Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each of the following situations. Do not write on the same line as the situation - use the space below it or make space as needed. Failure to do this proves your inability to follow instructions and your application will be automatically denied.

1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.

Consult with the Player asking him if he is new; and ofcourse checking. If he is new I'd direct him to a Mentor who would be able to essentially teach him how to play. If the player is not new I would allow the MP's to continue with the arrest.

2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.

I would check the logs to first off see who set the explosives, then ask them why they planted the explosives. If it's at the start of the operation will then consult with the other players asking if they'd like to rejoin as USCMC and prioritize them into roles either in the USCMC or let them go into the Hive.

3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.

I'd first PM them asking if they are new. If getting no immediate reply telling them how to respond to an admin pm, I would then direct them to a Mentor for further assistance.

4. A player is being very rude to you in Adminhelps and requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.

I would first take pictures of the rude messages sent to me in Adminhelps using the Snipping tool. Then speak to the Admin informing him that the player wants to talk to them but also inform the admin that they were very rude and give pictures of the abuse to the Admin via discord.

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.

I will inform them that there is no excuse for not reading the rules, and remind him that all rules are different on different servers and rules can change over several years! Asking very kindly to change it so it follows 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.

I would PM him informing him that it's a Green alert and there's no need for Armour and Weapons at this time.

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 inform him that he should get the patient to a stable position then get the patient to the medbay immediately, for transport to surgery.

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 would send down either the Alamo or Normandy and inform the Hive Queen that it's being sent down.

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 honestly have no Idea what to do here but I'll give it a go) I'd PM the Marine saying that he killed a person after the round had ended and inform him that it is not permitted to happen.

10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.

I'd pm the marine asking him why he is doing all those things, If he is new I will send him to a Mentor. But if he isnt I will look into the situation to see if it is an In Character situation with an RP backing for the actions taken. If not I will give a warning.

11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.

I'd inform the marine he hasn't followed escalation rules. And either remove him from the round and give the killed marine a role.

12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.

I'd inform an Admin that there is an issue that requires Admin Abilities. And send people involved to him for him to continue with the issue.

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.

I would talk to the one person saying that it is an In Character comment and let him know I would inform the other players that you were offended, I would inform the 9 other people that 'someone' not involving names is becoming offended by the topic and comments of the conversation and if they could kindly move away from the topic.

14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.

I'd get their ID and report them to an Admin for a Ban.

15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.

I'd ping the player asking if they are new, and then help them on how to evolve as a Xeno.

16. You see a xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat.

I'd pm the player saying how the comments are not in Roleplay and shouldn't be used.

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'd ping the first player saying to refer to the shuttle as either 'Metal Bird' or 'Flying machine' and give a warning as well as inform the Second player that they have been warned

18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.

I'd ping the player saying at the start of the round the marines do-not know about the aliens and they've just Fail RP'd. Give a warning and let them carry on just for the round.

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.

If it's RP it's RP.... I'd check logs making sure it's all legitimate if not then I'd warn them for it but I do not see a problem with it.

20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.

I'd let the staff member know via a friendly helping hand they've given the wrong information and then give them the correct information to pass on.

20a. You see a fellow staff member abusing his powers in-game.

I'd inform a superior admin than him, taking pictures of his abuse to be given to a higher admin.

21. You see a player talking in OOC chat about what he did with your mom last night.

It's OOC. Petty insult not worth the reply.

Any additional information you'd like to add?

Not really, Like I said... Never Admin'd on an official server before just LAN servers, I thank you very much for reading
And my Discord is: Winston1781#5240

Okay, the questions here show an EXTREME lack of knowledge of the rules. In one of your responses you ADMIT to not knowing what to do. This isn't wrong, but nearly all of your responses are wrong in a minor way our just plain outright NO.
I'm gonna give you some pointers towards what you need to know, and I think you should take this into account and reapply a few months later when you have a grasp of the rules.
(Numbers do NOT refer to the questions)
1. Mods have the power to ban, especially if some griefer logs on and massacres a squad in briefing. That's a immediate three day or seven day or perma depending on notes. It's outright griefing.
2. Aliens are allowed to cal the dropship a "dropship" as well as other things their literal term. Xeno hivemind is a translation of thought, and words like "Metal bird" are just RP slang.
3. Hostiles are still considered hostile at the end of the round and as such, a marine is allowed to kill an opposing CLF at round end.
4. Go to the departments head not just some admin if a staff member abuses his/her power.
5. If a larva rushes towards the front line and dies, it's usually a xeno jobban depending on the circumstance. It's a waste of a larva and griefing.
6. You should NOT give the killed marine another role into the round, that's just a NO. If it's outright improp escalation, aheal.
7. Roundstart shittery is trying to be cut down, and a marine stealing and punching at round start is a stern warning or light ban depending on the notes.
8. MTs carrying gear is an IC issue for the MPs to deal with.
9. Don't try and influence the round heavily, just send a queen mother message to the xenos or SM command to get on with it.
10. Don't always assume a player is new because they broke a rule. While this can be true, you should always check logs and notes for context and act accordingly from there.
11. Breaches can only happen from predator explosion now, but still the answer is plain wrong, and in the event of a predator explosion, it should be left IC. Usually, any exploit breach should be sealed and everyone involved should be ahealed.
12. Medics are restricted from surgery because of mechanics, but hypothetically speaking, it's falls under the "act your job within the realm OF your job" meaning a warning or jobban depending on notes.
Overall, I could go on and on, and you DEFINITELY need more time on the server before I can see you as a trial mod.

[RobBrown4PM]

Lad, there are a lot of wrong answers here. On top of all the wrong answers there is the fact that you received a note yesterday and one in the middle of October. Also, you've only been playing the server for approx. 2 months. You also have 0 forum presence outside of this mod application.

I'm going to -1 this. Spend some time playing on the server and getting to know the rules and players. And please, please go without getting notes.

[x31stOverlord]

Alright. Whilst I can appreciate the want to help out on the server, I'm afraid the amount of incorrect answers show the lack of knowledge about the rules and the functions of the moderation team. You need to go through our rules and understand how they are meant to be applied.

I can't speak for your general behavior as I am not quite familiar with you on the server as a person. But has already been started, having notes recently is not a good sign. I'd suggest withdrawing the app to have time to go over the rules, learn and understand them and show that you can follow server rules before applying again. But for now -1

Too many wrong answers that are just way off, you need to spend more time getting known in the community first.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

Your answers are indicative of someone who hasn’t learned the server yet. Although we’re always looking for people, I think you need some more time playing on our server first.

Good luck

[Ghostdex]

Read the accepted mod apps and then yours. Your app has alot of wrong or meh answers, while that itself isnt game ending, you have little time on the server. If this is denied take this time to play on the server more and get your forum activity up. -1 from me.

[Grubstank]

Many answers are brief, unthorough, and occasionally outright incorrect

[Imperator_Titan]

Denied. Reapply in a month.
