General Questions

• How can you contribute to Aether?: Lets start off with experience, as most people know I was staff on Retribution RP and even so on Aether Network. As of right now that experience carry's into my past of me owning 2 communities back in 2014 and 2017 running a First Responders Roleplay server and Military Roleplay server. In my past and current Garry's Mod playthrough's, I've racked over 5,800+ hours, many of which was staffing on MilitaryRP, CityRP, SantosRP, First Responders RP, Jail Break, and even DarkRP. My love for the servers Jouaram has created has and more than likely will never parish, meaning I am active. I also have very intuitive and extensive knowledge within server development for Garry's Mod. Now lets talk about my personality; I am extremely laid back and cool headed, I love to see both sides of everyone's situation to get a better understanding. I also love to leave people in a positive headspace with my interactions, I am selfless and find joy in making others happy. With that being said, my staffing abilities in the past have been very proficient and I feel I am extremely competent and fit to properly conduct my staffing on Aether.
• Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Most definitely, as it stands I have and always had 0 warns whilst my duration at both Retribution and Aether.
• Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Of course, criticism is key to being proficient.
• Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week?: Of course!

DarkRP Rule Questions

• Raids can last how long?: From the initiation of a raid you have 10 minutes to complete it.
• If a player in your party dies mid-raid, how long do they have to wait to come back?: According to the current standing rules, you must abide by New Life Rule (NLR) which is 3 minutes. You must not return to your area, in this case your base, until the 3 minutes are up.
• What initiates a raid?: Any advert in chat that specifies what type of raid is being conducted is what initiates a raid (ex: "/advert raid" , "/advert PD raid" , or "/advert bank raid").
• If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: If you can steal an entity or money without having to use any raid(ing) tools, you do not have to provide an advert.
• Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): "/advert raid", "/advert PD raid" , or "/advert bank raid"
• If the owner of the base is standing outside on their base entrances sidewalk as you're about to raid but haven't announced a raid yet, can you kill them?: An advert for a raid MUST be given prior to killing anyone in the proximity of the base otherwise it would be RDM. 
• If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: If you are arrested by the police during a raid, then technically speaking the raid is over, which means after your arrest duration is up, you may return to your base.
• If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: If you are RDM'd you may not kill the RDMer back, this is called revenge RDM, its not allowed, you should instead report the RDMer to staff and allow them to handle it.
• A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: If a player punches somebody unprovoked or without a valid roleplay reason, I would consider this attempted RDM. Thus I would punish the instigator with attempted RDM.
• List all default Laws of The Land:
• Raiding is Illegal.
• Bitcoin Racks are Illegal (S2's are not).
• Life Threats are Illegal. Drugs, Money Printers, and Explosives are Illegal.
• Kidnapping, Theft, and Harming Other Players is Illegal.
• Harming Other Players is Illegal unless its in defense of your Base.
• Having a gun license makes all weapons on a person legal whilst they're holstered. 
• Using any dangerous weapons in public is Illegal.
• Laws must be enforced with AOS instead of KOS unless the officer's life is in danger or the player is wanted.
• Non-default laws must be things that players must go out of their way to do.
• Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are not allowed.
• How many bases can you own per party?: Simply put, a singular party may only own 1 base.
• A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: I'd love to attempt de-escalation with the player by talking to them, though if a player truly is failing to cooperate in a sit, it depends what said person is doing that will dictate how I handle it. If the person is running away, moving around, or killing themselves, I'd simply freeze them. If the person is being loud, argumentative, interruptive, or excessively disrespectful, I would gag them. If they're spamming chat or being excessively disrespectful I would mute them.
• Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: I like to make sure everyone is enjoying their time on the server and having fun. It isn't fair to have someone ruining your experience on the server. Besides, we use video games as an escape from the reality around us, so, I'd conduct a thorough investigation and get both sides of the story to see what's going on. If I found a player was truly ruining another players time on the server I would try to meet a peaceful resolution. If the instigator has previous warns that show they have a past of doing this or it continues, I would give them a player harassment warn/no intent to roleplay punishment.
• Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: If I were to find a staff member abusing their powers to otherwise benefit themselves or alter the gameplay within the server, I would try to grab a picture of logs and clip the incident. I'd also pull them to the side and address what it is they're doing and how they're in the wrong before reporting it to my higher up. A great example of an abuse situation would be utilizing god mode in a raid or no clipping around to get from place to place.
• A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: Excessive RDM is Mass RDM. If I were to find a player Mass RDMing, I would try to freeze them or immediately pull them to a sit before talking to them. I would also review their warns to see if they have a past history of such behavior, this would dictate my punishment whether its a Mass RDM ban or a Mass RDM and No Intent To Roleplay ban.
• A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: A lockdown must have a roleplay reason behind it. If a mayor initiates a lockdown without a valid RP reason, it would be considered FailRP. I'd be sure to pull the Mayor into a sit and give them a warning to stop the lockdown. If for whatever reason they chose not to stop the lockdown or continued to initiate lockdowns it could result in me assigning a FailRP punishment and a possible demotion.

 

PS: I have a history of being staff for numerous months then "disappearing" and/or resigning. I'd like to take a second to explain why that is; I suffer from extreme mental illness (no I'm not looking for pity) and it causes me to "shut-down" and pretty much lose interest in things fairly quick. So to counter this I am now undergoing therapy, I assure you if things get too hard for me I will ask for an extended LOA or push my hardest through it, I truly hope everyone understands.

 

+1 Honestly really nice guy and super funny, Very mature and handles situations very well. Good Luck!

Just make them average? this statement is a big fragmented and confusing to me.

I suppose you could go back to watch but there is a NLR timer as well so you are half right you could go back after your arrest is up (assuming The arrest was longer then 3 minutes). Plus there is no rule that states you have to Advert A raid is over. So all those are technicality and you really Shouldn't return mid raid.

RDM does not mean a death has to occur there is no "Attempted Random Death Match" witch is quite often miss stated. as far as The punishment it would be treated as any other RDM. First Verbal, then 5 Min Jail, 10 Min Jail and so on.

Just because they are being uncooperative doesn't mean you are going to necessarily ban them. You can add to there punishment perhaps for being uncooperative but Its not a instant ban.

Again depending on the situation you don't have to go straight to banning would be determined by there previous warnings.

Demote them as well

 

Conclusion

Your app over all is decent there is however some discrepancy and answers I find a tad confusing You got the play time But I think Your app needs a bit of work.  So at this time I'm going to obstain from support of your app but not expressly saying it should be denied.

• Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: If that person is ruining another persons fun by wasting their time i would politely ask them to stop and if they don't stop i would warn or ban them for harassment or NITRP (no intention to role play)
• Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: If a staff member is possibly no clipping into bases and stealing/destroying stuff for their own personal gain.
