A Head of Security, and how they can never do their job

[Ed Venture]

I am called a bad Head of Security for this after the round ends by other HoS players.

If you are Adam Jensen then I want you to understand only one HOS player was saying you were bad and it turned out he was the person you arrested. All I said was the sentence was too long. But as you said there are no guidelines when it comes to how long a sentence is and as long as they are not in jail for more then five minutes then you did nothing wrong and you did not do anything wrong. This goes without saying but when you play HOS of a while 50% of people are going to say you are the worst of the worst while the other half will say you are doing a great job. It's to be expected. If people think you are truly shit don't argue with them tell them to adminhelp it.

Spoiler!

This is an extremely disturbing and awful trend of most HoS players. They do nothing but watch. They take up what is supposed to be a commanding officer, supposed to protect the crew, and instead run gimmicks. If you don't do this, you're considered a bad head of security.

This shit needs to stop. You are not an assistant, you are a security officer held to a higher regard. You are supposed to stop crime and protect your crew

I agree 100% I kinda got sick of listening to people say this to me and is one of the reason I took a long break from HOS. People will always find a way to bitch about security and I think people are taking it way too far now and I agree it needs to stop. I've had people so mad at me for doing my job that they would use my IC name and hunt me down and kill me or do other stupid shit just to spite me.



Now do I think Head of Security and Security should be super serious all the time? Yes and No. Yes cause there are times when you have to deal with people being shit or the occasionally shit security officers that do not listen to anyone and takes things to far and of course when it comes to protecting the crew For example any antag that is killing anyone in their path. No because if you are serious 100% of the time you just became a hard ass who give harsh punishments for the tiniest infractions (Something I was guilty of).

When it comes to antags you should only kill them if they are going on rampages. I personally don't like killing antags who get caught earlier on in the round cause that sucks we've all got caught in the first ten minutes and experience being beat to death be a security officer. Sometimes if I do catch one late in the round I gather all my officer's and we hold a vote on their fate since I thought it be fun for the other officers to weigh in their ideas on how to handle him which have ended up working great.

There is not much we can change for security to make it better. Personally I don't think people without a month playtime should play sec because in my experience most shit officers are fresh off the arrivals shuttle. But at the same time I feel as if this is a pretty dumb mindset. Like Wonkmin said it's not Security that needs to change it's our culture towards Security and I don't see how people's mindset towards security will ever change cause people have been dealing with shit security from day one.
