CO Whitelist Application

[ThatOneDeveloper]

BYOND ID: This is irrelevant

Player name you use the most: Arnold 'Terminator' Schwarzenegger

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:
I don't have the links, sorry. But here are the bans:

• EORG
• EORG (2)
• Note: excessively powergames. Warning after meta-rushing as a PFC using only throwing knifes.
• EORG (3)
• EORG (4)
• MP Jobban - Ban Reason: Upon leaving cryo, grabbed lethals from the armory and proceeded to murder all prisoners systematically, claims he was RPing a cruel MP. Permaban in debate.
• CE / MT/ Squad Engineer Jobban - Ban Reason: Used a rangefinder to target the FOB and screamed over all channels to fire the FOB now. Permaban in debate again.
• EORG (5) <- This was just a post-round mutiny, I tried to appeal this
• Command Jobban - Ban Reason: As XO, disarmed CO, tied them up, took their Mateba, and shot them in the face. Then deployed groundside (at 12:20, 5 minutes before BRIEFING) and meta-rushed the hive, finishing off the queen using some glitch involving the Mateba and powerloaders. Later crashed the server using telecomms. Was apologetic in ahelps, but one more incident and it's a PERMANENT permaban.
• Permaban - Ban Reason: Alright. You are done here. As a Alpha PFC, acted as an 'auxilary commander' for the FOB, disobeying all orders. When MPs were sent down to deal with him, he used a glitch involving lockers and revolvers to massacre all of them. He then killed the Alamo pilot, the Alpha SL, and the Alpha Spec. Using the Spec's sniper rifle, he then abused the locker glitch again to meta-rush the hive (this was 5 minutes into deployment) and he then rambo'd the Queen using HEDP grenades and the sniper rifle. Permaban applied. Forum ban will be applied shortly.
• Note: Has now tried to ban-evade 14 times in the last 10 hours.

Have you received any ban within the last month? How long was it and what for?
I'm still on a permaban from the whole 'auxilary commander PFC' incident, but I think that actually showcases my ability to be a good commander, even in the face of adversity. The past is behind us, and I've gotten better in the past few days. Also, I'm doubling this application as a ban appeal thread. So if I get accepted, please remove my permaban. Thanks.

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?
I'm still thinking about it, but most likely I will understand it at some point.

How do you view the tool of Battlefield Execution to be used? What circumstances do you think it would be necessary to BE a member of the crew? Where do you think the Battlefield Execution Mechanic Differs from regular Execution and why?
Battlefield Execution is a necessary tool to be employed often to keep everything in order. BEs are the main reason I'm applying for the position of commander, as it saves time calling for the MPs. Also, I get a roundstart gun, meaning I can deploy groundside faster. It's a win-win in my book.

Examples of valid BEs:

• A PO says he can't deploy yet because briefing hasn't started. This one is obvious.
• The CMP tells you to calm down.
• An MT uses a powerloader to help load up the dropships WHILE BRIEFING IS HAPPENING.
• RO asks you to reconsider your order of 5 HPRs.
• The marine in question is Phillip "Avalanche" Murray. He deserves it, for one reason or another. Shoot first, ask questions later.

How will your Commanding Officer run his/her ship? Provide a detailed explanation on how he would handle situations that might commonly occur such as, a insubordinate engineering staff, a Staff Officer who cannot do anything right, an Executive Officer who constantly questions you?
First question - The ship is simply a carrier for the marine forces. When we deploy, all, and I repeat, ALL roles, even shipside, will head down to the planet, creating a massive fortress that cannot be broken. This is one reason I wanted to be commander, because I ahelped this once as an XO asking if I could do this, and the admin told me if I asked for something like this again, they would jobban me from command. Considering the Commander is above Marine Law, and I'm already jobbanned from Command anyway, the Commander role will let me easily control what strategy I employ.
Second question:

• Insubordination is a BE-worthy offense. A marine calls you a jerk? Insubordination. Death by powerloader claw, because a Mateba is too quick.
• Incompetence is also a BE-worthy offense. If a MP doesn't arrest someone after they dropped a satchel on the floor, which is LITTERING, they will be BE'd, as well as the person who littered. If the squad prep room is messy, all must be BE'd, to show an example to the other squads.

What do you think is the job of the Commanding Officer?
To be the auxilary CMP with lethal weaponry, and also to rally marines into a frenzy to win the round at 12:27. Also, they are the sole wearer of the white beret.

As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role?
The CO needs more power over the marine forces. An example being explosives built into the armor (like Predators), so then the CO can remotely detonate a marine that isn't following orders.

Also, a smartgun is too weak. I want a Specialist vendor so I can meme the benos with a grenade launcher.

What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted?
Well, I dunno about this one. I'm mainly doing it for the reasons about, as well as getting my permaban lifted. Also I've been wanting to try the OB-only 'scout' strategy on Ice Colony. Basically you send just the SLs with their tatical binoculars, and then they scout out the area and fire OBs right on the hive. Instant win!!!1!

