On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? Minimum of 10 each week. Online more often mostly.
Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? Yes, I have held several positions on the apollo ss13 server for a long time. Also I moderate the /r/thenetherlands discord. And I am a mod on several subreddits (But not /r/thenetherlands or /r/ss13).
Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? Yes, but not a lot.
What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM? Apollo, Aurora under and alt and baystation under and alt. But I dont play on baystation now that they swapped their map.
Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
https://cm-ss13.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=16789 Ban appeal. Resolved in my favor.
Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where? No
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines? No
Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for? Yes, I accidently blew up a tank transfer valve on baystation. And I got a ban for that. It is removed now.
Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)? Yes, I have used it during my study.

► Show Spoiler
1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
He is arrested and will be put into perma so I have all the time in the world. I will message him and try to at least get his side of things. While he replies i'll check his notes. I would cross reference them with the facts I know. And fact check most of the things he said. If he logs out directly or does not communicate back in a reasonable timeframe I would likely punish him (Because the random implies no prior interaction at all. And I assume multiple shots).
2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.
Well, I would try to solve the situation quickly the best way I can. So first I would make sure hull integrity will be restored. Then I would find out what caused the breach and if it was intentional. And have a conversation with the player who caused it and make sure it does not happen again. After this i'll add it to their notes.
3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.
I would ask one of the mentors to handle this.
4. A player is being very rude to you in Adminhelps and requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
This depends quite a bit in how you define rude. If it is plain insulting me or just being disrespectful. If he is just disrespectful ill get past that and ask the admin to respond to them. I will stay friendly and indifferent either way. Otherwise I will ask them to keep it civil. And ofc refer them to the forums if no admin is online.
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.
Even though I asked them to change their name that is not a request. (Never getting a ticket for speeding does not make it legal and no one telling you not to speed does not make it ok either. And not knowing not to speed is also not an excuse.) I am going to ask them nicely to change their name the next round and put in their notes they were told to change their name. If they do not change I will escalate.
6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.
This is an ic issue. Depending on where I see them I might take action. If they are on the frontline fighting I will tell them to not do that and put a note in. Otherwise I would consider it ic.
7. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
I would start off by explaining we are a medium rp server and that the rules state he cannot do surgery. (Does the new medic system not prevent it anyways.) He is expected to stabilize them and send them up and not treat them at the fob.
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?
I will pm/message one or both of the sides in the conflict. Either as queen/ares or to their aCO/queen.
9. The round ends, a MARINE starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member Adminhelps complaining he was killed after the round ended.
I will explain that eorg only counts for people on your own team. And he was considered hostile thus I will not be punishing the marine.
10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.
Most cases this will be grief or trolling. I will pm them and investigate. If they have a great ic reason. (They likely don't) I'll let the mp’s handle it.
11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
My pm to the marine would explain that this is not proper escalation. I would investigate and look at the notes to see if this is a one off issue.
12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.
If they are online I would ask them nicely to help me. If they are not I would ask in outside of the game channels. (Slack)
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.
If it is done under proper ic and not to insult another player it is fine according to the rules. I would explain this to the adminhelping player.
14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
Try to freeze the shooter. Then I would request a perma ban for this. They can appeal their actions if they have something to say about it.
15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.
Ouch hits close to home. I would pm them and ask for an explanation. I will explain that larva are a valuable resource and that because one can be one every 5 minutes they can be depleted quite quickly. If this is their first time according to the notes I would only warn them. If this is repeated behaviour they will get a xeno/queen ban.
16. You see a xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat.
They will get a pm from me explaining to them that they should not use netspeak. I will check their notes and deal with it based on them.
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".
I will reply that hivemind is the english translation of the xenomorph communications. So calling it a dropship would be fine.
18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.
If this refers to xenomorphs it is metagaming and not ok. I will explain this to them and make sure the players disregard what was said about it.
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.
Tough one. Icly I get it and the results are not that bad. (Both players will be out of the round anyways.) So I would likely not punish or do anything about it.
20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.
I will tell him in msay. Saying it in apms is not professional.
20a. You see a fellow staff member abusing his powers in-game.
Depending on what it is I will either tell them to stop or I will get evidence and explain it to their senior.
21. You see a player talking in OOC chat about what he did with your mom last night.
I would let it go. People shittalk quite a bit. If it was very bad I would pm him to tone it down and add it to their notes.
Any additional information you'd like to add?
I play Fred Majun/formerly Alfred Stafford/Majun
