Ein's A-1 Officer Application (originally LTCOM)


Ein

Recommended Posts

I've changed this to an Officer application as the Commanders have been picked. However I will not be changing the answers.

My original application will remain up to remain as transparent as possible and to not downplay any opinions & criticism put on that post, however, I have rewritten this to be a little more clear and hopefully clear up some of the controversy surrounding me.

LINK TO ORIGINAL APPLICATION: 

1. Name

Ein (Also go by "Everett Wagner", "Simon Wolffe", and "Darren Marauder")

2 Current and former RP ranks

[Current] MTF Delta-5 1LT, Chief Advisor (CMD), Senior Raptor Operative, Research Administrator, Head of the Mental Anomalies DivisionProfessor (RRA HCMD)

[Former] Security Colonel & Major, Head of Wardens & Deputy Head of Wardens, Juggernaut Enforcer (CMD), RRH Guardian, MTF Nu-7 JFE & LCPL, MTF E-11 RCTC.I. LCPL

 

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 want to be an officer?

First of all, I’ve had a controversial history on the server. I’ve done a lot of dumb shit in the past, and this is most prominent with D5 CMD/HCMD, and also Site Admin. I used to talk a lot of shit about these people, and I won’t deny it, I even was worried that Ozzie getting DoTF would be the downfall of Wardens (my love child in Security), but there’s one thing that makes me different than some previous Security CMD who’ve faced similar “downfalls”

And that’s my willingness to change and learn. My server reputation is kind of in the gutter right now, and it’s almost entirely my fault. Security has a reputation for being considered the “worst” branch by many people, whether it’s dying to D-Class or their bias against X, Y, and Z. I don’t believe I’m the best candidate by any means, but I do intend to shoot my shot at it.

Now, with regards to my actual experiences as a member of command. I’ve been a member of command for 10 out of the 12 months I’ve been on this server, primarily in Security but more recently in Research, and I’ve been Sub-Branch HCMD for probably 8 of those months. I did a ton of shit in my time as the Head of Wardens (and now DHWD). Despite my prior comments about Gamehunter (Which I’ve since moved on from), I still enjoyed my time working with the man and cooperating with the endless amount of Legates I’ve worked under and Praefact’s I’ve worked with (Ezekiel, PlantBruh, Ven, Marthan, Zboz, Pork Rind). In my time I have strived for an extensive amount of things. I've worked on an incomprehensible amount of projects, both ones that have been implemented to the server, ones that are still under discussion, and ones that were thrown out. 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.

I also recognize my limitations and flaws, and it's part of the reason that I'm revising this application, it's to acknowledge them in accordance with the concerns brought up by people like Gamehunter and Kiwi. I've never run a full branch before, but I always see this as an opportunity to grow, learn, and improve. This is an opportunity for me to re-build some lost bonds with the people that I've ruined relationships with in the past (Jrshafer, Gamehunter, and some others). 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 makes you competent to be an officer?

Communication

I am one of the first to communicate when it comes to ideas and concepts, particularly regarding Wardens, but also with the things I’ve worked on outside of Wardens as-well. I constantly mention to both Wardens and regular Security that they are free to ignore the CoC and come directly to me with questions and I will answer them as soon as I can, and I intend to continue this same policy as a member of A-1 CMD/HCMD. Additionally, with regards to communication I typically always respond within 2-3 hours, even if it’s as simple as “I’ll get back to you later”. Communication, and a lack of it can be an incredibly frustrating thing, and I’ve experienced it myself and it’s the reason I don’t wish to be somebody who doesn’t respond for days on a proposal.

Work Ethic

I strive to always find a way to improve myself, or whatever branch I am command in whether it be through writing new documents that clarify confusing things (Such as the recent Wardens SOP rewrite and SCP Containment Guide rewrite, which I wrote with the intention of making it easier for enlisted and other people to get the same information in a less “overwhelming” manner.), and Alpha-1 would be no exception. I’m one of those people who will stay up until 2 AM writing documents (regardless of if it’s a healthy decision or not), and will constantly make changes using feedback provided by either my fellow Sub-Branch HCMD or other personnel.

Unbiasedness

Everybody certainly has some bias, and I don't hesitate to admit that I do have my own biases towards Security and Wardens, so why am I making a section about being unbiased?

