[Denied] HunterRS's Whitelist App Trial 3

[HunterRS]

BYOND key: HunterRS

Character names: Edgar Dawnguard, Ashley Dawnguard, Starting to play the AI Athena

How long have you been playing on Aurora?: I have been on for about a year now but was inactive for about 6 months... but I am back now

Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I would like to be on the whitelist because I feel like I would be a good RD because I have had multiple shifts where I am the interim RD and it worked out well

Why did you come to Aurora?: I came on Aurora because I was bored and looking for a server to stick too

Have you read the BS12 wiki on the head roles you plan on playing?: Of course

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 the interaction of two or more peoples characters that they create. Roleplay is fun for all and it shouldn't be a thing to get mad about. After all it's just a game. Roleplay should be fun for all parties, and it shouldn't add OOC sources to changed characters. If a character doesn't like it they should ask for help during it.

What do you think the OOC purpose of a Head of Staff is, ingame?: I think the purpose of heads of staff are to keep their department running and active, and in the case of an emergency, be an acting captain to deal with a threat. The heads of staff should be able to stay calm during crisis situations and be able to control the station if needed to. Heads of staff should be able to be trusted by the people and be friendly. They should be supposed to be looked upon but all members of thier department and be someone to ask for new people if they have and questions like how to work toxins so they don't kill everyone.

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I think the OOC responsibilities of whitelisted players are to stay calm and not get upset. Whitelisted players should be a role model for people to look up to. I would uphold these because I am mostly calm unless you get me mad, which is really hard. I like to help people around and show them if they don't understand.

Please pick one of your characters for this section, and provide well articulated responses to the following questions.

Character name: Edgar Dawnguard

Character age: 37

Please provide a short biography of this character (approx 2 paragraphs): Edgar was born into a large family on Mars, with two brothers and a sister, him being the oldest. Edgars parents were engineers, designing and making ways to pressurize areas on Mars cheaply. Edgar always wanted to create and innovate items to help people. He always was with his family making new ideas for his parents to try out. When he was in school in excelled in math and science. Edgar always had a joking way to mess with people. Edgar was the comedy of his family, making funny gadgets to pull pranks on people for a joke. Edgar graduated high school and was offered a scholarship at Mars University where he attended college.

Edgar went to Lowell City College for four year, going to obtain a Masters in Robotics, wanting to make new machine and gadgets to help the quality of life. After his second year he was offered an internship as a roboticist. He agreed and was in the position while he completed his course, after Graduating he was offered a position aboard a research station by NanoTrason. He agreed and liked how it was organized and the security of the stations. He worked there for a few years and wondered how alien lifeforms worked to broaden is way on how robotics worked. As he worked there there he made many synthetics, including something have gone rogue. He has helped fuel the free synth debate by created synthetics to work for station. He questioned his line of work on how he is destroying jobs, but he continued work nonetheless, still questioning the ethnic of making robots to destroy jobs and take people's lives.

He went to Mars University and attended there for 8 years, making a deal with NanoTrason to extend his contract in for the company to pay for his tuition. Years into his studies to started working interns on various stations and labs, experimenting. When he graduated he started working as both a Xenobiologist and a Roboticist. He was then transferred to the NSS Aurora before it was decommissioned for refitting. He was then transferred to the NSS Exodus, where he has caught up with his friends and family.

What do you like about this character?: I like Edgar because he likes to mess around with people and play jokes. He would stay calm during crisis situations, no matter what. Edgar is one of my favorite characters. He has made a lot of friends on Aurora and always has a friendly attitude.

What do you dislike about this character?: One of the major things I dislike about Edgar is his ability to get arrested for small reasons. Since he likes to mess around when nothing is going on it tends to get him in trouble. At least once every three rounds Edgar is in the brig for some odd reason.

What do you think makes this character fit to be a head of staff?: I think Edgar would fit because he is mostly calm and can be very calm in crisis situations. He likes to stay positive, even during crisis situations, he would help out the people stay calm.

Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions.

How would you rate your own roleplaying?: I think my roleplaying had gotten better over the few months I was gone and that I am here to stay now.

