiences with abuse of power, I have provided video evidence of the abuse to a higher up staff member that has control over the staff member who is abusing powers. If the abuse is bad enough, I will attempt to get into direct contact with the higher individual in hopes to get the problem resolved quicker. If it is not as severe, I will report it on the forums with a link to the video evidence. d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation? In this situation, I would jail the mass rdmer in an outside location where they can not hurt anybody and call another staff member to handle that while I finish with my sit. If I am the only staff member on, I will take care of my current sit then return to the rdmer who has been jailed. d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets. In this situation I would handle thing as I would if there were 50 people online. With building in the streets I would issue a verbal warning first, then an actual warning if the problem continues. If props are left in the street or they are still building when people join, it could cause other players problem and it is my opinion that it is better the cut the problem off before it can become an actual problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whether you except my application or not, I would like to thank whoever takes the time out of their day to read my application and I do hope you think I would be a good fit for XenoRP. ~Vast Link to comment
