Usual character name: Dave Johnson
BYOND username:Whotookgaming
Discord username (if you are on our discord): Gup#5932
Recommended by (if applicable): Curie De Roussillon
Goon servers you play: Goon 1 Heisenbee
Reason for application:I noticed while playing Sec when you don’t have a hos it makes everything less fun and more confusing. Previously I thought I wasn't robust enough to apply and but after working up the courage and playing Sec for a bit Longer I decided to try to apply to be hos because I think I have the knowledge and Teaching skills to be a HoS.
Security experience (300 word minimum):
My security experience started a bit after I got into ss13 from being arrested multiple times and executed on traitor rounds. I soon started playing sec to learn how they work but I soon fell in love with the job. I think most of my playtime came from the recent months. Playing security made me realize how important it is to stay cool playing ss13, because if you don't, no one has fun.
I feel like I have the experience with the most antagonists enough times to understand how they work and how to counter them and how to give them a fair punishment.
I think Security can be summed up in a couple points. The first point that gets overlooked by many secoffs is, you guessed it, Communication. It might Sound simple but I’ve seen many people not use the radio and die in a random maint getting their blood sucked out by a vampire or trying to 1v1 a fire elemental, or Ling. It's one of the main things I say at the very start of games including to put your disk on the table.
The 2nd Point is knowing your enemy. You don’t wanna be surprised when you suddenly start drooling and passing out when fighting a ling. An easy way to figure out the antagonists is to look at the wiki page for them. Another thing to keep in mind is to keep briging times fair, for example a clown slipped a secoff and stole their baton and isn’t giving it back, A good way to handle it is just to take the baton back and let the clown be on their way no briging for that, but if they took the baton and started beating people and running away to Narnia or Being a excessive annoyance then maybe they should get a short brig with a warning. But if a traitor has been killing a good amount of people then lethal force should be used, not on said clown that decided to do some “clowning around”.
My third point is knowing how to deal with a situation. For example If you see two people fighting its probably a good idea to ask what's going on to see if they are dueling or one of them is just trying to kill them. A 2nd scenario is that if you see someone dragging someone away from people to a maint or tunnel it may be a good idea to poke your head in to check to make sure no one's DNA is being sucked dry.
The last and most important point is TEAMWORK just because your the only sec or secoff doesn’t mean you should work alone you should work with the crew and if you have a team WORK WITH THEM they are valuable most of them are willing to risk their life to save you and you should risk your life to save them too. You should always ask your team for help or announce to arrest someone. I said some of this in my 1st point but i'm bringing it up again because it is IMPORTANT

What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
One sec gimmick I wanted to run but it's very time consuming to set up is a paper please-esk gimmick. Where you set up a border and get people to show their id to pass and have papers in order. The main problem with this one is the amount of requirements you have to get to make it. For one you have to go to mechlab and scan doors and get remote signalers, then you have to get the mats and find what wire bolts. Then you need to build it all and also set up a table with a window while you're at it, you might as well get hop to change the door to get to the back room to a custom id so people can’t just walk in. very time consuming and most people don’t wanna play along with it really.
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): One 48 hour ban for attempting to space people and being a all around annoyance to everyone as a non antag. (No banned medal though which is weird. And I’m pretty sure thats it. )
