CCIA Staff Application


 

Basic Information

Byond key: Fluffybirb

Character names: Holiday Lynn, Wilde, Kala Vanteil, (Shard of)Aether

Age: 23

Timezone: CST

What times are you most available?: All day on weekends, Tuesday/Wednesday 6 to 11pm

Experience

How long have you played SS13?: On and off since 2015.

How long have you played on Aurora?: I started back in 2015 and took a break mid 2016, and started back up in November of 2019

How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you? I usually scan the forums but don't often reply, I'm pretty active on the relay, I play multiple rounds about 4 days a week (ish)

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Back in 2016 I asked for a vampire ban due to three rounds in a row being a vampire. As a diona. So I asked for the ban to stop it from happening! The ban has been lifted recently.

Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: Nope.

Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: Well, all of my characters that I play often are command staff, and currently I almost always play Captain. I think I have a good grasp of how command works, and proper IC responses to a lot of situations. I also know corporate regulations and how they work, as well as station procedure. As a little bonus I know how to make that sweet sweet paperwork!

Personality

Why do you want to join the CCIA?: I've been playing here for a while now, and when I saw the announcement about needing CCIA I thought I would try and help out the server. It also seems like it could be really fun, and I can give people the spotlight in IRs!

What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: The biggest one is being impartial. Most of our characters are personal works we've made and developed. CCIA can help develop a character more, but if the Agent isn't impartial, it could damage or even ruin a character. Plus, since they have the final say, it needs to be fair for everyone involved. Being professional is also important. Agents represent NanoTrasen, so their conduct in IRs, faxes, and on station needs to be professional. This also helps them stay impartial!

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: I think their purpose is to provide guidance and support when needed, as well as make the world feel real and alive. If command staff has a request or report, CCIA can provide them with suggestions on what could be done for the company, or assist in some way if the situation is extreme. Personally, I also think they make the world feel more real. They give a sense that it's not just the Aurora and the boundaries of the game that exist, but a whole universe. The things we as players can't see, like the Odin, or Tau Ceti- they make it feel alive. When you send a message off to central, it doesn't have an automated response from the game. A person is back home, and replying to us, meaning there is more outside this station. Plus, they can call command out for using cursive ?

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: An agents purpose outside the server is similar to in the server. They make the company feel alive. We can see a part of NanoTrasen's bureaucracy working. Our characters are heard and acknowledged, making the universe of SS13 feel alive. They also allow our characters to grow outside the game, through IRs. Our characters can report their IC concerns, and see a physical in game result.

How do you handle stress?: Personally, I use distractions, music, meditation. Games like this help a lot.

How well do you work autonomously?: Once I understand my task, I do well. Often though, I need people to bounce questions off of.

 

Additional Notes: I'm currently in my first year of Gradschool, so my life can get busy at times. I would like to help as a CCIA, but it may get to a point where I would have to step down. Weekends are usually assured as open for me though, and I would like to give back to this community.
