    Basic Questions & StoryWhat do you think is the job of a Commander?
    Command troops, Organise the shipside departments to at least basic operation-ability, raise morale, make sure everyone just doesn't unga rush the hive and has at least a basic level of strategy involved (for better or for worse) and guide any would-be CO candidate (XOs) properly on how the whole 'leadership of all the forces' thing works.

    Also, I suppose get along well with CIC (and if you can't, replace it with people you will get along with,) maintain trust between CIC & the marines, and call in the OB.

    Some of these are a bit redundant, but hey. These are basically all the things a common CO will be doing.

    Why do you want to be a Commanding Officer?
    Meh, commanding the forces seems fun as XO. Captain (I espouse) will probably be even better.

    What do you think you could contribute by being whitelisted?
    Good quirk, good brain, a CO who doesn't want to OB delta or something for once (though granted, may try some 'grand battle plans' later in my whitelist just for the fun of it,) and yeah, give a different experience (no matter how minuet that might be) some rounds.

    How will your Commanding Officer behave? Describe their character.
    Warris 'Haig' Fernsby is essentially a very British military officer who acts of the Edwardian period (19th-Early 20th century Britain) in his premiership as an officer, as he is very much modelled off such British Generals as Sir Douglas Haig (or much rather, the stereotypical depiction) during WW1 caring for the glory and victory of war, regardless of human casualties of anyone but for the people he is friends with.

    He also owns in partnership with a friend an ordnance company called "Fernsby & Mountbatten Ordnance." And there-after, has a somewhat large focus on what the explosives of the battlefield have done. Yet again, regardless of human casualties. But that is not to mean he doesn't care about injury or death the common marine faces. He just has a very detracted stance of 'apathy' and "walk it off"-ness to his response when brought up.

    Name and briefly describe your Commanding Officer's own ship.
    His Ship, named the HMS Hastings, is a very large, antiquated, storage container ship that has been heavily modified to become a broadside-firing (with 40 16-inch guns) behemoth of a ship that has about 2 companies of active combat personnel and massive holds of explosive ordnance in some areas where the storage container ship hasn't been modified.

    Due to the wealth of the commanding officer, he has been able to give the ship massive amounts of capitol to requisition such, but did run out of funds for improvement 30 years ago as maintenance and upkeep began to become such a large issue.

    The only glaring issue of the ship is it's armour & modernity, mainly being only half a metre thick in some areas. But the largeness of the ship has most of the time shielded rounds hit from affecting critical areas before the ship can move to broadside and do large amounts of damage to any assaulting craft. It is however thought that in a fight with a carrier-ship. The HMS Hastings would be incredibly outmatched as the ship has very few small-AA guns as it prefers to move with ships that can handle such a threat easier.

    Your story (potential topics listed below)
    ExperienceHow experienced are you with the position of a Squad Leader (SL)?
    I'm experienced, safe to say. I know how to do the role, and the like.

    How experienced are you with the position of a Staff Officer (SO)?
    The first high-rank role I played, veteran, I do my job whilst watching youtube videos (unlike some other SO's who just watch Youtube Videos)

    How experienced are you with the position of a Department Head?
    Played the whole fucking lot out of CE, RO & CMP. Up to a point of absurdity. I don't play CMO though, never really liked medical. Sue me,

    How experienced are you with the position of the Executive Officer (XO)?
    Have played it a bunch, i'd say at least 10 rounds for every map or something like that.

    How familiar are you with Marine Law and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)?
    Familiar with it, I have been CMP & moderator a bunch after all.

    ScenariosWhen do you believe a Battlefield Execution should be used? List some examples of scenarios in which a battlefield execution would be correctly used.
    I'd follow the SOP standard to the T, afterall CO's shouldn't really break law at all. Unless they want their whitelist removed.

    It should be used when any other rout has been expended, and/or there is an immediate threat to the command or the ship, or it's a spy threatening security and is breaking capital punishment laws.

    Meh, I don't think I'd ever use BE more then a few times in my entire career. That's why this section will be so short.

    Examples:

    A spy from the UPP is about to assassinate him, he decides to execute him using a mateba

    An SL is calling for a mutiny, and is murdering any MP's he comes across. And has now entered CIC

    Under what circumstances do you believe it is legal to pardon a prisoner? What are some examples of crimes you would pardon, and those you would not?
    When the person arrested is integral to the operation to an absurdity that such a crime can be forgiven in the interests in saving lives.

