- My prior experience within the role of Chairman and my recent tenure as Ethics Committee Member has pivoted me into an ideal position to return to this role once more. My fresh ideas and recently implemented ones (refer to chunk of text below) showcase reasons as to why. I am also eager to keep expanding upon server roleplay but also develop my character further.
- There are multiple reasons as to why I’d be the best candidate over the others, I’ll begin with my vast and lengthy experience displayed above. During my time in all of those positions I have exceeded expectations and gone on to create immensely valuable roleplay that to this day is still referenced and used. To name a few examples, my O5-6 Character was the core component of one of the biggest event chains in server history and I utilised that position to ensure everyone was having fun and engaged in the roleplay taking place. This demonstrates that I can play a character and not jump onto this dangerous “SCP VR Chat” trend that is occurring on SCP UK currently where players don’t roleplay a character but rather themselves. This is something I would aim to dampen as Ethics Chairman once more as the purpose of playing a character is vitally important in how the server’s roleplay environment is cultivated. Alongside that Overseer position I was the first SCP UK player to successfully become O5-1 and Ethics Chairman and have been commended for both of my tenures.
A lot within the Committee to this date is the way it is due to the work I've put into practice. Originally, the position was called Ethics Director which was what I was placed in during my last tenure. During this time I worked with Network Leadership and Community Leader to align this position to become more accurate and friendly, thus the change to Ethics Chairman. I also created the Ethics Assistant Tribunal powers to enable them to be trained in hosting tribunals in the absence of a Committee Member, this was done in a certification manner in which an Ethics Committee Member would run a mock tribunal and train the Assistant within it. To mirror this, My time as O5-1 ‘The Sovereign’ was exceptionally fun and engaging with the majority of the Site. One thing I’d like to highlight is the breaking down of walls between regimented/whitelisted players and your typical Clearance Level One/Two player. I caught a lot of flak for this but I stand my ground in the resolution that we roleplay with all, not just a few. The group in question were 10 Technical Staff who came to Floor 3 one day to just see what was going on, curiosity even. My immediate reaction was to send them packing, but this was not wise and I caught myself on this thought, instead I decided to go down as O5-1 and speak to all of them to find out what they wanted. Eventually, they all began to warm up to the roleplay they were being involved in and in turn became good roleplayers for a time. Now unfortunately, a couple of bad apples ruined it for eight others and this official set up ended in about a week of it being welcomed on Floor 3, but this showcases my open mindedness in how we need to drop ‘Keycard Ego’ and begin to understand that roleplay isn’t just for Clearance Level Four players but for everyone. Only when you roleplay actively and forcefully around those not interested in doing so, do you create the environment you complain you do not have. This is something I will be enforcing as Ethics Chairman if successful. I’ve begun doing this on a minor scale as a Site Advisor with employee reviews which summons all members of each department one by one to a meeting room to discuss their time within the Foundation, worldbuilding if you’d call it that, and they’ll regale me with their history and aspirations. I do not document this roleplay on purpose as documentation focused roleplay is dire and we need more free flow interactions with one another.
Remmy has been a fantastic Ethics Chairman and will encourage me to work harder beyond the scope he envisioned to bring the UK server up to the very best of standards we can only dream of and if successful, I'd work with Remmy if he is also successful to construct, deploy and engage major stories for all players of the server to engage in. This reflects back to my prior point where if you roleplay around those unsure by it or seemingly put off by it, it will only ever encourage them and in most cases involve them to the point they begin roleplaying with you and the scenario at hand. We all have a duty of care when it comes to building the immersion and world around our characters that we want to experience. To add on to this, I have used the abilities of a Game Master to enhance Ethics Committee roleplay and even Omega-1's roleplay with meeting rooms, prosecutors wing and a massive 145 prop dupe for Omega-1 bunks extension for whenever they need it used. To top this off, during my time as Committee Member, I have put in to action my own personal project to realign Site-65 completely and "return them to monke", this involved taking full Foundation Legal Codex control to the Ethics Committee alongside empowering the O5 Council even further with veto power. This is only step one in a multi-step project where things will become more accessible for players and easier to understand your basic duties so you can build off it for roleplay or character development.
- The Ethics Committee is responsible for the authorisation of testing involving human life and whether or not the test has purpose in order to expend such a resource. They use language that is honest to not cover up the seriousness of the matter. For example, a Clearance Level Two Researcher wishes to conduct an SCP-914 test on a D-Class infected by SCP-427 and becomes an instance of the SCP. The Researcher would have to prove this test is beneficial to the Foundation’s mission statement and is a purposeful study. The Committee would then decide if this is appropriate use of D-Class personnel and then authorise their killing.
- Another responsibility in a roleplay setting is the infiltration and observation of other Departments around the Site. The Committee should be blending in with the common ongoings on Site-65 along with the deployment of MTF Omega-1 Operatives to assist. Ethics Committee Assistants would be sent by Committee Members to interview Site staff and issue warning citations for ethical violations on behalf of a Committee Member.
- During a Code Black Evacuation scenario, an Ethics Committee Member is expected to assist Site Administration with the issues plaguing the Site. This can range from the tactical deployment of MTF Omega-1, calling the Emergency Response Team if Site Administration are unable to reach the phone and if required, detonate the Alpha Warhead to reset the roleplay back to before the breach.
- Wielding the immense scope and power of the Internal Security Department to keep site staff in check to avoid arrests piling up. Use of Internal Security is encouraged to investigate departments on a lower level whereas MTF Omega-1 would typically be used as a trump card in more mission critical scenarios.
- The issuing, creation and hosting of the Tribunal System to ensure those who have been summoned are fairly heard and their case argued before a jury of their peers. A Committee Member would be expected to judge these scenarios fairly and without bias. However, this is roleplay and factors may interfere with such due process.
- Be available to take appointments relating to Foundation Legal Codex additions/removals/edits. The Committee is primarily in charge of the Ethical Codex and shares some responsibilities with the Overseer Council on this document.
- The Ethics Committee are expected to give regular operational duties to MTF Omega-1 and maintain their regiment’s image within the Site.
- The Committee as a whole would usually shadow the Overseer Council and ensure everything is in alignment with the mission statement. There is a massive misconception with how the O5 and Ethics work, they assist one another primarily and only ever behind closed doors would the Committee discuss any issues regarding the Council’s actions.
- In a rare occurance, Primary Action. But I much prefer to have this done in serious case scenarios and have worked hard to set up the new realignment to enable this gameplay loop to occur sensibly.
What are the responsibilities of the Ethics Committee out of RP (e.g. what applications do they handle?):
- As this is a Chairman Application, The Ethics Chairman would be required to cast the deciding vote on new Ethics Members or vetoing those they see unfit to become an Ethics Member. This vote process takes place within the relevant forum channels and a lengthy discussion is expected from all Committee Members.
- A Committee Member must vote on Director of Internal Security, MTF Omega-1 Commander and Ethics Committee Assistants. If successful, they must also partake and/or conduct the interview processes. If the Council offers such, the Committee may also give input on other applications controlled by their counterparts, but not usually a deciding vote.
- The maintaining and updating of all relevant Ethics Committee documentation, policies and tribunal related paperwork.
- Create meetings with MTF Omega-1 to review how the regiment is performing and update them on any major storylines/projects that may be occurring.
- Liaise with the Overseer Council in an OOC manner to tackle the bigger issues regarding the Site.
- Work with Site Administration to ensure they have the sufficient support they need with monitoring departments.
- Full control over the Foundation Legal Codex and are responsible for its maintenance.
