Tal 'Underscore' Ravis - Commander Application

Post by BluntForce420 » 14 Mar 2018, 16:11

Byond ID: BLUNTFORCE420

Player name you use the most: Tal 'Underscore' Ravis / Tal Yahalom Ravis

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?

Yes.

Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?

Yes. Battlefield executions are a last resort used only when someone jeopardizes the mission during a critical situation, and if standard procedure of law cannot be used.

Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?

Yes. Enforcement of Marine law is the duty of the MPs and CMPs, and if I transgress Marine law, I am fully aware that I can and will be punished for it, regardless of my reasons for breaking Marine law in the first place.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?

The job of the Commander is to ensure that the round progresses from the marine side in a logical and consistent manner by issuing orders and delegating tasks to his command staff and ship crew. He does this by means of the command console, red alert card swiper things, and if need be, by battlefield execution. As a whitelisted role, the Commander is held to a higher standard of roleplay and game knowledge and their actions ingame should reflect as such.

If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?

Depending on the severity and context of the orders, several ways, following proper escalation of punishment. For example, if an SO is refusing to stay at his overwatch console, I would warn him first, if the activity continues, see to get him brigged for neglect of duty and if necessary, insubordination. If said neglect of duty continues, I would see that they'd be removed from their position or brigged further under the same charges as before with a lengthier sentence.

Generally, I would start with a warning, moving up to call the MPs in the case of Marine law breaks (if necessary), and escalating it further if disobedient behavior continues. If the situation resolves itself at the first warning, I would make a mental note of it incase it comes back later in the round, but I'd let them continue with their business provided that they are following orders.

Why should you be whitelisted?

I have played Colonial Marines on the Marine side, especially Command staff (PO/SO/XO/RO), for long enough that I know the ins and outs of what is considered to be typical gameplay, and I play consistently enough that I stay in the know of new changes so that I know what to expect on a round-to-round basis. I understand the roles of different Marines and shipside staff and the potential difficulties associated with them, and I can act fairly in my judgement by knowing how these roles play. I have expertise with playing XO, leading the operation, and have been through multiple strange events (AREs BE, rogue synths, etc.) while in command of the Almayer, and I want to take that expertise to the next level in order to provide enjoyable rounds for everyone.

An experienced and enjoyable player, whose certainly skilled enough and capable for the role. That's IF you take it seriously, and as already mentioned, show it by playing command more.
Obvious +1, but I'd like to know how you would take the reins if you wake up 30 minutes in to the round, report to the CIC and find that only a pair of SO's have barely gotten the marines on the ground?

I'd check squad compositions and any currently issued orders, and work with and around them. Reassigning squads suddenly at the start of an op can lead to really awful confusion, so working around the parameters is the safest bet provided that the orders aren't blatantly awful. Then I'd coordinate with the SOs to get needed supply planetside, then proceed with the operation as normal.

Tal is a good lad I've seen play a lot of XO. He's active in the discord and in game, I think he'll make a fine CO. +1

Oy vey is the fucking "Goy Eviscerator"

Literally the destroyer of Mp's and Ancient T1's. This was my dynamic jewish sidekick and I taught him all my tricks of the trade as the CO.

Many times when I was the CO I use to fuck off and force Tal into the macroleadership and he performed better than I could have ever expected.

And to counter the German Gimmick. We need a Jewish CO and one that will most certainly make the round fun and interesting for all!

Overall I haven’t had much problem with your character or you as a player. I actually find you rather entertaining and at least have a good sense of RP and can lighten the mood during an OP.

. The only thing that makes me hesitate on giving you a +1 is the chance that you may become a sort of “meme” CO, and personally I dislike the idea of a CO acting silly when they should be trying to lead the marines against whatever threat they may face on the battlefield.

I’ll give you my +1 though.

This due to good player interaction and the belief that you can keep yourself proper enough to not ruin an operation with silly antics and RP a more relaxed and laid back captain that still follows protocol.

If I notice you, good job. It means you're probably worth my time.

Probably one of the most recognizable XO's in my opinion. Honestly, when I hear the term XO, I default to Tal. He's a constant presence in the CIC, and is a really fun player to be around. One thing is however, he does meme it up quite a bit, but that isn't really a BAD thing, just a notable thing.

Also, (very) good tactical/leadership abilities.

Although Tal is the biggest memer i've ever seen on the discord, obnoxiously so even. He's enjoyable to stay around when he acts at least semi-seriously. I have not had the pleasure of really seeing him in command, but i know that the dude knows his shit in the field, so he's smart/less daft enough to be a CO.

Your character is quite the guy to interact with, always interesting whenever Tal's around. The application itself is good and I do not see any flaws in it. The tactical insight as a XO is greater than most, and doesn't come near a baldie. Not seen a lot of RP myself, but I'm sure I'm looking forward to it when you become a CO.

I haven't seen you go XO in a while, but I'll chalk that up to timezone differences. I've seen you play more or less every groundside role, though, and while the level of roleplay groundside is hardly anything to scream home about, you roleplay far more than most groundside personnel when you put your mind to it.

When I have seen you go XO, though, which was a few weeks back at least, I remember you were impressive. ExGame is right about the tactical acumen. The application itself is solid as well and that coupled with the above means it's an obvious +1.

I've seen him ingame and in command before. App is put together well. I'm giving this a +1. I haven't interacted with him outside of being standards in a match or two, but I've seen him around and he's alright.
