YonnimerToday at 6:05 PM
Alright, i'm ready whenever you are to begin
No rush if you're doing something though

lolziamusToday at 6:07 PM
Nope. Im all ready. Was getting myself comfortable. I'm on mobile now
We can begin

YonnimerToday at 6:09 PM
Alright, do you need a list of the powers you'd get as a mod? Minor thing, all these questions are assuming you'd be a full on mod, not just a trial(only difference is being able to permaban)

lolziamusToday at 6:10 PM
For reference, I would like to have the list, yes.

YonnimerToday at 6:10 PM
Admin PMs,
Aghosting, which allows you to ghost from your body to look at something, then return to it.
Check AI laws,
Check Antagonists
Check the date when players first joined the server
Dead-admin, which allows you to have your powers removed for a round, IE you would be a normal player, you’d have a button to go back.
Check player notes, warnings, bans
Show player skills
Check if staff if AFK
Wind
Of course, give notes, warnings, bans, and perma bans after your trial.
Defuse welder tanks by clicking it
See global LOOC, and AOOC as a non-atang. As well as ghost chat.
Have access to msay, which is a channel for mods and admins to talk on.
Check VVs, you likely won’t use this much.
oh, and a report of all the afk/disconnected people, but this should not matter for the interview.

lolziamusToday at 6:11 PM
Understood.

YonnimerToday at 6:11 PM
Alright, if you have any questions about a power, you're free to ask.

lolziamusToday at 6:11 PM
What is a VV?

YonnimerToday at 6:11 PM
View Variable

lolziamusToday at 6:12 PM
Understood

YonnimerToday at 6:12 PM
It lets you see properties about a object, although as a mod you will not check this much

lolziamusToday at 6:12 PM
I am ready.

YonnimerToday at 6:12 PM
The first set of questions are gonna be about how you would handle a set of situations. Although these aren’t checking to make sure you know how to handle these, just seeing how you would without knowing.
sorry for any grammar mistakes
First question, while observing a round, you see someone spawn in with the name “Gary "Sniper" Doe”, you’re the only staff on at the time, what would you do?

lolziamusToday at 6:15 PM
First off, I observe the player, his character and when he had joined the server. If he's a new player, I inform him through an admin PM regarding his name and that his name must be Firstname Lastname. No nicknames in between or popular/generic names such as John Doe.

YonnimerToday at 6:16 PM
They are a new player, and they respond with "ok, how would I change it?"

lolziamusToday at 6:18 PM
I forward them another adminpm, informing them that to do so, they must first cryo themselves, to remove the said character from the round, given it breaks the rules.

After I walk them through the process of cryo>ghosting, I tell them to use the preferences tab, click on the Character Setup verb and have them load their character sheet where they have their Name displayed and the option to change it.

YonnimerToday at 6:20 PM
They do so, and respawn(there's a system where mods can do it a different way then admins, but i'm not too sure how really, so we won't talk about that) with a correct name. Anything else you'd do after/apply anything, or would that be it?

lolziamusToday at 6:23 PM
Based on how they reacted and how well they followed the information given to them, I would check their character records and skills for any wrongs. If everything is clear, I would leave them the link for the server rules and at worst post a note regarding their minor offense and that they had been dealt with.

YonnimerToday at 6:25 PM
Alright. That should be all for this question. Any questions/comments before the next?

lolziamusToday at 6:26 PM
I reckon I will be informed at the end of the interview if the manner I present when asked how I would deal with these situations, is wrong. Yes?

YonnimerToday at 6:27 PM
If you want, I can make some minor comments. But the point of these questions isn't to check if you know what you're doing/doing it properly, it's to see how you would handle them without knowing.

lolziamusToday at 6:28 PM
Very well. I am ready for the next question. Please excuse grammar mistakes, being on mobile during the night doesn't help.

