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?
Yes, I do.

Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
Yes, It may be used to remove any non MP player from the round if CO deems that player as a threat to leadership and/or operation. However one must be cautious about BE, because it's a double edged sword, and in most cases it will escalate situation.

Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
Yes, CO must follow Marine Law as any other reasonable officer. Every CO must remember that CMP outranks everyone when it comes to Law enforcement. Furthermore CO must remember that there is whole military police department on Almayer, and his job as CO is to lead and not to police.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?
IC: I believe that CO must work under assumption that all department heads and officers are adequately trained and competent, CO should not micromanage( unless it's low pop). So the Job of CO is to provide direction/flexible plan for the Marine force, and change/adapt it during operation. CO must coordinate conglomerate of different departments and roles to achieve if not maximum efficiency but at least some form of cohesion and order.
OOC: First is to provide additional RP. Second is to look after marines force - nothing crushes morale more than silent CIC. Third - to be sure that round is enjoyable for all, including roles such as MT, CL and Research crew. In rares instances - ensure that round is not stagnated.

If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
Well first of all I would try and determine possible damage. Then I would try and determine their reasons for such action.
If it's something minor and no damage dealt to mission, I'll warn them either in private talk or over the radio. There is no reason to escalate something minor.
If they cannot provide reason or plausible explanation for such action or they are blatantly disobeying orders, trowing insults - I'll have them brigged.
If they won't give me any reason or explanation and if damage was dealt or if they actively undermining leadership, I would think about using BE.

Why should you be whitelisted?
I've been playing CM for more than year now and I believe I'm capable enough to try this high RP role.
I got experience with all accessible (shipside and groundside) roles and I believe I'm competent, and have knowledge of most common errors and grievances of corresponding departments. I've been aCO on multiple occasions and I think I did good job.

I'm gonna stay Neutral for now, but I'm leaning towards a +1. I haven't seen you in-game too often, but from the times I have, you've seemed like a chill dude. You say you have played all accessible roles, and while I believe that, how much of that has been spent in the good ol' CIC? knowing all roles and understanding their functions is very important, but leading them and telling them how to get that function done is another beast in itself. That and the application, while brief, does answer all questions, and I do have to say I'm fine with your answers. Just in my opinion play a little more XO/SO so I and others can see how you lead, and I'll be more inclined to change my answer to +1. At the moment though, I'm gonna wait and see what others have to say. Good luck and here's to seeing you as CO in the future!

[FelixG]

Thanks for feedback! Well, I spend fair amount of time in CIC, mostly as XO ( although it's kind of hard to roll nowadays), often in understaffed CIC (timezone thing).

[Frans_Feiffer]

Ah, I see. Sucks we're in different time zones, so it's harder to roleplay with ya, however if you can run the OP while being in an understaffed CIC, and do it well enough everyone doesn't hate you by the end of it, then i'd say you have what it takes to play CO. I know I said I'd wait for other comments, but you won me over, hah. +1 and to you good sir, good luck. Understaffed CIC is always fun to do, but it's definitely a hassle when it wants to be.

[Kavlo]

I've seen you a good bit ingame and this application is pretty alright.

+1.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

Come on people, we kinda need more feed back.

And I do see you in-game from time to time.

[Bancrose]

You're an old player by the looks of it, and I have nothing bad to say about you since I don't really see all that much. Which is fine since its probably a timezone thing. So if I could see just a few rounds with you as SO or XO I can probably give you a +1.

(Edit)

Okay seeing based on the others responses you seem like you could be trusted.

+1

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I've seen Oleg plenty of times and he's not bald. Application looks fine as well
Godspeed Commander
+1

[Ghostdex]

You understand how BE's are suppose to function, +1

[Mvp777]

Other staff seem to think you'd make a decent CO, i have no outstanding issues with the application itself, so its a +1

[Sargeantmuffinman]

It's been sitting here for awhile, and the staff say you're okay. +1

Good Luck Commander.

[RobBrown4PM]

Seen him plenty in command roles +1

Extra bonus for being named after one of my favorite hockey players

[Omicega]

Good player whom I've seen around a lot. Solid and reliable with an app that reflects that.

+1

[Emeraldblood]

Need more community feedback.

[caleeb101]

you're not gonna be the worst commander that has been accepted and i've seen you command decently before though you could do better by listening to your underlings (the ones that have braincells)

+1

[carlarc]

While I've seen this guy around a lot, it's always as a marine, I have actually never seen him play as command, and he definitely hasn't been doing that a lot recently, so probably gonna -1 on lack of command play.

[DriedMilk]

I haven't seen you on Command roles.

Although you're a good lad.

Staying on neutral, play command roles and let us see your RP skills as well.

[ChengChan]

I haven't seen you on command roles, man. -1

[Loco52]

I want to clear something out to all those who are -1ing this guy because they haven't seen him recently in command roles: Akimov is away from the game for a while.

But I have indeed seen you in command positions, and your RP is 10/10 so +1

[NethIafins]

I'm ok with you to have a CO. You are fine player and do not cause issues as of late.

+1

At the time I wrote that, I saw him a lot (And still kinda do) as a PFC or MT, he wasn't away from the game.

Resolved - Accepted; Whitelist will be updated shortly
