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:
- Example: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=10027 | Griefing; 3-day ban
- Exact formatting is helpful but not required.
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?
Yep. As it should be.
Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
Indeed. I'd like to be someone who doesn't BE people on the regular, or even at all if it's possible.
Examples that I'd BE in are situations where
1. A staff officer is delaying a full retreat causing the massive loss of life. Things such as keeping the PO from launching, sending out confusing and malicious orders, calling the shuttle before the majority of the forces have boarded, locking down the ship before the majority have boarded, etc.
2. An officer is directly assaulting me or anyone in command for no legitimate reason. Punching and disarms wouldn't be counted, those can be handled by MPs and don't require things such as BEs. But if they have a weapon and are firing, or even threatening to fire, a BE would be applicable.
3. Mutiny. Now, I wouldn't just kill everyone who was a part of it, and if they had a good reason for it I'd step down. Now, of course, if they had no good reason and they just wanted to overthrow command for the sake of it, I'd execute the leader. The rest would be arrested and held.
Those are the only situations in where I'd apply a BE
Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
Yeperino. If I did something obviously against the law I'd accept being arrested, and I'm not one to enjoy enforcing laws so I'd stay well away from that.
What do you think is the job of a Commander?
Well, this one is tricky. Some would say the Commanders job is to lead the marines to victory, some would say it's to add RP to a round. I'm more on the side of leading marines to victory, personally. By leading your team, your subordinates, to victory you're already adding more RP by playing your role. So, I think a commanders job is to win the round whilst also acting like a commander.
Commanders also, of course, should be handling the big picture. In my opinion a commander shouldn't be always looking over an SOs shoulder and instead should allow the SOs and XOs to give orders that they think are in the operations best interest. Commanders handle the overarching orders, the pushes and flanks that involve more than one squad. They shouldn't ever be on Overwatch unless they have to, and instead should be writing out battle plans and using the map to coordinate. That is my opinion on what a commander should be.
If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
Well, I'd hear them out first off. Most staff that are disobeying have a legit reason as to why they may not follow your orders. Maybe I have bad information, maybe they have a better idea, or maybe they just aren't understanding the situation. The best course of action is to talk it out and come to a mutual understanding, whether that be them coming to terms and accepting the order or a compromise. I'd like to shoot for less arrests of important staff and less BEs. Hopefully none when I'm on. Now, in a situation where they are disobeying an order just to disobey I'd of course call the MPs, and let that work itself out. The very last resort I'd go to is a BE, and only if they were a direct threat to my bodily health or the marines groundside.
Why should you be whitelisted?
Most players who know me know I mainly play PFC, Smartgunner and sometimes Spec. Occasionally I play SO, XO, and SL. But I'd think I'd be good for the role. I have experience in the game, first off. I've been playing for a long time, a bit more than four years. I've been on the forums for two years, at least.
I'd like to think I RP well. I try to RP most rounds where I'm an important role. Of course, I don't know how I come across to others who are in the round with me, but I always try to make the round better for everyone involved.
I'd like to think I'm open to critique as well. Whether or not others believe me I can't say, but I do at least try not to take things personally
And to anyone who have known me in the past, I would like to say that I've matured a lot. I haven't accumulated any more notes since last year, and I've calmed down and cooled off a bit more than I was last year. Now, I am and I always will be very expressive when it comes to what I view is correct, and I will always be on the forums debating, that won't change. But in terms of how I go about it, I feel as if I've cleaned it up a bit.
