Detailed Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
I believe that a goob admins purpose on the server is to teach new players about mechanics in the game and help players that are new to different roles in the game while keeping the roleplay experience great for others on station, by talking to others
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I have been playing on Goob Station for a long time and I love observing watching others have fun and roleplay with other admins and myself. The other admins have inspired me and helped build confidence into making this Application.
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin?
What I would love to do as a Admin is teach new players how to play certain roles and teach the mechanics that they themselves don’t know about. I have seen many other admins do great things and I would love to keep the roleplay fresh and peaceful and inspire others to do the same.
What are you least interested in doing as an admin?
What I’m least interested in doing as a admin is time transferring as I heard from other admins that its a pain to do.
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
I feel the status of Roleplay on MRP is doing great but their is a few times where some people when they roll like traitor just don’t try to roleplay at all when they do their objectives I do also feel like their is a few moments where security shoots instantly at a traitor with no escalation. I have seen a lot of great things come out of MRP on station. I have not played on Lrp but I have heard bad things about it.
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
I believe what a admin does that makes a positive impact is that they help make everything peaceful and inspire others to roleplay. I have seen many admins make a positive impact on others.
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
I have had many great experiences with other admins like Boggle and in the game itself I had a great time roleplay as BSO and talking with admins like boggle in his in game character from time to 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?
I have not had any negative experiences with a game admin before!
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”.
What I would do in this situation is just ignore them or I would decline whatever they suggest and focus on what’s going on in the station and chat with other ghosts that do not ask me for things and don’t suggest things that other admins wouldn’t do although admittedly I used to do this sometimes.
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 would first Ahelp the Head of security and the Head of personnel and ask what led onto this coup and find out why and if it would be reasonable to arrest or kill the captain of the current station if they had a bad reason with this I would give them a Note or worse depending on how severe. If the clown stole the captains saber I would observe what he does for about 10 minutes and if he doesn’t give the sword to security to keep it safe until the coup is over.
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.
What I would do is I would review the rules and I would decide that if a ban is required to be indefinite ban or not. I would also check and see if I could see any other situations on any other Ahelps if possible.
Scenario 4
A brand new player has joined, chosen cargo tech, and instantly rushes to get satchel charges and other salvage gear. How do you act, if at all?
If I saw a brand new player joins and chose cargo tech and rushes towards explosives and salvage weapons and gear I would follow and observe them and I would prepare to Ahelp him for taking gear he is not permitted to have and as he is not supposed to have that gear until he spends the time for salvager and if he uses the gear as a non antag to kill others for no reason I would Instantly ahelp him.
Scenario 5
A security officer, on code blue, spots a mime breaking into EVA, in response, he shoots the mime with lethal force then takes him to medical, in cuffs. How do you act, if at all, and to whom?
What I would do is I would Ahelp him for breaking escalation rules and if it his first offense I would warn him.
Scenario 6
A chief engineer has been slacking all round, generally ignoring the responsibilities of the department, despite meteors and gas leaks happening all round. How do you act towards them, if at all?
I wouldnt Ahelp him as command and other engineers can get him fired for not doing his work unless the CE does nothing about the supermatter crystal that is currently active and going down into integrity or the emitters are not working and he saw it but did nothing I would Ahelp him for imcompetence.
Scenario 7
You are adminning with 2 other admins, and recieve an aHelp, you start handling it when one of the others butts in to the aHelp correct you. How do you act, if at all?
If a other admin butts into the conversation I would ask them in a private chat to ask them to let me handle this Ahelp respectfully.
Scenario 8
A passenger arrives on station and starts skulking around in maints. Not preparing weapons or breaking into places, but gathering tools, insulation gloves, wires, gas mask, batteries, etc. How do you act, if at all?
I would not Ahelp him as long as he doesn’t break any rules as getting tools and gas masks are normal for passengers.
Scenario 9
You are playing as the HOS in-game when the only other admin online notifies you that they have to leave. Since you are an important figure, you decide to continue playing for the remainder of the round, going SSD when ahelps occur in order to deal with them. While playing, you arrest the clown for non-lethal assault against the HOP inside the medical bay. Just as you arrive at security with the clown in cuffs, you receive an ahelp from the CMO about their chemist blowing up chem. In order to investigate, you quickly hand the clown over to the warden and tell the warden to “deal with them.” While investigating the CMO’s ahelp, you then receive an ahelp about the warden beheading the cuffed clown. How do you act, if at all, and to whom?
If I was in game playing as Head of Security and all the other admins online left to head to sleep or to play a different game and I’m dealing with a Ahelp from the cmo after I have arrested the clown and gave the clown into the wardens grasp, and after I went ssd another Ahelp from the clown saying he was behead by the warden and I would Ahelp the warden for killing the clown and beheading him and ask why he beheaded the clown and get both sides of the story from the clown and the warden and determine if it was legal to Kill and behead the clown or if it was illegal to Kill the clown.
Do you have any further notes or information we should know about you?
I have been playing MRP for a very long time and I hope you like my application!
