[Holding] Site Manager, C.I Gamma, Gensec Captain
[Held] MTF A-1 CSG, E-11 CPL
SCP-096 {Holding}

Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:
None.


What O5 role are you applying for, and why (give the specific O5 number):
The position im attempting to apply for is -4. My application is so that i can progress myself within the server as being a site manager it is only natural to wish to be in a position such as -4 to be able to provide a much more enhanced experience with the players and at all just change my experiences as it is the ultimate goal for me.


What makes you the best candidate for the O5 Council?:
Over the course of time I have spent within Site-65 I have gained in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the facility both in character and out of character. I understand what it takes to make sure that fun, entertaining Roleplay can be achieved. Alongside this, my experience within Alpha 1 has prepared me for some of the duties that the overseer council face, and also with my current position as a site manager I have gained experience in holding a senior role and am respected by both my peers and members of the facility which is vital if you wish to be listened to in this position. With this, I truly believe I could create good, genuine roleplay that would benefit all parties included.

During my time as a Site Manager, I have been able to enhance the skills that I did not have prior to joining site administration. My communication skills have greatly increased, and I am able to view situations differently and with a much better view. This role has also enhanced the traits that I already had. That being that I am still able to show leadership, be firm but fair, and give credit where it is due being able to recognize when the best is being given and when someone is not pulling their weight. Being able to give good advice that people are able to use to help them improve and be the best they can be.

to add to this with my experience that i have gained by having my rejection from my previous application it has given me a time for self development and improve even further as an individual.

What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council in RP?:
-Overlooking the foundation as a whole and ensuring that all departments are performing to the best of their ability by delegating work to the correct departments aka Site administration.
- Enforcing the legal codex and constantly monitoring it to ensure that it is kept up to date with whatever the foundation may have to offer so that it is a safe working environment for all along with the combined help of the ethics committee
- In the event of a situation becoming out of control such as a major breach that is not able to be contained. Activating countermeasures to ensure that SCPs are not able to reach the surface and reek havoc
- They are in direct command of the ISD Regiment Alpha-1 by ensuring that they are able to carry out their duties and giving then specific tasks to be carried out to ensure safety within Site-65
- Coming to agreements/alliances with outside groups of interest, Establishing treaties that could both benefit the foundation and the other parties involved [With the help of Site Administration]


What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council out of RP (e.g. what applications do they handle?):
The applications that the O5 council handles are as follows:
-Site Directors
-Overseer Assistant
Overseer Council applications [Chief Overseer has final say]
Alpha 1 Commanders

The out of RP responsibilities for O5 are the leading bodies to the progression of RP they either create or lead the scenarios. Working with game masters to create storylines alongside looking for the best way to positively help the health of the server from a Roleplay standpoint.

F.Y.I This application may seem like a copy and paste from the previous application. However i feel that the previous application hit all the relevant points and doesn't need to be changed as for the feedback i was given for my refusal was addressed as this was not particularly part of the rejection.

If this is the case where it is an issue i will delete this application and start from scratch.

Background
Growing Up

He grew up in the rougher parts of the country in a small local community he quickly learned that if you want to survive, he will need to learn how to adapt to his surroundings and making friends became an extremely important aspect in his life. His father owned a small office just inside of the city and his mother was an unemployed alcoholic that spent more time looking down and the bottom of a bottle than showing any affection to her family. This led to Mark becoming estranged with his mother. Eventually, Mark went into work with his father, All was going well with work. He was making a decent enough living and began to take pride in his work. One day during a routine day a strange man entered the office and approached his father. At first, his father seemed uneasy with the stranger, When Mark went to assist his father gave him a fearful look so Mark halted. As time went on a few months had passed and all was normal, but then the stranger showed up once again. This time the stranger was a lot more aggressive than the previous visit by verbally attacking his father and even physically pushing him because the last time Mark remembered that he was not to get involved which ate at him. Later that day he asked his father to tell him who he was and what his business was. It turns out that the man was a loan shark and his father owed him a substantial amount of money. He threatened his father and told him that if he didn't pay that his days were numbered and if any attempts to contact the authorities that family members would be killed. Mark, distraught with the news, ran scenarios in his head trying to find away to deal with the loan shark without contacting the authorities or making matters worse. A week passed. His father did not show up for work and didn't contact to say why he was absent. Mark was concerned and called with no answer and went to his father's home. The stranger had beaten his father from inches from his life. Mark left with no other option, contacted the police. When the police arrived they were aware of the loan shark. Using mark as bait the arranged a sting to make the stranger give mark a large sum of money and illegal drugs which was enough to apprehend the stranger and they were able to connect him to many other brutal attacks within the country Mark feeling that there was more to life and wanting to help people in similar situations decided to have a change of career.

