Experience

How long have you played SS13?: 7-8 years

How long have you played on Aurora?: 6-7 years

[How active on the forums, discord and/or server are you? I'm fairly active on the forums and discord, usually playing at least one round a day and hanging around as a ghost at other times during the day depending on what I'm doing outside of the game.

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No

Have you ever volunteered as moderation staff for any other servers, SS13 or otherwise?: I was the Head Moderator for a time at CM back in 2015. I was also CCIA during 2015-16 here on Aurora, back when it was called DOs.

Do you have any other experience that you believe would be relevant to a position in the CCIA?: No

Personality

Why do you want to join the CCIA?: I want to help out with the server in general, but I also want to help drive the interactions between the station and the Odin. I feel like it's an avenue that has tremendous potential when used properly during rounds, and has provided great narrative to me in the past, and I want to be able to help provide that for others.

What do you think are the most important qualities for a CCIA Agent to possess?: Having good judgement goes a long way in handling IRs, as well as being able to sift through witness testimony well, asking good questions. Good judgement also applies in general behavior, I feel. I also believe empathy is important - nobody likes having their character punished, and understanding that frustration goes a long way, in my experience. Also just being helpful - there's a few different areas of IC procedure, regulations, etc. that people might find confusing, and being able to help them understand that goes a long way.

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is in an ongoing round?: I think the purpose of CCIA in an ongoing round is twofold. The first, and I'd say main purpose, is to assist (when necessary) in driving the narrative for a round (within reason). For example, if a merc team shows up with proper paperwork and faxes are shot off to Central, to notify Command that, if they have the proper paperwork, they possess authorization, as opposed to allowing Command to just shut down any sort of narrative. Another component of this is responding to faxes from the station in general, be them about antags or not, to provide a more immersive feel, and story opportunity, as opposed to nothing at all. The second purpose is to curtail ongoing tomfoolery, if notified. For example, the station remaining at red for an extended period of time with no reports, or being faxed that a member of command has ordered something completely outrageous 5 minutes into the round. 

What do you think the purpose of a CCIA Agent is outside of the server?: Outside of the server, I feel that CCIA's purpose is in both handling IC misconduct through the incident reporting system, but also discussing ways to improve CCIA interaction in-round, clarifying confusing IC matters (ie. SOP, regulations), and just being helpful members of the community.

How do you handle stress?: I handle stress very well, for the most part. I've worked in a fast-paced, high-stress job for several years and am able to handle it very well, and make split-second decisions while remaining calm, under pressure. Obviously CCIA is not a role where I would expect to be making split-second decisions under pressure, but I feel that the experience I have in handling those situations helps me handle more "long term" stress, so to speak, in just sitting back and taking a breath if I begin to feel stressed out.

How well do you work autonomously?: I work well autonomously. My current job is essentially an autonomous software development position, so while I might need clarification, or ask for help when necessary, I spent 90% or more of my time working autonomously on various tasks.

Additional Notes: None

Hi, thanks for applying, but I won't be accepting this one.

I feel that the incident where you just defied that CCIA action on your character, proceding to make a new one with the same job and same name with only a few letters changed, out of spite, to not be of the quality of staff members that should be on the team.
