[Cataclysmanic] RP-Administrator Re-Re Application

Post by Cataclysmanic »

BYOND ckey: Cataclysmanic
Character name: Nate Fitzgerald, TEAL, Hal Alburn, FISH, Kai'Tira
Discord username (+user id): Cataclysmanic#1414
How long have you played on Citadel?: Since May 20th 2019
How long have you played SS13?: Three years now.
What is your timezone/general hours of activity?: UTC- 05:00 (EST) I'm most active around 4PM EST to 12AM EST
Previous SS13 related admin experience: 2 Month Trial Admin on Citadel, 3 Month Admin on Vesta (Briefly Head Administrator)
Previous non-SS13 related admin experience: Back when I was in military camp, I had taught the younger units on proper firearm handling and usage. Aside from that, not much administrative experience.
Current administrators who have agreed to support your (re-)application: Enzo Leon, Kodiak Jackson
Reason for application: I had originally left Citadel because I had, completely honest, lost faith in not only the community, but administration itself. I've been watching from the background, and playing a few rounds, I've seen just how much this server has changed, I've kinda regained that hope I once lost. After going over to Vesta, and seeing just how much worse shit can actually be, I'm thinking about maybe giving it another shot here, if y'all will have me. I not only have the administrative abilities required, but at this point, I have more than enough knowledge on how admin commands work.

1. How would you engage with two players having an out of character altercation?
I would approach the matter unbiased, and with a level head. I would firstly ask that the OOC issue be brought out of the public to a DM if they cannot come to an understanding. I would ask the two who did what went wrong, and how I can help. If it was a less than serious matter, and just a petty argument, I'd suggest that they both take some time to calm down, and try to come to a logical understanding. If it was a more serious issue I.E a player seeking to instigate arguments, or hunting down a player just to make their gameplay miserable, I'd ask a second admin to help me look into it, get both sides of the story, and punish as needed.

2. What should an admin do if they're involved in a situation that needs admin intervention?
I would tell the other player that I am calling for an admin, after which, I would ask a second admin to come and act as a third party in the situation. It pays to have an unbiased power in the situation. If no admins are present, I would notify the player that they would have an easier time reaching one through the discord server. I would try to remain in contact with them until another admin can respond to the issue.

3. How should an admin determine in what way to punish someone who breaks the rules?
The admin should take a long look at both the severity of the situation at hand, any past rule-breaking or other issues caused by the player, and the implications behind their actions. If the issue at the time was minor, and the player is known to be relatively cooperative, and not a troublemaker, I would let them off with advice, a warning, or both. On more serious issues like repeat offenses, self-antagonizing, or constant OOC hostility, then notes, suspension or banning would be considered, but not jumped to until the situation is fully understood, and an amicable solution would be useless, or impossible.

4. Under what conditions should an admin de-admin themselves while playing?
When playing as a character in the round who is not in an important position. IE, any head of staff or antagonist. Though, an admin should ONLY knowingly take part in the round as a character when there is an ample supply of admins to handle any altercations.

5. What is expected of an admin on Citadel?
Admins are expected to maintain the peace, and to always go into a situation with a calm attitude, an unbiased opinion, and with a level head. Admins are expected to remain compassionate, and to treat everyone on this server with respect, disciplining only when a better solution is impossible. Admins are expected to lay the foundations for players to build off of, so they can make the server a treat for themselves.

It's Cata! Ey!

You left when i did, for similar reasons to me, I'm back as a Game Admin, I don't see why you shouldn't be as well. While you were here, you did a great job.

+1 From me.

You're tearing me apart Lisa. Dean is generally a good bean, and tbh, I would like him back.

My only reservation on this is, is how you left originally but I'm willing to forgive that.

Not an admin but, thought I should weigh in on this cus while I loved Cataclysmanic on the server as an authority figure/a standard for some good ass roleplay, they also to me as a player at the time abandoned the server when it needed support after Enzo left. Afterwards jumping to another server as their administrator and then leaving when things went wrong leaves that same taste in my mouth, unless the leaving in this new case wasn't by your own choice. I think for me the fact that you're a great player who is knowledgeable about quite a bit would make up for this, but you've shown you're not going to stick around when the going gets tough and fix the major problems you see unless they're easy. I would really support this application if I knew for sure you were reliable now but you disappointed me as a player who hoped you would have stuck it through and done more to change the state of things while they were not as good.

Edit: Cataclysmanic has destroyed my concerns with facts and logic like the amazing athiest he is. Good shit to hear honestly and I'll say my mind's been changed. Man is ready to give it another shot and do the things he legitimately just couldn't do before. I hope you didn't take my post personally chief and understood my concern and shit like that chief.

As for Vesta, I did actually try to help them. For months. Go to any administrator there, ask Enzo, he worked there briefly as well. They'll all tell you I fought tooth and nail to try and fix that community. Only reason I left Hestia was because the Host took a complaint I had with the direction the server was going, and how toxic the community was becoming because their rules fucking sucked, they refused to acknowledge their team, and that they kept overturning bans on players that were well deserved, and needed.

Their words, and I quote, in response to my complaint. "Lmao deal with it."

The reason I left Vesta was because the host themselves clearly didn't give a shit about the community they were running, even if it looked like it. So in any case, there really was no reason for me to stay.

I didn't leave Citadel because the issue wasn't an easy one to solve, I left because the few people who inspired me to work there had thrown in the towel. At the time, I was wholeheartedly new to administration, I was still a trial administrator for Christ sake.

I left because I was helpless to fix any of the issues that were popping up. I left because at the time, I lacked the ability as an administrator to handle what the community was facing. As of now, I'm ready, and I know I am. After going through the gauntlet of Vesta administration, and putting my heart and soul out there, I think I can do it now.
