Adam - Vampmare's Synthetic App

Post by Vampmare » 24 Feb 2018, 13:42

Byond ID:
Vampmare

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here):
I play 50/50 xeno and marines. Xeno for the gameplay and marines for the RP.
Antonio ‘Panther’ Dispenza, Isamu Noguchi, Adam Shafir and Tyrone ‘Legs’ Keeper.

Name/Designation of the Synth Character you’re requesting to use (Follows common naming rules, and requires a first name with no last name):
Adam

Are you familiar with the Synthetic Programming and Guidelines (viewtopic.php?f=57&t=14417)?
Yes, I've read them a few times.

Synthetic Character Story (An ADEQUATE description and story of your Synthetics actions and involvement in a previous mission onboard the Almayer):
► Show Spoiler
How do you intend to play your Synth (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your Synth and what support roles you’ll mainly focus on, what is your synthetics quirk)?
In reality the quirk is the “religious” act, but since it’s supposed to be a personality trait. I’ll describe it as optimistic (Seen a thousand times before, I know). In the story Adam preaches in almost every sentence, but ingame I’ll tone it down a notch for my own and others sanity.

I prefer being in an environment where the synth roles shine the most, around other people. This could be situations such as being in CIC, assisting in building FOB, stabilizing injured marines or piloting the Alamo. In the end I’ll move to where I’m needed, because that is what a synthetic does.

How familiar are you with support roles? (ie; Medical, MT, Science, SO)
I no-life medical on other servers, but I haven’t tried doctor on CM yet (I do have two screens, so one on the wiki and one in the operation room is the way to play). I know how to stabilize patients from my many medic hours, so its just in the operation room I lack experience. Haven’t tried Research either, but apart from these two I know all other roles well.

Why should we whitelist you?
I know I don’t post here on the forums (I just lurk), but I’m very active in game and vocal in the associated OOC. I like RP’ing ingame and do actively search for it when I go human roles, but when you have played the same role a few times in row, it goes on auto-pilot instead of proper RP(Maybe that’s just me). This is also the reason I have so many characters, I like to keep it fresh. The synthetic role is perfect in that way that it is very diverse and it allows me to freely switch around.

I play mostly IPC on other servers, so I’m familiar with the robotic roleplaying. I came up with the religious act as a way to be different from other synths. I do hope it is not too different and way off what IC’ly a company like W-Y would allow.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)?
Was banned for EORG when I first joined the server two years or so ago. Haven't done anything since that, as far as I know.

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why?
No.

Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or the Synthetic Programming Guideline?
Yes, of course.

Thank you for taking the time to read my application.
I have a few whitelists and a few characters...

I haven't seen you much personally around, but now that I know who to look for I'll try to keep an eye out to give you a full vote. Everything else on your application seems to be more or less good! I'll edit my post, or bring up another one once I manage to spot you in game more often. Good luck!
hi, smile.

Saw and had a chat with you on LZ1 as Tyrone ‘Legs’ Keeper, nothing bad about you as far as I remember, I'd enjoy seeing you as a Synth,

1. You have four forum posts, and this one is your second.
2. Haven't seen your character, this could be a timezone thing.

I'm at a -1 for now, see if you can convince me otherwise.

1. I quote "I know I don’t post here on the forums (I just lurk), but I’m very active in game and vocal in the associated OOC.", but it is a fair point. I'll try to increase my forum activity regarding posts, but I'm generally pretty busy so I prioritize playing over posting on the forum.

2. I dont think I've interacted with any of your characters, but I'll be on the lookout.

With this being your second post, all I can get from it is you just waited a month after you made your forum account, and then once you hit that month mark you decided to make a synthetic application. I can understand that other people know your presence in game and can attest to it, but from an outsider looking in it looks like you ignored the forum activity and used it just to get a whitelist.

Seeing the one month requirement on the synthetic application is what got me into making a forum account, correct. I did not just wait one month and log on for my synth application. I've been reading the posts popping up and following the news, but I'm not much of a poster myself, as I prefer just interacting over discord and OOC if needed.

One could arque that forum acitvity is very important, as you're doing, but for me I just see the requirement as a way of seeing that I have been invested in the community for a month atleast. (Been playing on and off for two years). If I misunderstood that and the higher ups really want to see forum activity with posting of their accepted Synthetics, I'll of course consider and correct until re-applying.

Thanks for the reply.

First, do you play with one character currently, or switch in or out?

Second...

Synthetic is a high RP role, and in any other whitelist app, I look for activity in forums, not just game.
Have not seen any other characters in shipside roles
Good story

Neutral, synth and pred have to be on the forums constantly to help and reply to other applicants in my opinion.

I'm switching in and out. I'll try to up my forum activity. I can see the reasoning behind it, but sadly my time is limited enough as it is currently.

Thank you for the feedback.

I like your personality, it'd be a nice contrast to the cold, aloof synths we often see and work with the enthusiastic ones. Seeing that you acknowledge how it could be a detriment to RP makes me think that you know your stuff. Unfortunately, the main problem is the limited activity on the forums. There's not enough to get a feel for your personality as a player. So far, I'm neutral on this app.

What servers did you play IPC on?
Troublesome, as usual.

I played IPC on Paradise Station with the characters "Overseer" and "Dawn". It was quite some time ago when I last played, since I've been playing pretty much only on CM the last few months. The server is not known for being the best RP experience there is, but I went with a gimmick for my characters and RP'ed from there.

I have been trying to improve the forum activity, but it's been some busy weeks with exams for me.
I'll continue working on it. Thanks for the feedback, I feared the app had stagnated a bit.

I'll stay neutral on this one mostly because of the low activity even though I like it.

But if you pick up your posts and this one doesn't get accepted, I'll give you my +1 next time.

Denied, lack of positive feedback

I would suggest significantly toning down your Synthetic's quirk, primarily.
