Give some context about setting of C24 within the Half Life universe (150 words+):  

City 24 is A city administrated by the UU administration, it is set in Europe, in the city of Geneva, but it's different from the other ones because the propaganda isn't like all the other cities, it seems to have sign of nationalism propaganda in it. The city is generally clean, it has similiar traits of the old world, it seems to make the citizen feel comfortamble  and to increase their loyalty to the UU. The city reports show that it has common traits of the nazy germany and of north korea. Like other cities, this was build just after the 7 hours war, and it seems to be a secret rebel organization, so the city may be lockdowned often. The administration is  kinda more helpful and kind to the citizens, unlikely other cities, where the administrators couldn't care less. The reports shows that some CP went rogue too, but the situation is slowly coming back to normal.

Have you read the server rules and are you familiar with them?

Yes, I am, and i am ready to enforce them.

Have you read the punishment list and are familiar with it?: 

I did, and I am ready to use the correct ones for each situation.

List of all previous server staff experience:

I've got most of my experience on RPs, but I've got some out too: Shared Gaming Breach (Moderator), GM REBORN TTT (Tmod), NebleGaming SCPRP (Admin) Alpha Gaming DARKRP (Senior Admin).

List of all previous RP experience:

I don't remember them all, but I will list the recent ones that I remember: Civil Gamers -DarkRP-, SFS Reborn -StarWarsRP-, RealityRoleplay -MilitaryRP-...

Have you added the Manager on Steam? If not, add him (http://steamcommunity.com/id/RUN_YOU_FOOL):

I did

Have you added the Vice-Manager on Steam? If not, add him (https://steamcommunity.com/id/thatgardentool/):

I did

Have you added the Staff Manager on Steam? If not, add him (https://steamcommunity.com/id/UNJoe/):

I did

Do you understand that you can be demoted at anytime with a sufficient reason by a Hierarchy member?:

I understand, and I'm ready to accept it

Explain how you would handle these scenarios as a staff member:

1 ) You are told by a player in admin chat that another player is randomly killing people:
I would tp to the reported and ask him who is rdming, then I would deal with the reporter in a sit with the reported and hear both sides of what happened. If the reported actually broke a rule I would be forced warn him.

2 ) You are asked by a player about how to join a faction:
I would first ask him what faction would he like to join, and then I would explain to him what does that faction do. I would reply that he can try to do an IC application, or maybe try an OOC one. If he has more question I would say to ask to an higher up

3 ) You catch somebody not performing RP and messing around:
I would bring him(if he's not in an RP situation) and explain that he can't mess around as this is an RP server, and if he keeps doing that I will be forced to punish him, with a warn or a kick and then a ban.

4 ) Somebody acquires a rank but is not willing to RP with it properly:
I would explain him what that rank does, then if he still won't rp properly I would tell him that if he keeps doing it he could probably get a demotion or a blacklist.

5 ) A player is prop spamming: 
I would jail him and say to stop spamming otherwise(depends on the amount of spammed props) he could get warned or even banned.

6 ) Somebody does not agree with the outcome of an RP situation therefore he decides to break RP and act OOC:
I would bring him, and check the logs and other people's point of wiew, if he didn't use any rp breaking rule(such as metagaming,power gaming etc.) I would just give him a verbal, if he did instead I would be forced to warn him.

7 ) You bring a player into a sit and punnish him however he does not agree with your decision and keeps arguing:

If I already warned him, I would explain why I warned him using all the facts that I have, trying to explain to him that it was the right choice, if he still doesn't agree and shouting or swearing I would ask him to stop it or I will be forced to mute him, and keep explaining why I did it. If, in another scenario he agrees, I would just return him.

8 ) Someone commits FailRP but claims the specific instance of FailRP you warned him for is not explained in detail within the rules: 

I would explain him that not everything is written and the rules, and sometimes using common sense is the best way to respect all of them. However, if he still argues, I would tell him to ask to my superiors if he still needs clarifications.

9 ) A player evidently breaks a rule however he makes a good point in his defence by abusing loopholes within the rules:

If he broke any rule, I would warn him and say that he can't abuse of the loopholes, as it isn't allowed.

Answer the following questions in detail:

1 ) Explain the difference between Tier I rule-breaking and punishments and Tier II rule-breaking and punishments:

-Tier I : Usually done by new player in the server, they are usually breaking Fail RP o RDM (the common ones), They aren't on purpose, usually they are accidents. I honestly apply a verbal and then a written warning.

-Tier II : Usually done by normal players, they are on purpose, and a good example is MRDM, the punishments always depend on the situation.

2 ) Explain the difference between IC and OOC. Also define Meta Gaming in relation with the two:

When you are IC (in Character), you always follow your character's duties,rules... You are mostly roleplaying while you are IC, in this your ultimate goal is to develop your character internally(emotions,social state...) and externally(job,rank...). OOC(Out Of Character, doesn't affect your character at all, as the name says. It is usually used in admin sits.

Metagaming is usually used IC to gain OOC informations, like the name of someone, their job... A common example is when someone calls a guy for his name while don't even knowing it in RP, he just looked in the scoreboard of the server.

3 ) Explain the difference between Serious RP and Semi-Serious RP:

Serious RP: You have to be your charachter until the end of the RP situation, you have to fully concentrate on your character.

