What Ethics Committee role are you applying for, and why:
At this time. I am applying for the Role of Ethics Committee Member.

I believe it can be seen the way of what i apply for. From my time in this server. It has always been a priority for me to put Roleplay as the first. And combat as the second. The reason as to why i am choosing to go for Ethics Committee instead of the Overseer council is simple. The way of RP im more passionated about is with the Ethics Committee.

I've always been passionated about How the Ethics Committee works. And what they do. And by now. I think i am ready to take on as the role as Ethics Committee Member.

Ever since i first applied for Ethics Committee Member when it was Broda and Sceptre as a committee. I've always looked upon as to what they are doing. And i've been doing the same right now as an Assistant. Working alongside a lot with the Committee. And always trying to participate in any possible scenario possible. I would have a lot of more reasons which for i am applying for ECM. But i wouldn't wish to keep thiws Application too Long.


What makes you the best candidate for the Ethics Committee?:
I believe what makes me the best candidate for Ethics is my passion of this server. Here will be some reasons as to why i believe i could be the best choice for Ethics Committee Member.

Interactivity and Leadership around the server.



As in my multiple roles on this server. I've had the chance of interacting a lot with players. May it be new players. Or Old players coming back. I've always had the chance of interacting with Departments and their leadership to regard as to problems that can be solved. I wish to put in a example which i think would be a great step towards The Ethics Committee.

The June ISD Situation
Now , I do understand that, yes , I didn't handle this all alone , and I did have assistance from each respective side of command. But today, I wish to set in my management skills. During June 2025 , ISD was having a big issue. This was that the current two directors were not doing their job correctly. After which, a hearing was set by the current Ethics Committee Chairman at the time, Broda Kagen , in which we went to hear about the employment of the two directors at that time.

In the end of this, the two directors were removed from their positions, leaving the department without directors. Instead, there were at that time three commissioners, of which two applied for director. We also had an inspector apply for director. In the end of the applications, one commissioner became director and one inspector became director. Unfortunately, one of the directors resigned the next day, leaving us with one director, who too shortly after resigned.

Now , there were two commissioners left in the department, which, unfortunately, one resigned, and one received a Clearance-4 blacklist, leaving the department with zero senior positions. At this time, I was the liaison for site affairs, meaning that in game, I would be there most of the time to lead the department as there was no one to lead their department in a senior position. In these times, I had the chance to prove myself as being good at leadership and interacting with departments. I used this chance to prove myself, leading Clearance-3 members of the department, and sometimes the inspectors in the site during investigations or other situations.


Ethics Assistant CoC Rework proposal
Now. This is a short but actually interesting proposal that I and ECA Coral have been working on. That could give ECA’s like myself the power to be in a more Leadership proposal, as ECA’s don’t really have the most leadership possibilities as the lowest ranking of the Ethics Committee, but allowing ECA’s to be more of a “Lead” position in the Ethics Chain of Command. Allowing us to approve some documentation, teach new ECA’s things about the Committee, making sure that ECA’s get enough work to do and to watch over their activity, basically to make ECA’s less of a work for ECM’s, as they could focus on other things instead!
I do believe that this is something that is a great improvement for my Leadership. As Ethics Assistants we do not get too much power to be able do bigger decisions. And in giving Assistants the lead of each other. They get a slight more power.

I do wish to also state that i have been showing lots of leadership lately, may it be from organising MTF’s in CI raids like organising E-11 as to where to go and SOP how to focus to work with E-11 in raids. It goes from that to assisting departments in scenarios that they may not fully understand on what to do. I do wish to also present that i have done a lot like say in low pop to help MTF’s/Departments when there has been no CO’s online to do anything. Giving them small taskings and what such to do.
I believe that what I accomplished during my time as site admin and ECA proves that I do have the leadership skills that are necessary as a Clearance-5.


Cross-Departmenal Roleplay.

Cross Departmental Roleplay is also a skill that i believe is much necessary! I do believe in some cases. The Committee May need to weigh in on some departments Relations between each other. And i would like to say on how i've done this by a lot so far. Let me give an example.

