JolyneTheAwesome HoS application
#1
Usual character name: Jolyne Ngo  space bear
BYOND username: jolynetheawesome

Discord username (if you are on our discord): spacestationthirteen
Recommended by (if applicable): N/A
Goon servers you play: Goon1, Goon3, Goon4

Reason for application: I've been meaning to apply for HoS for a while, and mainly because it seems like a really fun role. I've got about 50-175 hours in security (about a fifth of my playtime, give or take it being a guess.), I'm fairly robust, and also, I play classic, a HoS is never guaranteed to be on classic.

Security experience (300 word minimum): As I have stated above- 50-175 hours on security. I never counted. I've played an extensive amount of security.
My way of security has always leaned more toward maintaining order rather than inflicting harm. While I may have engaged in some foolish actions, I have steered clear of any antagonistic behavior while in the security role. In addition to my time spent in this particular role, I've logged between 50 to 100 hours on other servers, such as Monkestation, where I've also practiced my skills in handling various threats.

I genuinely enjoy playing security; it’s a fun job that allows for a unique interaction with the station. I sometimes dream about the possibility of accessing the armory and distributing weapons and requisition tokens to non-antagonist(?) crewmembers, which could add a twist to any round. One project I made in security was building a teleport hub (not even using the remote button!) before the teleporter changes were implemented, which transformed them into projectiles. This hub was designed to connect various departments, and I used a hand teleporter to navigate back and forth. Although only two people ultimately used it, I found great satisfaction in creating something that could enhance the game for others. It was a rewarding experience to think, "You made this useful tool? Great! But we still have donuts for that."

What I love most about playing security is the sense of authority and responsibility you hold on the station—it's like having a tight grip on the safety of your fellow crewmembers. The ability to step in and assertively say, "Hey, stop, you're hurting someone!" is something I genuinely yearn to enforce (with a bigger, deadlier weapon). I believe every role in security contributes to the overall experience, making it a vital part of the station's ecosystem.

Answer two or more of the following:

What advice would you give to other sec players?: Leave your cloning disk at security, and don't hold your baton out all the time. Losing your baton isn't the end of the world, ever, you have other tools to help you apprehend criminals. 
Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer: Giving out kinetics (clock 180) for sec, more tokens, armory gear, other things! Just helping as much as I can, given that I can easily access the armory. 

Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):

Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): one in 2024, i'm not proud about it, embarrassed really, it was about AI laws + being salty in deadchat about gangs.

While I have not seen a lot of you in Security admittedly, I have seen a lot of you in the discord. I've seen you get really heated after a round, I get that it happens to everyone sometimes but I feel as if you're leaving rounds very salty often and I really don't think pinging the player you're annoyed at to send a message in all caps telling them about how they should never do x thing to you is what I'd want to see from a Head of Security. Being Head of Security in a round means that you're likely going to be in the spotlight for a lot of players, you need to be able to handle the stress and frustration that can create.

I would like to see you have more control and know when to step back from a situation where you may get heated before I'd be willing to +1 the application. I wouldn't be comfortable with you as a Head of Security currently. -1 for now.
