Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?

I want to come a fax responder for the original reason I got into CM, the love for the aliens universe and the RP this server can provide. I have had almost all my most memorable moments on this server in some way be relevant to being related to Aliens. Sure the “chunging and plabbing” xenos is fun, banter is fun, but I get most of my enjoyment from immersing myself in the server. I used to fax respond all the time when I was Staff, it was one of my favorite things to do on a slow day, cause I know people like CL/CC/And other roles really enjoy when they actually have someone to talk back to, it helps their motivation and provides opportunities for really good RP. I won’t lie, a part of me misses faxing the CL “PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT UPSET THE MPs! WE DON’T HAVE LAWYER MONEY!” as some lowly WY intern. To sum it up, I was here for the rp, I stayed for the rp, and I’d like to provide some soulful service with the trusted fax machine

What do you consider the purpose of this role?

The fax responder is simply the way to connect the game to the greater aliens universe, to show that there is someone on the outside of the almayer that is out there, that this isn’t a timeloop vaccum. This is a role to ENRICH what’s currently happening that needs fax responds. It’s not for “pls deathsquad” or “I WANT THE CO EXECUTED!!! APPROVE NOW! NOW NOW NOW!” As per the guidelines, that’s still staff duties. This is a RP heavy job that is meant to expand upon the aliens environment, to give connections and a sense of scale to the Almayer. It should be about quality responses to give extra depth, not to just shitpost around with.

What is your playtime in Command Roles?

130 (CO), 80.9 (Executive Officer) 25.9 (Staff Officer) + Plus the Misc probably 120 hours pre time reset (I know that is irrelevant nowadays)

What is your playtime in Military Police Roles?

16.3 (Chief), 3.5 (MP), 2.5 (Warden). Again + whatever I had pretimelock (around probably 50 total, I was also staff so I did that a lot)

What is your playtime in Corporate Liaison?

3.4 (Liasion), (I had more pre-time reset but again, im not gonna keep repeating it)

What is your playtime in Civil Roles?

2.5 Hours

What, if any, is your playtime in Special Roles?

As prior staff I had a lot of time for these, moreso Highcommand visitations: Around 13 hours? (I also used to not always go in as super high rank)

Provost Roles: 10 hours total? Its a mix from all the marshals, sector marshals, and inspectors

WY Roles: It says none but I’ll guess 2 hour

Phone use should be reserved for outstanding reasons. Like specified in the guidelines, the job is fax responder, not phone responder. These cases should barely be available, though some cases to use my phone I can think of are:

As a company responder I give a NON-ANTAG objective and my CL takes it out of hand and I get bombarded with issues, the CL could be dead or some other crisis caused by shenanigan’s. If either the CO calls (if possible, Im not sure its one way) I would find that acceptable or to quickly resolve the issue by throwing the CL to the sharks would be acceptable. The conversation should be quick, painless, and used as an ultimate resolving tool. not to yap or draw something out.

As provost responder I would think an exception to the “quick and painless phone” would be only what can be described as a MP “incident”. We all know the ones, no staff on, a bazillion conflicting faxes to my machine. To save headache and clear things up fast and efficiently, I would not be opposed to ringing the almayer to ensure that I actually know what’s going on and to solve it without some grandios fax-back and forth.

my tl;dr answer is, if it can be quickly solved with a fax or a phone-call can be avoided, it will be avoided. No gossip girling the phoneline.

  1. Non antagonistic objectives: get any surviving colonists to sign NDAs (maybe get the CO to sign one or a “don’t damage the colony” document), do some interviews and report back what actually happened to the colony, go work with the science team and collect some ground samples, advertise WY services (go tell him to talk to low enlisted about whiteguard solutions, not hiring cause that leads to a mess usually, just spread the word). Things that would get them interacting with the Almayer with a purpose.

  2. GET THE SCOOP OF A LIFETIME! Kidding- but as combat correspondent they should be getting the good word. I’d tell them Snap a picture of the queen, get an interview with the CO, get a scoop from what the boys in the med bay are up to? what could these creatures be? Get that camera out there and get good footage. Stuff to make the job of a correspondent a bit more lively. Maybe now and then have him snoop on the CL, I doubt that WY is as nice as they seem anyways. Basically, things that get the CC out of his office and interacting with the game, cause at the end of the day someone has to report on our heroes. Obviously things would change if they’re military CC or civilian, but the gist is the same.
