good interactions, impressed that you sort of strike me as doing two very different styles with morrow and curie (it's a good thing!) where i think my experience of curie has been a little tougher and morrow is more laid back. i've seen you swing towards decent leniency as captain to let antags do their thing even when you The Player could look at some things and intuit really readily about specific crimes/victims/traitor types/tools, and instead you let people play out their dealings without getting overly mechanical and meta about stuff, so that's really nice to see

twofold comment though:
1. hos is tricky, hard, and in the worst moments, it is frustrating. it's fine to acknowledge in your app that sometimes you just need to take a break, but there are going to be very very very minor sorts of goofs common to this game that get your goat for one reason or another, or you won't think they were fair or whatever. i've had my fair share of stuff that i really beat myself up over because it was minor or obvious or whatever. when you start to find more personal issue with the other PLAYERS for that kind of stuff, you need to take a step backl. when you start using OOC to talk on how it wasn't properly escalated, you REALLY need to take a step back.

hos Does Things during a round but whether something was/wasn't appropriately escalated isn't your call, you defer it to ahelp and learn to roll with the punches even when they're super crappy; you have to be responsive. you don't need to bring it up in OOC and don't need to do that after another person has already given a gentle reminder (to all) that comments about that stuff belong in ahelp and not OOC. because of the degree of "round flow control" and escalation expectations a hos has, when someone who is in that role shames someone for not escalating "correctly", it's super sucky and hostile. and in a lot of cases, the people who Did The Thing That Made You Mad thought to themselves that they were doing really good escalation and trying really hard with announcements and ominousness and foreboding and (pre-warned) escalating bombing antics and whatnot. leave it in Apms and move on. i'm not asking you to never be upset by things, just don't use OOC to mention it.

boooop, i realize i forgot something for clarity sorry for double-post, but i made it sound like "dont do this if you play sec". dont do it at all, since people see WL holders and the idea is it raises the esteem of them in their eyes as "oh this is a person who knows what's fair and cool and tries to make the game environment better for others". but regardless of whether you spectated, played hos, or played hall monitor, people look at what you say with more regard because you're vetted and so it can weigh heavy on Antag McGee who thought they did their best but learned people didn't like it. "this is a person trusted to know what good escalation is because they have to do it, right? so when they say that i did bad escalation.............wow, i guess i was really bad."