Semi Serious: While in an RP situation, you may talk in OOC, and maybe not fully concentrate on your character.

4 ) Explain the difference between PassiveRP and CombatRP, explain your view on their importance in our gamemode:

Passive RP: Usually a character's mind and body  development, an example is a citizen getting their ration or discussing with someone else.

Combat RP: Most frequent in HL2:RP, this only focus on the exterior of your charachter, an example is a CP beating up a citizen for jumping or running.

I think both Passive and combat RP are equally important and funny.

5 ) Define the term of Combat Baiting:

Combat baiting is usually saying something to instigate a fight, an example could be a citizen running and jumping in front of a CP.

6 ) Define Power Gaming / Power RP:

Power gaming is when you force an action with the command /me or make your self in a powerful position with RP commands, an example is: "/me steals the baton of the CP and beat him up"

7 ) Define the term FailRP:

FailRP is when the player fails to role play, and in real life you would never do that thing, an example is a non-rogue CP that gives weapons to the citizens.

8 ) Define the term FearRP: 

FearRP is when someone is afraid to die, so like if a cp points a gun at you and say to follow him, you can't just run away as it would break Fear RP.

Explain in length and detail as to why you deserve staff more than other applicants. Explain what you will bring to the staff team and your strongest assets as a person/potential staff member (250+ words):

I don't think I deserve more than others, cause there always will be someoneone better than me, but I can say that I got a lot of experience in this game, I've played gmod for almost 3 years and I've played a lot of RP and non-RP servers. I learn always from my errors, and I always accept suggestions, I am respectful, I always respect my higher ups and  the players, because  I believe that all players should be respected, not just the staff members, as we are a community. I am active too, I can be active on a daily base with 2-3 hours per day, except for some days. Another reason is that I am really determinated to join this server and be helpful for it, I really like HL2:RP and Werwolf gaming, so why not help by doing what I most like, helping people; infact, I applied for staff because I really like helping people. Another great thing about me is that I try to remember all the rules, so It shouln't be a problem remembering them (Except if there are TOO many). To finish, I know that I will probably be not the best candidate , as I said before, there are plenty of people better than me, with maybe more experience,game knowledge, more time, but I still could be a really fine addiction to the staff team of this amazing community, with the reasons that I explained before. If I will get the chanche to join the staff team, I will try my best to help the server!

Thanks for saw

Big -1. Why? Well:

You haven't listed any kind of RP or Staff experience within W-G, so I must assume you're very new to the server, having only joined discord on the 20/06 and having made the staff app on the morning of 21/06

Role of staff isn't just ensuring players have fun and "Respect" the rules, they're also a line of rule enforcement

Plenty of grammatical errors throughout the application, incorrect sentence structure, shows an understanding of English, but not an understanding of English Grammar

context about the setting of C24 states about Rogue CPs, this is highly inaccurate due to the strict regulation of the CP within C24.
The administration is not "kinda more helpful and kind to the citizens" C24 cares for it's obedient workforce, and it's upper-class, most like any other City

RDM isn't a warn offense, it's a ban, you need to remember that this server is not like DarkRP, the rules are strict in comparison to DarkRP, not to mention you would only need to use the logs in most RDM cases

Scenario 5 would require a kick rather than Jailing, people who prop spam don't have viable reasons to be doing such, if they return, it's a ban, most prop-spammers aim to crash the server, so don't waste time.

Scenario 7 should also include you reminding the player that they can attempt to take the situation to the forums, you'd provide them with the link to the appropriate forums page and then return them, if they wish to take the situation further, they will do so on the forums.

In Scenario 8, you should remind the player of the Real Life structure, if the action couldn't be performed within the boundaries of the real world, it falls under FailRP

Scenario 9 would also include informing higher-ups about the loophole to fix it, and warning the player verbally

Metagame is the other way around, using OOC information for IC purposes

Starting a section titled "Explain in length and detail as to why you deserve staff" with: "I don't think I deserve more than others" really doesn't set a good tone for you as a person

"2-3" hours is fairly low-margin activity for a staff member, especially if that's your standard for a server that's yet to have a grand opening.

"I really like HL2:RP and Werwolf gaming" Yet you've not mentioned any previous playtime with us, and have only been around for a couple of days

"I try to remember all the rules, so It shouldn't be a problem remembering them (Except if there are TOO many)." comes across as counter-intuitive and is also fairly generic, all staff have an EXPECTATION to know their rules, it's a MUST not a MIGHT

"To finish, I know that I will probably be not the best candidate , as I said before, there are plenty of people better than me" Again, not the best way of trying to sound appealing to people who are deciding whether or not to include you on a staff team.

Ehi,thanks for the reply. About my experience in W-G, I've been playing since 2018(unfortunately I forgot to mention that), and in 2019 I started to take a break, I joined the discord server of HL2:RP the 20/06, and after reading some infos' of it I decided to apply. About the activity, I wrote that I can be around 2-3 hours per day, but I believe that in summer I'll have more time. For the punishments, I believe that you're right, maybe I misunderstood the gravity of them. Also about the "There are plenty of people better than me", I just wrote the truth, there are SURELY people better than me, but I said that i could be a fine addition to the staff team listing all my pros.
