    That is entirely fair, of course!

    I'm trying to play as much of the XO role as I can. The unfortunate side issue is that a lot of the people who get to decide on my application are in the United States timezones or even beyond that, while I'm in Europe. That makes playing XO nigh impossible except for sheer luck due to:
    1. The fact I don't always have night hours and have a pretty unbalanced workload right now.
    2. Highpop has like at least 10 XO candidates, giving me a 10% chance or so.

    With that in mind, I'd love to play XO while you're around at some point, but I hope it won't impact my odds if chance doesn't allow it.

    I will keep that in mind.

    Had you as my XO awhile earlier, and I was very pleased with the result. You have a good grasp of Command and you're able to put in some solid RP. I was unsure reading your app, but seeing you in-game has washed away any real concerns. I'm confident you'd make a solid Commander.

    I haven't been given a good impression of your character thus far (nothing too negative, but nothing too positive either both in behavior, reputation or RP) nor have I seen you enough in the role. Your application also hasn't blown me away either so my previous concerns aren't alleviated.

    That said, I have some questions.
    In general, how would you handle a situation where you have a member or group of your crew misbehaving/being insubordinate?

    Additionally, specifically:
    How would you handle having Requisitions refusing to follow orders and fooling around?
    How would you handle a Tank Crewman acting insubordinate?
    How would you handle a Specialist acting insubordinate?

    Hello, and thank you for asking these questions! Let me go over them one by one.

    As far as the general situation group, the appropriate punishment is entirely dependent on the situation. For most of the cases you just outlined, I'd like to mention one general line I tend to follow, which is to let the MP's / CMP deal with it if at all possible.

    The only way I'd step in is if any of the situations you sketched were an outright danger to the operation in my mind in the negative sense, or to override the decision of the MP's on this if the player has contributed majorly to the success of the operation and deserves a little leeway.

    I don't think I can provide an in-depth strategy for how I'd deal with each and individual issue differently, since the broad strokes are all the same.

    If I'm being honest, when I saw this app drop, I was HYPED. Then I read it, and well, I don't know what to say.

    The app, in my opinion is rather barebones. I didn't learn much about you, your character, or really anything from it. Which really surprised me given the character you play ingame. It felt rushed, and rather low-effort.

    I am fond of your character in game and I can recall a while back telling you to apply for CO as I had you as my XO/SO and other various roles a few times and you always proved more then capable. Checking your time, after a ban a few months ago that I won't get into here, it seems you took a break from CM, but since your return, I still feel the same as I did before you left. You've continued to show you know what you're doing and I know you'd do well as Commanding Officer, I have no doubt about that. You RP very well, and you're fairly competent. I just wish your application expressed that as well.

    With that out of the way, I'll go ahead and drop a +1 on this cause I'm confident you'll do fine. Just please don't make me regret it.

    Hey Frans!

    Thank you for those kind words!

    And GENUINELY? I feel kind of bad about this app for its quality and/or length. Looking at more recent or even older apps, some people really go out of their way to type up all things in elaborate sentences. I guess I've just been rusty as far as applying for things go (Last time I applied for something meaningful was years ago).

    Still, I hope to make you proud, should I be given the opportunity on this whitelist.

    I'd be happy to see this +1'd. Lion's show some good answers.

    As I have rarely, if ever, seen you play CIC; it is hard to judge how capable you could be. However, my interactions with you outside of CIC were pleasant and people I respect are vouching for you. So, I will +1.

    Do not make me regret it
