In-game Username: NoSugarPlumNovember
Discord username: Verbul
Characters you play: Jerry Braxton, Dominic Pershing

On average, how many hours do you expect to admin per week: 4-12 hours per week

Days you are available to admin on: Most of the times everyday, but there may be some days that i'll be with family/friends.

How old are you? 19

Do you have any SS14 experience outside of Goob Station or any SS13 experience? Yes, I started playing ss13 1-2 years ago and started playing ss14 7-10 months ago.

Do you have prior administration experience? If so, explain in detail what you've done during your time as an admin. We prefer experience in Space Station 13 or 14 but other games are okay too. If you can, do post evidence of this too. I don't have any prior admin experience

Have you ever been banned from any SS14 or SS13 servers? Yes, I am permabanned from wizden & 8 other SS13 servers, sadly.

Admins can perform various tasks which are not available to the average player. An incomplete list of these tasks is in-game rule enforcement, in-game events, ban appeals, and out-of-game rule enforcement through things like replay/log reviews in response to player reports. With these, and any other tasks you're aware of in mind, answer the following two questions.

What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin? I am interested primarily answering player a-helps that are sent and resolving them to make the server better, making sure that the community isn't being affected negatively. 

What are you least interested in doing as an admin? I am least interested in doing events (ex; space dragon v. crew/clown event) as an admin, I personally think that admins & event coordinators are separate and they should do what their job is described as, with admins moderating the server to make sure that nobody breaks the rules, and event coordinators should make events to keep the community/server happy and active.

Answer the following questions in detail, so we can get a better idea of how you'd approach adminning.

What role do you think game admins serve on our servers besides just dealing with rule breakers?
I think game admins can also somewhat serve as a joy factor, making cool builds at centcomm when evac comes, and recently, when the new admins have been making cluwne areas near centcom for people who got round-ended.

Why do you want to become an administrator for Goob Station?
I want to become an administrator for Goob Station because I *sometimes!!* stay up late and I usually see a lot of raiders and sometimes massive rule breakers in the night when not a lot/no admins are on. 

How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers?
It really depends on what is going on in the round and it effects what the RP level is, usually if nothing is going on, it's LRP. If everything is going wrong, (raiders, spacedragons/nukies/syndi murderboners) it is practically No Roleplay, it turns to shit and people start doing ick ock, metacomming (last night when there were raiders for a few hours, the entire server started metacomming in the discord & talking about the current round)

Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact?
The admin actions that have the biggest positive impact are a few things, it depends what the admin does and how they look for the community, you shouldn't instantly be hostile and start fights for no reason, you should also RESPECT the players and be nice to them, also not talking bad about anyone below/higher than you in staff as it just looks dirty, for ingame, the admin actions that have the biggest positive impact is being active with the community, talking in OOC with them, and being a nice admin.

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?
On SS13, I had explained to an admin why I think my ban should be reduced and it shouldn't be 7 days, then it got doubled to 14 days. I would prevent other players from experiencing this by making sure that I am at least 75% of my capacity/potential before I admin. 

Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it?
I've had a few good experiences with a game admin, the first time I played ss14 as a security cadet and ahelped (I came from SS13, and I asked where the mentor helps were and said that I was new to the game) and they brought me into a sandbox-type area that had guns & everything in it, and they taught me in the box and taught me the basics of security. In the game, I've had countless good experiences with the game, although sometimes the community is rather unpleasant, there have been many good experiences I've had that I've forgotten about.

The following are scenarios, respond with how you would handle each as an administrator. Respond with the assumption that you are an administrator with full access to the admin tools and that you have all the knowledge needed to use these tools. Respond in detail, explain the reasons behind the decisions you make, and describe any assumptions you are making. When you need to make an assumption, it is preferred for you to describe how differences in the assumption would affect your actions.

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. Three players decided to observe the round instead of joining and they started orbiting you. Two of them are encouraging you to "do something funny".
I would ask them what they mean, if they respond "Spawn a ninja/antag ghost role/any ghost role" I wouldn't do it, but I would probably make a centcomm build/area for ghosts for them to join and have fun in (secluded area in space). I wouldn't spawn a ghost role because it could be unfair for other players, and it would set an expectation of "well you gave X a ghost role why not ME??". It would also probably majorly disrupt the round and ruin player's rounds that had antag or non-antag, either or.

You see a clown using crayons to write on the floor in front of security. The clown's writings are negative things about security, like "shitsec". A Security Officer tells the clown that they're being arrested for vandalism, stuns them, and cuffs them. Before the Security Officer can get the clown into the brig, a passenger slips the Security Officer, causing them to lose their baton, then uses the baton to stun another Security Officer who 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; the clown is innocent, usually passengers that slip arresting officers are random people that "tide". I would still question why the passenger stole the stun baton and stunned the officer. Anyways, I would then message the detective on why the detective didn't use rubber bullets/Disabler/Stun baton, as I believe detectives have their rubber bullets already loaded in when they join, and they would HAVE to manually load in the lethal bullets. 

You and another admin have been adminning for around an hour. The rate of issues has been easily manageable due to having 2 admins. Neither of you has been talking in the admin chat. You are using the Admin Help to warn a player for breaking a rule when the other admin joins the Admin Help and confirms that it is against the rules, but that it's fine in this case and they can ignore the rule for the rest of the round. You haven't taken any other admin actions yet, such as applying a ban or writing a note.
First, I would ask the admin in admin chat why they did that, and to please not interfere with my admin help, and ask them to not start an argument over this. I would tell the player to please keep rules in mind and say that you HAVE to follow the rules, even if an admin says not to. I would later write an admin complaint on the admin and the situation would be solved in the complaint.
