State the role of staff on the server:

 The staff team's role on the server is to ensure that the OOC rules of the server are followed by the playerbase as well as trying to make each person's time on the server as enjoyable as possible. Staff should aim to help as many people as possible whether that's by taking claims to help those who need it or just generally enforcing rules so that everyone who spends any amount of time on the server can enjoy it as much as possible.

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

 Yes, I try to keep up to date with all changes

List of all previous server staff experience:

No staff experience in recent years as I took several years away from Gmod during uni but I have previously developed for swrp servers and have been a Co-Owner/Head of Staff for a cwrp server back in 2016

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

 Absolutely

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

 

1 ) You are told by a Player that somebody is randomly killing other clones:

 General practice would be to get the person’s name, check Blogs, remove them from the situation by taking them into a sit and to explain to them what they’re doing is wrong and then punish them accordingly. More specifically:
- If they’ve shot only once or twice I would try and let it be handled in character rather than interfering as staff OOC if this is repeated after Jail time I would be more likely to intervene
- If they’ve shot people more than this then but no one has been killed I would grab them and take them into a sit to explain to them how what they did was wrong and likely warn them for ARDM
- If they’ve killed people I would take them away from the situation to stop any further conflict and then warn them for RDM
- If they’re killing a lot of people I would warn them for MRDM.
- If I can’t see any evidence of anyone shooting or killing other clones in logs I would talk to the person that made the claim and to get more information and then go from there. 

2 ) You are asked by a Cadet to be trained using the @ function:
I’d teleport to the cadet and make sure they've put out an advert asking for a trainer and ask in OOC if there are any NCO+ that are willing to train them. If I don't get a reply from the OOC message or the advert and the cadet has been waiting a while I would message batt to order someone to train the cadet or start tping people to train them starting from lowest to highest rank available.

3 ) During a debrief, a CT accidently shoots someone, whilst trying to safety their weapon:
As staff I would not intervene in this situation, at most I would speak to them about how to correctly put their weapon on safety and ask them to be careful in future. Ideally, this would be dealt with in character by the Rancor in charge of the CTs currently or by CG rather than staff getting involved OOC.  

4 ) A CT #### doesn't salute you, despite you being a rank higher than 2nd LT:
This isn't really enforced in character anyway so no reason to be getting involved as staff as far as I'm concerned.

5 ) Someone commits FailRP, but claims that the specific instance of FailRP is not explicitly stated within the server rules:
This is really down to what has happened in each specific instance, and can only really be handled on a case-by-case basis. I would explain to the offender how their actions are considered FailRP and that it is virtually impossible for every possible instance to be written down in the rules. Depending on the severity I'd likely let them off with a verbal warning in hopes that they now understand the rules better but obviously, if anything similar happens again I'd just return to them and warn them since I've already given them a chance to avoid it.

6 ) You bring a player into a sit and punish them accordingly, however they do not agree with your punishment and keep on arguing:
I would try and de-escalate the situation before anything else. If there is no way to de-escalate or if they still disagree I’d give them a link to the forum appeals section and tell them the proper process to appeal my decision. Any punishments I would hand out would be based on the rules for the server and arguing isn't going to change those rules, if I have properly explained why they are being punished and the process for appealing the punishment I would just leave to avoid aggravating them any further.

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):

 In my humble and unbiased opinion, I'd make an excellent choice for staff.

First off, I've poured a ton of time and energy into this server. Seriously, it's become a big part of my life over the months I've been here.
Whether it's jumping into events, chatting with fellow players, or lending a hand wherever needed, I'm all in. And I don't just mean in-game stuff – I've made it a point to help out both in and out of character whenever I can because I genuinely care about making this place awesome for everyone.

I would bring this mentality to the role of staff, I am a logic-driven person and I enjoy interacting with people, I believe these qualities make me easy to talk to and approachable. I think I will be able to handle any situation that arises professionally and deal with it appropriately but I am also able to own up to my own mistakes and if I do make any mistakes I will take action to fix them and learn from the experience.

Unfortunately, I can't speak on any staffing experience when it comes to my time on this server but in my role as 212th Hierarchy, I believe I have shown my dedication to this server and its players. I joined my regiment's hierarchy because I wanted to take on more responsibility and be able to help the people that I spend so much of my free time with more, I want to join staff so that I can extend this to helping the whole server.

I am active, and plan to stick around. I am thoroughly enjoying my time on the server and I'd like to help others enjoy their time here too.

 

I'm a bit late to the application party this time round so thank you to anyone who takes time to read all this!

In my, also humble and unbiased, opinion as someone who gets to interact with Rob a lot:

Rob's a very competent individual, his mere presence brings order and organisation but also friendly banter to wherever he goes. Generally active and he's seen his share of CWRP by now, knows how people behave and how to adress issues that could come up. Respectful to people. Quick to adress problems and innovate old ways. He's already a very good pick for staff and his capabilities will most likely only expand. Give him a try.
