Do you have prior administration experience (SS13/SS14 experience preferred, please also post a way for us to verify this)? No
Have you ever been banned from any SS14 or SS13 servers? once from wizden for antag rolling, I was new, and I have since learned from this experience
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin? Events, seeing what is possible within SS14 through events, and peeking at the source code has made me VERY interested in hosting events, such as merchant shuttles, ghost games, and even rimworld events! Anything event related has me excited!
What are you least interested in doing as an admin? Ban appeals seem annoying, but not something that I would HATE
Detail Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
The gamemasters of the shift, ensuring that rules are being followed, and like a D&D DM spicing it up where need be
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
To host events that make players have fun, coming from Gmod SCPRP where all I did was host events ir brings me joy to see players enjoy my creations
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
It is in a healthier spot than it has been, the semi recent LRP changes were much needed, and MRP feels in a very healthy spot
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
Events
Have you ever had a negative experience in the game or with a game admin? If so what, if anything, would you do to prevent other players from experiencing this?
Not that i can say
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
A round where i was outed by a borg that screamed they were emagged, even though nothing was done the admin was very understanding and provided clear communication about what was done
Also the admin from my first ban was pretty chill about it, and even thought I was in the VERY wrong was not blowing it up
Scenario Questions
Scenario 1
It is the start of the round. There are 60 players on the server. The game mode is traitors, traitors have not been selected yet. There are three players who decided to observe the round instead of join it orbiting you. Two of them are encouraging you to “do something funny”.
For starters I would converse with the ghosts to pass the time until traitors get selected, if enough people begin to join in a ghost game would be a good idea (although I would need one planned out in advance). If i have nothing currently planned, and enough time has passed with nothing interesting happening I would perform a mini event (such as a traveling merchant ship) or another event that would not fully interrupt round flow but still interact with the station in a minor way
Scenario 2
This scenario takes place on LRP. The Head of Security has decided to coup the Captain. The Head of Personnel agrees with the Head of Security and has taken up arms in case it is necessary to aid in effecting the arrest of the Captain. The Captain is hiding with the Quartermaster in the cargo shuttle to avoid the Clown who has stolen the captains saber as a non-antag. There are five people named in this scenario. Please describe what actions, if any, you would take in relation to each, and why.
The HOS/HOP - I would immediately question the HOS to figure out why he wanted to arrest the captain. If the captain was acting out of term and a vote passed from command (all command agree) that captain was in the wrong then I see no reason for punishment.
However if the HOS simply wanted to remove the captain because “why not” or a similar reason he would be issued an admin remark, and depending on the severity of his actions (either nothing done yet or actively tried to make an arrest) a slight role ban such as 3 days could be applied
The Captain/QM - Would be asked why they are abandoning their role for the station. Assuming clean records for the both of them I would honestly just leave them with an admin remark and tell them to return to the station
The Clown - 3 day ban for self antag and a remark
Scenario 3
You are ahelping a player about an issue. The player has no prior noted issues. A few days earlier, an admin had told you that this type of situation should result in a temporary ban for a first offense, and you are confident that this situation is not substantially different from the type that admin was describing. During the ahelp, another admin pings you on Discord with a link to the ongoing ahelp and tells you to just indefinitely ban them and make them appeal. Excluding trialmins and headmins, all admins are equally “ranked”. A headmin is not currently available.
I would raise my concerns to the other admin in question, assuming I can get a hole of the original admin from the case days prior I would and bring them into the situation, assuming I can not I would issue a temporary ban and strongly advise the second admin (the one advocating for the perma) to either wait for a headmin to become available or the prior admin to discuss what the proper punishment should be
Of course if there is some form of documentation covering this situation or one similar to it I would point to it first
