Usual character name: Mark Butter
BYOND username: MarkNstein
Discord username (if you are on our discord): Mark™#0001
Recommended by (if applicable): Leyanni
Goon servers you play: Mostly Goon1-RP nowadays. I jump on 2 for action-adrenaline and/or "grilling" on projects.
Reason for application:
Three reasons:
Initial experience was on Goon2. Typically in "lower-pop" hours solo-sec. I appreciated the advice of the wiki, stating that swapping the PDA cartridge for the medical cartridge; helping myself and crew members was a boon in keeping up relations in-round. Besides that, keeping a sharp eye out and using SecMate was a must on solo-sec 2. I'd already had antag-experience before starting Sec, so I knew the signs to look out for.
I've adopted methods of "brig on short time for minor but arrest able offences" and "negotiate or redistribute contraband". On short-offences, it's been helpful to adjust the perp's record to "Released" to track repeat offences. "Probation" for anyone who's accepted a bargain. Helps my short-term memory in-round.
Besides that, my treatment is largely adjusted to player behavior and server. Goon2 has some heavy murder-bone oriented antags, good for fights and raising my heart rate. Goon1 is about scaling to their threat level/escalation, and recognizing gimmicks vs. objective hunters.
Answer two or more of the following:

Goon servers you play: Mostly Goon1-RP nowadays. I jump on 2 for action-adrenaline and/or "grilling" on projects.
Reason for application:
Three reasons:
- I enjoy playing Head Roles from time to time, and the co-ordination that brings.
- When playing security, I've often felt like the round could use the authority / dynamics of a HoS on-shift.
- The servers (notably on RP) have had an influx of new players. Some of them are not treating the Security Officer role with good intentions. While AHelping is one corrective action, I think I can help course-correct their play-style in-round.

-
What advice would you give to other sec players?
- It's not about winning.
- Watch the chatbar - radio chatter and other important messages don't show up in the game screen.
- Familiarize yourself with your PDA. If you have two monitors: keep the PDA open to the file-manager.
- Don't strip search in the halls. Avoid pulling cuffed perps through the halls. Either carry them, or use the port-a-brig.
- Get clone scanned (or get your disk copied), and remind the doctors that they can clone you without your body.
Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
- When buddying up, I try to coordinate sub-roles. Whether that's interrogating pre-arrest vs. taking notes & gathering evidence ; who will stun vs. who will cuff ; who will go back to the sec-wing for interrogation vs. who will stay behind to catch additional perps / other tasks.
- While solo, I heavily rely on the passive device around me. Make sure the flashers are anchored in the sec-wing. Set perps to arrest and request additional secbuddies. Carry some extra stunning equipment.
-
Write a poem to convey your thoughts on security/NanoTrasen/space/bees/anything related to SS13.
- Roses, are red.
- My shirt, dyed red.
- My boots, stained red.
- My buddy, quite dead.
- That space suit, danger red.
- Aw shit, it's nukies.
What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
- Burt B. Bucklecuff, a fresh officer who just graduated Space Law Academy. Incessantly nagging their fellow officers about the minutia do's and don'ts of proper officer conduct (both real and made-up), doing way too much talking, and not enough stunning.
- Almost plain clothed but horribly (hopefully comedically) executed stings. For slow rounds where not enough is going on.
