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?
I understand this to the fullest extent possible for one to understand this.

Why should you be whitelisted?

I've been XO quite a few times now and have been running some rounds solo without a commander, and I have to say that I think I do a pretty good job at it. I don't focus on winning the round as my top priority and power-game, I try to RP and be realistic with how I react to things. That doesn't mean i'm sabotaging the marines whatsoever, I just like to give the command position a stronger feeling of RP that can be felt by marines and make it feel like we're in the middle of an actual war, not just a Call Of Duty-esque death match.

But most of all, I want the marines to have fun. I want them to feel safe too, like someone above them is watching over them that actually cares about his soldiers and men. But this doesn't mean the moment that the alien horde starts to push us back a tiny bit that i'm calling for a mass planet evacuation. No sir, not one bit.

I want to treat the marines like they should be treated, as hardcore space badasses who won't quit. The Queen has pushed us into Hydro and boiled a third of our forces alive? I say hold the fort, throw those OB's, and come up with a strategic course of action that is a bit more interesting than just "fallback to nexus then the dropship."

Sometimes when the round starts, it feels like everything is set in stone.
It feels like marines are destined to lose, destined to push river, lose men, fallback to Hydro, fallback to Nexus, fallback to Alaymer, and then get slaughtered on our own turf.

I'm here to prove, that doesn't have to be the case. We can be smarter. We can be realer. We will fight with our hearts high and our hands ready for salute, and under the command of Commander Rick Rhee?

Each and every single marine will show the high spirits of the human race to these creatures, and they will feel it in the glory of hellfire that will descend upon their demonic skin as their corrupted blood splashes on the grass.

We're not just marines.
We're humanity.

And humanity.
Takes.
No.
Shit.

This is Rick Rhee's application for Commander, signing off.

*salute*

[Sneakyr]

Yeah, you're not bad. Part of the app is meh but my experience of you outweighs it and you seemed to at least put some effort in and tried to make it interesting, so sure. You've got my vote.
To elaborate on my app issue, the last fluff bits seem neat but also a bit corny.

[KEY]

If it helps to note, Bill Carson himself approved of my XO capabilities.



Now will you as a community feel secure enough to approve of my commander capabilities?

Thank you for your time.

[Nicboone]

changed from -1, which i made because you cryo'd at roundstart in an important role to a +1 after seeing you hold late night XO fairly well.

[solidfury7]

Carson approving of you as XO.

INSTANT -1

[Roland410]

I don't know you, at all. Carson approving anyone as anything just makes it less valid, but Nicboone said you're competent, so I'm leaning to +1, but do give me a reason to vote so.

[Fitchace]

Excellent XO, knew his job. Not a shitler and knows how to play the command role. A top notch officer if there ever was one.

I don't know you, at all. Carson approving anyone as anything just makes it less valid, but Nicboone said you're competent, so I'm leaning to +1, but do give me a reason to vote so.

First of all, thank you to everyone thus far who's taken the time to review this and cast a vote. All feedback is appreciated.

Secondly and to the matter of hand, if you want a reason to believe in Rick Rhee? Ask yourself, do you believe in humanity?

Sometimes it's easy, ya know? Easy to call it quits. To say that we're not worth it. What with all this war in the middle east, pollution, global warming....all the things you see in the news. The rapist, the serial killers, the corruption that is politics of our society.

Hell, why would any of it be worth it? Why should a commander give two shits about his men on the ground in such a society that's been wretched six ways from Sunday?
Why would a commander even sign up for the job? What's worth defending in a society like that?

Because maybe, just maybe...it ain't all bad. Maybe we can renew ourselves time to time. Maybe the marines need more than just another raging steroid shouting in their ears. Perhaps, just perhaps...they need to be reminded, you're not just fighting to protect yourselves.


You're fighting to protect them as well.

How easy is it, to just call it quits after a few deaths?
How simple would it be to tell everyone to fallback when they've taken Hydro?
How damn lazy can it be to accept our loss before we've even begun fighting?

You wanna know why Rick Rhee should be the commander? Because he isn't here to drop these marines off at LZ 1, assign a few squad leaders and sit on his hands saying 'lel whatever happens happens.'
He's here to look these vile, eight foot tall alien demonic black beings in the eye at the helm of humanity, as they seek to infect and destroy our men. Our shuttles. Our way of life...

Because being in the USCM isn't just combat duty. It's humanity duty. This will be felt in every round, with every action. There will be laughter, love, pain, revenge and emotion..
There will be vengeance for the fallen.
Praise for the brave.
And disdain for thy enemy.
....There will be humanity.

So whisper with me, towards these beast.
Whisper softly at their desires, when they ask us if they can harm us, kill us, rule us...
...Whisper...

" No."

[Fireman121]

I approve this man. Because I can and cause hes a good XO

[KEY]

-Just finished up with a pretty intense round as XO. Ice colony round where I led all the surviving marines down to LZ 2, then back to the Alaymer after aliens boarded, allowing us to flank them from behind resulting in an awesome story and very fun to play round end.

Hoping to hear feedback on this and from the other rounds i've XO'd, as well as feedback from this app in general.

Thank you all for your time.
-XO Rhee

[taketheshot56]

I like the ultra religious zealot attitude, the only thing I would change is maybe not calling away all engineers who are working on restoring power, so that they can attend briefing. Regardless +1

[Roland410]

@KEY that monologue got me laughing a bit, you seem like a good guy, have my +1.

Thank you to everyone who voted, no matter how you voted.

Thanks to your time and effort, hopefully soon these black vile devils will meet the wrath...

This is our fight.



Row Row, Fight The Xeno!
