Tobias_reaper - Fax Responder Application

Good evening. When to call: Per the guidelines, the phone should be used in exceptional circumstances only. From my perspective, less is also more. If you call all the time it loses its impact. Say I am the provost. I think a appropriate time to call would be if a important fax has gone unread, or they seem to not be obeying it, such as a appeal for a inmate about to be executed has been granted, but I see them still asking a green executive for permission to execute, or misleading a major. A…

Mentor Application - Tobias_reaper Byond CKEY: Tobias_reaper Discord ID: aclockworkgent Character Name(s): Vaughn Russel, The coldsmith twins, VG-000 Why do you want to become a Mentor?: I frankly do enjoy teaching people. I often do stop and teach people stuff if they are struggling, such as mending APCs, medical as CMO, resin building as a drone, ect. I have had a few people suggest I apply for mentor after witnessing me teach a few people stuff, and I recently got enough of a grip on the x…

Tobias_reaper - Yautja Application

As they have attacked me, they are fundamentally worthy prey. This means, as a proud Yautja hunter, my character would see this as good sport- and an excellent chance to partake in the noble art of the hunt, and seek to kill. They cannot simply holster their weapon and try and “decline“ the encounter. As they have attacked me, I am within my rights to attack them no matter their state. As I was previously hunting them, I presumably did not stumble across them and they are in sufficient health t…

No. I have taken a few long absences.

Can you actively engage and communicate with the team through Discord?

Yes.

Final Details:

Why would you like to join the CM-SS13 staff team?

I am a member of the mentor team, and have found I enjoy contributing to the community significantly, I originally put off becoming staff- Then I was kidnapped in the dead of night and made a discord conscript. I realised I actually rather enjoy helping keep the place nice for the majority of players and would like to assist more with moderation and events.

What makes you a great addition to Staff? (Experienced Tabletop DM, Aliens Lore Buff, Super Organized, etc.?)

Well, I have ran paid TTRPG games before so I am familiar with not only the “lore” aspects and gameplay of running a story, but keeping everyone happy and feeling safe. I have also ran similar events on some servers I have moderated, mostly minor world building events. I am also used to managing large amounts of people with reduced ability to directly oversee via my IRL occupation. The administrative task involved with many systems are rather second nature to me.

In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a CM-SS13 staff member?

The ability to recognise their own potential bias and stay professional.

Even if you believe you can remain impartial and fair, it is best to pass major cases you have a personal link to off to another member of staff, and the nature of the internet is that people for some unknown, illogical reason believe it is acceptable to be their worst selves publically for all the world to see. No matter what is said, you have to be able to remain professional. No snide comments, insults, or ideally sarcasm. A good ability to understand people are rarely genuinely annoyed at you personally but the fact their is moderator action being taken helps.

Anything else you want to add?

The only moderation incidents that come to mind I have experienced is when I was rather new and shot a few people with a heavy machine gun by mistake, which was dropped when it became clear I was simply incompetent, and one daft LRP incident that was not punished on a staff level, which was spur of the moment and which I now recognise my mistake.

I confess, I do look most forward to some of the RP opportunities staff provides and to get more supportive and involved with this community I have become irrationally fond of.
