Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each of the following situations. Do not write on the same line as the situation - use the space below it or make space as needed. Failure to do this proves your inability to follow instructions and your application will be automatically denied.

1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.: PM the shooter and ask if it was actually random or accidental, If it was random, place a 3 hour ban.


2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.: I dont think that there is something that I could do about that, I would leave it up to a developer to fix possible problems with the map.

6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.: I believe that would be an IC issue.

Did you mean Moderator?

[AkaBinxstar]

No, I wasnt aware that I had filled out a moderator application until a few minutes ago.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

No, I wasnt aware that I had filled out a moderator application until a few minutes ago.

There is no actual mentor application.

You PM Jerkface00
viewtopic.php?f=62&t=10396

However be warned the waiting list is quite long. To put things in perspective I was notified 6 months since I put in for mentor it would have been my turn and this was when I was promoted to Senior Moderator.

Good luck.

[AkaBinxstar]

So If I leave this up to apply for mod and that doesnt work out, can I still apply for mentor?

[AkaBinxstar]

Basically what I am asking is, can I just apply for moderator.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

Basically what I am asking is, can I just apply for moderator.

If that's what you want I went through your answers, but alot of them although some right, some kinda wrong, most were kinda like minimum effort. I'll go through them later and throw you some extra questions to judge your abilities.

[AkaBinxstar]

Alright. Thanks

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I've gone through your answers, most of these were kinda right, some kinda wrong, but mostly I think this was minimum effort in some

► Show Spoiler

1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.: PM the shooter and ask if it was actually random or accidental, If it was random, place a 3 hour ban.

-IC Issue if it was an accident, but remember we have a ban escalation procedure. (Warning note, 3 hour ban, 24 hour ban, 3-7 day ban, permaban)


2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.: I dont think that there is something that I could do about that, I would leave it up to a developer to fix possible problems with the map.

-Although it cant happen anymore unless its from a Predator SD if it did happen, you should investigate why and how, and aheal those effected by it if it was a bug.


3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.: Assist them in finding a prep room and advise them.

-Call a mentor if you can, otherwise you can do that as well.

-Fine although a little verbal judo doesn't hurt

-Fine

6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.: I believe that would be an IC issue.

-Fine, but if it's obvious they're new, you can get a mentor to assist them

-Fine

8. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?: Make a queen mother directive to attack the marines, if no queen is available to call down the ship, or make an ARES message informing the marines of xeno numbers with advice to attack.

-Fine except mods can't do ARES.

-Also considered round start shenangians

11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.:3 day ban for improper escalation.

-Little harsh, if the player has no previous notes, you don't jump right to a 3 day ban

12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.:Message an Admin or higher for assistance.

-Fine

13. There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.:Tell them to tone it down and be careful about what they say.

-Fine

14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.: Perma ban.

-You would issue a 7 day ban and file for a permanent ban

15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.:Explain to them that it is against the rules and possibly ban them from xeno.

-Fine, although you would job ban them if they have a note history of bad xeno behavior

-Fine

17. A xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different xeno player complains to you that it's metagaming/failRP to call it a "dropship".:Explain to them that terminology is not metagaming.

-Fine

-Investigate on how they came to this information, and if its meta, follow standard ban escalation procedures

-Same thing if you find a rule break, follow ban escalation procedure.

20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.:Correct them on the rule and enforcement of said rule, then also correct the receiver of both.

-Make sure you do this in a private setting, try not to make other staff look bad, let them correct their mistake.

Any additional information you'd like to add?
No.

So I think you could do ok with a trial, but I want to ask you some additional questions, and based on your responses from our normal questions, you may need to put some extra thought into these.


1. A player has ahelped that a RPG spec has killed a ravager with an HE rocket, but in doing so he has killed 3 marines including the person making the ahelp who were nearby and put 2 into critical due to the explosion. How would you handle this?

2. A player sends an ahelp at round start and says "Hey I forgot I left doctor on, I really want to play marine this round, can you adememes help me." How would you handle this?

3. A player sends an ahelp that another player is roleplaying as a Muslim and reports him for LRP because the player said "By Allah's will, we will destroy these bugs."
How would you handle it?

How would you handle it?

1:I would mark it as an IC issue and explain to them that friendly fire, unless intentional, is not rule break. No punishment.

2:I would tell them to make sure to double check their settings before pressing ready. I would then tell them to cryo and send them back to the menu and allow them to rejoin the game. But under a different character name.

3:Explain to the ahelper that playing religious characters is not low RP unless it goes to the extreme to where players are willing to kill for said religion.

this also

why did you highlight that in yellow

also why did you apply for mentor

[Sleepy Retard]

Oh? Where?

It would appear, by chance, you've written on every single line

[AkaBinxstar]

Just so people would be able to tell the difference. If you asking why I used yellow specifically, I dont know how to change the color.
