A:there is a total of 18 informative guidelines.

Q:Did you read and study the Metropolice Force Guide?

What would the punishment be for that level of crime?

A: the crime for having moderate contraband is a level three crime and punishable with the issuing of 4-6 penalty points.

Q:How does the standard breach and clear protocol work?

A:during a breaching scenario there are four participants: The breacher, Team Leader, and the two pointmen. when they are preparing to perform a breach, the Team Leader orders the squad to stack, which is when the pointmen get up against the wall on the right side of the door and the breacher on the left. When they are in position, the Team Leader orders them to "prep" (prepare) which is when they breacher will wait for the inject command and the pointmen get their weapons ready. when the Team Leader orders them to inject, the breacher shoots the lock on the door, busting it open, and the pointmen move in to clear the room, they would check all corners and take out any hostile inhabitants. when the room is clear the pointmen would give the all and the Team Leader will enter (if he or she decides) and the breacher would move in if needed for another breach, then repeat the protocol.

Q:What districts/areas are you allowed to enter at all times?

A: The districts that MPF units are allowed to enter at all times are the Plaza, Outer Plaza, Trainstation, and Backstreets and the rest of the main city.

Q:What districts/areas are you only allowed to enter under certain circumstances? List the circumstances for each area.

A: The districts you are allowed to enter only under certain circumstances and their appropriate circumstances are as follows:
Shell Beach: and only when citizens are being allowed access to it.
Grizzly Grotto: and this is only when responding to a call that requires you to enter.

Q:Which districts/areas are you never allowed to enter, period?

A: the only district you are never allowed to enter is the construction site (District Six).

Q:At what rank are you allowed to leave the nexus?

A: In order to be allowed out of the nexus you must be at the rank of 05.

Q:What action do you take in the following situation:
You happen to be in the plaza, and an armed citizen is firing a pulse-rifle everywhere. Citizens are screaming,
a few officers are down, and the situation isn't looking good.

A:in the above scenario you would take cover and call for back up. if back up is unavailable, then you would order the citizen to stop firing their weapon, if they do not comply (and keep shooting) then you you would have no choice but to open fire on the citizen. if they become too wounded to continue resisting then you would move in and detain them following the detainment protocol. once they are detained you would want to check and see if any of the officers are still alive (though it would be very unlikely). you would then knock out the detained criminal (if not already unconscious) and drag them to a cell to await sentencing from a qualified officer or bring them to be interrogated. if they are to be amputated (they likely would be) then they would be executed.

Q:Explain the ten step process of properly detaining someone.

A: When detaining a criminal yo would first have to locate them and move towards their position. you would then order them to go against the nearest wall and face towards it. if they do not obey then you would request backup, use your stunstick, or both as needed. once they are against the wall with their back to you, you would then tie them with a zipline. after they have been disarmed (tied), you would order them to apply (give their name and CID) and verify what they said with the /viewdata command (using /me to indicate you are verifying it). if they are identified as an anti-citizen you would call for backup. if they are NOT an anti-citizen (just a citizen) you decide what kind of punishment they would receive depending on their crime. if they are detained you would knock them out (to ensure they don't run) and bring them to a cell inside the nexus, staying with them for the duration of their cycles. when their required amount of time has been served you would enter the cell, order them to face the wall, and knock them out. once they are unconscious you would carry their body to a remote area of the city and wait for them to wake up. once awake you would untie them and let them go.

Q:How does division ranking advancement work?

A:when you start off you are a recruit and unable to leave the citadel. once you have undergone training you would then be promoted and be able to choose your division. the ranks go down instead of up, 05 being the lowest and 01 being the highest. once you are at rank 01 of a tier in your division you would then be promoted to the next tier. when you get promoted as an APEX for example (sorry i am not sure if it is the same process for all of the divisions) you could then become and APEX ofC or continue to the next tier (Vice) if they choose to be Vice they would go through the ranks and when they get promoted they can then become Vice ofC or move to the next tier (Grid) if they become Grid they would keep going through the ranks and when they are promoted they would either become Grid ofC or go to the next tier (Orion) if they become Orion they would go through the ranks and when they are promoted they would become Orion ofC (if the position is not already taken) and eventually be promoted to Orion CmD (if the position is not already taken) and finally become the ORion DvL (if the position is not already taken). there can only be one ofC and CmD per tier and one DvL per fourth tier (meaning only one DvL per Division).

