Yes
Why do you wish to become a Fax Responder?
I’m looking to become a Fax Responder because of the many times when I played certain roles looking for a response such as MP to the provosts or CL about engaging into some sort of roleplay but getting no response as if the cold space took it away. Becoming a Fax Responder will not only let me fulfill that certain nagging problem I have when it comes to faxes not being responded to but it would also, Allow me to give other player’s faxes a return which could make their roleplay more interesting than what they had in mind.
What do you consider the purpose of this role?
I would consider this role a sort of “middle-man” between staff and the player base. A way for non staff players to step in and promote roleplay to the Almayer’s departments and players who actively seek a response to their faxes. Alongside helping staff not being overburdened from the weight of both handling faxes and their duty on the server.
Same question I asked the others. Per the rules of the WL, you may only call the Almayer under EXCEPTIONAL circumstances What would you define that as?
If I had to call the Almayer under EXCEPTIONAL Circumstances it would most likely be one of the following situations.
The Military Police department somehow had all their fax machines stolen / destroyed (Including CIC) and a vital piece of information must be faxed over. Following the fact it is vital and we cannot simply fax it anywhere without exposing what piece of information this is. I would call the head of the department directly (CMP / CO or XO)
If more than 3-4 faxes have been sent to a department regarding an urgent reply (such as MPs having the provost question them about something they did) and a reply must be given. Then a call to their department head would be given.
The Fax responder is meant to use their faxes but if for some reason an admin tells me to call them on their behalf to relay a message (Exceptional situation here) then that would also classify as a situation where I would call.
Since EXCEPTIONAL isn’t really explained but rather vaguely given. This is what I think EXCEPTIONAL would be regarding a role that should be only using their faxes.
Cash, despite no longer being allowed to play researcher in my events /s, is very capable of RP, has fulfilled a similar role as fax responder in my events and I believe can be trusted enough for this one.
Yellows is one of the few players who stays incredibly in character throughout my long experience with CM. It doesn’t matter the role whether its XO, SL, CL, Queen or even a basic drone - he is absolutely committed to RP and I think that makes him an excellent candidate to provide an immersive experience via faxes.

As Weyland-Yutani Responder I would consider some of the more easy to do objectives to the CL such as.
Survivors are confirmed to be on the ship so the liaison would be given the objective to get NDAs signed to cover up what happened on the colony.
Have the CL attempt to recover a vial of Royal plasma or Egg plasma to be collected by Weyland-Yutani later at port.
Have the Liaison recover a certain item from the colony for Weyland-Yutani to collect later at port.
If playing Press Responder I would give the following to the CC.
Secure pictures of the creatures below to be released to the public.
Get amount of interviews from either Marines, Shipside crew, or Survivors.
Secure pictures of the Almayer’s crew doing their daily job.
Yellows have the mindset of “cm is as fun as yourself make it, generally in any roles in cm.”
Great at RP and is one of my favorite to observe when he play CL. without a doubt he will make great objectives for cl/ press and will expand to make more objectives in the future. I am without a doubt that he will do a great job as fax responder, pretty much made for him.
Easy +1 from me.
