Mr Melbert - The scary MRP candidate your mom told you about
Posted: Thu Aug 19, 2021 10:57 pm
Hello! I'm Melbert.
- I play mainly on Manuel. You may know my as Joey Petunia, Smells-The-Roses, or a number of other flower based static names. I'm a shameless botany main.
- I also very actively admin on Manuel. I'd like to think i'm one of the more active manuel admins currently but I have no statistics to back it up so no point in bragging about it.
- You may also recognize me from the various videos I make on youtube, but I assure you that's not me, but my twin.
- I also code things sometimes. Mostly for botany.
I'm running for headmin as a primarily MRP candidate, as that's my area of expertise, but I intend on playing Sybil more often to get a better feel of the server's local community and culture. (Sorry Terry. I'm not European.)
What will be done for LRP?
> Since I don't normally play on our LRP servers, I definitely don't claim i'm as qualified to make policy affecting them compared to other admins that specialize in that area. As such I'd defer to other headmins and admins when it comes to that area of policy discussion if I were to be elected, as the past term of headmins mostly deferred to MRP specialized admins to develop MRP policy. This will be done though policy bus, of course, as it has proven very successful during the past terms.
What will be done for MRP?
> The past term of headmins have been very responsive in listening to MRP admins for policy and that's been great for developing our roleplay policy going forward. I'd love to continue the current streak of creating a robust set of MRP rules for our servers to follow that's easy to follow and enforce.
> Other candidates have mentioned they wish to give the admin team a bit more leeway on our MRP servers to deal with disruptive players. I think this is a great idea, and I'd also like to move towards that if I were to be elected.
What will be done for all servers?
> As mentioned previously in the LRP section, I'd love the continuation of #policy-bus, so more admins and players themselves have a voice in the future of rules and policy of our server.
> One thing I wanted to do in my prior headmin campaign was to reduce the 'tribalism' between our MRP and LRP community and improve our /tg/station unity as a whole. I've seen all sorts of people get fiercely defensive over their favorite server while berating people who enjoy other server types and I think it's quite lame - friendly banter is one thing, but plain insults is another. I want to move towards a more unified community by encouraging more cross-server events, such as the recent talent show hosted on Basil, and by encouraging admins use #admin-auditorium for announcing when they're hosting interesting events on servers, so people curious can check it out.
Ultimately, my desire is to have one MRP candidate on the headmin trio to allow for quicker and easier policy discussion for roleplay policy, while also not neglecting our primary three servers.
Thank you for considering my thread. Have a morning, evening, or night.
