How long have you been playing on Aurora?: Around 7 - 8 months. (Maybe? I'm not good at keeping in track of time)

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: To help new players, keep everything organized and neat so the department can run smoothly, try to help keep the station from falling apart. Play new characters

Why did you come to Aurora?: I was just starting out SS13 and almost gave up getting into the game until I found this server, everything is paced ALOT slower and people make cool characters to interact with. 

Have you read the Aurora wiki on the head roles and qualifications you plan on playing?: Yes. I frequent the wiki often to make sure I don't embarrass myself,

- Spade has a Bachelors of Human & Xeno Biology, finished his residency and worked three years on the NSS Carina then transferred the Aurora

- Flynn got a Bachelors in Personal Protection Management in Apex & Ft Sunder Military Academy. Spent four years on active duty as a Soldier in the Frontier Alliance, discharged with two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star Medal (I'm using US medals or more lore friendly Sol. I dunno what sci-fi space military medals would be), and spent a year as corporate security for the Syndi Cake Company

 

Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? : A few bwoinks here and there when I play antags but nothing too serious.

-unofficial warning : I gene rushed to horror form and went on a killing spree without proper escalation.

-Temporary ban (3 day) : Ioned and lethally magdumped a mercenary after being ordered to launch an attack while negotiating. this has been changed to a note but I feel like this mistake of mine should still be included

 

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 is where you play a character you've created and have them interact in a world with other characters and events, you make your own story while partaking in others. Its all in all fun group effort that should be enjoyable for everyone, to create a immersive world to escape in for a while.

 

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: In game, things can be hectic without someone to oversee what each department is doing, some that are not heads of staff assume a natural leader role in departments like security or medical but most of the time this doesn't happen often. So of course Heads are employed to make sure their subordinates are doing a good job so that everything remains efficient and well so that nothing goes to shit.

CMO : Makes sure everyone is being treated correctly and lives

HoS : Makes sure all their staff is doing their job properly and keeps NT's assets safe

CE : makes sure no engineer is slacking off

HoP : Keeps the crew's morale is high and are enjoying their job

RD : Makes sure no scientists cause a horrible accident that'll ruin the station

Captain : Acts as a sort of head of staff for each department and making sure Command staff are doing a good job.

 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: If you ever played a game like SQUAD you know a good leader is important, there should be someone with enough in game knowledge to help new players, while even the experienced ones need some guidance and reminders here and there. Without someone enforcing proper communication and teamwork (and educating new comers when no one wants to) a department can be nothing but a bunch of people trying their hardest to survive on a burning station.

 

Could you give us the gist of what is currently happening in Tau ceti and how it affected your character and their career? : (I'm understanding what I can from the Wiki, this is the might be the most difficult question here)

Rising tensions within the space regarding new Xeno life form discovered and synthetic rights. 

-Henry Spade has always been pro-human but he doesn't let it get in the way of being in a professional workplace. He got used to his new Xeno and synthetic co-workers but is still wary especially with the paranoia surrounding non-humans, especially IPC's with recent incidents,  

-Flynn has spent most of his time in the Frontier, he doesn’t take long to get used to Tau Ceti as he views synthetics and xeno's in a good light despite everything that has been going on about them. He'll treat everyone equally and looks to both sides no matter the situation. 

 

What roles do you plan on playing after the application is accepted? Chief Medical Officer, and when I get more robust, I'll promote my warden to HoS

Characters you intend to use for command or have created for command. Include the job they will be taking.:

Henry Spade : CMO 

Jimenez Flynn : HoS

 

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: Somewhat average. sometimes I'm good and at other times not, but I believe I'm good enough in the aspects of teaching and commanding.

 

Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? Yes, just gotta learn from your mistakes and move on.

Have you familiarize yourself with the wiki pages for the command roles? Yes

 

Extra notes: I'm always up for feedback to what I should add to make this, my RP and SS13-ning better. And if I don’t get accepted its all good, I'll improve and try another time.

[Vizendel]

I haven't seen this player in any interim positions yet, but I will say that they RP quite well and they tend to play when the presence of Command staff is minimal.

 

Can't hurt, +1.

[HighAdmiral]

I've seen him play security, as Brett maybe twice. Both times he's been a good officer, works well with his team, and doesn't escalate situations more than they should be. Look forward to his HoS.

+1

[BearSchwanz]

Seen a lot of their playstyle and stuff, always a lot of effort towards RP especially with characters like June Solis and it's evident they have good knowledge in the departments they want a command position in.

 

+1

[ktrkhop]

I like them as both nurse and sec officer, good at the RPs and a cool player who definitely knows what they're doing RPwise and mechanically. its a big ol' +1 from me

[NewOriginalSchwann]

I've had good interactions with Solis and Feufer, so I have no doubt they can both RP and do their departments. However I absolutely despise giving empty +1s, so I have a few questions for the positions.

 

1). How do you intend to handle the upcoming changes to medical as a CMO? 

