On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
25-30

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
Yes, I have administrated and managed a large (300+ members) totalitarian paramilitary law enforcement organisation section of an even larger community (consistently 120+ concurrent players at the time), of which I was also a long-term admin of.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
I have not.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines or New Eden denied before?
I have not.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
I am no longer staffing any other communities.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
I have never been banned.

If a player was shooting everyone in briefing at round start how would you deal with the situation?
The player would be banned immediately and any damage inflicted undone. This is not behaviour which could ever justifiably be accidental.

You notice that a xeno is breaching the Nostromo and is unable to seal it with resin. How would you deal with this and what punishment would you give for a first offender?
Firstly I would seal the breach, then make a note of their infraction (breaking Rule 9 accidentally). I would message the xeno explaining how he has breached Rule 9 - (No Breaching / Don't Mess with Atmos) and that as it seemed like a genuine mistake (only one tile, attempted but unable to seal with resin) he would not receive the usual punishment BUT if it happened again they would be banned for 24 hours.

The marines want the nuke codes to detonate the Nostromo because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who. What do you do?
I am not a member of Head Staff therefore I would be unable to issue nuke codes. If there was a Head Staff on the server I would leave it for them to handle, otherwise I would inform the person(s) requesting that I am not authorised to hand out nuke codes.

A Sulaco Medic 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. What do you do?
I would question the medic as to why they were making grenades; if their reasoning was not justifiable they would be receiving a job ban, and a 12-24hour ban and a note made of their offence. The marine would receive an immediate ban for 24-48hours as well as a note about their offence.

What would you do if a player started to talk about the things he did to your mom last night?
I'd ignore it, people only behave in such a manner to elicit a response; by not acknowledging their petty attention seeking remarks you render their actions useless. If they were continuously spamming, however, I would mute them and message them politely telling them to stop cluttering OOC.

Any additional information you'd like to add?
I appreciate that I have only been a member of this community for a week but I am excited to have discovered such a unique twist on SS13. I hope that my previous administration & leadership experience, maturity and good grammar outweigh my relative newness to the community!

Thank you for considering my application,
Juan Rico

I find the way this app is constructed, tone of the player, and the responses to the questions to be very appealing.

[Feweh]

Juan, you know I love you as a SL in-game and anytime I'm a Commander you're fucking dependable as hell.
Very good RP player who know's his stuff in-game which I'm sure would translate to a good moderator.

Only downside is you'd be playing less SL.

(Lucius Pink by the way)

[Fickmacher]

This app is damn impressive. I like the format, thoughtfulness, and that he seems to know generally how the staff is constructed. I am wondering what game he was previously on (looks like a mod of Half-Life 2, possibly Gary's Mod.) Forum activity is low, but I'm willing to excuse it considering how the rest of the app is. +1

[UnknownMurder]

...What game are you playing in that URL? It seems interesting.

Good constructive answers.
Excellent Format.
Did read the admin/moderator procedures.
Potential Professionalism.

Just throwing this out there, he said he's played for a week, so you can't get a feel for him if he's got 7 days of experience on the server and with the people. Not trying to slander Juan, I actually think he's a competent player and a good rper, just saying.

I am wondering what game he was previously on (looks like a mod of Half-Life 2, possibly Gary's Mod.)

It's a heavy RP script gamemode for Garry's Mod based in the Half-Life 2 universe.

+1.

Very good app, very good answers.

[Felkvir]

A bit of a short forum history, only thing aside ... The answers seem really good in general. We should try him out.

[SASoperative]

+1 Good app. Very well constructed and decent answers.

[SASoperative]

Accepted. Wait for Apop to process you, I remember you from the past and you also have been a pretty decent player, In addition this application was VERY well constructed and the answers were pretty good as well. Over all a very nice application.

[JuanRico]

Ok, this guy is an asshole. Two lag accidents happened to me (one of wich I wasn't even aware) and he permabanned me with (lemme quote) reason:griefer. For fucks sake I was on this server for over half of a year and never griefed. Even when rounds were griefer clusterfucks with marines shooting eachother, never did I griefed. Ask anyone who played with me on this server that I'm always a nice guy, fun to be around and tip-top rule abider.

This retarded fucker swings a ban hammer like he's supposed to have fun banning decent people. Newsflash you power-hungry idiot - it's not for you to have fun, it's for you to keep order. I never was any trouble to any mod or admin, maybe I am a little angry I always react with anger to injustice. This guy can't be mod, as he's clearly banning people for his own amusement.

It's also a 3 day ban not a perma, relax fella.

[laveney]

-1 He's making decisions based on his emotions and cares about his ego more than he does about the players.

PS. There, I made a constructive reply without insults and bad language. I haven't noticed any rule saying that only staff can reply (if there is such rule pink's post should be deleted as well).

[LordeKilly]

He was already accepted.

[laveney]

As a trial mod (or that's what it says when you check admins online in-game).

[Butterrobber202]

u derp. Go Rage somewhere else

[laveney]

You derp. You go rage somewhere else.

[apophis775]

It should be pointed out, Laveney was permabanned 5ever.
