Joseph Clancy's Commander App

Byond ID: GoliathTheDespoiler

Player name you use the most: Joseph Clancy

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:
Haven't been banned before. And this is my first application. So I'll just leave this blank.


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?
Crystal Clear.

Why should you be whitelisted?
Since donations are still closed, this is the closest I can get to giving something back to a community I've come to love.
I feel that being allowed to be a commander would also be my first step into earning trust and respect from my fellow players and from staff.

I've fallen in love with CM, with how its always a mix of serious roleplay and a touch of fun. How everything can be boring one minute and the fight of your life the next. The randomness, the variety, the format, everything about this server has made me love it to bits. And I'd like this to be my first love letter.

Okay, now that I got the cringe out of the way, I've played my fair share of commander roles. XO, SO, SL, and every derivative. I've played a buttload of CL and have tried my best to please the RP gods. Now I'm hoping I can be the grumpy grandpa in the recliner, yelling at all the marines getting murdered to pick up their game, instead of being on the chewed end of the stick.

Thank you for your consideration!

Not sure if I should mention this, but I also play with the alias 'Nicholas Fredson'.

Apologies for using the purple if it hurts your eyes. It felt like a good idea at the time to individualise my application (also purple is my favorite colour).

Right so...your command staff are incompitent and have ordered arrests for marines who didnt even break the law a mutiny is going down you and your command staff are hiding in the bridge the marines are banging on your front door and a SO is shot what do you do?

First, I would check to see if the ship-bounced comms are still working. Then, I would request an audience with the leader of the mutiny. After agreeing over a time and place, I'd sit them down and discuss the intention of their mutiny, and eventually come to the conclusion of who was ordering the arrests.

I would make a deal with the leader/s of the mutiny: Allow myself and the remaining competent command staff to stay in charge, and all memebers of the mutiny return to their duties unpunished in exchange for a punishment of their choice for the staff responsible.

Well. That would be best-case scenario, at least. Compromise is always important, especially with lives at stake. However, I'd also send a message to High Command behind that describing the mutiny and who died because of it. Thanks for the scenario!

MY EYES, THY WORDS ARE PURPLE!

[Araulius]

I say let him give it a go. If it doesn't work out, we'll know he just needs more experience. +1.

[Challenger]

You seem serious about this and literate enough just from the formatting and writing in your OP but holy shit why would you write that in purple. +1

[Jroinc1]

+1

I can't really read it because WHY WOULD YOU DO PULPLE.

But when I stare deeply at the eyeburn, I feel a non-specific good feeling.

I can remove the colour if you'd all prefer?
_{actually no i cant sorry}

[Helgraf]

The purple is messing with my eyes, but I like it. +1

[DrPng]

I don't really play marine much, but this looks pretty straight with no bends so ill give a +1

[PreacherCini]

You seem to have the basic fundamentals of a good CO. You picked a terrible color but +1

[Tysonix]

+1 though the colouring could be worse, Helios yellow on the show spoiler background will murder anyone who lacks the brainpower not to read it.

[NoahKirchner]

well I can't actually be bothered to read the app because it's purple, so +1

[Nick123q23]

Besides the questionable text color, it seems like a solid application. Voted in favor.

[GoliathTheDespoiler]

All I have to do to get +1s is to make my text hard to read?
Done.

The applications for commander, from my understanding, are basic competency tests. You're competent enough to perform the role from what I've seen. Hope it doesn't change suddenly.

Did I won?

[Tysonix]

Did I won?

You need to wait for either Fuhrer Apop or Papa Feweh to say so
