    Jamesthebond - Commander Application

    Commander Whitelist Application
    Byond ID?
    Jamesthebond

    Player Name You Use Most?
    Jonathon'Ghost'Granger

    Make a list of links to all of your applications and (job)ban appeals, including whitelist and staff apps, within the last year. Also, provide "Ban reason; Verdict" beside each (job)ban link
    //showthrea...or-Application Mentor application
    //showthrea...9733#post39733 the orginal CO app that i was originallly going to post but did not have time to complete *school reasons*

    Have you received any ban within the last month? How long was it and what for?
    No,N/A

    Do you understand that any player - even donors or staff members - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our Server Rules or Roleplay Guidelines?
    Yes

    How do you view the tool of Battlefield Execution to be used? What circumstances do you think it would be necessary to BE a member of the crew? Where do you think the Battlefield Execution Mechanic Differs from regular Execution and why?
    I view Battlefield Execution as a way to remove someone who has no regard for orders to the extent that they are either slow progress on the operation or putting the whole operation at risk of immanent Failure The difference between both the execution mechanic and regular is the Battle execution is non-formal and used if only if there is a threat to the operation or other lives and is extra-jurisdictional and fast, skipping all the administrative actions, while the other is formal for people who are not at risk of ending lives are the operation.

    How will your Commanding Officer run his/her ship? Provide a detailed explanation on how he would handle situations that might commonly occur such as, a insubordinate Req, Engineering, MP, or Command Staff
    As the highest-ranking member of the ship I intent on ensuring the players around me are as involved as possible in operations especially in CIC. Issuing orders to my subordinates to keep them active while also interacting with the XO and corporate Liaison. I would like to see my second in command run my operations occasionally to give them the Experience opportunity to take over the operation or take suggestions regularly. every operation I would make a check on every aspect of the ship's personal to make sure all personal duties are fulfilled and ensure the structure of the ship's command is fully structured even if it lacks personal in some areas. In my experience as XO and the only commanding officer in most cases, I would arrange myself to assist or taking over certain departments, such as dealing with Requisitions temporarily or taking on the duties of the MT or CE in engineering or dealing with Transport Alamo or Normandy *pending on landing zone* due to the XO's ability to be universal

    What do you think is the job of a Commander?
    The Captain is a role with ultimate authority that settles disputes and organizes the ship's personal for a singular objective and lets the staff below him in the command chain thrive on that objective and micromanage the smaller aspects of the ship's personal below them and allows the base of which roleplay is founded on.

    As a player what do you think could be added for Commanding Officer to benefit the role?
    A timer or some such to allow the Marines side more time before the Xenos take over the Transport Dropship to allow more RP such as memorials and debriefs and add the realism of storing their gear and getting their gear back for possible Ship invaders with a central link that can be taken the ground side to patch cameras to CIC from the surface or space station.

    What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted?
    I would contribute to help inspire the men and women to do heroic actions while performing their duties. I would also ensure the CIC staff will have a greater level of confidence when managing their Squads and positions while also encouraging greater levels of cooperation between Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta squads.

    Application is too short, I'm not one to harp on writing novels, but it's the not even the bare minimum for me. I know your name and have seen you before. If you can play as SO/XO lot more and show your stuff and answer my question with 'effort' then I can make a final decision.

    I know you, so I'm going to ask you a few questions.

    1. What would you think to be an appropriate time to Battlefield Execute someone?

    2. What kind of plans would you have for a map? Give me a basic briefing for any of the current maps.

    3. What do you do if a Lieutenant ordered evac or retreat without asking you?

    Good luck.

    I understand this is a short application I had not been offered the chance to fully spend hours on it the past month due to college, and world events if I had the time to put a lot more I would. I usually play XO on low pop or early due to a lack of people willing to take up command in some situations. Since I've become a mentor I've been making that my primary role because I can give advice based on my experiences and I fully enjoy training new players the game and even older players while learning a trick or tip here and there while teaching them to how to enjoy their role to the fullest degree. I hope that my answers are what you were expecting as a response in detail.

