Discord name (username####): Johnny Fanta#0979

Character Name(s): Frank J. Bowman - Current name, though the last name was previously Gelatt.

Do you understand the RoE? Yes, I do.

Do you understand that you are not above the law, and may be persecuted for not following the RoE? Yes, I do.

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? Yes, I do.

What do you think your job is as the role you are applying for? Commanding Officer, I'll have control over the UNSC forces and their assets. I'll be in control of the ship and it's crew, so my job will be to work out effective strategies that'd allow us to successfully complete the mission.

Why should you be whitelisted? Because I know what I'm going to be doing, I've played XO more than once and I've done quite well, going as far as to make sure I actually keep the mission going without losing all of my shipyards. Securing both the artifact and at the same time taking down the covenant shipyard. Being a covenant player/diplomat before applying for the UNSC, I mained command 99% of the time, playing either Ultra or Major. As acting shipmaster I've had more than one victory, which is one of the reasons why I applied for shipmaster, though I felt too bored with my faction so I switched to the UNSC. I'll be a good CO, I know how to roleplay, I know how to lead.

Who were you banned by: thegreytide

Date of ban: 2019-07-22

Length of ban: Permanent

Full ban reason: (MANUAL BAN) spam + history

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: 

So it's already been 4 months, and seeing that the server is up and running again, I've really wanted to start playing again. The reason I got banned was for spamming an AFK admin because I wanted to ask something. (I can't really remember the question anymore) The first appeal I made was going to be accepted, but it got denied because I annoyed thegreytide on another server because I thought that he was taking too long. I was a moderator there and I PM'd and kept bugging him about it. But now the server is kinda dead and I lost my moderator role because it was just kinda handed to me. I know what I did was wrong, but at that time I didn't really think of the consequences because I was tired. And I only Ahelp spammed him in Halostation because I was really bored and it was just the two of us there from what I can recall. I have already apologized to him in Discord but he hasn't really replied so I am not sure if he saw it. I greatly regret what I have done and promise to not do it again. And I got banned from discord for some reason.

Discord name: Johnny Fanta#0979

In-character name: Frank J. Bowman 

general character info: A simple man plucked from the masses, he was initially a commercial pilot, becoming a conscript out of necessity. The UNSC weren't short on pelican pilots, no, but after the unceremonious arrival of the Covenant, who mercilessly attacked small farming colonies in the outer rim of the known galaxy, every man had a spot within the ranks of the UNSC. Frank isn't special whatsoever, he's just a bit of an unwashed bum that flies good.

Which role is your character's main(ex: Technician, Marine, etc): Usually either a Pelican Pilot or an XO. I enjoy maining the XO role, mainly because so far I've been really good at it.

Reason for joining : It's time for me to play as UNSC, I've played both URF and Covenant and I want to try out this one too. 

Only currently whitelisted ODSTs may apply for Spartan.

How long have you been a Whitelisted ODST?:
When did I become a donor? Gotta be at least a couple of months. You did see me at the ODST Council after all.


Have you ever been banned here, or on other servers?:
Never, no other bans.


Do you understand and agree to follow the rules linked above, as well as the Faction Rules of the UNSC and the Server Rules?
I do, thou shall not commit rule breaking acts. If we don't follow the rules, we are no more than animals.


Do you understand that whitelisted Spartans are expected to comment on and observe the conduct of other Spartans and Spartan Applicants, on the forums as well as discord? Yes of course, without feedback and oversight. How could the Spartan Program grow into something better?


Name of the Spartan you want to play (Name-000. Try and avoid commonly known numbers like -117.):
Aaron-155

Explain what you would do in the following scenarios and why:


Scenario 1:

You’re on the ONI Aegis and the ONI RD requests a Sierra team to deploy to VT9, as the covenant have been spotted and are attacking. They have not breached the gate and it is unclear as to the size of their forces. What do you do?
Re-access the situation, deployment of a Spartan team is a gross miss allocation of resources in this situation. Even if the RD is requesting Spartan assistance, there is no probable cause for deployment. The UNSC Marines have yet to be called down to assist, nor has the ONI base been breached and the RD be put in a directly dangerous situation. Await standby until you hear either the local Marine force was eliminated, or an override from High Command clears you for deployment.