Because I don't let it affect my job (at-least anymore), I don't hesitate to swiftly crack down on people branch dissing or acting out of line, regardless of how close they are to me or their rank. Whether it's a OFC or a 1LT, I always do my best to keep people following the MoTD and SOP, and more recently have been cracking down specifically regarding branch diss and toxicity towards other branches. I try to remain as open-minded as possible when I'm considering an issue, and I try to address these concerns to the best of my ability when making certain suggestions (such as the D-Block Airlock Suggestion, where I do my best to look out for D-Class by considering and providing possible get-arounds to such a controversial change, such as alternative routes or being able to hack it open). 

As much as I love Wardens and Security, I will not hesitate to knock people back into line if they're stepping out of it.

Willingness to Change & take Criticism

I think probably the most important aspect I have, above my Work Ethic, Communication, and any other skills is the fact that I am willing to take criticism and feedback, in-fact I strongly encourage it. I repeatedly ask for criticism and feedback of my person and tell both Wardens HCMD and Security CMD to keep me in line if I'm doing dumb shit (and I've mentioned this as early as last November).

A more recent example of this is me when I reached out to Kiwi yesterday regarding his concerns over my application, and to quote

"One of the more biased and immature members of command I've seen, very active but lacking leadership skills or overall having an open mind."

I spoke to Kiwi in DMs and asked for criticism in feedback, of which he gave plenty and provided concerns not just regarding myself, but Security at large and which I intend to address over the coming weeks and months. I understand that being open to feedback and criticism is a crucial part of being Branch HCMD, and I'm trying to be as open and transparent as possible by writing a new post instead of editing my old one to keep the original feedback present.

Leadership

Many of the above aspects all fall into this category, but I'd like to place this here from my original application.

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.

(Originally from LTCOM Application) 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. 

Additionally, I intend to constantly communicate pro-actively with MTF HCMD regarding any proposals and ideas of my / our own. I think the best possible way to build relationships and communication is to be pro-active and transparent with ideas, concepts, and anything of the sort with fellow HCMD both in MTF and outside of it, and this is a policy I intend to pursue if I do get this position.

Additionally, 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. I wish to incorporate roleplay, while also setting an example for fellow MTF in the same ways I mentioned in the previous question.

Please feel free to leave any feedback or criticism, whether it be under this post or in my dms (ein#0001)

Ein has had a questionable history.
HOWEVER, I have seen nothing but improvement from him, especially as of recent. I have worked alongside him for quite some time and I believe this is a step in the right direction.

Ein has been nothing but a boon to Research and while his history can be called into question, his present cannot. He is active, always ready to contribute, and has really helped us keep the wheels turning in Research Command.

 

To everyone parroting the opinion of 'He did this X months, etc.' ago... Stop it. People can and do change, I'm sure you wouldn't like someone putting your own past actions under the same microscope. So far he has not squandered the chance to prove that he is not willing to repeat his mistakes and I think his past actions should be considered but not be the end-all of his reputation. For as long as I've known him, Ein has been professional and helpful so I fully support this application.

I would like to reiterate my former +support on the other application and transfer it over here. No matter the past history Ein has had, what matters is what he has done recently. Which has been exemplary work done for Research as well as Security. I know its hard to move on from past incidents or predicaments, but Ein has at the very least showcased that they have the capacity to change drastically for the betterment of themselves. As such, my previous +support remains, as I still hold that Ein is one of the better picks for the candidacy.

A great cmd member when he was in GenSec prior to his transfer to Delta-5, as well as a generally good RPer, something that A-1 will need when its off the ground. I think he would make a great Commander/LTCOM.

While the situation was unbecoming of ein as a scmd. 1 wrong shouldn't undo everything he's done right. That simply ain't fair. As far as I've seen ein isn't like a terrible person, just made a mistake and hopefully he reflects upon it.

+1, +support, whatever its called here

This is an easy option, Ein may have a history, yet I don't believe one mistake can define him at all. Ein has been on the server a long time, and has shown constant reminders of his skill as a leader, a roleplayer, and just a member of the server.  I believe he is one of two people I'd like to see in this position, and I believe he will show his skills once again as he has in his former/current spots as CMD (GENSEC Col, Legate, D5 1LT, and research manager). Overall, I'd say give him a shot, hes one of the best roleplayers on the server and would bring a much needed freshness to RRH.
