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.
I would PM him and ask for an explanation. I would check if the player is shooting at another marine. If that is the case I would check if it's RP related escalation. If it is an RP escalation I will not interfiere, else If the player continues to fire his weapon at other marines he will recieve a temp ban for griefing. After the player is dealt with I will revive/heal all players affected by the grief( if I can, else I will inform a higher rank staff). Also a note will be added to the player's profile.


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
My first action would be to quickly fix the breach as it can cause atmos problems( If I can't I will contact a higher rank staff member). After the breach is fixed I would check logs and investigate who or what caused the breach. Once the player responsible for the breach is found he will be questioned to figure out if it was intentional or not. If it was done by mistake and was unintended, I will simply warn the player and explain why breaches are a big problem. But if it was intended a short temp ban will be placed. I would also add a note to his profile.


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.
First I would use RP and tell the marines the codes are unavailable or something RP related using USCM report. Then I would use M.O.T.H.E.R. and do a bioscan to give the marines a "hint" 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.
I would warn both the researcher and the marine that napalm is against the server rules. Then I would check the researcher's and the marine's history for any previous grief/breaking rules. If the grenade caused any severe grief ( marine death/breach etc.) I would issue a temp-ban on the marine, else I will warn the marine and add a note. After all that I will inform all marines carying the grenades that they are against the server rules and should not be used.( I would also remove the greandes if possible)


5. A player is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
I would simply inform the player that he is griefing Ahelp and ignore him. If he does not stop I will mute him and add a note.


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
I would tell him to read the server rules and change his name to a more apropriate name. I will change his name and his ID to a new more apropriate name of his choice. If I cannot do that I would inform any higher rank admin if available.

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 would tell him that this does not concern me and that he should change his name and should have read the server rules. Also, if the player has any previous notes that are related to his inapropirate name, a temp shot ban will be made.


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.
I would tell him right away to drop the gun and that Doctors are not alllowed rifles unless a specific sitation. I would check his notes to see if this was his first time. If this is a repeated action a job ban would be made, else I would tell him to return to his medical duties and add a note to his profile.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
I would infrom the squad medic that, according the server rules, he is not allowed to preform surgery and should only stabilize untill the patient gets to a doctor. I would check his notes for any previous related actions. If this is a repeated rule violation I would issue a job ban, else I will tell him to read the server rules again and add a note to his profile.


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?
I would use M.O.T.H.E.R. and RP a bioscan to "hint" the marines on the current situation, which should encourage the marines to attack.


10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
I would PM the marine and tell him that end round griefing is against the server rules and that he should read the server rules again. After that I will place a temp 3 hour ban.


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
I will first PM him and ask him why he is doing it. I would check his notes to check if its a repeated action. If there are previous noted reports of him using the soap, a short temp ban 3-4 hours will be placed. Else If he continues to do it in other rounds I will warn him that his actions are considered griefing and add a note.


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
I would check logs and ivestigate what actually happened. Question both marines and check if this was a RP escalation. If the marine that killed the other marine shot him right away after the punch, its is considered Grief. I will explain to both that a sitation like this must be RP escalated punch/knife/verbal etc. and it is explained in the server rules. If no previous notes related to the same sitations are found I would leave the sitation as is but add a note to both marines. But if the "killer" has previous history a temp ban will be placed.



Any additional information you'd like to add?
I know that most people that apply are over the age of 18 and I hope that my age does not matter that much. I am very mature and disciplined when it comes to serious sitations. I am applying because I really like ss13/CM and I have been playing for a long time now. Im not very active on the forums but I am working on that. The + is that I have more free time as I am still not occupied with the responsibilites the older people have ( like a job).

[MauroVega]

Good man,very capable

[SASoperative]

Any more input on this?

[Feweh]

No idea who he is and forum activity is meh

[Minijar]

Never heard of the guy, might help if we had applicants add some of their character names as I often know people by that.

[Grypho]

I have seen him today, he is from same timezone +2 GMT as I am and plays around 3-4PM when there is early morning in America. So he is from the minority´s timezone.

The application was... okay. I think you deserve a chance to prove whether you are a good moderator or not. Weak +1.

[freemysoul]

Half Positive on this one. Definitely seen this player around before and while some of your answers are rough, I reckon given time and effort you will make decent member of the moderation team.

[Jack McIntyre]

-1 no idea who he is.

[Feweh]

Not seeing enough activity from this guy and we've got quite a few mods now.

[apophis775]

Denied.
Noone on staff seems to know who he is, and he's not got the activity we like to have for staff members.