YonnimerToday at 6:28 PM
Alright. Second question, while playing a round, you notice a bunch of logs of someone stabbing themself in the eye with a kitchen knife. You're the only non-afk staff on at the time, what would you do?

lolziamusToday at 6:33 PM
First off, I aghost to move to the player's position and observe the situation. I would first check when he had joined the server. If it isn't his first time, I would attempt to asess the situation and find out if:

1.Is it roleplay? If yes, what led to it?

2.Is he doing it on purpose with no reason for it?

To find out which of the above is the truth, I would adminhelp the player regarding his current situation and why is he doing it, AFTER I check his notes.

If he doesn't answer or it just proves he's doing it for no reason at all, not even accidental, I wind him and try to discuss with him about the current situation and how he can not randomly stab himself in the eyes.

YonnimerToday at 6:34 PM
The player has a 2 day old account, no other notes. They are doing it in the kitchen, alone. Although there is some cooked food on a table. When bwoinked, he responds with "I'm trying to get out of the round to play some other role".

lolziamusToday at 6:38 PM
I tell the said player that on a Heavy Roleplay server he is expected to roleplay an immersive character with all of it's emotions, most importantly the one of self preservation. I then inform them that if they indeed wish to play another role, they must cryo first and then respawn.

Afted guiding the player through the cryo>ghost sequence, I link them the rules and have a brief discussion with them regarding how the server works, how it isnt allowed to kill yourself for a different role and that you should always choose carefully which role you pick when a round starts. Just so others can play their roles.

If everything is well and he understands, I post a note on his profile and bid him good luck.

YonnimerToday at 6:40 PM
he mostly responds with "ok", and eventually does cryo, but disconnects rather then ghost once in a sleeper. Anything you would do?

lolziamusToday at 6:41 PM
I would patiently wait for him to  explain him the errors of his ways. If he does not show up in a few minutes, I would post a warning on their account.

YonnimerToday at 6:43 PM
Alright, he doesn't come back, so that should be all for this question. Anything you want to say/add before the next?

lolziamusToday at 6:44 PM
Unless you have anything to say about what I've presented so far, there would be nothing coming from me.

YonnimerToday at 6:45 PM
Alright.Third question. You notice two people fighting with disarms and punches, but it eventually escalates into one of them stabbing the other a bunch. What would you do?

lolziamusToday at 6:47 PM
I aghost to their location and try to find out if any of them is an antagonist and what led to this fight through either msay, by asking the other staff or by admin PM-ing one of them once the fight is over, not knowing what had led to this situation. Or purely review the logs.

YonnimerToday at 6:47 PM
Should have said neither were antags, you can see in logs with a color.

lolziamusToday at 6:47 PM
Of course, before this, I check wether they are new or not

YonnimerToday at 6:48 PM
my bad on not including that.

lolziamusToday at 6:48 PM
No worries.
In that case, if neither of them are antagonists, I try to find out who is the newer player while awaiting for a response on msay regarding the situation. If both have playtime, I subsequently check their notes/warnings/bans.

YonnimerToday at 6:50 PM
But, asking in msay, none of the others know. The player we're gonna call AP is a week old, while the player we're gonna called BP has been playing for two months.
AP only has a note about a improper name, BP has a note and warning for SSDIng with cryoing, and a note about ganking someone as a cultist.
In the logs, you could see AP was the one punching, while BP was the one disarming, but BP was the one who started to use the knife(being a butterflyknife, to be specific). You can also see AP is from the knife.

lolziamusToday at 6:52 PM
The knife is from AP?

YonnimerToday at 6:52 PM
Knife is from BP
Who used it on AP

lolziamusToday at 6:52 PM
The last sentence. "You can also see AP is from the knife"

YonnimerToday at 6:53 PM
when did i type this
I sometimes type dumb stuff
is dead from the knife, is what i meant.

