Even if I may only know you from ISD and not from your past job as DOR that is the past people can Improve and grow I firmly believe you are the best fit of isd at this moment and time you’ve been nothing but supportive and helpful in all my time in isd I’ve got nothing but positive words to say about you

Best of luck Niko!

Changing this to a neutral due to a lot of the stuff shown I would rather not give a opinion on this

I'm not reading all that. Time to swap places. Send in the other idiot who somehow has more text than me.

I am genuinely surprised by this reply. At no point have you taken accountability for a single thing here, this entire list of answers can be broken down into basically just being a "Nuh uh" of a reply.

The point Claire is putting forward here is that you are an extremely active member of ISD that has a large influence on the members around you. Your actions while on ISD set an example for all of those below you, they gauge what is and isn't allowed based on their leadership. many of your arrests, warrants and investigations boil down to "well you technically did that so im putting you in for maximum time". You are entirely incapable of respecting other players time, even the argument of "law and order roleplay" is thrown out the window when the only thing you are focusing on is making sure as much time is wasted for the victim of the arrest. Let alone the fact that your behaviour OOC is borderline bizarre. Enough of this small talk, I am now going to comment on each and every point you put forward.

Regarding your first point I was indeed removed by SA for making the chem lab an RSD only area. We had many cases of harassment and theft of chemicals by A-1, O-1, and ISD, as researchers were not supposed to be producing such materials. When SA wanted to overturn my decision, I simply said no, which promptly led to my removal. I acknowledge that I should have followed proper procedures, and I didn’t that’s. And a few other things, why I’ve stated that I learned a lot after my time as DoR aswel and didn’t fight the decision.

While your leadership within the RSD as DoR wasnt great, I fully understand how you feel about this punishment being unfair, SL are known for having a hair trigger on these topics, however if I do recall, this was one of many warnings/strikes you received while holding the position, from what I have gathered and learned, you were not booted from the department for one single breach of procedure. I will however take this as a reasonable answer to give and drop the topic of your DoRship.

As for cases 1 through 3, I wasn’t involved and couldn’t have prevented them, as I simply wasn’t there. Cases happen that shouldn’t, and as ISD leadership, we work hard to tackle and prevent them but unfortunately, we can’t be present for every arrest or scenario.

This is not the point of the clips Niko. The actions of these ISD members mirror the actions you take yourself. You do not punish, tackle or prevent any of these cases neither before nor after them taking place, each and every time they have gotten off scott free, not once have I seen you take initiative to actually punish members of the ISD that actively disrupt site this way. While I understand you have only been Commissioner for a short period of time, we both know you were not powerless as an Inspector. Nearly every single time I was brought to a hearing over another one of your pointless and petty warrants against either me or Claire, you were authorized to do so by DoISD Tim Drake, you had plenty of authority even without that. If you are able to train, lead and guide as you have stated in your application, a "Pillar of the ISD". Yet you didn't, not once have i seen a single member of ISD be reprimanded for a false arrest, wasting of time or overall abuse of power.
Unless this is exactly what you want the ISD to be, which feeds directly into my previous comment, in such a position of DoISD, you would enforce this standard for ISD, damaging server health even more than it has already been.

For case 4, I was involved, so I can give my side. As shown in the bodycam footage that was given to me, a thauma was being arrested while you shouted “Why?” and stepped in front of the arrest, making it harder for the agent to proceed. The warrant wasn’t made by me and I personally wouldn’t have made it but since it existed, I reviewed the evidence and it appeared you were trying to stop or hinder the arrest, so I agreed with the agent’s decision. Later, Morikas and I discussed it with SA, and the case was dropped.

This is simply a gross misrepresentation of the situation. You made. a WARRANT, for the ARREST, of a SR CL4, for being close to an ISD Investigator while they cuffed and dragged away a Researcher without having even the slightest inkling into the situation as a whole, so much for "Roleplay". The only reason the case was dropped was because it became too much trouble for you to go forward with the bogus claim after the Site Director was notified. You would know, you dropped them.

For case 5, I’d say I’m one of the most insulted people on site due to my suit and being ISD. I get called all sorts of names, but I’ve never arrested anyone solely for an insult. I’ve only issued misconduct charges when someone was already being arrested and continued insulting everyone on the way to ISD as I was trained to do.

I have no idea how to be polite about this one, ill try.
You have nobody but yourself to blame for the "Insults" you get regarding your suit, you chose to have the most obnoxious looking suit so red it would put Hazbin hotel to shame, you very much HAVE arrested people on the soul basis of an "insult" I.E calling you a communist (which you brought upon yourself), calling you a dictator (which you brought upon yourself) or any other comment on your attire, let alone the fact that i have had researchers coming up to me in the past saying that you authed their arrests for daring to call you out on your bs. Hell, you don't even comprehend the FLC properly, mixing up charges so bad you are able to double somebodies sentence.

One key fuck up of yours that I have personally experienced would be an arrest over a Tech Expert who called you a commie, you had him detained, warned and released, at which point he called one of your agents "A wankstain", This somehow warranted 2 ISD agents to arrest him for misconduct right infront of you, you do not educate them on the FLC, you do not "teach them", you allow them to chase the Tech Expert around, unbothered by the insane power tripping infront of your own eyes, this is not "adding it in on top of other charges", this is arresting someone over a mean word given to you for wasting their time.

Also you somehow managed to mix up Assault with Conspiracy? Two entirely different things...

Full clip here:

Case 6, I wasn’t part of. If an image were to break, I wouldn’t terminate a test or sampling over it, as that would've discourage RSD members and be petty.