2). You are the CMO and it is a somewhat hectic round of vampire. You have a lot of patients on low blood and not enough O- to go around. You are fairly well-staffed with two pharmacists, a surgeon, a nurse, a paramedic, and a rescue robot. How do you manage this?

3). How would you handle an officer using excessive force on a detainee in an in-character manner?

4). A traitor purchases a central command update and it's absolutely absurd what they use it for. It's full of contradictions, misspellings, and weird orders. How do you respond to this as a head of staff?

 

I look forward to your responses!

[Juani2400]

Hello.

I will be handling this application. For now, please answer @NewOriginalSchwann's questions before we move on. I have a few questions of my own that I'd like answered, but I'll wait to see if some of them are answered when you reply to the previous ones.

1. Once I get this whitelist I'll have to be more frequent when reading the changelogs so that I can keep up to date with the mechanics.

2. We don't have time for a blood drive, so I'll have the pharmacists prioritize iron pill production as they restock the fridge while I handle GTR and stabilize critical patients (if there are any. if said vamp goes green) to have them ready so that the nurse can send them to the OR's for the surgeons to handle.

3. I'll gather a security team meeting regarding the incident, I'll collect everyone's point of view of what happened and judge them accordingly. if the stories add up and the officer has used excessive force, I'll have to give them the charges and write a warning for them. if they already have had a history of excessive force they will be demoted back to cadet for discipline and training.

4. Write a fax to central to confirm their most recent announcement, I'll tell the crew about the fax and to pay the announcement no mind until we get an official response

Excellent responses, I support this application. Take my

 

BIG +1.

[BoryaTheSlayer]

I'm looking forward to seeing you in trial, but I'm not as positive as Schwann regarding your responses. None of these are egregious issues, I just want you to consider some things.

Don't forget that you can now order blood bags from cargo. This is indeed a good plan, but instead of handling GTR yourself as a CMO you can have your nurse and maybe the paramedic(don't forget you have a rescue android that, with upgrades, can be very good for rescue), if things are THAT bad, to do the GTR, and the surgeon should be ready for patients. While they all fulfill their jobs, you should get going to cargo and expedite that order as much as you can. The gist of what I'm trying to say is, don't forget you can buy supplies from cargo.

This is good but sometimes you won't have time for a proper meeting and a complete interview of the entire team as well as the other parties involved in the accident. It is not to say that you shouldn't hold a meeting; it's more that you should treat it more as the time for you to bring the issue and briefly discuss it before getting back to business. You should also take into consideration the severity of the case of excessive force.

 

All in all, good luck. Don't forget that we're here to RP, and that, while you are being put in the spotlight and are expected to uphold a standard, you are still here to have fun. I feel that some of the recent command whitelist applicants have forgotten this.

[niennab]

We haven't rped in depth but I have seen great communication from Brett Fuefer in Security. It's more often than not, it seems your Security Officer is patrolling, killing carps and keeping periodic updates. I am eager to see how you do with a trial. +1

Willing to take previous mistakes seriously shows maturity and self-reflection.

[Daemon]

Beep, thanks everyone for the support,

@Juani2400 are you going to ask those questions?

[Seeli]

+1 from me. Months and months ago, I had some concerns about June Solis, but the problem behaviors stopped and Solis changed. The player shows an impressive ability to acknowledge mistakes, as seen in their application, and then change with feedback. They are also well-versed in the mechanics and responsibilities of the roles they play. Huntley, Feufer, Spade, and Solis are the characters I have seen most and are generally roleplayed well. I would like to see how they do with a trial!

[Juani2400]

Hello.

Apologies for the delay on this application. I've decided not to ask any further questions after re-reading the whole thing. Most of my doubts will get answered once I can get a grisp on how to do during your trial, since they are mostly aimed towards the practical part of it. In any case, there's something I want you to ammend before I make a decision:

You are being asked what the OOC purpose of a head is, and you replied with an IC definition. Please review this and answer the question properly.

Quote me when you do reply to this. I intend to make a decision today or tomorrow at most.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: Head of Staff position is a pretty important one, they help rounds progress steadily and drive the narrative and interaction between players, have the proper knowledge in their respective department, enough that they can teach new players or remind already experienced players in case they forget something.
Head of Staff act as a natural leader in their respective department, coordinating with their team and the rest of the crew. and like my said for the next question, without a proper role to take CHARGE and RESPONSIBILITY in leadership, than a department can just fall apart or isn't working to its fullest capability.

(and pls make guide to faxing I'm still confuzzled about that. EDIT : Found it, it was in the forum guides, not wiki)

The trial will begin today, 16/DEC/2019 and end in 7 days, on the 23rd, inclusive.

[Juani2400]

Two days to go. Feedback is still a requirement during the trial phase, since I am not able to judge the quality of your play otherwise. If this is not met by the 23rd, an extension of three days will be given.

I've also noticed you've been playing as non-Command with your new CMO, which is not ideal for the process. Please attempt to play the highest amount of rounds as Command, which should not be hard considering you've supplied two different characters for two different roles.

Good luck!

Yeah. I think that was cause I accidentally joined as a surgeon and cryo'd immidietly.
