    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    Basically ask what the cunt was doing and why. Depending on the reason and how many warns he's had, I would probably just ban the lad for a couple of hours.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    I would ask the player what the predator did exactly. Regardless, I would observe the predator for a while and see if he's doing anything wrong. Should he do something wrong, I would probably warn the guy and make him check the rules again. If it isn't first time, I would suspend his whitelist for probably 2 weeks or just remove.

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    I would PM the player and ask if he's new to the game, and then send a mentor his way. If not, then I would try to get someone to help him, link him the Wiki for help, and/or try my best to guide him in any way.

    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.
    Insults and such I don't really care about other than the arguing. I would send the Wiki his way and tell him to read about the process of things on whatever the problem is. If he requests to see an Admin+, I would try to get in contact if there's one that's free. Otherwise, I would say that I can't and would try to get other mods to help me with the lad.

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    I would contact the player who's named John Doe and tell him that one of the rules is that we don't allow pop culture names in the server and to change his name once he's perma dead or in the menu. If he does not change his name, and it's not 2nd or 3rd time, ban for a couple of hours.

    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.
    First ask the cunt what in the bloody hell is he doing running around with heavy gear. I would then tell him that there's basically a Marine Law stating weapon restrictions depending on the Code. I'll warn him about it and probably let MPs handle it. If it's being done multiple times, ban them for a couple of hours.

    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?
    I would investigate and ask the survivor what good reason they have for straight hostility against the marines. If it's first time, I would warn them. 2nd time I would just ban them for a couple of hours, escalating the amount of time with the number of times they broke the rule.

    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.
    I would check the logs to see if they're right, afterwards I would try to contact the MP in question and ask what the offense was and what the punishment is. If what MP said wasn't correct. I would remind them that the maximum penalty is basically only 20-30 minutes and that the punishments don't add up. I would then basically try to get them to reduce the sentence. If they don't follow, I'd get the CMP or someone else to do it and warn the original MP.

    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?
    The aliens would probably be more difficult to encourage since they have no way to attack the marines other than calling the dropship. Personal opinion would be to remind or subtly message the marines that there are survivors down there and there's no harm going down to take a look, especially when there's booze down that they could swoop in and get. For Aliens, I would remind them to expand further since there are more hosts in other areas and it's their world and no one else's.

    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?
    I would tell the player to stop overdosing the patients since he's basically killing them. If he does not stop, I tell him never do it again when he comes back and ban them for a couple of hours. The amount of time increases with the amount of bans the player has received.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    Unfortunately, I would remind the CLF member that they're hostile against the marines and are both enemies. Since they're enemies and not friendlies, this does not count as EORG.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    I would check the logs to see if what they say is true. If it is, I would warn the madlad that he is griefing and to stop doing it. If he continues with no action taken from another person, I would just ban them for a couple of hours. Amount of time increases with the amount of bans.

    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.
    I would check the logs to see if the events actually happened, I would then warn the murderer that even if the other person was griefing, that does not mean that you're allowed to shoot them. I would warn both of the lads and not do it again or get banned. If the murderer was lying and just straight up killed the lad, then I would tell him that we don't allow griefing and ban them for a couple of hours.

    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?
    Firstly I would try to get all the mutineers to bloody calm down and not do anything. I would then remind them that in order to have a proper mutiny, they need to follow the procedures for it. If anyone does anything related to the improper mutiny after the warning, I would ban them for a couple of hours.

    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.
    As unfortunates as it is to the player, I would probably let it slide as long as long as it doesn't get TOO major with the racist comments, since people are having fun more than being down. I would try to get the offended person to just not listen on their conversation and calm them down and the conversation might completely die due to the nature of the game.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    I would ban the cunt for 7 days should they ever come back and file for a permaban.

    You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die.
    Depending if it's their first time, I would introduce them to the rule of "Combat Larva" basically a larva just running straight to the front lines, even though the larva is not a COMBAT caste. If it's not their first note, I would ban them for a couple of hours, with the amount of time increasing with the amount of bans.

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    I would warn the player if it's their first time that there a role playing expectations and would link them the wiki page for RP. If it's their 3rd note, I would ban them for a couple of hours, amount of time increasing with the amount of bans.

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    I would warn the player if it's their first time that there a role playing expectations and would link them the wiki page for RP. If they keep calling the shuttle the "dropship" on purpose, I would ban them for a couple of hours after the 3rd-5th time.

    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.
    I would warn the player if it's their first time that there a role playing expectations and would link them the wiki page for RP. If it's their 3rd note, I would ban them for a couple of months, amount of time increasing with the amount of bans.

    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.
    First thing, I would take the opinion of my fellow moderators and higher ups. Personally, I would not do anything since it IS considered RP (and frankly might make people laugh at the situation (except the recipient)) However, if other people found the act disapproving or basically being an asshole, basically not many people found the action fond, I would warn the player.

    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'.
    Again, I don't care about insults or small ranting until they begin to just pure spam. Should they keep spamming or the rest of the chat is getting annoyed, I will warn them first and ban them the second time.

    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?
    I would not do it since it could influence the Xeno count since they rely on humans for increase in their numbers.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    I would try to nose in and correct them on whatever they enforced or correct them in the information. Basically, try to help them not do it again. (Doubt this scenario happens commonly..... right?)

    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?
    Depending on whether the rule broken heavily affects gameplay or the way it was interpreted is just beyond ridiculous, I would think it's fine or try to compromise in a way.

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    Mainly because I play this game almost every week and because you guys were looking for mods and i just told myself why not, you know? (also because I got peer pressured by noah and aceluke) ((is joke))

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    Observation and Judgment, without those two you would either be blind and deaf or ignorant and powerhungry or both.

    Anything else you
    I do hope to be a mod since it would further drag me in to the game and make me play it more, but I also hope that I could influence the game to be more enjoyable. (Also just to make noah happy that I applied the bloody madlad) ((is joke))

    I'm going to say right off the bat that I really do not like this application. You refer to fellow players as 'cunts' several time. I'm sure someone else will go into detail about the issues with your answers, but they're unfortunately quite far from what we look forward to.

    Overall, I don't feel like your attitude is suitable for moderation, as a lot of these answers show an excessive hostility towards other players, and a lot of them show a poor understanding of what a Moderator does.

    Are you Scottish or something? You can't be calling people cunts willy-nilly on our server, even more so as a mod. Unless you can promise you can drop that, I can't support you on our team.

    I think regardless of the merit of the answers themselves, you made the decision to try to inject some lightheartedness/'humor' into your app, and it was the wrong move in this case.

    Consider coming back in a little bit with some slightly better playtime and a more serious app. Until then, I can't support you joining the team.

    Due to the way my app has been received, I want to cancel the current application. I'll be taking scsnv's advice and apply much later and try not to let my personality and humour get in the way of things. Forgive me for the inconvenience and nescient behaviour.

    Closing this due to the player wishing to cancel his application. This thread will stay up until such time a manager get's to it.
