Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
Byond ID: Blade2000br
Player name you use the most: Jason 'Punk' Crowmel
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:
non-existent.
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?
But of course.
Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
I do yes.
Battlefield Executions is the primary and last effort method of disciplination/Threat remover tool at the disposal of the Commander of USS Almayer, granted by the HC of the USCM forces. This tool was granted to the CO to repel/Remove any threats to the OP, that can be harmful or that can be a danger to the crew and others.
Often a tool of disciplinary action, yes, but the primary use is to assert and make sure The Operation goes smoothly as possible, without any issues whatsoever. Only the CO is granted this and he can use at anyone at any time, given that he makes an announcement post-BE of the reason. But this can be questioned by the MPs via a fax to HC.
My comment/Opinion:
This is a very powerful tool that a whitelist possess. Thing is, it can be abused and can ruin rounds for players. Even though 95% of the players that get BEd are for a legitimate reason, there's a lot of controversy around it. My opinion on it is that it has it's used to make sure the OP doesn't just become a...how can I put it... hellhole.So, it's of my understanding that the ability to BE is an "evil needed" to maintain balance in our chaotic server.
How I gonna use it on my rounds:
This seems "cliché" but I will abstain from using my BE tool willy-nilly. Just because I can, doesn't mean I have to. It's of my understanding that the BE should be used as the Supreme court of my country: As the last instance. The last judgment. The end of all.
Therefore, I will only use of BEs that are in the direst of the situations.
Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
But of course, As CMP Main, I know the CO is not above the law and if he's to be arrested, he is supposed to accept it. I will not get over the Marine law/Nor bend it for my own amusement. I will leave that to the MPs. Nor I will try to "BE" MPs for trying to arrest me, which is something that seems to happen from time to time.
What do you think is the job of a Commander?
As the Commander of the 7th Falling Falcons, USS Almayer as popularly called, my Job as the Commander is to make sure the Operation goes smoothly, the round goes well and players have fun. Being a font of enjoyment and quality RP for the marines, which is something that surely lacks on some of the whitelisted ones.
It appears Commanders have lost more of this RP essence, and I intend to bring it back to a more shiny way, in a sense.
If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
I have several ways to handle it, here I will post the "gauge meter" that I have in mind of how I will handle all the issues*
-Green level: I will take with the person in question for being insubordinate. I will give a chance to explain himself and, regardless of the reason, I will give a warning for it and tell to carry on.
-Blue level: He's being an annoyance/nuisance for the Command and will be told to tone it down, as long as well contacting the MPs to give a light disciplinary action (ie. clearing Almayer, organizing req equipment, organizing squad prep rooms etc).
-Red level: The player in question is starting to show some endangerment for the OP itself, probably causing the death of other marines in process. I will tell MPs to take a Harsh action on then. (IE. Brig)
-Delta Level: It's a literal threat to the mission/Severely insubordinate to the point of killing people equivalent to an entire squad/Is endangering other players gameplay. This type of people are the ones that will receive the Final Instance of punishment.
*There might be instances where this code will be overridden or escalate way faster than normally would (IE. going from Blue level to Delta level because the SO started killing people on the prep room)
Why should you be whitelisted?
Being a Player in this community for over a year now, I have been enjoying myself for the time. The game is really fun and intriguing, and I wanna contribute to give more dynamism for the rounds. I feel I am confident enough to take more responsibility in the rounds and try to do something that makes everyone have fun, attempting to strive away from metas and just try new and innovative things. Might not always work, but damned I will be if I don't try.
I will go a more tactician type of CO with a more Military-esque type of attitude. Relaying commands in a more promptly way, making the information run through the chain of command. As CO, I will give the directories for the XO and SOs, as well as squads, and instruct then from there. But giving the Control of the OP for the XOs to do whatever they want with the instructions I gave, only getting in to change something or do more of a big maneuver.
I will rarely go ground side, as CO, you don't charge with your men, you order then to charge while giving moral support. This is what I gonna do, amp my marines with morale boosts messages and any other ways to make sure marines stay motived.
And before anyone that had me under XO tells here, I won't "deny" attachments for Privates, this is one of my XO gimmicks. as CO, I will do a change of such gimmick, as I do with any rank I play. I change my playstyle for any rank I play, and CO won't be different. If you take me as CO, you will see different things as seeing me as XO.
Overall, I thank you for anyone that review this app, be it a positive or negative, I accept all feedback

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
I don't really recognize your name from the rounds I've played but your application is extensive.
Your Blue level response is actually an NJP and doesn't fall under MP discretion (hence "Non-Judicial" Punishment). It doesn't affect my judgement too much but it is something I want to note.
I like what you promise here overall, with some concern about your being a CMP main. The positive side should mean you know how USMJ Law and Procedures work.
+1 from me, with the caviat that I don't recognize your Command playstyle. I reserve the right to adjust my opinon.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
The green text hurts my eyes.
But I like the application itself. You give pretty good answers, and I've seen you around the CIC and as a CMP lots. You're definitely a good leader and someone I'd like to see as a CO. +1.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
Well. I'm gonna start off by saying you donked and didn't put your staff application in the application section. Probably should've re-read that, since you're a moderator I'm pretty sure you applied
The last time I had you as an xo you had problems communicating and making yourself clear. I can't really tell if that changed but if you're able to communicate fine you'll pass as a CO. Toddy improved a lot in four months and I'll hope you have too.
Good luck with the app

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
I have not seen you as XO yet, but from experience I know you are a good leader and Really good CMP, maybe the best. I mainly want you to play more command. Good answers, app is a little confusing too. Neutral leading towards 1+, I think you could handle it if I saw you leading the marines instead of MPs for a change.
Good luck buddy.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
I have XOed some time, but I don't get it as promptly as I expected. I am also in Exams week at my uni, so this borked my XOing.

Pardon, but when did I XOed with you and I had problems communicating and making myself clear? I don't remember that occurring in the recent story. Mind telling me when it happened?
Thanks for everyone that vouched for me.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
The reason why I said you could've improved over four months. Would've been back in October or November. You had a hard time wording things in exact sentences, such as giving orders that can't be misinterpreted. What I remember was giving orders for you to relay and it got lost in translation when you said it again over squad radios. Nothing huge, but something to keep in mind when playing commander as it can lead to huge fucks up, I would know since I've done it.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
Not another fucking MP main applying for CO just so they can shit everywhere.
While a lot of the sentences I see you say clearly show English isn't your first language, you do a great job still and I doubt it will be a problem or that anyone will give a shit either. Not when we have a man who talks like a pirate whitelisted. I think you can RP just fine and hopefully handle the responsibilities of the role just fine as well. Even if I unironically think MP mains are the worst CO's +1anyway. Best of luck to you.

Re: Commander Jason Crowmel Reporting to duty. (CO app)
Crowmell is a competent MP/CMP player. Abides by the role playing standards and definitely has some level of controversy in his style.
Personally I do not like the style of paperwork ROs, it only causes issues with marines and can negatively impact the round if the marines get themselves too dungad up on the Almayer.
Haven't seen you much in the CIC, which given the style of your RO method operandi I would actually like to see before I give my plus one.
Sitting at neutral for now.
