[Deleted] TWAT 2020

[TWATICUS]

Hi. I play Hanna Tireman on Basil, Terry, and Event Hall
Been playing since 2016/2017 and an admin since mid 2019.
My interest in running is entirely for the players because I love this community and I think I can lead it in the right direction.


Actual Playing Headmin:
The "joke" that headmins don't play has run its course. I've constantly been near the top of most admin connections since I've became
one and I have no doubts I'll be on top for candidate connections once that's available. I play regularly on multiple servers and have
a flexible enough schedule to play during drastically different times of the day.
The reason this is important to mention is because I feel that I am in tune with the game and the players as a whole, and the amount I play shows this.


Banbots:
My biggest issue by far is the heavy handed approach to notes/bans. Admins should be there to make sure things run smoothly and quell
blatant grief, not hunt down and note for every minor rulebreak. We should focus on the spirit of the rules instead of following them
to a T. I feel that it would be best for admins to take a few steps back before noting/banning and really consider if its necessary.
I also encourage notes to be timed instead of permanent.


Community Events:
The seasonal events are always fun for getting all the players from other servers together and taking a break from the normal
game for a few hours. I would love to see even more events, and a return of the Battle Royale.
I would also like to expand the mapper channel/mapper role and open it up to more of the community to see who would be interested in helping and
contributing in future events.


2 2 2:
My ideal server setup,

• US/EU Dynamic (Basil/Terry)

• Dynamic breathes new life into the game and I will support it 100% as the default gamemode.

• US/EU MRP (Sybil/Manuel)

• A decent size of the playerbase has shown they want this type of gameplay and its only fair that US/EU gets their respective MRP servers.

• US/EU Pubby (EventHall/Sybil2)

• New players are essential for keeping the game alive and prevents the game from becoming stagnant. They should also have US/EU servers available.

I would like event hall/sybil2 to be given real names, and if event hall is too set in stone then at the very least renaming sybil2.
Also very open to the idea of temporarily putting other servers on the hub when their pop shows consistent low numbers.

Candidate Debate Questions:

Spoiler:

What are your personal feelings towards dynamic?
I love dynamic.

Can you imagine it being ran on the "rp" server(s)?
I think so but I'd like to poll the MRP server(s) to get their opinion on it first.

Could it replace secret by any chance, being a lot more engaging and adjustable?
Absolutely. Dynamic is the future of spessmen.

Would you bring back ban requests? why or why not?
Negative. As entertaining as it could be its just drama bait and encourages retroactive bans which im not a fan of.

Burnout, How do you plan for this to not happen to you?
ill keep doing what im doing because its worked out fine so far. not going to stress about a burnout that may or may not happen and i have no doubts ill be able to finish my term.

Naming Policy, Too strict? Not strict enough? Too vague? Overly specific?
Too strict

Are real-life people/cultural references OK?
Depends. We dont need Adolf Hitler running around but i dont mind Kanye West

Do shitty names make you valid?
No

What if someone's been using the same name for years?
They should be allowed

Is Manuel different?
Yes. Manuel should have real names without referencing real people.

Where do all of the candidates stand on the topic of restricting language?
Ive always been on the side of not telling people what they can and cant say IC, OOC, discord or otherwise. I think harassment is an entirely different issue but needs to be talked about regarding this subject. Saying slurs in a public chat where someone who could be offended by it can see it doesn't make it harassment, but constantly going out of your way to antagonize someone because you know they're offended by it does.

What do you feel that past administrations have generally done wrong, and how do you feel you can overcome it?
I dont have any specific instances but rather a general notion about the role that i think everyone has gotten wrong. I feel headmins always end up focusing solely on the newest hot topic when they should instead be looking at the bigger picture and what they want their end goal to be. Of course something that everyone is riled up about needs to get addressed, but i think the plans that headmins originally have get overshadowed and end up fading out over time to never get fully implemented. My plan is to try and stay focused on my changes to make a good and lasting impact on the server.

In brief, why are you a good choice?
I think I'll be the correct choice because at the end of the day, I will always be a player before anything else and my goal is to keep the game as enjoyable as possible for us.

What are your defining features?
I think I'm a generally chill person and easy to talk to but I'm also not afraid to be blunt and say what needs to be said in order to get things done, regardless of how it might upset some people.

What makes you different/special?
I have a pretty thick skin so I'll be able to take the shit that gets thrown at me. I also have no problems admitting when I'm wrong about something which i don't see often enough.

Do you feel that admins are afraid?(Regarding giving bans that will end in frustrating appeals)
Uh no not at all. If you're making valid and necessary bans then you shouldn't be afraid to defend it. If anything its your subconscious telling you its a shit ban and people will know its a shit ban.

