I wholeheartedly support Barksley in this endeavour to shoot for HoS. Before the application was up, I can recall being relieved any time I saw Barksley join up in a round knowing that it'd be in good hands, whether that be in security or otherwise. He's very good at being fair to antags and giving them a chance at their own story while also upholding his job in security. I've seen him talk down c-saber wielders and potentially deadly interactions extremely well.
One reason to show my support may at first seem like a bad thing, but let me clarify; I mean this to show how much he's grown in security.
I remember a round when I was fairly new. Things didn't go his way, the odds were stacked against him and a low-pop crew, and he was very clearly verbally unhappy with the round. I bring this up now because I haven't seen this sort of behavior since, and I've seen him, unprompted, express regret over the way he used to react to some things in game. This itself shows growth as a security player, and as a member in the community. This is someone who recognized that things weren't handled well OOC and has since taken the time to fix that, as far as I've seen. It's probably been over a year since this happened, and I'm confident with saying that Barksley has grown since then.
All of this is to say; I think Barksley would make a great HoS. He's inclusive and tries to communicate well, both with his team and with the other members of the crew. He goes out of his way to include people in gimmicks and fun scenarios. While being on 4 means he doesn't have as many opportunities to train / lead, I've actually seen him shine a lot with this, even just by means of ensuring folks get to escape, or leading funerals for fallen crewmates that were unrecoverable.
Huge +1 from me. I'd love to see more HoS players on Sylvester.
