On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
Not sure how many hours I do as mentor, but I think it's about 50 hours probably more.

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
I am a mentor on Colonial Marines. I was also a mentor on Hippie Station, but that's before I became mature and was really bad at ahelps and for some reason lied about my age.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
I played on the pre-alpha

What other servers do you play on?
I used to play on Hippie Station and Aurora Station, but now I just play Colonial Marines.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM?
Nothing, but used to be Hippie Station, Auroura Station, and a little bit on Yogstation.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before?
I have two pred apps here: viewtopic.php?t=6554 and viewtopic.php?f=127&t=11016 I rushed these and they weren't good at all.
I have one job appeal app here: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=9825 This was for my XO job ban and it was lifted.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
Besides being a mentor here then no.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
I was job-banned from XO. I had a ban for not listening to the Queen.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, where and When (roughly)?
Not that i'm aware of.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?
Yes, I use it to mentor.

Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each situation (BELOW) the situation. If you start it on the same line, I'll assume you can't follow directions and auto-decline your application.



1. A player is firing his weapon in the briefing area near the start of the round.
I would ahelp him and ask if it was on purpose or just a misclick. If it was a misclick then let him go. If he did it on purpose I would ask why, then ahelp the people that it affected. I would then check the logs and see if there was a problem between them earlier and to see if it was escalated properly. If it was a problem that escalated properly, then I would give warnings to both of them and let them continue it in character. If there was no issue earlier, then I would check the offender's notes to see if he's had any history of it. If he didn't then and it was minor I would give him a warning. If it was major then I would give him a 3 hour ban. If he did have a history of it then I would give him a 3-4 hour ban depending how serious it was. Add notes



2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.
Check to see how the breach was made. If it was from the rasp, pod, or pred explosion then I would leave it. If it was a breach by a marine or alien I would check to see who it was. Once I found out who it was, I would ahelp them to see if they did it on purpose. If they didn't do it on purpose, I would check there notes to see if they had a history of it. If not then i'd let them go with a warning and add it to their notes. If they do have a history of it, I would inform them and give them a 10 minute ban. If they did it on purpose then I would check their notes for a history. If they have no history then I would give them a 10 minute ban. If they do have a history then i'd bump it up to a 30 minute ban. I would also see how much damage there is before to determine if it was on purpose. Add notes



3. The marines want the nuke codes because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who.
I couldn't do anything. However, if moderators get M.O.T.H.E.R. back then I would say "There are 4 unknown signals remaining and USMC wants you to finish the mission immediately."



4. A Sulaco researcher has made several napalm grenades and hands them out to marines. One of the marines throws the grenade into Logistics. There are no admins or other moderators online.
I would repair the damage in logistics and ahelp the marine and ask why he did it. If it was serious and harmed people then I would give the marine a 3 hour ban. If it wasn't that serious then I would give him a 30 minute ban. I would then ahelp the researcher that gave him the grenade and inform him what happened. I would tell him that if a researcher gives a marine a grenade, and it is thrown in the Sulaco then he is responsible too. I would give the researcher the same ban that I gave the marine. Add notes.



5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.
I would ask him to stop, but if he doesn't then I would mute his ahelps and add a note.



6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.
I would inform him about our rule on names and ask him to change it next round. Add notes


6a. The marine is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, noone has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
I would tell him it has always been a rule, and ask him that if he doesn't know the rules to please read them. If he keeps arguing after that then I would give him a 30 minute ban so he has time to read the rules. Add notes.



7. You see a Sulaco Doctor with an M41A rifle strapped to his back running around the briefing area. There are wounded in medbay, and the other doctor is in surgery.
I would remind him that doctors shouldn't have a weapon. I would then ask them to drop the weapon and return to medbay. If he doesn't return then I would give him a doctor job ban. Add notes.



8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
I would remind the medic that they aren't allowed to do surgery even if doctors aren't in the FOB. I would ask him to close the incision and have him go up on the Sulaco. If he complains more then I would give him a medic job ban. I would then ask another medic or bystander to close the incision and take him up to the Sulaco. Add notes.



9. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the Sulaco, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
If moderators get M.O.T.H.E.R. privileges again then I would say, "There are 4 unknown and 30 known signals remaining. USMC wants the mission ended immediately." I would send a fax to the commander telling them to finish the mission immediately, if i don't have M.O.T.H.E.R.



10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.
EORG. I would ahelp him and inform him that he will be banned for 3 hours. Add notes.



11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.
I wouldn't do anything, but I would watch to make sure it doesn't become anything bigger. If it does and rules are broken then I would handle it according to what rule was broken.



12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
I would inform him about escalation and that isn't a reason to kill someone. I would then ask the person that was killed why he punched the rule breaker, then I would give the puncher a warning. I would then go back and check the shooter's notes to see if there is a history of this. If there is no history then I would give a 2 hour ban. If there is a history then I would move it to 5 hours. If there are lots of notes about killing and greifing then I would give a 7 day ban, and make a permanent ban request. Add notes.




Any additional information you'd like to add?
I know this might get auto denied because the age limit, but I made this because there are times when i'm on but there aren't any mods or mins. I also think that I have proven that I am mature enough to become a mod. Atleast I think that's the reason you have an age limit. If it's not and me not being of age is a problem then that's alright I just ask to be told why it would be a problem. Other than that thanks for reading my application and I will be willing to change my methods accordingly.

Sorry Fine but you have to be 16+ to be a mod.

Just try to look past that part. Anything wrong with the situations or anything?

Your answers are ok but all of these ban times you stated are just too short. Also, with the ERG it's just a plain and automatic 3 hour ban

[Finefire984]

How much longer would i need to make my bans? I looked at other apps and there were problems with being too long, so I just made bans that would be reasonable enough to try and get the point across.

[Finefire984]

Also for the heads, if the age is too big of a problem then I wouldn't care if it was denied because of that.

[Scrat505]

Sadly the age limit is a pretty solid rule.

[slc97]

Age rule, Finefire. I think you'd make a good mod, but the age rule stands.

[Finefire984]

Oh well, if i can't be accepted cause of it than i'll make a new one when i'm 16.
