Ein's A-1 CMDR/LTCOM Application (ORIGINAL)

[Ein]

I've put up a new application, this is far outdated.

 

1. Name: Ein (Also go by "Everett Wagner", "Simon Wolffe", and "Darren Marauder")

2. Current and former RP ranks

[Current] Security Major, Deputy Head of Wardens, Research Manager, Head of the Mental Anomalies Division, C.I. LCPL

[Former] Security Colonel, Head of Wardens, Juggernaut Enforcer (CMD), RRH Guardian, MTF Nu-7 JFE & LCPL, MTF D-5 IRO & SGT, MTF E-11 RCT

Note: I'm aware I have 2 lives already, if I got this position I would resign from one of my positions.

3. SteamID: STEAM_0:1:440507902

4. DiscordID: ein#0001

5. What position are you applying for?(CMDR/LTCOM) LTCOM

6. Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the Commander position?

I'd like to start off with my extensive experiences in being HCMD in sub-branches. I did quite a bit in my time as the Head of Wardens (and now DHWD). I've been Sub-Branch HCMD for a period of about 6-7 months now in the Wardens sub-branch, and in this time I have strived for an extensive amount of things. I've worked on a variety of projects and pushed for an endless amount of things. However, I think the most important aspect of these experiences is my work ethic. I will work tirelessly to ensure that the branches and sub-branches I command are the best they can possibly be. I am pretty much always available, constantly offering to allow people to ignore the CoC and go directly to me for questions. Additionally, I spend hours and hours for days on end proposing new ideas, writing new documents, and leading my Wardens (and Security) to enjoy their time on the server.

But I don't only focus on the combat aspect of things. I have been fighting for more roleplay on this server since I became a member of Security Command (and now Research CMD). I constantly am organizing GENSEC and Wardens to stray away from the traditional "Sit in D-Block Intersection and do nothing" playstyle because I believe nobody enjoys, whether you're a d-class or a member of GENSEC.

But I also recognize my limitations and flaws. I've never run a full branch before, but I always see this as an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve. A person will always make mistakes and will never know how to run a branch until they're actively doing it, just like me. I've made dumb decisions in the past and I paid the price for it (in the form of not getting DHOS), but I've learned from these experiences and I joke about them now because I've moved on and changed. This is why I'm applying for LTCOM instead of CMDR, I wish to learn the ropes before I make another big jump. I constantly advocate for promotions of some underrecognized people in SCMD meetings and fight tooth and nail to just give somebody the chance to shine, so I hope this same philosophy will apply when the choices are made on who becomes A-1 CMD/HCMD.

7. What specific skills and qualities do you possess that make you competent enough to run the branch?

I'll organize this into 2 specific skills

Dedication - I think I have demonstrated this best through Wardens, I work tirelessly, sometimes staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning to get something as simple as a proposal done. I constantly rewrite documents, propose new changes, and overall work to ensure that Wardens is an enjoyable yet player-friendly sub-branch. Most recently, as of current, I've been working on 3 Document rewrites that are directly related to Wardens, and I intend to carry this same level of dedication to A-1. On top of all of this, I'm pretty much always available. I am constantly informing Wardens and Security "Always feel free to dm me, I'll pretty much always get to you within 2-3 hours." and I most certainly never read anybody on read.

Leadership - A lot of my skills are best presented through Wardens, but I'd like to first take a look at the Security aspect of things. I provide reasonable leadership, being forgiving yet strict and always making sure to intervene when necessary. As a member of Senior Command, I've constantly rallied my Security in-game to take back D-Block or organizing them against C.I., and regardless of if we win or not, I am always patting security on the back and looking at the positives instead of the negatives, but this doesn't mean I don't crack down when necessary. I despise when people insult other branches because I don't think many people realize how important Medical or MTF truly is, and I will always not hesitate to pull somebody aside, or issue strikes and any other form of punishment for acting out of line.

8. How do you plan on running the branch?

I intend to run Alpha-1 with a focus around roleplay and professionalism. I constantly strive to make my Wardens both professional and to get them out of D-Block, and I intend to use this same philosophy here. I want to focus on setting up checkpoints, I.D. checking, and making an endless amount of passive RP scenarios that would make A-1 feel "alive" to both new players and members. I hate how a lot of the server is centered around combat, and I intend to integrate roleplay into our combat scenarios. Instead of immediately gunning down someone for saying "RRH", I intend to work with other branches, calling an AOS and asking for assistance from Security and getting peacekeepers online.

With regards to the professionalism aspect, I intend to ensure that all members of A-1 follow orders and are respectful, even while CMD isn't online. I feel like its important to enforce the idea that being a member of A-1 is a privilege and not a right. I want A-1 to be a respected and prestigious sub-branch that is known for it, and sets an example for new players, Security, MTF, or anybody else.

Lastly, I intend to give people a shot. Like I said at the start of this application, I fight tooth and nail to give people who may not be in the spotlight a chance to shine as members of CMD, whether it's in sub-branches or in regular CMD, and I intend to utilize the same philosophy here. I've always recognized potential in people and it's gotten them far (such as my decision to appoint Marthan to Wardens HCMD instead of a more "obvious" choice). I will always give somebody a chance to shine, but I also intend to be there to knock them into line every step of the way.

