On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
Around 25 hours a week

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
I was the owner of a Minecraft Server that averaged 50 players every day as well as Moderator and Co-Owner and Admin on many other Minecraft Servers.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
I went through a long time of inactivity but I beileve I started playing when CM went with New Eden.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines or New Eden denied before?
I have never made an application on Colonial Marines or New Eden before this one.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
I am not a Staff member anywhere else.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
I have never been banned for more than 24 hours.

If a player was shooting everyone in briefing at round start how would you deal with the situation?
I would start out by sending him a PM saying to him "Hey, why are you shooting up Briefing?" and wait for a response, if he doesn't give a timely response I'd PM him another time saying "Hey, I really need to know why you're shooting up briefing click on my name to reply to me please" then if he answered I'd try to figure out every reason as to why he was doing it and deal with it accordingly. If he didn't give an answer or simply stated he was doing it for "Fun" I'd temporarily ban him for 24 hours and put in the notes what he was doing and the reason he gave as to why he was doing it.

You notice that a xeno is breaching the Nostromo and is unable to seal it with resin. How would you deal with this and what punishment would you give for a first offender?
First I would PM the Xeno saying "Hello there, will you please tell me why you're breaching the Nostromo?" and while waiting for a response see if there are any other Xenos around that could breach it up ASAP. Also as above wait for a timely response if they don't respond I'd give another message saying "Hey there, I really need you to tell me why you're breaching the Nostromo." then If I found out they are a new player or, after looking through their notes, they have not done anything like this before I'd refer them to the rules page and have them go over it and tell them not to do this kind of thing again.

The marines want the nuke codes to detonate the Nostromo because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who. What do you do?
I would send them back a reply stating that we have done a scan of the Nostromo and there are very few lifeforms currently on it while being unable to give an exact amount to how many (So not to ruin it for both sides) and give them orders to go back out there and take care of it seeing as how they have superior training, firepower and soldiers stating for them that we would rather save the station by any means necessary as Stations do not grow on trees and are very costly to create.

A Sulaco Medic has made several napalm grenades and hands them out to marines. One of the marines throws the grenade into Logistics. There are no admins or other moderators online. What do you do?
First I would take care of the immediate threat which would be the Grenade happy marine by slaying him and then go into PMing both him and the Sulaco Medic to find out why the Marine threw the grenade and also why a Medic made it in the first place. I would then do everything I could to make sure that anyone who died was brought back so they could go on with what they were doing and do my best to reverse the damage to Logistics. After finding out everything I could I would direct the Marine and the Medic to the Rules and then give the Marine a 24 hour ban and the Medic a 5 hour ban.

What would you do if a player started to talk about the things he did to your mom last night?
I would allow him to keep going without provoking or commenting, so that he would hopefully stop, and continue on with whatever it was I was doing before and making sure everything goes by accordingly. If he didn't stop after I started ignoring it I would politely ask him to stop referring to my mother in that way and if he still continued I would send him re-read the rules and also tempban him for 1 hour so that we could get past it and so he couldn't do it to others.

Any additional information you'd like to add?
I don't currently have a Job so the time above will probably be less than the amount I'm actually on. I'm currently looking for a job but for one that is Part Time so I'll still be able to make the hours I stated above. Also thank you for taking the time to read this application.

Well then, I surprisingly have nothing to add to this application - This was a very well done and reasonable application, you have my +1.
Just be warned, should you be accepted you will need to be much more active on the forums.

[Butterrobber202]

Meh. Still alittle bitchy about the new players on Fourms but.. He seems Reasonable...

[Hailstorm77]

I'm not a new player. I've been playing Colonial Marines for a very long time, I admit however that I just made the Form Account today

[Butterrobber202]

*Ahem* The People HERE Want you on the forums WAYYY Before you apply for Staff

[SASoperative]

Im sorry but -1 I am seeing so many Admin applications with little to no inactivity on the forums or brand new to them.... We need admins active both on forums and in game

[Rahlzel]

+1

Maybe adding him to the Staff will improve his forum activity.

Also, we don't need forum activity. We need Mods.

[Hailstorm77]

I'm already working on improving my Forum Activity ever since I started this post. Because I just made the Account then made this post.

[Kyrac]

+1, Moderators are nice to have. Also, I have next to no objections with this application.

[UnknownMurder]

Neutral

Players are new to Colonial Marines yet they still apply.
However, we do need moderators.

[Fickmacher]

+ 1. Though I'd tweak some of his answers personally, they seem solid to me. I could see him performing rationally and actively on the server. As for the forum posting, I'm sure he could prove that to us during the trial period.

[Felkvir]

Well, i'm +1

[Hailstorm77]

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read this app and letting me know what you think of it.

[Hailstorm77]

Is it okay for me to ask what's going to happen with my Application...?

[Fickmacher]

I'd recommend shooting a message to SAS or Unknown to ask them.

[SASoperative]

Changing to a +1 I see activity on the forums.... Accepted. Welcome to the staff now you play the waiting game for Apop to process you

[Pawoverlord]

Oooh! Welcome aboard Hailstorm!
