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.

Shoot him a quick message telling him to stop and asking him why he was firing. If it was an accident, no further action. Warning if intentional. 1 hour cool-off ban if they keep it up.


2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.

Patch the hole, find the cause of the breach, and talk to the players involved. If the breach is intentional, gib the player who breached it and give them a warning. If accidental, just a warning, after all, accidents do happen.


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.

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.

Hop on the server, find out if anyone was killed by the grenade. If not, the player gets a stern warning, if so, a warning and a M.O.T.H.E.R. announcement informing the crew of what happened and demanding the arrest of the player.


5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.

Ask him to stop. If the player persists, issue a warning. If the player still persists, a 1 hour cool-off ban.


6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.

Shoot 'em a message informing them of why the name is against the rules and asking what name they would like to be changed to.

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.

Inform them that they know it's a rule now and need to comply with 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.

Shoot 'em a message informing them that doctors/engineering aren't allowed to carry weapons and to return to medbay and carry out their duties. Escalate as necessary.


8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.

Tell him to close up immediately and inform him that no surgeons on the FOB doesn't grant them magical surgical knowledge and tell him to CASEVAC the wounded ASAP.


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?

I'd sent a bioscan report and then a U.S.S. Thermopylae will consider the mission a failure if marines don't get their asses in gear and will authorise a WY OPSEC Co.(2 deathsquads, to ensure success) to board the Sulaco

10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.

Send them a message stating what they did is against the rules and then ban them for 3 hours.


11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.

I wouldn't do anything about it until I get at least 2 ahelps. Then shoot him a message telling the player


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

Check the logs, if the marine who shot first was punched, then issue a M.O.T.H.E.R. announcement stating his crime and requesting his incarceration. And issue a warning that punches don't warrant bullets.


Any additional information you'd like to add?

[Casany]

Neutral. Answers are a bit short and some are downright silly, like answer two. Mods can't gib, and you would never give someone for breaching

[UltimateShrekFan]

I like to keep things light. As for the gibbing I know you could it on goonstation(why I suggested it) and, I feel that people who intentionally breach the Sulaco should be taken out of that round. If not gibbing, a teleport to space jail would be sufficient. Again, only if the player knowingly breached the ship, knowing full well it was against the rules.

[Toroic]

No idea who you are, some of the answers are questionable or beyond the scope of a mod's abilities (we can't send in death squads).

Neutral for now.

[UltimateShrekFan]

Ah, I'm not sure what powers mods have on this server, so I couldn't really tailor my answers around moderator abilities. I guess my answers might seem a little silly to you guys because I'm used to goonstation where admingibs or bansharks or other wacky shit is commonplace, but I can assure you that I take this very seriously.

[MauroVega]

one thing that got my attention is the answer to 12 the proper thing would be a ban for Improper Escalation and checking if there was any RP before hand not to mention notes
On top of that,as Tor said,the player is unknown

and for number 7 MT's are allowed rifles, unlike doctors that are allowed only a handgun after the alarm was set

6 Mods cant change names on the spot,you should tell the player to head to the bridge and get an Id change

Not to mention not only is your character unknown but your forum account is quite new,only the 3 post on this topic
So a -1 from me
Notes,Notes are important

[slc97]

I'm going to have to agree with Vega here. The gibbing commnt bothers me a bit given the fact that we can fix breaching and just give a warnig. Since I have seen you in game but I have not seen anything notable, I'm going to have to give my opinion simply off of the app and it's going to be a -1. Notes are extremely important, and furthermore we require you to be exclusively staff with us, so you being a mentor on goon is also a problem,

[Feweh]

Denied for reasons stated above.
