Itseasytosee (rectification) - all rounder

[Itseasytosee2me]

Who am I?
I'm itseasytosee. I've been an ss13 player for 6 years, and a /tg/station for nearly 5 years. I am a retired admin, and have made 94 approved contributions to the /tg/ github. In my time here, I've learned so much about game design, programming, and how this community works and interacts with itself. This game has so many intricate systems and player phenomena that are worth so much studying and analyzing. These lessons can teach us how to make the game a more fun and fulfilling experience.

Goals
First and foremost, I intend to keep the wheels of policy turning. I intend fully to cooperate with my fellow headmins, engaging in fruitful deliberation and discussion to make the best possible decisions

• I value player agency and want to empower players to do fun things.
• I value the vibes and theme of our setting. I want to uphold the mystique of a futuristic space station and want to protect players who act per their character
• I value the fun of this game and want to avoid awkward policies that are semantic or contrived. Band-aid style policy fixes should be avoided when we can address a core issue instead
• I want players to feel comfortable playing the game. I don't want players to fear a looming threat of administration while not breaking the rules.
• I will fight to create a roleplay environment consistent with the goals of our servers. I will support initiatives to thwart NRP-style behavior, security officers losing meta-protections upon wordless arrest is a great example of how we can encourage

Policy
I will cooperate with other headadmins to come to the best decision when it comes to proposed changes to the policy. I find it quite enjoyable to read the posts and opinions of any person responding to a policy thread, whose thoughts can be anywhere from poorly developed to very insightful. I'll be keeping an open mind, taking a rational and well-thought-out approach to decision-making. Policy should exist to empower players to act as they desire, and then draw the line where the behavior is unrealistic or otherwise unacceptable. I'm not afraid of change, and if a novel idea would benefit the game I will be ecstatic to argue on its behalf.

Policy isn't always about things you can't do, sometimes it's about empowering players to do more. I want to have players' backs when they do dramatic and narrative things.

Heya! You mention a lot of values and things to uphold, how do you intend to do those things? Will you keep them in mind when discussing with the admin team or write policy around them?

I will always keep these things in mind while making decisions and discussing with fellow admins. If I have a good idea on how to uphold fun, vibes, and player agency, and you also seek to achieve those things, then all I should have to do is explain myself well and you should be just as enthused about it as I am.

Policy takes time and deliberation. Before I promise any big changes, I would at least get the opinions of my comrade headmins. Because likewise, if they (being of sound mind) want to uphold all the things I do, then they should only have to explain themselves well and I will understand their concerns or additions.

Thank you for the question.

Do you think there is, or should be, a strong divide of LRP and MRP? Is it more important that players can easily adapt to both, or for them to have unique culture and gameplay?

Of course, if we can accommodate two different groups of people with vastly different interests with something as simple as a fresh coat of rules, then thats a good thing.

However, I do not think there is a sacred divide between MRP and LRP, and the playerbases are more similar than they are different. I would like to keep it so that players can feel comfortable making the leap from one ruleset to another should their courage allow.

I've played on both rule sets throughout the years, and I don't think that either are objectively worse than the other as of current. I don't think merging the rulesets would be a terrible thing, but I've yet to be convinced about what good it would do.

What motivated you to run for headmin in this election?

If you don't get headmin this term, will you run in future ones?

Are the factors that resulted in your retirement still present issues for you? There's no need to go into detail on that if it's personal.

Thank you for asking! Truth be told I don't intend to win, but would be happy to take up office if I do. I'm running because its fun and an exercise in space station politics.

I may run a more committed campaign in the future, but before that, I'd likely have to retake up the role of admin and become more active in the discord, and generally become a more well known and appreciated figure. I think I have the moxie for it.

I retired because I was awfully swarmed with class and felt bad hanging a purple name that I hadn't made any effort to uphold in the last few months of my adminship. I had a fun time while I was there though, mostly events, and the minor stuff. Felt like I did some decent work in fun creation. One of these days I'll re-apply for admin. Then I'll put in some serious effort into constructing a campaign that can have some momentum behind it.
