Prior Moderation experience: Trialmin on Bay briefly, life situation made completion impossible. Paladin on Drymouth currently, some coding, spriting and mapping experience.
Personally, I think the most important thing about moderating is: This is a game. People play this to have fun. It's important to remember this, as any staff position has the power to make or break a round or server for somebody. A moderator should enforce the rules and resolve issues in a just manner, clear of personal bias.Â
Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned:Â
It was my first time on the server and I had no idea that the nuke would be armed just by clicking it. Plus I tried to disarm it and it wouldn't work.
I mainly play as an Assault Recon Marine (Lacie Summers) but I also play as Bridge Crew (Alyssa Owens). My AR Marine is a young, bright eyed soldier from the Outer Colonies that believes in the ideals of the UEG, freedom, democracy, and human rights. She joined the UNSC to protect people and make the colonies a better place. She aspires to become an ODST.
Reason for joining :
I've always loved Halo, I discovered this server fairly recently. I have played Space Station 13 for several years on heavy RP servers like Aurora, and action servers like CM. I love this server and this community, and I really want to play as an ODST!
general character info: I don't really have a character backstory per se, I just know what I can't and can't do.
Which role is your character's main(ex: Technician, Marine, etc): Mainly Ship Crew. But I really don't like the role since most marines end up firing the weapons anyways. Been trying ONI and normal Marine lately and I've kinda liked it.
Reason for joining : The real reason for joining is the endgame. I want to be able to play Spartan (demonsssss) or the ODST (I.nmediate M.urder P.roffesionals), and this is the gateway to it. That's about it. I can roleplay properly and can make up a character, I've just not bothered with the human one since they're disposable for that round, so I don't have much thoght into it.
Previous bans on this server or others: No bans on HALO station but I am currently serving a permanent ban on BayStation and Aurora Station.
Reason why you want to be a representative: Well, I believe the community does require a voice, and I am willing to listen to people to be that voice. The community needs a rep, and I have plenty of time to fill those shoes. I do work a full time job, but I am allowed my phone, which has discord on it, so I can respond to messages and concerns from players at any time during the day. I do enjoy HALO station, being all the way back from 2012, and I have a strong desire to keep the community happy and willing to play the game. I can understand how frustrating it is to be screaming into a void, and I want to prevent that by being a part of the team.
I will provide an example situation, I want you to tell me how you will handle it. Please be honest with this as your performance will be reviewed compared to this example.
Example: The Covenant was given a massive buff for balance, raising shield strength. However the UNSC is raising pitchforks because now their ship is being blown to bits more often. The URF has decided to jump on this as well. UNSC and URF players are now messaging you to bring this up to the staff.
What do you say?: Well, first I would ask any suggestions to fix it from the URF and UNSC side, and go to the covenant side to ask them their thoughts, and if they have their own balances in mind. I would write up a brief note on people's suggestions, what they want fixed, and all that, and present it to the developers and team. I would present my case for both sides, taking feedback, and listening to everybody in what they have to say. I also would try and get a first person perspective on the issue by playing myself, so I can personally experience what is happening and provide my own experience in a fair manner. This probably means playing more as covenant AND as UNSC/URF, but I think I am willing to split my time between the factions so every group has some sort of fair representation.
general character info: Sypo is a relatively young and naive elite ranger, specializing in scouting and reconnaissance. She is a staunch believer in the Great Journey. She has her doubts, but she would never think to utter them, she has devoted her life to the Great Journey and would do nothing to tarnish her honor now. She has put to much at stake to betray the Covenant now. As per tradition, she joined the Covenant Military. Her observational skills lead to her being noticed as being a quite capable ranger. And thus, here she is...
Reason for joining : Scrolling through the server list, saw it, joined. Had a hell of a lot of fun and pop in from time to time when I get bored of my usual extended server.
Roleplay Example/History: Veteran of TG. Moved to another TG esk server I would rather not name, then to that servers extended HRP server.
More depth with factions details IE: Mainly shooting for a Ranger/Spec ops Recon soldier.
Character Name(s): Mehal 'Zedulmee, Plabap, Kendrick Larson
How long have you been a member of the Covenant Faction? A month, but i've been playing the server for a little longer than that, since September, I believe.
