Schmuck Lord Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) CCIA Staff Application Basic Information Byond key: Schmuck Lord Character names: Joseph Lock, Edward Carja, Optikam Ratkh Age: 20 Timezone: Mountain Standard time What times are you most available?: Times entirely depend on IRL work schedule as I work graveyard shift. Normally its 2pm-10:pm or the reverse if I'm working Experience How long have you played SS13?: I've played SS13 since high school, so thats about four to five years How long have you played on Aurora?: Coming on 3/4s of a year How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you? I'm active in viewing the forms and seeing whats what, its a past time, if I'm involved in something I will comment. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Nope! Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: This is the first application I would've made for any SS13 related moderation staff Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: Some would say my experience as an Admin on a HL2RP server on Garrys Mod is experience, others would tell me I'm an incel. Personality Why do you want to join the CCIA?: Well the more I play aurora the more I find myself wanting to be involved in the pseudo-over world of the game. Particularly with tabletop games I enjoy helping facilitate story through shaping the world around characters and while CCIA is definitely not the same as that, it fulfills all the same spots in my brain. What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: ICly a CCIA agent should already possess qualities of loyalty and diligence in regards to corporate interests before receiving the loyalty implant. Say from that they need to be the ultimate impartial judge as it pertains to the majority of their duties. This would make them relatively detached and logical people, introverts, not to the point of social anxiety or awkwardness, but enough to be able to curb their empathy so they can make the legalistic decisions they must to uphold NanoTrasen's standards. Truly, the best CCIAA should be a cold and calculating investigator, almost sociopathic in their devotion to NanoTrasen policy. OUT OF CHARACTER, CCIA should be effective judges of character while being an impartial judge. They must be fair and reasonable in all deductions and decisions in their investigation and consider all possibilities, leaving no stone unturned. Probably most importantly though is that their server image be truthful and impartial, in other words, respected. Any decision made by a CCIAA without these qualities is sure to lead to resentment from the affected players and the collapse of a very important IC system to develop and police the servers characters. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: In the ongoing round the role of CCIA is not to push the round forward or even facilitate conflict in most cases. They are a reactionary element for the crew to look too for guidance and clarification. The best way to illustrate this is with two examples, the first in which a Head of Staff faxes Central Command in regards to the authenticity of a 'Surprise Inspection' that is occurring on shift by unauthenticated personnel. Replying to this fax is most cases would go against the purpose of CCIA as it would accelerate the round to its end point, this is not the main role of CCIA. The second example being the fax sent by a Head of Staff member updating Central Command of an ongoing infiltration attempt detailing actions taken by both staff and the infiltrator. Whatever those actions were, the CCIAA's response for this should be organized as follows: Acknowledgement-Advisory-Information. Central Command will acknowledge for example, the loss of vault contents, advising the return of those contents or the recoup of those losses, and information regarding how Central Command is reacting to the report, whether that be Civil Protection preparing at the dock, the NDV Icarus maneuvering to intercept a shuttle. CCIAA should react and make characters feel as though they exist in the world, they are an over world IC function that is in place to simulate a living breathing world. It adds authenticity and immersion, which is the most important thing of all. What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: Outside the server, CCIA are very much observers of sever culture and roleplay. I think a responsible CCIA is at the very least looking into the kind of interactions between characters happening outside of round on the various platforms, be it Discord, the Forums, so on so forth. Furthermore I think CCIA are commentators on the realism of the world and what kind of lore and characters would be authentic or not authentic, since they play a direct role in the over world. Overall, CCIA should be involved in all things relating to the roleplay happening in the community and observers of what the people want their immersion to be like so that they may reflect that accordingly within their roleplay of the over world. How do you handle stress?: Pretty well, the only situations where I am genuinely stressed and cranky is when I'm late or when I misplace things. Otherwise I only experience minimal salt levels. Also I play Head of Security How well do you work autonomously?: Autonomously I'm able to assign myself tasks and follow by a set of guidelines given to me, working on my own has never really been a problem as long as there is reference to the work.
