Hi there!
For people that may not know who I am, let me introduce myself: I’m MortoSasye or you may know me too by my character Bella Rouge / Queen. I’m active at most servers except for Sybil (Due to this one being always full of admins when I’m online), but I started playing on bagil on February of 2018. Sadly I don’t play as much lately as I dedicate my free time to adminning when possible.
You can see my connections the past 60 days here: https://sb.atlantaned.space/election

As you may see, I'm currently the most active candidate.
So, why are you running for headmin again?
I have some plans that I would like to see implemented in our community that has grew with the arrival of a large amount of new players this year. This time I’m not interested as much on implementing a change to our escalation policy since a proposal has been offered by our current head admin Hulkamania. Instead, I mostly want to focus on changing how our rule 1 is enforced.
The way rule one is currently enforced and why I want to expand it:
Our rule 1 mostly protects players against people being dicks against them in certain cases. Mostly for IC (in character) situations and not for OOC ones. This means that if someone gets harassed OOCly not much can be done unless if the admin wishes to invoke rule 0 to put a stop to the situation.
This is a game and people get heated sometimes; maybe Mr. Mc. Greytide is doing their dumb gimmick again or Sir Antag killed you while you were chilling in botany. It's natural to be angry and insult them in OOC or salt in deadchat. The issue appears when people decide to continually harass a player for something that happened in-game.
Everyone deserves to have a positive experience when playing here, and going out of your way to insult someone nonstop across rounds detracts from the experience. My proposal would reword rule 1 as follows:
• Don't be a dick.
We're all here to have a good time, supposedly. Going out of your way to seriously negatively impact or end the round for someone with little IC justification is against the rules, this also includes harassing a player OOC (Out of character). Legitimate conflicts where people get upset do happen however, as detailed in the escalation section of the rules.
With the following precedent being added:
8. Starting a fight in OOC/Dead chat or harassing someone across multiple rounds after being informed to stop by an admin may end in an OOC / Dead chat ban. Conflicts are something that happen, but going out of your way to repeatedly do this will not be tolerated.
I’m fully aware this is a controversial decision and it may not be smart of me to propose this, but I prefer being fully transparent about my intentions from the start. With the update of our discord rules, I believe it’s time to give our server rules a new update to accompany it with.
Other extras I’m interested in working on:
- Community events like movie nights with a special role for it
- Continuing the community meetings since they’re an important platform for players to voice their concerns and ideas
- Considering adding mentors to our staff (Not entirely convinced yet)
- Adding a channel for suggestions named #suggestions and #suggestions-discussion over discord where people can vote if they like an idea proposed by a player.
I am open to any ideas that you guys may have too. Because after all, we admin to provide a good environment for everyone.
