Goon servers you play: Mostly Goon 2
Reason for application: Lately I have grown severly attached to be playing sec - going back to the start of playing on Goonstation it has been an absolute blast working together with other members of the security staff and other crewmembers to solve the problems the station is facing.
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I guess as time moved forward I put more and more time into playing sec - for one because truly interacting with other people is most of what security does and whether one keeps the stationeers safe or is dealing with rather miniscule crimers; one can be sure that it will be a fun time.
Teamwork is key in security and even if there is a task that could be done alone...more often than not staying together and working with others is the main way to go - solely for fun like the Adventure Zones.
Using advanced game-sense on how systems interact with each other can lead to some pretty intense situations especially when the stakes are high and a wizard is running rampant or the Changeling has just stung you. Sometimes managing between catching a crimer or dragging any civillian to safety amps up the intensity even more.
But aside from dealing with dangerous criminals - the small interactions really shine. Ticketing someone for disregarding their job or even going blatantly against it - quite like a littering janitor - might lead to little fun feuds between some players and the security team as a whole; not too uncommon is said relationship build between the Clown and security. Such relationships can form in positive or negative ways and crewmembers whom one sec-team-member has helped previously might feel the need to repay the debt and help out a dying security member. Overhaul I'd say a key point to playing security is to stop escalating situations and evaluate the real threats to the station - keeping the chaos alive but at bay.
One of the most memorable relationships I have found with a specific player called Damian was through security by patrolling together and keeping communication high. I'd love to expand that even further.
Thus here I go and apply for being granted HoS; and although I know that I can become pretty heated from time to time...I hope that it is recknognizable that I at least try to keep my emotions under control and not let them get the better of me. That is also why I think it is at utmost importance as a team of security to safe those crimers in your custody from death under all circumstances. Once a crewmember has been cuffed and cannot longer help themselves - it is the job of the security team or my job as a security team-member to save and support that crimer back to full livelyhood.
Answer two or more of the following:
Also as a second point; no crimer should just be trashed at roundstart - if they died - borg them or munkey-clone them or find some other way to let them play again...because sitting around for over half an hour is also not very fun.
Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):
With greytiders we play Pong and this is because their ambitions are mostly wrong
Thus we decide to let the medic move along and help the crimers out which will bomb us before the end of thi...
Personally what I would perhaps like to run as a HoS as a security gimmick would be along the lines of military checkpoints; assign a few officers to specifc places on the map and let them build some barricades to check all traffic coming through and making sure that this area is at least a safe space to stay alive in.

Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will):
Reckon it was two times. Once on one round on Oshan...cannot really remember why - but it was either 1 hour or 1 day ban (which got lifted a minute later for some reason - even contacted the Admin back then) .
The other more severe ban was while I was playing Clown at the start of this year and overdid it with the superlube...a bunch of peeps got hurt and that was not the best thing to have done.

Answer two or more of the following:
- What advice would you give to other sec players?
Also as a second point; no crimer should just be trashed at roundstart - if they died - borg them or munkey-clone them or find some other way to let them play again...because sitting around for over half an hour is also not very fun.
- What was one of your favorite security moments? (Either playing as a sec officer or interacting with one)
- What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
- Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):
- Write a poem to convey your thoughts on security/NanoTrasen/space/bees/anything related to SS13.

- What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?

- Draw a picture!
