They Rock

Found them really enjoyable to have around, deals with ahelps maturely and politely, great.

It's been two weeks since they became a trial admin and they have been absorbing the tools and training like a sponge. They have already proved themselves in their extensive knowledge of the game and the rules as well before even coming aboard which I am really impressed by.

Keep it up!

Good admin

Went out of his way to help Timberpoes look into an issue I had with a particularly terrible sec player on Manuel.

Pumpkin is a good egg! Credit to the admin team, truly.

Pumpkin is a great Manuelmin. They make fun events that don't feel too overbearing, and they are always eager to follow up on the station's actions.

Fun fact : This admin is also a great AI on Manuel.

Space Adventure.

Does a good job setting a great narrative for their gameplay, entertaining to watch and does a good job with their adminning. Very noice.

Very patient babysitter

Great Manuelmin, and my partner in crime. Always happy to see an event made by him!

Hosted a really fun roleplay centred syndicate event. Deserves much credit for that!

Hasn't played yakuza 7 so he doesn't include the songs from it when he plays nice yakuza music. Crimge

Extremely kind, energetic, and fun admin who listens thoughtfully and humors a lot of events. Once gave me a bounty hunter role when I got IC-conflicted by someone who had focused me an entire shift, let me get sweet, sweet revenge. Thanks for that. Whoops, I mistook you for another admeme. Sorry about that! Either way, you kick ass.

While I greatly appreciate your kind words, I do not think I was the guy who gave you bounty hunter! Sorry about that!

so incredibly real if I could give them an admin satisfaction vote all on their own it would be flawless, responds to my prayers, makes rounds interesting, very nice in ahelps THE WHOLE WORKS! thank YOU pumpkin for being so REAL.

Dope as hell. Can always trust he'll have good insight on any problems I'm having.

Alright, so I had an experience and someone specifically convinced me to post here, it was really hard to bring myself to post because this is like, 100% positive feedback so far. I think Pump does good work but... I feel they might be a little too high strung with regard to "powergaming", I wish to tell a story.

On round 200258 I start the round out by doing some basic security officer shit; I get my formal uniform, gear, etc. Nothing happens right away because it's a greenshift, I have a spur of the moment dumb idea to make a queue to get to sec out of glass as I wander around and spot the open EVA room, not even really premeditated, I just saw stacks of material and thought "yeah that'd be fun/funny maybe". Pretty much as soon as I start building it Pump bwoinks me with what felt a lot like a loaded question of "Are you powergaming by fortifying sec during a greenshift." for building a couple glass d-windows because I could, theoretically, shoot people through them.

Just like that, my desire to play the round drops like a clown shoved into a bottomless pit. I "OK" my way out of the ensuing conversation and stop building, they "helpfully" offer suggestions for gimmicks that I'm like, real talk, 98.6% confident nobody would ever go for, such as manning the arrivals customs checkpoint, and offering background checks. I just put my gear in a locker so I'm not shorting the department and quietly excuse myself by taking a nap in the firing range box because my IRL mood is shot and I go play something else for a while.

It was similar to the kind of feeling I get when I'm abruptly cultstunned and spend the rest of my shift as sentient aquarium gravel or when I get left for dead as a head of staff during revs. This didn't seem like, admin complaint worthy but it shot my enjoyment right down and hurt my feelings.

I had a chat with the player who was the HOS at the time, and they pointed out that "under the headmin rulings Barriers roundstart are not allowed. I think it shoulda been codified better, or that pumpkin should have lead with citing it since it's an old-ass ruling from 2014". Also I really was just trying to make a queue to make it mildly annoying que to get to sec, I'm not sure what I'd be fortifying it against on a greenshift anyways. That's all, just "being bwoinked for something like this while I'm just messing around casually isn't fun". Sorry if this isn't the right way to go about this, but I don't really know where else to put it.

Today, I rolled Heretic, and I wanted to try and find the Funny Chuuni Book.

Finding it wasn't in the library, I ahelped to ask if it was not a guaranteed spawn, or if someone had gotten to it before me. I was informed that it did spawn, but that it doesn't always spawn in the library. I didn't ask for the location, and I wasn't given it. Instead, I was given a voice-in-your-head, offering me a riddle. When I took the voice's deal, I was given a riddle to point me toward the location of the book.

They could have simply chosen not to offer me any further information than "It's somewhere on the station", and they also could have just chosen to tell me exactly where it is with meta info.

Instead, Pumpkin chose to make it fun and interesting, giving me something to do that kept me engaged for most of the round. This is a 10/10 decision. I have many stories of Pumpkin finding fun and interesting ways to add some spice to the round, and never any stories about them ruining them.

Peak Goodmin.

i love pumpo

They recently did a really cool event about a visit from Tirizan Royalty. They did a great job as the Princess.

I DIDN'T PLAY THE PRINCESS!!! THIS IS SLANDER FROM THE REAL PRINCESS PLAYER

That event was really fun! Thanks a lot, and I think that it wouldn't have been as good without you playing the princess. Thanks Pumpkin! In all seriousness, I really gotta give props to Lacran, they did a great job as the princess, and I don't think the event would have been the same without Lacran.

Unbelievably patient, creative and friendly regardless of circumstances, both in and out of character, as an admin or player. Has a very good read on players moods/actions and knows how to respond appropriately. Very engaging in rounds. Nothing but the highest praise.

Loved the vampire event, it gave a grey area to the station, and something that drives the crew apart, other than normal shenanigans. I also love how you handle ahelps, very concise, no yapping, just business. I really loved shooting spiders with my russian surplus, it was great.

Ran a fun event (Round 215515, I think) involving a vampire mafia. I had a great time as one of the vampires, and judging by manuelcord/OOC after the round ended, plenty of others did too.

I didn't even SEE the vampires, terrible event, vampires weren't even REAL. How can you call a vampire real when you don't see them? 1984. 10/10 btw.

Loved the cultcomm event, hope we get a sequel with NT remnants and nukies declaring war on a cult station

Ahelped for them to revenant me after a bad round. Politely denied and gave me some advice instead of just flatly saying no. I had a pretty bad day up until that point, and was in a pretty defeatist mood, but I stuck around and actually had a decent time thanks to them.

Excellent DJ, fun to be around, rides the line between whimsy and seriousness that I think all admins should strive to embody. Has been much more active on Manny recently, which is a boon to our playerbase. Also has been in my forum signature since I joined the forums, basically, so I really have no excuse to have not said all of this sooner!
