Good enough, how much time you think you can be without complain in a 60 people server ? Give an estimate of time :
If everything is calm, about once every 10-20 minutes, When wars are going on, lots of activity, a lot of outlaws roaming around it could go up to about once every minute till 5 minutes.
2)
First complain ! Do not want damn ... Should you go in black armor or in invisible to see what going on ? Explain why, and when you should use these 2 possibilities.
Get off your admin horse, Depending on the request put on normal armor and talk to the people involved. It usually comes down to a guy gets killed and calls for help, you TP to him and you stand on his corpse with the killer waving his weapon around, This gives you the perfect opportunity to ask him what happened and any other witnesses, Witnesses are most important because if you did not see the kill they are the only ones you can trust in, never the killer nor victim cause both of them could be lieing, also one witness is not enough, and test the stories.
If people however say stuff like: HES TAXING ME, I would go invisible and check it out, Maybe hes asking too much, or it is all within the rules, Ill observe it and intervene when that is needed or tell the complainer you saw it and it is all within the rules.

Ok so it's seems that a dozen commoners are fighting at each other at spawn. Using knife and hatchet they seem beginners.
Chat log :
Lolkill : Lol stab
Sparta : Wtf man
Warband : I will kill you ******
What you do and why ?
Put on my trusty admin armor and use capital letters and Shift for a local shout basically saying: "ALL STOP THE FIGHTING NOW!"
Next, move your own body in between the people involved, making them hit you, which usually makes them stop, then try to talk to them.
If they run away freeze them. Their new, so they have no idea what they are doing.
Explain them a bit about gathering resources, and about killing rules, also tell them to read the rules and so on. then release them all go invis and watch what happens, if one starts randoming again freeze him, talk to him, divert him to the forums and then do a temp ban, to stop him and give the opportunity to read the rules.
4)
next complain, miners are getting robbed by outlaw at iron ore selling zone. What you do and why ?
Go invis and watch it, It is probably all within the rules, Watch the amount their asking and if they are attacking everyone that did not see their messages and runs through.
5)
It's even seems that one of the miner is a girl who is doing a ******* as "taxe fee". What your reaction as admin on it ?
You roll over the floor laughing (that was me :p)
If your a admin supporting the role play, you could comment on her by private admin chat that its a great example of roleplay.
6)
One of the miner refused to pay and tried to flee. He get killed. He complain for RDM to you. What do you do ?
Tell him in private admin chat that you saw it happening because you were invis there and that they did demand gold from your person and you ignored and fled, resulting in your death within the rules.
7)
The said miner farmed and get back as heavy knight and insta-stab the robber without any talk or RP. Now this outlaw is complaining. The outlaw was still robbing miners at the moment he get killing what do you do ?
TP to the knight, ask him to stop. If he doesn't freeze.
Explain him about breaking the New Life Rule, What it is and how it works, and even explain him that if nobody of them died and it was just a occasion of them robbing and your a knight that you can't just run in and kill them. You have to roleplay, for instance demand that the outlaws leave and stop robbing or you would take their life. Roleplaying as in always leaving the other lad a option to not fight, for instance paying, for instance leaving.. you name it. Roleplay.

People keep coming on server, and you are now flooded of asking from players
- 2 complaints for randoming
- 1 complain for TK inside a faction.
- 1 guy who don't know where is the outlaw spawn.
- Another deathmatch at the spawn.
How do you react, at what order do you resolve these complaints ?
Run towards the spawn either by teleporting to the complaint or use the admin horse if you have no idea who is at the spawn.
While going there or while talking in local to the deathmatch guys, Talk in admin private chat to the guy searching for outlaw recruitment station and tell him there is none on this map and it will be fixed next version.
Then talk in private admin chat while still following the conversations about the deathmatch in spawn and working the people there also tell quickly to the faction that your busy and will be with them in a sec, after handling the deathmatch properly and everything there is calm, go to the faction guys and investigate this TK.
9)
A big faction is obviously overrunning all others with twice more members and a very agressive leader.
You receive complain of it. What do you do ?
Go invis and investigate, talk to some people, get information.. are they randoming? what is happening?
Are they just warring a small faction of 5 members for the fun of it and keep killing them at spawn? all these factors have to be investigated.
If you do see rule breaking going on, best you could do is TP to the faction leader, tell him what is happening and what his members are doing, he can use faction chat with shift to spam them warnings though faction chat which is very efficient to get his men in line, if stil some problems arise with members, talk to them directly and punnish/warn/ explain rules accordingly.
10)
The said faction doesn respect the surrendering rules and is massivly spawn killing during the siege. At least half of the 20 members are involved. What do you do ?
TP to them in admin armor and start freezing people, shouting in local about surrendering rules, protecting the guys getting randomed by freezing more guys if nessisary.
People usually just dont know. If you freeze a few and start explaining surrendering rules it will get calm quite fast and just unfreeze the guys and suddenly the CAN take prisoners..
Best to stay there with admin armor on so nobody tries anything funny.
11)
While you solve these conflict an commoner take your admin horse. What do you do ?
Use admin chat private to him and demand him to get off or he would die.. If he does not comply there is no other way then to remove the horse and fade him to nothing.
12)
A massive TK occur in a faction. A guy killed 2 others. After investigation, they all claim to has been attacked first.
Chat log :
Faramir : They attacked me first to steal my horse.
Boromir : No you did first
Golum : Boromir is right, he attacked us first.
What do you do ?
There is no real way to know who is speaking the truth, probably gollum and boromir are friends, maybe its even true their stealing the horse and now are covering each others backs.
Faramir could be lieing about that as well so overall what you should do is split them up, A teamkill does not drop gold so there is not much loss, make people friendly towards each other, talk it out is always better then having people hate each other and try to break NLR later.
13)
It's seems that a randoming just occur not far from you. The victim doesn't complain and the murderer take the gold. What do you do ?
Ask the murderers about the kill, why it happened, do the same in private admin chat to the victim, it might not be a random at all, maybe he asked for it, you have no idea! but asking wont hurt.
14)
Outlaw has raided a castle of a weak faction and killed everyone. The lord complain and the Outlaw claim they were just going for the chest. What do you do ?
Go in and get information from difirent people, overall, explain the outlaws that running in with a group of heavy armed knights and start to steal, when attacked by one member starting to kill all their members including their serfs is completely rule breaking and raiding and then punish accordingly, this usually results in a kick or slay and returning their dropped gold towards the victims of said raid.
15)
Obviously the same pack of commoners is running around near the spawn town. They seems to not have farmed since a while and don't really know where to go, they never talk. . What do you do ?
Go invis and follow them, watch for rule breakings, and if so explain them you warned them before and this is their final warning about randoming/robbing too much whatever.
If severe rule break a temp ban would be needed.
16)
Are you considering players as kiddies in kindergarden or as full grown men ? Explain.
Their all kiddies, By god. Just imagine your in a class with 2387092 children and 9 adults, and thats PWmod for ya.
