Old Pred app I can't find back when predators were first added [Denied]

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?
That's pretty obvious

Why should you be whitelisted? Personally, I have been a long time player, spanning back to the good old days of being a Logistics officer and dealing with the riots, also Xur commanding Bravo Squad all the time, the "good ol' days''. I consider myself a good leader, even if most marines are Unga Dunga me want to go shoot Ayy's I try and shake it up, As much as a get frustrated at times with marines not listening to basic orders such as, ''Stay inside the FOB'' I try and see where they come from, see why they are doing it, and possibly shape my orders around these ideas, and situations we can face. I try to use interesting tactics to shake Ayy's up, and try to add RP in the round with Survivors, or the occasional Preditor encounter. All in all, I just think I would make a good addition the whitelist.

Quick Note: Any questions asking about my CO play style I will gladly answer, put it down in the reply or if I did not see it DM me on the forums or Discord ((same as my Forum name))

voted no because I'm white trash that's never really seen you in-game.

also you're immediately cooler than me because you played pre-alpha.

I have not been on the server past few days due to internet issues, Switched to Verison took them 5 days to come and set it up, Trust me, loathed those days, I consider myself pretty active, also Emeila Cals is a new character I made 2 weeks ago I would say, Most likely why you do not recognize me

You followed the readme to a T, poll and expiry all set properly... you have good attention to detail which I think all commanders should have.


I can't really give a - or + 1 yet, I haven't seen you do any command roles (though to be fair I haven't touched the server in a couple of days, just haven't felt CM lately). I'm curious if someone's gonna roll out the good ol' Commander questionnaire.

I'll try and play XO/BO more this week so the community can see how I command, you can still swing around that Questionnaire, I am more then glad to answer it.

Already heard the name Emelia Cals. Will do the review tomorrow, I am tired at the moment.

[Fitchace]

this person was my XO and followed all my orders without question. I am saying yes.

Thanks, Bill Means a lot, I love you OOCly when you command, TBH you make me laugh my ass off the way you command, you get a lot of shit but your Bill Carson you don't give a rats ass. TBH Icly when I play command I hate you ((not dissing you)) sadly a quote from Star Ship Troopers 2 has to come here "PVT. , you should fear, and hate officers, even more so high command, they don't care about you, they just order you and tell you where to die." It's the way I see you, You are not scared to take the fight to the xenos, and are smart with your decision making, you really are the embodiment of the worse commander kys got me killed mutiny ree badass commander

Sorry if it felt as if I ignored you. I can't wait to get my review, positive or negative it would feel good to see what I did right and improve that and see what I did negatively so I can reflect on what I did wrong and make myself a better player

Following orders does not mean someone is CO material. As CO you GIVE the orders.

I'm neutral at the moment Emelia as I saw you in recent games be indecisive and unable to make executive decisions, costing marines a lot of time. Your app is okay and you have experience, though.

To give orders, you must first RECIEVE orders.

I'll go +1 since, fuck, why not, I upvoted bill carson.

[Rob606]

To give orders, you must first RECIEVE orders.

I reiterate my previous statement. Recieving orders doesn't suddenly make you worthy of being a commander. Being a CO requires a lot of critical thinking and snap decision making. Recieving orders doesn't automatically make you good at that.

I understand where you are coming from completely, personally, my last few games have not been the best of my ability at all, I can completely see where you are coming from, and I will try my best to work that out.

Then give him the questionnaire. Put him to the test and see if he has what it takes to make tough decisions. I've seen people do it on other CO apps, and I can't think of any particular questions that would be good for a Commander (I've never really been in the situation where I had to make those kinda decisions so I'm not really qualified to give the questionnaire).

