Any questions before we begin?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:11 PM
im good.

Flamingo - Today at 2:13 PM
Awesome, first question: You are in-game and you notice a player joins with the name "Donald Trump". Jumping over, you see a bald, 30 year old assistant. A quick check on their account shows you that it's only 2 days old. What do you do?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:13 PM
I PM them asking if they have a momment.

Flamingo - Today at 2:14 PM
They don't respond, instead sprinting around, checking every door, before making their way onto the arrivals shuttle.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:15 PM
I PM them again, informing them that their current name is against the servers naming rules.

Flamingo - Today at 2:17 PM
They do not reply, making their way off of the shuttle and onto the station, picking up an oxygen tank from one of the nearby emergency O2 lockers, before smacking themselves in the head a couple of times.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:18 PM
i would then proceed to wind them, PM'ing them a third time, asking them to click on the staff name in the PM to reply, and that server staff is speaking to them.

Flamingo - Today at 2:19 PM
You finally illicit a response, but it is in a language you do not recognize, and they do not seem to understand you.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:20 PM
I would respond, politely asking them, if they are able to reply in english, as this is an english speaking server.

Flamingo - Today at 2:21 PM
Upon trying to send them another PM, it is clear they have disconnected.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:23 PM
Upon realising this, i would proceed to add a note on them, regarding the violation of the servers naming conventions, and self harm, and then proceed to apply a 24 hour ban for breaking said rules.

Flamingo - Today at 2:24 PM
Great. Anything else you'd like to do?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:24 PM
find out a way of having their character moved to cryo if possible.

Flamingo - Today at 2:24 PM
An admin is usually around to help with that, or if all else fails, you can PM someone to move them, or do it yourself.
Ready for the next question?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:25 PM
I am.

Flamingo - Today at 2:26 PM
You're sitting in a round when suddenly, you get an ahelp reading "WTF I JUST GOT GANKED!??". Jumping over, you see that an engineer has just cut off the head of a medical doctor. What do you do?(edited)

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:28 PM
I would PM the engineer, asking them about their reasoning for their actions, while also checking the attack logs to see what happened.
I would also reply to the Ahelper asking about their side of the story.

Flamingo - Today at 2:30 PM
The medical doctor tells you they were sitting in medical lobby sitting at the desk when the engineer walked in and parapenned them, before dragging them into maintenance and beheading them with an energy sword. The combat logs back this up. The engineer says they killed the medical doctor because they kept trying to talk to them at the desk, and they kept getting ignored. It's also immediately apparent that the engineer is a traitor.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:32 PM
i would reply to the engineer, inquireing if they had done any RP to escalate to this action.
Flamingo - Today at 2:33 PM
They tell you that they kept trying to, but each time the medical doctor would either walk away or ignore them, so they decided to just go through with the kill, since they were upset they were being ignored.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:35 PM
i would check with the medical doctor to see if their story matches.
i would also check the engineers notes, to see if there was anything of importance to take note of.

Flamingo - Today at 2:36 PM
The medical doctor says that they just didn't feel like RPing. The engineer has a previous warning a few weeks prior about gunning someone down in a round of mercenary with little reason.(edited)

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:38 PM
I would PM the medical doctor, reminding them that this is a HRP server, and that you are ecspected to stay in character, and progress the round. i would also check and see if they have any notes of importance.

Flamingo - Today at 2:39 PM
The medical doctor does not have any previous notes, and says they will do better in the future, and cryo if they don't feel like RPing. Would you like to do anything else?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:40 PM
i would then reply to the engineer, that proper escalation of force is required, and that being an antag does not excempt you from those rules.
i would add a note to the medical doctor, about staying in character.

Flamingo - Today at 2:41 PM
Great, anything else you would like to do?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:41 PM
does the engineer respond to my last PM?

Flamingo - Today at 2:41 PM
Ah, the engineer would acknowledge it, and promise to do better the next time.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:42 PM
right, i would state to them that i would be adding a note on them, regarding this, and to make sure to escalate properly in the future.
i would probaly also ask a more senior member of staff, if a warning might be needed.

Flamingo - Today at 2:44 PM
Awesome, all set for the next question then?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:44 PM
((stuff is happening, so my response might be a bit slow))
I am.

Flamingo - Today at 2:45 PM
No problem.
Next question: You connect to the server, and just as you arrive, you are met with a flood of logs. Two people are attacking eachother, and neither of them appear to be antagonists. What do you do?

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:47 PM
i quickly jump to them, and access the situation.

Flamingo - Today at 2:47 PM
An engineer armed with a butterfly knife and a cargo tech armed with a wrench are currently beating eachother up in the cargo office.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:48 PM
i proceed to wind them both, PM'ing them, asking for their reasoning in attacking each other

Flamingo - Today at 2:50 PM
The cargo tech says he was trying to get the engineer to fix some windows before they had an argument and started fighting, and the engineer says that he was walking through the hall when the cargo tech started yelling at him, so he pushed him over, before getting hit by a wrench. He responded by pulling out his butterfly knife to defend himself.(edited)

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:52 PM
i check the attack logs, and both players notes, to see what happened, and if they have anything of importance in their notes or warnings.

Flamingo - Today at 2:54 PM
The attack logs seem to show that the engineer did in fact disarm the cargo tech a few times, before the cargo tech hit him with a wrench, and they both started attacking each other. The cargo tech has a single note from about a month prior about being super aggressive. The engineer has no notes.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:55 PM
I ask the engineer about why he began shoving the cargo tech, and why they have a butterfly knife.

