In-game Username: You120
Discord username: Echo (id: you120)
Characters you play: Dark-Arc | Omega (station ai) | really old character: Nomo-nur
On average, how many hours do you expect to admin per week: 6-10
Days you are available to admin on: Weekday only a few, but friday+weekend is a lot more free
How old are you? 20
Do you have any SS14 experience outside of Wizard’s Den servers, or any SS13 experience? I have played ss13 a long time ago, but not too much time.
I have played with other servers, but not a lot.
Do you have prior administration experience (SS13/SS14 experience preferred, please also post a way for us to verify this)? I was admin on a CS:GO jailbreak server (Hungarian), sadly its not live anymore, but I’m still in the discord and can show you my rank there
Have you ever been banned from any SS14 or SS13 servers? Yes, i have been. 6+ months ago i was banned for racism, which i didn’t really agreed, and even i fought for my unban, which was granted but it took my willingness to play the game… after i heard that some of the old admins left i decided to come back, and i had a much smoother experience now. The only thing i miss is that there were more interaction between the station and NT (My best memory is when i was hop and i had rp reason to make the captain resign (forcefully) and asked NT for help, than we were slaughtered my random mercenaries, and when the crew found that out, they rebelled XD, sadly i was a ghost by than, but was fun to watch and rp it even i “died/lost”)
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin? I would like to play the game as normal, but i will perform my admin duties if needed, if i need to set back and watch a round from spectator, than i will. I would deal with any issues what occurs, but mainly by talking.
I would love to deal with special rp especial with interaction between the CC and the station. (as i already told you my favorite round) that can elevate rp to an another level but only if the station ask for it first
i would be fine with out of game rule enforcement.
What are you least interested in doing as an admin? i would do everything, but probably ban appeals would be my weakness, as i might be too forgiving to people, (not for their x+ bans) I don’t know what is the policy now on unbans but i will try to fallow it if i needed there
Detail Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
- Keep a safe environment
- Keep a fun environment (Force rp, etc)
- Enforce the rules (balanced with fun)
- Create fun content for other players (Events, Special roles, special missions, etc…)
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I miss the easy RP communication with CC and i would like to revive the “fax some shit to cc and they will reply” as it may provide some fun environment
or just making random inspection (no op gear, nor aa just the title and the clothes)
I wouldn’t say that there is that much of a huge need for new admins, i rarely find any issues
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
I mainly play MRP, and its fine, LRP can be too chaotic for my likeing, but they rp there can be satisfying too
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
Explaining them their wrongs, and how can they fix that.
Issuing a warning
Or, sometimes make an RP out of it, lets say an ai who is overstepping, and or breaking its laws. Just make a special squad, attack ai core, secure the ai, keep the rp up, and than later tell them that you made an rp out of it for now, but its a problematic behavior, and tell them it won’t be tolerated this much next time.
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?
My last ban, on a “racist regard”
I don’t say it couldn’t be considered racist, but i would state it here and now, that i’m not a racist.
Cracking 1 bad joke which may offensively racist, should not make me racist. If the person would have told me they were offended i would have apologized, as that was not my intend, and never is.
The “zero tolerance” may be good, but i would consider intend too as that is really important when dealing with such an issue. (I haven’t made any racist joke attempt after that as i learned people can be overly sensitive about it in a video game too)
But this and the whole interaction with my unban appeal made me quit the game for a while
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
-be me, hop
-Captain, acting a little bit weird.
-Cap just approved an emag shredder to be installed in the middle of the station, in the boxing ring.
-Crew starts to die as they were pushed into it
-Contact HoS
-Hos hate it too
-Contact CC
-Tell them there is an issue with cap
-They ask for command vote
-Got the stamps for it and send it to CC
-Cap and CMO didn’t stamp it
-Mercenaries arrived to the station
-All command is dead except Cap and CMO
-CMO hides bodies in their office while the mercenaries leave
-Crew just found out what all command is dead and CMO tries to hide it
-Rebellion starts
-BEST RP EVER
-but sad to be dead
-round ends with evac, sadly crew wasn’t organized enough to save us and overthrow the cap and cmo
-Would do it again 10/10
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”.
Depends:
-If i have time and the last few rounds were dry and i have noticed many of the people were displeased
I would tell them than they should not ask admins to “do something funny” but i might would do something funny what wouldn’t impact the round that much but would make it more interesting, making a hidden room, releasing some weh gas (just a little), making a talking artifact. Making a CC inspection (no aa, no gadgets, only rp) etc…
-If i don’t have time and, or i see that the server is running fine, and everyone has fun.
I would tell them that do not ask such things as its not the admin duties to “do something funny” and i would continue to do my stuff
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.
QM is fine
Cap should have not left the station nor hide outside of the station. He should have coordinated with security to arrest the clown. (if he didn’t know about the coup) If he didn’t know he should have still stayed in the station I would warn the cap to stay on the station
Clown is non antag and should have not stolen the saber, he must be warned to return the saber and would be admin noted, if there are multiple notes than a timed ban would be justified
Hos and HoP needs a well done rp and a good rp reason to do such things, if i would get ahelp from them i would recommend them to send a fax to NT/CC so they might help or betray them.
I assume no ahelp came, but they did a good rp and they have good rp reason to do so, so they should be fine, but it would be an illegal coup as they need the majority of command take the lead from cap. (I would tell them that)
If they did a poor rp, and they had nor hood rp reason for it, i would warn them and probably after the round they would get a limited command ban, so they will have time to reevaluate what did they wrong there, (a few hours would do it if no previous offense was done)
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.
It really depends on the situation and the offenders intend.
If i’m not on trial, and such i’m equal to them, i would try to be loyal to myself but i would recognize them if they were admins for a longer time. If its not clear that is should be perma ban, and it’s their first offend i would defensively wouldn’t perma ban.
If i’m not equal to the 2 admins, than i would ask the 2nd admin if they wants to take over as i would explain them that i would do something else, and if they want to perma ban them, they should be the doing so, if not, i would continue as normal, but would make the punishment a little bit harsher than i would have earlier
