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 he damages any equipment or people tell him to stop, if he continues kick him, if he has multiple offences Ban him, however if everyone finds this activity fun then the charges can be dropped


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.

Don't deal with it unless it was created by someone greifing


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.

Tell them to wait if only one or two wants one, they still have a very large advantage over the 4 aliens also suggest they change there strategy or try to reinforce their men at the front line


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.

Ask him why he did this, check if the researcher had the correct in game knowledge of aliens to justify building these then (depending on damage done to people or station) and if the marine continues kick or ban him


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.

Politely ask him to stop/if it's not disrupting you have a laugh the players fun is the top priority


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.

Ask them to change it next round and or change it for them

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.

State that although the rules may have changed these are the current rules, check if his name offends anyone


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.

Ask him to get back to his post and to remove the weapon, if he refuses remove the weapon and take him back to his post, if he still refuses let the MP jail him for "Neglect of duty", however leave it to IC unless it is damaging gameplay


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.

Check to see how many doctors are in FOB and try to help him, but don't disturb the game to much if it's all ok with the players


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?

Encourage the marines with "an upped pay rise" or another benefit to there character, or you could allow the Aliens accesses to the shuttle. Another situation you could introduce is giving the marines an incentive to invade, for example say an object they need is on the Sulaco/put one there as long as it doesn't un-balance the sides


10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.

This is a major offence, ask him to stop if it's not to serious, but kick him if it's mildly serious and ban him if it's serious


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.

If there isn't an ahelp ask the other marines if they are ok with this, if not then ask the soap marine to stop, or consider removing the soap from his possession


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.

Point out that, that is an inappropriate response to that level of violence, ask the dead marine if he is ok and possibly revive the dead marine/kick the alive marine, ask the dead marine if he considers this griefing if he does then respond appropriately



Any additional information you'd like to add?
I see this as an opportunity to help other people run something fun, I hope you consider me and I hope if I am selected to stay on for a while. Furthermore (this probably wont help me) I am Dyslexic and Color blind, this should only effect my spellings in quick reaction moments, and I can't see the color purple, also I get confused between similar shades, that is the only problems I have. Also I have been playing on this server on and off for over a year and a half atleast, however the Charactor name Larry Roberts is more recent, my older ones might have been John Kayden or Jayden Kay

[LouisLouiz]

Sorry I forgot to put +0:00 GMT, england

[johners12345]

... Soo much -1.


You didn't answer a few questions.

You didn't put much thought or interaction into your replies and they seem too biased towards just kicking or banning the player.

As a few minor pointers

in number seven you said possibly kick them FROM the WHOLE entire round, in my opinion that is a bit over the top, At the most you make a note and let the MP's handle it.
Also in question 10, EORG ( end of round griefing) is not allowed, and you should deal with it swiftly. this is one of the few situations where immediate 3 hour bans are actually said to be used no warning.

answer 11 I would imagine that is a MP issue for neglect of duty.

Lastly, while it is UNLIKELY that someone would find a person shooting at them @question 1. Even if people find it amusing you should still act.

Thats really the only pointers I could give you. Hope it helps

[LouisLouiz]

Thank you I do believe I answered all the questions though, could you expand and what you mean by that, thankyou

[johners12345]

Thank you I do believe I answered all the questions though, could you expand and what you mean by that, thankyou

Ah wait, apologies. It was sorta written short and blended in with the question. I suggest you go back and double space your answers from the questions, and color code the questions and answers, like make the Questions red and your answers blue.

If the marines are enjoying this and all being involved let it slide, if they aren't warn him not to do it regularly or repetitively, but don't kick him

If there isn't an ahelp ask the other marines if they are ok with this, if not then ask the soap marine to stop

[Feweh]

-1 no idea who you are

[johners12345]

Snip

Okay.. I think you should just back out at this point, building on what le feweh said.. You only have FIVE forum posts, Which shows that you have not really put time into getting to know the ACTUAL community, though I guess it could also mean you just don't post enough, you should make yourself well known among the game, Because Feweh tends to know most if not everyone. Also, you should of just fixed your answers... Not just posted a "redo" in the comment section..

[Mitchs98]

Er. I'm placing my -1 on this as well. Not only do I not know who you are, your answers are, to be frank, terribad. Must if not all of the answers are wrong entirely and not something any staff member should be doing ever, on any game, on any server. I'd recommend as Johnners says to get yourself known more and rethink your application entirely. No one wants to accept someone that made a forum account solely to post a moderator application.

[coroneljones]

-1
Dont know who you are

In my opinion alot of the answers to the questions just arent right,Out of all the bannable offences you only ban once,letting the others slide for "a kick" wich does nothing,or letting it slide if "Its fun/everyone wants it" wich in itself is bad reasoning,even not stopping a squad medic from doing surgery,or patching a breach

[LouisLouiz]

Surely if the breach was caused in IC to help one side it wouldn't be considered griefing or have I read that wrong

[Lostmixup]

Did you make a second post?

Skimmed through it, -1.

[johners12345]

Surely if the breach was caused in IC to help one side it wouldn't be considered griefing or have I read that wrong

Breaches aren't allowed period.

[Jack McIntyre]

-1 as well from me mate, sorry mate. Same as all have said.

[freemysoul]

Negative on this App sorry. Alot of the answers are totally wrong and as well as the fact I not seen you on the server before (Unless of course you came out when I was away for 2 months) - Free

[TR-BlackDragon]

Yea sorry I'm going to have to say negative on this app cause most of the answers are wrong and invalid. Your applying to be a mod. Only admins can ignore rules if the rule break is deemed more fun for the current round. Mods enforce the rules as they are stated unless an admin has told them to ignore a rule for a particular round.

[Adjective]

I'm not going to state an extended reasoning. For all of the reasons stated by my peer staff and players. -1

[TR-BlackDragon]

Alright I'm going to have to go with denied for now.. locking this and will move in 24 hours.