YonnimerToday at 6:53 PM
Sorry.

lolziamusToday at 6:53 PM
No worries, Yonnimer

YonnimerToday at 6:53 PM
Message was meant to be "AP is dead from the knife".

lolziamusToday at 6:53 PM
Gotcha
Obviously, the records lean to AP's advantage, given how BP is most times a player that disregards some of the rules and does not provide enough interest into roleplaying properly and escalating accordingly.

Even with those of the above, I still observe and try to find out what had reachef to this point, given how the situation might be different. I adminpm BP and AP and ask them both what had lead to this situation, why are they figthing and what had led to this escalation.

At the same time, I try to be very cautious when they answer to spot potential lies and remain unbiased.

YonnimerToday at 7:00 PM
AP responds with saying they tried to stop BP from welderbombing, BP says the dude suddenly starting to wail up on while he was refueling his welder.

lolziamusToday at 7:04 PM
I have BP present their welder and use the VV command to check if it indeed lacks fuel. Afterwards I tell AP what was happening in fact. I inform them that their misunderstanding was a bit out of hand and that they must always observe befor acting so harshly. At the same time I post a note on his profile.

Regarding BP, if just like the above, he would receive a warning for using a knife during a fight and killing tbe player he was fighting without proper escalation. Because of course, he had finished AP instead of simply stopping from stabbing him.
I would of course inform BP that another offense could possibly land him a tempban

YonnimerToday at 7:07 PM
AP responds with "ok". And BP shows the welder saying he managed to refill it before he reacted to the punching, since he didn't expect it. He does say he was fighting the vines to the south, which you can see are clearly there.
BP also responds with saying to the knife "Yeah, sorry about that. Gotta bit jumpity from the punches when he wouldn't stop"

lolziamusToday at 7:11 PM
I would check the welder fuel tank for missing fuel. In THIS case, I would still apply a warning to BP and inform him that it is always better to ahelp rather than kill someone when there is no proper escalation in the first place.
As for AP, I would still land the note and the explanation.

YonnimerToday at 7:11 PM
You can see there is some fuel missing, about two weldersworth(I actually have no idea if you could, so lets say you can in this case).
Anything else you would wantdone/say?

lolziamusToday at 7:13 PM
In that case, BP's arguement was true, AP receives the aforementioned explanation regarding how they shouldn't jump to conclusions so fast and they should observe, ahelp in case they are uncertain of something or they believe someone is breaking the rules.

YonnimerToday at 7:13 PM
They respond with "ok, how do I come back after i die though?"

lolziamusToday at 7:14 PM
All the previous punishments stand. There would be. Nothing to add. If I am wrong, do tell me.

YonnimerToday at 7:15 PM
Only the above thing, although a admin in msay says they can rejev them.

lolziamusToday at 7:15 PM
I inform AP about the respawn verb within the OOC tab and how he must respawn with a different character

YonnimerToday at 7:16 PM
Rejeving meaning, fully heal.

lolziamusToday at 7:16 PM
If there is an admin present, I would ask for AP's revival and have the situation voided

YonnimerToday at 7:16 PM
Alright. They both go their own ways, so that should be it for this question, unless you got something to add.

lolziamusToday at 7:16 PM
Nothing at this time.

YonnimerToday at 7:17 PM
Alright, final situational question. You might have seen one like this before.
Final question. During a round, you get a ahelp from a group of raiders saying the QM just jumped out of a locker on the surface of cargo with a combat shotgun and full tactical armor and killed most of them. The only other staff on is one of the raiders, what would you do?
added a bit about them being killed

lolziamusToday at 7:18 PM
Noted
First of all, I ask the other staff member if he would lile to deal with this situation or wether he is a deadadmim or not
Afterwards, with him being a raider and if I am to deal with this situation, I try to find out more about the situation. First, I check the QM's notes, warnings and ban history. Then, how old is he on the server.