This is one of those "Nuh uh" answers... It happened... Denying it does not make it unhappen...

As for case 7, I’ve never done such a thing. I always offer people the option to have legal counsel, and I’d say at least half the arrests I conduct or assist with include legal representation. I actually encourage it, as it creates much more RP and trains agents to be ready with their bodycams to pretend false or exaggerated charges, since those are more likely to be caught.

While legal counsel is possible due to the efforts of Myself, Claire and Ehrendil, this does not mean that you posting "CL4 RSD to ISD" during every single arrest makes it work. I have had multiple Execs burnout and stop playing for long periods of time due to how frustrating this "legal counsel" can be, the Exec or DoR enters the interrogation room, asks for the charges, waits 5-10 minutes for the charges to be decided AND THEN gets to argue their Researchers case. During this "legal counsel" the ISD usually just ignore any points given to them by the Exec, the most common response would be "An FLC violation is an FLC violation", bodycam is often refused, petty charges often get added on afterwards to ensure the time wasted for the Researcher is still maxed and even when the ISD know they are wrong, they will "RP" by "destroying the bodycam", in which case they will arrest the Researcher anyway (sending a person into a room for 20 minutes, unable to play the game whatsoever) while also having absolutely no evidence that anything actually happened, on the basis that the agent "saw this happen". GSD Captains have the same problem, in fact I have heard from both Jaffar and Marrio that most Captains barely play the server anymore due to the incessant arrests over trivial and petty bs.

I say all of this because this is EXACTLY how every single meeting I have had the displeasure of interacting with you during an arrest has went.
There is no "out" in any of it, it serves as another meaningless time dump to waste more of both the Researcher/Guard/Doctors time alongside the Departments CL4+. As for encouraging Agents to "be ready with their bodycams", in reality you have been one of the core trouble makers in this exact topic, I have heard far to many stories from my Execs of you overpowering them and assisting agents/operatives/investigators in NOT providing their bodycams, in fact the only impact you have had on legal counsels with RSD have been to make them longer, more tedious and inevitably pointless, as each and every time it simply ends up with the Researcher being arrested with all charges intact anyway. This problem was not around during Ehrendils tenure as he was capable enough to manage the ISD in a way that prevented this. I am unable to see how you could possibly do the same considering every single interaction I have had with you.

I believe you’re blaming me for many of ISD’s broader problems, which feels unfair. That would be like me reporting you for having your people abuse their magic abilities or the exploits of RCPT’s for profit so much that they stated they don’t even know what to do with all the money anymore.

While i do believe you have A LOT to do with many of the problems within the ISD now, I will put this aside and instead remind you that you are applying for the DIRECTOR OF THE ISD position, you are going to be upheld to the same standard any other Director will be held to, I am bringing up so many of these problems due to the fact that YOU will be in charge of either changing, or maintaining it, from what you have done in your junior leadership positions, you are simply not fitting.

YES, we ARE responsible for what our Researchers do, that's why we did whatever we could to FIX it. In the case of RCPT, I will not accept any argument saying that they earn to much money when the ARUC exists.

I shouldn’t have sent that message, and I’ve already apologized in my appeal. I wanted to send that apology to you, But I respected the no contact request, as that was indeed childish of me.

Correct. Niko W.

Regarding the peak comment that was about the satire video of the ISD arrest. I’m that came across badly. i appreciated the effort put into making the video about ISD, it’s a shame how easily words can be misunderstood.

You are not being clever here, you structured this to make it as if WE are in the wrong for taking it that way. It is not "A shame how easily words can be misunderstood". It was your own mistake to post a message ironic or not endorsing very genuine problems that should be addressed, it would have been all fine and dandy if you had actually brought this issue up to your directors and attempted to do something about this issue before making a silly joke about multiple people having their time wasted over ridiculous reasons. Again, this was YOUR mistake, own up to it instead of deflecting it as a misinterpretation.

Regarding the evidence that’s simply not true. I returned every document I found in the commissioners’ office when I became one, and you didn’t request anything else afterward, saying you were just glad it was finally over. The door codes were something you refused to share, which I agreed with later Alex gave them to me anyway, which I still don’t fully understand.

As for the sampling like I mentioned before, this was Alex Redmont’s idea. He approved and signed it, stating that SA also agreed. If he hadn’t wanted it, why would he have asked for 10% more if commissioners could sign instead of him? That clearly showed he understood the agreement fully, even though he later claimed he was “too drunk” to remember. My own Director Hersh signed it, and the sampling document was approved by both Executive Alex Redmont and Lebronic Ujel as they deemed it acceptable.

Regarding the issue that started this plan Alex told me that RCPT couldn’t supply the chemical orders I kept sending him, as he always declined them. I didn’t mind paying, but he could never produce what we needed. He could, however, make 5L of NHU and only sell it to the first person who showed up after production. I offered to buy all 5L on the spot for a higher price than listed, but he refused to sell them to us, which was very strange. But there wasn’t much we could do, The plan was created so ISD could get the chemicals we needed especially NHU which was depleted and to stop our amnestics from running out completely. Meanwhile, RCPT would gain more chemicals to work with.

Just for context A-1 can sample without needing any researchers, which is a separate issue in itself.

This has already been cleared up with Alex and quite frankly I am fed up with this constant back and forth with RCPT, I have no doubt that if you somehow get this position, the drama will continue.

Hopefully our next interations could be a bit better!

Lets hope so my friend

I want it to be known that i do not dislike you, this message is my honest thoughts, I am simply not happy with how you have played on the server, nor how you have treated me during my time on it.