Meme viruses.
Absolutely in favor of bringing back meme cosmetic viruses, they shouldn't have been made bannable in the first place. Let the players handle it IC.

[Armhulen]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[TheMythicGhost]

Definitely have my support for sure, but a few questions regarding your platform.

-Why the planned conversion of Sybil into MRP2, wasn't Sybil2 supposed to fill this role?

-What are some examples of being too heavy handed in terms of administrative conduct, and how do you plan on addressing this concern if it deals with people you may have vested interests in?

I don't really have any more questions on your platform as this was what was presented.

[Naloac]

Having Head jannies who actually play actively would be truly blessed. Do you think being a headmin will ruin the fun for you?

The reason this is important to mention is because I feel that I am in tune with the game and the players as a whole, and the amount I play shows this.

To be clear, the joke is a joke because it has it's seed in truth. Even candidates with "near the top connection numbers" at the very least end up taking a steep cut into their playtime. This isn't to say "you won't play at all anymore if you win" but I would urge you to hold a certain amount of self-awareness in that you are not unique - your activity levels are admirable and definitely bode well but don't think you will transition from Game Admin to Headmin without taking a severe dip in activity levels, sooner or later.

ty

it's played out as a joke because it's true, the amount of shit you have to do as a headmin increases and the odds of anyone going full NEET to both play/admin AND be a head admin at the same time strikes me as unlikely

[Plapatin]

manuel is hosted on the sybil box. if you wanted an eu roleplaying server as outlined in your 2/2/2 plan, would you turn terry or event hall into the roleplaying server?
also bear in mind that although it may still be in your platform (and others), at time of writing the current headmin team still has full intentions to get the EU roleplaying server set up.

[TribeOfBeavers]

You mention more community events, how do you intend to encourage more of these?

Up until now Citrus has put a lot of work into setting most of them up and managing them and running them, are you planning on taking over that role?

Do you have any ideas for them beyond the battle royale?


Re: banbots
How do you intend to make the spirit of the rules more clear to new players? A new player can't read the rules and know that one isn't enforced as written
How do you intend to enforce this idea among the admin team? There are differing opinions on the spirit of the rules and what's a noteable/bannable offence. What will you do if an admin has a differing idea to what a rule means than you and enforces it as such while still being within the wording of the rule?

[skoglol]

manuel is hosted on the sybil box. if you wanted an eu roleplaying server as outlined in your 2/2/2 plan, would you turn terry or event hall into the roleplaying server?

Wouldnt be 3 eu and 3 us if the eu box still had only 2 servers.

[Plapatin]

we have 4 us and 2 eu iirc

[oranges]

2 physical servers
3 virtual machines (2 us, 1eu)
6 servers, two to a machine

Eu hall, terry

sybil, manuel

basil, sybil2 (aka us hall)

Are you still good friends with a bunch of doxxers? And if so, how would you justify holding a position with additional access to people's personal information while associating yourself with them? Isn't that like a cop hanging out with drug dealers? Thanks in advance

[deedubya]

Honestly, if I wasn't running, you'd have my vote. I can't really find anything to disagree with in your platform or your activity.

My top choice. Rooting for you, Hwanna!

[skoglol]

Yes, but thats not what the OP is basing it on. It says 3/3, and you are making it an argument about 4/2 without adding any background on why you are doing so.

[Plapatin]

i believe there's been a miscommunication somehwere. i was responding with the assumption that no servers would be changed (outside of how they're enforced).

[TWATICUS]

manuel is hosted on the sybil box. if you wanted an eu roleplaying server as outlined in your 2/2/2 plan, would you turn terry or event hall into the roleplaying server?
also bear in mind that although it may still be in your platform (and others), at time of writing the current headmin team still has full intentions to get the EU roleplaying server set up.

Ideally i would like to change sybil to the US MRP server and make a new server on the EU box renamed to manuel(removing the current manuel server). But i can honestly say im not sure how realistic this idea is since im not sure how complicated/willing MSO is to change the servers around like so. Either way, if the EU MRP servers are handled this term then i can change my ideas to work around whatever the outcome is.

the planned conversion of Sybil into MRP2, wasn't Sybil2 supposed to fill this role?

same as above. i'll have to see what the final server setup is before next term starts and change my plans to work with it.

