Goon servers you play: I mainly play on Goon 2 and I have played on Goon 1 but I don’t think it’s really for me.
Reason for application:
I’ve been playing security a lot recently and I’ve been really enjoying the interactions that I've had with the crew/security as well as getting a push to apply from a couple of people I thought that I might as well give the HoS application a shot
Security experience (300 word minimum):
I first started playing at around late 2011 though I don’t think I can say that I have consistently played security except for within the past two or three years (And even then I've been an on and off again player) but I do feel as though I have a large amount of experience with security
When I'm playing as a security role I like to take into account how i’d like to be treated and having a decent perspective of all the different roles the station has to offer helps me achieve that and I find that I generally treat people fairly when i’m arresting and sentencing them.
When dealing with traitors or spies I find that i’m normally pretty lenient on punishments especially if it’s early in the shift and they haven’t caused any problems that couldn’t be fixed because I know having them around in the shift can make the shift less boring for the crew and security and having them locked away for a large amount of the shift isn’t really fun for anyone involved.
If I was fighting against a blob I tend to try and organise security/crew as much as possible with a few of us using welders/flamethrowers and the others using stun batons/blunt objects so that we can efficiently take down the blob without spreading too far or causing too much damage and I find that if not enough organisation has been done it’ll lead to more deaths from people shooting each other with flamethrowers/being absorbed by the blob.
I’ve found that a lot of the skills that I've developed while playing as a crew member is just as important as the skills that you learn while playing as security for example, even the most basic of knowledge that I've learned while playing as a doctor has allowed me to be a better security guard and while the more advanced medical knowledge won’t be used as much it still has saved not only my life multiple times but the lives of other spacemen.
Answer two or more of the following:
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): I’m not too sure on how many bans that I have because they’d all be from the first few years of me playing the game when I first started playing SS13 which was around 2011. A ban that I feel like I should mention is also my most recent ban(I think it happened around 3-4 + years ago?) was a job ban for heads of staff as well as security and from what I can remember I had gotten banned for overreacting and buckle cuffing a player in security, I ended up forgetting about the player and they were stuck buckle cuffed to the chair until an admin helped them up but my memory on the situation isn’t the best so what I've said might be slightly skewed. I feel confident I wouldn’t let the same mistakes happen again and I was able to use the job ban as a learning experience.

Answer two or more of the following:
- What advice would you give to other sec players?
- It’s always really important to communicate with the people you’re arresting as soon as you can, people generally appreciate it and they’ll be more cooperative and pleasant. Try to avoid running with a weapon out since it’s really easy to either get disarmed or slip and have your taser/baton stolen from you.
- What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
- I feel as though it would be great for security to have Space Law books be more available, this would mainly be for newer security players that aren’t too sure what a sentence they should give to someone and they’ve no else on security to check with.
- Describe any differences in your play style when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
- Generally when I play as a part of a team i’m more lenient and less defensive in my play style, i’d typically do more patrols around areas like maintenance because I feel comfortable as normally the other officers will have my back when a situation goes bad and I find that there’s a lot more communication with the crew as well. As a solo officer I tend to stick to areas with larger groups of people to make sure those areas are secure, while i’ll still patrol risky areas such as maint I tend to lower it’s priority to focus more on the crew, overall I tend to stick to a safer style of play to make up for the fact that I’m not working within a team.
