On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
10-20 on average.
Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
Yes. I have been teaching for about 6 years now in Judo, and have developed management skills, and people skills from this. I also have run numerous organizations, such as an Orchestra, Webcomic Production, and Technology Club among others. Regarding technology, I have been an admin on Lebenstraum, when it was NML, and was the PR person, before personal matters required my leave. I still work as an audio producer for Leben.
Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
No.
What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM?
Hippie. Not that often though.
Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
N/A However, I am currently applying to become a Mentor.
Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
Lebenstraum, as an audio producer.
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
Yes. When I started, I was acting like the baldie I was, and putting WGW on pieces of paper, and leaving them behind the CIC doors. That was it though.
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for?
TG, Para. WGW spam around the same time I did CM, which was the beginning of my SS13 career.
Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?
Yes, have used it for management experiments in the past.

► Show Spoiler
1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
Check player's notes, and combat logs. Interview any witnesses after, and depending on the logs and notes, warnings or bans. Warning if it seemed like a misfire, as everyone does it. Day ban if obvious grief, (multiple shots directed at someone, burning others, grenading) if notes are clear. If occurrence has occurred before or multiple times, 3 day ban.
2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.
If obvious grief, seal it off, and look for the griefer to ban. If accidental, (shuttle landing, pred explosion, chain of events) seal hole if hindering gameplay.
3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.
PM, if no mentors are on.
4. A player is being very rude to you in Adminhelps and requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
Ask them to calm down/lighten the tone, before looking for Admin+ members. If none are on, try to resolve situation by explaining that none are on, and ban if rule breaks were involved.
5. You notice a player with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules. The player is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, no one has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
If on the Alamayer, and at the start of round, ask him to cryo without gear, to grant a respawn to change name. If in combat, or otherwise distracting position, tell him to change it next round, and to review the rules.
6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.
IC issue. No reason to get involved, unless grief is involved.
7. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
Medics can't do it since skills update, but if seen, notify to stop the surgery, and send him back to the safest area. If done multiple times, or griefing(removing organs, limbs), job ban.
8. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
Relying on admins to take care of it, but if none are on, pressure CO and Queen to push, as CO can finish conflict quickly, and Queen needs more hosts/vengeance. If no Queen or CO, highest ranking officer/alien.
9. The round ends, a MARINE starts shooting a hostile IRON BEAR and the IRON BEAR Adminhelps complaining he was killed after the round ended.
IC issue, RP continues after round end.
10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.
IC issue at first, call MPs on him. If multiple offender, ask kindly for him to stop, and return all gear back. If refusing to stop, 1 day ban.
11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
PM people involved, and collect events. Check logs, and sort ban length according to note weight.
12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.
Slack ping/Forum PMs.
13. There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.
Tell both parties to chill out a bit. IC issue otherwise.
14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
Aheal those affected, check notes of marine. 3 hour ban first, then ramp it up depending on note weight.
15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.
Check reason. If unable to provide reason, and/or obviously griefing, warning first. Job ban if multiple offender.
16. You see a xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat.
This hurts to say, but warning first. If warning not heeded, one more warning. 3 hour ban upon 3rd offense.
17. A xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different xeno player complains to you that it's metagaming/failRP to call it a "dropship".
Star as "No reply needed." If ahelped again, reply with, "Both names are fine."
18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.
PM Command, notifying that they are unaware/no knowledge of aliens. If multiple offender, Command ban, and add note/s.
19. A Marine kills another Marine on the EVAC Pod to take the last spot and claims it was RP as he was saving himself.
Check logs/combat logs. If killing was in self-defense + huge pressure from threat, IC issue. If killed for no reason, 3 hour ban. If note is weighty, 24 hour ban.
20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.
PM staff with correct info, or state rulings.
20a. You see a fellow staff member abusing his powers in-game.
Message Headstaff and Killer-Of-Dabbers (Feweh), and leave it at that. Maybe message team member.
21. You see a player talking in OOC chat about what he did with your mom last night.
Congratulate him on his necrophiliactic exploits.
None. I know I am not the most dedicated player, nor am I the most hyper-mage-super-drama RP person. My character's exist to give comic relief, and to give a light against the darkness that is the Xeno's (usually) inevitable victory. Too many drama characters don't make for a good story, and I've taken upon myself to make a goofball out of Arieh Erdot, a character I reserve for my most intimate RPs. (No erp friends)
I know I haven't been on CM as long as many people here, and definitely haven't been here as frequent as many people, but I believe that I can truly help out, and use this to develop my management skills, and people's skills. I hope you consider my application, and remember. The person is different from the character.
