It…is a lot, and I’m kind of ashamed and one of the reasons I didn’t want to apply for fax responder, but I eventually got over it and went for it.

Have you been banned in the last 3 months?

.

If so, why?

.



Have you read the role guidelines and expectations?

Yes, I did.

Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?

I played a lot of Corporate Liaison, a role that mostly depends on their fax machine in certain situations, and I saw lots of people being annoyed/frustrated on the discord or in-game LOOC of admins not responding to faxes/assignment requests, and it is a shame for me to admit this, but I was like this too.

Another thing was Provost Office/High Command appeals, especially on rounds where there were little to no staff/small amount of staff members that might’ve been busy with something else, leaving these appeals with no answers, I sent a fair share of these appeals, both as an MP and prisoner.

I enjoy the more RP-side of CM13, instead of the TDM, since it can get competitive over meta-loadouts for maximizing kills, B-lining maintenance gear, chokes/known fronts, and many more situations where I find myself disliking, but not directly hating on the PVP factor of the game.

What do you consider the purpose of this role?

I consider Fax Responder to be a role that focuses on relieving staff members from faxes, allowing them to focus on other matters like admin tickets and events. As well as creating an interesting atmosphere between the shipside crew, let that be CIC, MPs, CL, and the Combat Correspondent, among many event-type roles (UPP, TWE, CLF, CMB, etc.)



When would you consider it appropriate to use your phone?

Only on extremely rare cases, if not never.

I could see myself calling other faction responders about stuff, like faxes, which I still think is rare.

The Almayer? It gets tricky, since you cannot truly authenticate or record phone calls for recordkeeping, which is why the faxes are the main communication method, I can’t think of a scenario where you call the USS Almayer.

If playing WY Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CL?

One would be recovering the colony’s black box either flat-out asking the CO/XO/who ever is the acting commander of the operation, or paying a grunt or Intelligence Officer to recover it and bring it to you.

Another one would be interviewing survivors, preferebly documenting them with a tape recorder.

Securing corporate gear/bodies from the colony to identify and send them back to their families, of course I wouldn’t have them taking every colony corpse since then it’d flood the CLs office, maybe corporate security/administration, like Corporate Liaisons.

If playing Press Responder, what objectives do you consider within your power to give the CC?

As press responder, I would give them an objective to interview the commander of the operation, hopefully pre-op while the busy part is still out of the day, or simply interviewing the Corporate Liaison, medical department or marines on the ship, as well as marines on the colony.

Encourage writing and faxing over articles about the operation.