    1. What would you think to be an appropriate time to Battlefield Execute someone?

    I believe BEs should only be used on crew members for example; who are Currently performing/have done actions that jeopardize the entire operation, Performed executable offenses under Marine Law where the lack of time makes a normal execution impossible/highly impractical, Directly attacking you or effecting the operation of the ship, Planning to/actively trying to commit treason/overthrow you.

    2. What kind of plans would you have for a map? Give me a basic briefing for any of the current maps.

    The map ill make a scenario is LV 624 after i announce a briefing at 12:20 depending on the amount of personal present i would base my battle plan on a Aggressive or defensive stance but for this example
    i will use a high population round with squads fully operational in all boundaries at the briefing id introduce myself explain why we are investigating LV 624 and what to expect and the objectives and then announce orders
    for the squads and for this briefing i would make the following Early round
    Alpha:Investigate Hydro and make a foward outpost
    Bravo:Fortify Nexus and LZ1 and form a FOB
    Charlie:Scout west with the IOs and recovery any survivors or information concerning the reason the colony is in distress
    Delta:Head toward engineering and restore power then head north to help fortify the out post
    before i decide this decision fully i would take any advise from the XO in case he has different views that might be a better outcome
    based on the events unfolding the three main battle squads Alpha, Charlie, and Delta I would put an order in which Alpha pushes into WESTERN BARRENS Charlie Pushes and secures Cargo containers while Delta supports charlie.
    considering on the events that unfold they would pull back to T coms based on the resistance encountered or push north into the caves and exterminate the threat but in another situation, if the squads were taking major resistance
    and many wounded I would make a tactical withdraw to the South side of the river and to hydro

    3. What do you do if a Lieutenant ordered evac or retreat without asking you?

    Regarding the question of Evacuation, I would relieve the Lieutenant of his command and allow the military police to follow marine law by charging him Disorderly Conduct. Otherwise, Staff officers in a combat aspect,
    for instance, they see their squad is being flanked or cut off and need to withdraw to hydro or push to another squad I would not press major punishments to any based on the situation involved in battlefield matters unless
    it leads to disastrous results, for instance, charging the squad in an Orbital strike while it is being called. but since evacuation is more round inflicting and requires a higher authority to make that decision

    Right question timeeeee:

    1 - In which situations do you believe that pardonning someone is reasonable ( Please provide examples )?

    2 - You are the CO playing in Low pop. Your Alamo Pilot keeps sending the ship up and down via the PO buble in the midle of the hangar. When you confront him he tells you he is doing his job and tells you to fuck off. What would you do ? (Please include all scenarios that you can think off, if there are many marines, docs, MPs etc)

    I hope these questions are detailed because i answered them the best i can to the best of my ability and thank you for asking me the questions!

    FYI there were spell errors in your questions but i auto corrected them in my questions to make clear what i thought the Questions are

    1 - In which situations do you believe that pardoning someone is reasonable ( Please provide examples )?

    I believe Pardoning someone of a crime should only be used when the crime is not a Major Crime with higher positions critical to mission success for instance a Staff officer trespassing in medical to get a medhud to see the squads status on the helmet cams or the only MT online is charged with Theft because he stole metal from the engineering department to make supply crates.
    in other situations including major crimes pardoning i believe should be used when there is a lack of proof for the crime and there is little to no proof for their arrest for instance a SL happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was in the way of a MP chasing a rogue PFC and blocks the Mp for a moment then gets charged with Interfering with an arrest. Under Capital Crimes i would not pardon unless i was forced to by High command due to the extent of the crimes.

