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.
Ask what he is shooting at, then ask him to please stop shooting in the Briefing Room as the bullets could hit a marine. Then a fight could break out. Tell him to take shooting into the Firing Range.


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
Ask the Engineer's to repair it, close off the area to Engineer's only until the area is fixed.


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 that Nuke Codes should only be needed when the Marines have no chance at winning. Like this: 54 Aliens and 5 Marines.


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.
Warn the Researcher to never give grenades out to Private First Class Marines and only to give them to Spec's and SL's. I would then tell the Marine who threw the grenade to NEVER do it again unless there is an alien in there. I would give him a short ban so he would learn his lesson about Griefing.


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
Warn him about abusing the Ahelp function. And if they continue to Abuse it, Ban.


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
Kindly ask him/her to change his/her name.

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.
Tell them to not argue with a Moderator or it could get them banned. Then tell them to change the name or it will get them banned.


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.
Tell him to stop Powergaming. A doctor has no reason carrying a lethal weapon when Marines are getting killed and wounded.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
Tell them to stop the Surgery. I would understand that the Medic has little surgical training. I would advise that they please Medievac the person to the Sulaco for proper surgery without the risk of getting killed or facedhugged.


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 tell the Marines to please stop holding the match up. Then tell them through M.O.T.H.E.R or HIgh Command to get their asses down there. They aren't getting paid for nothing.


10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
Warn him about End round grief. If i see him do it again, give him a 5 hour ban.


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
Tell him to stop being a dick. He is a marine, not a clown on Hippie Station.


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Tell him that it's against the rules to just KILL another Marine just because he punched him. I would understand if it was self-defense. But if it wasn't... A permaban might come.



Any additional information you'd like to add?
Hello! I'm WaeWulf Splash! I would really love to become a moderator on Colonial Marines, I think a lot of good can come from me helping out the Staff! Ciao!

Ok so I have no clue who your character is in game, this is your first post on the forums as well despite meeting the 2 week requirement.
I really don't like your answers, they are basic and flawed and just in general not thought through very well.
-1 sorry

[slc97]

So, you have 1 forum post, and I have never seen either of your characters in game, so I am going to make my judgment solely off of your application.

Here are the problems with your answers:

1. This one isn't that bad. You should probably go ahead and sleep him if he is just pot-shotting briefing so that he doesn't grief anyone and then talk to him. From there, you do not mention your course of action if you determine him to be a griefer.

2. We tend to fix most breaches because of how badly it can fuck up our atmos system. You also do not mention any investigation into the breacher.

3. Nuke codes can only be given out by head staffers.

4. You shouldn't warn the researcher to never give grenades to a PFC. You should talk to them about whether they had any reason to believe the marine would grief when the grenade and then talk to them about being more selective about who they give grenades out to. As for the marine, you also need to look into intent in this case as well.

5. This is fine, but you could just mute his Ahelps instead of banning.

6. These are both okay.

7. This isn't so much powergaming as it is breaking marine specific rules for doctors. tell them to immediately drop the weapon and return to medbay. If they continue, it needs to eventually result in a medical jobban.

8. This is fine.

9. This is one where just a simple bioscan would work more than anything.

10. We do not warn about EORG. EORG is an immediate 3 hour ban.

11. Slipping is fine as long as it's only at the very beginning of the round. If it becomes a super persistent thing, your way of handling it would work. You should also check his notes and see if this is persistent.

12. A permaban just for improper escalation is pretty much never going to happen. You also don't mention notes or an investigation here.


So really my problem is that you fail to mention notes, investigations, or proper ban times in most of this. You seem to have a pretty basic grasp of the rules, but no grasp of staff protocols. This coupled with my complete lack of knowledge on who you are is gonna result in a -1 from me.

[WaeWulf_Splash]

I'm sorry. This was slighty rushed. Forgive me. I just now reread all of the Protocol's and Rules. I am sorry and i'm sure it will affect the outcome. As i usually keep notes on people while i'm an MP, but it just slipped my mind when i wrote this.
