Margaret Thatcher Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): Margaret Thatcher Age: 17 Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:91137109 Discord Tag: Squiggly#9766 Total Playtime: 5d 1hr Timezone: Central, GMT-5 specifically Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/itiscrow/ <--- My in game name is Margaret Thatcher Times you're most active (If you have a unpredictable schedule let us know): Lately from school ive typically been on around 6pm - 12am, or if i fell asleep during the day around 1am - 4am ish though currently only those times because ive been juggling school work and such General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: Ive been staff on a lot of servers since ~2016, so ive got some years of experience now, also own and moderate a discord server so ive got experience with that aswell, im also essentially emotionally numb so you wont find me getting offended or angered by anything really ever (no radical emotions helps with better decision making in my experience atleast) Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Correct Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Yeah I can take criticism/advise, so i have no problem with listening to other staff Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week?: Yeah thats do-able, ive had to do more in the past DarkRP Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: 10 minutes If a player in your party dies whilst raiding, how long do they have to wait to come back and raid the same base again?: Raid timer is 20 minutes What initiates a raid?: Adverting raid and/or initiating a raid with a raid tool and following with the raid advertisement If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: Yeah if no raiding tools were used and they are the appropriate job Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): "/advert 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?: No you have to advert the raid first (you cant just kill the guy unprompted) If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: You cannot return to the raid since being arrested means you basically failed the raid and now have to wait the 20 minute cooldown to raid the same base again If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: No thats revenge rdm A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: First offense is verbal, second offense is a warn and 5 minute jail List all default Laws of The Land: Raiding is illegal. Money printers, drugs and explosive are illegal. Bitcoin Racks are illegal (small versions not included). Harming other players is illegal unless you are defending your base. Life Threats are illegal. Having a gun license automatically makes all weapons on the user legal whilst holstered. Kidnapping, theft and harming another player are illegal. Using dangerous weapons in public is illegal. Laws must be enforced with AOS instead of KOS unless the Police Officers life is in danger or the player is wanted. Non-default Laws must be things that players have to go out of their way to do. Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are disallowed. The Mayor can choose to make dangerous weapons legal or illegal when owned/held but no other weapon-based laws. How many bases can you own per party?: 1 A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Give them a verbal warn to cooperate, freeze them and possibly mute them if they are acting like a total sausage, then with or without their cooperation continue the sit - and issue them a warn if they were giving 0 cooperation Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Tell them to leave the player alone (verbal) and if they do it again jail for 15 minutes along with warn since id think atleast that would be considered just some form of harassment at that point, but its situational Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: Healing/armoring off duty, no clipping off duty, grabbing players/freezing players off duty without a valid reason (not applicable for events, mass rdm situations and etc), with my newfound understanding i would report them to Jouaram on discord first, and if hes for some reason not available second option id probably report to someone like Revolt and let them sort it out internally A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: Id freeze them on a roof and since they mass rdmed give a ban for 3 days if its their first offense A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: Warn them to stop, explain the rules and etc about calling lockdowns, and if they continue to do it id demote them from mayor Extra Tidbits Changes ive made include changing some text colors to make it easier to read, edited incorrect responses, ive left most of them alone because being that most are correct i would handle the situations the same given the circumstances Would like to also mention that if my playtime has been a little spotty as of late its because of end of the year type school work (long boring projects that eat up time) ive also kept good behavior since ive come back, ive only had 3 total warns from back around June-July, been following the rules as closely as old people follow CNN Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this Edited April 8, 2022 by Crow fixed missing law of the land (as pointed out by tango) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have phrased that as "You've been threw enough Garbage in your life that you are not easily offended over silly nonsense said over the internet" or something to that effect and would have instead of making you look perhaps unbalanced look a bit more mature. 16 hours ago, Crow said: List all default Laws of The Land: Raiding is illegal.

In your example the first time you "Verbally Warned" him In the Awarn you would also want to put the name of the person they where harassing so the Next admin who has to deal with it will know What had happened and who they where harassing. also The answer would be yes You did not directly answer the question and Gave a example of what you would do. Conclusion Over all your app is well Done. To further respond to my first quoted Response I am very self deprecating as Well so I understand that mindset but When dealing with players you will need to balance that out with Confidence (and I think you have that as well) being to to Self Deprecating can cause players to not take you serious and or have little to no respect for you. As for the Other 2 Responses. The Laws of the Land is a quick fix no major issue there, The Punishing for ruining another players time is something that can be easily fixed with a little bit of training. Over all I think you have a well done app and I believe you have Maturity/Capability to The Job of staffing Well and Think you should be given the chance to prove your self +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what it is so long as you are able to understand it and Balance that out with what needs to be done. Cold Logic (or lack of emotion) Can be a good thing in a way but it can also be a bad thing. So I guess at this point and that makes want to lean towards neutral but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt based on the fact that you've showed Equity Intellectual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dildozer Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 +1 haven't had any issues with you, solid effort on the app, and we need more T-Mods. Don't see why you shouldn't be given a chance at a trial phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jouaram Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 ACCEPTED You seem to be relatively active in-game and also have lots of Community Support, I think you'll be a good fit as long as the effort is put into Staffing. You will need to listen to your fellow Staff and Mentor to be the best you can, good luck! Your assigned Mentor is: @RevoltPlays @RevLurks YOU ARE REQUIRED TO FINISH A TRAINING SESSION WITH YOUR MENTOR BEFORE TAKING SITS, IF YOUR MENTOR DOES NOT REACH OUT TO YOU OFFERING THIS SESSION REPORT IT TO ME IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN GET IT SET UP. Keep an eye out for a ping in #rookie-barracks on Discord for further information.
