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:

No appeals or applications made.

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.

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

Yes.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?

A true king leads his troops to battle.

The job of the Commander is not an easy one. It is to lead the USCM Marines, a rather respected and extremely intelligent part of the U.S. Military to victory against any forces whether it be U.P.P., C.L.F. or possibly some other alien life form.

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

I have a Mateba, Telescopic baton and MP force for a reason.

Why should you be whitelisted?

I know how CM works, the gameplay and tactics that come alongside all maps.

[z a n e b o t]

Yeah okay +1, competent player

[Ghostdex]

The format is fucked up but you know how CM works, +1 sure.

I cant tell if this is real or a shitpost

What makes you say that? I answered all the questions as they should be. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer them in-depth.

[Sulaboy]

Shit app, but CO is supposed to be easy to get +1

Edit: Changing this to a -1 because the formatting actually pains me

[Bancrose]

Yeah Okay Man. +1

[Slduggy]

Alright. I've never seen XO Thor or even LT thor. Neutral for now.

[Asmodius]

Alright. I've never seen XO Thor or even LT thor. Neutral for now.

I play Antonnio Popillii Laenates. I used to command frequently not too long ago, the character isn't retired, just not as played as much.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

This is literally a bare bones application, and others have put way more effort into theirs and have been around as long as you.

What would your Command style be?

How would you react if an entire squad was disobeying orders because they were going full on unga and getting slaughtered?

[VortexGaming]

Yeah, I would have to agree with soldier. It could use a lot more work and thus needs some more questions to fill in details.

Can you explain to me some scenarios where you would BE a person ending their round short?

Heres also an Issue I have been seeing in some commanders. Say if there are no MP's what so ever and someones causing problems on your ship, how would you react?

In that case +1 Antonio is more than competent.

[Vampmare]

If this is the amount of effort you're willing to put into getting the whitelist, I don't really see why you would want it and should have it.

I have seen you ingame, but only as a private and that's not something that really shows HighRP. People have been accepted while playing a bare minimal of command before, but that's not something I support.

I'll see if I can catch you ingame and actually see your commanding skills and depending on your answers to the questions inside the thread, I might change, but -1 for now.

EDIT:
Okay, your responses below are top notch, but your initial application is big F to the others applying for Commander. I'll jump back to netrual until I see you ingame.

EDIT EDIT:
So since this post I havent seen you once in command, I'm gonna have to change my vote for the third time and this will be final. -1.

[RedsPro]

+1 Thor is a competent XO.

What would your Command style be?

A Commander is supposed to lead from the CiC, using his subordinates, the Staff Officers to use their best judgment when it comes to quick situations. However, in the grand scheme, the Commander's word trumps all when it comes to beginning operation orders. I am a vocal Commander over the Command Console to those who have played rounds with me as XO Laenates. I don't see why people with the most important role would bother enough to go ground side and get themselves slaughtered. I'd send the XO down before myself if they want the issues ordered to make themselves more accurate, faster, steadfast, etc. I say this but there will be some rounds where I go down but I prefer to lead from the back. I have a tendency myself to lead the charge and it usually gets me killed for the greater cause.

Typically when this happens, you can't stop it. Marines tunnel vision and blood lust and they shoot at the first thing that moves. Only after they take some casualties or realize that they begin to have no support that it's too late for them. They crawl and beg to command for immediate help, beg POs for CASEVAC and OBs. In this situation, I'd typically tell the remainder to remain at FOB and resupply and get all of their casualties and injured to medbay. As a groundside player, I realize the issue of holding FOB and the Boiler gas, Crushers and Queen rushes that come along with it. I wouldn't hesitate to use my pilot console in the CiC to command the Alamo/Normandy if I deem the PO unstable or as having bad judgment. I would never BE a PO for a bad launch as it was their judgment they were losing groundside. If the Queen touches the console outside, the Dropship is locked and it's their duty that it remains safe and within control of the USCM.

There's not much to do to an entire squad that has disobeyed orders besides rally the remainder and try to salvage the situation. It happens commonly and is unavoidable in some situations. Sometimes, the only thing you can do is salvage the situation, especially if late-joined and the Marines are losing.

That’ll do commander

If the player was volatile, extremely hostile, undermining, plotting, etc. I wouldn't hesitate.

Stealing the megaphone: "The Commander is a massive fuckface, no one listen to him, he's twenty pounds of shit in a fifteen pound bag." You're done for. Belittling and undermining in briefing surrounded by the whole crew is a good way for your round to get ended shortly. Hope the MPs get to you before I do.

Sedition and traitorous acts. You can't stop a mutiny with a BE however, that gets them even more riled up. Turn code red, allow MPs to retrieve their riot gear, flashbangs, tear-gas, whatever they need and handle it themselves. You are not God as a Commander.