The Academy/The Force
Mark made the decision to join the police force to help others that were in his situation along with many others. He felt the need to be able to help the people that might not be able to help themselves and try to make people feel safer, He took an oath to serve and protect. Mark understood that he was walking into a different world from what he knew and that everything was about to change. Early on in his career he learned what it meant to be a police officer encountering many types of individuals. This made Mark learn how to adapt to different people and be able to relate to them to make them trust him. After several years Mark had been made part of the detectives dealing with a lot more In Depth situations and having to catch criminals and big timers. Knowing the risks of the job, Mark never felt that he could connect with anyone and have a family as the fear of them being put at risk was too great. In turn this made Mark always able to have a clear mind but also made him dismissive to any attempts of true friendship or companionship. At a certain point in his career, he was investigating a store robbery that resulted in the owner being shot and killed. Whilst looking at the footage he witnessed a young boy violently attack the shopkeeper when his back was turned and rob the till. This made Mark feel uneasy because he seemed to recognize the boy but could not place his face. During the investigation, it had shown that the young boy was the son to the stranger that felt like a long-distant memory has now resurfaced. With the knowledge he learned, Mark became obsessed with the case and drilled into finding the stranger once again and bringing him to the opposite end of bars or prison cells. Mark learned that there was a raid on the stranger's house; his name was Eric Solverton. Mark insisted to be part of this raid, and with his rank within the force, he was able to attend the raid. When the raid began Mark became uneasy and wanted to enter the house. Eventually, he entered after the riot squad and found that the house had been empty as there were no signs of Eric or his family. A year later Eric had resurfaced. Mark had taken an unexpected path and decided to join the riot squad because he felt that he could be more useful putting his life on the line for his fellow brothers in the force, after learning the news of Eric's resurface he once again wanted to act. Another raid was made in an attempt to recapture Eric. Once the raid began Eric was quickly apprehended and imprisoned. After this, he decided that enough was enough and decided that it was time for him to leave the force. Just as Mark was leaving, he noticed an individual with a strange logo book and of curiosity approached him.

I have to agree with what Broda said. You are a very good guy and most definetly a good member of SL however I do not think you are ready as of yet for the position of overseer. The main reason for this is that I have not seen you create / lead many events as other people have around the site / server. You have the correct experience however some things do most definitely need to be touched up on. If you are denied I would take the reasons for your denial and try to work to combat them. ( no hard feelings mate )

You afk and stare into the walls too much and haven't shown much as a Site Manager.
Not usually one for responding to responses to applications but i feel this some what needs addressed.

As per my last application this was the core reason that this was denied with my Server Leadership responsibilities would often leave me were i had to go AFK. Prior to making my second application i had directly spoken with -1 to see if in his eyes the correct amount of improvement has been made which confirmed he had seen a lot better i never go afk for on the job of site manager even if its for a small period of time i switch off. Furthermore you say i haven't shown much as site manager Since my time joining as site manager i have helped steer negotiations with UNGOC not to a great deal but there have been key moments that i have given input or provided help.

I believe that i have been a key factor in the increase of e-11 roster and activity as of late. With helping them come up with a better way to promote their regiment and showing them fun ways to be able to adhere to their duties and trainings to help sharpen their skills had extensive talks with both their commanders and also the cos in order to help them push to be just as good that i know they can be with breaches and dealing with them quicker and efficiently with the way of simple communication and running mock breaches. Alongside this i have been asked directly by Nu-7 Co's to be the supervisor to the Guardian angels as they said and i quote " With the resignation of Steven, there is a slot open in GA for the "Site Administration Supervisor". Would you like it since you seem to be the one SA who actually takes advantage of GA" and since getting their supervisor i have had a much more hands on role for them providing my previous experience and implementing into their trainings that i have been spearheading to again hone their escorting skills. I have spearheaded multiple cross trainings with both NU7 and E11 to help them be able to work together more

You then have the other departments such as Internal Affairs and DEA with this im currently in the works of helping these departments get better by hosting trainings, Q&A's to help them better themselves in their selected areas working alongside their command structure so that they can be kept in the loop and learn from me.

Whenever i wish to do some sort of experiment i always have a researcher accompany me more so the junior researchers so they can gain valuable experience on how a test should be conducted that co insides with the current FLC

I show a very active presence within the site with my time on i visit at least once ever area of the facility that being from HCZ all the way to surface so that people can see who i am and feel more comfortable when they need to approach me with something.

You say that you agree with broda which is fine as that is your right. However i struggle to see where you can comment on not being able to see me lead/create events as with your current position inside the foundation to mines is that we are more likely not to interact as your job mainly focuses around alpha one and the overseer council. When you are on we are mostly in completely different areas and if you read the comment to broda this may change your thoughts as it seems there may be a lot of things you don't see given your position.

However i do appreciate you even taking the time to make a response to this application no hard feelings are taken in the slightest i just hope that you given a verdict based on more information.

Thank you

Going to respond to this aswell, back when I was a consultant scotsman has helped me a great deal with medical due to an inactive DoM. He has helped me to identify and take on any problems that were active in the department.
