[TehSpoderman]

Byond ID:TehSpoderman

Player name you use the most: Duke 'Oddshot' Stroh

Make a list of links to all of your applications and (job)ban appeals, including whitelist and staff apps, within the last year. Also, provide "Ban reason; Verdict" beside each (job)ban link:
N/A

Do you understand that any player - even donors or staff members - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our Server Rules or Roleplay Guidelines? Absolutely.

Why should you be whitelisted?
After my Commander app got denied due to me not setting up the poll correctly, I have played XO alot more. I feel like im prepared for the Commander role now that I know what I am getting into. Like i said in my previous application, I promise to be as competent as i can when im the Commander of the Almayer. I promise to be as creative as i can with tactics. I hope you will support me in my application and if you dont, any criticism can help.

Side note: sry for being really dumb and for not setting up the poll correctly.

Would you mind preparing a briefing or IC interaction of some kind so I can see what types of stories you'd be trying to advance as a CO?

Alright, im gonna make the classic briefing.

Alpha has 1 engineer. Bravo has 2 engineers. Charlie has 2 engineers. Delta has no engineers.

Good morning, marines! Hope you liked your stale food for breakfast. Now sit down and be quiet, briefing is starting. We have arrived on LV-624 to answer a distress signal coming from the archaeology site, Lazarus Landing. All attempts to contact the colony have failed so far, so keep a close eye on any potential hostile activity, possibly from the UPP or the CLF. We also know that there is a power outage currently on the colony. Now, time to get on with the squad assignments.

We will need a Foward Operating Base to escort any colonist with important information to the Almayer. Bravo will be assigned this duty. Their objective is to secure the LZ primarily. The Nexus area is completely optional, they can secure it if they wish. However, it isnt required by them at all. I also want Bravo to make a foward medical area in case the colonists are injured.

Due to the power outage, all lights on the colony are shut off, including the floodlights. Since we are heading down in the middle of the night, this is going to severly hurt our vision. Charlie is going to head to power to fix anything wrong with the generators and turn the floodlights on. After they got power and floods online, they are to head to the FoB to help Bravo in building it.

We have little to no information on what happened to the colony, currently. We are going to send Delta to investigate what exactly happened to the colony. They are to report any hostiles to other squads and Command itself. The first place to investigate is the IA building and then the research dome.

Alpha's job is to create a small outpost in Fitness and to obtain any useful supplies for the FoB or the outpost itself. They can move into Hydro and Medical itself if they wish.

Alpha and Bravo will be heading down on DS1. Charlie and Delta are heading down DS2. Any questions, marines? No? Alright, go kick some commie ass!

Thats what I like to see, some creativity! Feel free to mix it up some in assignments!

Danked. Not a baldie. And is also a mentor. What else do you need?

[Recounted]

Hard to say no to Duke +1

[Renomaki]

You look like the sort of fella that can be trusted in a position of serious power. You have experience in leadership positions, know how to be creative to keep briefings from being boring, and being a minor part of staff means you have connections to the big rule makers, meaning you should have a better understanding of what is expected of you in a position of power.

I'll give you a vote up, since we could use more commanders to take the wheel when I myself lack the energy to do it. After all, you can only command so much... Would be nice to have others I can trust take over from time to time.

[Ex0demon]

[TehSpoderman]

[NoahKirchner]

You are a mentor, and therefore not bald. Hell, you teach balds. +1

[TheMusician321]

are u sure that was me? I have bad memory so forgive me

[Kerek]

Alright, I have a situation for you. You will probably have a kek and it will decide my vote on how you respond. I want you to play it out how you would react ICly as a commander.

You have an MP that tried to turn in a colonist that was wanted by Weyland-Yutani when a PMC arrived on the USS Almayer. Your SOs and MPs attempt to restrain said MP and tie him to the chair, occasionally stun batonning or flashing him. One of your SOs is threatening to shoot him with a shotgun when he is tied to the chair, what do you do?

I SAID SORRY

Well, I would untie the MP and tell the SO to stand down. I will tell the MP, however, that this is Weyland's business and we shouldnt interfere in it unless it endangers the ship or the crew.

[Blade2000Br]

Man, I remember one round where I was Charlie and saw you in the same DS as me, probably Delta. Later in the game I hear that Delta got wiped out in scouting the colony.

Only to see you as the last delta coming back in a roller bed. I still think how did you survived to this day. Regardless, +1, Duke deserve D U K E T H E A Y Y S

[Kavrick]

Seen your attitude, not the kinda person i'd want to be a commander, -1

Can you expand on that so that future voters can make more informed decisions?

I dont like speaking ill of people, especially fellow staff members, but from what i've seen he's incredibly immature, not really the kinda person i want leading 100~ players, along with the fact that he didn't even link his previous application in the section where you're supposed to put it, leaving it default even though me mentioned that he made a previous appeal the whole thing seems low effort.

[TehSpoderman]

well lads, looks like the poll has ended. Thank you all for voting. Positive or negative, this feedback will make a better CO.
