whiterabit Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Interview with UnknownMurder: [12:57 PM] Whiterabit: 1. During a round of Ninja, you are faxed by the Station Command inquiring about an “inspector” who claims to have been sent to evaluate each of the departments. How do you respond? [1:03 PM] UnknownMurder: Although, I do have a recommended and preferred method a CCIAA can notion to in order to keep the round flowing depending on the situation. 1. The first and my recommended method is to fax a response to Station Command that regarding the fax has been received and will be checking the records for the information confirmed thus allowing the antagonist and station command to be able to make their first move. The information may be confirmed whether to be true or untrue depending on who has the upper hand, where the story is being driven to, and what are the consequences. This is to ensure that we do not step or regulate the intended RP coming from both Command and Antagonists. [1:04 PM] UnknownMurder: The other methods would appear to be reckless to jump right into confirming/deny the information as unresponsive will only lead the Command to lose trust and lessen commnication between CCIAA and players. [1:05 PM] UnknownMurder: That would be my answer to this question. [1:05 PM] Whiterabit: Similarly [1:05 PM] Whiterabit: 2. During a round of Crossfire, you are faxed by the Station Command about a team of mercenaries who have reported a band of pirates operating in the area and wish to offer their services as additional security. Command wishes your advice on the situation. How do you respond? [1:08 PM] UnknownMurder: I shall keep this answer to short and on point. I intend to fax back to Station Command that we have received their situation report and remind the station command of their responsibilities of the station. Although, I shall grant a station command whom faxed may use whatever the resources they need to resolve future conflicts knowingly that the Station Command's situation may be tough without a Captain or a Head of Security due to communication. [1:09 PM] Whiterabit: 3. You receive an emergency message from the station’s Artificial Intelligence. It claims that there is an emergency situation and requests an immediate ERT deployment. How do you respond? [1:17 PM] UnknownMurder: I would respond to the station's Artificial Intelligence via emergency message to instruct the station command to fill out the fax. IF the there are no Station Command or is Station Command is incapciticated to swipe for Emergency Response Team depending on the serverity of the issue. I may request for administrators to call emergency response team. [1:18 PM] Whiterabit: Last station based question [1:18 PM] Whiterabit: 4. You receive a fax from the Internal Affairs Agent, he claims that the Captain has been abusing his authority by removing all of the vending machines from the station and has demoted an engineer for littering. How do you respond? [1:23 PM] UnknownMurder: I would responsd to Internal Affairs Agent requiring that the said Captain is to fax to Central Command and explain his situation. Although, if Captain and Internal Affair Agents rapidly escalates for IC reasons, I may decide to board the station to resolve this reason. If it is a Revolutionary round, I would most likely side with the Captain's decision or not make a reply for antag reasons. [1:26 PM] Whiterabit: If you were required to weigh in on the issue under canon circumstances, what would your stance be? Do you think the actions described are within the captain's authority, or would they be considered abusive?(edited) [1:31 PM] UnknownMurder: Hm. If I may ask a question, what has the engineer been demoted to? [1:32 PM] UnknownMurder: Otherwise, I will assume it's to the rank of an assistant. [1:32 PM] Whiterabit: In this situation, we'll say assistant [1:32 PM] UnknownMurder: Coolio. [1:33 PM] UnknownMurder: Originally, when I weigh in on the issue; I am expected to remain as a neutral party and somewhat near like a mediator between the two parties. My personal stance on the situation is that the Captain is removing the vending machines and demoting an engineer for littering would be obnoxious. Although, coming from a professional opinion is the actions are within Captain's authority if given a proper justified reason for removing vending machines such as to increase customers attendance at the kitchen and paying to eat chef's food. Though, the same cannot be said for demoting an engineer to an assistant position that may be for littering unless the engineer has ignored frequent warnings and insists on still littering in the department. Although, if this engineer were littering outside of the department, the Captain would be expected to contact with Central Command detailing their actions leading to the demotion of the assistant. [1:34 PM] UnknownMurder: If the people feels they were threatened, they may file an incident report because the Captain has the ultimate authority of the station. [1:35 PM] UnknownMurder: This is my answer. [1:35 PM] Whiterabit: 5. In your own opinion, how much of a role should Central Command play in the affairs of the station? When is it appropriate for them to intervene and by how much should they attempt to shape the round? [1:44 PM] UnknownMurder: I'll snip a little summarized answer from Q1. "... fax has been received and will be checking the records for the information confirmed thus allowing the antagonist and station command to be able to make their first move. ... who has the upper hand, where the story is being driven to, and what are the consequences. This is to ensure that we do not step or regulate the intended RP coming from both Command and Antagonists." Although, I can't say I approve of Central Command appearing on the station every round as it would disinterests the players and make speculations that CCIAAs are needy people. If you were to wonder why I've chosen this method. It is to allow the players to have plentiful of time to interact with the antagonist and hopefully they will make their own RP without needing RP assistance from CCIAAs. It is usually appropriate to intervene and shape the round when you know the situation and understand the consequences the round may drive into. In this question #1 situation, I am choosing to shape the round by giving antag time to do what they need to do. If the antag is in heavily disadvantage and still insists on that he is an inspector, I will shape the round by confirming what the antag says is true so that the antag does not get valided. If the antag has a great advantage and went back on his claims of being an inspector (slashing and killing people), I will deny what antag's claims.(edited) [1:44 PM] UnknownMurder: This is my answer. [1:45 PM] Whiterabit: 6. What do you think is the purpose of the Incident Report system? [1:49 PM] UnknownMurder: The purpose of the Incident Report is to deal with the personnel intentionally misbehaving/doing something questionable/malicious within the character and the admins are unable to intervene on the issue due to it being an IC issue. It allows the Central Command Internal Affairs bureacracy to step in, investigate the source of the problem, discover why it escalated, and deal an appropriate punishment to specific people who unneccessarily uplifted the escalation. [1:49 PM] Whiterabit: 7. What do you believe should qualify a character for receiving significant action such as a demotion as opposed to a lighter response such as a warning or even re-training? What about a full character firing? [1:55 PM] UnknownMurder: I believe that the a character receiving a signfiicant action such as demotion/suspension is those who acted in intent of malicious or double repeated offense. Although, for those who will receive a warning or re-training is supposedly for those who acted out of good faith for sake of NanoTrasen. A full character firing is usually rarely and even should be done once you consulted with your Head CCIAA and the admin supervising CCIAA team, as far to I know you can qualify for a full character firing by multiple of repeated offense on a character or even claiming to have a contract with a different corporations. In my duration as a CCIAA, I have only fired a single person after consulting with IncognitoJesus (ex-admin) and ForgottenTraveller (Head CCIAA). [1:55 PM] Whiterabit: Last question [1:55 PM] Whiterabit: 8. After taking an IR of your own and completing your interviews, you find that an officer escalated to a forceful arrest when a crewmember resisted detainment. The original reason for the arrest is deemed invalid, however, the officer argues that in resisting arrest the crewman legitimized the detainment. What do you think would be the best way to resolve this case? Why? [1:58 PM] UnknownMurder: I do know this that resisting arrest cannot be applied to while you are performing an arrest on the original charge due to the escalation. Depending on the security officer's records, it is most likely that the security officer will receive a warning for this otherwise a demotion if repeated offense. A full character firing would not be needed in this situation. [1:59 PM] UnknownMurder: Additionally, a retraining will also apply.
