Varlun - Moderator [ACCEPTED]
Real Name: Justin
Byond ID: Varlun
Age: 19 (Birthday in April)
Timezone: Central (-6)
How many hours are you willing to put in daily to moderate? Depends on how much I play? I tend to phase in and out of games, playing them until I get burnt out then taking a break and eventually coming back. I am by no means new to the server if that means anything. But when I do play, I'd say 3 or so hours a day.
Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? Yes. I've been an officer/moderator/admin of quite a few different things. Not being arrogant, I honestly probably can't remember everything. I was the leader of a popular-ish (20-30 people at peak) Minecraft server at one time. I've lead (roleplaying) guilds in World of Warcraft and Star Wars the Old Republic. I'm a Sergeant (mini-officer) in the largest NC outfit on my server in Planetside 2. And I've been an officer in many other roleplaying guilds in both WoW and SWTOR. Honestly, if you just Google my RP name "Varlun Mulland", you can get a pretty good idea of where I've been and what I've done.
Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? If by server you mean a different host, then yes. If it was actually a completely different server then no... but I did play on this server with the host before this one. Months and months ago.
If a player was shooting everyone in briefing at round start how would you deal with the situation? Quickly assess the chat logs and find out if there seems to be an RP reason. If I can't find one before where the shooting started then temp ban, 24 hours.
You notice that a warrior is breaching the Nostromo for no reason and is unable to seal the breach. How would you deal with this and what punishment would you give for a first offender? I'd ask if he knew he wasn't allowed to breach. Most likely they'll say no, in which case they've just been made informed of the rule. If I have the ability I'd fix the breach myself, spawning in a new window or wall block or whatever. If not I'd ask the nearest drone/whatever to seal the breach. For (as far as I know) a first offender, I'd do nothing besides informing them of the rule with a warning. If I personally know that they've done it before and know they were aware, I'd ask if there was a reason they're making a breach and depending on their answer I'd deal with it. But the vast majority of not-first offenders, without a legitimate reason, would get probably a 12 hour temp ban.
Additional information you'd like to add: I just want to stress that I only actually care about having moderator for the specific times where there aren't any other moderators/admins online. I have really weird sleeping hours and I tend to be online at really strange times. What actually prompted me making this application was (with no moderators/admins on) a troll that started a massive fire which caused immense amounts of lag, and the heat leftover from the fire ended up killing two aliens. That guy shortly afterward proceeded to go rambo on the rest of his team. It completely ruined the round and I just wish I could've tempbanned the bastard.
I only want moderator for these extremely obvious situations. If there are any other moderators or admins on, I'm just going to play normally. I'm not going to flaunt my rank, I'm not going to abuse the abilities. I just want to be able to do something about griefers when noone else is around. That's it.
Thanks for your consideration.

+1
Whatever puts this guy on the receiving end of Adminhelps instead of the giving, and giving... and giving... is a good idea.
Plus, he's older and can actually use his keyboard. I say we give him a shot.
