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.
-Learn whether the firing was accidental or on purpose, if it was on purpose see whether he was being malicious or just stupid. If stupid just warn him not to do it again and slap on a note. If it was malicious ask him to stop and explain himself, sleep him if he isn't stopping. Unless he pulls of the most belivable telling of the story of an alien taking control of him and making him start clicking furiously on the screen explain to him that he wasn't allowed to do that. Then if he has notes regarding similar issues a 6-24 hour ban or if he didn't have any 1-6 hour depending on the seriousness of the shooting.


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
-Fix the breach then figure out what caused the breach, if it was caused by Mt incompetence resulting in SM exploding then give them warnings and notes, if any of them had notes of similar occurances then give those people 1 day jobbans and notes, if any of them had bans because of this previously apply increased sentence, if needed apply 7 day ban, forward the issue to the Permaban request forum.
If it was caused intentionaly contact the offender and make him explain himself. If it's a small 1-2 tile breach then tell him that causing breaches is strictly illegal and cannot be used to gain a combat advantage, give a 1-2 hour ban, if repeat offender increase sentence if needed request permaban on forum.
If it was intentional and caused a massive breach for example exploding the SM, then tell him to explain himself, explain to him how much of a big bad boy he is, then if he doesn't have notes give him a 1-2 day ban together with notes, but if he has done it before apply 7 day express delivery to Permaban request forum. Then ask an admin with healing powers to heal anyone that got killed by the breach.


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.
-Only headstaff can give nuke codes, and its unwarranted anyways. If the marines refuse to hunt down the aliens give them a M.O.T.H.E.R. scan, if they still refuse send USCM message warning them of the things that can happen to them if they refuse to complete their mission.


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.
-Sleep the marine to avoid further napalm throwing and contain the fire if needed. Tell him to explain himself, tell him what he did wrong, if he is positive for griefing notes apply 3-6 hours of ban, else 1-2 hours plus notes. Next warn the researcher of the problem he is partly responsible for, if clean give him a warning and a note, else apply 2-4 hours of ban and notes.


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
-Mute his Ahelps and let the fire consume him instead of me.


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
-Warn him about the rule, rename him to whatever he wants (ofcourse if its within rules), slap a note on. If he is non-compliant or is a repeat offender apply a few hours ban with appropiate notes. If in future he still breaks the rules forward to Permaban forum together with a 7 days ban.

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 him that not knowing the rules is just worse, send him to read it and process as before.


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.
-Remind him that he is supposed to be healing the marines instead of imagining to be them. If he doesn't comply or has notes of doing it apply a day jobban with notes.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
-Tell him that Squad Medics are not allowed to do surgery, give a days jobban with notes, if he already has notes increase the bantime by 2-3 days.


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?
-Mother scan, if marines still don't get going, tell them that USCM is hosting a pizza party and if they don't get going in a half hour they won't make it in time.


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


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
-If he keeps trolling after briefing tell him to stop, if he doesn't, if doesn't give a hour ban.


12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
-Investigate combatlogs, hear out what happened from both parties, if the other marine's punch was following the escalation rule then he is good, otherwise give him a warning and a note. If the killer killed without there being anything between the punch and the killing that would justify it for example a knife being used or gun pulled by the other guy then apply a 12 hour ban, if he has notes of previous problems increase to 2 days and more if needed + notes.



Any additional information you'd like to add?
I WILL macro admining.

[Scrat505]

Going over your answers -

1: Solid.

2: All breaches besides those caused by the SM or a Predator gauntlet are to be patched. Fine otherwise.

3: Fine.

4: Yep.

5: Simple and effective.

6 and 6a: Moderators do not have access to renaming things, so instead you'd just tell them to change it for next round.

7 and 8: Yeeeeepper.

9: that's absolutely brilliant

10: exactly.

11: Generally unless he's bringing the soap to the planet, such harassment should be handled IC by the Military Police, they're there for a reason.

12: We no longer have static escalation rules, so going from insults > fist > melee > gun is not 100% necessary every time. It's more up to what you think - the marine will tell you their reasoning and you simply decide if it was worth killing over and punish/note accordingly.

additional: what the hell is macro adminning


Overall even though I haven't seen you ingame (ever) and you're fairly new, I was also pretty new when I was accepted onto the staff team. I like your answers because they include plenty detail in the questions that need it, going over specific punishments for specific situations, and don't go into long winded monologues for the simple stuff (soap, EORG).

+1 from me.

[Jackie Estegado]

I am not new, have been playing for like 1 and a half year, maybe? I just don't play as a human often, and even then most of the time as CMO. May also be because I am not on when you are, you can ask Jone, he sees me a lot.
Oh and by macro admining I mean make macros, for admining.. I make a lot of macros, did you know you could actualy make a macro for killing aliens? you just have to put in every age/type/number combination.

[Byosfeer]

Seen you in game a bit. Not too bad from what I can tell, though one interaction stands out where you were acting sort of cocky/baity/indignant after being killed as a xeno, and you more or less blamed it on a bug/the game. I try to refrain from using the term "salty", though that's sort of what it sounded like to me.

Will say that your answers are pretty good quality, though I think your attitude about making mistakes/getting beaten and your time on the forum and in-game could both be improved.

I am close to being neutral on this particular app, though I have to say all things considered I'm going with a -1.

Best of luck in the future! You have potential.

[slc97]

Scrat has pretty much covered your answers fully, I like them, they're good. You have a keen eye for detail and your investigative process seems to be well in order.

As for Byosfeer's comment. I have seen some of the same attitude from you on the server before. We can all be a salty little bitch at times, and it's even understandable, but as staff members we can't react to that kind of stuff. You will never be insulted more over inconsequential nonsense in your life than while staffing for CM, so you gotta keep a level head.

Overall, reign in your attitude a bit, and I think you'll be a fine moderator. +1

[Jackie Estegado]

Isn't the trial supposed to determine how I fare as a mod, instead of looking at me as a player (especialy that most people only notice me when I am having a bad time)?

[Snypehunter007]

We look at how the player acts as well. If you play constantly causing grief for other players and staff or you have bad notes, which you don't have either, it lowers your chances of being accepted.

[Skane10634]

Seems good enough, i like the short and sweet responses, +1

[Boltersam]

The answers aren't bad, but the forum activity could use improvement, something that'll get better over time. I'll tentatively +1 this.

[Feweh]

Further feedback required

[freemysoul]

Never had a big issue with you, Answers are fairly decent and anything that that isn't known can be dealt with when your staff. My only issue that you recieved a note for being hostile towards staff?

My question, Have you changed since then?

[Jackie Estegado]

[quote="freemysoul"]
When did I get that note? Also yeah, kinda calmer you could say.
