Detailed Questions
What role do you think game admins serve on our servers?
To Prevent people from ruining the fun for other players on the server, While also helping to provide information to help people play roles better and letting them experiment in the ways they want to have fun.
Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14?
I wanted to become admin sense i spend so much time on this server, just being able to help people with learning the game and being able to correct people before they get banned or get a warning is something i loved doing, thats why i applied
What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin?
Just the ability to watch over players and being able to correct them in things they are supposed to is really interesting to me, I also like that the admins also like making personal game modes for others to enjoy that also interested me
What are you least interested in doing as an admin?
Doing ban appeals, I feel like i might make the wrong decision because i tend to go based on the situation and not the severity of the offence
How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
I mainly play on MRP, but i feel like you get some good roleplay on the server despite all the chaos that can unfold within seconds
Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
Warnings and talking to people in Ahelp, And giving them the chance to fix their mistakes before they they get banned for something they didn’t know they were supposed to do
Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
Ive hand plenty of good experiences with the admins, Especially with the admin Boggle, they are very kind and always willing to help out if you request them on Ahelp
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?
Never had a negative experience with any admins.
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 ignore them, and would ask them if they wanted me to do something funny they should have bought an admin abuse token and AHelp to use it on them.
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.
For the hos and hop i would ask why are they they trying to arrest the captain sense they are supposed to be following the orders of the captain, If the reason isn’t valid enough for them to be arresting the captain i personally would ban them for a day for selfantag
I would Ban the clown for selfantag Due to stealing while not being a thief
I would also inform the captain that they are supposed to stay on station
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.
I would tell them that an admin told me earlier that this is should be a temp ban for a first offence, and ask them why they would think its a better idea to perm ban them and make them appeal for such a minor offence
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?
I would msg them on Ahelp, asking them why are they rusting to salvage to get bombs, Did they get permission from QM to do so, and ask if the person was banned on other servers and if he is ban evading
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?
Ahelp them and inform them that was unnecessary escalation to lethal them on blue, and that lethal is only authorized in blue
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 would inform them to do their job, If they don’t want to do it i would tell them to cryo to let someone else take over or to tell them to set it to none on the lobby so they don’t ruin other players fun
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?
I would take the criticism and take it to account if what i was doing was wrong and would thank them for informing me
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 check on them every now and then to make sure they are not doing anything to sabotage the station while they are not an antag
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?
I would Finish the cmo’s ahelp, then when i when i am finished i would go to the ward and inform them that that is improper Space law and that they shouldn’t be executing the clown for assault, i would then revive the clown and role ban the ward for a day
Do you have any further notes or information we should know about you?
I am currently in the military and might be gone for long periods of time, Would i have to reapply if i have to go on deployment or anything?
