On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? : All week? I mean really. If I'm ever inactive, either I've lost power/internet, or I had something important to do involving family.

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)? : Hmm. I don't wanna list minecraft because.. Eh. But on SS13, a few other servers that aren't alive anymore. And if I've been staff on others games, I can't remember them.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers? : Yes actually. I was with Colonial Marines from quite early on. Been off and on since. Playing it alot more recently.

What other servers do you play on? : Not many.. I'll sometimes randomly jump onto 'Hippie Station' and realize my mistake.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM? : See above.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before? : Nope.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where? : Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines? : Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, where and When (roughly)? : Not from what I remember, no.

Are you familiar with Slack (It's use is required)? : I'm not, but I can catch onto things quickly.

Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each situation (BELOW) the situation. If you start it on the same line, I'll assume you can't follow directions and auto-decline your application.



1. A player is firing his weapon in the briefing area near the start of the round.
Answer : It would be considered an IC matter, unless he would begin to start randomly shooting people, then it would be classified as grief. We all know how stupid these people can get.



2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
Answer : If it was grief-caused, then it would be a problem, in my opinion.



3. The marines want the nuke codes because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who.
Answer : No.. No.. Just no. Also. Nice one.. 420. Haaaa.



4. A Sulaco researcher 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.
Answer : I'd ask him his reasoning, and if it wasn't valid reasoning [Say he was throwing it at an alien or hostile?] then I would warn him, if he continued to do it. I would take further action such as a kick [possibly?].



5. A player is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
Answer : Ask him politely to cease using Ahelp for non-important things, and if he continued. I would mute him from Ahelp for a certain amount of time.



6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
Answer : [I'm unsure if Moderators can actually change peoples names, but if they can!] I would inform him that his name is not allowed by the rules, and then ask what he would like his name changed to [again, not sure if that's able to be done by moderators.] and if it's a valid name, I would change it to that. Option #2 : I would warn him, and if he is caught again, further punishment would ensue.


6a. The marine is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, noone has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
Answer : Not knowing the rules is not a pass to follow them, even if you were not warned for said action, it is still against the rules.



7. You see a Sulaco Doctor with an M41A rifle strapped to his back running around the briefing area. There are wounded in medbay, and the other doctor is in surgery.
Answer : I would interrogate him on his actions, asking what he's doing, and if he continues to ignore his duties as a doctor with out good reason. Possibly a job-ban, definitely a warning, depending on the severity of the case, and how they fix the situation.



8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
Answer : Looks like that marine is dying then, sorry Medic. From my information by announcements made by admins, and even the rules. Squad Medic's are incapable of performing surgery, and are to stabilize their patient to be EVAC'd to Sulaco.



9. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the Sulaco, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
Answer : Hmm.. This is a tough one. I'm not entirely sure what the best thing to do here would be. But if there's other admins on, I'd ask them about it, and discuss it with them, seeing what they think of the situation. Depending on the overall verdict, I would take action. But if I was to make some crazy and wild decision? I would probably throw in a few more aliens maybe. Perhaps have 'Command' tell the Sulaco to get their asses in gear.



10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
Answer : End round grief has a NO TOLERATION POLICY. He would be banned depending on the severity. If it was one or two shots..? Possibly not nothing too bad.



11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
Answer : Honestly, he's mentally retarded. But in all seriousness, unless multiple people start Ahelping complaints, I believe it's an IC matter, seeing as how soap cannot injure you. [From my information.]



12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Answer : No.. Excuse me? You don't kill a guy for punching you. Wanna know how I solve it? I punch him back. I mean, he punched first, right? But no. That's grief. I'd warn him for it, possibly worse.




Any additional information you'd like to add? : Not really, I just hope you choose me. I think I'd be a good addition to the team, and love the server. The staff are nice and helpful aswell. Anyway, that's all. Seeya guys.

[Varnock]

Sorry man, gotta -1 here.

Your answers don't feel particularly serious to me and I can't bring to mind a time in recent memory I've seen you on the server, not to mention you made this account literally just to apply for moderator.

My suggestion to you is taking a look at some of the applications accepted in the past and getting a bit more well known.

Sorry. I just had to respond to this. Have you seen when my account was made? And also, have you read the part I mentioned where I was off and on lately? I haven't seen you on ever, and I'm usually on. Sorry that we're apparently incapable of being on at the same time.

Edit : Sorry if this sounds a bit aggressive, I'm currently just heated atm and trying to calm myself. Sorry if I try to have a bit of fun with my answers. Atleast I'm not going 'ban, ban, ban, ban, ban.' with every answer.

[Feweh]

Dont like your answers and i dont like the way you responded to Varnock.

You seem a bit too immature for the position.
Youre 18 years old and getting "heated" over something like this?

Youll be on-fire in-game then.

I did indeed misread your join date, that's my bad. Doesn't change my answer though.

[Radioaction]

Right.. Whatever then. Suppose this is denied, gonna leave it alone now.

[Grypho]

Spoke with you in-game in context of aHelp, you seemed to have quite low tolerance for things that can cause bad temper.

The answers are also quite short and many other people who have applied have longer answers.

Currently I will go with -1.

I suggest to participate on forums and play another month actively, make longer answers and also prove me wrong about the bad temper. If you could do that I would +1.

[Jackman2334]

I'd say that the way he answered the questions were fine so I'd give it a +1, especially as he seems like he could easily connect with the non-mod players where there seems to be a lack of that in CM, you also clearly don't have any anger issues as far as I can see as it's obvious that you were just a little vexed and got picked up on from a few words you wrote, I'd love you to be a mod.

[LouisLouiz]

-1 although it's nice to have a laugh, that comes after the serious stuff, re do the questions is my advice.

[TR-BlackDragon]

Due to what I've read from staff and non-staff above I'm gong to have to deny this application.
