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, as a moderator I would be fine with losing my whitelist status if deserving. There is no reason I can see for why anyone shouldn't be able to lose whitelist.

Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
Yes, I have read through the purpose and reasons for Battlefield Executions and understand when they should be properly used.

Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
Yes, MP's are the only ones who should be enforcing marinelaw on the ship at all times. Nobody else.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?

The role of commander is to lead an operation successfully and to keep the men under their command alive and well so they can see another day of battle in the USCM. Being of sound mind and having the tactical knowledge to lead a battalion to victory against whatever hostile force that comes up against them. Using the knowledge of the battlefield and information from those underneath you (SO's and XO's typically. Perhaps the CMO, CE, and Synthetic unit) to judge what needs to be done at a moment notice. Knowing that having direct command over a marine or squad is unnecessary and allowing the personnel under you to lead when needed and to take over when deemed necessary.

The job of commander also pertains to the control of a USCM military vessel leading a tactical operation with enough force for a commander to be taken seriously, but not enough force to cause those under your command to dismiss and come to despise you as you do not take their advice or ignore them.

If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
Overall the situation of disobeying orders while against marinelaw depends on the circumstance and reasoning of why my orders would be disobeyed.

If the order was time critical and they had decided to disobey my orders I would request a proper reason immediately on why they chose to disobey me. If the reason isn't proper I would remind them of how, as commander, they are under my command and that as per the chain of command they should be doing as I say or they will be arrested. I would then, depending on the severity, let them off if they changed their mind and do as I say, though if not I would call for MPs to arrest them and order the squad myself.

If the order was minimal when it comes to what I needed done such as getting me something, then I would have them arrested for disobeying my orders as there would be no reasoning to not do as I have asked.

In the end if what was done was mission critical or if they caused a problem that causes the death of several marines under their direct command, I would give out a Battlefield Execution for causing marine losses without a good enough justification while under my command. Though if there was nothing that could be done with the loss of marine lives I would have a talk with them in my office. In the end it all comes down to what was said and if they can back up a good enough reason to disobey what I ordered.

Why should you be whitelisted?

As an experienced player I understand what its like to play a marine, as well as understand marine law very well when it comes to what needs to be done and what is against the law.
I also see the chance at being commander to be something needed with a slight lack of commanders during many hours of the day when there needs to be an experienced commander who can lead a round or delegate the work to an XO who needs experience but advise and show them how to lead as a commander.

I also plan to create unique and new tactics for marines to experience in a round of CM rather than do same thing again and again and achieve actual marine victories.

Great to have around. In any role, really.

[Lumdor]

+1 you'll be more than capable as a CO.

Know your character quite well, and hope you bring that attitude over to the CO role.

Your application was also well done.

[SaltyMouthful]

+1 A well rounded character. Aceluke is a pretty damn good RPer, and i know he'll make a great fit with other COs.

Just a critique, play command roles more, but i have seen you in the CIC, so I trust that you are competent.

[awan]

I like our in round interactions and think you will do a good job as Commander. Hence I am going to give you a +1

[RobBrown4PM]

I've seen you plenty in the XO and SO roles and it's obvious you know what you're doing.

[edda]

I've never seen you in command roles, but I find it very hard to believe you would do the position injustice. +1.

Thanks Neth! Thanks for the vote of confidence

Chill, well I will probabably be a very calm CO.

I try to be competent in any role I do. I dislike bad people in command.
p.p.s. I haven't flirted in quite awhile.

+1 a good moderator and from my RP experiences alone he can handle the role of a commander.

Thanks! I'll be sure to RP commander with a cool patience. I do want some more competent XOs though.

I'll be sure to do more command roles. Just had to take a small break after the one-handed update came out but decided to make the commander application.

Yes, please! +1

Thanks, Lydia. I do want to SL more for Charlie. Though I feel we need more commanders who can take over when we have a lack of good XO/SOs.

+1 you'll be more than capable as a CO.

I always find it unexpected to be known and noticed for my times on the server.

I'll be playing some more command roles, going to be doing some XO/SO roles soon, so you should be able to judge me on that soon.

Thanks! I'll be sure to keep the fun interactions coming.

Nice to hear! I'll be going XO some more before this app does close.

I've never seen you in command roles, but I find it very hard to believe you would do the position injustice. +1.

Hmm, interesting you haven't seen me on, but I do know our timezones are a bit different and I haven't gone SO/XO in awhile due to the frustration of the one-handed update.


Sorry to everyone if they expected a bunch of smaller replies. I planned to wait awhile and respond to each of you in one large post to remove a lot of clutter. Don't enjoy making any app I have to include wasteful replies and make it harder to judge by anyone reading this. I'll probably wait some time to reply if I do get more +/-1's to this app.
In the end, I'll be forcing myself to go command some more in the coming days.

[Adralimas]

Ye sure +1!

[Omicega]

Nice guy. +1

[Sleepy Retard]

Easily flustered and offended, ICly and OOCly. Is a moderator. Thinks it's bad to kiss people icly.

...Thanks, I guess? Damn.
So long as it works?

Also, why does everyone have to reply to that quote?
(totally fine with this reasoning btw.)

[Lukey111]

I think it is also what they think, without having to type

I didnt have much direct contact with you IC but you were pretty reliable whenever I did, however my only complaint is that I don't believe I saw you as a XO before,
I say you should roll for XO a bit more often however I am certain that youll be an excellent CO nonetheless due to both your experience as a marine and an admin.

+1

[AmazinglyAmazing]

I think I've encountered you IC once or twice, and from what I recall it was all good. You definitely put in effort into your application and from what you said you seem to have plenty of experience and know what you're doing. I feel good about giving you a +1

[Redikalzip]

Good work, also you're good guy and I had good RP moments with you and I think you can take CO's role.

+1 from Simon! Good luck with Application.
