Character Name(s):

Lou ‘Leatherback’ Norton

Why do you want to become a Mentor?:

The main reason i want to become a mentor is because i believe there is a lack of Mentors for Low pop, I feel that due to this lack of mentors for the time of around 9AM GMT to 12PM GMT a lot of new players will lack understanding of the games mechanics.

What gameplay areas do you know and which areas are you strong and weak in?:

Good: ML, Command, Engineering,

Known:Medical, Research, Xeno, Req

Weak:OT and Jtac(Spotting i know, it’s actually using the mortar and CAS i don’t.)

How often are to able to play CM?:

Monday from 12PM GMT, Thursday, Saturday-Sunday, from around 9AM GMT.

Anything else you’d like to add?:

If this gets denied please inform me of what i can improve next time.

Hi, mostly had positive interactions with the player. Good Command Knowledge and saw him being a real support on engineering.
I am only concerned on ML knowledge since a recent game so i’ll ask you a couple of questions regarding ML:

  1. A Doctor order the MPs to arrest an MT for disturbing him while healing someone(It’s later discovered that he just passed through the same tile and it happened once). What is the correct procedure here? Is it a legal order?
  2. Captain order the CMP to detain a marine during briefing just to “scare them”. What is the correct procedure here? Is it a legal order?
  3. CO and XO are in CIC, when the XO order the arrest of an MP for not wearing gloves. What is the correct procedure here? Is it a legal order?

  1. The doctor is likely pressing charges of Trespassing and Disorderly Conduct, Once MP’s have arrested the MT so they can search for evidence(as it is an officer requested arrest where the MT may have committed a crime), and likely find out that he just accidentally knocked the Doctor, the Disorderly charge will likely be dropped (due to the fact it requires INTENTIONALLY disrupting the doctor, which it wasn’t) However the Trespassing charge will likely stick due to the fact that (i assume) he was interrupting them in an operations room, which you aren’t supposed to be in unless your a patient or healer, Therefore it’s a legal order as the MT has committed one of the crimes they are accused of.

  2. The Captain(XO) is likely New and has misread ML and assumes that he, like CO, Can just have a marine arrested and then free them at a later time (Discretionary arrest) however marines can not just be detained without charge, I’d advise the XO to instead issue an NJP as the marine was likely committing hooliganism if the XO just wanted to scare them, however if the marine was repeatedly disrupting briefing then i’d advise him to charge the marine with disorderly conduct. Therefore it is an illegal order as the marine has not committed a crime the XO wants him charged with, and XO could be arrested for Prevarication.

  3. As the CO is awake, this means that XO is not the Commander, and therefore can not order arrests, however even if there wasn’t a CO, MP’s are not required by SOP to wear gloves, as SOP states: MPs should be wearing their uniform, boots, and armor at a minimum. This means that the Order is illegal, and therefore the MP’s could charge XO with prevarication. This also makes it an Illegal order.

+1, I’ve seen Lou many times, and they’ve always seemed to be very knowledgeable and reasonable.

MP and chief MP main, -1
joking, more mentors with a knowledge this wide of marine law would be good, especially since as SEA you’re in an advisory role for marine law- just keep in mind, MP’s still have seniority over you. overall playtimes look fine too in my opinion
i don’t see any reason to not bring you on board, so i’ll drop my +1

Interacted with Lou ‘Leatherback’ Norton plenty of times while playing command, they were almost always playing a military police or engineering role which requires good rule understanding and mechanical knowledge. They roleplay perfectly fine and they clearly have plenty of hours to be a server mentor. I’ll drop some potential mentor help questions for you because why not.

  • Good morning! This is my first round as a Mess Technician and I have accidentally burned some food I was trying to make. My microwave is now dirty and I am unable to use it, can I fix this?

  • just rolled as a xeno for the first time and it’s very hard to see things how do i pick up this flashlight I found

  • I am a medic and I’m trying to remove shrapnel from this marine but I keep attacking him instead, I donno what to do.

  • Heya this is my first round as a Dropship Crew Chief and I woke up late, do I have a vendor?

  • where the hell is the astronavigation apc???

  • I’m trying to repair this plastasteel cade but it’s telling me it’s too broken or something? What should I do?

  1. To clean the microwave you need to use space cleaner, Medbay likely has some and (if i recall correctly) some spawns in the serving room next to kitchen.

  2. Xenos can not pick up items except for resin fruit, however they are able to see in the dark, to change vision modes you have to press second highest Icon on the right side of your screen

  3. You’re likely on harm or disarm intent, check your intent by looking bottom right of the screen with your character on, to the left of the human on the bottom right is four boxes, click the one that is furthest north west to change to help intent and then try.

  4. DCC has a vendor next to cyro cells and SEA’s office, it’s at the far east side of the ship, after req(Green) but before Firing range(red), it’s near the very top, next to bravo prep.

  5. Astronavigation APC is located in Astronavigational deck, which is located at the far west side of the ship, it’s after tankbay and hanger, and has red floor markings.

  6. If it’s too damaged to repair with a blowtorch then it will likely need to be replaced, to replace it, first deconstruct it by using the screwdriver, then wrench and then crowbar, then build a new one (it’s recommended to build the cade separate from the rest of the cades, then move it into the place the now destroyed cade was.)

Ive seen you mostly in MP, sometimes as squaddie. I think you’d be a tremendous value on the team given the capabilities SEA has to teach ML

That said, you’re the reason i even tried MP! I’ve always appreciated your fair interpretation and application of ML and even in times when I’ve been arrested or seen others arrested with you as CMP; you talk to prisoners, you also listen to them; you’re never heavy-handed and everything ive seen you do is just, procedural, empathetic and documented as best it can be. That gives me a lot of hope because I really want to be able to see more MPs act like that.

+1; good RP, and i get the vibe you really are committed to helping people have fun, even through some of the less-than-awesome parts of the game.

I have no fears for you being mentor, I have interacted with you in game and out of game enough times to know you would be a strong fit for the mentor team.

+1 from me!

I’ve seen Lou around since probably i started playing aswell, i have no doubts on their capabilities and knowledge to become a mentor. All my interactions with him were nothing but positive and great RP.

If anything i can add to him improving is running CAS few times, it’s rather easy to learn but confusing for new players that jump into the role, sometimes there is usually someone with questions about CAS and how the systems work, specially since the UI had changed. And also confusing at first to understand fire missions and how the act when fired for new players.

Regardless, this is an easy +1, i trust Lou will be a great mentor.

I’ve had some interactions with Lou and to be honest it was always good.

They are a very reasonable MP and CMP player and I do enjoy RP moments when they do come by.

+1 absolutely
