What O5 role are you applying for, and why (give the specific O5 number):
This application is for the position of O5-4. I am applying for this position as I believe I am ready to elevate my contribution to the server as a Roleplay Leader after spending sufficient time in Site Administration and working closely with the Council via the Overseer Assistant job. I believe that the time I have spent has been utilized well in learning how to truly coordinate with other departments, take part in RP or generate it for other players to interest them and I believe at this point I would be ready to take that to the next level as a member of the Council. I believe it presents an opportunity to expand my skills further than they already have via the duties of a Site Administration member that I would like to take and flourish in.

-
What makes you the best candidate for the O5 Council?:
The experience I have gained as a member of Site Administration for just over 3.5 months now has provided me with an excellent foundational skill set on top of what I already had learned via Nu-7 for the Council. The duties I have performed have been numerous and all provide vital skills, such as the creation and maintenance of several documents across this time period such as reviews, meeting notes, official letters and tribunal/citation related documentation. I have also had a chance to get better at the maintenance of documents in general thanks to working in the Site Administration drive with the rest of the team.

On top of documentation, I have worked significantly with various departments in person to both generate RP and provide them a platform for their concerns. Some examples include surprise visits to MTFs to either train them and assess their skills or observe them in action to give advice, offering myself up for surgery with the Medical Department to further contribute to their roleplay and integration of ideas, overseeing GENSEC performing their duties with a Code 2 or commanding the SOP departments in raids or events. I would say that in my time as Site Administration, I have had a chance to have several significant interactions with every department onsite and have learned a great deal about the need to adapt approaches for different situations as a result.

I also already have a great deal of experience in providing a healthy and fun experience to major events on the server. During the first arc of the Cortex storyline when TSH was involved, I was heavily involved as an Nu-7 Lieutenant with one of the prelude events involving an excursion into a Church of The Broken God graveyard, working with Site Administration and GOC CO teams at the time. I then worked with Requis, Broda, Maeve and various other members of SC/Resarch/ISD during the Death storyline as one of the pivotal characters and was happy to take a PK during this event to provide it with a satisfying conclusion. I am currently working with members of the GM team on an ongoing event, specifically the Void events that Richard Mann has been hosting.

On top of all of this, I have had opportunities to specifically work closely with the Council via the Overseer Assistant job. I have had opportunities to perform RP Events with members of Alpha-1 and members of the Council themselves thanks to this opportunity and have had chances to examine departments from a more critical and observant lens when fulfilling requests. I therefore believe that the jobs I have played for the last few months have both served as a fantastic base of skills and experience in order to apply for the position.

What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council in RP?:
I will include these duties in a bullet point list so I can expand on each of them;
Overseeing and Maintaining the Site if necessary: The Council has a much less hands-on approach to their authority over the Site, however at all times when they are onsite they will be expected to keep a close eye on the general conduct of departments and if necessary, step in and exercise their authority on the Chain of Command to provide a quick course correction to the Site.

Working with and utilizing Overseer Assistants: Based on how busy the Council can be at any given moment due to situations on the Site or off of it requiring their immediate attention, working healthily with Assistants is vital to ensure that Overseers have enough time and flexibility in their time on site to be able to perform their job at full efficiency.

Working with Alpha-1: In the same vein as Assistants, Overseers need to healthily work with Alpha-1, given their full authority over them, to ensure that they are protected at all times and that they have an effective method of getting their hands dirty if a situation should arise that calls for it.

Calling a Code Black: If the situation in the Site is completely untenable due to varying factors such as a breach snowballing out of control, the Council as part of Site Command is trusted with the responsibility to acknowledge when the situation is out of control and order a disruption of the entire sites activities to evacuate all staff to the Garage, aside from those who need to be deployed inside as necessary to provide defense.

Activating the Alpha Warhead: Should the situation continue to spiral out of control from the above, the Council is trusted enough to acknowledge when the situation will take hours minimum to resolve due to how far out of control it has gotten and therefore activate the Alpha Warhead, instead opting for an RP reset via the obliteration of anything still inside of the Site upon detonation.


Providing intervention with GOI Relationships if necessary: In the most dire circumstances or when significant events happen that can impact the views the Foundation has of a GOI (such as the GOC) or vice versa, it may fall on the Council to intervene as a show of democracy from the most senior level to maintain relations. This would then have the knock-on effect of furthering the health and interactivity of RP with cross-faction related matters.

Upholding standards of Site Administration: The whole reason the Council are able to take a hands-off approach to their maintenance of the Site is because of Site Administration effectively being their hands in most matters. Given their actual presence and ease of access on site compared to the Council, it is important for their standards of performance and efficiency to be upheld so that they can continue to provide a healthy system of management to the Site alongside the Council.

-
What are the responsibilities of the O5 Council out of RP (e.g. what applications do they handle?):
I will provide another bullet point list so that I can expand upon my responses;
Application Handling: The Council as a collective responds to various applications in the server. These include Overseer Assistants, Site Director and Director of External Affairs. The rest of the Council aside from -1 is expected to provide feedback on any pending O5 applications so that they make an informed judgement on accepting any potential new members into Site Command.

Creation/Signing off on major Site Policy/Documentation: Some policies or documents may carry authority that goes above Site Administration, such as orders about Foundation interaction with other GOIs or changes to the Foundation Legal Codex if they are ever deemed necessary.

Facilitating RP alongside other factions: Due to their position as RP Leaders, the Council may wish to speak to the leaders of other GOIs if they deem it necessary to discuss the state of RP between the relevant factions and if they feel any improvements could be required. This can also be helpful when dealing with OOC issues such as any potential toxicity problems or disagreements, enabling these issues to be calmed down and handled appropriately to further protect server health.

Please give some lore about your O5 character and what storylines they would be involved in:

Incredibly friendly, great roleplayer
Unsure of activity, can a screenshot of your current v-time be sent please?
Hi Biscuits, here is the screenshot you requested.1693905353081.png
I would like to clarify and state it is important to consider that I have been on an LOA for well over the majority of this month due to at first an important travel trip for me that lasted a week, into then getting seriously sick and thus having to take a further LOA. Both Naffen and James should be able to confirm this if you have any concerns, as my average VTime last month was well above the 2-3 day mark. This sort of low spell of activity will not happen unless actual circumstances like the ones I've faced this month occur again.

Thank you.

Oh, I believe we talked about this at one point, thanks for clarifying.
 
Hi @Serrt

I'll be giving a -Neutral today for various reasons to which I'll explain.

Firstly, can you pick one defining moment in your term as Site Manager that helps you stand above the other candidates?

Secondly, what roleplay have you conducted yourself which has benefitted the players on the server? I'm not focused on GM events etc, but any projects issued or any new policies etc.

Finally a few issues with the application:

"The rest of the Council aside from -1 is expected to provide feedback on any pending O5 applications" - No, -1 has to give his input also. Its a voting system and even if -1 votes yes and the other 2 vote no, it does not happen. Everyone must give feedback.

You need to elaborate more on your OOC responsibilities as an Overseer as there are many.

You are a switched on member of Site Administration and in order for me to support your application beyond a neutral I'd need to see some real initiative and push with the position you are in currently. I do wish you the best of luck Cade, but as it stands I don't believe you are ready to become an Overseer just yet.
