Experience

How long have you played SS13?:

I have been playing SS13 for the greater part of 2 years now.

How long have you played on Aurora?:

I believe I am nearing 1 year on Aurora this month or possibly already have surpassed that.

How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you?:

Sadly, I cannot say I am extremely active on the AuroraStation's discord server. I am however fairly active (posting and keeping an eye on) on the forums and do my best to keep tabs on both.

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:

I have never been banned from AuroraStation.

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

Aside from operating & moderating a small, private TGstation build that was run amidst a fairly closed group, I have not ever worked in an administrative position in an SS13 community. However, in regards to overall experience as a moderator I can say I have a bit more experience. I have worked as an administrative member in various other gaming communities (eg. ML700th, an Arma III unit maintained and operated by a fully fledged NPO gaming community/server hosting company) and discords. From an overall standpoint, however, I would say I am generally green when it comes to this.

Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?:

None that are really of any note. I have had experience in a performance manager type of job before, but not one that is classified as a real job.

 

Personality

Why do you want to join the CCIA?:

To put it simply; the unique opportunities provided by joining the CCIA. Ever since I had become aware of its existence, I had a vested interest in the CCIA for the prospect of IC moderation and event hosting. Through the position of CCIA, I want to work to aid the community by ensuring adequate transparency, fair treatment of characters during the IR process, and bringing new ideas to the table. Alongside this, the idea of being able to host canon events (or so I’ve been told) is something I am extremely excited to look into. Hot take, this server is in dire need of some more mini-events, and I adore hosting those sorts of things (given adequate permission and administrative presence).

What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?:

A CCIAA no doubt holds a position of authority that is difficult to challenge, henceforth an agent MUST uphold a strong character to ensure that the IR process is a fair and just one. Honesty and patience are two critical qualities for an agent to have as it is necessary to ensure the validity and integrity of the IR process, an equally important part AuroraStation. Alongside this, an agent must be efficient and thorough in the way they work. Even the slightest of mistakes can lead to serious repercussions IC, and possibly even OOC, so a strong, efficient, and thorough work process is no doubt extremely important to an agent.

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?:

The purpose of a CCIA agent during a round can vary greatly, and an agent should take careful note of all circumstances before acting during one. Some of the most important roles of an agent are: To act as a guiding hand for on-station command and crew by representing NanoTrasen Central Command via faxes and possibly even holocalls. To help further gimmicks by providing realistic and genuine reactions to happenings on station from a higher off-station power (should they be reported), and otherwise add to the universe in a unique and engaging way.

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?:

Outside of the server, a CCIA agent is expected to actively seek and participate in the IR process as an investigative force to ensure adequate enforcement of IC rules beyond in-round action unless otherwise deemed necessary. Alongside this, agents should be upstanding members of the community who should strive to promote a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Possibly, they may even be seen as a source for guidance in regards to station regulations, conduct, and procedure.

How do you handle stress?:

Personally, I handle stress extremely well, but that is not to say I am impervious to it’s effects. The strategies I most often employ are simply stepping away from the cause of stress and returning when I feel ready to tackle the obstacle in an effective manner.

How well do you work autonomously?:

Generally I work fairly well autonomously, but at times life will demand my attention and I would be a fool not to focus on it.

I remember that at the tail end of August you were very negative in LOOC about staff and antags, the latter of which you would be directly interacting with as CCIA and making or breaking their gimmick. In fact, I remember quite clearly that you used some very colorful adjectives. What changed since then? Why should I trust you now to not commit the same mistake?

I totally understand the concern here, and I’m grateful you brought this up as it’s important to acknowledge during the application process and it’s critical for me to acknowledge my mistakes.

 

Here’s what I have to say about what happened in August: What I did was inexcusable, and I am sorry to those who were hurt by the things I said. Nothing I can do will change the past, so all there is to do is acknowledge what I did, apologize, and grow from it. I made mean spirited comments, said rude and hurtful things, and failed to uphold my moral duty to be kind to others.

 

Because of what I did, I rightfully lost my command whitelist and have a black mark that will remain on my name as long as I am here. The conversation with an admin that I won’t name was the eye-opener in this case, and I realized that I was allowing my frustration boil over and manifest in horrid behavior. Since then, I have made consistent efforts to better myself not only as a community member but as a person. I acknowledged my shortcomings in the past and used that as a learning experience to better handle my frustration and to never let it boil over like it did in August.

 

I’ve no doubt had times where I aired my grievances and for that I am sorry, and I never wish to cause anyone harm with the things I say, even if unintentional. Whether you trust me not to make the mistake again is ultimately your choice, and I am in no place to try to sway your judgement. All I will say is that I have changed for the better, I have acknowledged my failures and grown from them, and that I promise not to let it happen again.
