Ban Appeals, Whitelist and Staff Applications:

If so, why?
N/A
Have you read the role guidelines and expectations?
Yes.
Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?
Fax Responder is a fun time-waste that generates cool experience for those playing the round. I find it entertaining as I am a fan of doing something “off-screen”, for example watching a movie and responding to the occasional faxes that come from time-to-time. In reality, I believe Fax Responder is that one guy behind the curtains that can give some nice round goals for those reliant on their specific assigned faction, and I have inspiration to make more fax papers and make rounds nicer for people.
What do you consider the purpose of this role?
Fax Responders are esssentially communicators between the Sender and the CMSS13 Staff Team - they represent whatever faction they are responding as and it’s interests, and they are required to make the sense of said organization actually existing and fulfill the role, allowing other people to communicate with someone they wouldn’t be able to normally. Simply put, they are here to represent their faction and reply to faxes sent towards them in a way the said faction would with the consideration of their lore.
When would you consider it appropriate to use your phone?
Using Fax Responder’s Telephone is a very delicate topic, as it’s shouldn’t be used at all most of the times.
What I can bring as examples in my mind is:
- Calling other FRs
- Calling a Corporate ERT station to debrief the Security/PMC team
- Calling in order to give a direct response on how to act during a extremely emergency situation, where otherwise a slow response would possibly cause unpredictable movements done by the representative of the FR’s organization, which can bring shame onto the faction itself. (Ex. MPs tryna bust down the CL’s door and arrest him for some bullshit, they are asking for a response on what to do, and might start a shootout to “defend” themselves. Calling them and saying to surrender freely would be the most smartest option in the situation)
If playing WY Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CL?
Find out the cause of Distress signal on Colony where you was dispatched.
Extract (x) corporate bodies with their gear.
Try to get in good relationships with (x) department. (Could potentially extend this by getting permission from Staff Team to send some minor items that CL could gift)
Deploy to assess the current situation groundside and how much approximately money-wise damage was caused to the Colony.
Recover (x) item from the Colony. (Blackbox, W-Y classified intel. FR could use his map-knowledge to give the most likely location so the CL can bribe someone to get on it)
Make corporate survivors sign NDA, especially if they know about what caused the XX-121 outbreak. Otherwise the Corporate Survivors could be demoted to avoid any information being compromised, cause survivors have tendency to make up how W-Y is evil and grew XX-121 on colony despite being a random Joe Engineer.
There may be other tasks, but those are mainly restricted by Staff, and should be approved with them beforehand giving those to the C-L. I would aim to make their round more interesting as much as I can.
If playing Press Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CC?
Interview (x) Officer. Get their opinion on how the situation progresses, write an article about it.
Make (x-number) amount of photos on frontline with the showcase of the enemy. Attach them to your reports.
Try to keep yourself updated with everything going on shipside if staying there; use your tape recorder to record any interesting conservations or what would be good for interesting news article.
