Your CKEY (Including any alts you have):
Xyzzium
Your Discord Name (Including any alts you have):
xyzzy#2467
How often are you online to play/admin? (Timezone):
GMT-06:00
I make my own hours at work so I can theoretically be available whenever I want
What changes, if any, would you bring?:
I don’t intend to make waves, I just want the griefing on Sage to go away
How old are you?:
28 years old
Why do you want to be an admin?:
I’ve been watching Sage slowly deteriorate due to “lack of admins” among other things.
How long have you been playing SS13?:
At this point probably a year or two non-consecutively. My first Byond accounts are probably a couple years old, but I don’t have access to them any more.
How long have you been playing BeeStation?:
Since 2020-01-05, 194h (170h/24h) and rising fast. I may be addicted.
On a scale of 1-10, how skilled are you in SS13?:
7.5
First thing I learned was medbay so my survival skills are top notch. I know how to clone plasmamen successfully and how to reive a husked miner without cloning if necessary. I have moderate knowledge of everything Sci/R&D, pretty decent knowledge of Cargo, a good understanding of how Security protocols are MEANT to go down, good knowledge on how to set up Solars and decent knowledge on how to set up the SM. I can’t claim to know everything about a 15 year old game that’s been spaghetti coded by a million different people but I have a pretty darn decent understanding of most of it.
On a scale of 1-10, how skilled are you as an admin?:
5
I’ve hosted private servers to mess around with things and learn things, and I’m moderately familiar with VV and other admin tools. That being said, using them in a live non-private environment is something I have yet to do.
Have you ever been an admin on another server? This is not limited to SS13:
No, I don’t normally seek power positions.
Do you have any alternate accounts on SS13? If so, could you provide their CKEY?:
Nyaakuza (already a thread about that). A bunch of throwaway keys I tried. I don’t multikey or plan to.
Your strengths:
I’m incredibly tolerant and don’t get hurt feelings terribly easily. I’d also like to say I’m mostly impartial and largely unbiased but that’s just my partial and biased opinion.
On top of that, I’ve been on multiple sides of the SS13 banhammer. I know what it’s like to be banned, I know what it’s like to be over-banned, and I feel like at this point I’m a decent judge of character when it comes to “griefer” vs. “just a bad mistake”
Your weaknesses:
Poor memory due to depression.
Is there anything that gets you really mad, real fast?:
Unfunny memes
What do you think is the most important trait for a staff member to have?:
Patience
What makes a staff team good?:
Self-awareness
What is a staff team’s purpose?:
To be an advocate for the playerbase and ensure the grand majority of players are having a good time. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and all that. This is not, however, to be misinterpreted as overzealous gatekeeping or obessively protecting your personal playground. Give everyone a shot, but don’t hesitate to get rid of people who just genuinely want to ruin the experience for others and nothing else.
What kind of player are you?:
I prank, but don’t grief. I mostly take my role seriously with the occasional exception. I exclusively play MRP and I tend to behave myself.
How do you think you will change once you become a staff member?:
Ideally I won’t. Maybe a bit grumpier.
The clown slips the HoS and steals his gun, spacing it right after. What do you do?:
If it’s good and proper spaced, delete the gun and put it back on the HoS desk. More likely than not it was spaced vertically or horizontally and it’s easily retrievable, in which case I shouldn’t interfere because the HoS will know exactly where it ended up and has a hardsuit to retrieve it.
A non-antagonist is sabotaging the Atmospherics loop and pumping plasma into the distro, along with dragging around a canister and releasing it into the atmosphere. Assuming that another admin is cleaning up the after-effects, how do you conduct the ahelp with him?:
There’s no way something like this is a mistake or the player doesn’t know it’s a seriously lame thing to do, and they are absolutely going to be banned for it. The only thing left to decide is whether the ban is a job ban, a server ban, or a perma ban and that will be decided by the conduct of the player in the ahelp. I’d do my best to ask in a non-condescending manner why they did such a really, really lame thing and wing it from there.
A chemist who is working alone accidentally mixes an explosive mixture inside of his chem dispenser, instantly killing himself and destroying the machine, along with exposing Chemistry to space. Nobody else was injured aside from him as a result of his actions. What do you do?:
IC issue. His colleagues will call him an idiot and they’ll probably fix the damage shortly.