The problems between Medical and Nu-7/ISD
As it may have been seen on the UK server. The Department of Medicine, The internal security department and Nu-7 have been clashing with each other. Now this is something i believe they could of had handled them self. But it seemed as not to be that case. My self after being requested went on to handle relations a bit for each department. This was to figure out what could we all be doing, and how we could be stopping some of the bans for ISD from Medical bay, this included. The Director Tim was at the moment banned from accessing any form of blood in medical. And was only allowed limited blood to sustain his living state. Now this might not sound a lot. But trust me this was a lot. Since there was clashes even about some other stuff too. As of now, the Lieutenant commander is in deep investigation. Now i will not be including absoloutely everything ive done as a Assistant. Because ive done a lot more in the early year as a ECA, but it can still be seen that i do have these skills.


I have to say, i have been helping departments more in relations wise Like Medical. Trying to help them to get back their relations with Nu-7 and ISD. But as again, i do wish to keep every section more of an single example, rather than me starting to write Essay's of all of my work here.
Roleplay Creation.



Role play, Role play role play... This, like other skills are a necessity as a Clearance-5 Member of the server. CL5 are someone that the regular players look up to create RP for the entire server to enjoy. Now. To keep this section short as well. I will be presenting some Scenarios of Roleplay from roles that i have held.

UNGOC



I unfortunately haven't had the best of chances of creating the biggest Scenarios of RP, As i've not been a Commisioned Officer. But this is a RP Scenario that i do think is a benefitful Scenario that led to lots of RP Possibilities.

Project Nuclear.
Project Nuclear was an Project. Intended for both Foundation E&TS and UNGOC Engineers to work upon. This mainly meant for UNGOC Engineers to be allowed in to site to be allowed to create Technical RP with Foundation E&TS. Could be from RP of Fixing technical problems like Eletrical boxes upto Reactors. This was a great but short lived RP Opportunity for UNGOC. Of which we did get to use for Reactor RP. Which did lead to multiple "Continued RP" Which unfortunately came to a halt after this Policy was nulled due to a UNGOC X Foundation war. I currently still as UNGOC am working to bring this operation back to life. So that we could have more RP to do as UNGOC.



Ethics Committee Assistant



A Introduction To D-Block - D-Class Housing Regulations.
This is a little of a smaller project that I've been working on with ECM Elijah Patel, And ECA Elias Graysphire. This went on as i first gathered interviews of 10 D-Class personnel regarding their living inside D-Block, Their rations, their sleep etc etc, and what they think should be added to D-Block as to try and make it a better living space for D-Class personnel. After i had gathered up all the interviews and their results. I worked on documenting a report regarding their answers. And what the majority thought of the current living state, and how it could be better. After gathering the full information regarding everything. I brought up the issues currently that D-Block are having to Site Administration, Giving them records of everything. And by the authorization of an Ethics Member. Had them and GSD start working even more as to what they currently were on D-Classes



Site Advisor



A New Tasking. (E&TS)
After the noticement of a lack of RP with in tech experts while i was Site Advisor. I had shortly scrambled ideas as to what i could do to improve this. A bit before i did this, Site Manager Charles Whitmee had gotten the E&TS Offices location changed for better accesibility. But to jump from that to what i had done. I had noticed a lack of action from any tech experts. There may had been like one tech expert. Who actually pushed for Role Play creation. But via the RP Orders that i had created for E&TS. I had single handedly pushed a new start of RP for them. Not even a week later after i had created my first order. I kept getting on Asking as to come and clear out the E&TS Document Cabinets. As they were full of documentations regarding the RP Orders i had created for them. Shortly after i did create another tasking for them. But unfortunately the documents werent stickied which led to Early Morning players going on to steal them. I couldn't bring back the second order as shortly after i had Resgined from my Roles.


Now. I would like to add to the Engineer RP from GOC and SA that i’ve made. This is not everything that i had done. But these are just 2 examples of How i’ve my self created RP to Revive some form of RP like on UNGOC. And Revived RP for a department. Which i personally think are something much needed. Even if it may just be some small departments.



Experience



By now, i have held multiple Clearance-4 roles. In which i've always proven to have a name in this server. All of these roles have been Non-Combatative. (Site Advisor, ECA 2x, UN Attache and Consultant.) In which all of them i've always proved that i am a capable member of Clearance-4 Status. I Believe by now. With the Roles that i've held that are more into Management and and Leadership roles. Like Site Advisor and Ethics Assistant. I can prove that i have had the right experience to become a member of Site Command. Now, again i do wish to keep my parts short. But to the point! Any questions about my experience feel free to ask in Comments or DM's.


