Detail Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
They are like mother to a child, without them, it will be a chaos
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I want to enforce the servers, on some servers there are NO admins like on low population ones, people might break more rules there than on high population servers.
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
LRP servers are a little goofy and sometimes have rulebreakers. MRP, haven’t tried it yet but i guess it’s better and less rulebreakers
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
Mostly fun 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?
No.
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
Not really but they are chill.
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”.
1.the players could take a ghost role instead and have fun with it instead.
2.I wouldn’t “do something funny” just because observers asked, especially at round start and in traitor mode. If I did want to add some humor, I’d make sure it was minor, IC-justified, and wouldn’t disrupt gameplay. Admin discretion must always prioritize the full server experience not just the amusement of a few.
also encouraging an admin to “do something funny” is not inherently problematic, but it could
tempt newer or less experienced admins into inappropriate behavior.
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.
I have to hurry because i don’t have much time left at the moment, so HoS Spectate, investigate cause of coup Warn or note if unjustified powergaming
HoP Same as above - Minor intervention unless instigating chaos
Captain No action unless AFK/abandoning station PM if they’re dodging round responsibility too much
QM Watch for role overreach Usually no action
Clown PM and investigate saber theft Warn or ban for self-antagging depending on context
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.
Depending on the rule the player broke, it should be warned first. If an admin tells me to indefinitely ban them and make them appeal, i’ll talk to a headmin about it
Note, at scenario 2 and 3 i was in a hurry so don’t expect much from it, also my username in ss14 is Jancas not Jancac