Extra notes: I'm just throwing this out here so It can be shown if my appeal isn't changed if it is accepted just lock or delete this

Didn't you literally just get your whitelist stripped for being terrible, then throwing a hissyfit in OOC? Not really someone I'd like in charge again with that attitude until it's changed, really.

[HunterRS]

Maybe because you are your gimmick caused me to be it, I tried to let you RP but my team didn't want you to, if you think I caused it, blame my team. I only snapped because my last one took a month to get looked at.

Maybe if you realized I wasn't aganist you and wanted you to RP and I was tired and stressed out because what you were doing I didn't even know what it was, I thought you were self antagging and got staff to go with it.

Okay so, I guess I get to chime in here since I was a part of the round that ended with your whitelist being stripped. I've seen you blaming the security department as a whole for what happened multiple times, and that's kind of hilarious. You had four officers that round split up into two teams, I do remember one of the officers in team one pushing somewhat for an immediate arrest but the other from what I can recall, remained relatively silent on the issue. Even so, I distinctly remember the two officers making up team two, myself and Snoopy playing Rajirmariik and Azza respectively, telling you multiple times to get a warrant before arresting. In response we were told that you would "simply be bringing them in for questioning." and as such had no need for a warrant.

Personally I don't see how an extended period of time waiting for your app to be checked has any relevance to your temper on server, and from what I've seen your main issue has come from the backlash facing your command characters. From my point of view, you attempted to shut down a potentially interesting situation created by a member of the crew, when they attempted to argue against it, you faxed central only to deliberately look for a loophole in the response you received and make an illegal arrest. I haven't seen great things from your command play, in fact the only things that stick out in my mind are the bad, blaming your staff for your own mistakes and; even if they were pushing you toward poor decision making, it's your job to be the voice of reason and lock it down.

I have little faith you've improved in this short period and I fully expect the same quality of play we've seen up until now. -1

At that moment, I saw the warrent comment, in my mind I thought we raised to code blue for the AI, then I noticed we didn't and that is why I called it off. I realized my mistake and then no one acted on it

[HunterRS]

Staff, delete this please.... I don't want this here.

[Fire and Glory]

I can't weigh on any justifications why HunterRS lost their whitelist or on Dawnguard as a character or such.

However...

 

What do you think the OOC responsibilities of Whitelisted players are to other players, and how would you strive to uphold them?: I think the OOC responsibilities of whitelisted players are to stay calm and not get upset. Whitelisted players should be a role model for people to look up to. I would uphold these because I am mostly calm unless you get me mad, which is really hard.

 

To be frank, HunterRS seems to be for the most part switching between either sulking or lashing out at people after they lost their whitelist, starting with completely losing it when they did get their whitelist removed, after which they spent a large amount of time complaining about staff members.

Whitelisted players should stay calm and not get upset, I am not wholly confident HunterRS is behaving as one OOCly should right now, I am not saying that Whitelisted players are not allowed to get mad but I am saying that they should keep it under control and not broadcast it to other players.

I suggest taking a few weeks, perhaps a couple of months, to calm yourself and eventually, make a new application if needed after that, because your current lashing out is not making you appealing for another whitelist.

 

If you want to remove the application, I advise using the report thread button.

This is why I don't want it, everyone is just downvoting me. The only reason I lashed at loow was because it took about a month for anyone to look at it, and I had to ask Garn

[Fire and Glory]

This is just me and not something I weigh against other people on applications as a substantial factor, but personally, I think someone applying for a whitelist show an amount of confidence in themselves, if someone completely deflates after seeing opposition, and lets it be known, it throws off the feeling that they don't think they don't really think they deserve it, or believe they're just not capable of appealing to the community.

While you don't have to blindly believe you'll somehow get it, there's accepting the opposition with determination, and saying you'll revise it, make it better, or otherwise stating that you'll do what you can and try to win them over, either now or later, then there's with dignity, where you accept that the community's concerns are perhaps valid, and you won't be able to change them easily.

And then there's saying that there's no point and it should be scrubbed away...

This isn't really suited for the current application now, but should you try again, try to have an amount of confidence, it'll make a better impression on people, and even if it doesn't get your whitelist accepted, it'll give a better impression of you to the community on the whole.
