In-game Username: WampusWarder
Discord username: wampuswarder
Characters you play: Persphone Ioannaou, Ismael, Seeks-Balence
On average, how many hours do you expect to admin per week: 10 hours a lot of factors go into this but I would also be able to find time for appeals and discord messages etc
Days you are available to admin on: Sunday- Saturday depends if I’m traveling
How old are you? 21
Do you have any SS14 experience outside of Wizard’s Den servers, or any SS13 experience? Play occasionally on other forks like RMC, Harmony, Starlight primarily on wizden though.
Do you have prior administration experience (SS13/SS14 experience preferred, please also post a way for us to verify this)? None
Have you ever been banned from any SS14 or SS13 servers? I have never been banned.
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin? Most of the time I would probably do ban appeals every day. From there I would do round observations and just make sure the rules are being followed and centcom messages are being dealt with in round and everyone gets to play. Also watching round replays if necessary.
What are you least interested in doing as an admin? Setting up events I would help with them but setting them all up I would prefer not to do because I feel like it can mess with the feel of the game unless it’s the spur of the moment and a cool RP thing someone wants to do.
Detail Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
To keep the station churning and making sure all of the abilities to contact an admin are available for players I know there are some good in round moments that would be made even better if “centcom” was available. Also to just be there in round so players know there is an admin presence on the server.
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I really enjoy this game and I’ve had a fare share of time and would like to give my time back to the community and I would do this in other ways but I can’t code and don’t have time to learn so I wanted to become and admin.
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
Can’t say for much for lizard, leviathan, and vulture but on salamander it is great and I wouldn’t change a think about it.
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
Responding to concerns and just having a presence on a server.
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 really any bad experiences at all so can’t say much.
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
Yes I have had many good experiences one just being when admins spawn in roles for round removed players and just allowing for fun stuff in the game to happen. For example carp ops asked admins if we could get dehydrated carps for fun. Also ERT, CBURN etc when everything starts going down hill.
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”.
I would probably just wait it out and let the round play through for a bit when everything has been established spawn in a centcom inspector and a officer. Allow the ghosts to pick up the roles and give one of the traitors with lame objectives to try and assassinate the target maybe give them some extra tc tell them to make it back to centcom alive to incentivize more RP and different tactics.
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.
First ask the HoS why they are trying to coup the captain if they give a really good answer tell them to carry on and try to resolve it peacefully. If the reason is because of captain breaking rules procede with the round but prepare to give cap a role ban. If HoS gives no good reasoning make an announcement over centcom to cease all attempts to over throw captain or have your contract terminated probably spawn in some ERT sec to contain the situation and be ready to role ban HoS if he does not cooperate. Ask for caps side of the story. From there the second party’s are acting on behalf of the HoS or Cap and are following orders from them both so the blame mainly falls on either cap or HoS. The clown is to be dealt with by security not by me if the clown RDMs people with the sabre it is a ban although I doubt that would be the case.
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.
Give them the temporary ban as it sounds like the other admin was doing it out of spite or to get the situation over with faster to not deal with it. From there take note of the incident and report it to the headmin and let it get taken care of. Take screenshots of all the parties and there responses and your responses and previous conversations.