    Oh and if it isn't a capital punishment.

    There is only one Pilot Officer online, he accidentally breaks a window. And are arrested by MP's for damage to government property, I hear of this. He is released.

    A delta marine is arrested for murdering a charlie marine. And is not requesting a pardon. I don't pardon him.

    What is your routine after starting the round as either a Staff Officer or Executive Officer? Assume you joined round-start and are inside your quarters.
    Starting as XO, Go to the bubble. Give RO the supply points from Defcon. Set Dropship pad. Greet the command staff, check for any outstanding starting issues. And issue a roundstart announcement with briefing time in it.

    How would you handle insubordinate departments? State what you would do for each department if they were insubordinate.
    Arrest the leader of the insubordination, replace him with someone who isn't insubordinate. If none of the sort is available. Just try and convince by other incentives, if still none of department cooperates. Just leave it until a replacement is found.

    How would you handle an understaffed CIC? What if you and the XO are the only available CIC crew?
    Just get on with the round and do overwatch. Isn't the end of the world, have played lowpop rounds like that before and I haven't recieved an issue.

    If a CE or someone is available. Get him to help with the communications overflow.

    What would you do if you were deployed and a marine told you they were going to desert the operation?
    Well, I wouldn't deploy unless I had a military police on my escort. So I'd just say to the marine not too, give him a proper debate on it. If he stiill does, get him for conspiring to desert. And get him arrested by the MP. If there is no MP with me, I'd just get a SL to give me his zipties and some marines to hold him down.

    ConfirmationsDo 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

    Do you understand you cannot advertise or promote this application on any platform, including Discord?
    Yes

    Do you also understand that you may not edit this application 1 hour after it has been posted?
    Yes

    question time!

    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 round going back and fourth what is your idea of breaking the stale mate?

    3. You deploy and the XO gets assassinated by a bunch of unga delta's what are you going to do?

    4. A bunch of deltas and an IO the Alamo at 12:18 without asking you and without the PO. What will you do?

    5. finally a example of a briefing for a planet of your choice
    good luck!

    1A. Clear violation of the rules, (this reminds me of mod app questions) since I am semi-involved in this matter, I'd ahelp it.

    2A. Get Orbital Bombardment coordinates, order usage of fire support to break the stalemate. Order charge, rinse and repeat. It'd definitely be more complicated then that, but just as a general rule. Either we get killed by the xenos, or we kill the xenos. Oh I mean that is if we're not close to a Defcon level, then i'd wait for that defcon level then do that.

    3A. Improper mutiny, ahelp.

    4A. Probably post an announcement about how it's jolly well rude, order them back onto the dropship or face death by the enemy on the planet. (it's also pre-20:20 so it's meta-drop) and remote-launch it back up. I'd ahelp about it also to get the person who was the leader to be told to knock it off.

    5A. I'll keep my planet simple, LV-624. Because I can't stomach many more answers today

    "Good afternoon chaps, hope you have enjoyed a rather stirring option of cardboard for your MRE's this fine evening,"

    "Orders are as follow:"

    "Alpha - You are to move forth and restore the power, don't want us chaps to have to walk around in the darkness!"

    "Bravo - FOB duty, as standard."

    "Charlie - You are to move and setup an outpost at Hydro"

    "Delta - There is rather thick fog on the river, scout for gaps in it. If there are none, report to hydro and await further orders."

    "We don't know what'll be there chaps, but it's certainly not good, it's also unlikely for the enemies to have remained in the colony, unless they wish for an extra helping of fire support dropped on their little front. Dismissed."

    Oh and uh, what was I going to say... Enjoy my sleep-deprived answers.

    Thank you for applying,

    I have some concerns with your answers,

    BEs being a last resort is an attitude I think a lot of green COs and applicants have (or at least say they do). It's not necessarily wrong, however there's going to be situations where there is no other resort. The answer also feels pretty lackluster entirely. Agents also aren't supposed to kill people without proper escalation by rules (though yes it does happen and you can take care of it ICly). Just my two cents here.


    How would you handle insubordinate departments? State what you would do for each department if they were insubordinate.
    Arrest the leader of the insubordination, replace him with someone who isn't insubordinate. If none of the sort is available. Just try and convince by other incentives, if still none of department cooperates. Just leave it until a replacement is found.
    Are you saying you would just leave an entire insubordinate department be? What if it was req entirely disobeying you and throwing the operation? Your answer here is very confusing.