Scenario 2:

You’re on the ONI Aegis and receive an urgent request from a Platoon Leader to deploy onto the UNSC Warship as the Insurrectionists have deployed a sizeable force and are taking control of the ship, and arming the nuclear device as they request assistance. What do you do?
Confirm orders with High Command. If the Platoon Leader is the highest ranking acting commander present. Then deployment may be approved, as Spartans may be deployed by RD, AND acting Commanders. UNSC assets are being stolen and destroyed, the Marine's defense lines have failed. Last resort is to send Spartans in to reclaim the ship.

Scenario 3:

You’ve been deployed on a mission to give the covenant back their bomb. You manage to arm the bomb, but your fellow spartan has been cut down and his body is being dragged away by the Covenant towards an escape pod. What do you do?

Priority one, Covenant cannot capture UNSC Technology. Spartan Armor is classified tier one. This means if it is a position where it is at risk of capture. Asset destruction takes priority. Even at the risk of the nuke detonating and catching you in the explosion. Retrieval and disposal via the self destruct built into the armor is required. Under no circumstances is the Covenant allowed to take off with the Spartan casualty.

In-character name: Jeff Bezos

General Character Info: Jeff Bezos is a 21 year old male from the planet of Asphodel, located in the Outer Colonies. Some of his favorite activities are fishing and grilling, as well as farming. You could say he's a bit of a botanist.

Reason for Joining : The UEG is taxing the hell out of the colonies and he just wants to fish. That and he shot some marines dead when they tried to collect his taxes so now he's marked and the only safe place to go is to the URF so that one day he can return to his farm and go fishing.

Discord Name: Hero #8418

Character(s): Faith Erals

How does your character interact with the world around them and the people in it?: She's here to take the fight back to the UNSC and the UEG, by any means necessary. Civilians are of little concern to her, As long as they don't take hostile actions towards her fellow members. Faith values the life of her fellow URF/SoE brothers and sisters above all else. She will always try to use diplomacy first in most encounters to try to gain a edge on her enemies, if no hostile actions were taken by any parties beforehand. 

Provide a brief description of your character: Long white hair, dyed shortly after joining the URF. Standing at 5"4 Faith is rather small. She talks little of her past life, before the URF. But whatever happened, she's still hurt by the memories of it.

Do you understand that members of this whitelist are held to a higher standard of roleplay?: Yes, as it should be.

Do you understand that if your behavior is deemed inappropriate you will be removed from the whitelist?: Yes

Do you understand that breaking a server rule can remove you from this whitelist permanently?: Yes

Discord name: 9R#3507

In-character name: Joobrah'eel Al-Hassan

general character info: Hassan, at an early age, never liked authority. He was a good child and was smart in most capacities but none of that matters because he could not conform to society and what they wanted from him. Hassan's most hated authority figure was the UNSC and the UEG as a whole. After taxes get blasted through the roof and the mistreating of the colonies he knew that the UEG was an inefficient beast that, in his mind, only existed to slow down human progress. Hassan is ready to take up arms with his brothers and bring down the Government that has done him and his kind dirty for too long.

Reason for joining : The URF is the only organized group that is actively fighting the UEG and having allies and resources will speed up the process of killing those UNSC dogs. The UEG is destined to fall and the URF will spit and dance on their grave.

Alright, so this thread is just about confirming if the sort of constant lag spikes happens to everyone. At times it doesnt or barely happen at all, at other times its every few seconds.

To describe it better, its like the screen freezes, but you can still do inputs i think because you can end up in other tiles than the position you froze in.

Many responses would be nice since more confirmation is always better, which may sound egotistic or something, but it doesnt take any more than a yes. Furthermore i am sure other people are wondering this too (if it really does happen to everyone that is).

P.S Not a complaint or call to action against it or anything like that as i assume if its serverwide you(Devs and stuff i dunno) already know about it and may already be working on it/too hard to fix.
