Colonial Marines Character: Brandon 'Colgate' Ruiz

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Timezone: EST -5

On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
25+

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
I was a server admin and tester on GTA SA:MP roleplay servers before finding out about SS13.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
I played on the Sulaco when I was new on a different ckey. I don't even remember the ckey for it but I played 3-5 rounds and just stopped playing CM and continued to play GTA SA:MP.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM?
None.

Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
None.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for?
Nope.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?
I never heard of slack but I'm pretty sure its nothing to complicated.

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.

► Show Spoiler
10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.

► Show Spoiler
12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.

► Show Spoiler
18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.
► Show Spoiler
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.

► Show Spoiler
Any additional information you'd like to add?
For my recent note which was like 2-3 weeks ago for corner dragging I never knew of this bug and I explained it to the mod who handled it I'm new to SS13 mechanics and shit. I just started to play seriously in the spring of 2018 with one of my old friend from GTA SA:MP. I just got to playing xeno like 2-3 months ago.I also talked about applying for either mod or mentor with other members of the staff long before this and now I'm getting to apply for it as now I'm more known and etc. I will obviously be more professional towards the players when dealing with ahelps and not the dude who gets angry over shit. Thats something I'm working on and have been cutting down on.

Well I understand the recent note and your answer to it.

So it's time for the new what if questions as our mod application is a little out of date

1. You are observing the round and notice that during evacuation another marine enters a pod that has 3 marines in it and it goes boom. The player ahelps with "WHAT THE FUCK ADMIN EXPLODED ME THAT IS ABUSE, WHO DID IT, I WANT TO REPORT THEM." How would you handle this?

2. A player sets off a grenade on the dropship and it kills him and multiple other marines. You get multiple ahelps from all the players including the person who set off the grenade. He swears he was fixing his inventory and primed it by accident, what would you do?

3. During some server bugs, developers have been having to restart the rounds. Marines are running around punching each other in cyro while acting like idiots, and another mod makes an annoucement in OOC that says "EORG Still counts, shitlery will not be tolerated." Players ignore this message and you notice some prominent players continue to keep punching people. What would you do?

I'll be honest, I'm a little uneasy about some of the answers. Several are just the rules say, which while correct, is not what actions you would personally do.

I feel that these answers need some correction:

4. They don't have any right to speak with anyone else. If they don't agree with your actions, they can file a Staff Report.

11. This would need investigation first for sure, people don't always give the most accurate information in ahelps.

15. The amount of larva shouldn't matter. If they're breaking the rules, they're breaking the rules, regardless of the current state of the round.

21. This is right, although I personally feel this question implies 18+ content, which is zero tolerance.

For whatever my opinion is worth, I am neutral on this.

Yup I totally understand this but however I'm more lenient on things that happen to me personally just due to the fact its the internet and I've been in worst toxic communities than CM. Most of the answers are just answered with what the rules say. As a mod I won't be handling things that happened to me personally if it gets to the point that I'm bothered I'll ahelp it and let another mod deal with it unless a mod isn't on. For 15 I said I will also take into account the amount of larva and the current numbers, either way I'll either warn the player or xeno/queen jobban if they have a history of it. I should've clarified more on what my actions will be but as other staff members can admit the mod application consists of very easy questions that all require common sense. Thanks for your feedback Grim.

Ok. Thanks for posting for the feedback. I have the attitude just due to the fact I don't tolerate players insulting other players and calling them "braindead retards" "stupid ass people" So I understand I can be a dick at times. However I'm stopping this. All the times I told people to chill out on the toxic behavior and calm down a mod intervenes as well and tells the person. Nonetheless Thanks for the feedback!

Audi is a real nice lad and he seems motivated to be on the staff team and help improve the server. He also spends a shitload of time on here.

The only bad thing you can say about him is that he talks slang, but who the hell doesn't?
I'm sure he'll fit right in +1.

I haven't seen him really start stuff in dchat or OOC, so I don't know where that is coming from.
I have a few whitelists and a few characters...

I really dont have issues with your answers to my question, but the dropship grenade is a tricky question.
Technically it's an IC accident, so some mods would be like too bad so sad. If you're gonna make the decision to aheal a bunch of people in that fashion, if there is a Senior Mod or Admin on discuss it with them first. If you're the highest moderator on and that's the decision you make, so be it.

Yup. I'll start toning down on the shitposting in dchat and OOC. I also have been calming down on it for a while, its just my natural instinct when I'm a regular player. On the other communities I was staff on I maintained a professional image and will do so if I'm accepted to the CM Staff team. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback and criticism honestly I'll work out on the flaws during my trial period if this app goes through successfully.

If you keep this attitude while you’re staff I have no issues about you coming onto the team. That said I’ve got a couple of questions.

1. A player ahelps something along the lines of a shitpost, what do you do?

2. You witness two players wordlessly beating each other to death in the extended bunks when you check their ckeys you notice one is a mentor and the other is a tmod, how do you handle this?

3. A marine walks into briefing and starts tossing HEFAs around like theres no tomorrow, how do you deal with this?

Yup sorry if I don't know too much about the mod panels or what not on CM. As I stated before I played on a different community when I was staff and we dealt with UCPs and IP Bans and account bans. And Ingame punishment which we would call a-jails. Only thing we had similar was the notes system but we had it only accessible on the UCP on the culprits account.

Great answers overall but for 2 just bring it straight to the managers, not seniors. For 1 you dont have to use an autoresponse as they may not get the point so a verbal warning to not shitpost in ahelps is better. For 3 a 7 day ban is fine unless they’ve been warned for grief in the past or have a good amount of notes. I can support this app, +1 from me