Flamingo - Today at 2:57 PM
The engineer says they shoved the cargo tech because he was verbally abusing them, and they were upset, so they pushed them over. They tell you they made the butterfly knife because they were worried they might get attacked by a traitor or something.

SebkillerDK - Today at 2:59 PM
i would then reply to the engineer, that meaking weapons, ''just in case'' is considered powergaming, and is against the rules of the server.

Flamingo - Today at 3:00 PM
They respond that they have been doing it every round for two weeks, and never been told it was not okay. Why is it a problem now?

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:03 PM
i would reply, asking them to please read the rules regarding powergaming, which states that building weapons, ''just in case'' is considered powergaming, and that the issue was their character carrying around a weapon, and using it.

Flamingo - Today at 3:04 PM
They reluctantly agree.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:05 PM
i would then reply to them, stating that i would be adding a note to them, regarding this, and issuing a warning for powergaming, by building weapons ''just in case''.

Flamingo - Today at 3:06 PM
Sounds good. Anything else?

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:07 PM
i would return to the cargo tech, asking them regarding pulling out a wrench and attacking the engineer for showing them, instead of trying to diffuse the situation.

Flamingo - Today at 3:08 PM
They tell you that their character has anger issues, and that they don’t like being touched, so they lashed out when someone tried to disrespect them.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:10 PM
with their note i mind, i would ask them to perhaps re-evaluate their characters anger issues slightly, to avoid unecesary sudden escalations of force, and add a note about it.

Flamingo - Today at 3:10 PM
They say they will try.
Nice work. Anything else you’d like to add to this one?

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:10 PM
nope.
oh yeah, unwind them.

Flamingo - Today at 3:11 PM
Naturally :p

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:12 PM
((gonna cryo in round quick))

Flamingo - Today at 3:13 PM
Alright, next question. You are in a round of mercenary, minding your own business when you get an ahelp from one of the mercs. “Help the QM is powergaming us.”
Sure.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:14 PM
done.
i would jump to the Ahelping merc, and see what is going on.

Flamingo - Today at 3:16 PM
You jump over and see that the mercs and the QM are currently engaged in a fight. The QM is armed with some of the best weapons they can get, taken from weapons crates they cracked open. They are fighting the merc team solo, and winning.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:17 PM
i would wait for a bit, to see if the figthing tones down a bit, or the mercs retreat, as PM'ing someone in the middle of a firefight would be quite interupting.

Flamingo - Today at 3:25 PM
Apologies, getting ready for work.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:25 PM
it's fine.

Flamingo - Today at 3:27 PM
The QM finishes off the injured mercs, and one escapes.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:27 PM
i would then PM the QM, asking if they had a minute.

Flamingo - Today at 3:27 PM
They respond they do.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:27 PM
i would also check their notes for anything relevant.
and i would ask the QM about why he was figthing the mercs.(edited)

Flamingo - Today at 3:29 PM
He says he was trying to save his friend, a miner, who the mercs had taken hostage. He has two warnings about powergaming in the past, and a few notes on valid hunting behavior.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:29 PM
does he have any bans retaining to the issues with his past?

Flamingo - Today at 3:30 PM
No bans.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:31 PM
i would then reply to them, stating that a QM should not be figthing the heavily armed mercs, by ordering the most powerfull guns that he could get,  but leave those matters to security, and retreat to a safe location.
and that doing so goes against the rules regarding powergaming, validhunting, and believable characters, as no normal quatermaster would order the biggest guns he cold and attack a heavily armed external unknown force just because they had his friend, whenthere were others whose job it was to deal with these things.(edited)

Flamingo - Today at 3:33 PM
He questions whether he should have just left his friend to die, and states that the mercs broke into cargo, so really he was just defending himself.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:35 PM
i would reply stating that no sane person, would take up a fight, against 3-4 heavily armed guys with big guns, being unarmored themselves, and having no combat training.

Flamingo - Today at 3:37 PM
I’ll be back in a few, I gotta drive for a little bit and it’s pouring.

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:38 PM
alright, can i go make a cup of coffee?

Flamingo - Today at 3:49 PM
Tfw my message didn’t send
I’m driving sorry

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:49 PM
it's fine.
i have coffee, so i wil be awake for a few more hours.

Flamingo - Today at 3:50 PM
The quartermaster gets pretty agitated, telling you that you shouldn’t tell him how to play his character, and that you are just meta grudging him

SebkillerDK - Today at 3:52 PM
i would reply, that stating that what they have done is still considered against the rules.

Flamingo - Today at 4:15 PM
They’d eventually give up arguing. Anything else you’d like to do?

SebkillerDK - Today at 4:16 PM
Considering their multiple notes regarding powergaming and valid hunting, i would think that a 3 day ban, to give them some time to think would be in order, i would consult with a senior member of staff before placing it however.(edited)

Flamingo - Today at 4:18 PM
Sounds reasonable. Any final actions?

SebkillerDK - Today at 4:19 PM
depending on the conclusion of inquireing with the senior staff member, either inform them of the ban, or issue a warning regarding valid hunting, powergaming and non believable characters.(edited)
and ofcourse unwinding them.

Flamingo - Today at 4:30 PM
Sounds good! Next question.
This one is more OOC.

SebkillerDK - Today at 4:30 PM
alright.

Flamingo - Today at 4:30 PM
If you could change one thing about the server. Policy, rule or otherwise. What would it be?

SebkillerDK - Today at 4:32 PM
hmm...... im not quite sure,  i don't currently have any real issues with anything on the server.

Flamingo - Today at 4:33 PM
That answer is fine. I just have one more question then.
Are you comfortable with your interview being posted on your application?

SebkillerDK - Today at 4:33 PM
I have no issues with that.
