How long have you played on Citadel?: Since 2015? I dunno, check for me.
How long have you played SS13?: Long enough that lifeweb lets me play on it. 2012.
What is your timezone/general hours of activity?: My hours are very erratic, in truth, and they end up varying between Oceania times and normal american EST times. If it helps, my timezone is GMT -5. If I need to pick between the 'Oceania' and 'EST' timezones, I will.
Previous SS13 related admin experience:
*Â Moderator, then Admin, then Moderator, then Admin of Citadel. (www.cit- wait)
Previous non-SS13 related admin experience:
Chronologically
*Â Moderator, then Admin, then Co-Owner of a WoW AllGM Server called MASSCHAOS that I slowly morphed into an RP server. (20-40 players.)
*Â Moderator of a Vanilla WoW server called WoW-Voltage
*Â Moderator, then Admin of a Fallout RP Gmod Server (Hypergamernetwork) (15-20 players)
*Â Moderator, then Admin, then Owner of a Minecraft server (Hypergamernetwork) ( 60+ players )
*Â Owner/Director of a different Minecraft server in the same community (Upwards of 35 players until its death.)
*Â Currently still a Supervisor/Manager for that community (but the community kinda died.)
*Â Dungeon Master (Event Staff), then Staff (admin), then Dungeon Master Manager (Event Team Leader) on a WoW Rp server (35-50 players) (Paragon-rp.com)
If you had to ask me, I would say I was in my best capacity when managing the Dungeon Master team in the Paragon community.
Current administrators who have agreed to support your application:Â
Reason for application: I wanna do events on CitMain and help alleviate the workload some people have. People've told me it's a little bit boring without me, there, now, so I'm here to bnring back the magic. Hopefully I don't just fuck it all up.
Q1. How would you engage with two players having an out of character altercation?
A1. If the matter pertains to the server, attempt to moderate it or suppress it to appropriate channels. If it has nothing to do with the server, break it up and tell them to deal with it on their own time. If it seems serious enough that it might cause some kind of in-game issue (ie. Metagrudge) keep wary of it and maybe mention it to other administrators.
Q2. What should an admin do if they're involved in a situation that needs admin intervention?
A2. Recuse themselves. If there are admins online, they should be willing and able to step in as the Admin team should form a cohesive, functional unit, or, in the case that other Admins are not online, help should be requested either in the admin chat or via PMs or something. Adminhelping with de-admin is a bad idea. In the event that no additional administration personnel are available, Admins should make the best, most impartial decision that they are able to make. In the end, any flawed decisions can be appealed and set 'right'.
Q3. How should an admin determine in what way to punish someone who breaks the rules?
A3. By three counts: Severity, repeat offense and profiling. There are punishment guidelines in the rules, but for the most part, punishment will escalate with what is done, how often it is done, and who it is done by. Many may not like it, but those who repeatedly cause issues will recieve harsher punishments.
Q4. Under what conditions should an admin de-admin themselves while playing?
A4. IDEALLY when not exercising their capacity as a moderator/admin and ESPECIALLY when playing as a Security, Head or Antagonist role, or engaging in activities that either directly benefit, cooperate or aid with any of these forces. Some minor pardon can be given for someone playing Engineer and patching up the station willy-nilly, but it's always better to have it disabled so there's no way you can, either abuse it or be accused of abusing it when you have not. This has always been THE most important Admin Guideline to me.
Q5. What is expected of an admin on Citadel?
A5. The ability to be mature, handle difficult and, infact, stressful situations of interpersonal conflict. An admin should be able to calmly, and rationally, approach an issue that a player is having or be able to identify violations of the rules and guidelines of the server and deliver fair and meaningful arbitration to the perpetrators, be they guilty or otherwise.
Additional note:
For those interested, I have resigned from Admin, twice, due to an inability to maintain good activity. I would rather leave an empty chair than a half-full one.
If it is necessary, I would be comfortable with the role of Moderator, but do enjoy the full capacity of being a GameAdmin.
And it's not just all the shiny buttons, I promise.
I realise this application is no guarentee of me getting the desired, or any, position, and in the event that I am not chosen for adminsitrator or staff, I completely understand. I hope that my previous performance as GameAdmin will speak for me better than any application could.
