[NescauComToddy]

Colonial Marines Character: Pedro 'Stuck' Heering

Age: Recently 16.

Gender: Male.

Timezone: UTC-03:00/ America-Sao Paulo

On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?

In average, 20+/25+ depending on my responsibilities and competencies.

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?

Sadly, I never had the chance to cooperate with other staff members directly In many cases, such as one RoK's server.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?

Contrary, I started to play the game between August and July.

What other servers do you play on?

Just CM.

What are the three biggest servers you play on besides CM?

I do not play In any other server, at the moment.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines before?

Not directly, a Mentor application.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?

Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?

Nope.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, where and When (roughly)?

Not of my knowledge, heh.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?

Negative, but I can use everything If It Is necessary for the job.

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 will assume you cannot follow directions and auto-decline your application.

1. A player is firing his weapon in the briefing area near the start of the round.

To start, I would check If It was a misfire and, If It hit another marine with no objective to warm, I would point out to him via PM the safety mode of each weapon and how he can enable It. Then, the situation will be dealt quickly by the MPs.

If the Player, desperately starts a rampage on the briefing room, I would IMMEDIATELY sleep him and start an investigation on the occurred. I would see by the logs If he just began to shoot, and Then, I would PM the player and wait for an answer while he Is being arrested. If he ignores It, I will check his notes and logins to see If he Is indeed a griefer or just a new-player. Apply 24-H punishment If griefing, 3-H If a Newbie. Explain ockly not to react and that the situation Is being dealt with. Note and link to the rules for both cases.

Will aheal anyone that was injured, unless the person lethally tried to intervene for absolutely no reason.

2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.

As any other staff, I will check to see If an Icky situation caused it. If so, I will not fix It. Example:

"A predator was captured and boomed the Sulaco, inflicting considerable damage and causing a breach to happen."

If a griefer caused the violation, I would fix It via verb, PM him and investigate the situation. Would apply a note and, Depending on the damage he caused, use a heavier punishment for him, Would be to 3 hours to 24 hours ban. As always, I would also check his notes to see If a warning should be made or the punishment should be heavier. Mostly, I will always give a warning before banning a player for a week.
If It were caused due to the Marines Destroying It, I would not fix the breach due to an Icky reason. Also, the breach effects will be they punishment, no action needed If that Is the case.

If the drop-ship or the drop-pod caused It, I would not Interfere either. I consider them Icky events, where the breach resulted from no intentional/griefing means.

3. The Marines want the nuke codes because they claim they are losing too many Marines. There are currently four aliens and 20 marines in your /who.

I would make a High-Command reply denying It, criticizing her-his(CDR) Incompetence and asking to send the combat-able crew down Immediately. If he refuses to do so, I would PM him, unless an admin pretends to have a "real-time" with them. In the end, I cannot do much without a Mother report, without having to be ocky, that Is something that I try to avoid most of the time.

4. A Sulaco researcher has made several napalm grenades and handed them out to Marines. One of the Marines throws the grenade into Logistics. There are no admins or other moderators online.

Pretty hard to throw a grenade Into logistics, even If you are a newbie. I will try not to be Ignorant or arrogant In such case. I would "Relax" him before anyone get's hurt, PM him, Investigate what happened, fix Logistics and heal the wounded, apply a 24-hour punishment, add a note and, In any "deeper" cases, a warning. I do not think any excuses will do here. If says he Is new to the game, I would check his login logs and confirm It, so I can make sure It was not griefing. If he Is lying, I will not change the ban If possible, unless It involved more people In It, which Is something my moral doesn't accept.

I would also PM the researcher, advising him to be more careful In giving powerful nades' to random marines that may ask him. Will advise him to give It to an SL or Spec In the next time unless the name of the marine Is familiar to her.

5. A player is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.

Ignore him. If he continues, over and over, mute. Note for toxic manners.

6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.

Simple. Advise him via PM to change the name In the next round. If the name Is a meme name or something that can be easily noticed, I would ask an admin to give It a small change. Note.

6a. The marine is arguing that: They have used the name for several years, no one has told them to change it before, and that they did not know it was a rule.

Advise him that IGNORANCE IS NOT An EXCUSE, If they do not alter, I shall detail the lil' note that I gave to the boy. If he still didn't replace It, I would become the "badmin" and give the player a warning, If he STILL didn't change his name, 1 Hour ban. Note(Rules link).

7. You see a Sulaco Doctor with an M41A rifle strapped to his back running around the briefing area. There are wounded in the med bay, and the other doctor is in surgery.

Ask him kindly why Is he carrying a weapon larger than a Pistol If there aren't any apparent threats on the ship. I would advise him that there Is Wounded In med bay that needs him there to help them. If he Is a gentleman and, immediately goes to medbay and start to treat the wounded, Pin-note and advice not to repeat the same action/mistake. I would only give a J-B If he declined my order and authority, giving a warning for a possible chance of retreating before I take a heavier action. Link rules.

8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.

Inform him that It is not an excuse to perform a surgery as Squad-Medic and to stop with It. Tell him to put the patience inside a cryo bag and transport him back to the Sulaco immediately. Pin-note and Link to the rules. If the player already has original notes for meta-gamming, I would have a brief talk with him, explaining the punishments he can obtain by doing It, while saying why he should not do It at the same time.

9. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and four aliens. The Marines will not leave the Sulaco, and the aliens will not attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?

I would send a PM to the commander, alerting him to send the Marines down ASAP, as the Marines go down, I would inform the Queen to take a last stand position and prepare to defend the fragments of her hive that remain intact In the colony. Incentive an admin to make a mother scan If there Is any online to make the Marines feel more comfortable In stressful moments.
If possible, I would act Icky before taking action, for fun purposes.

