On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? Two rounds a day as bare minimum.

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? Moderator and Trial Admin here. Failed trial due to a decrease in activity.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? Pre-alpha.

What other servers do you play on? Currently, none.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM? Bay, Polaris, uhhhhhhhh.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before? Moderator, accepted.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where? Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines? Don't think so.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, where and When (roughly)? Paradise permaban - released the singularity during my first days of learning SS13. Spoken to staff unofficially, it would be lifted as soon as I made an appeal.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)? Used it during my previous staff period.

Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each situation (BELOW) the situation. If you start it on the same line, I'll assume you can't follow directions and auto-decline your application.



1. A player is firing his weapon in the briefing area near the start of the round.
Ignore if no one is harmed, let MP deal with him. If a marine is hit, quickly check if maybe it was a properly escalated fight. If not, a-sleep, message, check notes. Determine punishment based on notes and answers. Add a note, heal the harmed marine if he did not fight back.


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
Determine cause. If it was caused intentionally, not by SM explosion or accidentally in a firefight (broken window), use fix breach verb and warn/punish the involved, depending on notes.


3. The marines want the nuke codes because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who.
Nuh-uh. I'm not head staff.


4. A Sulaco researcher has made several napalm grenades and hands them out to marines. One of the marines throws the grenade into Logistics. There are no admins or other moderators online.
Napalm doesn't fuck atmos anymore, warn/punish the marine if he harmed anyone with the grenade.


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
Link him some soothing music and the location of the nearest pharmacy stocking rectal trauma cream. Get another staff member to deal with him if it becomes really over the top. Add a note about disrespect if no one else is available.


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
Ask him to change it, add notes and start slowly escalating punishments until he does.


6a. The marine is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, no-one has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
Doesn't change anything, still force him to change it. Unless it's Bill Carson. Bill Carson kept his The Good, The Bad and The Ugly name despite headstaff being notified. Hmm...


7. You see a Sulaco Doctor with an M41A rifle strapped to his back running around the briefing area. There are wounded in medbay, and the other doctor is in surgery.
Request that he drops it and returns to his job. If he's non-compliant and there's no explanation behind why he was doing that in the first place, add a note. Job-ban if he refuses.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
That's a note and a warning/job-ban/ban depending on notes.


9. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the Sulaco, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
MOTHER announcement, Queen Mother report, USCM HC report, basically any RP option. Nothing more, nothing less.


10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
A-sleep, check notes. 3-hour automatic ban on first offense, more serious punishment if it's not the first time. Slap a note on.


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
If he keeps that up, warn him to stop. Unless he has previous notes, let MP deal with him.


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Punching is a harm intent action, so if there was more of it than a single punch, a violent response was warranted. Investigate and determine.



Any additional information you'd like to add?
I make bomb-ass pancakes.

I've had a fair amount of experience with Derpislav and their characters in my time on CM and the Discord, and I can safely say I'd be happy to see them on staff, as they're not only a competent roleplayer, but a knowledgeable and reasonable member of the community.

Many a time has Derpislav come to my aid and given me advice, answers, and someone friendly to talk to.

Good luck with the application, Derpi!

[Karmac]

Who is Derpislav?

Jokes aside, the staff team could use more furries experienced and reliable members, +1.

[Jackie Estegado]

Do you even need to reapply here if you were once a mod?

[Azmodan412]

Derpyhooves you return! +1!

[Snypehunter007]

Having personally with you, it appears that you are a nice guy.

On to your responses though:

1.) Fine
2.) Good
3.) Good
4.) Okay
5.) A simple no response would do to start bit adding a note for pointless ahelps is good.
6.) Good
6a.) Good
7.) Good
8.) What else would you do in this case?
9.) This one is good but just as an FYI, mods can't do MOTHER reports for nowhat.
10.) Don't really need a note or sleep for this one but the rest of it is good.
11.) Fine
12.) Okay.

Some of your answers have technicalities that you wouldn't know right now but the rest of the answers are good.

I'll give a +1.

[Derpislav]

8.) What else would you do in this case?

Not much else to do. Medics are not allowed to do surgery no matter the circumstances, and it's not like I can de-surgery the people he already treated.

10.) Don't really need a note or sleep for this one but the rest of it is good.

I'm fairly sure we're supposed to note EORG. Sleeping him allows me to cut the amount of attack logs generated while I ban him.

[Helgraf]

+1 I liked all of Derpislav's answers, and I just like them in general.

[forwardslashN]

I thought you were an excellent staff member back when I joined up. But you've been really salty about a lot of stuff in the last few months. What's changed to make you decide to return?

Like all the answers, which is uncommon, and awesome player.

[Snypehunter007]

I'm fairly sure we're supposed to note EORG. Sleeping him allows me to cut the amount of attack logs generated while I ban him.

There EORG ban counts as the note.

[Derpislav]

I thought you were an excellent staff member back when I joined up. But you've been really salty about a lot of stuff in the last few months. What's changed to make you decide to return?

I resigned due to poor psychical health. I'm back on my feet.

Also please note that most of my salt is ironic and I'm repeating what genuinely salty people are saying mockingly. The things I'm genuinely salty about I can think of is the ongoing removal of Research features with three barely useful xeno items in return (which I understand, but hey, I can be displeased), Crusher dominating the entire xeno family (changed with recent flamethrower buff, giving it a whole SINGLE weakness, now other castes have a point in evolving at all!) and hugger combat, which I ignore repeating "it's getting removed soon, it's getting removed soon" as my mantra.

There EORG ban counts as the note.

I stand corrected. I always preferred to double-check, in case the ban message doesn't register. They had a habit of rarely disappearing.

[Feweh]

You've been pretty salty since coming back and you've said some odd things in Mchat that almost landed you in-trouble.

[Derpislav]

You've been pretty salty since coming back

Poe's law. It's hard to differentiate my over-the-top parody of salt from actual salt because there are people out there who would actually say something like that.

you've said some odd things in Mchat that almost landed you in-trouble.

Uh... sorry?

[apophis775]

Something about explicitly describing lizard sex.

[Derpislav]

I'd argue it was more along the lines of rather vaguely answering purely biological questions with no erotic subtext, but I've noticed not to do that.

[Rain7x]

I like Derpislav. They seem like a nice person, but what /n brought up concerns me a little bit. Otherwise +1.

[Feweh]

After discussing this will be denying your application, sorry.
