Ttly's CO Application

[Ttly]

Byond ID:Ttly

Player name you use the most: Stasiek Laker

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:
None that I remember.

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, as it should be.

Do you understand how the Battlefield Execution functions?
As the server rules page state, you may execute anyone barring the CMP (MPs are fair game apparently) and an announcement must be made afterwards regarding the execution stating the situation and reason. The victim may also fight back should the execution fail and that the CO should not abuse this power lest their whitelist be revoked.

Oh and that you can't BE by proxy.

Do you understand you are not above Marine law, or allowed to enforce it yourself?
Certainly.
Although you are allowed to order MPs to arrest people and if said person turns out to be innocent you may get charged with prevarication after a fax.

What do you think is the job of a Commander?
To coordinate the ship's crew in order for them to operate on acceptable standard and to order them as an extension of his or her will across the ship and the operational area.

If a member of your staff is disobeying orders, how would you handle it?
If it's an SO I would first check their console or listen to the squad channel to get better understanding of the situation, and if said situation warrants said order I may let it pass.
Otherwise I would override said order through the radio and give a convincing reason as to why mine should be followed instead of theirs.

As for shipside staff, I would order the MPs to arrest them under the charge of insubordination.

Why should you be whitelisted?
Because I have good understanding of the rules and how the game works as to the limitation of each departments and that in the end CM is a game where everyone ultimately tries to have fun in. Whether by winning, RPing, or just doing ridiculous stuff which still isn't free of repercussions mind you.

Alrighty...

Pretty short application.
OK number of posts.

Heres a situation

Its LZ. The OP is going badly and you are losing ground. You order your Bravo SL to get their squad out of the FOB and to assist Charlie at Hydro, While Delta is pushing slowly a little west of medbay. Alpha took the most beating and is scattered, mainly in medically shooting a few stranglers. Bravo disagrees and says that they need to stay their iff the front lines fall and there needs a fallback point. Bravos SO is neutral on this, but the ground lieutenant agrees with him. You have to act fast because Charlie is being pushed back and are losing numbers fast. What do you do?

For now, I'm going neutral leaning heavily on -1. Just because you show potential.

[LittleBlast]

Very minimal APP, I have never seen you in game, or if I have i cant remember you. I'm Going to have to give a -1 until I see you a bit more in Command roles. Make yourself known, Its takes a while but it helps a LOT.

Getting Alpha to rally would be impossible.
Delta is pushing west of medbay, around the jungle river northwest? Maybe they can go up north then east into Hydro north.
Yell at Bravo to go into the river north of hydro road then go west while stating that Charlie is there and Delta will be pinching with them to bail Charlie, engineers can stay at FOB.

Now since Delta is at medical, I'd assume that hydro west is still secure, and with Bravo pushing out, whatever is in hydro road will also get kicked out.
Finally once the pincer happens one of the two things might happen: either benos go back to tfort/containers and Delta gives chase in which case then great, Charlie can follow. Or the push get fucked up, and the squads went into hydro, in that case they might as well bail the fuck out before Hydro get surrounded.
Yes, that would involve leaving expensive and valuable equipment, yet marine lives are just as irreplaceable.

Now this all could also be a ruse while the benos goes around NE jungle and into LZ1 east, and asking Alpha stragglers to watch LZ1 might be possible as squads that are in shambles usually like to sit around FOB anyhow.
And should that DO happen, well time to make an announcement and even yell at the PO or launch the dropship myself.

Application is too short, I'm not one to harp on writing novels, but it's the not even the bare minimum for me.
I know your name and have seen you before, but I'm kinda neutral leaning to -1

If you can play as SO/XO lot more and show your stuff, I can make a final decision.

Jeez, well the only time I can play is about deadpop barring weekends. And there's not a lot of regular players that I see at those times.

Also, there is no mention of what goes beyond the minimum of what is asked in the app, can you be more specific?

What your command style would be, what you believe BE's should be used for, etc...
I felt like I read a short FAQ on the wiki about being a commander. We want to know what kind of commander you really would be.

[Ttly]

Well none of the questions explicitly asked for that.

But yes, I'm planning to be a CO that is seemingly lazy, but when needed can and will micromanage the ass out of everything from guiding Alpha SL that doesn't know the map while moving stasis bags from operating theatres into the dropship because no one ever moves those once they got into medbay apparently, but hopefully my subordinates can do these instead first and foremost and doing it myself should be last resort against incompetence or absence of staff.

[KingPhilipIII]

Sorry mate, I don't recognize you at all, and I'm someone who's up even at deadpop times. Try to get a little more out there and THICCKEN up that application and we shall see, but for now I'm gonna have to -1.

