Helped me out with a lot of things and was always very polite and understanding, great fella.

very eager and active admin, good job!!

Very active, seems to be on pretty much any time I'm on. I think he tends to press buttons a little much, but we were all heavy on fun buttons when we first started.

puts in fucked up amounts of hours in the ticket mines, does it well too. Ain't afraid to push buttons for the funny, so that's always a plus.

played my song request then regretted playing my song request
good admin

pretty good, responsive to tickets and hasn't given me reason to think they're not fit for the chains of adminship.

cool kids never stop pressing buttons.

bmon has, frankly, a TERRIFYING level of game knowledge and is usually the one answering every technical question i have about the game. answers tickets in a blur of efficiency and even when he's not answering he's in the wings giving great advice to others on how to answer theirs. rad dude becomes rad admin, you love to see it.

Stopped the hit song 'Old Drug Dealer Song' prematurely. Cringe

I've always made it clear to Bmon that I dislike their playstyle. However, I've been very happy with their tenure as trial admin, with the one exception that they have next to zero AI playtime and lack a lot of understanding with respect to laws/threats, and I had one particularly rough ticket related to dealing with a secondary AI.

Really good trial admin so far, but imo needs put like ~30-40 hours into playing AI which, afaik, are MASSIVE ahelp generators and every admin needs to be really familiar with a lot of AI specifics (though he may be able to hold off on that until after the silicon policy rewrite anyway).

Super looking forward to them hopefully getting permanent admin tenure

Since sillycone policy is such a mess right now, we have a specific admin role that other admins can ping to advise them on the policy and tickets relating to it.
I think Id just advise them to ping those people more rather than put 30-40 hours into a job they might not enjoy.

Its silly to expect us to play all the roles. I'd have to roll for antag, ew. Whenever a heretic question pops up I just ask someone, it's fine.

I definitely don't expect admins to play all the roles, but if there was one role that I'd expect admins needed to be familiar with compared to any other it'd probably be AI. I don't expect admins to know the specifics of toxins or atmos or xenobio outside the broad strokes but AI considers a lot of minutae and detail and specificity in a lot of its rulings and behaviour, and the role itself is pretty far off on its own island mechanically/narratively/policy-wise so there isn't a lot of passive osmosis in terms of building that knowledge from playing other roles. I'd be unsurprised if it also generated a larger volume of time-sensitive tickets than any other job.

Okay but imagine being able to roll AI for 40 hours (I have been trying to roll it the last few days and haven't gotten it once)

Very good admin as far as I've seen. I'm not on manuel that much, but the times I've been there, as player and admin, bmon's pretty chill.

Helped me out in a sticky spot where the server was bugging out and muting me when I really needed to talk. Thumbs up!

Round 218235 Manuel

On a whiteshift, added 40 threat unannounced and without a vote because a captain "asked for threat". Shift started with the announcement that there is no threat and all station projects are approved, most people had the expectations that it should be a chill shift and many were not prepared to take on the revenant, nightmare, abductor, and blob that were rolled in. It was very disappointing to see considering how rare whiteshifts are.
I can understand this being appreciated on Sybil or Terry, but I was not the only person on Manuel disappointed by this.

in several instances spawned themselves in as blob in low-ish threat shifts, instead of polling it to ghosts

How about you post logs of me doing that instead of making things up?

Spoilers: I've never done this

I don't remember the round IDs but I vividly remember you spawning as a blob and seeing no blob role in the threat list at the end of the round on a few occasions. If your sure you've never done this it could be a dynamic/logging bug

Blobs can roll through random events (not dynamic)

please be careful about accusing people of this sort of stuff without checking first - using admin powers in this way is against our conduct and could get someone in unnecessary trouble while it's investigated.

admins pushing buttons is logged and available publicly through scrubby, there is no good reason to not be able to verify this beforehand.
