Command Knowledge:

How familiar are you with command positions?

I know my way with command roles and the nuances that come with it, i’m pretty experienced in coordinating marines, as SL and XO, though of course i’m not perfect I know the many opportunities that come with each role, knowing when to attack and retreat as SL, mantaining cohesion, and making sure things work out are things i’m familliar and experienced with.

Hours in XO:

XO: 129.6

Hours in SL:

SL:68.9

Character Information:

Why did your character decide to become the CO of a ship?

After numerous sucessfull operations on the USS Pharaon, Ergosax felt the need to step up from her Captain position for the sake of her career and for those she had lost, Ergosax tries to make up for that by being the Light to guide the marines, for those she lost. Making sure everyone returns home safe, and sound.

How did your character attain the position of CO?

After the Rough Sucess of Operation Old Lime Ruby, Ergosax received her promotion for her ability to adapt to any situation, when its needed. Her Compassion was also noted by her CO, Maj.Jonathan Wilson. For always trying to be a positive voice, on the middle of so much chaos.

Provide a short story of your CO.

Command Actions:

When do you believe it’s appropriate to pardon a prisoner?

Pardoning a Prisoner is an powerful tool of the whitelist. I would first require the full story by both the MP’s and the person arrested, prioritizing gaining the maximum of information possible before taking any action, intent also matters a lot as i wouldnt give out pardons to people who have maliciously commited a crime, no matter how big or small.

I would also issue pardons to minor crimes, should the round really necessitate the role.

Give some examples of when you would or would not use pardon.

  • A granadier accidentally primes a granade in req, it blows up but no one is killled, the MP’s however bring them in anyway. I would pardon here, i dont think its good for the round to loose its spec for however much time they spent in the brig for a simple mistake, i would however ask the person to take care to their best of their abillities, and to make sure to not repeat the same action.

  • Marines start rioting over the lack of unga on medbay, first they start shouting and later it involves into a full fist-fight with a nurse being put in crit. I would not use a pardon. Not only its extremely childish for marines to just go on a full-blown riot for the lack of med, the fact that all this could have been avoided all the same, had they waited warrants the denial of a pardon.

When do you believe it’s appropriate to use a Battlefield Execution?

To me BE is an extremely important tool of the Whitelist. I would only use BE’s to punish extremely egregious behaviour that i think arent welcomed at all on the game,Such as LRP or someone threatening the command structure, in any way such as refusing to follow the plan on a delta alert. Or Saying meme stuff on the radio.

Give some examples of when you would or would not use Battlefield Execution.

A marine claims command sucks, MP’s are not present, i try to delegate someone the same marine resorts to shooting the person i’ve delegated the arrest, resulting on their death. I would use a BE here, no one in their right mind would break the chain of command like that in-real life, nor would they open fire and kill someone just for attempting a arrest

A marine start brawling with a cargo technician because they didnt give them their equipment, after a while fighting the cargo tech ends-up in crit, and a frac. Luckily the Mp’s manage to arrest the perp, and take him in. I would NOT use a BE here, i believe the MP presence here already solved the issue and using anything more would be excessive.

Edit:Fixing some grammar issues oops

+1, i will open by saying i’m extremely partial to you. so whatever i say after this comes with that in mind.

i predict the written component is where you’ll get the most requests for revisions. for what it’s worth, i think the story could be longer, maybe others will want it to have more “polish”/prose-y stuff.

but i think you focused well on your character and her personality and get the core of who she is: headstrong, sensitive, feeling. i don’t say any of this to be picky (and it’s not easy to say it), or invite people to be cruel after this; we played on other servers together and i went through this process and it is uniquely exhausting and extensive. but i really, really, really want you to get this WL.

you’re superb, you’re patient, you’re thorough as a player and i appreciate your presence so much. and my +1 is sincere as it gets, regardless of above. i really 100% would have you as you are, because i appreciate you as you are. just know WLs are a process highly prone to having to iterate.

i don’t have questions about your mechanical abilities. i haven’t seen anything of issue and i know that your style is you gather information and take slower but assured steps. i don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, and i think you play as someone with 270 hours in command would.

i can appreciate if you lead a little more “steady”, and i think it sets up a really nice contrast with who Ergosax is supposed to be: she’s someone who’s really trying.

my only other advice is to make sure it’s Ergosax who’s really trying, who’s exasperated, who would go to the ends of the Earth to make everything right. :+) don’t burn yourself out in the quest for CO. plus when you get there, it’ll still feel special and fun, not like a chore or obligation because “oh, now i have this WL, i guess i better play it”

however, not plat sg

all the love in the world to you, Ms. Saxophone. Jones will be within your reach soon enough.

Violeta is a pretty experienced individual when it comes to CIC. I wouldn’t have any problems with them COing an operation.

+1. I adore Violeta. Her mere presence in a round makes me smile. A kind, generous, and helpful player all around and a future CO that I trust to both pay attention and not throw our lives away needlessly.
