HoS application (Selena)
#1
Quote:Usual character name: Selena James
BYOND username: Kotlol
Discord username (if you are on our discord): Kotlol#6119
Recommended by (if applicable): -None- Just asked after one round and they said I should try.
Goon servers you play: Goon Server 4 RP: Sylvester

Reason for application:

There has been a distinct lack of Head of Securities during rounds where they could have helped. I seen alot of grieving Staff Assistants, Security officers being shouted at for doing their job, Compitent Captain players been called buzz killers (while they were RPing, including myself) and I seen also alot of criminals who litterly start running amuck in the 1st 10 minutes of a RP shift, breaking into Security or Captain's quarters to steal stuff, get caught and then suicide and DNR.

I have delt with Honky was here as an AI three times already when I wasn't a head... so yea. We need abit of a firm, law enforcing, slighty cocky but headstrong Head of Security with the "Self proclaimed" Roach Goddess Selena James.

My biggest gripe as of late with the lack of HoS's is the fact players will become antagonistic when you litterly do your job as Security OR Captain. Yes even captains who will "Dock/lower your pay for malpractice/missuse of NT property" will have players turn hostage, break in and steal your stuff to mess with things.
Or when Security won't listen to Captain's orders cause "They ain't HoS" (this happened one time during my captain shift) when there isn't a HoS.

So basicly we need another HoS player on hand so security players know who to follow as alot of new players have influxed and alot of sec assistants lately.. have been operating with flame throwers and the such to fight anyone who disagrees with them. (And then they suicide when caught)

Security experience (300 word minimum):

My 1st expirence was as a detective. Most detective tend to be dumb monologuing drunks but I went for abit more of a "watch and learn security" approach. Slowly Selena became more of a "paranormal detective" due to many shifts where paranormal activities run amuck (Admeme, wraiths and the such)
I have played plenty of security officer rounds where I nearly died but came out alive (and the charater going abit heavy on smacking the clown with the stun rod whenever it tried to spacelube the security for the 20th time), but I never resort to borging or killing even as captain. Tending to go for Exile or 5 min brigs at the max.

Answer two or more of the following:
  • What advice would you give to other sec players?
    - Do not go for lethal tactics, you always have a way to bring the guy in alive, have medicine with you to save the crook. An alive crook is a fun crook.
  • What was one of your favorite security moments? (Either playing as a sec officer or interacting with one)
    - Being a spy/theif and got caught by a mechanic intercepting signals from my PDA. I kept complaining and calling for a lawyer when that same mechanic became my lawyer to assist me. Then using my "contraband" evidence to mindslave the prosecution and setting me free. Didn't do evil afterwarts. I was stuck in sec for almost 40 mins due to the trial.
  • What game improvements or changes do you think would benefit security players?
    - A way to find a murder site easier. For example more ways to use autopsy to find out how long ago someone last ate and what.Example: "Victim ate a Discount Dan Burrito 10 minutes ago, check all vendomachines" Then finding where he bought it and knowing that 10 minutes before he died he was in that area and you can start hunting down more witnesses. Abit more detectiving and murder investigation. Also make cutting up bodies abit more interresting. As most bodies are like: "Finger prints, blood splatter, items on body, missing items, done throw it into the reclaimer"But we never cut open bodies even if we know they got shot...
  • Describe any differences in your playstyle when part of a full security team and when being the only security officer.
    - There isn't too much difference, in a full sec team (with a HoS) Selena is loyal , rough but working along. She works well with authority figures but when she is it herself she tends to want to do things on her own, but will always request help. As captain rounds especially she takes security meassures extra serious. But hey a good captain is pretty much a jack of all trades. She has done all the duties, rounds, breaking fights up, front desk, bar duty, escorts/bodyguards. The works.As for the ONLY SEC OFFICER. I play a more radio focussed/working with captain and ai. I try to make it seem like security is always going around by taking rounds and then 2 minutes of front desk then another round. I am also more reckless of my life to save others in solo mode, then full team mode.
Answer one or more of the following fun questions (because it's important for the HoS to be fun):
  • What's a security gimmick that you've ran or wanted to run?
    I tried/have to run the following gimmicks with Security:- Pirate time (YARR LOOT THEM STATIONS! FORGET YE HOME!)- Bioweapon Detective (Changeling Detective but insted of devouring everything, this one devours other bio wepaons/syndicate members, eventually an immortal respawning charater with the philosopher stone wanted me to eat them.. it perma killed them. Was for science and approve by HoS & Captain, also very rude/hungry towards any minor offenses. Had a killing mode phraze and kill phraze)- Overthrow the usurper captain. (long shift, syndicate members took over the captain's office, but they left the old captain's body for sec to handle. Alot of sec was worried so I took "the old captain's place" and went trying to undo the damage and take the station back in NT, it failed and I died.)
  • Gimmicks I want to run:- Police chases through the station. Syndicates and Security in their own personal clown cars. Chasing eachother... certain to mario karting!
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will):
No bans on record, just 1 warning from Admin that I was being too aggresive to a space lubing clown with smacking them with my stun rod singular times. While the clown nearly killed me twice with space lube. And my charater already got nearly executed twice by syndicate members (was not her shift)
I told the admin that it wasn't lethal at all. Just stun rod hits as the clown was getting securities injured and nearly killed due to space lubing.

We've had some excellent shifts together and you've shown competence and depth of gameplay time and time again. While we don't see each other nearly often enough, you've been highly communicative, fair, and diligent both as a Det and a SecOff. You are good at talking through situations and deescalating, along with being able to bring situations back under control when things start going haywire. Your communication is exceptional and you work to make RP more engaging and interesting for those involved.

Just wish we got to play more. Not sure if it's timezones or what, but we need more Selena!

I have played quite the number of rounds with you on the security team and I'm confident now to give you a +1 for your good work both as an Officer and as a Detective. Seeing you on the Security Department is a good sign that we have someone we can count on.

While we appreciate the time and effort you put into this application, we have elected to decline on this application for the time being. You will be eligible to reapply 60 days from the date of this post. In the meantime I would encourage you to keep playing rounds as a Security Officer and generally making yourself known as a prominent and reliable Security player.