What are some examples of being too heavy handed in terms of administrative conduct

The situation that immediately comes to mind is one where a clown car had taken almost the entire station hostage. A non antag said they had a bomb they could use. Everyone in the car cheered him on. He blows the bomb. Everyone died and deadchat was filled with people laughing about it. I cant recall a single complaint about dying and we were told after that nobody had ahelped about it either. They were given a ban anyway because, "rules are rules". This need to ban goes against the spirit of the game in my opinion.

how do you plan on addressing this concern if it deals with people you may have vested interests in?

If there comes a situation where i cant be unbias regarding a persons involvement, i fully intend on showing the other mins my take on the situation and letting them handle the rest.

snip

Not denying its a very real thing that happens, I'm just hoping i can overcome it. At best i balance playing and headmining. At worst i burn out of playing and up as every other headmin.

Do you think being a headmin will ruin the fun for you?

I sincerely hope not.

You mention more community events, how do you intend to encourage more of these?

I'd like to discuss with mapper-bus and see if they have any ideas for events theyve want to try and open it up to more people to join. Theres plenty of talented people who do/have done ingame events in the past. I can only assume theres more people that would like to try who havent gotten the chance to yet.

Up until now Citrus has put a lot of work into setting most of them up and managing them and running them, are you planning on taking over that role?

Citrus has done an amazing job at running all these events, i dont plan i taking it over at all.

Do you have any ideas for them beyond the battle royale?

For one i would love to have the talent show from the winter ball as its own event. i know marathon hasnt usually been an official event but i'd like to see how that would work as one.

How do you intend to make the spirit of the rules more clear to new players? A new player can't read the rules and know that one isn't enforced as written

The rules will still be the rules, its more about how admins approach the situation.

How do you intend to enforce this idea among the admin team? There are differing opinions on the spirit of the rules and what's a noteable/bannable offence.

I'd like to encourage it when questions come up in bus on how to handle certain situations and to have it be something talked about during candidacy training. To use the story i mentioned earlier in this post, where a non antag blew up the clown car after being encouraged by everyone trapped inside to do it, yet they were still banned for it. Bans should be benefiting the server as a whole. If what someone did was technically against the rules but it ended it a more enjoyable experience, then i dont feel a punishment in needed.

What will you do if an admin has a differing idea to what a rule means than you and enforces it as such while still being within the wording of the rule?

All depends on the situation but i would try to explain if/why i think following the spirit rather than the direct rules would be better for all parties in the situation and hopefully come to a consensus. I feel it would be most effective in future admin trainings.

[TWATICUS]

Are you still good friends with a bunch of doxxers?

I can only assume this is some nervere/shezza bait. If by 'good friends' you mean occasionally play a game with them along with half the other people in this thread then sure.

[Lazengann]

can you quit wasting my time by acting like you don't know what i'm talking about

i'm talking about the man with the photoshopped forearms and the security fetish, you're in that crowd

[Nervere]

>noooo you can't be in a mutual discord server with jmad, that means you're a doxer!!
What's your major malfunction, Laz?
Not only were you in that same server (proof):


...you also semi-frequently play L4D2 with him and the rest of us.
In fact, you were in that server up until a few days ago when the headmins pressured you to leave.
Is this some sort of virtue signalling?

[Lazengann]

i dont think i've ever played a game with jmad, I think my only interactions with him were asking for pictures of his body and getting sent a picture of a forearm that I suspect was doctored

it's the closeness of the relationship that would be inappropriate, and if you're going to claim I have the same level of friendship as Twat does you are sorely mistaken, Twat has a good personality and many friends, while anyone accusing me of having friends is clearly doing it in bad faith

[Nervere]

I distinctly recall you saying in adminbus that you didn't think he was so bad anymore after you played a game or two with him. It was either L4D2 or RoR2. Pretty sure it was L4D2 though.

[Lazengann]

nah that was shezza

Does this mean you dox people, Laz, because the person you had a conversation with was blacklisted for something stupid 3 years ago? No, it doesn't.
Similarly, there is nothing negative to be said of Twaticus because she, like you, shared a Discord server with him at one point.
There's a reason no fair system in the world operates on guilt by association.

[Xlyana]

I'm basically an outsider so take this with a grain of salt but along with their activity in-game, they seem to be interacting with everyone through Discord VC and text whenever I give it a look. Twat is probably one of the candidates least likely to be out of touch with the community.


EDIT: Removed question as it was already answered

[Lazengann]

Yeah Twat's cool I like them

[peoplearestrange]

The "joke" of headmins not playing isn't really a joke. As its been previously mentioned headmining takes a lot of time. If you got head which chunk of time would likely take the hit in order to forfil your head roles ?(saying I can mange all equally isn't a realistic approach).

