Personality

Why do you want to be a moderator?: To help out the server and its population. The players and staff are pretty chill, so I want to contribute to keeping it like that as well.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: In regards to online behavior, people can blow their lid, talk shit and have a tantrum all they want. It doesn’t faze me all that much.

Interview with the player:

 

Alberyk - Hoje às 17:16

Hello, are you ready for the interview related to your mod application?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:17

Ready as I'll ever be, I suppose!


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:17

Alright, now, most of these questions will be posed in a, "what would you do in this scenario," fashion, some will have much more simple answers. If at any point, you'd like me to clarify on something, all you need do is ask. Ready to begin?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:18

Roger. Hit it.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:18

First question. A new player joins with the character name "Tom Hanks", a bald 30 year old assistant. Our database shows their account is 2 days old. What do you do?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:20

I'd hit him up with a message, telling him his name doesnt meet the naming standards that our server has. Then I'll just swap his name to something acceptable (If I can that is), and politely tell him to change his name to something proper for the next time he joins.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:21

Alright, second question now:

You receive an adminhelp from a player stating that they have been permabrigged for no reason. How do you respond?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:23

Would asking him yield any answers? Or will he just stick to his "I didndu nuffin"?

If so, I'd hit up the warden, asking for some clarification to the issue and take it from there.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:29

Alright, got it.

You are sitting in the lobby, working on your characters. It is dead hour. You are the only staff online. You suddenly see a flood of attack logs, originating from two sources. One is a player to recognize as a security player, using their well known security character. You don't really know them that well beyond this. The second is a name and a ckey you don't recognize. Both are shooting one another with lethal weapons, it seems. What do you do?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:30

Do I know the gamemode? And are either of them antags?


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:30

None of them are antags, and you know the gamemode


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:33

Is the other party involved an officer?


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:33

Yes, a sec officer.


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:36

I would let them finish up with their altercation, then I would most likely message the person left standing and ask them for an explanation of to what is going on. After getting answers from the first, I would then move onto the second player if there were anything that needed additional clarification.

As I see it, if its an IC issue, I shouldnt butt in too much. But if its something ooc related or something that spills into (l)ooc, it needs to be nipped in the bud.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:38

Alright.

Next question:

You receive an adminhelp suggesting that a player you know very well, but have never actually had to deal with as a moderator, is powergaming. A quick check of them shows that they, as an engineer, are engaged in combat with 5 heisters on the engineering outpost using improvised weapons they have made for themselves. A crossbow and a baseball bat. They are winning decisively. Three of the heisters are dead already. One is bleeding to death in crit. The last surviving heister is the one that sent the ahelp, and are currently fighting the engineer, but losing. You estimate in another thirty seconds at most, the engineer will have killed him too. Go.


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:40

Hoh boy.. Well..

Was the gamemode known to them?


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:41

No, secret.


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:51

The real issue here would be to wind or not to wind I think. I mean, this one person is basically ruining the round for 5 people + any scenarios these five could have initiated. This is a tough question tho! But I think in the end, I would have winded them and given them a talking to, allowing the remaining surviving heisters to retreat and regroup if they had the capabilities to do so, hoping that some of the round could be somewhat salvaged. I think I would most likely be asking for help from someone with more experience in regards to how to proceed, aswell as giving them a warning for their unsportsmanlike play.

Sorry for the wait, it was just.. Tough to process an answer.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:52

No problem, now, next question;

You receive an adminhelp suggesting that a player whom you consider yourself close with and a good friend to be metagrudging them as a head of staff. You are the only staff online, and no one is responding on Discord. How do you proceed?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:58

I would ask him for more details and logs if possible, then I would move onto my friend and ask them what the deal was. Depending on their reply and evidence provided by the other, I would verbally warn them if this behaviour was relatively recent, and write up an actual warning if this has been a serious issue the other player has experienced for some time.


Alberyk - Hoje às 17:58

Are there any forum-related duties you would be interested in taking up, assuming you reached the status of a full fledged moderator?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 17:59

Personally I dont think Im a very good fit for forum moderation. Sorry!


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 18:00

But who knows, it might change over time.


Alberyk - Hoje às 18:00

Alright, a final question. If you were a staff member. Would you change something? Would you make something different? Staff policy, rules, etc.


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 18:01

I would rework the CNC rule just a little, allowing captainized characters to atleast be allowed to visit when there is another captain on duty. Other than that, not really!


Alberyk - Hoje às 18:02

Are you against me posting this interview in your mod application thread on the forums?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 18:02

Nope, go right ahead.


Alberyk - Hoje às 18:02

Do you have any question or anything else related to the interview or application?


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 18:03

None at all


Alberyk - Hoje às 18:03

That is all then, thank you for your time.


Pratepresidenten - Hoje às 18:03

Thanks for taking the time aswell o7
