Since I was the Mod that was down there trying to discuss the issue with you and your fellow failie I feel its ok for me to respond to you.
I want to first say, that arguing with me does not a civil conversation make. At times you were less argumentative then others, but the conversation was by no means civil from yourself and the other individual who failed. Not to mention that I'd already told you to stop arguing about your failure with the SGTs after I realized that they were spending an inordinate amount of time sitting in the room which we had moved those who had failed the interview.
The head for APD, Travis, entered the room and listened to you and your compatriot "heatedly discuss" your inability to pass the simple test that was given to you, decided that I should not be subjected to your attitudes any longer and then stepped in and informed you both of how it was and how it has been for 7 months. He only got uppity when you both tried to interrupt and talk over him.
The fact that you and the other individuals were unable to review and retain a simple bit of information which we use as a starting point, or baseline knowledge for the Deputy rank in APD is necessary so that we don't have to instruct you on everything. Its bad enough when we have people who do pass start providing miss information once they get in the game as it creates a huge snowball effect where all of a sudden no one remembers what they were supposed to be doing with in the rules.
I'll admit that I have been away from doing interviews for awhile. I'll also admit that most of the applicant Deputies and even those that have passed interviews given by me would agree that I am one of the more difficult testers on staff. Some staff are more lenient. My personal belief is that if you want to be a part of a whitelisted group then you need to show and put the effort into learning the material provided, in this case the APD Handbook and Ticket Guide. If you are unwilling to do so, then why should we be willing to whitelist you?
Failing the test is just as much of a test as the interview itself is. And you failed that too. If you get like this because you fail the test, then how are you going to be able to deal with the shit RDM'ers or combat loggers or anyone who gives you attitude or claims you've broken the rules? Are you going to fly off the handle with them as well?
Anyway, based on your performance last night and your post it appears that Travis made the correct decision to not allow you to apply to APD again.
