Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?
Firstly I wish to provide junior CLs and rookie CCs the chance to get settled into their roles by providing simple guides or instructions and then giving them something to do that isn’t the grab the generic form and pester CIC with it whenever I get enough hours to unlock those responder roles
Secondly there is usually isn’t a fax responder active every round, despite how pretty important they can be, especially Provost responders while WY responders can provide new avenues of engagement for CLs, Provost responders unlock an entirely different route to appeal which “could” be faster then getting the XO, CO or the CMP do it and I would love to contribute with my RP skills with this role as it can be quite impactful
and.. thirdly creating forms is cool even though I suck at it a bit and I find it a pain although it is very satisfying getting a chance to use them and especially making new forms for different responder roles and using them and it also a good way for me to contribute rply to a round even if I missed the more RP heavy roles such as CL or CC and allow for the people who took those roles to further enhance their RP and even create new ones by giving them objectives and such
What do you consider the purpose of this role?
Fax Responder is kinda like observers, to put it simply, you observe and occasionally comment on things with faxes or respond to people.
but to put it more complexly, it’s for players to communicate towards the admins in RP, as fax responders are like a halfway point between admins and the normal players. They expand ordinary fax interactions of average player sending in faxes and making the world of CM more lively by giving a response to those faxes and sometimes having those faxes have an impact in round when staff approves it as fax responders usually don’t have a direct impact in rounds more of an indirect but it also helps the players who send in faxes knowing that besides the observers someone will actually read and responded to them with their own opinion, goals and objectives which can influence the round for those players.
When would you consider it appropriate to use your phone?
Probably never, unless in the rare circumstance
A. The appropriate fax machines are somehow destroyed, making them inoperable, and due to the sensitive nature of the fax, sending them anywhere else could lead to it being compromised
B. Not responding to a high priority fax, even after repeated faxing of warning messages about the fax to get their attention, or with it being an exceptional circumstance where something improper was being committed by command and there are no admins online to deal with it directly.