What are the responsibilities of the Ethics Committee in RP?:
Be an advisory body for Site Staff and other parts of FCOM, Like the Overseer council.
Liaising with other FCOM members on any decisions that impact both sides, and making sure that Site Command and or Site staff are held accountable for their actions.
The removal of the current Overseer Council from their positions via primary action if there is no other choice seen.
Making sure that Departments like ISD Are doing their work right and following the Legal Codex
Maintenance of the Foundation Legal Codex.
Judgement of tribunals and handling Tribunal requests
Managing ECA's and their taskings around site.
Liaising with Omega-1 REGCOM To assist them in operations if necessary.
Usage of accessories in situations required. Like Site Wide Amnestication, Emergency Response Team calling And of course the Alpha Warhead.
Oversee sitewide behavior (through O1 as proxies or themselves in regard to senior personnel).
Uphold the 'Cold, but not cruel' aspect- In Which the Mission statement is respected, but we wouldn't be afraid to take more direct and messy keep up the Mission Statement.


What are the responsibilities of the Ethics Committee out of RP (e.g. what applications do they handle?):
Out of RP, Ethics deal with
Director Of ISD Applications.
Ethics Committee Assistant applications
Ethics Committee Member Applications.
Choosing the Commander of Omega-1, And in some cases Lieutenant Commander.


Please give some lore about your Ethics Committee character and what storylines they would be involved in:
Greetings, I am Cairo.aic, a ver2.0 Artificially Intelligent Conscript used by the Ethics Committee for archival and communication purposes.
How can I help you today?
> Access Committee Archive.
Please keep in mind that the network is restricted to Ethics Committee Members only. If you don't fit this criteria, unfortunately I will have no option but to deploy Mobile Task Force Omega-1 ("Law's Left Hand"). Would you like to continue?
> Aye.
Very well, Answer the following: What does the Sun do whilst bleeding?
> It bleeds red and leaves me rotting.
Hmm, seems alright, biometrics are fitting. Welcome back, James Kenraali! How can i help today?
> I require to access.. Multiple files today, Mostly my own Personnel Dossier and that.. Report regarding RAISA from my old days as an Assistant.

Understood! Displaying files now. Please view: RAISA Report 12/09 ECM Personnel Dossier

Currently, i still do not have much "Storylines" planned, RP i do have planned. Like updating things like the D-Class Housing Regulations. most that i do have is the long lasting character RP that i already currently have. As this will be a case of what i will be able to do as a Clearance-5 In the case i do get this accepted. Which i will get to work immedeatly on. Any questions please leave them in the Comments or DM me!

Would it be possible for you to provide more examples of roleplay creation as Ethics Assistant? Curious to see if you have led more projects or you are more into smaller scale roleplay events, which are both fine in my opinion.
The main bigger one's that i've done were mostly at the start of the Year. I can't remember them too much as i've lost all my ingame documents at one point when i accidently deleted some vcomputer documents without noticing it was them.
 
Hey James,
looking at your application you put some good effort into it, you seem to understand pretty well what an Ethics Committee Member is and there is no doubt that you are passionate about the work you do and getting the position.
Moving on, the lore could be expanded as it does sound a little bit more of a climbing positions narrative rather than an actual story.
My last point is regarding roleplay creation, from the interactions I've had with you, you proved to be a competent roleplayer but it would be nice to see more roleplay projects from yourself as ECA to gain experience and demonstrate your skills.
Of course, if you would like for me to expand on any point or prove me wrong on any of them I am always available to talk in DMs!
With that said, I will be leaving a

Someone who makes themselves available to anyone, no matter rank.
Had only positive interactions and would love to see them in a position where they can really influence the server.
The application is also fantastic, showing that they have made an effort, learned, and improved from the previous ones.

If you get the role James, that scarf better get twice as long.

Kenraali, I am genuinely disappointed in you with this app. You were on the verge of getting accepted for ECM last time with an app that was lacking in a few qualities, and valid criticisms about how quickly you were wanting to springboard from Assistant to ECM in order to achieve something on the server. Behind Ehrendil, you were my second favourite candidate to get into the Committee by a LONG shot.

Somehow, this app just doesn't sell you in the slightest. It's a near perfect copy of your previous app with about three new aspects in it, all of which you haven't actually SPECIFIED what you've done in order to prove you're a sufficient and ready member to go to CL5. The worst part is, the things you DID write about this time actually are interesting - but I've got genuinely zero basis to go off of in terms of what you did to be a roleplay leader in these scenarios. This is one of the core things you need to do in a CL5 position and I cannot just accept word of mouth of others to indicate that you've done these things successfully.

