Long Answer
(Questions proceeded with an asterisk require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. )
What is your motivation/reason for applying?: *
Well quite frankly, this server needs help. When I came into Mobsters, I saw the same as I saw in this server, after being brought in by old friends, and I feared immediately when I hoped in and saw no administration, all that was there was Pendred. The community owner doing simple administration with a ticket back-log of a few hours long. I'm applying because I know the potential in diverge and I know I can help grow it and make it much more efficient and better. In addition to that, I believe I can bring ultimate change, being an experienced staffer and manager in multiple areas from being a gamemaster to being an owner of a few networks along the way. I know I can be a true leader and make this server one of the best, if not the best servers in all of Garry's mod.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?: *
Well, I'd answer this question with another, why not me. I mean, realistically I never expected two hours into a server to have to apply for staff because of the genuine lack of. But if you have to ask yourself honestly, why commander, well I guess I'll tell you why... I've been everywhere I've done everything, and being a leader is my nature, revitalizing and making the best networks has been what I always do. My end goal isn't to be promoted, it isn't to be a divine force, my goal is to make this server a better place, and some candidates just want to say "haha i admin nwo" whereas I just want to make this network the best place for both players and staff.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long):
Various and different Networks 2014-2020 Ranks varying
Restoration Gaming Networks: 2017-2018; Co-Owner
Restoration Gaming Networks 2018-2020: Network Counsel; Personnel Management Officer
Typhon Networks 2020: Senior Moderator for endorsements
Mobsters Paradise: Senior-Admin for personnel and Bans| Legal RP Deputy Lead
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No, never been banned.
Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: *
I would say I am well known, I've been in the roleplaying genre for quite some time now and my characters have been big in every server they've been in. From John C. Smith being Mayor in Mobsters and Typhon to being both the mayor and chief Judge I am relatively known. As far as if I am liked, well that is a question I cannot answer, but I can only assume the fact that I was the sole reason some servers had been active for much a time, or that certain abusive members of staff or server base have been removed. I cannot speak on people's opinions nor will it be something I will do now, because this is a community, and a community can have their opinions represented equally. So sure, let's say I am liked, but to me, I won't stop working until I do my job and make the server better for everyone to be liked.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names:
Well none of them knew I was applying so I would say no.

Problem Solving
(Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take.)
Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?:
If I am the victim, I would call for another staff member to open a ticket and to handle the situation as though they were any other players.
If I am a witness, I would (if possible in roleplay, otherwise I'd delegate and share my side of things), hop onto my admin char and begin a sit, first bringing the victim ensuring that I get the full story before I bring the instigator at which case I question him and determine a reasonable punishment in most cases this will be a verbal warning.
You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?:
I'd record it and document it, having more evidence while bringing it up to management/their superior.
A very good friend of yours joins the server. Over the course of an hour, you’ve received multiple complaints about them not following rules, RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this can affect your friendship with them?:
I'd proceed as though they are just another player and determine the punishment in accordance with the punishment policy for the network, given the overall RDM and Minge, it would be grounds for a warn, and if another report were to surface it'd result in a kick.
