Describe yourself & your personality in 150 characters:
Easy going, fun, comical, knows how to find the brightness of everything. Serious when needed, and reliable. I enjoy a good time, making friends and generally talking to people. But if I need to be the bad guy in a situation, that I have to be the bad guy in. I wont hesitate to, rules are there for a reason.

Gmod (various servers)






My Summary of 'Zombie RP' and the basic rules in at least 150 words:
Do not kill someone for no reasons, if you have a reason in role play you may. Don't 'grief' others, as well as jack/raid them without the proper advert. Lagging servers is a bad omen, and should be treated with the HIGHEST of offense. Respect your fellow person and those appointed above you, don't cheat. Don't overload the server with crap, make sure you role play and use the OOC chat for OOC only. Do not spray profanities, build profanities ever. Also do not do anything with the express intention of crashing the server and making life harder for administration.

Four years, various accounts
How long I have played a RP Gamemode, such as DarkRP, ZombieRP, PERP, etc.(approximately):
Two years
How long I have played at BJZRP (approximately):
A few weeks, but I've played ones very similar. 


How long I can play the server for per week (approximately):
I am on frequently, and mostly every day.


How long I pledge to play as 'Mod on Duty' for per week (approximately):
Every waking moment there is no mod already there, and whenever I'm on if I have to.


Section 3: Relationship with Users

This section tells you about how I will communicate with other users and present myself in the public.



Why is it important to give respect to our patrons, even if they don't respect you? 

Because as a figure of authority, people will tend to look up to you. You must show the kindness and patience with them, you are here to HELP them. Regardless of how they feel about you. Presenting yourself in a formal manner is very important, this is to give off a good image.


Why is it important to use correct grammar in the public?

This one I will actually say it's about 50/50. Grammar is important, as is always to show you actually are intelligent and comprehensible to other players, also to give respect that you actually know how to talk. But missing a period or using a slang is nothing to get angry about. Remember you are still a person, a person who likes to have fun and not focus on grammar a lot. 


In a democratic environment, why is it important to respect everyone's opinion? 

Because they are people to, everyone is capable of independent thought and their idea or opinion, may not just be there's. Others may share it and just not voice it, you must consider all options and opinions on any given manner, because one person can not foresee them all. 


How will I aim to maintain professionalism everywhere?


I will maintain the proper respect, and friendliness towards everyone, regardless of their history or what the situation is.


Section 4: My Past

This section discusses bans I have had in the past (if any) and what I have done to ensure that I no longer infringe upon the rules.



If you have never been punished for in game/forum offenses - please miss out this section.



How many times have you been banned/warned before?



If you have, please explain what happened.



Why I now realize that it is important to have strong knowledge of the rules and follow them religiously:



Why I am sorry, and it will not happen again:



Section 5: My knowledge of the rules

This section explains the RP rules.



What is RDM? Give an example.
{random death match} 
It is selecting a random person and killing them for no role play reason. 
EX: Random player walks up to someone and shoots them.


What is NLR? Give an example.
{new life rule}
You do not remember what happened in your past life. 
EX: Person A is killed by Person B, after re spawn Person A kills person B because of previous kill.


What is FearRP? Give an example.

Using Fear to enhance the role play experience. 
EX: If you die, you loose all your stats, items and weapons.


What is prop abuse?


Spawning a over excessive amount of props.


What is an example of FailRP?

EX: "I am a scientist my skin says so, so you have to follow me and do whatevs I say" 


Section 6: Why I should be a staff member:

This section is me selling myself to you for my qualities and promises on how I will moderate effectively and fairly.



Why would I be unique in what I do? (80 words minimum)


Because I would stay and remain a active member of the community, someone who still plays the game for what it is. Just continues to help maintain it and make sure it runs safe and smoothly, I also would help to bring a little relaxation to the community, and general friendliness to everyone else.


Why the community would appreciate & trust me in this role (100 words minimum):


I've talked to the community before, and I know how to be a friend to players so they can put trust in me. I will also STAY part of the community, and play the game and do stuff. So people will not only see me as a moderator, but a admin as well. Someone they can put trust in, and they can believe in who really associates with the player community, as they are PART of it. I would also be fair and friendly. so people would generally prefer to come to me with problems because they know I will give a good response and not chew anyone's head off (unless needed). 


If I could make a change to BJZRP, it would be:


Added features, like larger map, more enemy's, more interaction and better leveling up system.


Any other comments, etc:

I did speak to you.

If I have a vote, I'd have to say please don't let Ferub be an admin. He has Rdmed, broken NLR, and Failrp'ed on multiple occasions in the recent past. I feel like Ferub is a bad candidate because he would abuse admin powers and overall, make the server worse for wear.


Specific points of discussion (based from top to bottom):


"Full Name: Jake Santoni"
I used some of my resources to do a comprehensive search of this name. My search came up with almost nothing, aside from a politician who is undoubtedly better spoken and uninterested in becoming and admin on a gmod server. I think it's an alias.


"My (written) English on a scale of 1-10:
10"
Based on the answers given in the application, I would have to rate him somewhere around a 4. Improper grammar down the board, bad spelling, and lack of cohesive sentence structure. Not a huge issue, but somebody who is willing to lie about their own abilities is probably an impulsive liar.


"My Summary of 'Zombie RP' and the basic rules in at least 150 words:

Do not kill someone for no reasons, if you have a reason in role play you may. Don't 'grief' others, as well as jack/raid them without the proper advert. Lagging servers is a bad omen, and should be treated with the HIGHEST of offense. Respect your fellow person and those appointed above you, don't cheat.

Also do not do anything with the express intention of crashing the server and making life harder for administration."
The first two sentences sound great on paper, but Ferub does not follow these tenets. He's been kicked for an hour over one instance where he broke NLR, and RDM'ed another player. He lies to admins once he's caught, but thankfully cannot keep his stories straight. Smart admins have caught him in his lies.

"How long I have played Garry's Mod:

Four years, various accounts

How long I have played a RP Gamemode, such as DarkRP, ZombieRP, PERP, etc.(approximately):

Two years

How long I have played at BJZRP (approximately):

A few weeks, but I've played ones very similar. "
I had a chat with Ferub, trying to explain the rules and what they mean. Eventually, we came to a veritable genital waving contest when he asked about my experience with roleplay. When I told him that I had been roleplaying for around 13 years now, he told me that he had been at it much longer. I called him out on it, and all he could say is "Whatever." This representation of his experience could be a lie as well.


"Section 4: My Past"
Based on some research I did on his SteamID, He's been banned from at least 4 DarkRP servers. There could be more, but I stuck with the people I knew on the servers I used to play on. Apparently, he has a history of breaking NLR. This is aside from the hour ban he recieved on BJZRP.


"Section 5: My knowledge of the rules"
Ferub has broken several rules. I feel that his hypocrisy would be a burden to this server, and give the admins a bad name.


Thank you for your time, and think about what I've said.
