Dr. Puggers - HoS application

[Dr. Puggers]

I was holding off on my post because I was wanting another proper round where I could see Puggers in action as an officer, as they mostly mained detective. I think Puggers is a good officer that might simply still be a bit green. They're ambitious and determined, they also have a good grasp of fundamentals and I actually have seen them train new recruits just the other shift, but I do think they lack a bit in terms of communication. This isn't entirely their fault, however. What probably plays to the detriment of any officers right now is that the game, as of late, has been really hectic and busy on Goon 3, this makes it abnormally difficult to both stand out and actually get a good grasp of what you should be doing and not losing sight of what's going on. As a result of that, unfortunately, I actually almost think your application is simply made at the wrong point in time. As you are both still relatively new, and as the game has a record-high amount of players since the last year, I can't really faithfully make a call whether or not you should be made HoS at the present moment. I'd give it a few more months, both for you gain more experience and for the servers to quiet down again.

Yeah, I would agree with that. Poor communication lately would be with me spending time with new officers and since I like everything neatly organized and written down, I spend alot of time writing on clipboards and such. Mainly to keep a track of cases and actually sentence people for what they did, don't want to put someone elses crime on them in case of miscommunication.
My HoS application is mostly because of this new spike in players. Many times a new player rolls antag and gets captured, some of the officers, both new and old- tend to go a bit too harsh on the punishments, want to do searches when it's unnecessary and taking away spief PDA's. 
In rounds when there's no HoS, I'd try to get them not to do that, but with not much authority it really ends up on them how they'll act. 
I try to use LOOC to explain things like validhunting and giving antags a chance to escalate and get their plans in action. 

I agree that I am a relatively newer player and I've spent alot of time staying away from security roles because they were a little intimidating at first, that's why I like showing new sec players the fun in playing sec. My main reason as I said, is to make sure the punishments given out are not too harsh. 
And I really want to pet sylvester more often :p

As for another who mentioned me having little patience with talking to people, it's mainly because of the high pop. It is a little meta from me knowing that there are more antags than usual and I try to do as best I can as an officer. Too much crime, too little time. That's why I try to breeze through as many cases as I can and try to get as many details as possible. It is very easy for antags to simply run away in such crowded stations and if they're not marked for arrest, it's easy to loose them in a crowd. And I do take it a little to heart when I see a fellow crewmember dead and unreviveable.

Also a thing worth noting, my responses to everyone's feedback isn't me defending my actions, more of 'giving some context'. I do agree with all of them and honestly appreciate them. When I was just starting out security I'd often verify with others if what I'm doing is right and correct/lawful. Even today, I try my best to juggle between proving myself as capable for the HoS position and still roleplaying the chain of command i.e. I never do exiles and executions without asking the HoS (or the captain if HoS' unavailable) to get approval.
