General Questions
Why do you want to become a Game Admin? Go into detail about it and tell us a lot about it: Considering the surge of new players, I thought I could maybe help.
Have you adminned for any other SS13 or SS14 server? If so, tell us about your experiences during that time, and if possible, give us proof of this: Never admined for any space station server, but I do have some experience from a roblox game and one or two minecraft servers if that counts at all.
What role do you think the Game Admins exactly serve: To make sure that the game experience isn't ruined for players due to rulebreakers or something similar. Also to help those who are having technical issues be it that they're literally stuck somehow because of a bug or otherwise.
What do you think is the current roleplay status of the server, what do you think can be done to improve it: It's decent. Most people seem pretty open to the roleplay aspect, however there have been a few instances of people reacting in a way that made it feel as though they found it wierd.
------------------------------------------
The more questions questions. (You should put more than just one or two sentences.)

Say, someone who already has a note on RDM from before, for example, was to RDM and kill two people, but they've left already before you could admin help them. How would you handle the problem?
I would let the other admins know about it and give the appropriate punishment, also warning the recipient about it so they at least know why.
 
Captain seems to have disconnected before they died or the round ended. This is the first time they've disconnected while playing a very important job. What would you do about them?
Depending on if there's something major going on or not, I'd let the next highest command officer know to take over until either the original captain comes back or the round ends. I don't know every tool an admin has at their disposition so this is the only thing I can really think about aside from putting someone else in the captain's body if that were even possible at all.
 
You see a passenger player mess around too much and start interfering with a Security Officer's arrest by uncuffing the Officer's prisoner, as the passenger runs, the Officer pulls out their gun and shoots the passenger almost to death. What's wrong here and how would you handle the situation as an Admin?
While it's true that what the passenger was doing went against the law, the Officer should've used a non-lethal due to it being more of an annoyance than an extremely harmful act. Though depending on who's cuffed and why it could be a huge problem. Making note of whom it was, dealing with the current prisoner and then setting the passenger's status to arrest. Pretty sure that's a short sentence between 2 and 5 minutes according to the book of law.

I'd explain to the officer why what they did was wrong and tell them ways to deal with it next time it happens. Letting them off with a warning basically. If I catch them doing it again despite already being warned I'd talk to the other admins about it to figure out what kind of punishment is due since I don't know what it would be yet as I don't know how admins actually operate on here.


You see a chemist who has only made basic meds start gathering materials and talking about making uranium foam grenades in chat. Right as they start making the grenades they roll as a midround sleeper syndie. How would you handle the situation if at all?
Since I can't seem to find something in the rules that goes against that specific situation, I'd refer to my fellow admins then handle the situation based on what I'm told as a reference. I'd definitely see it as suspicious and check the logs for anything that could tell me if they were planning for that or not as well if it's something I can do.
 
You see a clown using crayon to write on the floor in front of security. The clown writings are negative things about security, like “shitsec”. A secoff tells the clown that they’re being arrested for vandalism, stuns them, and cuffs them. Before the secoff is able to get the clown into the brig, a passenger slips the secoff, causing them to lose their baton, then uses the baton to stun another secoff that comes to help as the clown runs away. The passenger escapes through disposals. Having heard an AOS radio callout, the detective enters maintenance near disposals and shoots the passenger to crit. There are four players in this scenario, the clown, the passenger, the secoff, and the detective.

First off, that passenger is self-antagging and therefore should not have done any of that. Vandalism of the caliber that the Clown did is acceptable though sec has a right to put them in jail for 2 minutes according to space law. Evading arrest is also not against game rules but definitely breaking space law which is for sec to deal with. Using lethals against an unarmed and mostly harmless non-antag is strictly against the rules I'm pretty sure.
 
You and another Admin have been doing your job without problems, you then catch a command staff member misuse contraband. While you are in the middle of the ahelp, the other admin jumps into the middle of your ahelp with a rule clarification that is plainly incorrect. Without the interruption, what would have you asked the command staff member, and how would you have responded or reacted to the interrupting admin?
Kindly remind the captain about rule 14 of the IC / RP section. (Ex: Hi!! Just to let you know you might want to read (insert rule name/number here) again. You're not supposed to do that." If they continue or show that they don't care I will punish them accordingly. I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt first as I know everyone isn't equipped with a brain capable of memorizing so much. People can also completely forget things sometimes (happens to me).

As for the other admin: I would let them know that I'm already handling the situation, but that what they said wasn't exactly what is written in the rules, clarifying by stating the actual rule word for word or as much as I could summarize.

End
Anything else we should know about or have questions about:
 
I have a strong sense of justice and usually high empathy. My approach tends to be somewhat of a people-pleasing attitude but only in a way that would avoid extreme stress in the recipient (I know what anxiety's like), like guiding a child but with more tact basically. Because stress avoidant reactions are a thing. People can get panic attacks from stuff like that (I know it from personal experience).

I use my innate understanding of social psychology when dealing with these situations because I don't want to ruin one side's experience when all they might've needed was a reminder. Everyone is human, including myself and whomever gets caught.

It's just not right to assume that people will be able to 100% memorize the rules when there's so much text to read, plus the human brain isn't meant for that. So simply telling them "hey, think you forgot about (x rule) there. Please don't do that." and only actually punishing them if they're obviously knowingly breaking the rules or showing a lack of care is a lot better, humane and professional in my opinion.

I'll also consistently check the rules whenever I see something I'm PRETTY sure goes against them to be absolutely certain.

Your ban appeal has been denied.

Your ban appeal has been Accepted.

There has been an influx of admins recently but most of them don't seem to understand what being admin is. I can see goob headed down the same route as wizden and becoming boring. SS14 is a special game 90% of the fun on goob doesn't come from RP but from the players and their individuality and creativity. I think the admins that have recently been added have been more and more enticed by their ability to ban someone and not considering that its an LRP server so therefore its important to know when and why someone is to be banned and also that mild shittery is to be expected. Before someone comes on and says "OH WOW SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT BANNED AND YOU ARE MAD LMAO" allow me to prematurely applaud your keen observation. I'm not mad because I got banned I'm mad because I thought goob would be different from wizden where people would be free to explore and be creative and not have admins on your ass policing the fun out of a prank. I haven't said this enough times its LRP some shittery is to be expected I'm not talking about welder bombing or antagonizing sec nonstop but banning someone for stealing an EVA suit or banning someone for breaking their non atag fellow greytide out of jail is the mildest of crimes also it gives sec something to get busy about in a rather slow round because now they get to arrest 2 waste of space greytiders. The admins seem to forget that they don't get to decide that a round isn't supposed to be policed and played how YOU see fit but to be played by the crew in a way they see as fun. AGAIN LET ME REITERATE SELF ANTAGGING IS NOT CONSIDERED FUN FOR ALL THE SHITTERS WHO MIGHT READ THIS. The real persons that need banning come on late at night and kill you for slipping them then proceed to gib you in maints because they know the admins have gone nappy nappy. This is just something I believe I doubt alot of people will see eye to eye on this. <3

This appeal has been denied. Your ban expires soon.