10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.

EORG 3 Hour ban. No questions asked.

11. A Marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other Marines.

Do nothing. Marines mess with each other by nature. Only take action If he still doing It after the start of the round, ruining the RP after some time of acting as a prankster to others which I can't let It slide out of my hands.

12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why he said it was because the other marine had punched him.

By what the proposal suggests, the first Marine was murdered because of a punch. No excuses. Check notes, Pin-note/Warning If the player has a history of strange and rule-breaking acts. Aheal the dead Player and move to the next case, also, A 24-hour/7 day ban for griefing depending on the "level" the Incident has and player history. After, I do discuss with the staff what procedure should we take upon the player, analyzing his note history and manners, so we can decide If we should give him a last chance.
In my point-of-view, there Is no need to take the investigation to the injured player, only asking him pardon for what happened. In any cases, bring the logs to a possible appeal or for a perma-ban indication.

Any additional information you would like to add?

Well, you might want to ask me why I am interested In the job.

Simple.

CM Is one of the BEST games I ever played In a long time, maybe because I do not have A life, dunno. I look forward Improving and defending the salty community I met In the last year more directly than indirectly. I Look even more forward to work with the staff and at the same time, know you all better, "socializing" at the free moments and" friending" with you all. I think that my play-style can be incorporated In helping the server, and that Is why I am applying right now. If you have any problems with me or problems with the app, please let me know! I will try to reply as quickly as possible! If I do not get the chance now, I will try later on again, Improving my manners as always. About confidence, I think I have much of It already, so I personally think I am pretty ready to the job If you ask me.

Also, there are essential details I did not put here for them just being necessary. Some may be missing the pin-note or an investigation, yet, I will check It profoundly ALWAYS, applying the punishment ALWAYS too, just got to learn It and that will come with experience! Also, sorry for the passive voices, I got attached to It. Planning to change It ASAP. Over my grammar, I am working In a way to counter It, learning will be one of them, but for now, I might try a app to give me a hand.

Peace, everyone.

EDIT: After some time thinking about my app, I have seen that the details were not impressive In any form, including my grammatical mistakes. So, I decided to put more information over It now that I found out more mod mechanics. Doing this so the app can look a bit more professional and, for the reader to know who I am. If you have anything against It, just send me out a PM.

1. A player is firing his weapon in the briefing area near the start of the round.

This one was a bit dragged,but really good

2. The Sulaco has a breach to space.

Again,Ok but too dragged

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.

We lost mother reports,and we cant make scans,a SM (Subtle Messeage) to the Acting CO on this case would suffice,this one is ok

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.

This one is good

5. A played is starting to talk about the things he did with your mom last night over Ahelp.

Perfect

6. You notice a marine with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules.

Good

6a. The marine is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, no one has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.

If he still resist,maybe just a 60 min ban with a link to the rules,but good

7. You see a Sulaco Doctor with an M41A rifle strapped to his back running around the briefing area. There are wounded in the med bay, and the other doctor is in surgery.

Even if he goes back,note,but good

8. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.

Nice

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?

Again,we cant scan and or make MOTHER reports,SM'ing the Acting CO would be enough,BUT that spawning yourself part is more fitted for admins,not mods

10. The round ends, and a marine starts unloading his weapons on other marines.

Perfect

11. A marine who has recently awoken is using soap to slip other marines.

Good

12. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why he said it was because the other marine had punched him.

And reviving the marine that got shoot

Kind of just there,some bans are short and such

Edit:

Neutral

Vega covered the essentials, except #9. If the slipping continues into briefing or req, then it becomes a problem where we need to tell them to knock it off.

My issue withstanding is this: I have nothing against non-native English speaking staff members. However, if English is not your first language, your control of the language will need to be impeccable in order to staff. Vega is an example of this in which he is South American with an impeccable command of the English language. Your English seems to be choppy to me. As a staff member, we have to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with our, mainly English speaking, playerbase.

Due to this, I'm going to have to say -1

[NescauComToddy]

Hey there, Firstly, thanks for the feedback, both of you.

1 and 2: Yeah, I dragged them a bit so misunderstandings would not happen, thanks!

3: Sorry! I honestly didn't Remember It was not allowed to create Mother reports as moderator, yet, SM/PM will do the work for now on! Appreciate It!

6: Heh, If I knew there was a 60-Min ban I would put It here, thanks for the new info!

7: That was my mistake right there, Apologies. If I am accepted, I will remember It.

9: I am trying to give a type of "joke" In the admiral's part, saying It was not necessary! As I said before, thank you for citing the SM, I will take It with me with care!

12: Of course, heh! Thank you again for advising me!

:SLC

Completely understood. I Should say thanks for pointing that out, In this case, I could work out my grammar always! Thanks for the feedback, and there Is no need to say you have nothing against non-native speakers, eh!

[Swagile]

If your the same person that plays Pedro, then id like to say something about your english.

Your english is okay But you keep Speaking like This a lot of The time.

I don't know why you do this, but that is not how you properly speak english at all and some players might find it annoying trying to talk to you via admin helps and/or detract from the image of the admin team as a whole.

Hence, I am neutral.

About that mistake, I think I already fixed It due to attracting Feweh's attention before! Also, It is not how you properly speak all languages, primarily, heh. Thanks for the reply!

[Feweh]

I'm going to accept this under the circumstance that you work towards improving your english, before messaging people I expect you to proof read your responses.
We do have a lot of south-Americans play that I feel could benefit from someone who speaks their language.
