Why are you applying for Site Advisor?
I somewhat recently returned to the server and got back into my Executive Research position. I then began putting in great effort to amend the shortcomings that I perceived within the department. I relaunched the project management sub division, I cleaned up the fluff from our policies, I pushed for us to streamline the ease of research for all new researchers. With great help from the other amazing RSD leadership we launched Research 2.0! I wanted to push a new attitude of trying to give the best experience for people playing research and to make the whole team more approachable.Now that I feel RSD is in a really healthy place I want to take a step forward and try to push that attitude to the rest of the site, this is where I believe the Site Advisor position would be a natural evolution. I want the opportunity to help refine site policy, encourage collaboration between all departments on site, and launch projects and initiatives. I want to prioritize the player experience just like how I did with research.
The most important thing for the site is fueling and maintaining cohesion. I worked on this as a smaller scale in my role as Executive, to which I have found success. Through solid problem solving, policies and documentation, I feel I can bring a positive influence to Site Administration. As said in my last application, the best thing that I love about the role is that it balances leadership with diplomacy and creativity with structure.
With my focus on being someone that is approachable, helpful and focused on clear communication and continuously trying to improve what I feel is lacking, I believe I bring a unique perspective and background suitable for the role.
What makes you suitable for Site Administration?
With my portfolio of what I have achieved with the roles I have been in, I believe I have proven capable of the Site Advisor role. I have continued to improve whatever I could within my department. The priority will always be to fuel RP and player enjoyment, and acting on anything that could sniffle people enjoyment and experience within the site.
Executive Researcher Performance. Since joining the Research Department as an Executive, I’ve consistently been recognised for my performance and reliability, earning Executive of the Week multiple times in a row. I take pride in going above and beyond to help junior researchers, guiding them through documentation standards and assisting with cross-department collaboration when needed. I made personalised presentations based on the standards I would like to see within the department. In addition, I established a Project Management sub-regiment designed to coordinate personnel from multiple departments on larger site projects. This initiative reflects the kind of structured, interdepartmental collaboration that Site Administration encourages, and it’s something I’m proud to be developing as a foundation for future site-wide cooperation.
My second round as Executive I focused on improving my shortfalls. I recognised that I was never sure of myself and of my ideas and let them just fall apart. Now if I feel confident that there is something that can be done to improve the department I put forward my point and rely on the team to recognise the benefits. My new approach to being in a leadership position has resulted in what I believe is one of the best roster of promising researchers who are passionate about playing the role. Through pushing my priorities in allowing people to experience everything the server has to offer I have seen a huge morale shift and I couldn't be happier that there has been an obvious effect on my approach.
Broad department exposure. I’ve spent time working with Research, Medical and E-11 projects, so I’m used to seeing the site from more than one angle. That makes it easier to give feedback that isn’t biased toward a single department. Site Advisors need to be able to look at a department and say, “this is working, this isn’t, here’s how we could fix it” without stepping on their toes. That’s something I’ve already been doing informally, such as my collaborative work with the consultants in the Medical Department to overhaul their documentation practices.
Continued interdepartmental efforts. I have recently been working with ISD to improve relations and get along well with their leadership. Through these efforts I have ensured that we are now able to deal with troublesome researchers through internal ways that tend to have a lasting effect rather then continued jail times. One of my proudest examples with this collaboration is when dealing with a researcher called 'M@#&y'. This reseacher had one of the biggest arrest records I had ever seen, never did research and was an awful influence on others. I sat down with him and told him that any more arrests and they would no longer be welcome in RSD, but if they were to do actual research and show themselves doing good work then they will get the benefits, such as access to CL4 SCPs. I asked ISD to keep an eye and inform me of the researchers progress and now this researcher hasnt been arrested since and is planning some really cool tests. That couldn't have happened if ISD weren't willing to work with me on improving this situation.
Strong documentation and standards mindset. A lot of my contributions on the server have been document-based, experiments, project write ups, internal posters, and guides. With my time within research, I always had the personal policy of making my next project better than the last, leading to a very strong portfolio of documents and projects. Site Administration often ends up being the place people go to ask “what is the actual policy?” or “can we make this clearer?” I’m good at turning messy information into something readable and consistent, and I’m happy to do that kind of maintenance work that most people don’t want to do.