Your stance on "banbots" seems to be conflicted. We have rules written down and these rules are to be followed. Most of the basic rules and definatly the MRP rules are there in place to allow the game to work as well as it does. If people cannot follow these quite basic rules, why shouldn't the receive a note/ban?

Can you give examples of things you believe shouldn't be banned or noted for?

Do you not think adjustment of the rules rather than adjustment of punishment when rules are broken is a stronger more useful approach?

[bobbahbrown]

I have known Twaticus to be a down-to-earth player and administrator for as long as I have known them. Without a doubt I believe it is fair to say they don't lose sight of the goal of the administration: to help everyone have a great time. If you want an enjoyable term then I would say that Twaticus should be a solid first place for you, fair voter.

Wowwwww, you meow like a cat! That means you are one, right? Shut the fuck up. If you really want to be put on a leash and treated like a domestic animal then that’s called a fetish, not “quirky” or “cute”. What part of you seriously thinks that any part of acting like a feline establishes a reputation of appreciation? Is it your lack of any defining aspect of personality that urges you to resort to shitty representations of cats to create an illusion of meaning in your worthless life? Wearing “cat ears” in the shape of headbands further notes the complete absence of human attribution to your false sense of personality, such as intelligence or charisma in any form or shape. Where do you think this mindset’s gonna lead you? You think you’re funny, random, quirky even? What makes you think that acting like a fucking cat will make a goddamn hyena laugh? I, personally, feel extremely sympathetic towards you as your only escape from the worthless thing you call your existence is to pretend to be an animal. But it’s not a worthy choice to assert this horrifying fact as a dominant trait, mainly because personality traits require an initial personality to lay their foundation on. You’re not worthy of anybody’s time, so go fuck off, “cat-girl”.

[TWATICUS]

If you got head which chunk of time would likely take the hit in order to forfil your head roles ?(saying I can mange all equally isn't a realistic approach).

I dont think saying i can manage them equally is unrealistic at all. I play the game A LOT though so if anything ill have to cut back on that when things get too busy but i cant see myself stopping playing the game for long periods of time because of it.

If people cannot follow these quite basic rules, why shouldn't the receive a note/ban?

I think that just because someone checks the bannable boxes doesnt mean they NEED to be banned. Im not saying dont ban/note people, but to leave it for real damaging offenses instead.

Can you give examples of things you believe shouldn't be banned or noted for?

Ill keep using this example because it fits it perfectly, a nonantag who blows up a clown car with everyones approval and kills almost the entire server. Things that leave an overall fun experience even if they technically break rules. Also i dont think people who make genuine tiny mistakes should be noted. Someone accidentally presses 'O' and ick ocks? Does that really need to be noted? No, leave it for people aggressively ick ocking because theyre mad and are hard-headed about it in ahelps.

Do you not think adjustment of the rules rather than adjustment of punishment when rules are broken is a stronger more useful approach?

No I dont because i dont have a problem with the rules. I wouldnt mind changing some if i felt it was necessary but thats not what im focused on, My goal is for admins to approach issues from a different perspective. Im not sure how/when this happened but its almost ingrained in the team to encourage and applaud hunting down rulebreakers and in my opinion, its extremely damaging and a terrible way to go about admining. We've lost focus on what it means to be an admin and i want to change that.

[peoplearestrange]

I think thats people often make this mistake when starting a new hobby, they don't cut down on anything else and ultimately end up either never putting in enough time or doing it half-arsed. But if you say you can cut down other games I can dig that.

I think that just because someone checks the bannable boxes doesnt mean they NEED to be banned. Im not saying dont ban/note people, but to leave it for real damaging offenses instead.

Here I agree in part, though I feel notes are important for showing patterns of terrible behaviour. Would it not be better to try to change how notes are used in potential bans rather than a lack of notes?

Someone accidentally presses 'O' and ick ocks? Does that really need to be noted? No, leave it for people aggressively ick ocking because theyre mad and are hard-headed about it in ahelps.

I agree the first example shouldn't be noted/banned for at all, particularly if it falls under the "that made me/the server laugh", I'd get behind this if you were head! The second example even if its mistake its fairly easy to write that in a note, but having a note helps recognise when a "mistake" starts happening so regularly that its become an excuse. Without notes do you not think we loose insight and ultimate some admin communication?

No I dont because i dont have a problem with the rules. I wouldnt mind changing some if i felt it was necessary but thats not what im focused on, My goal is for admins to approach issues from a different perspective.

Thats fair! I think this is a strong platform to be on. Good luck in your campaign trail.

I wasn't going to say anything, but it bothers me that you keep highlighting this incident as an example of admin overreach. You're not accurately representing the circumstances surrounding the use of the bomb in question and you're leaving out very important context regarding that player's previous conduct in regards to the use of bombs.

