Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?
I always wanted a HRP role and loved playing Corporate Liaison and I am getting back into it. Issue always was, unanswered faxes. So as staff I used to answer faxes when possible and now that there is a Fax Responder role that isn’t locked to being staff I am 100% onboard. Plus, it provides more roleplaying opportunities which is what I strive for.
What do you consider the purpose of this role?
You are basically the middle man in most circumstances. The fax responder gets informed on arrests, appeals, CL shenanigans and anything else that would usually be brought forth in a round and with that, you are expected to provide professional faxes in response and understand the weight of your faxes in the round.
Another note would be that any faxes that should be brought to the Staffs Attention, you should ahelp and inform them.
However, the purpose is to provide roleplay and fun for the round. This could be providing the CL with some non antagonistic objectives and sprouting more RP opportunities.
When would you consider it appropriate to use your phone?
Basically never. Only times would be during emergencies that are case by case and would require an extremely good reason. However, you can use the phone to contact other fax responders if the situation is appropriate.
If playing WY Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CL?
Non antagonistic objectives are the most ideal. The fax responder ‘guide’ gives some good examples. But as always, it depends on the situation and the map. Hybrisa itself has unique locations that could be used for objectives. Obviously, I would be extremely careful with these objectives as to not just send the CL off to die as people tend to follow faxes to the exact fine print.
Then there is the different W-Y Divisions. Which could have some unique objectives given to them (If deemed appropriate, no PSI shenanigans). However, I am not sure on the stance of this as you would usually be part of the Corporate Relations Division as the Executive Supervisor.
If playing Press Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CC?
Document the life of a Marine in the corps. Gathering evidence of XX-121 Specimen, involvement of any third parties such as W-Y, CLF, UPP etc. It varies drastically. More streamlined than for example objectives for the CL but you can still make some clever objectives depending on the round.

Hours do look low overall due to playing before time was tracked and if I did play as ‘Fax Responder’ before the role was made as staff, it was via the use of admin respond to fax.
