Timezone: EST

On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? Atleast 10, most likely more.

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? None whatsoever.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? Played a bit here and there on the Old CM, nothing much though.

What other servers do you play on? None.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM? None, used to play on Yog back when I first learned of SS13, been a few years though.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before? For an administrative position, no. I did however apply for the Pred whitelist.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where? N/A

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines? Yes, well not me per-se. Awhile back in the times of the old CM server I let my cousin mess around on BYOND. When I went to join a game of CM a few weeks later I was prompted with "shot lo into crit". I never really appealed for it to be lifted or cared for that matter as I was brand new to BYOND and exclusively played Yog.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, where and When (roughly)? Yes, been banned numerous times on Yogstation. I know, I know, keep in mind this was atleast 2 - 3 years ago when a friend first introduced me to SS13.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)? No, I can most likely pick it up easy though.

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.
Keep an eye on the person in question, if its just once or twice I'll assume its a misfire and let MPs handle it IC. If they are however doing this on purpose I would bwoink them, warn them and add a note if it is said persons first offense. If it is not said persons first offense I would punish them accordingly with what notes they currently have.



2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
I would check to see if it was intentional or not. If it was intentional I would use my Sherlock Holmes skills to find the culprit then bwoink said person. I would question them on the incident at hand, and check notes. If it is deemed to be and accident I would add a note and warn the person, then get an Admin to fix the breach (assuming mods cannot do such things). If it was not an accident I would punish accordingly based on notes.



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.
Not an admin.



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.
Napalm shouldn't be nearly as dangerous as it used to be due to atmos changes. I would immediately asleep the player then question said player. Again I would review notes, and punish accordingly. If this player had any unfavorable spurts of behaviour I would most certainly give a suspension, also adding notes. I would then ask and Admin to revive the grief'd. I would also speak to the researcher, advising them to not hand out chemnades to everyone, as they are held accountable for the abuse of nades per the rules.


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
Ignore said player, if it continues to a certain degree I would warn them. If it persists add a note and mute.



6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
I would politely ask said marine to change the name in accordance with the rules, adding a note.


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.
I would advise said marine that despite this, the name is still a violation and must be changed, adding a note.



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.
I would bwoik the player, inform said player of the rule number 5, add a note. If previous noted have been added for similar circumstances a suspension of a few hours shall be placed, or more in accordance with their track record.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
I would bwoik em, inform said player of rule 8. I would then add a note and punish accordingly.



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?
M.O.T.H.E.R Report.



10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
I would give an immediate 3 hour suspension, adding a note of EORG.



11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
If it's just a few here and there I would take no notice. However if this marine is intentionally sitting in a pathway constantly slipping marines I would intervene with a bwoik, warning, and note. Punishment varies upon the record.




12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
I would check for proper escalation, if it is there it's and IC issue. If not I would determine if this was grief or not. If it was indeed grief I would note, then suspend the player in question for 12 hours. I would then, determine if the other one used lethal force, if not ask and Admin to revive.




Any additional information you'd like to add? Ehh, Slc kept buggin' me to apply for mod. I've never really done this sort of thing before, so I can most definitely say I will most likely fuck somewhere up down the line.