As for your lore; I'm sorry, but it's genuinely not good. Your RAISA report is ominous intentionally which shows you've gotten a grasp of thematic writing, but it almost reads like you're trying to tell us that the Committee is going to take hostile action to the Council because I led A-1 to ECO and laughed at Pyrite for getting caught lying about their secret AIC project AFTER they were given a free out if they had just told -3 the truth back then. I'm sorry, but if hostilities somehow escalated over something as small as that, I'd be writing a player complaint on whoever was behind the idea.

The actual Personnel Folder is a nothingburger because it's a retelling of everything you've already done on-site. You have completely failed the basic rule of show don't tell. Most of the things listed here are things that are already listed in your app. That isn't what your ECM character has potential to be involved in AFTER you get accepted, it's just fact retelling. You need to focus on what any of these things COULD do for you, not what they already have.

You are better than this. I do not think you will be getting ECM this time around.
 
Ethics Assistant CoC Rework proposal
Now. This is a short but actually interesting proposal that I and ECA Coral have been working on. That could give ECA’s like myself the power to be in a more Leadership proposal, as ECA’s don’t really have the most leadership possibilities as the lowest ranking of the Ethics Committee, but allowing ECA’s to be more of a “Lead” position in the Ethics Chain of Command. Allowing us to approve some documentation, teach new ECA’s things about the Committee, making sure that ECA’s get enough work to do and to watch over their activity, basically to make ECA’s less of a work for ECM’s, as they could focus on other things instead!
Small rant cause I feel like commenting on this section of your app.

The only powers that ECA's didn't have while I was ECM were powers only available Committee Members. I don't know if anything changed in the short time since I left but, I don't know why you are striving for ECA's to have equal enough power to an ECM.

The whole reason that I never agreed to reintroduce Personal Assistants and/or Senior Assistants (which is pretty much what's going on here from my understanding) is that all ECA's are trusted with the same duties, powers and authority. If an ECM decided to personally assign a task to one then so be it, but no ECA should be treated better than the rest. Unlike the O5 Council, which would need to lean more heavily on Assistants and would have to put more trust in some rather than others, its not something the Committee would do.

ECA's (while I was Member) were free to do as they wished, so long as it stayed within the FLC and as long as nothing needed ECM approval. The only way you would have more authority is through peoples respect of you as a figurehead IC.

ECA's, as
Assistants, do not need to be in a "Lead" Position within the Committee. That, in my opinion, would defeat the whole point of them being Assistants to the Ethics Committee.

Personal gripe over with. Other than that I don't have any feeling for the rest,
good luck.

The part here is that the reason i introdouced this was; A. The Event ECM's that come in may not immedeatly have the biggest idea of what to do as they kind of directly just jump into the pit. B. With it mainly being Dingle only as on Event ECM. It does really leave Ethics Assistants to be there alone without much back up from the Committee even if we may have Ethics Members. This is more of a "Temporary" system to put those who; Have been ECA for a longer time and have had time to do more as an Ethics Committee Assistant. As the "Lead Assistant" "Senior Assistant" What ever you wish to call it. To put them in that position to help the Assistants- Rather than it being a Group of GM/SSL members who aren't Actual Ethics Members.
 
You can lead and advise without a CoC change, all people have to do is ask. Introducing different levels of Assistant's, in my view and especially with the Committee, isn't a necessary step.

On the topic of the Temp's, yes they are jumping into it and yeah they'll either have their own stuff planned or will go get a lay of the land first.
My last message and piece of advice I gave O-1 and the Assistant is "
Act in a way befitting the Committee." Or something along those lines. If there are no ECM's or the ECM's are new and getting the feel for it, then perform as if a Committee Member has approved (Obviously within the reasonability that the situation would have a ECM's approval). And, most importantly as a collective, help the ECM's as their Assistants.

A bit late to the party but I gotta say:

Kenraali is definitely dedicated to the role, he plays a good bit of ECA and when on it does great work. Is both lighthearted and can 'lock in' as the moment demands. Both helpful and realistic.

He of coruse also has experience in SA which contributes to his growing repertoire of skill, namely in RP.

I've no doubts about his potential and that he could bring good RP and breathe new life to a completely dead and barren Ethics.

I wish you luck and may you succeed in your noble undertaking!
