    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    Nothing, no one ahelped, problem was solved by players, let them enjoy their round.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Ask the side of the predator about what happened before making a decision

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    Let them walk a few more minutes, have their own freedom, if something really isnt right then i'll tell a mentor to contact him

    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.
    Agree to his request

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    Contact the marine about Name rules

    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.
    Observe for few minutes, if continuing to break roleplay, contact him about it.

    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?
    Tell the marine about the rules, survivor are allowed to kill him. end of rule end of story

    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.
    clearly not according to marine law. enforce marine law.

    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?
    this does not happen

    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?
    contact him and ask him about it. if intentional it is griefing, if not then educate him

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    it is not grief it is within roleplay

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    it is security's job not admin

    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.
    against rules. give warning and revive marine

    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?
    ooc: stop this mutiny or face consequences

    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.
    minor racist comments are not against rules

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    ban

    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 him. if intentional its griefing, if not educate

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    against rules, pm, tell to stop

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    tell xeno player that ahelped that it is not low roleplay

    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.
    find marine, tell him it is against rules and dont do again

    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.
    acceptable, again no one ahelped, also acceptable rp

    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'.
    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?
    cannot be done

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    tell the staff he gave wrong information

    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?
    they are arguing, i dont see myself adding to that as a good idea. person got banned, someone doesnt like it. in the end it is what happens with arbitrary rules. keep drama to minimum

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    i love this game, i am decent player, i can help cm team, also it was you who told me you needed people for my time of playing

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    righteousness. rules are rules. cant add to them cant remove them. it is your job to enforce rules not make them up.

    Anything else you
    goodluck with running cm

    This is a bad way of moderating. You have to be actively looking into things, even if they seem trivial at first. This is the core of what we do. This prevents people from ruining each other's rounds, and making sure things pump on along as intended. It might sound neckbeard of me to say this, but it's the core of what we do every day :V The best days are when we have to hear no ahelps.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Ask the side of the predator about what happened before making a decision
    No, remind them that they take WL issues to the forums. You're free to remind them of where HC is, but you don't make the decision over WLers like that. Their respective council does.

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    Let them walk a few more minutes, have their own freedom, if something really isnt right then i'll tell a mentor to contact him
    This is okay at best. But you should try and see if they're a new IP or not and then guide them over to a mentor or take it over yourself. New players need a good first impression, and a way of learning the controls.

    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.
    Agree to his request
    No, you took the ahelp, you deal with it. Don't let the players bully you into 'let me speak to your manager' mentality. They can deal with it via talking with your manager or staff report.

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    Contact the marine about Name rules
    It's an okay answer, but we like to see people describe the process more than this. But it's still pretty okay.

    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.
    Observe for few minutes, if continuing to break roleplay, contact him about it.
    We have new rules to leave things more for MPs to deal with rather than deal with it ourselves. Try to see if this is a round-by-round pattern, and if it is--then it's an issue. Then he's just being a shipside Squad Marine when he really shouldn't be.

    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?
    Tell the marine about the rules, survivor are allowed to kill him. end of rule end of story
    What? No. Survivors are not allowed to be openly hostile to marines unless they are a hostile faction (CLF) or given explicit event permission.

    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.
    clearly not according to marine law. enforce marine law.
    This answer is too vague to even pick apart. You need to expound more on your answers.

    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?
    this does not happen
    This is blatantly false. Cadehugging is a CM meme for a reason. You have to intervene sometimes, not always--but you might be awake at 5AM and the round has been going on for more than two hours. I remember this more when Ice Colony was around.

    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?
    contact him and ask him about it. if intentional it is griefing, if not then educate him
    You are not supposed to deal with it because you have a biased reason for why you shouldn't be taking action against them. Leave it to other staff members. When you have a conflict of interest like this, you should try your best to avoid touching it. Ahelp it yourself, get other staff on to help. There can be more than the first layer to every situation is why we do this.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    it is not grief it is within roleplay
    Correct. They are a hostile faction member.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    it is security's job not admin
    No, it can be going against our rules if they do this. Major roundstart shenanigans aren't allowed (but we do try to leave it to MPs first). However, in this case, this player is just being obnoxious for no reason but to mess with other player's round and would get a PM.

    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.
    against rules. give warning and revive marine
    Try to not rejuv each and every marine for IE infractions. I do this myself sometimes, but only when the circumstances can lead to someone being perma, or it was genuinely just over the top stupid (like someone nading themselves due to lag on the Almayer). Check escalation and then proceed with warning/ban.

    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?
    ooc: stop this mutiny or face consequences
    OOC is Out of Character, and you would've just informed the entire alien hive doing this. MOOC is the right avenue. There's more steps to this than else. We have new ways of helping mutinies along, and you should try to get other staff involved to assist you rather than just immediately move to MOOC.

    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.
    minor racist comments are not against rules
    True, but to a certain extent, we should clamp on it. When every other reference is just stereotypical racism, there's a problem.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    ban
    Expound on the answer more. There's more than just 'ban'. You look at their notes, look at the CKEY, check for multikeying, etc. These answers are just far too short.

    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 him. if intentional its griefing, if not educate
    This still results in a warning either way, and if someone was doing it intentionally, it is griefing, yes.

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    against rules, pm, tell to stop
    Yes, to a certain extent. I try myself not to ping every single alien in existence for breaking this rule once, only when it starts becoming obnoxiously repeated because it breaks the MRP atmosphere.

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    tell xeno player that ahelped that it is not low roleplay
    Correct. Tell them more about it though so they don't ahelp this in the future.

    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.
    find marine, tell him it is against rules and dont do again
    They shouldn't report aliens on the planet until actual contact, correct. Make sure the player in question has no prior notes on this too; but also remember that people make mistakes.

    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.
    acceptable, again no one ahelped, also acceptable rp
    Just because they don't ahelp doesn't make something a problem. But you are correct, this is an RP situation.

    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'.
    ban
    You have to PM them, informing them of this, and then you can hit them. But generally, you have to PM them to make them explain themselves. It's unacceptable for them to talk back staff like this because it's just childishly lame.

    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?
    cannot be done
    Correct, it's his fault. Though, you will want to explain it to him too. Ahealing kills larval infection.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    tell the staff he gave wrong information
    You can do this, you can also tell their manager too. Just try to avoid argument.

    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?
    they are arguing, i dont see myself adding to that as a good idea. person got banned, someone doesnt like it. in the end it is what happens with arbitrary rules. keep drama to minimum
    Don't argue with staff members, correct; but inform their managers aswell. Staff should not be arguing in MSAY or in general; we can have civil discussion about this stuff, and disagreements resolved by a rank above.

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    righteousness. rules are rules. cant add to them cant remove them. it is your job to enforce rules not make them up.
    Didn't you just call our rules arbitrary?


    I cannot support this application because it does not seem like you are familiar with our work whatsoever. I don't believe you would make it through the trial phase and will have to -1 this app.

    Yayay has said everything about the app that needs to be said, I believe you should take another month or two to get a better understanding of our rules just by playing the server and getting involved in the community before thinking of applying for mod again. -1

    I've read over the app, instead of making this sit for more feedback I'm going to be denying it. Re-read our rules and re-apply in 30 days and up the effort if you want to be inducted into a trial phase. Denied.
