    Madison 'Spicey' Delaney

    Are you 16 or older?
    Yes

    Timezone
    Pacific Standard Time (US West)

    On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
    Currently I work a 4 hour part time job, anytime between 16:00 to 20:00 I'm free so per week, I'd say 20-28 hours a week if I play everyday.

    Qualifications

    Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
    Aspirant (basically mod with less tools and perms) on Bad Deathclaw, Mentor here, and I THINK that's it?

    Do you play any servers aside from CM-SS13?
    Paradise, Bad Deathclaw, Halo, Leben, a few others but not for more than a round or two

    Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made
    Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
    redundant section is redundant

    Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
    Not currently. Retired from BD due to finals, graduated so I'm free again.

    Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
    Not more than 24 hours, no.

    N/A

    Yes, I'm more than willing

    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    Aghost to the location, observe the situation, PM the shooter and ask what happened, PM the victim and get his side, and determine if it was an accident. If it was just the one shot and the shooter doesn't have a huge note history of shooting people at round start I'll probably leave it to be handled ICly while either telling the shooter to keep it holstered next time or, if the situation calls for it, leaving a note.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Refer the player to the forums to make a player report against the predator, and provide him the information to do so

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    Notify over msay/ahelp to get someone to assist him, unless I'm able to assist him myself

    A player is being very rude to you in adminhelps, calling you names and arguing everything you say. He is requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
    I'd let them know that players aren't allowed to staff hop, and inform them that if they have a problem with how I handled the situation, they can report me on the forums (and I'll toss a link to the report section). If they continue to be hostile in ahelps I'll give them a warning, and if they don't stop I'll turn it into a 3 hour ban (assuming they don't have a huge note history of arguing in ahelps).

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    PM him about the name, explain rule 12, tell him he needs to change it (informing a admin or higher who's capable of doing so) and if he has a history of names like that, apply an appropriate ban

    You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green and there has been no threat to the ship in the round at this point.
    I believe this is an IC issue.

    A Marine ahelps that they were killed by a survivor. It is early round, the Marines have just landed, and the survivor claims that they were outright hostile to all Marines from the get-go and openly stated their intentions. How do you deal with this?
    investigate by PMing the victim what happened, get the survivor's side of things and see if any other witnesses can attest to a openly, non-turncoaty hostile survivor, and review the logs if necessary. If the survivor is found in the wrong, either warn/note or Jban based on player's note history. Survivors are required to adhere to a certain standard of roleplay and players can find the survivor guidelines in the Rules.

    You receive an ahelp from a player stating that an MP has locked them up in permanent confinement for running into Requisitions and taking an attachment that was laying around.
    investigate the situation. PM the MP, the victim and the RO/CT/possible witnesses for their sides of the story, check to see how the MP determined that they deserve to be perma'd, and either inform the player what they actually got perma'd for or warn/note the MP for improper brig procedure and ask them to please release the player from perma

    The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
    if there is an admin+ I'd inform them of the situation, but if there isn't I'd send a queen mother and high command message encouraging players to pick up the progress.

    You are playing as a medic, and another medic overdoses all your patients and prevent marines from being revived. It seems like it may be on purpose. How do you deal with this situation?
    ahelp the situation. I was involved so I can't handle it myself.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    Hostile factions can kill each other after the round ends. EORG doesn't apply here

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    Rule 4 as well as round start shenanigans. Punishable by a warn/note or timed ban based on note history and moderator discretion

    You receive an ahelp from a Marine saying that he was killed by another Marine. When you ask the murderer why, he said it was because the other Marine had punched him.
    Rule 14. Improper escalation. note and a warn/ban based on note history, and an aheal to the victim

    You find out that there is an improper mutiny occuring. The mutineers are rallying together and preparing to storm the CIC. How would you attempt to resolve this situation?
    say in OOC to either ahelp for a proper mutiny or cease. If players continue punish individuals accordingly

    There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.
    I'd PM the person making the joke asking them to stop, since even though 9 marines have no problem with it someone does, and now it's a problem.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    Ban the player for Rule 4 and Rule 9, file for perma. Aheal the victims

    You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die.
    I'm not sure if this is a rule 4 or a rule 11, but it's against the xeno roleplay standards and from my experience results in a xeno role ban, so I'd do as such

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    net speak, as well as not conforming to the xeno roleplay standards. warn/note for first offense, follow with a jobban if it continues

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    Hivemind is an english translation of xeno speak, so this is fine. IC issue

    A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet. You receive an ahelp from a marine regarding this.
    Metaknowledge, warn/note the player if his note history isn't terrible, unless there is an event specifically stating marines should know of the xeno presence. I'd first PM the player why he said it though, just incase survivors somehow set up Tcomms or something.

