    well, there is this

    I have seen multiple time you were by no mean a bad commander just some time you take yourself a tad bit too seriously ^^
    which Kira said.

    and there is this

    application seems good and your a decent active command player with a decent quirk.
    which Albert Blackwell said

    I have improved my quirk, and plan to improve further once I have the confidence rank in CO, and I am no longer babbling useless things. Granted, on an odd day I might do some bad announcements, but they at least contain some information llike an order to build a cadeline somewhere instead of just unga'ing to death when the queen comes out.

    I can vaguely remember a time where I went on a unhinged rant, at the start of my foray into upper command, and basically I am in no ways going to return to that soon. For once again that was under the scope of 2020, and 2020 hasn't been a nice year for me. And that involved someone who was totally not well acclimated to the job of commanding & roleplaying in short order.

    I don't want to ping someone just so they can come vouch, that'd be annoying for them, and may or may not be advertising, so I do hope these two people at least show you I have improved quite massively from my previous alpha stage as a CIC character.

    I came on to say happy fur-day and I hereby vouch his quirk and I have not seen nor heard of it being abused since his last application, as a long term and respected player.

    If he fucks up the quirk just throw 'em out. It's what you did with me and there's no reason to not do it to others.

    Ehh, I gave a +1 on the last one, and my main concern was your dickhead answers. If you really think that you have changed in the past 2 months, and are willing to take it seriously this time, then I will give you the same thing I said last time. Tentative +1, don't fuck it up and you will probably get the app this time.

    As a CO with an arguably questionable quirk, I have had Warfan under my command twice or so about now since his application was up. Now, I don't know if I'm reputable but I like to think I am. I would say the Quirk Warfan has is pretty good, I can agree that sometimes I saw an announcement that needed to be made that came out slow due to the added flavor of his writing. Regardless of this I truly enjoy the quirk, I don't think it's super overbearing and I enjoy having a little British Flair aboard the Almayer.
    So with a bit of confidence, I am going to give this a +1

    (though I'd like to see a little CMP out of you)

    now that bring me to my question.
    1) jone has been kidnapped by a survivor and threatened to kill it, your mp acted without a word and the cat was killed. What do you do?
    2) You lack a proper requistion(Could imply lacking technician or the CT is inexperienced) You may assume the rest of situation to your call to fit the answer.
    3) A specialist(Doesn't matter what spec they are, They are all equally important if the player know what they are doing) have broken a minor law and has been arrested. Your call?

    I've been thinking on this for a while, it's a tough cookie.

    Positives first
    • You have the capacity to roleplay very well
    • You maintain a consistant character
    • You know the rules of the server and what we expect from CO
    • I can see you being someone who focuses on making the role fun, rather than winning

    Negatives
    • From asking around, you supposedly have an attitude problem, (For reference, I don't know you so, this is just what I've heard, don't take it personally)
    • Your character can be a bit /too/ quirky at times,(example: referencing enemies using a historic term used during WW1 is too much for the role, your vocabulary can be so intense that marines have at times struggled to understand you)
    • You haven't spent too much time as an MP/CMP, which is a huge part of being Captain, especially now that prisoners can request the Captain.


    I'm going to hold off casting a vote as of yet, as I want to give you a chance to enhance your positives and address any perceived negatives.

    Best of luck and happy commanding


    Edit: After speaking with the other council members, I believe one further month to examine the improvements you've been making and seeing them stick will be the best course of action, I could go on but I'd rather get this application decided on, as it has already been quite delayed. -1, but keep up the self-growth and you'll be a CO in no time.

    I want to thank you incredibly for giving me quite a detailed look at negatory matters. Though I have already seen the negative points before and I have been attempting in recent times to remove them from my play as a commanding officer; I shall take this step by step and give you my detailed extrapolation of your identifications.

    [*]From asking around, you supposedly have an attitude problem, (For reference, I don't know you so, this is just what I've heard, don't take it personally)
    This has been a very large problem and has plagued my application process from the very beginning, but I have received better times as of late and I don't think it is fair to say I am bitter or angry with my attitude anymore. Of course there are times (if you definitely look at my older applications) where I was quite positively passive aggressive. This attitude has been curtailed if you have noticed because of many factors I have already covered in this thread if you want to look back to my previous responses.

    [*]Your character can be a bit /too/ quirky at times,(example: referencing enemies using a historic term used during WW1 is too much for the role, your vocabulary can be so intense that marines have at times struggled to understand you)
    Yes, this is an issue. Though I think your example in the brackets may be a bit unfair if quite fine in the right setting. Of course using outdated WW1 language is not really good for understanding, but it is part of my ethos in roleplaying my character. In future (and in the present) I will attempt to leave the roleplay fluff to un-important extravagance & parts of my words that do not need to be conveyed with 100% understanding by the whole marine side. If you also count for good money my attempts to use variations of language (that has been a problem, specifically 'jove' & 'chap') that my character conceivably uses I am shaping up my character to be understandable but very distinguishable. I do hope I will receive the commanding officer application in order to develop it further and meld my roleplay architecture into suitable comfort.

    [*]You haven't spent too much time as an MP/CMP, which is a huge part of being Captain, especially now that prisoners can request the Captain.
    I do find this quite an uncomforting thought. I thought I have played MP/CMP quite a lot, I have certainly received professionalism in the role at least, but if people suppose my playtime in the role as not up to good standard I will certainly play some more rounds as CMP/MP to prove, by any passer by person who wishes to give me the honour of a vote, that I have above and beyond the expectations you should entrust a Captain in the terms of Marine Law & SOP. CMP/MP is certainly an easier role to admin & play with anyhow.

    1a) Though I don't really care for the cat, if you presume what the lore says it's the admiral's cat so I do have to take action reluctantly. and the action would be demoting the MP for abetting the criminal, and getting the survivor and MP arrested for animal cruelty. And also adding an additional charge to the survivor for theft. considering how aiding & abetting is worded he indirectly abetted in the killing of the cat for knowing the risks, and yet carrying out his plan of direct action.

    2a) I can always send down a CIC staff to man it, giving them requisitions permission, getting a synthetic or a SEA (if either are available) to do the job, getting over non-important staff to do it, the options are somewhat limited in pathing but there are many.

    3a) as stated in the law I have the ability to pardon if it endangers the operation in any way shape or form. And specialists are definitely important for the smoothness of an operation. However, I do not know whether or not he may commit another crime (which I may be held responsible for) so it would be by a case by case basis. Though quite possibly if it's the start of the round, he's a very important specialist, the MPs are overzealous & the squad is striking unless he is released, and he says he's just going to get on the dropship ASAP once released. That is almost definitely at a time where I would pardon him.

    I haven't quite the time to answer to my full. Excuse me.

    I suppose the answer is acceptable (to me from my time with being CMP anyway) I think you'll do just fine being CO and I already support your clowning officer application.
    now give em hell

    Try making your questions before you give your support, if you give your decision and then start to make questions it becomes fuzzy for us to decide/evaluate and it makes the application a mess of responses.
