    you put more effort into your quirk and talking yourself up than giving valuable, concise information to the people who are down playing the game and don't care about how exaggerated the dapper swagger from the laddies is. You also seem to have issues with not chimping out at the slightest sign of disrespect or insults. look at your past applications for OOC examples- imagine what would happen when a dozen marines are shitting on you because you took too long writing up a copy of churchill's speech. think it over

    I am not suggesting in the slightest I haven't thought it over, the opposite in fact. As I have strived to focus more on mechanical distinction then linguistical distinction, which shall prove a lot better then my formative months in which I wished to shape the character and in the course of trying alienated a large amount of people for my leaning heavily on roleplay that people might not of understood or found it irritating. Nowadays in my course to improve it I have changed my quirk to be quirky when the situation is willing to extents that will not effect the operation at large. to be less so, and more concise when the operation demands clarity, and to vary my character's quirks not just to my linguistic depths but also strategy of the time my character is based off. Though you may criticise this strategy all you want, it'll certainly bring more to the table then just irritating language you (constructively) criticise me for and offer up some fun. Afterall, fun is what this game is all about at the end of the day.

    Play XO when councillors are online if you're not doing so already and show them your playstyle. I'm not voting because I haven't played in a long while, but you'll likely make it through if you prove that you're not prone to go into petty disputes over day-to-day disrespect and minor insubordination by more proactive marines. cheers man

    I've been waiting a while before posting to see you in game however since your app has been up I haven't seen you playing command roles. Another problem is I don't think I've ever seem you as CMP (that I can remember). If you get a couple of hours in these roles over the next few days and do a good job I would be happy to give a +1 as I know your attitude has changed since your last app.

    Yeah, I'll be playing more of the game, and especially command, more now that external pressures have been fixed and I am finally found to not be binging a story game I have been playing probably far too much of recently.

    Okay.

    I apologise for the delay in voting on this app, I've been a bit lofty with CO stuff recently due to heavy amounts of *life* at work recently.

    I think there's a decent amount of apprehension at the moment because your first two applications absolutely shit the bed.
    However, I actually think you'll probably be okay. I do believe you seem a lot calmer than before and I think you are improving with regards to your quirk in character. I didn't get to comment in time on your previous apps about the times I would see massive Quirk Announcements with no substance while marines were begging for direction.

    With regards to your attitude, you've recognised it was an issue and I have no doubt that you realise that it's unacceptable given the suspension from moderator at the time. Nevertheless, as the Commanding Officer you will get people insulting you and disagreeing with you A LOT.
    People will question how you got the whitelist in the first place, your every action critiqued into the sun by people who never play command, people will call you a griefing shitlord of a human being for the smallest possible things at times. Even in those scenarios, the response you gave to Basedoperator is unacceptable.
    I also think you sometimes answer these questions very simplistically or without going into much detail on the answers, and I felt the same about your app initially. I've read it several times and not really felt like there was a lot in each section. However, this can be offset with your answers in the application.

    Having said all that, I'll be the first in the council to vouch for you here in the affirmative, but I'm also going to give you some questions and I want you to give serious answers to them. Give some detail, think about the answers.

    I think you're ready and I want you to show that to everyone else.

    These include Marine Law and SOP Questions so you're more than welcome to check Marine Law before responding. Expected, even. No one remembers everything.

    1. It's lowpop, and a Cargo Tech and Requisitions Officer are arguing. It results in the Cargo Tech insulting the RO, who seems genuinely annoyed and gets the Cargo Tech arrested for DASO.
    The Cargo Tech calls you for a pardon. They don't deny the charges as being invalid, but they're calling the CMO a dick while you're speaking to them.

    Could you Pardon? Would you Pardon? Are there any alternatives you can seek for the minor charge instead of a pardon? Anything else you would do regarding these two?

    2. You've pardoned a Doctor for damage to government property. The same doctor is then arrested again ten minutes later for calling the CMP a shithead.
    They call for another Pardon. Would you do it? Why/Why not?

    3. You've ordered the CMO to the planet. They refuse. Why?

    4. You're called to an appeal of a marine charged with Murder. The marine was in a fistfight with another marine which resulted in cardiac arrest, but the marine only barely survived the scuffle themselves and swears they didn't mean to kill them.
    Would this appeal be valid? What would the charge be?

    5. A Marine is consistently talking about how shit of a commander you are in front of other people. They're telling other people to ignore you and that they're going to do their own thing. You then blow their head off.
    Is this a Valid BE?

    6. A marine is arrested for a minor charge. You decide to overrule their charge into an NJP, and tell them their NJP is to go down to the planet and do their job. Is this an acceptable NJP?

    7. What does leadership mean to you?

    7. What does leadership mean to you?
    1A) I honestly couldn't care less about the CT, there is a requisition officer to handle req (and after roundstart, and it being lowpop, 2 is overstaffing anyhow) and also I don't really think that kind of attitude is appreciated by my character. Pardon request denied. I could, theoretically pardon. But then yet again I could pardon theoretically anyone who did not commit a capital crime. But no, I don't think I will.

    2A) I am not going to pardon them, after all I am held responsible for what they do after they are pardoned. and to pardon them again, after putting in good faith that they shall not carry out a crime a second time. Would be absolutely ridiculous. Especially if IC HC would to catch wind of a person who was pardoned twice, or even after those two pardons both times committed another crime.

    3A) It's an illegal order, since to do so would break SOP (and by proxy marine law), especially section 3.3.0 which states "Department heads are not allowed to deploy to the AO," and people are allowed to not follow illegal orders. Although, yet again, since why he hasn't followed the order hasn't been stated (I am pondering why he did it after all) and it says he must state why he isn't following the order... He could be charged with insubordination... Of course insubordination says you are exempt from following illegal orders but illegal orders are only illegal orders if you state why they are an illegal order, sort of? I am not in the know of how this was intended, but pretty sure as intended if you don't announce why they can still arrest you for insubordination. I am sure i'll contact Nanu about that, but for the time being if this hypothetically happened before I got a word back. I would just leave it for the MPs of the current round to decide. since Officer ordered arrests is a whole other can of worms. Keep it simple stupid.

    4A) If there is lack of evidence that the marine intended to murder the victim, as in any witness statements of him saying "I am going to kill you" or something like that. it is a blurry line but I would probably downgrade his charge to manslaughter, as though there was no intent. He was still directly responsible for killing the victim.

    5A) It is valid, though I wouldn't do it myself, possibly. as per execution privileges we are allowed if they are: "A threat to your command. Credibly attempting to or threatening to undermine your command,"

    6A) NJP's are defined as "All punishment-related orders to perform tasks outside a marine's assigned duties" and since it is within a marine's assigned duties, it is not an NJP

    7A) To ensure cohesion between different arms of a certain task, and to make sure people fulfil their duties to the upmost; to ensure stability & information towards a goal, to neglect or render ineffective chaos or misinformation.

    Right, I don't have any noteworthy issues at present. So long as there's no incidents I'm fine giving a +1 for now.
