    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    This is appropriate IC handling of the issue. I would warn them about escalation rules and answer any questions regarding sentence/procedure as needed.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Check if there is any immediate concern per server rulebreaks, then direct the player to the report forum or predator councilor.

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    I would welcome the player to the server! If there is a SEA online, I'd let them know the player needed help, if not, I'd walk them through getting dressed/gear, make sure they have the wiki link and know how to ask questions or get help from mentors if they get stuck.

    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.
    I ignore the name calling and provide instructions on how to contact the Admin+ staff.

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    I'd thank the player for the heads up and contact the John Doe player and let them know the CM rules on character names, and that they'll need to rename their marine.

    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.
    Be disappointed, but not surprised. Unless they are actively griefing, this is an IC issue though.

    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 survivor that outside of admin events hostile survivors aren't allowed anymore, make sure the dead marine is able to return back into the game safely.

    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.
    Ask them the name of the arresting mp then check with them to see what the sentences were given and why did they end up in perma. If the MP made a mistake they need to be informed and possibly noted and ideally this should be resolved in an IC way via an appeal. If no mistake was made, explain the sentencing to the player that ahelped it.

    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 could try sending a marine side something along the line of a message from WY that costs put into them are not producing expected results, adjusted to whichever side I'm sending this to based on context of the round.

    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?
    Confront them ICly, and report them to the MPs as well as ahelp it since it breaking the rules.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    Tell them that the end of round grief rule regulates friendly fire, not fighting hostiles.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    Step in to stop them, then talk to them to find out if this was someone new, or someone who was griefing, apply punishment of the latter

    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.
    Step in to stop them, then talk to them to find out if this was someone new, or someone who was griefing, apply punishment of the latter

    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?
    Remind the mutineers that there are procedures to a mutiny and they need to stop and either dissipate or follow the right way and make the case for their mutiny.

    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.
    Tell the marines to drop the racist jokes, that its not cool even if its IC. Check notes to make sure this isn't a pattern and let them move on if no bans are necessary.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    Ban CKey for griefing, heal the victims

    You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die.
    I would message the player and explain to them action is griefing/against the rules, note/punish them accordingly.

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    Tell them that's not allowed, refer them to the hive RP standards. Note/punish accordingly.

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    Explain to them why that is not against the rules how the hivemind is supposed to work.

    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.
    Send them a quick note to remind them they don't know its xenos until they land to let them correct themselves.

    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.
    Going to the extremes to save your life during hijack is acceptable. If the marine was indeed acting to save their life, I can sympathize with the player that died if they ahelped it, but there isn't anything I can do.

    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'.
    I send them a note telling them what the complaint process for the staff is, but if they continue then I ban them.

    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 would sympathize with them for their situation, but explain the round does not stop if the go SSD and hostile forces do not have to check for that.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    Politely tell them that I think they made an error and reference the correct information with a link.

    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?
    Not get involved. If I noticed anything that's a misapplication of the rules, I'd screenshot it and send it to the dept heads for review.

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    I'm polite, pleasant and I play a lot, and I think I can help the server. Ultimately, I'd like to do events as well.

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    Empathy.

    Anything else you
    I think I would make a great mod because I'm polite and patient, thanks for considering my application.
