I think I've played a good number of rounds with you on the team to offer a review, and I really like the part in your application in where you're asking for feedback so you can become a better player for the community. I'll offer some feedback that you'll hopefully find helpful, and I'll start with the negative aspects first, since I like to end on positive notes.
I have noticed some long periods of radio silence from you sometimes, and there has been a few cases you've left the round without the team knowing about it. One round it sparked off a search because we thought you were missing, only to discover you cryoed and we just must have missed the message. I believe I've heard you speaking about technical issues before, so I don't entirely blame you if that's the case, but it's something to note here. It's also a great thing from time to time to just check in with the team and see how everyone's getting on.
Secondly, I don't usually see much real leadership from you. I'm not sure if this is because you don't want to step on the HoS' toes, or you're unsure about what direction to take. In speaking for myself, I'm usually happy to have an officer step up in a leadership role, because it tends to take some pressure off me since there is sometimes a lot to keep up with. Most HoS players will step in to let you know if you're heading in a wrong direction on something, so don't be afraid to take it on. A simple "Would someone mind looking into x?" or "I'm going to check on x, could someone back me up?" goes a long way, and most officers and HoS' will appreciate this.
My final and biggest concern is some of the past behavior I've seen when you played Agent Church. (I'm pretty sure you're Agent Church...if not, this can be ignored.) There was quite a few times I've witnessed some very questionable behavior as non-antag. A HoS player represents the community, and that's something to keep in mind regardless of what job or role you're playing. Granted, I haven't seen Church in some time and have not witnessed this behavior in some time either, so perhaps this is a non issue now.
On to the positive:
When you do communicate, you're on point with what you're doing, and offer enough details to explain what's going on without adding unnecessary information. You seem to understand proper escalation of force and de-escalation, and you resolve most situations fairly. You promptly respond to alerts and requests, usually with a short message that you're doing so. You have a good grasp of security tools, know how to work SecMate properly, and you have a great attitude and approach to the job. I also recall a round in which security was being left cryptic notes, and you really displayed some innovative and outside the box thinking in your approach to the issue.
All that being said, I'm going to remain neutral on this for now. However, I really think you're on the right track. I like seeing you on the team, and I hope you keep playing security and continue to learn and grow. I hope this feedback is useful to you, and I hope to continue to see you on the team.