Whether or not current admins are using the ban button too often is a matter for legitimate debate, but I genuinely don't feel that this is a good example upon which to build that argument.

[Hulkamania]

From my observation you're really big into buying into general "meme" personalities for the joke. "Free x" and "Unban Y" and such. There's nothing wrong with making jokes, but whenever you're in the headmin position people interpret them a lot differently.

Some people may intentionally take you out of context, administrators and players alike can take these comments as final rulings, even if you did not intend for them to be so.

Do you plan to change how you represent yourself in the event that you were elected?

[TWATICUS]

You're not accurately representing the circumstances surrounding the use of the bomb in question and you're leaving out very important context regarding that player's previous conduct in regards to the use of bombs.

How is it not accurate, I watched it happen. I didn't know about his history and i don't care either because its a totally different situation. When 40 people are stuck in a clown car and rooting for them to blow it up and thanking them afterwards, their questionable bombing history shouldn't be a factor. This is why i say just because someone checks all the bannable boxes doesn't mean they need to be banned.

Just because you and your friends found it funny doesn't mean the banning admin made a bad call.

Precisely one person in that clown car told them to use a bomb. (Other people in the car were saying "DO IT" prior to this, telling the clown to drive out an airlock.)

How did the person offering encouragement know that the bomber had a bomb on them in the first place, when the bomber had made no mention of it?

Because this incident was their ninth note or ban about the misuse of bombs and their reputation proceeded them.

They got a 24 hour ban for killing 37 people in their ninth incident of "oh whoops I can't believe that bomb killed everyone."

It ain't exactly a poster child for admin overreach. The fact that you keep harping on it while not knowing the basic facts of the incident - despite observing it - gives me pause.

[oranges]

this isn't the place to re litigate bans, they've given their opinion, you've had a more than generous chance to post yours. But ultimately, it's not about if their opinion is right or wrong, just what their opinions are, so I'd appreciate if you didn't continue on this topic.

Yeah I understand theres going to be a lot more eyes on me and I'll have to be more careful with what I say. IIRC i remember reading a headmin voicing their complains in a hut thread about how they cant make joke posts in the hut without people automatically taking it seriously and how it causes problems. Which as unfortunate as it is, its the truth. I'll definitely need to stray away from jumping on the "free x" jokes since I'd have to oversee the appeal outcome and joking about them would probably leave a bad taste in peoples mouths. At the very least, make it extremely obvious when I'm just shitposting.

[capn_monkeypaw]

Point taken. I apologize.

[imsxz]

What are your opinions on the monkey gamemode? Would you consider adding it back? If not, what changes would you like to see before agreeing that it should be in rotation(if ever)?

What are your views on "revolving door" admins? referencing admins that deadmin/readmin several times.

What are your views on people without admin experience running for headmin?

[TWATICUS]

What are your opinions on the monkey gamemode? Would you consider adding it back? If not, what changes would you like to see before agreeing that it should be in rotation(if ever)?

I love monkey mode and running it as an occasional meme to get a really hectic and fun round in. and gives me a valid reason to play donkey kong midis. That being said, it needs a serious overhaul before I'd consider adding it back into rotation. I think it would work best as a mid round ghostrole spawn instead of a standalone gamemode and would need some obvious fixes like having a cure that actually works and tweaking it to work alongside dynamic.

What are your views on "revolving door" admins? referencing admins that deadmin/readmin several times.

I guess it would depend on why they were constantly leaving/returning. If they have some real life events going on or need to be gone sporadically thats fine. Plenty of good admins have asked to step down because they've gotten too busy irl and dont feel like they can give their all while admining and they shouldnt be punished or told 'no' to a return because of that. I'd take a caring admin who comes and goes due to irl issues over an afk admin who doesnt know when to throw in the towel. That being said, if the issues stem from drama, community conflicts, and generally not being able to handle the position emotionally, theres a point where its time to stop because youre not only hurting yourself but everyone around you aswell.

What are your views on people without admin experience running for headmin?

I like that its even an option. I have no doubts theres players that could make good policies, they'd just be a bit slow on the administrative side of things. It's just most players that run end up being meme candidates which make most people not take the possibility of a player headmin seriously.

I really really like fried calamari if that counts

would you support the removal of admins from /tg/?

I'm not really sure what this question is asking but if something happened where it would be best for an admin to be removed then yes?

what do you think about all these replies to ur thread?

I didn't expect it at all! I'm really glad to have all this support and that people take me seriously enough to ask me about their concerns
