On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? 30+

Do you have a Skype account (Skype is REQUIRED)? Yes I have the old staff added already

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? Yes I was an admin before I got loaded with life problems, which made me inactive then kicked.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? Yes the original one before the latest map update.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before? Yes it should be on here

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

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines? No

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.
If a player is firing a gun during briefing, I will freeze his character, give him a warning, and heal everyone who was damaged by this player.



2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
If the Sulaco was breached, I would cut off the area with a barricade (like a wall) so players cannot be sucked in and or be damaged by the breach. Rebuild the walls so it's no longer breached, and fix the atmosphere so its playable again.



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.
Obviously, without a doubt, I will not give them the nuke code. Since the ratio of marines is way higher then aliens. I would send the message to the Sulaco denying, and roleplaying depending on the situation.



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.
Everything on the server is traceable. I would look and trace the situation, and suggestion a penalty (ban) to head admin and wait on their response before I take actions to my own hand. I would let the player know that were involved, what they did wrong and warn them about the situation they are in


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
Simple, be professional and tell them to knock it of before he/she gets kicked (ban for a short period of time).


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
Rules are rules and warn them to change it next round. If not I will consult an admin to change it by force. Note it down on his note he failed to obey orders.


6a. The marine is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, noone has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
I will consult with HeadAdmin, and wait for them to deal with it, since I am a moderator.


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.
Warn him about the situation, and tell him to head his way to medbay. If he doesn't comply, I would warn him that he is breaking the rules of roleplaying and he will face trouble. If he still doesn't comply, I will consult a ban suggestion to admin and note this situation and hold screenshots for proof. I would also assign a new doctor.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
If I recall squad medics aren't allowed to perform any surgery. They are medics to heal and salvage any war wounds, to perform surgery it would have to be Sulaco Doctor. (roleplaying done properly)


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?
Roleplaying is key, so I would act out a situations that would make the marines head over and fight the aliens. Also I will talk to the commander to make sure he is doing his job properly. I would consult with the Queen to do her job and play more aggressive, because they need hosts to reproduce.


10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
Rules are rules, I noticed this a lot and I will issue them a warning to stop and then note/ screenshot then consult a ban.



11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
Tell him to stop, and knock it off, if not I will delete the soap, and if I dont have that power I will report it to admin I have ban the player for like 5 mins so the marines can leave and get ready to go to breifing.


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Everything is traceable. I will look up what has happen. Then I would warn both of them and report the issue, screenshot and note everything, and let headadmin deal with it. If they continue I would let sercurity prison them for the round or ban them for the rest of the round.



Any additional information you'd like to add?
Really miss the Colonial Marine family, I was an ex admin who got fired because of inactivity, I had personal problems, and I had to leave my job as admin for a good while. I really want to join back, and play colonial marines on my free time. I will be active all the way until July 4th which is my ship out day to be an actual marine (bootcamp).

[Lostmixup]

You do know moderators can ban people right?

[Feweh]

You just returned to CM recently, I think you've been back for less than a few days. I'm all for staff coming back, but there's a huge difference between months and a couple of years here.
I watched you play last night and you're EXTREMELY immature just going by the way you handled yourself in-game. Even the way you spoke to staff last night when TR was asking you to change your name was really ignorant and gave off a really poor attitude.


Unrelated but you need to change your name as it's breaking our RP name rule.

-1

[TR-BlackDragon]

I think a -1 is in order from me as well. As when I told you your name was in violation and you instead argued with me yet... here this is and look at your responce.
6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
Rules are rules and warn them to change it next round. If not I will consult an admin to change it by force. Note it down on his note he failed to obey orders.

Again you also did number 6a. to me. Saying you have had it for years with no issues. So yea if you can obey the rules. I don't see you being able to enforce them.

Mods are here to enforce the rules. You have all the powers to be able to handle almost any situation cept a few things. Bans are one of the things you can do

[23:33:32]ADMIN: PM: TR-Blackdragon/(Ravager (Yautja Killer))->Obey_StyleZ/(Marshall Mathers): You can Keep the name Only until Apop gets around to handling it. Due to your being a donor. But the rule is one someone recognizes it it has to be changed. thats how its always been. I cant have you change it now becasue your donor gear is linked to it.

[Obey_StyleZ]

I have no problem changing it?

[Hycinth]

-1, I've never actually had a good interaction with you in game, and I don't really like your answers.

[apophis775]

I'm denying this.

Specifically, after reviewing the logs, I'm a bit discouraged. As a former staff member, you know that:

1. I play no favorites for anything ever
2. I greatly dislike people who disrespect the staff.

Two specific things stand out for me in the logs presents:

This seems like you are "talking down" to him, even if it wasn't your intention, the wording seems that way.

Code: Select all

[23:27:45]ADMIN: PM: Obey_StyleZ/(Marshall Mathers)->TR-Blackdragon/(Ravager (Yautja Killer)): I had this name for 4 years boy come on 

And this:

Code: Select all

[23:34:09]ADMIN: PM: Obey_StyleZ/(Marshall Mathers)->TR-Blackdragon/(Ravager (Yautja Killer)): like i said we will talk to apop about it i had this for like 3 years mate i dont know why your making a big deal

He was making a big deal about it, because it's literally his job. We crack down very hard on the name rule now, as well as violations of the RP standards. It's his job to enforce the rules, and his agreement of you keeping it till I was able to handle it is acceptable, but you seem very dismissive of it.

Considering, that if you had been accepted, he would your peer, I find it a bit troubling that you'd be so dismissive and argumentative, especially knowing our stance on that first-hand from your time in staff.
