Goon servers you play:3,4

Reason for application: I think that a good HoS really helps security turn from an uncoordinated annoyance into a genuine threat. Needless to say, the role of HoS is vital to a lot of rounds, and I think that I could really do well in the Beret of Pride™.

Security experience: To put it simply, I love this game, and I love being a secoff. It's taught me tons about the game and has put me in some of the best in game RP scenarios I've had to date, not to mention simply how fun it is to play security. To better understand my experience as a SecOff, i've assembled a list of the things that being a secoff has taught me.

USEFULNESS: Being a good HoS is hard, and one very important thing that you need is to be able to effectively play the game. Luckily being an officer has taught me TONS of important info about working on the station, whether that be how to pull someone out of crit, how to quickly stabilize an angry engine, or how to deal with the various antagonists the station has to offer. Overall, being a secoff has taught me how to be practically useful on the field, and what to look for when catching crooks.

FAIRNESS: One of the most important traits about being a secoff is being FAIR to everyone that you apprehend. It is absolutely VITAL to remember that behind every do-badder that you arrest, there's a real person who's trying to enjoy the game, just like you are. Because of this, being fair with your power is one of the most essential things that sec duty has taught me, and it's important to the role of HoS as well.

TRUSTWORTHYNESS: Simply put, cheating sucks. While this game dosn't suffer from a hacking problem or anything like that, it's still extremely easy to ruin a game, whether that be through killing people and destroying things when you aren't an antag, refusing a mindhack, or just being a jerk. Because of this, one of the most important skills that playing not just ss13 games as a whole has taught me is that you need to be trustworthy.
Be trustworthy to the admins, to your friends, and even to your enemies, because the last thing you want is to be the person who ruined someone else's play session.

KINDNESS: Arguably the most important one on here, and also probably the simplest one. Being nice in games is essential to having fun for anyone playing. Even if your character hates someone in-game, it's important to remember that you need to show anyone you interact with basic courtesy. There are a lot of people on the internet, and there are inevitably going to be arguments and disagreements. It's important to remember that it's just a game, and in the end we're all just here to have fun.

• What advice would you give to other sec players?
  The game is ALWAYS more fun when you are nice to the people you arrest. Most of the time they'll be able to get out if they want to, so it's usually best to be calm and kind to most of the people you subdue. It leads to better RP, better gameplay, and will overall end with both people liking each other more.
  
• What was one of your favorite security moments? 
  I was a traitor, and I got the det angry to the point that he gave up his badge to kill me, and spent the entire round chasing me down to kill me. It was INTENSE, but fun!
  
• What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
  Remove or nerf beepskeys. They are honestly the worst.
  

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?
  More just a gimmick in general, but I like playing crazy people. Just askin for crazy stuff, talking crazy, all that fun stuff.
  

Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): None
