Common Staff Situations
A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him. I ahelp the person to know why that person has shot the person, i will check they records to see if they are new. If the player is cleary griefing i would.... I dont know if i can ban being an trial moderator , but if i could i would give an ban of 3 hours saying to read the servers and come back later.
Its kinda harshy trying to say wich situation i would do if i dont know.
I mean they broke rule 2 and 4 but giving an extreme big ban its extremely silly.
A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do? I would say to they report on the forum.
I really cant do anything about HC if i am not even in the Yautja Team. Banning or removing an WL is they discretion not mine.
You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart. I would admin PM saying to use mhelp or use the #mentor-channel in discord saying theres an fresh boot camp marine on the preparation. Call the SEA via headset using HC settings to tell theres an new marines on cryo.
If i am playing i would be like an normal player and help they how to play because i am an mentor currently and i know how to teach.
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. Welp i dont like to be rude in ANY way.
I would say.
"Calm down , you cleary is breaking rules 0.2 and rule 3. I am still in training so please be calm. I will call an admin+ to talk with you but i will make an note due to your behavier"
A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this? (Sorry but i dont know american memes so i cant really always know which name is memmy or not.)
I would ahelp the person saying
"Oh hello this name is not allowed and i can just simply swap your charcters name! Wich name you wish?"
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. I mean... why would i mess with In character issues? Its Military Police problems not administration issues ones. He is not breaking any servers rules just S.O.P .
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? "After discussion with the community, and our developers, we've decided to no longer permit hostile survivors until the developers can come up with a mechanic.
Hostile survivors will only be an admin event at the moment and even then it will be obvious hostiles such as CLF/Pirates/UPP.
I have instructed the mod team not to ban people but educate for now, but please tell your friends.
Have a nice day"
"Survivors may NOT be hostile unless they have been spawned as hostile survivors (CLF)."
I would give an verbal warning saying to not do that again and to read the servers rules.
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. I would ahelp the MP and oversee the situation.
If the player was correct i probably was going to give him a heavy warning and tell him to check the marine law , because breaking the ML being an MP is cleary bad.
And probably i would check the captain and the CMP because why would they do that?
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? I really dont know. I think that is not the discretion of being an trial moderator.
I could use the QM to make they spice up and hurry up and subtle the captain to make the round more cooler but i dont have any idea what could i do and i am sorry.
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? U would ahelp to the admins about the situation.
Because theres only MY side of the situation.
Ahelping the person or making anything else would be unfair to that person.
I think i cant ahelp people if i am playing and that people is directly linked to me
The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended. End of Round Grief (EORG) is fighting and generating any combat logs with friendly players after the round ends and is an immediate 3-hour ban without warning. Exceptions are between normal enemies, such as Marines and Aliens, Marines and UPP, etc.
I would do nothing.
A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims. I would ahelp the person and ask why are you doing this.
depending on the answer or i would give a warning or i would give him a griefing ban
Wait i have the rules here:
Rule 4. No griefing
Rule 3. Don't be a dick
Rule 2. Roleplay
They broke this rules
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. (Oh my god)
I would just warn him for bad escalation.
Like really?
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? MOOC: Please cease , you cant munity without ahelping first.
If you dont stop i will take some precautions.
This situation is an bit harshy.
Do i have permission to use MOOC?
Do i have power to stop an munity being an trial-mod?
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. I would LOOC telling to not be a dick because you are breaking the rule 3.
And if they dont stop i would bwoink everyone.
A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off. Well , ban him for griefing?
I dont want to give perma ban but like.
I would give at least an weak ban or two saying to read the servers rules before playing.
And i would aheal everyone (i have permission to aheal in game?)
You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die. (Fun and LOL , i was warned one day about this when i was new. I thought the larva was like TG and could attack so i wanted to kill marines being an larva)
Go ask if they are new and give they an quick-start alien guide.
And probably refund an larva to the pool.
If the guy was griefing just an verbal warning
You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen. I would ahelp him saying why you are breaking the roleplay.
If of course he is new i would give a small warning and give him a guide.
But if not a heavy warning.
Come on its common sense.
A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship". "Xeno hivemind is an English translation of their thoughts, so words such as “hydro” or “shuttle” are acceptable."
IC issue of course.
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. Rule 2. Roleplay.
Man we have ALOT of different kind of situation.
If the person is roleplaying like
"Oh... i hope we dont find aliens on the planet... its better we fight againts UPP or CLF"
its like... a IC issue they are not breaking any rules.
But if the person says:
"Bro theres alien on planet you idiots"
I would ahelp him saying to follow the roleplay
Its very situational and depends on wich speech.
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. I heard something from a moderador one day about this situation.
You CAN do this but only for CERTAIN situation.
Like one pod left and the only hope to survive is killing one marine to survive.
Then i would give IC issue.
But.... if theres like 3 or 5 pods remaining i would give him a warning.
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'. Rule 3. Don't be a dick.
I would give him a warning
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? I dont know.
Maybe mark as IC issue?
Theres several situation my internet crashed and i died and i just let it go instead of ahelping so i cant really relay on my view.
I would ask someone help.
You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule. i would talk with my comrade saying why that information is not correct!
Converstation is the key of an friendship!
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? Contact my superior...
I know CONTACT is easy but COME ON.
I cant really do anything in this situation at all.
If i argue in the MSAY , i would lost my right to say anything at all.
If i thought that was an unclear or unfair ban i would contact i dont know Nanu or forest?
Why would you like to become a moderator? Because... i will not lie.
I ALWAYS wanted to be at least a mentor in the CM and hey! I am an mentor now!
I want help staff in low pop hours and be an cool moderator and help my future team!
I really want some power in game to help and improve the roleplay experience in the rounds!
I really hope i can be accepted this time but sadly my play time lowered in this last of year because i was travelling with my family.
And i didint got any warning so far so!
I AM REALLY exicted to be accept or hope to be accepted
In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator? Be calm and respectful.
Dont be a dick or idiot.
Always see the situation and be neutral.
Anything else you Nope!
second time trying to be trial mod so!
I AM REALLY IN HIGH expectatives!
Sorry for my little broken english.
I am an Brazilian sooo i am improving my english everyday but its not an language barrier in any way!
Hope you got an safe day and i finished my application!
