Common Staff Situations
A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him. allow the MP's to play out their role in issuing whatever USCM justice there is
A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do? warn the predator player of his actions informing him of the rules clearly listed for the predator role, suspend, or remove player from the predator whitelist depending on how remorseful player is
You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart. assist him via Rp Character on where to go and what to do, or message him OOC informing him to read the get started guide
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. refer him to the staff member above myself
A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this? private message marine and politely ask he change the last or first name to a more rp friendly name that wont break immersion
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. inform MP's or private message letting him know there are in-game repercussions for adamantly disobeying the normal security and equipment allowances
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? inform the player that you must always be aware of a situation and that the survivor claimed they were hostile openly stating it. Not all colonies are friendly towards their overlords such as Alexandria
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. attachment wasnt secure if it was laying on the ground everyone grabs attachments from the ground if SL squad dumps i would tell MP not to be harsh
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? implant a weyland yutani agent with an ulterior motive to disrupt the marines by having him/ synthetics bring aboard a live host with larva in it that way the experiment can run rampant in the Almayer and liven up the situation
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? privately warn him that if his griefing and sabotage continues he will be suspended from the medical roles, or in general for a certain amount of time, if he does the same things after suspension- ban?
The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended. tell the marine that end of round griefing only applies to objects and people that you normally wouldnt mess with during the round- a hostile force during the round continues to be a hostile force after the round whilst waiting for the new round
A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims. message the marine antagonist and inform him if he doesnt stop it will result in a suspension for griefing teammates
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. let the marine that killed the other know that you are to treat each marine like you would in real life and a lethal reaction to a non lethal aggressive act isnt justified and should not happen again
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? message them informing them that its inhibiting the majority of players to continue the regular op that was set up and they should discontinue their actions or be suspended the round , maybe have MP deal with the situation
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. let the player know that we do not tolerate racism or hate and ask the 9 players that were partaking in the comments, message them informing them of their last chance to adhere to rules because suspension or ban from the server will be the ultimate punishment for continued disasteful remarks
A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off. suspend for indefinate period or ban (with an explanation of what he did ofcourse and how it violates the rules of the server)
You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die. pm asking him what his intentions were to see whether he was too new to know better or if he is purposefully sabotaging the xeno side, if purposeful saboteur than suspension
You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen. pm asking him to either adhere to the rp standards over the server and to respect the queen and the immersion of the xeno side or result in suspension of server
A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship". pm the player who called it a dropship and inform him of the rp standards of the server
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. for all the marine knows- command has already gotten intel on the situation so its not rp-killing
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. there are three spots in an evac pod so his excuse for his "roleplay murder for survival" is redundant
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'. inform him if he uses lewd or inapropriate language not condoned by the server the consequences could result in a suspension or ban
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? let him know that removing a larva would be metagaming and that if he doesnt want the chance of infection he should've picked a safer spot , ride out the rest of the round and just be careful next time, it would rob the xeno player who went through the effort to impregnate that host of his hardwork
You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule. if it was wrong help i would step in to inform the player and the other moderator of the correct information, both seperately if possible
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? instigate a discussion amongst all moderators currently online to see what the group consensus of an appropriate response to the player would be
Why would you like to become a moderator? I enjoy the community and the game of CM SS13 and would like to contribute help towards keeping it toxic free
In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator? friendly and informative !
Anything else you thanks for reading my app!