9. How will you maintain strong relationships and communication with other branches?

Through constant availability. The best way to communicate and respond to anything is to always be available, and I am offering that as a member of A-1 HCMD. I'm a person who hates getting left on "read" or ignored when I issue a new proposal, and I think anybody who's been sub-branch HCMD or HCMD and faced a similar issue would be dissatisfied too. Being able to immediately respond to an incident, along with being able to immediately communicate for any possible changes, proposals, or getting approval for branch updates is an incredibly large factor, but there's more than just that.

I intend to utilize all of the Foundation's resources in A-1's operations. As I mentioned in the previous question, instead of gunning down people for saying Redacted terms, I could get Security Peacekeepers to flag up to arrest the subject for an interrogation, and utilizing the full expanse of the foundation's resources. I feel that some features, responsibilities, and equipment would "undermine" the duties of some branches, and I intend to ensure that all branches play a part in A-1's operations so that A-1 doesn't feel like an isolated group of people, but as "all-encompassing", in a similar manner to having Guardians, Logistics, and Analysts.

Ein is a solid fellow, Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing him before his return to security, He has shown wonderful leadership capabilities during his time back. Taking charge for us Wardens as needed. Truly someone I feel does well in a position of authority, no doubt in my mind that he will go to do great things for the foundation, and the server as a whole.

I would definitely say that our server strives more for PvP however RP is fun too!! 
 

reading you application I can see over the past few months how the wardens is changing they are not always in D-Block area and they doing other things as well. I feel like not to long ago I’d always see 2 or 3 always in D-Block int not doing anything else and I see wardens on but I’m like they not at D-Block intersection all the time now. It’s nice but also can become a hazard for D-Class to breach however I enjoy how your trying to include more RP into the sever and I feel like A1 could use that to its advantage with the new branch coming in. It can shift some of how we do things a little, but not too much cause bang bang shooty shoot is fun.

To add to this, I've spent a lot of time on the server alongside this dude, and I think he is one of the hardest workers on the server. His drive to bring more RP, and the accompanying skill that allows him to act on this drive is something i've always been incredibly envious of. He is constantly pushing for innovation and improvement, never settling for things "just working", which we absolutely need more of in this server's command, and I think for all these reasons he would make for an excellent CMDR/LTCMDR.

I'm gonna say this here, don't share it outside of this channel but I do not think GameHunter should be allowed back into SCMD ever I consider him by far one of the worst SCMD members ever and he reminds me of Monk I just wanna state that for future reference I just dont fucking like him I honestly never did I know shit talking behind someones back is a bit of a dick move but I was kind of forced to play it cool with him I'll give a basic summary of why I don't like GameHunter here. My original point was a bit exaggerated, but I still don't like him. I'll also clarify a few things Firstly, I consider him one of the Worst SCMD because I hold myself and the rest of SCMD to a pretty high standard, I think he's deserving and capable of of CMD, just not SCMD. I think his toxicity and actions in general just don't warrant him being a SCMD member again. He hasn't/isn't always a dick, but the majority of the time he is. Now onto my actual reasons.

1. GameHunter's personality was most of the time just a giant middle finger to me. Any time I was on he was kind of just looking for a fight and directly insulted me on multiple occasions. While I didn't mind, and I didn't consider it big enough of an issue to bring up with HCMD. It was extremely annoying to deal with. Most of the "problems" of Wardens were blamed on me, and he went as far as to say that I did basically nothing for Wardens, which pisses me off. I'd put what I've done for Wardens here, but I think it's unnecessary, if you really wanna know you can DM me. 2. He didn't communicate much and was basically just extremely inactive, I could never really go to him with anything (to an extent because he just kind of gave me a middle finger). I've communicated more with Wardens CMD/HCMD in the 2 months that I've been WP than he has in 4 months as WP/WL. He was also just generally a dick and I think some of his decisions negatively impacted Wardens (In particular, him being strongly against the idea of working with RFA/CTF), however that's just opinion. I want that to be the end of this conversation, mostly because I don't want to drag it out unnecessarily. The point is, I don't like GameHunter and don't think he should be SCMD again. I also think some of my attitude is coming from the fact I haven't taken an LOA while I've got a bunch of shit to be doing, so I'll be taking an LOA.

You seem to be doing better since you have came back, but you are absolutely not ready for a HCMD position yet until you have proven not to make the same mistakes as in the past

I was under the impression that we had moved past this (at-least from my interactions with you post-resignation). In my resignation post a while back I stated.

"I know we don't really like eachother, but this is my formal apology. I don't really give a shit about anything you've said in the past anymore, I haven't for a while. I was probably overreacting and in a bit of a mood when I sent those messages, you did some good work for Wardens."

- My Resignation Post

I know this probably wasn't the best apology of all time, but I assure you I meant it. This also took place 6+ months ago if I remember correctly.  In the months since I had stopped caring, I consistently attempted to improve relations with MTF and consistently complimented them for good work, and more recently I got in contact with Shadows to clear some things up. I don't mean to justify the things I said in the past, but I've tried to clarify that I'm working to move past these issues, one of which is through acknowledging this in my application.

"I've made dumb decisions in the past and I paid the price for it (in the form of not getting DHOS), but I've learned from these experiences and I joke about them now because I've moved on and changed." 

Feel free to dm me with any concerns, I'd like to hear about any issues you have with me so that I can work on them.