Q:At which rank are you allowed to authorize Judgement Waivers?

Q:What rank are you allowed to use a pistol at?

A: at ranks 04 and up of Tier one and above you are allowed to use a pistol.

Q:What happens if you use a pistol before this rank?

A: you are given two blackmarks for using a pistol before this rank

Q:Do you understand how to use our Advanced Viewdata?

A: For the most part i do. some details i could not understand due to the background audio but i understand the important details, yes.

Q:What happens if you go rogue and get caught?

A: if you go rogue and get caught you will be killed and removed from the whitelist.

Q:Do you understand not to argue with other players?

A: yes i understand.

Q:What should you do if you find yourself in a disagreement with other players?

A: i would try find a peaceful resolution and if i truely believe i am correct i can call an admin to handle it.

Q:What are your past experiences in the Metropolice Force?

A: i used to play on an Half-Life 2 RP server (that got shut down due to the owner lacking traffic) and i WAS an MPF unit on their. i was not able to finish basic weapons training before it was shut down but i WAS trained enough to patrol and detain citizens correctly. i also knew the basic radio codes. (ie 10-4 10-5 10-8 10-7, you get the idea) and i  was qualified to leave the citadel.

Q:Why should we accept your application?

A: I honestly don't know why you guys should accept it, but it just gives me a sense of duty and a meaning on the server. (besides i did pretty well on the old one).

Q:Why should we accept your application over other player's applications?

A: like i said above their may be some people more qualified than me but it would just be nice to have a duty to serve.

Q:what happens if you do not stay in-character, or try to mess-around and simply void it afterwards?

A: if you don't stay in-character or mess around and void it afterwards you will be killed and removed from the whitelist.

Q: Do you tend to complain a lot?

A: i only complain if i truly think something is unfair. other than that i barely complain.

Q:Do you have any close friends who play on the server, that could recommend you?

A: no i do not.

Q:Can you passively roleplay, using detailed actions?

A: i can passively roleplay, what i normally do as a MPF is i find a corner from which i can keep an eye on the citizens and i just wait for the action to find me i am actually very patient (especially when bored) so i can wait for a long time. i am fairly good at detailing things. although i wouldin't say i could go into perfect detail with most things. like if you give me a vague scenario and tell me to describe it in long perfect detail, i can't do that.

Q:Do you have a basic knowledge and understanding of Half-Life 2 lore?

A: yes i do. i know that the Combine and Earth fought an extremely bloody war that only took 7 hours for the combine to win and that they invaded Earth due to the resonance cascade caused at Black Mesa in Half Life 1. and that is a portion of what i know.

Q:How active are you on the server?

A: seeing how i have only been on for a few hours i can't say i am really active but i have been in quite a few scenarios (a zombie attacking me, being detained by MPF, and being the subject of an MPF call).

Q:How well can you follow instructions?

A: if given to me in tiers i can follow instructions pretty well (ie. saying all at once: go down the hall, take a left, open the first door to your right, open chest number 10, grab the third gun down, head across the hall, enter the firing range, shoot every  target once, then come back. would confuse the living shit out of me. but giving them to me one or two at a time, i am able to follow.).

Q:Do you plan on being a loyal player?

A: i will most likely be on for a bit after school (at about 3:30 pm EST) every day. every now and then i will probably do something else( like play my PS4, play Minecraft, etc.).

Q:ive an example of your own personal passive roleplaying using the /me command.

A: a citizen walks by me holding a crowbar so i address him and tell him to get against the wall. he would reply "make me" and /me that he raises the crowbar. i would do a /me saying "puts hand at belt getting ready to draw weapon" (i will probably get better at details the more i am on the server), the citizen would do a /me saying "swings crowbar at MPF" me and the citizens would roll and i get the better number so i would do a /me that says " ducks below the strike and tackles attacker" we would roll and i would lose the roll so the citizen would do a /me that says " brings crowbar down on Unit's head before he hits" and we would roll i would lose and do a /me saying "collapses on ground unconscious" and the citizen would do a /me saying "runs before backup arrives" and run away.
(i will probably get better at details the more i am on the server).
