I had my doubts about you. I remember when I saw you yell "I WILL BATON RUSH" at a few mercs. When I saw this application I thought you'd just have been denied. You weren't, and I'm glad you weren't. You turned your reputation around and you were a DAMN FINE HoS today. Hell, I liked you more than most. You have my support, bud.

will derelict survivors ever happen?

CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key: - MattAtlas Character names: - https://i.imgur.com/smuDVCx.png , my most played ones are Lelyl Kerei'Velan and Emily Cress. Age: - 17 Timezone: - GMT+2 What times are you most available?: - Anytime from 11 AM to 9 PM in my timezone, so basically the entire afternoon and some of the evening. Experience How long have you played SS13?: - Three years. How long have you played on Aurora?: - Three-ish years, with a long break in-between. How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you? - Not very active on the forums, since I don't do much there. I browse the discord daily. I'm getting my activity up on the server, but I'm trying not to overplay the game, so as to not get burnt out again. I dislike playing on lowpop, so I often lobbysit until there's a good pop to play in. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: - No. Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: - I was a moderator then secondary admin here. I was a trial moderator on CM for a short amount of time. Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: - I was an admin and sometimes assisted CCIA or took a look at what they were doing. Otherwise, no. Personality Why do you want to join the CCIA?: - It would be a nice change of pace and I've always been interested in applying, as shown by my moderator application. I'd be able to help the server with the IR backlog and I'd like to completely get rid of the trashtalk surrounding CCIA, as I told Lancer yesterday. In addition, being able to RP a CCIAA has always been very interesting from my perspective, as I initially intended to apply for CCIA rather than moderation staff, but ended up on the latter. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: - You must be impartial, since you're expected to solve reports fairly. You must have good knowledge of station directives and corporate regulations, including how they're applied. You must be able to prioritize the enjoyment of the server at large when answering faxes, due to how they can make or break a round very easily. You need to know the round flow to know how to make it better. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: - Faxes are a very important part of why being a head of staff can be enjoyable, and also serve to make the world feel alive, in a way. Getting an answer from CC has always been kind of exciting to many people. In addition, faxes can indirectly assist newer heads of staff with what decisions they can take - lastly, faxes can improve the round by creating more interactions with antagonists, assisting their gimmicks and so on. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: - Consequences having post-round impacts is a large part of why people like Aurora. The CCIA are integral to this because of the whole IR system - they're what make crimes have consequences IC, and can give characters unique roleplay avenues via interviews. In addition, IRs are vital as post-round IC punishments when something isn't an OOC rulebreak and the CCIA are instrumental for them to exist. This system is trusted because the CCIA are expected to review cases impartially. How do you handle stress?: - I was an admin. I handle stress fine. How well do you work autonomously?: - I don't need oversight to work, I would say I'm a good independent worker. Additional Notes: - lancer has the gay

Notice that I said "have to", not "can use". The ERT is perfectly capable of not using tactics and pressing LMB in a straight line at the problem. Hell, I've done it before. I just turn my brain off if I get ERT and it works anyways. The barrier is there to facilitate interaction and allow for shit that wouldn't happen at all with the ERT (arming the crew up, etc etc), which can make a better story in the end.

I agree with this, as someone who used to hate the TCFL's concept it grew on me. They're pretty cool, and having to use tactics to win isn't necessarily bad. TCFL can still bring closure to a round, mind you, the difference is in the unga-bunganess.

I'll do the former, then.

If this is a thing, then I would not object to keeping the application up. I thought from what Karolis said that trial projects were not really s thing.

Actually, I might have posted this somewhat prematurely. I'm going to ask that this is retracted for the time being.

I'm not a developer on CM. I retired at the end of April. I became a developer at the end of December. That changelog is not the full changelog and only goes down to April. This application is also not a joke. https://github.com/NonQueueingMatt

Ckey/BYOND Username: MattAtlas Discord Name: mattatlas#1523 Position Being Applied For: Coder Past Experiences/Knowledge: https://cm-ss13.com/changelog/ Examples of Past Work: Anything you can find on the CM changelog. My biggest projects there have been backend stuff - like, at one point, assisting with porting stoned MC, or fixing a particularly nasty pipe disappearance bug. I also worked on a few features like the xenomorph strains, but most of my work there has been balance stuff. I have been getting more familiar with more modern code the past few months (yes, most of CM's code is quite ancient) and I would say I'm decently confident in my DM capabilities. My biggest blunder, to date, is probably the autopunctuation that I fucked up two times in a row. Oops. Additional Comments: The main reason I apply is because I lack the creativity for projects and I'd like a bigger voice at the table for certain things. I work much better under an unified goal.

Ckey/BYOND Username: MattAtlas Position Being Applied For: Wiki Maintainer Past Experiences/Knowledge: Basically none. Examples of Past Work: I helped Chada with the ERT page and I did this, which I started today: https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=User:Datamatt Additional Comments: The wiki needs styling love and making pages look good is pretty fun. Also >waiting for modqueue.

You were pretty passive aggressive back when I was staff with you. It was easy to tell that you were burning out, and it wasn't pleasant. If you can fix that, you'd make a damn good moderator. +1

I don't actually post here often but this one caught my attention. Man's got balls of steel and a resolution of steel too. Worthy of being a moderator imo. +1

this is the gayest thread i've ever seen
