Glasser Trisk HOS application

[MrGlasses]

Usual character name: Glasser Trisk
BYOND username: MrGlasses
Discord username (if you are on our discord): MrGlasses
Goon servers you play: Monty!

Reason for application:
I believe at this point in how long ive been playing on Goonstation I have the experience and security judgement required for the HOS job, (knowing when to be strict and when to be lenient for the fun of the game) 
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I first started off as your lowly assistant, barely knowing how to ticket people let alone arrest them or use secmate (Thank you Dr.Puggers for taking your time to teach me this when I was new!). I then transitioned into an officer where at the start I was probably much more trigger happy with arrests, but after taking the time to learn the game better by both playing more challenging roles as well as antags, I have a better understanding on how to keep the game fun while also knowing when you should be more strict for the safety of the station. I now mostly play as detective as overall I prefer the aesthetic and feel of playing detective (While also being an inside rat when Im an antag   ). 
I have also played as HOP (When captain is dead or cryod) and Captain and have coordinated with sec in order to have a more orderly station. This includes one time when I as HOP (acting captain since captain had died/cryod I cant remember  ) had to unfortunately fire a sec officer for abuse of power, in which they attempted to space a monkey mime for being annoying and saying they would do it again even after I attempted to explain they couldn't do that. 
One time I was the captain, everything was going fairly smoothly helping sec arrest traitors etc. When suddenly we had a report of a changeling. Slowly my entire sec crew was dwindling, until it was just me and two officers. I noticed this and had told the remaining sec offs to group up and not to go alone. Then after having reports that the chaplain had eaten I head over to the chapel, where I and one of the other officers find the changeling. It did not go well, the changeling was prepared and had ambushed us with sec gear nearly killing me and successfully stinging the sec off I was with. I was quickly extracted by the AI before I too was eaten. After being healed I knew the officer I was with had died, I ran over to the armory and opened it, supplying myself with a riot shotgun and flare ammo. The lights then shut off (Due to engineering losing the singulo) Thats when I saw him, the officer I was with. The changeling had taken their form in an attempt to surprise attack me, I knew they were a fake. I shot them in which they revealed their form in an attempt to kill me. But I was crafty kiting them and shooting them with flare shots and rubber shots to knock them back. It almost had me when luckily the last officer came in to help. They certainly did help and distracted the changeling long enough for their DNA points to run out and for them to go back into human form, where I shot them until they died. It was probably the most horror movie vibes I ever had from a SS13 round where I had to pretty much save the station from a single ling which is why I remember it so vividly. 

Answer two or more of the following:

• What advice would you give to other sec players?
  Personally I find it better to be more lenient in the beginning of the round, and as the round progresses become more strict towards the antags. As this playstyle allows for the antags to have more time to become a proper threat while also allowing you to bash heads with them causing conflict that should result things becoming more intense. That said if someone is being overly aggressive in the beginning (such as killing or obviously using contraband.) don't be afraid to do your job as it wouldnt make much sense in RP to allow such events as part of the security team. 
  
• What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
  I think an ammo type should be added to the armory, specifically I noticed that there exist equipment (Clock 180) that simply cannot be used in the roleplay server as 9mm ammo only exists via scavengers or admemes. As 9mm does exist in the server for the scavengers I think it only makes sense that the armory should contain a few magazines of 9mm as well specifically for this equipment. Plus the Clock 180 is so fucking cool but we never get to see it because of this!
  

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

[*]What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
Clown detective. Thats right. I combined the two worst things, a clown and someone with authority.
[*]Draw a picture!
I introduce! Silly BEE!

God why did the text come out like this....

Every time I've had a shift with Glasser on the team they've always been a pleasure! Strong positive recommendation from me! Totally agree with having 9mm in the armory as well. Good luck with the application!

I haven't seen Glasser around too much, but the times I have raised no concerns. I have yet to see any instances of taking leadership, however. This is not to say that there have been none; it is simply that I haven't seen any. Given some more demonstrations of leadership and teaching in security, I would be comfortable giving Glasser a +1.

Also- 9mm does exist in the armory, in the ammo dispenser. You can dispense a few magazines, then order a resupply via cargo. They're just rarely used.

Personally, I have hardly seen them around security a whole lot myself, so I cannot say much in regards to their actions, teaching, or leadership in an officer role. However I can speak about an experience I have had with them that related to security. Contrary to the advice they've given regarding leniency and strictness, I could not help but to notice them being incredibly overbearing as an artificial intelligence in a gangs round. From my point of view at the time, they were hardly giving them any chance to do much at all, and notifying security of every small thing that was occurring. Right now that would leave me concerned to see them in the HoS boots. A -1 from me for now.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! I have recently been playing sec a lot more (Mostly detective), and hope that you will get the chance to see me in action!

I would like to discuss about your interaction with me as an AI during the gang rounds, as to my understanding playing an AI if I were to see something illegal (And I have standard Asimov laws) I should inform sec of the situation as often that is all the AI can really do unless a law change was put in place. In your opinion should the AI pretend they did not see something to give the antagonists more leeway or was it perhaps another action I took as an AI that was more overbearing that I am simply forgetting?

I've not really ever seen them don the actual officer's uniform. I can't speak for how they engage with their team as I've been allergic to security gameplay lately, but there have been a few rounds that were high-antag, high-stress, and the team seemed to be in near constant disarray. Recommend using those moments to step up, take point, and delegate rather than be at the front lines of every engagement!

To speak on the AI comment as I've played it a bit: the AI has such wide visibility on the round, that we're bound to see some illegal activity. Best thing to do is ask yourself if it's worth informing security and shutting it down, or letting the story play out. Which one is typically healthier for RP, and the like. Consider things like round time, is security overwhelmed, how's the general feel for the station, etc.

Overall, I can't recommend just yet based on my limited perspective just yet, but they've got a good foundation.

We very often miss each other on sec, i've seen a few of your antag runs though and i sadly just cannot say you have enough presence to lead. Try being more confident, more over the top, bit extra or i just haven't been able to see your fullest.