YonnimerToday at 7:21 PM
The other staff member says he is involved, and was probably gonna make their own ahelp. And checking the QM's notes, you can see they got a note and warning about ordering guns as a QM to fight antags, as well as another note for validhunting a wizard as a engineer.
And they have been playing for roughly a month.

lolziamusToday at 7:23 PM
In that case the QM gets winded on tbe spot and receives an adminPM regarding the situation. I try to explain to him the real error of his ways and how he is currently, possibly and most likely, without escalation, doing the same mistakes as before.

I inform him that he also fails to roleplay any fear RP at all, by using his character which is a Quartermaster to fight heavily geared antagonists.
Afterwards, I would ban him for ateast a week, providing a brief explanation regarding the incident and his past offenses. With a link to the server rules.
Just because he does not seem to learn from gis previous mistakes.
Then, if available on the server or if I could muster an admin, I would have everyone revived and the situation voided.

YonnimerToday at 7:25 PM
Gonna wanna go back a little bit just for what the QM responds with
They respond with saying "They found the stuff in a closet in the warehouse, and heard the raiders were on the surface, so he went to try to scare them off, but they engaged them first"

lolziamusToday at 7:28 PM
I inform him of his past offenses and how that would be unlikely. Furthermore, have him know that trying to scare off raiders with full combat gear found within the warehouse is also unlikely and means failure to roleplay fear RP, as his character wouldn't try to scare the raiders.
At the same time, I would try to find out if the gear was indeed in the warehouse or ordered.
Though, due to him engaging the raiders back and progressivelly killing them instead of running away, proves he once again was seeking more violence than the antags were.
All of this while using his record for reference.

YonnimerToday at 7:31 PM
You can see some steel and a order sheet on the floor, with the weapons + gear listed on it. And the other staff member in msay says they were not found at that point, although someone said in OOC on accident that they should start with the warehouse when they arrive.
someone as in, one of the raiders.
if I ever say mercs I mean raiders

lolziamusToday at 7:33 PM
In that case, the QM will receive his ban, due to validhunting and metagaming the information that was IC and accidentally posted OOC.
Due to the nature of how the events unfolded, meaning that as soon as he saw the OOC message, he had ordered the gear and initiated a validhunt against the raiders.

YonnimerToday at 7:34 PM
They respond with "That's bullshit, i'll be filing a staff complaint"

lolziamusToday at 7:34 PM
I would link them the forums section for staff complaints and wish them a good day.

YonnimerToday at 7:35 PM
Alright. That should be all, unless you got something to add
Shouldn't be much longer, since this was the last situational question.

lolziamusToday at 7:35 PM
Nothing else. I hope that me explaining how I would solve situations without waiting for you to add their response wasn:t a problem

YonnimerToday at 7:36 PM
No worries.
Ready for the next?

lolziamusToday at 7:36 PM
Yes.

YonnimerToday at 7:36 PM
These will be more personal questions.
If you could change one thing in staff team, what would it be?

lolziamusToday at 7:37 PM
I do not believe the staff team needs a change. At least not now as I see it from the outside. The sfaff team is strong together and would only become better if they continue to communicate and learn from each other.

YonnimerToday at 7:39 PM
Alright. Do you feel anything may effect your trial that you're worried about? Or any concerns as a mod, really?

lolziamusToday at 7:40 PM
I am really open about feedback. Most of the times I may ask simple questions, but that is generally because I'd like to ask the same thing 5 times just to be sure I will not get it wrong later

Apart from that, I do not believe there is anything that would have an effect on my trial.

YonnimerToday at 7:41 PM
Alright. Are there any other things you wanan bring up/concerns you may have wit hanything?

lolziamusToday at 7:43 PM
I only hope that my haste of providing full answers to each question will prove a good thing. Apart from that, there is nothing else. I am aware that there is a lot to learn and I am ready for it.

YonnimerToday at 7:44 PM
Alright
Final, most important question. Do you care if this is posted on your app?

lolziamusToday at 7:46 PM
Yes, I do care because I wish for everyone (those who are interested) to see my answers and have them provide feedback if they wish.

YonnimerToday at 7:46 PM
Alright. That should be all for the interview, then
