Detailed Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
enforcing rules, teaching new players, running events, making a better experience for the players.
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I’ve always looked up to the admins with how they could bring such joy to game play and keep the game running smoothly and keeping others from braking the rules, to be one is an honor id wish to have at some point and I’ve been putting it off for too long.
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin?
helping other players learn the game, and the smaller things that kind of just make the persons day like giving the chemist a jug of weh juice. I feel like its these smaller things that make the game a joy to play and even making there day better.
What are you least interested in doing as an admin?
Giving perma bans, its stuff like this that just sits with me wrong I admit that sometimes there’s no other option but to think that one of the things that has given me joy more times than I can count, is banned for life? never to play again? the thought that the human race is capable of doing stuff to cause that? but I can still do it I know that sometimes there’s no other way.
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
I don’t play much LRP but I play a ton of MRP and on high pop it’s a bit chaotic but otherwise it’s a good balance of playing the game and doing work and doing rp .
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
as I said a moment ago the smaller things for the players like giving the chaplain anom cores because they made there own region and actually did a good job making it. It can also be helping the players in bigger ways like on low pop MRP its quite common for power to go out stuff like say dropping down as a cco and fixing power is that kind of thing that can make a players day knowing someone saw what was going on and the first thought was for them to help
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
I’ve had many good experiences with snoop diglet and boggle on MRP
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 had an admin be a bit rude and blunt but not in any way that made me go (wow what a jerk) if you know what I mean
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”.
It depends on how long the shift has been going, if nothings really going on like a hour into the shift and people are talking in ooc asking if its green shift I might make a pole of something along the lines of “its feeling like a green shift spawn an antag or 2?” “yes” or “no” and do or don’t spawn a antag based off of result
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.
it depends on why the coup was started, if the captain was braking major SOP rules then I would give the cap a warning if that isnt the case, Id give a warning to the clown for self antag, MAYBE a warning to the hos and maybe talk to hop. but if its for no reason then talk to hos depending on what they say warning or temp ban, then talk to hop depending on reason leave hop alone or give a warning for self antag and maybe a role ban from command
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.
With no prior notes I would just temp bad its a job of a admin to punish bad behavior when it happens and hope they learn there lesson, its human nature to make mistakes but if you don’t give a 2nd chance then you revoke there right to learn from mistakes and possibly become a good member to the server
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?
ahelp the cargo tech depending on what they say I might teleport them to the admin testing chamber for more questioning before they can do more or any harm then afterwards maybe let them go maybe give a warning
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?
check logs, maybe sec was told by hos that the mime has a CR-20 and is KOS or maybe ward messed up and hit kos instead of wanted all these things can happen, afterwards ahelp both the mime and secoff the mime may have had a reason, maybe tesloose maybe nukies then ahelp the secoff maybe the mime was holding a gun, maybe theres a L6-saw in EVA that the mime is grabbing. the act with the needed action like warnings temp bans or nothing at all depending on what they did and what they said
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?
Ahelp the CE saying to do there job if the CE still doesn’t then a warning or a CE role ban for anywhere from 2 days to a week depending JUST how bad it is. Then make an announcement from CC saying CE is to be demoted or fired (once again depending how bad it is) active immediately
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?
maybe tell them it was a bit rude to butt in like that but otherwise thank them for correcting my mistake
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?
with how goob has evolved that’s the norm, id watch the tider closely but otherwise do nothing. ive seen admin after admin see tiders do stuff like this and do nothing and the crew doesnt care most of the time
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?
The ward killing the clown is bad yes but the chemist can cause a bad experience for many others, id handle the chemist issue first, then talk to the ward in rp and maybe demoting the ward or even firing them then because I was involved with it I’d get the help of a headmin for the case OOC wise
Do you have any further notes or information we should know about you?
I don’t have a full grasp of 2.1 admin policy but I think I at lest kind of understand it. I also couldn’t get a personal server to run to test admin stuff but I’ve played on sandbox servers and know how to spawn stuff it but not much more. I made another post but deleted it because I was dead tired and retried today. also happy ester!
