Reason for Application (300 word minimum):
I have not been playing for years, and I get killed, farted on, knocked out, slipped and honked at. I do not know every game secret, I cannot tell you how to use the artifacts room, or make you some Hairgrowium. I know though, that though I have shortcomings, I can, will, and do learn every time I log in this game, even if it is something as small as other players habits, or as big as finding my way to the Ice Moon on my own. I am always trying to find out a little more, and though it can be so hard with half the station is fires and syndicate operatives gunning down folks left and right, I persevere. Sure, I may die, and I die a lot, but it does not stop me, and never will. The major reason I want to become a Head of Security is for the experience and the knowledge. I like to think I work fine in a calm and controlled environment, and just as well in one that is hectic and hardly under the thumb of anyone. I stretch my brain to formulate a plan on how to save people, find the baddies, fix the station and order people around in a kindly and helpful fashion, be it security, or the crew. I am confident that with the job of HoS, not only will I have the added pressure of people expecting me to solve every problem, go save people on different Z-Levels, and the common attempted theft of my beret, but that I will also have the valuable experience in actually trying even harder to get those things worked out. I also welcome the effect that having an active and competent HoS can have on the crew when danger mounts or when parties must be had. I love playing this game, not just for the amazing mechanics, but mostly for the social aspect of it, and I would love to see how people act and react to me in a different light. Now, I feel as if I am a good detective. If given the chance to wear the hat, I believe that I can be a good Head of Security.
I am not the best player, and I am far from being extremely good, but I value my Station, as any job, and I always try my best to react to the ebbs and flows of the rounds in a clam, decisive manner that allows the maximum level of happiness for as many people as I can manage. I would love to have the chance to be HoS so that I can use the power granted to make the Station not only a safer place, but a happier one as well.
Security Experience (300 word minimum):
I try to play most rounds as a detective. I will commonly ask for security access as it is in my nature to catch the criminals rather than to trust others to do it for me. I am very experienced in giving orders and formulating plans with other members of security and even crew members, when their help is called upon. I will rarely cause intentional harm to others as a security detective. In my role, I will walk the halls of the station, looking out for anything odd, like broken windows, unauthorized access, bombs being put in packs, proboscis’ being enlarged, or murder. If I see something via thermals, I will alert sec with a name or in the case it is not seen, the victim, the method and the state of the criminal, with location. I will ask AI to bolt down the area or go in to make the arrest. I will try to get med on the scene for the victim and brig and question the offender.
I try very hard to be nice and foster friendships among the crew and myself. I will try to help people defend themselves by providing guard duties and I strive to help people that are in need of job assistance or finding things out. I normally act in a calm and collected manner, trying hard to find a perpetrator or even in the mundane, like helping someone with the engine furnace or cloning bodies and getting them clean SE. I am trained in all jobs and know at least the basics in all and am good at most. I can grow you pot while tending the bees and still catch the mad bomber who destroyed the tele lab before the Void Expedition came back and lead them back home. I am slightly more robust than the average space man, due to my extensive training in both physical combat and my proficiency in using sec gear to the best of its ability. I will not let players whom are acting shitty affect my mood or the round if they are trying to hurt me or other players. A stunning, cuffs and cool down in the brig for a minute will usually help solve it, or at the very least, get them out of securities hair and provide some relief for the crew. I like helping people and I like serving justice. I know I have so much to learn, but as space men, we are constantly growing.
In your opinion, what are the flaws and benefits of the current security layout (brig, cells, security room etc):
The layout for the two doors works very nice, meaning some lone guy cannot just start throwing everyone in. I also do not like those doors when you are letting one person out and four other guys try to run out. I believe some kind of flusher system would be much better. Other than that, I like the layout. For the security room itself, I think the room could use some extra footage on the left side, just for purely aesthetic reasons. That is all.
Your opinion of Shrek (5 word minimum):
I do not like the odd hype surrounding him. It creeps me out. The first movie was funny as a younger person, but now, they seem a little childish.
Previous Bans (While this will not affect your application lying about it will):
From memory, and the forums, I have an AI ban, which was for letting a round go on for far too long. I had a ban for spamming in ghost chat too, because I thought it would help the living find my murderer. I was also banned for posting a meme once in G3 and was given a few minutes, I believe. I do not know of any other bans I would have and am adamant that I do not have, or have not received any aside from the ones I stated.