What are some examples of good Covenant Roleplay that you have been a part of? I had ordered the A.I. to be planted on the UNSC ODP to assist in our capture of it, I gave the order to destroy the base, but my men had forgot to grab the A.I. We had already destroyed the Light Brigade, had the nav-chip, and the artifact, but I was not intent on having the A.I. i had been working with be destroyed do to incompetence, so rather than allow that, I sprung out of my chair, ran down the hallway to the umbilical, and with mere moments until detonation, carded the A.I. and quickly crossed over the umbilical as the ODP was being engulfed in flame behind me.
Do you understand the Faction Rules? I've read through them a few times, so, yes.
Do you understand that you are not above the Covenant law, and may be persecuted for not following the Faction Rules? Affirmative.
Do you understand that you can be removed from the whitelist at any given time, based on your behavior, even when not playing the role you applied for? Certainly, understandable.
What do you think your job is as the role you are applying for? A Sangheilli Shipmaster is the definitive leader in the Sangheilli hierarchy, and in being that, they need to be stalwart to their command and unwavering in The Great Journey, and their commitment to their crew, they also need to be flexible, and have an understanding of heretical tech and tactics, as well as their language. They command their ships with an iron-will and a understanding that failure is death. In being a Shipmaster, you must be prepared to essentially lead the entire faction on a round-by-round basis, monitoring missions, listening to comms, giving orders, preventing heresy, punishing heresy, enforcing covenant law, acting on covenant law, being prepared against boarding, preventing A.I. destruction or theft, preventing ship destruction or theft, piloting the ship, and inevitably finding the artifact, or dying for it.
Why should you be whitelisted? To start, i'm an active member of the community who plays most days of the week, but mostly as Sangheilli Ultra, so I figure if all I ever do is command, but as Ultra, why not just get Shipmaster whitelisted so I can do the same thing, but actually as a Shipmaster, and not an Ultra. Secondly, I have contributed sprite work for the drone, and plan on making more sprites. (Regarding the sprite work, mentioning it is a sort of aside, really meant more to show that I like this server and intend on playing on it for the foreseeable future.) And lastly, there are simply very few rounds that anyone plays as Shipmaster, so I suppose why not have another person be whitelisted?
Reason why you want to be a representative:Â
We don't have any, nobody else wants to be one and I'd rather issues be presented with civility instead of people screaming for nerfs in Discord. I believe there shouldn't be animosity between players of other factions, and a fun and interesting server with three healthy factions beats constantly requesting for buffs for the one myself is in.
I will provide an example situation, I want you to tell me how you will handle it. Please be honest with this as your performance will be reviewed compared to this example.

What do you say?:
The first thing I'd do before saying anything is gather more information. I would ask in every faction chat of their opinions of the changes and any effects of note they have to tell me. Once that's all said and done, I'd present the information gathered and the opinions of those who weighed in, primarily from those with factions affected by this. If asked, I may provide potential solutions that involve things such as increasing the LB hull strength or their own weapons over simply nerfing the cruiser back to its previous state (unless that's actually the solution.) Regardless of the outcome, my goal would be to present community opinions and come to a solution that satisfies all involved parties.
Previous bans on this server or others: halo station 1x boderline NSFW and a disupute between me and james wich got cleard
Reason why you want to be a representative: Â i tought why not try, and i kinda wanna bring all fraction closer so taht we dont go onto each other throats all the time if stuff changes or etc

What do you say?: first ask devs to chek code if there is not a bug wich may causes the UNSC to lose often. if taht is not the case ask the UNSC to screen shoot the rounds and events of said buffs same goes for URF. then ask to coveants on therye side of the story to doucment it. then have the FLs of all fractions take feed back form the players and then have a meet up in VC with all FL and coders to disucss how we may fix/balance or make it so taht the other fractions are happy as an expamle : covis get powerfull laser we could balance taht with UNSC get more amor for taht then or an evade chance increased or the laser needs a long cool down timer
the important thing is taht we WORK toghter to fix a unblance on the server and NOT work against each other
If i do get the senator role i will TRY to be unbiasd in case im not please tell me taht cuse i wanna try taht our space terroirts=URF the humanity hating alien=covis and the crayon eaters= UNSC
taht they all get the same treatment
and i appolgzie for my bad writing, if taht has given you an headheach im sorry
