Timberpoes - Domitius Limited My Word Count

Post by Timberpoes » #611450

Who Me?

Timberpoes. Admin Trainer. Maintainer.

Where Find Me?

Policy discussions. Code discussions. LRP. MRP. Investigating bugs on live servers. Training admins.

What For LRP?
  • Happy with LRP.
  • Good balance of SS13 moments & gameplay quality. Good admin quality across all LRP servers. No major concerns.
  • Continue poking dynamic configs for best gameplay.
What For MRP?
  • Coco implemented my idea (after asking me) for more MRPmin input into MRP policy debates.
  • Election promise achieved!
  • Mostly happy with Manuel MRP.
  • Continue to support MRPmin discretion when handling policy/rules to benefit of server.
  • Campbell.
  • Not just Manuel 2.0. Open to experimenting to create something truly awesome.
  • Dedicated LoNg LoNg ShIfT server? Enable respawns? Different tg experience? Engage with players to see what they want from Campbell!
  • May mean MRP policy requires further refinement. Work to achieve this.
What For Players?
  • Continue public policy discussions alongside including players who want to contribute.
  • Be more active in ban appeals, admin complaints & policy threads to confirm headmins are reading/discussing.
What For Admins?
  • Continue to work towards healthy adminning environment.
  • Take steps to lower admin burnout where practicable. Encourage breaks, fully support volunteer admin team.
  • Investigate avenues to improve recruitment & training.
  • Work within system to relax admin recruitment standards slightly.
  • Increase standard for admin promotion slightly.
  • Extend trial lengths and/or failing trials on good terms for mediocre trialmins.
  • Including a candidate's primary Admin Trainer in a candidate's promotion reviews.

I like all these points, and the thread being short and to the point makes it easier to quickly get an idea of what a term under you would be like.

Another top pick!

Putting Campbell's fate in the hands of a headmin-coder seems like it would result in an exciting gameplay experience.

Could you elaborate on this point? Do you believe we have a lack of admins due to the recruitment standards, and if so, do you anticipate any problems with lowering the standards (i.e., trialmins who may not be cut out for admin getting adminned as a result)?

Admin pool ever changing. Admins come and go. Fresh faces often good for morale. New admins often good for playerbase. New voices & new opinions shatter admin echo chamber.

Give benefit of the doubt where a potential new candidate is a 50-50. Give them the chance to sink or swim instead of never throwing them in the pool to drown at all. Hope they swim. Will not mourn losses if they sink.

Examples:
Exavere. Adminned on hilariously low hours. Good boi.
NamelessFairy. Admin trainer very shortly after passing trial. Headmin elect.

Will be just one part of headmin team. Any one headmin could veto my platform depending on agreed rules. Must collaborate with other headmins to reach this goal. Be a voice for hope.

If risk screws up, second part of headmin platform comes in: Increase standard for admin promotion slightly. Extend trial lengths and/or failing trials on good terms for mediocre trialmins. Work with headmins to extend trials, fail mediocre candidates.

Want to see new admins showcase a little of the best parts of what tg has to offer. Provide admin and training support necessary to achieve this. Must also work with existing trainer team to achieve this.

Not demand perfection, but demand more than simple mediocrity.

I wonder if you could perhaps expand on your point about increasing the standard for admin promotion. What is it you'd want to see before a promotion?

Continue to work towards healthy adminning environment.
What steps have already been taken that you want to continue? What changes would you like to make to make the environment healthier?

Sow good fundamentals, reap good admins.

Little difference between trial admin and game admin. Same powers. Same priviledges. Trial just lacking tenure. Ask more of candidate before trial.

No longer mere formality. Look for evidence of candidate development from first ticket to promotion stage. Work with training team to accomplish this.

If sad decision taken to extend candidate phase, facilitate support for candidate to reach standard required. Admin learning and development ongoing process. Every day a school day.

For trial to fullmin, expect to find more evidence of development. Expected to know when & how to seek advice. Evidence of responsibility with admin buttons and tools. Support, support, support.

No intent to blindside trialmins at 2-month mark, wish to work with headmin team to conduct informal/lazy/brief review at 1-month trial as well. Discover issues early. Put trial on path to success. Use information to streamline future review. Stitch in time saves nine. Cats have nine lives. Save cats.

At end of trial, look at trial admin. Hope to see full admin staring back.

No admin is an island. Any who are get referendum. Vote to crash out of Admin Union. Have oven-ready plan. Is cottage pie.

Also view in-game conduct. Presence of admin should improve shift more than if admin was not there at all. Boss admin side, shitheel player side, reconsider promotion.

Failure to meet standards not end of the world. Look for potential in trial. Spark of hope. Continue training and development.

Continue work of old dog Coco. Coco sent me DMs every month. Wellness checkup. Mild banter. Confidential fireside chats. Knew I was being looked after. Wish to continue this. Felt like I was valued part of team.

Own work continue. Efforts to integrate new admins into overall admin team. Break ice. Bridge gap between established admins and new candidates. Empower them. No fear to make mistakes, as long as they are learned from. Teaching. Training.

Only one personally trained candidate, PositiveEntropy. They like mini Armhulen. Shitposting machine. Feel great pride when I see them. Train him wrong as a joke. :fire_emoji_goes_here:

Admin mental health important. Hidden mental cost of customer support role not ignored. Stress, addiction & real life problems all genuine. Try to make efforts through my own mentorship as an admin trainer to empower admins to make the choices they need for their own health.

Not righteous enough to consider morally responsible for health of admins. People primarily responsible for themselves. However, am human. Understand others are human. Imperfect creatures. Work together to achieve impossible. Consider it personal goal for benefit of admin team as whole.

A taste of Timberpoes flavour seasoning to headmin term.

Thank you very much timber, that was a wonderful well-thought out reply and puts to bed all of my initial misgivings.

I'm certain you would make an excellent headmin and wish you the best of luck!

Good coder, but stinky admin.
Spends a ton of time and effort so that things can work nicely for others, fixing things both in the codebase and live on the servers.
Doubt enough people realize just how good they are for this game and community.

Thank you to highly based coding owl for their high praise!

Do much work on live servers. Work with admin team.

Still remember old Icebox issues. Remember chapel incident on Manuel. Was also banned for typing word suicide into command bar. Unplayable shift & frustration with no admin response.

As maintainer, strive to create game that never replicates that scenario. As admin, strive to never ignore issues on live game server.

Leverage powers of both to accomplish goal. Driving force behind work as maintainer & work on admin team.

If I was an admin I'd vote for this guy. He gets it. But unfortunately as a maintainer my vote actually counts as a negative towards his electoral chances, this makes me sad.

Am not always easiest coder to work with. Strive to be better. Improve.

Tireless work. Invisible changes. Work on lag. Maptick. Game speed. Memory use. Hard dels. All game efficiency. Often thankless work, so have a thanks.

Regardless of election outcome, filled with joy at being codebase maintainer. Honour to work alongside entire team.
