Posted: Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:49 pm
BYOND ckey: RealDonaldTrump
Character name: A lot of characters, main ones being Chayse Ramsay, Caleb Marshall and Jalen Grey.
Discord username (+user id): Chayse.CrpTk#7729
How long have you played on Citadel?: Two years, roughly. Had an interlude of a few months due to a ban.
How long have you played SS13?: Since 2008.
What is your timezone/general hours of activity?: Varies, mostly GMT but can do EST.
Previous SS13 related admin experience: Hypatia, Heavy Roleplay admin during high pop.
Previous non-SS13 related admin experience: Ran a Garry's Mod HaloRP server that Deck played on before Citadel.
Reason for application:
I've been around for around two years now and what I've seen is that in the early hours of 12am - 7am or so there's a population of fifty players and no staff who are able to get on. I'm currently out of college and all of my time is free to help out the server. I've done staff work before on a roleplay server which went defunct late last year, Hypatia. It was a 24/7 extended heavy roleplay server, so the rules were tight and we learnt when to be strict about the rules and when to be more relaxed.
I was also the forum host and I managed the layout and design of the forums, as well as dealing with ban appeals and forwarding them to the correct staff member to handle the appeal. I honestly believe that I could make a good staff member on the server due to my experience and the fact that I'm willing to simply observe an entire round without getting involved unless necessary, and as far as I can tell there was only one instance on Hypatia where I was accused of admin abuse. My notes may be pretty incriminating, but a lot of them are from last year, and I honestly have matured a lot since then.
Below you will be required to describe how you would handle a handful of scenarios that may or may not require admin intervention.Â
For every scenario, describe your personal opinion of the intentions of the player(s), whether you think you should intervene, and how you would initiate an intervention with the player(s) if you decide to.
There are technically no "correct" answers for this, but you will be judged on how you respond to these questions.
You observe two players having a fist-fight in the bar. Player 1 puts Player 2 into critical condition, and then Player 1 quickly leaves the bar to go heal them-self. Checking their attack logs, you find that neither of them had any interaction before they started fighting. Checking their say logs however, you discover that both of them got in a verbal confrontation that got very heated, and that Player 2 both initiated the confrontation and threw the first punch. How do you proceed? - Completely valid RP. Continue as usual.
You observe one player acting suspiciously and decide to watch them. While watching, you discover that they are a new player with less than a day of time on the server. You also discover that they haven't said anything for the entire round. Their contents include a full set of tools, and not much else. While watching they spend their time breaking into unsecure areas like the bar back room, hydroponics, the chapel office, EVA. How do you proceed? Continue observing. An assistant breaking into unsecure areas isn't exactly unusual, only when they start stealing items or breaking into secure areas would it be worthy of a bwoink.
You observe Player 1 who is a scientist building a combat mech. When they're finished, they allow Player 2 who is their friend and an assistant to come and take the combat mech out of the department. Later, Player 2 gets into a fight with security over the possession of the combat mech, and decides to try killing the security players but fails and is killed by security instead. How do you proceed? - Bwoink the scientist and ask why they gave an assistant a combat mech. Most likely outcome would be metabuddying, but benefit of the doubt is always needed. Bwoink the assistant and ask why they thought escalating straight to murdering security when they asked them legitimately to surrender the mech was a good idea. Outcome for that will most likely be a harsh warning and a note, but it'd depend on their response really.