[Kavlo]

App doesn't have enough effort into it, and I've never seen you play any kind of command staff though you seem active ingame. I'd suggest putting more effort into this app and play more command roles and you're good to go. For now though.

-1.

[Ghostdex]

I think this application has more effort than mine. You seem to know how to play the game and you understand BE’s, +1

[ChengChan]

As a medic main or marine I can't see you in combat information center or leading the operation as well, I've been playing everyday, man. -1

[Sargeantmuffinman]

We'll give this sometime to get more feedback.

[Mvp777]

I'm going with neutral for now. Application is fairly lackluster and i can't recall seeing you as a command role, though i recognize your name.

For future reference you should add more to the application itself, e.g reasoning behind how you believe BE functions, what sort of commander you would act and RP as and the like.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I'm going to go ahead and throw you a +1, I see you have activity for the month and its probably a time zone difference.

[awan]

This is a hard one for me to do. I do not have any major issues with you but I am going to say neutral.

[Novus Luna]

I'm going to give him a +1, tentatively. The application is heavily lackluster, but he made an impression in the times I've had to see him take charge, be it as a Squad Leader or otherwise. It's refreshing that it wasn't a negative impression.

[Bancrose]

I'm not going to be as harsh on you as everyone else Stasiek, While your answers are a bit small.

I know you, so I'm going to ask you a few questions.

1. What do you do if a Lieutenant ordered evac or retreat without asking you?

2. What kind of plans would you have for a map? Give me a basic briefing for any of the current maps.

3. What would you think to be an appropriate time to Battlefield Execute someone?

3. What would you think to be an appropriate time to Battlefield Execute someone?

1. I usually play SO/XO with all comms on so I can relay things and with the current tactical map I suppose it's easier to tell where the squads are. Now if they can hold so a flank could happen then I would tell them to stay, otherwise it's part of the SO's job to make calls at situation like that when the SL is busy fighting.

2. Big Red: all squads on LZ1, one on FOB. Two goes to Lambda/Bar set up there, one goes to ETA entrance from there and make a trip into engineering then break into whichever lab or cave.
LV: Ignore central Nexus, LZ1 defense and cargo-hydro road. Now that road girders are gone, east hydro road has less bush than the west-fitness actually so it's safer too on paper.
Prison: one scout north/south, one stand by at canteen, one FOB squads. Depending on where the benos decide to siege hold chapel/c ship and have canteen+other side to flank through yard if they make it to 12:50 I guess.
Ice: Ho boy, while I would much rather do what you do with Three LZ2 One Tcomms, ICly I'd rather have the squads scout the whole surface and make an LZ1 FOB before uhh, sending them all underground through elevators across the surface and if they get lost underground, I could guide them with my Ice map knowledge I guess (the underground is just a big rectangle that goes around).

3. When they are starting shit or doing something that can obviously endanger everyone like openning plasteel cade while trying to trap a crusher when there are boilers waiting to shoot through it.

Sorry for the late reply because I don't really check this part of the forum.

[DriedMilk]

Hmmmm...

I've seen your character as SL a couple of times, but I haven't seen you playing command as of lately.

You answer #3 in Bancrose's question is also iffy, I tend to do that even with boilers and the next thing that I want is the CO shooting me because I tried to trap a crusher.

Staying neutral for now.

[Vampmare]

I have seen you plenty of times ingame, but that is mostly as SL/SGT and PFC, which doesn't really show roleplay. I can't remember seeing you as XO specifically.

Application was lackluster. I felt like what I consider the two most important questions "Why should you be whitelisted?" and "What do you think is the job of a Commander?" weren't really answered.

I suggest listening to the others and improving a bit before going for CO. -1

[LittleBlast]

Staying Neutral - I cant recall seeing you in any of my games. The APP is also a bit short, so I'm staying neutral leaning to -1 at the moment.

[Frans_Feiffer]

I’ll be frank on this one. While I like your character, I haven’t seen you around as of late, especially in command roles. App itself is rather lackluster as stated by others and Thus I’m gonna drop a -1 for now.

Don’t let that get to you though, If you were to be a little more active ingame, play Command roles and come back in a month with a decent App, I have no doubt you’d have the Whitelist in the bag.

[Lumdor]

For now, I'm gonna go with -1 on this application.

Don't believe much effort was put into it though really you don't need much for a CDR application, but a little more than this.

[Survivor]

Sorry, man. I know you are semi active, and all but you've gotta do better on the application.


-1 for now. Make a new application, and I'm sure your responses will change.