    You find a Marine killing another Marine on the EVAC Pod to take the last spot and claims it was RP as he was saving himself. There are two other marines in the pod along with him.
    Rule 14. Warn/note the player for first time offense and ban if it continues/has a bad note history.

    While it could be argued that certain situations like that are RPable, it's ultimately still a piss poor reason to kill someone and I'd even consider it being a dick, although I'd probably not apply Rule 3

    A player insults you after you warn them for a minor issue and begins ranting in LOOC or dchat about staff and mentions you specifically, referring to you as an 'idiot' and a 'retard'.
    blatant Rule 3, moderator's discretion but I'd probably apply a 3 hour ban unless they have a huge note history of this

    A player ahelps saying he was hugged by a Xeno when he was ssd, and wants the larva be removed from him via admin powers. How do you handle the ahelp?
    IC issue, SSD isn't an excuse. Some people lose connection in shitty situations and it sucks, but there's no good way to handle that situation without stepping on the enjoyment of other players during the round.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    bring it up in Msay, give them the proper information or ask them why they decided to enforce a rule in that way.

    Two staff are arguing in msay if an ahelp is breaking a rule. Because the staff who took the ahelp thinks the player broke a rule, they ban the player based on their interpretation of the rules, with others thinking the person was fine. What would you do?
    If the player thinks the ruling was unfair they can make a staff report.

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    I've been a mentor on this server twice now, and now I'd like to help in a more involved way, if that makes sense. I retired from mentor to mod on Bad Deathclaw but didn't enjoy how they ran their server compared to CM's more organized staff structure. I retired from BD when finals made it impossible to play and now that I'm graduated I'd like to come back to CM as staff, as I see myself playing here alot more now since I have more time on my hands.

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    being capable of making an informed decision on how to handle a situation.

    Anything else you
    I've been around since Early October, 2017, and although I wasn't very active these past few months I plan on being much more active.

    Some of your answers you copied verbatim from your last application, which they're not wrong. As you are a former mentor, I still question why you think someone beating another marine to death to save themselves with the evac pod is a rule violation as long as it was roleplayed.

    Things have changed a bit, so I have some additional questions for you.

    1. A synth survivor ahelps the following on prison "I spawned in the central ring, and I can't find any exit or do anything to get out of here." How would you handle this?

    2. A larva on prison dies and someone reports him via ahelp. When you speak with the alien he says "I had just spawned and went a few tiles to find the queen when a survivor came out of nowhere and blasted me with an HG Shotgun" What would you do?

    3. Marines Reach DEFCON 1 on a 4 hour round, and the nuke has been ordered. The CO says the IO who worked the hardest has the honors of deploying the nuke with the XO. While on the alamo, a PFC sees the nuke, and he knocks down the IO and ties him up. He does the same to the XO. He then steals the nuke and deploys it right next to the alamo at the FOB. Multiple people ahelp this and when you talk to the PFC he says "I just wanted to set the nuke off." What would you do?

    Seeing as most of my answers from my previous application were correct and pretty much what I would have answered anyways, I didnt see a reason to retype them and chose to copy some over (with some changes based on feedback), in a "If it ain't broke, dont fix it" kind of thing.

    1. I'd provide a link to the map on the wiki, but I'm fairly certain that could be left IC. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    2. I'd aghost over to the larva and observe where it died. If it died within the (I believe civ residents? The western part of the map where xenos spawn) I'd assume the survivor had ran to the hive at round start and leave it IC. If they were outside the civ residents that'd be warnable, to which they'd definitely get a note at the minimum and a xeno Jobban if they have multiple notes about it. If they appear new (and I'm not sure if there's a verb to check hours) I'd give them the note and explain why they shouldn't go out of the hive as a larva.

    3. Tieing up the XO and IO is IC, but assuming the FOB is occupied deploying it in the FOB... I've never had the chance to interact with the nuke, nor witness it explode, but I'm assuming by deploy you mean set it up to explode and not detonate it. What the PFC did would probably be more LRP than IC but if he set it next to the Alamo with the intent to detonate it with unwilling marines still defending the FOB I think that'd be warnable. Let me know if I'm completely wrong though.

    1. Yep, where you spawn is where you spawn, the robit has to wait till they get rescue

    2. You are pretty much correct, if it just spawned and died in the area where it was, then yeah it wasn't a larva suicide

    3. I know its a tricky one, but you are correct on it being LRP.


    I'm gonna say you can have a trial.