    2 - You are the CO playing in Low pop. Your Alamo Pilot keeps sending the ship up and down via the PO bubble in the middle of the hangar. When you confront him he tells you he is doing his job and tells you to fuck off. What would you do ? (Please include all scenarios that you can think off, if there are many marines, docs, MPs etc)

    To begin with, the Pilot can be charged with Neglect of duty *Demotion/removal of command* for not assuring that the Alamo/Normandy gets down safely and assuring that the drop ship is safe onboard while returning to the USS Almayer.If the PO was New id advise him on marine law and refer the SEA to him if there is one stationed onboard. Secondly, after informing the CMP or an MP of the charges and having the PO arrested I would assign a replacement most likely the CAS pilot, but if another PO is not available in The Combat Information Center I would assign the XO but if he is asleep and the position Had to be taken over directly I would assign a SO to take over from the console in CIC as a last resort. If no CMP or MP is awake i would deputize a Staff Officer to make the arrest and enforce Marine Law, and if SOs where not awake i would resort to battle execution as my last possible resort for not assuring marines make it safety back and fourth from the USS Alamyar and putting the ship at risk for boarders and other threats.

    A superior roleplayer that I have seen myself as well as the only person I know who enjoys SEA and actively mains it.

    Never really seen you as command staff, but thats probably because of my playtime and I am sure you'll be fine.

    Your application is a tad bit short though so I will ask some questions so you can make up for it.

    Most of these are based on real situations.

    1. Two MPs kidnap the CMP by drugging him to sleep, then kidnapping them to the execution chair as a prank. They're the only MPs on the ship besides the CMP. What is your course of action?

    2. It's been a 2 hour ICE round, Four spec kits come in ASRS. You plan to distribute them to well known robust marines so they can robust the xenos,but someone breaks into req and steals two for ,one for themself and someone else who dies shortly after.
    What will you do?

    3. CIC power goes out, there are 2 MTs and a CE , You see them doing shenanigans like making bars planetside, redesigning CL's office for CL, etc, instead of working on power. What will you do?

    4. A bunch of deltas and an IO unga and steal the Alamo at 12:16 without asking you and without the PO. What will you do?

    Thank you for your questions and thank you for the complement i usually play XO when it is low pop i tend to love taking over CIC and Req at the same time i hope you find these Answers acceptable and on the last question part of that was based on one round when i was XO at the memorial and you proviide good RP as well sighing my papers that do not really matter later round

    1. Two MPs kidnap the CMP by drugging him to sleep, then kidnapping them to the execution chair as a prank. They're the only MPs on the ship besides the CMP. What is your course of action?

    Deputize 2-3 Staff officers and arrest the MPs for Illegal Confinement/Disorderly Conduct and renstate the CMP then notify the Admins since it is against the Rules to break Marine law as a MP

    2. It's been a 2 hour ICE round, Four spec kits come in ASRS. You plan to distribute them to well known robust marines so they can robust the xenos,but someone breaks into req and steals two for ,one for themself and someone else who dies shortly after.
    What will you do?

    Notify the CMP or deputize Staff officers *in the event miltary police are not active* to investigate the matter and retrieve the kits while arresting the Thief and press charges

    3. CIC power goes out, there are 2 MTs and a CE , You see them doing shenanigans like making bars planetside, redesigning CL's office for CL, etc, instead of working on power. What will you do?

    Notify the CMP or deputize the Staff officers *in the event miltary police are not active* Charge the Staff with Neglect of duty and replace them with an XO or Squad engineering or SEA according to the situation

    4. A bunch of deltas and an IO unga and steal the Alamo at 12:16 without asking you and without the PO. What will you do?

    Depending on the situation I would mark the IOs and Delta Soldiers as Insurb for deploying against orders and let the MPs arrest any that come ship side or press no actions and let them die off because of their decision because as my experience as XO Delta will UNGA to a point they are nonessential and does not listen to orders and it is the best interest in arresting them as they come up from the surface then arrest all of them at once to spark a mutiny right away The IOs are included on this as well depending on deltas Unga i will issue the rest of the squads to take the glory and do a memorial at the end and say it is deltas fault people died.