Making policy, presentable. As soon as I came back as a Senior Researcher I wanted to prove my ability as a problem solver, even as a CL3. I saw one big problem at the time, which was that the only ingame resource for research policy was a huge and hard to read wall of text on the wall in RSD wing. I then made an easy to digest and presentable document that I called the 'Research Methodology Handbook'. I gave it to many researchers of all ranks and had fantastic feedback, and some critisisms to which I then continued to change and improve from. Simple changes like that can make a department seem so much more welcoming and easy to understand. Then when I became Exec again I finally fixed all boards within RSD wing to make them all presentable and welcoming to newcomers.
Professional, not confrontational. One of the big parts of Site Administration is dealing with departments that don’t always agree with each other. I’m comfortable having those conversations without making it personal. Often, you need to play the part of an impartial mediator, which I have already had plenty of experience in during my time on the site. And, if something needs to be changed, I can explain why and ensure to loop in the department leads rather than rewriting their work over their head.
Reliability and follow-through. A lot of site projects die because nobody finishes them, or they are never followed through in a timely manner. I’m used to taking an idea (policy changes, project briefs, research initiatives) and actually writing it up, formatting it, and getting it to the people who need it. Site Administration would be a fantastic place for me to apply my processes regarding efficient and timely processing and use the experience I have gained from running my project management sub-division.
Because of all that, I think I’d fit well into Site Administration as someone who can: monitor departments fairly, give constructive feedback, help standardise documentation, and support command without trying to run their departments for them.
What are the responsibilities of Site Administration in RP?
Site Administration serves as central management for all site operations. Their role is to keep the facility organised, professional, and functioning smoothly on a daily basis. This includes supervising departments, maintaining stability, and making sure proper procedures are consistently followed. They also play a key part in department coordination, ensuring communication and cooperation remain steady across all branches of the site.Leadership & Department Oversight
- Conducting monthly departmental reviews and audits to assess performance and engagement.
- Monitoring command teams to ensure consistency, professionalism, and transparency.
- Offering feedback and support to departmental leadership to strengthen structure and cohesion.
- Acting as the first point of contact for command staff when a higher authority is required or the chain of command is disrupted.
Policy & Site Management
One of the biggest responsibilities of Site Administration is maintaining the site’s policies and operational standards. Working directly with Site Command, Site Administrators ensure that all rules and procedures are up to date and relevant.- Reviewing existing policies and suggesting revisions when possible issues arise.
- Drafting and implementing new policies in collaboration with Site Command to address any gaps.
- Authorising key documents, such as inter-department testing proposals.
- Maintaining the overall flow of administrative documentation to ensure it remains accurate and accessible.
Operational & Emergency Response Duties
Site Administration also acts as the on-site management authority during emergencies or large events. They ensure resources, personnel, and priorities are correctly distributed to protect the site’s interests.- Authorising Advanced Armoury usage when appropriate.
- Coordinating emergency responses during breaches, Code 1s, and Code Blacks.
- Overseeing the temporary closure of areas for cross-training, maintenance, or site drills.
- Working closely with MTF and department leadership to ensure smooth coordination, and containment efficiency.
Judiciary & Accountability
Site Administration plays a key role in maintaining internal discipline and fairness within the Foundation. They assist in handling minor offences and disputes through formal tribunal processes, ensuring that all actions are conducted impartially.- When authorised, Site Administration may also act as neutral representatives of the Ethics Committee.
- Ensuring investigations and outcomes are documented clearly and handled professionally.
Site Cohesion & Situational Awareness
Site Administration is expected tohave knowledge of most if not all operations ongoing. They must understand how every department functions, ensuring cross-department collaboration and mutual respect.- Staying informed on leadership changes, departmental updates, and current policy enforcement.
- Maintaining diplomacy between regiments and departments.
- Encouraging professionalism, and clear communication no matter the clearance level.
- Supporting ongoing initiatives that enhance the quality of RP, collaboration and documentation.
