Tacaemarr

@Desven Thank you so much for such an extended feedback, which I'll have to process and realize for a week at least! Be sure that the shift I shared with you as Chernikovskiy, my application and especially your review of all this just influenced and will influence my future decisions and the change in basic concept of my characters. My own thinks and some staff tips given pushed me to create few more characters, and not just loop on one of them. I didn't give up on Chernikovsky, but just temporarily stopped with him while developing several concepts for additional characters. That was actually my main mistake making my characters' main goal to be career growth, each shift now I'm looking forward for new connections and getting known among the crew. Ain't rushing in time anymore, gotta think at everything twice and thrice before stepping on something important. Damn now that looks as some diary notebook with the to-do list, tho that might be right as I'm really looking forward to such great roleplay improve and appreciate all the feedback and said above. I get the positive and negative sides of my play, trying to expand first and fix second (however it oftenly gets out of hand as you mentioned in our shared round, but let it be my starting point)

Thank you for the feedback, I was told literally the same yesterday so I had to rethink the most of Moroz character? While I do actually try to get commanding initiative in most situations officers are involved, I'd however not say I do frequently argue with commanders above me. I do still understand Moroz is an officer, so he must subordinate heads, as he do. Regarding the situation of me telling HoS "going too far" as beating laying down guy, that is a part of Moroz soul «don't beat the laying», tho guess it can be considered as very much «arguing to head». I will keep it in mind!

Hello, reader. Hopefully, you've got on this thread just after the shift and some RP with me, so you could've leave some feedback. I'm looking forward on posting a command whitelist application, but beforehand I'd just like to gather some comments regarding my character and advices, so please take this thread as it would be my actual HoS application! ? post.scriptum: I do appreciate all feedback, either would it be positive or negative, but what do I appreciate more is advices and tips. If I've done something wrong - I'd really like to know your position and your thinks about what should I've done instead, so I will try to change it next time (of course if it is argumented and justified).

A very pleasant and understanding character, with whom I got very pleasant to talk and carry out the shift. The head of personnel that everyone needs! +1

So the one more excuse. Yes, the round was less than good, but there were reasons for this - delayed reaction. I became Interim HoS too late, once when the mercenaries landed and set part of the crew to their side. I honestly tried to convince them that it would end with blood and murder, that they would lose their jobs and would not be able to return to work in the same status. I also has been consulting with the acting captain all the time, but this is my application - so I will answer only for myself, and won't be justifying by the actions of other heads.

Thank you for the feedback, after all, I have to gather all the comments, not just good ones. If you want any of justification mean, I'd say the shift was very specific and not that easily contolable. A crowd rushing for power - is a crowd rushing for power. I won't refute some of my own actions that might be taken too long and perhaps some incompetence in ~some~ matters, but I'd just say it been too late to take situation under control of what you're talking!

I have not comletely think through the theory of switching from Zavodskoi to NanoTrasen, as I considered it... Not necessary enough, but in general I agree that it would look very weird, so I suppose, either I should agree and not promote Aleksander in place of the head and create a new - more reasonably suitable character. Or to justify Aleksander with another legalized reason of not seeing any further prospects as an employee of Zavodskoi and joining NanoTrasen. I'll leave that to the decision of staff.

BYOND key: Tacaemarr Character names: Aleksander Chernikovskiy How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Since 2018 January (2018-01-30) Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: What could be more delightful than commanding and then taking responsibility? Only commanding and taking responsibility in Space Station 13, where the commander's decision can mean whether the station will be blown up or the nukops will leave in peace! As a whitelisted commander I'm given an actual opportunity to influence rounds, and hopefully making it fun and remembering for others, who got the luck to play with me! Why did you come to Aurora?: In those years of 2016-2018 I actively played on Paradise Station and TG, but after a while I began to find these servers... Boring, or what? I got tired of them, and just at that time I was starting to get in with the roleplay movement. I searched, tried different servers, and here it is, the moment of truth - I find Aurora staying on my way, shining bright and dragging me out not for a month, but then for a years. I realized that this is exactly what I need. I haven’t played anywhere but Aurora, and to be honest, neither now, with the exception of rare events on the CM and private sessions. Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Aurora’s wiki is my favorite book I’m reading my whole free time. Yes I did. Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they?: I have received, ugh, pretty much warnings starting from 2018 for minor and not that minor incidents (my biggest one was an antag ban, which I had removed successfully then - https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/14275-accepted-tacaemarrs-unban-appeal/?tab=comments#comment-135493). However, I do acknowledge all of them and haven’t receive anything for a while ;-; It is surely not the point I must be proud of, but I’ll be hopefully getting any chances on that application regardless of my past, as most of the warnings were related, indirectly or directly to my antag routine. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph each Give a definition of what you think roleplay is, and should be about: RolePlay has many definitions for different people, but for me it is a structured world in which the lives of my characters are valued as if I was appreciating myself. There is a difference between you and "you." You are the person playing the game, pressing the keys and clicking the mouse. "You" is your character. "You" does not know everything you do. You know what's being said in OOC chat, who killed you 10 seconds ago, and who's currently playing the server based on the *who* tab. "You" doesn't know these things, because "you" is an entity that exists solely in the game world, and has no knowledge of anything else. "You" interacts with other players in the game the way "you" would, not the way you would. You are not a mercenary, while "you" might be. "You" exists in a world governed by mega-corporations, bluespace and space carps. What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: The main purpose of the commander - is to be responsible to their department, and the interactions of players with it. They give tasks, rule the situation, and primarily - not allowing players to get bored, if the round is, put it mildly, “going too smooth”. In the absence of other heads, in a situation where you are the only department head on the station, you assume the role, responsibility and duties of an acting captain, who is responsible not only for his department, but also for the entire station and personnel. In the event of emergency, intruders, or a sudden donut sale, you are the first person to decide further actions. What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: Same as an antag, “You drive the Story”. You are, primarily, responsible for the shift and how players will remember it. A boring softy captain who can’t do any shit but pressing an emergency shuttle button at the 30 minutes of round, or a chief, getting the initiative in his hands and trying to roll the situation in the favour of crew members and further warm OOC and IC memories. Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career?: None of the more or less major past events does directly affect my character - Aleksander Chernikovskiy, a former employee of Zavodskoi Interstellar. What does the former mean: the internal conflicts of Zavodskoi contract service, misunderstandings among the superiors, betrayal on the part of some colleagues, in whose assistance Aleksander was suspected, forced him to leave the corporation and contract service with NanoTrasen as a Zavodskoi corporate collaborator, joining the NT on full rights and grounds. What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted?: Head of Security primarily, would like then to discuss the possibility with an administrator to play Corporate Liaison. Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking: Alexander Chernikovskiy, the Head of Security. How would you rate your own roleplaying?: 8/10 Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes, I do. Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles?: Yes Extra notes: OwO

BYOND Key: Tacaemarr Total Ban Length: Permanent since 23rd May of 2019. Banning staff member's Key: Flimango Reason of Ban: Lack of roleplay as an Syndicate traitor. Sabotaged checkpoint and captured the shuttle without any previous preparations, neither hostages nor warnings to the crew. Reason for Appeal: A trivial and cliche phrase - I understood my mistake and got enough of punishment. Playing security made me understand how important it is to be a good antagonist and roleplaying with crew, not robust rush nor play for objectives. I want to return for antagonist roles and mend.