Player was detrimental to operation, I.E., if you shoot the modules off of the tank purposefully, you can make sure I wouldn't let them do that against for the rest of the round.

A BE in my honest opinion would be more merciful than perma for the rest of the round, or until an execution is authorized.

If there are no MPs in a round, the last thing you want is a mutiny, BEs are a good way to cause those, don't BE the criminal or whatever they may be. Marines typically sort this type of issue out by themselves, usually with trays and fists if the crime they were doing was that bad. Medbay will treat them afterwards and then I'll deal with them once everything has settled. It becomes a major hassle when the Commander attempts to deal with things themselves, especially alone. Players tend to aide the person against the Commander by pushing the Commander around or grabbing and moving the person who is being prosecuted.

However, if it was an MT or some other shipside staff, it would most likely be much easier to deal with the issue as it would just be me and then. With a flash and handcuffs, I'd be able to solve the problem myself and dish out Marine Law as it should be. I wouldn't go out of my way however to arrest for minor crimes, I would have rolled an MP role in the lobby had I wanted to do that. Minor crimes on my own decision will probably go off with a slap on the wrist with major crimes leading to more severity.

Alright you basically got the grasp of it. Ill remain neutral leaning towards +1. Ill change my answer after a few more people have commented their opinions

[Arbs]

You could at least act like you give a crap about the app at least.

Still ive seen you and i can be confident to +1 this.

Good luck.

[NoahKirchner]

god this app is fuckterrible it hurts my eyes and makes me want to blow my brains out

but you can read and probably won't SSD at roundstart so +1

[awan]

I am going to say neutral.

Pro's
1. I think if/when you take it seriously you can be a good commander.
2. Your replies to the questions in this topic were detailed.
3. You seem to be improving in regards to point 2 on the cons.

Cons
1. I dont want to see applications like this. It is a meme and had 0 effort it upsets me hard.
2. There is quite a long note history and stuff with staff.
3. A part of me is afraid you will not take the CO role seriously and uphold the standards I would like to see.
4. I feel once someone gets CO they almost never lose it. If you done goofed removal likely wont happen.
5. Imo the standards of a CO have lowered quite a bit in the last 3 months since apop is gone. This wont make them rise.

Hence the neutral. I dont want to reply a -1 for these cons. But you will not get a +1 either.

[Sleepy Retard]

-1, the whitelist is to filter out baldies who don't know how to command.

You barely play command anymore, and put NO fucking effort what so ever into the app. Just fucking try - you didn't.

Pretty much this. Only one line in this application has more than 15 words and it only has 50. Take a look at the approved Commander apps and you can see where you dun goofed.

-1.

-snip-

1. I dont want to see applications like this. It is a meme and had 0 effort it upsets me hard.

The Commander whitelist is a filter out for BRs and that is mostly what it is used for when it comes to literacy, stratagem, etc. A Commander's main skill is communication and I am extremely vocal over the Command comms for morale, orders and keeping my men updated on everything going on in the field.

2. There is quite a long note history and stuff with staff.

If you look at my notes, I have few to no malicious notes at all. All of my notes either come from boredom or trying something new, or something was just interpreted incorrectly. I have no notes of went around and murdered fifteen marines and then went SSD. Some of them are retaliatory as well. I have no issues regarding staff besides some few people who I think dislike me.

3. A part of me is afraid you will not take the CO role seriously and uphold the standards I would like to see.

I'll be real, it's a whitelist, I'm not psychotic and going to whip my Mateba around just blasting it at the RO because he denied me a BC for my Mateba.

4. I feel once someone gets CO they almost never lose it. If you done goofed removal likely wont happen.

Me playing a PFC separate from other roles is extremely different. I can do every single role on the ship, have never been player reported before because I can't be bothered to grief that badly and am just well versed in the community of CM. I know the community and how everything works, if people just test me for being Asmodius like they do Heinz, similar retaliatory action will be taken.

5. Imo the standards of a CO have lowered quite a bit in the last 3 months since apop is gone. This wont make them rise.

Commander was never really the hardest whitelist to get, it always came down to someone playing XO and SO like four rounds and apping. Just look at Omicega's app, have you ever actually seen them play XO or SO? They apped for Commander and still got it, which should tell you a little something about the whitelist. I play Command on a different character, Antonnio Popillii Laenates. He refers to the Commander as Legate, the XO, himself as Laticlavius, SOs stay Lieutenants and there are different ranking for which the squads are divided into.

I play Antonnio Popillii Laenates for command, just haven't in the past week or two. He is my SL and Command role character.

I created a new alias to separate the shit that is associated with Thor and try to make a new name on a different character, it worked but, I only created him for Command roles.