[Nightcaper]

Well, I guess I'll start off a question. This one isn't mine though, and I took it from elsewhere. There were many scenarios I could have picked out, but the one I found was one I considered was a more useful question, as it addresses more of the start of the round rather than the middle. I want to see how you would handle early round delays and troubles, because how you start off the round really will throttle out if marines and others will trust or even listen to you:

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)

(Anyone else please feel free to give mid-round questionnaires since I'm also curious to see his decision making in the heat of the fight)

Assuming I am the Commander, I have a decent XO and BO, I would personally head down to RO and get shit straightened out, know the marines and their Unga Dunga gimme attachment shit, I would help them get all set up, and provide them with anything they needed. If more help is needed I will call down my XO, due to me being at RO, the marines will most likely ((hopefully)) stop rioting obviously if they don't I'll deploy my MPs. I have had worse situations before a lot worse.

Late.

Emeila, you need to improve your skills a bit more, and by that, I am trying to indicate your Decisions problems like others have said. If we analyze some situations, you have a small percentage of Incompetence when Marines are getting beat. You need to take action, even If you are a Simple LT, take Important decisions, do what the XO or CO can't, If they aren't doing they jobs, be competent and 'fix' them alone, keep In mind your superiors may make wrong and horrible choices and, you, should try to fix them not thinking about losing the game anyway. You inspiring skills are little, but You will get It better with time. I will give you the important benefit of the doubt!

Peace, Retro.

For now, I think your report should be investigated first, I won't vote until staff get's a they respective result.

Peace, Retro.

The report was handled, it was generally some salt. Thanks for the feedback, I will keep everything everyone has said in mind, I will try and improve my decision making like everyone has said, I see it is the main thing I lack as an officer, and I am going to try my best to improve it completely.

[NescauComToddy]

Just saw It, no problem! My mistake there.

Good luck, Peace.

Personally I don't think that the questions like that on the forums amount to much. People have time to sit down and consider how to properly assess the hypothetical situations.

In-game, you don't have that luxury.

My advice is to play command roles for a while longer to get more experience.

[XenonDragneel]

8 Iron Bears came on USS Sulaco, your leading a LARGE ASSAULT on the Xeno's main hive base... they breaches the Bridge door but the SL is about to throw a OB where he get all 6(+) xenos. And you have 6 MP in brig doing nothing and some marines on Sulaco just walking around. What would you do?

A. Focus on Iron Bear and ignore the assault
B. Call assistance(Marines and MP)and let the Executive Officer(XO) to handle it and you focus on the assault
C. Bridge Lockdown
D. Talk to them peacefully
or E. Tell the marines to RETREAT to Sulaco and fight the Iron Bears.

These answer can be multiple choices. If anything confusing you let me know.

[Retro]

Assuming they are hostile due to them breaching. I would go with C I need to lock down my bridge to protect me and my officers, if possible D, telling them to stand down, at the same time B, if D can not work out, order the marines on the Sulaco, and my MP's to gear up and take the IB's down. For no reason Should I stop the assault, my XO should be comptent enough to take command. Locking the bridge down is fairly obvious, I would rather be peaceful and make them surrender, then have to take a life. If peace talks can not be arranged, I will simply order the marines and MP's to come to the bridge and engage the Iron Bears

The Iron Bears, breached into Sulaco's bridge and about to(WILL) kill you insight. Your alive! What would you do now??

A. Call the marines to retreat.
B. Stay quiet and let the marines focus on their work on the ground.

I have my MP's and Marines on the Sulaco on the way, because my MP's are in the brig, assuming they are fast, they can quickly come and assist, my officers and I will take cover and wait for the marines and MP's to come and assist us obviously shooting at them. Hopefully, my marines on the ground can push on for 5 minutes without command, and that we win the fire fight.

What I mean that your alive is that... it's your last final time being commanding officer... You need to either pick A or B... that's no changing plans unless you tell me REALLY good reasons.

the marines and MP will fight the IB back but they are going to kill you anyways because of how low you are in bridge. Who knows if your going to be defibb or not?

Either let the marines push and don't let them know that the IB is going to kill the commands.

Or let them retreat which will caused the massive failure of the operation just because of the IB and the marines on the ground returned into the vessels, but saved the commands.

I will remain Neutral for now. I apologize. I know your a good person, I am still saying you should play alot more BO or XO and be quicker on communicating. I hope my vote can count off.