    What would you do if you were deployed and a marine told you they were going to desert the operation?
    Well, I wouldn't deploy unless I had a military police on my escort. So I'd just say to the marine not too, give him a proper debate on it. If he stiill does, get him for conspiring to desert. And get him arrested by the MP. If there is no MP with me, I'd just get a SL to give me his zipties and some marines to hold him down.
    I understand your intentions but this one is just plain wrong. MPs on honor guard are not supposed to be arresting. MPs should not be conducting arrests in unsafe areas such as the AO. You're going to try arresting someone who is armed in the field who's committing a capital crime and actively deserting?

    Your entire application seems very lackluster to me personally. You lack a lot of certainty or conviction in your answers and I don't think you know Marine Law very well. As for your playtimes I've seen you play XO and done an okay job but I cannot vouch for your skills in any other department.

    Since the app leaves much to be desired and I don't have enough experience witnessing you in-game to confidently determine my opinion I'm going to give you some questions and decide my final vote on your answers.

    QUESTIONS:
    1. You wake up with an XO who from the get go consistently contradicts the orders you give, ex: giving announcements to push when you say hold. They seem to be refusing to listen to you. How do you handle them?

    2. A marine breaks into your office and proceeds to kill Jones. He is detained by the MPs and requests an appeal. What would his charges be and how would this appeal be conducted?

    3. A prisoner is held in the brig on an Assault with a Deadly Weapon charge, three minutes on their sentence remain. They requested an appeal when they first entered the brig, an MP denied it. ARES has called you to the brig to handle this. How do you handle this situation?

    4. A SO accidently inputs the FOB coords into the OB and fires without being given the order to. How do you handle this?

    5. Two MPs have decided to execute a prisoner for committing Murder. How do you handle this?

    6. The tank is fully operational but missing it's gunner, as they are permadead and unrecoverable. The marines are losing ground without it. How do you continue to make the tank operational?

    Personally to me I view SL far more important to know and play compared to XO/SO as anyone can figure out how to push buttons on an OW console and read chat a bunch. SL you learn the map on a whole new level, understand what marines actually want and are willing to do, and the stress of combat while leading. Though it is only one squad compared to 4, a good CO/XO will let SLs lead to their discretion.

    I have new actually seen you play SL and I pay a LOT of attention to SLs. I vaguely recall you as an SO and never really XO which is fine. Answers are generally fine though what Morgan Major here brought up is rather concerning as it should be common knowledge to not have MPs arresting on the front-lines. Also few SLs actually carry zipties as the box doesn't fit in a bag and small slots such as helmets are used for ammo, bandages, and cosmetics.


    Overall though the app is fine but your lack of playing SL (and somewhat XO) is gonna bring me to -1.

    While I worked with you as a mod and you seemed fine, I haven't seen you as XO much. Roll a round with me and if I like what I see i'll give you a +1

    Neutral for now

    I'll be happy to. I will certainly be playing XO GMT time all this week

    1A. That is sedition clearly and I would (considering his access to MP communications) I would order the MPs to their brig to handle a problem. Tell them of the true nature of the arrest, setup a proper cordon around CIC and then arrest him.Of course the more easy answer would be to BE him but that'd be improper (probably would though if that plan fell through) and let me remind you my character doesn't like inglorious death.

    2A. Damage to government property and Trespass (DTGP if he did any damage to the doors or otherwise) since Jones is just a cat and not a person. The appeal will be conducted by an MP who wasn't involved in the arrest, and
    they'd follow the appeal section of ML. (I don't need to repeat this surely, it's a nightmare to even answer questions on a phone)

    3A. It is past the halfway point of the sentence so he is to be released, as per appeal section.

    4A. Considering he has just committed several accounts of manslaughter and disobeyed orders and is posing an incredible threat to the operation, a battle field execution would be in order.

    5A They have broken marine law so I'd Ahelp about it. No need to take time out of my IC operational duty.

    6A A SO or a synthetic can act as a vehicle operator and i would pick either with their availability. Synthetics can only drive the tank as per their programming but operate the tank better while an SO can operate both roles fully but is poorer trained. I'd handle this on a case by case basis but either way someone will operate the tank.

    Hope you enjoyed the answers phone edition.