Choose one of the following story topics.
Describe in a short story or dossier on your character's experience and time in the Corps, and how he/she became Commanding Officer of the USS Almayer/ Describe your Commanding Officer's first operation in good detail:

Alright, I'll do my commanders first operation, because I spent a lot of time thinking about this character:

► Show Spoiler

The USS Almayer, from the vantage-point of the colony, seemed to be a fixed dot in space, slowly hovering hundreds of miles in the air. Inside the ship, Arnold Schwarzenegger sighed as the hypersleep chamber opened up, signalling arrival at the colony.

He quickly put on his uniform, grabbed his Mateba, and stepped out into the CIC. It was fully staffed, with 4 SOs, an XO, and a snobby corporate liaison. Making an announcement on the computer, Arnold announced:

COMMAND ANNOUNCEMENT
Briefing at 12:05. Be there or be BE'd there. RO order extra Mateba ammo.
Also, I need a radio poll: who wants to see the CL dead?
- The Terminator

John 'Bald' Wick, PFC, said "death to the CL!" over the radio. Considering this to be a final decision reached by the majority of his forces, Arnold pulled out his Mateba and decapped the CL. He then flushed the head down the disposals and dragged the body to briefing. The decapitated corpse would be a good reminder of his superiority.

"Lethals are now authorized" Arnold said over the radio. "MPs, at 12:05, shoot anyone not in briefing. That's an order!"

The MPs dutifully carried out their task. All the doctors, the Requisition Officer, the XO writing a fax to High Command, the CE, the MTs, the PO, half of Bravo squad still in the Requisitions line, a Synth, and even the CMP, who was walking down to briefing, were gruesomely murdered, and their bodies piled up in the briefing room to show their insubordination.

Arnold surveyed the significantly smaller crowd, smiling. He began to speak on the microphone.

"Hello y'alls. As you know, some dumb colony is sending out a distress signal. We're supposed to help, or something like that. But I have a better idea." He flashed a smile.

"Everyone put your gear in the middle of the briefing room"

When a few people failed to comply, he shot them and killed them. He asked again for the RO to give him more Mateba ammo, but the RO did not reply, because he was dead.

After all the armor, guns, grenades, satchels, smartguns, sentries, spec ammo, and helmets had been put in the middle of the briefing room, Arnold said "Alright. Now, considering we have limited supplies, we will play a toned-down version of the Hunger Games for the next 10 minutes. You are allowed to kill. You must stay on this level. Good luck!"

A Bravo Medic asked why the Commander didn't set down his Mateba. He was promptly BE'd.

The games started. The commander got off a few Mateba shots before he had to run due to buckshot flying around him. By the end of the 10 minutes, about 80% of the marine force was gone.

The Commander smiled as everyone regrouped in the briefing room. Now it was time for Phase 2.

"Any moment now, the xenomorphs will hijack the dropship, yada yada yada. We're screwed, basically." Everyone looked very confused, but listened intently.

"I want everyone to grab HEDP grenades, shotguns with BCs and buckshot, and any leftover Spec weapons and flamethrowers. I will load the OB and monitor the cameras. When the xenos board, I will fire before they leave, decimating them. Once they crash, everyone unga-rush them. If you get disabled, suicide yourself using the provided grenades."

Just then, a Predator came into the briefing room. "Quick!" said Arnold. "Shoot yourself in the foot! They can't attack you if you're injured"

Clearly frustrated, the Predator rolled his eyes and started to walk away. All of the sudden, Arnold yelled "CHARGE!". Immediately, the marines swarmed the Predator, and before he could react, he was insta-permakilled by 8 simultaneous point-blank barrel-charged buckshot hits. They quickly looted the Predator's body. Arnold got the plasma caster.

The Alamo had just left, so Arnold grabbed his gear, ready for the fight. After going back to the CIC (first making sure the OB was loaded with HE), he monitored the dropship cameras. Moments before the dropship lifted into the air, he fired. The cameras were destroyed in the explosion, but the bioscan annoucement showed moments later that only 3 xenos remained alive on the dropship.

After playing a quick game of freeze tag in the hangar with the MPs, he got into a powerloader and prepared his weapons. Just then, the xenos crashed onto the ship. "RUSH, RUSH, RUSH!" yelled Arnold as the two Young Drones were quickly blasted to shreds with buckshot. But then, the Queen roared, and knocked down everyone! She went straight for the Commander. Arnold knew he had to sacrifice his life to win this. He grabbed grenades in both of his hands, jumped out of the powerloader, and primed the grenades. "UNGA DUNGA!" were the last words he spoke, as the grenades instantly gibbed him and turned the queen into a puddle of green blood and gore.

A memorial was held for the commander afterwards. They placed his prized Mateba on top of a urn, which contained what little remained of Arnold. After a 5-gun salute (there weren't enough people left to fire 6 guns), they placed the urn and the Mateba on the memorial and silently left to go play basketball.

Note: I know that the commander whitelist isn't opened yet. In that case, don't deny it, wait until the whitelist opens again to review it. Sorry for the long story, and remember to unban me when I get accepted!

sometimes I shoot murray and say it was an accident

[KennyTGuy]

+1 very solid understanding of BE rules is all you need!

Thanks guys for all your support, if possible I'd like to add my own recommendation, I'd give this a +3.

Will this be the first CO that will BE Murray?

Well someone has to do it.

^{You can't say "Probably will be metagrudged, and probably killed by Mateba at roundstart" without "Phillip Murray"}
