• viewtopic.php?f=143&t=13359 Commander Whitelist request (not seen enough)

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?
Yeah, we've all seen in the last few months no one is free to do as they please, regardless of status.

Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
I do, seems like these days BE are seldom used (For good reason) and most people let the MPs do their job. I hope to continue that trend.

Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
Yes, besides leading the Alamayer, your interests are the interests of the USCM, who can't believe himself to be a dictator or king, only a leader. We all answer to someone, and if the commander doesn't it always travels downward.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?
I think it's very interesting to see the different takes people have on the Commander, and how they try to spice up a round. I believe that the highest objective your character has as commander
is completing the objective/mission, and bringing as many people as you can back on the Alamayer (I know this is difficult, but I believe that this is what every commander would always have in their mind.)
I want the marines to win, I want them to work as a cohesive unit, and while many would simply prefer to do as they want and not really do anything but death-match, i have been surprised again and again
as a Squad Leader, that if you represent yourself as a competent leader, people will follow you.

If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
If someone is not up to a task, as a leader you only have three real choices, Discipline them, replace them with someone who can complete the task, or do the task yourself. Commanders sometimes rush themselves to the planet side because they believe it's their last chance of winning. I understand this, but from a tactical aspect it only damages the chain of command, and typically forces a dangerous and risky rescue, resulting in high failure.

Why should you be whitelisted?
I do well at leading and while being under pressure (I was in the U.S. Military for four short years, and am Currently an Georgia Police Officer). I try to let the people under me shine, and I like to see my squad's abilities develop, so I know who is the right person for the job. I think we always joke about how stupid or incompetent command can be, and I don't think i'll be anything special, but I want the commander role to be where the buck stops and maybe when people see my name, they know they might actually stand a chance.

Your character name seems faintly familiar to me, and I'm certain you haven't done anything in the few times I've played with you to make me believe you would do poorly as Commander. Being a real-life servicemember is also awesome and I hope you use it to add flavor to the way you play! +1

[Sulaboy]

I don't understand why this app hasn't been getting replies. The times I've seen you as XO ingame hasn't been anything special, but I do have to say that I believe you are up to the role in every aspect. The fact that you don't stand out in command isn't a bad thing, doing a job well draws no eyes sometimes.

You're capable of getting the game to flow, and keeping people in their roles. You'd make a fine CO. +1

[Retrokinesis]

I've seen you as XO quite often lately and, while I haven't seen too much of your RP firsthand, what I have seen of your command play indicates you'd be totally fine with the mechanical and strategic side of being a CO. That plus your answers being good is enough to convince me.

+1

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I’ve seen you play soldier roles before, and your RP is ok. I would love to play with you as a fellow SO or you as an XO. However as a fellow member of the thin blue line, we both know in real life we make decisons everyday that determine a major outcome in people’s lives including life or death, and we have to multitask so I’m giving you a +1 as I can attest to the stuff we have to deal with on a daily basis, and honestly I think it helps when it comes to the RP videogame word when you have to make decisions.

[Kavlo]

App overall looks good and you've been active ingame and making an attempt to play other command roles. My only problem with this is that you put down a ckey that doesn't match your byond ID from your old application and you've been playing Dumplinz ingame and the other one on this app doesn't even exist. Might be a simple editing error though. Either way I'm up for giving this a +1 but you may wanna fix that ckey thing.

[dumplings123]

Ooops, I forgot my Ckey and looked at my last application and assumed it was the same. My bad all

[TexasTwoStep]

+1.


Hurry up Oldman, lead us to Victory.

[Imperator_Titan]

Good application. Multiple vouches. Haven't seen you around so I can't comment on that section. I usually give the benefit of doubt however, I'd say you're up to the task.

+1

[Sargeantmuffinman]

Sure, your post history is very small but the people here say you're good enough for the job.
+1

After reviewing your application again, I must point out that it is a bit bland.
But that's more or less fir style points to make it "look" good.

The answers seem basic in what you want to do but it does get the points across.

For the battlefield execution, answer me this.
When do you think you can use it?

I'll change my point to neutral for now.

[NethIafins]

Application style: 4/10 - no style, just splodge of unmarked text
BE Answer: 4/10 - does not give me any confidence in you. BE is a tool that staff/devs provide to you, not knowing when and why is pretty much a difference between CO and XO
"Disobey" Answer: 3/10 - Your answer doesn't cover the actual question, instead you went on tangent about deploying self. Pretty much lackluster response
Reasonings: 7/10 - eh, fine answer
Visibility: 8/10 - You don't have notes and known a bit

Verdict: You better suit as an amazing XO. At the moment I don't see you need CO role.
Try again later, -1

[Aceluke123]

Alright, well. While I personally find your app to be... kinda okay-ish.
I really do wish you had more forum posts to make it seem like you're active in the community. *at least on the forums*
But I can't really get what I want all the time. The act of putting the wrong ckey in is a bit.. disconcerting at it is what 100% matters when it comes to actually have your whitelist be put in. Nor did you reply that your whitelist key, someone else had to do it for you.

Overall as Neth has said you are known a bit, as well as don't have any notes. You also are pretty darn active. Which is a plus.

In the end, through from your app (though rather difficult), it looks as though you really do wish to do the role/whitelist justice and believe making the game fun for marines and xenos rather than provide a simple 'win' is your objective.

So I will give you a +1 to your app.

[Nantei]

App is kinda meh, but it's saved by the fact that I have played with you as XO multiple times, and you seemed well above average. +1 from me.

[Aceluke123]

As a notice to emerald the ckey is actually

“dumplinz”

[Emeraldblood]

Right, to get a confirmation, your ckey is dumplinz and not dumplings123? I need the exact ckey if we're going to place this.

[dumplings123]

The Ckey is "Dumplinz" sorry about the confusion, I don't know why I put the forum username in the box.

[Emeraldblood]

Right, just added you to the whitelist so you're good to go. Good luck.
