GoonIsLoveGoonIsLife application

[Lucius Jones]

Byond ID: GoonIsLoveGoonIsLife

Player name you use the most: Bruce Jones, probably

Make a list of links to all of your applications and (job)ban appeals, including whitelist and staff apps, within the last year. Also, provide "Ban reason; Verdict" beside each (job)ban link: God I have no idea, I have been on here for years. I can't ever remember getting banned? Certianly not within the last 8 months.

Do you understand that any player - even donors or staff members - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our Server Rules or Roleplay Guidelines?
Yes

Why should you be whitelisted?
I've played here for years, I was here since the good old days of 2 manned escape clown car pods, MG's that had to be manned, Suluco and Nostromo dick ships, God I remember basing at the mining outpost in my very first round. I mostly play alien crusher, 'self entitled god teir, second best, Tor being above me', but I can see the appeal of commander. Seems like great fun, and I've played nearly every single job on CM for at least 10 hours. I know how to play every single role to above average standards, thought I might as well open up commander.

Hmmm gonna stand at Nuetrel for now leading towards a negative vote. I am quite unfamiliar with who you are and by the sounds are you just joing back into CM just of CO Whitelist? Never seen you but that is of personal experience thing is no clue who you are or how you would be in such position nor any experience with such character or command role. As well not super convinced with it understand right you are a frequent xeno player but no idea what you are like as a marine. I shall ask a few scenarios in which what would you do might consider going you my vote.

In which imagine, it's round start you ended up joining after round started that time so, obviously 1 XO as well, there are currently 1 decent Bridge officer at Bridge (Notice decent not complete competant but is decent), only one medical doctor+CMO, 2-3 MPS being most staff and got CE watching the engines, no cargo staff for the entire round. Roughly average 30 marines in total just got dressed, you now have arrived to straighten things out roughly at 12:10. What do you do or how will you manage things to begin this operation? Assuming marines have started a bit of riot at RO for being no cargo or being passed off no cargo staff. As well, the amount of staff is all you got assuming no others late join as any command staff. (Please do give detail or brief summary on how will it you would handle it)

[Lucius Jones]

I don't really understand your first sentence. Joing? Just of CO whitelist?
1. Send some fucking MP's to cargo if those marines have not rioted already
2. Say brief is at 12:20, or barring problems at cargo, 12:25. Inform them I am on my way to cargo and to not murder eachother. Pretty please
3. Order the medical personnel to make some pills, Iron mostly for blood loss. One of the roles I play most is doctor and engineer. Also ask for updates on the engines to make sure they don't fucking blow up but that's low priority.
4. Make sure all my personnel are armed with non-lethal weapons because marine 'mah mutiny'. Flashes save lives
5. Personally oversea cargo with chain of command to keep that rabble in shape and give out weapons, played RO a few times already
6. Once brief has started, give FOB duty to the group with most engineers, then order the group with the most medics to cover them. This would probably be over the radio since I wouldn't leave cargo for a while. If I did, I would leave all the attachments out on tables and racks in the lobby overseen by a MP. The other 2 I would say set up and patrol around engineering, then after that inform me of the developing situation.
7. Next I would Oversea engineering setup via Helmet cam, or order a XO/bridge officer to keep me updated in major developments if cargo has not settled down.
I mean now it's mostly random on how the aliens react and the situation changes. That's what would happen in a normal round. Any questions?

When I mean joining back as of CM mean getting back to it Then I see you are mostly a xeno player afterwards. I understand interested in CO whitelisting but cause there is one are just joining it because there is a whitelist?Some have made CO whitelisting just cause at times or whitelisting apps like that. I quite like your answers these scenario is a common but to see how you would handle such task. See how you would adapt being the CO the main in command in such scenario as I have said before don't really have any experience or seeing you as marine in general though frequent xeno player I would never know being a regular marine player mostly. The answers you given me I am quite liking, though I still stand at Nuetrel leading to a positive vote, good advice to help CO whitelist would be going command roles like XO or BOS or even SL or just a grunt to be more known a bit.

[Lucius Jones]

I said main mostly because it's about a 70/30 towards xeno, I sometimes make a master fortress as a engineer. I can literally fit any role, that's why I usually play survivor and help marines. Survivor commander/10

[TheMusician321]

All your SLs are dead, your marines are mute and not responding to your commands, your FOB is also under light assault by xenos, what do you do?

[Lucius Jones]

How do I know if my FOB is under light attack? How manned is it? Do I have spec/engi/medical support? How defensible is the FOB? The variables are too random but I will try
0. Tell them mute ass pansies they deserve to die for not talking, then go down there myself with a megaphone.
1. Inform everyone to fall back to the FOB and I will call the pod down, everyone must retreat awaiting another counter attack
2. get the marines who are left on the Nostromo on the ship that will be going down to keep is defended
3. Once it has landed, order the marines (if possible) to push through the light assault, taking any turrets they have with them.
4. Get on the shuttle and retreat.
5. Medical personel to the LZ on the Nostromo
6. Depending on how many lived and are un-wounded, either form a counter attack with mined windows/doors and a SADAR spec, since it cannot be used on-ship.

[NoahKirchner]

I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because you are not a baldie and know how the server works. But a problem that I have is I've very VERY rarely seen you ingame at all so I have no scale as far as competency goes. But I've seen you in OOC, and you're not a permabanned baldie in the ban appeals section so I'll put it at yes for now and wait for how you respond to further questions.

Good luck!

Edit: Yikes, missed the bomb thing.

Just some points, corresponding to your list.

0: The Commander himself going down usually results in his capture/death.
2: It's the Sulaco, not the Nostromo.
5: Sulaco.
6: Filling the shuttle with bombs can be considered powergaming, people have gotten bans for it in the past.

-1 mainly for advocating a powergaming tactic.

[Lucius Jones]

It was number 0 for a joke, I think commanders should never go down. Didn't know about the bomb powergaming thing, I have just seen it done before. I get the Nostromo mixed up since that was it waaaay back. Good memories
