On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
I'm not aware of the exact hours, but I do know that I will be able to do it nearly every day a week. I... have no life.
Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
If Gmod servers count, then yes, I have been staff on some fairly active, (albeit now non-existant), HL2RP servers.
Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
I've played during Sulaco times, and now.
What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM?
TG bagil, and... none else, really. I have played them, but I'm not a fan of them at all.
Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
N/A.
Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
N/A. Everywhere I have been staff is now non-existant, since that was yeaaars ago, and I haven't really tried for staff anywhere else on the internet.
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
Banned for EORG after tasing an escaping prisoner, although it was immediately removed after explaining what had happened by the lovely ElDefaultio.
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for?
I am permabanned from Hippie for making a singulo using two bags of holdings put into eachother during a make-your-own-shuttle round. Although, to be fair to me, I didn't know what it'd do, and I didn't get the message warning about doing it.
Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?
Never had to use it, although I can learn it. Shouldn't be too hard, it's a chat program for businesses, isn't it?
Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each of the following situations. Do not write on the same line as the situation - use the space below it or make space as needed. Failure to do this proves your inability to follow instructions and your application will be automatically denied.
1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
Sounds like an IC issue to me, my man. Although, I will check the player's notes if this is a re-occuring issue, their actual character, and their playtime. If it's a new account with a completely default character, I'll assume it's a griefer and perform a B W O I N K, and escalate the situation as further, same thing if it's not a new player, but has a few notes about this sort of thing. A regular player, though, I'll let it play out, and bwoink if needed. If it doesn't need a ban, though, I will obviously place a note detailing when this happened and what had happened, plus their reasoning for why they did it.
2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.
Aheal the players, fix the breach, and announce to ignore that situation. That shit ain't supposed to happen.
3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.
Bwoink them and ask if they need any help, and direct them to where they're supposed to go, and wish them a nice time at the server.
4. A player is being very rude to you in Adminhelps and requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
Warn them about being an ass to a staff member, apply punishment if needed, and request an admin+ member to take over if there is one and if it is actually needed for the situation at hand. Maybe apply a note about their rudeness.
5. You notice a player with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules. The player is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, no one has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
Tell them that legacy naming doesn't exist, and they are to change it immediately after the round is over, not to mention that not knowing the rules is not an excuse to ignore them.
6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.
IC issue. Bwoink if he starts to grief and apply punishment if needed. And, let's not forget our good friend of... the notes! By that, I mean I'll give 'em a note about this if it turns to grief.
7. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
Warn him that as a Squad Medic, he is NOT allowed to do that, explain that it comes under meta-knowledge, and perform punishment if he tries it again.
8. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
Utilise ARES to perform manual bioscans for the marines to potentially gain some confidence, or use a centcomm message saying that they've seen the bioscan and demand the marines attack now. And also, I would use a Queen Mother message telling the Xenomorphs to avenge their deceased sisters, and attack the Marines in their own hive!
9. The round ends, a MARINE starts shooting a hostile IRON BEAR and the IRON BEAR Adminhelps complaining he was killed after the round ended.
Iron Bears are an antag. This situation is okay, and I dismiss the ahelp.
10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.
IC issue. Bwoink if it starts to become grief. Obviously note this.
11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Aheal the marine, freeze both players, explain that escalation is a thing that exists, and that punching to murder isn't how it goes, warn the killer heavily about this and punish if he does it again, then tell them both to forget that the situation happened IC. Again, I will apply a note about this situation.
12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.
Request an Admin+ member if there is one.
13. There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.
Tell the player that racism is allowed IC to a certain very soft extent, and then tell the other players to cut it out.
14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
Sounds like a grief permaban to me! Apply the 24 hour ban, and request it to be turned permanent. I will note, but it probably won't be needed if the perma goes through.
15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.
Eh, that happens. If it happens multiple times, though, warn them to stop doing that, and if they don't want to play xeno, just turn it off in preferences. Note about this suicide running.
16. You see a xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat.
Warn 'em not to, as it breaks RP and immersion. I don't believe a note is all too neccessary here, unless it's excessive, in which case I will definitely note that.
17. A xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different xeno player complains to you that it's metagaming/failRP to call it a "dropship".
Tell them that it's fine, since hivemind is just xeno-speak translated, of course.
18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.
Tell them that you don't know that there are aliens, and get him to explain it as a joke, or tell everyone oocly to forget that that was said.
19. A Marine kills another Marine on the EVAC Pod to take the last spot and claims it was RP as he was saving himself.
Eh, IC issue. I could easily see that happening IRL. I will make a note about it, though.
20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.
Happily correct them on this issue, and tell the people given wrong information the right info, and readjust punishments if needed.
20a. You see a fellow staff member abusing his powers in-game.
Attempt to undo whatever they did. Try to get a senior staff to get this shit sorted ASAP if I can.
21. You see a player talking in OOC chat about what he did with your mom last night.
Eeeehhh, seems pretty unimportant to me. That is, unless it's in detail, in which case that comes under the no nsfw rule, and bwoink if it's the first time, and punish if they continue to do it or if they've done this before. Note this if it becomes an issue.
Any additional information you'd like to add?
Forums are lame.
Also, could you change my username to my CKey? I hadn't been thinking of applying for staff when I made the forum account.
yes i know i only have one post i hate using forums please dont judge me aaa
