Have you ever been banned from Monolith? If so, why? Never Banned on Monolith

Do you have any active negative notes? If so, what for? No notes

Have you been whitelisted on any other servers? No I have not.

Why do you want to be whitelisted and do you understand that being whitelisted opens it up for numerous roles?
My main reason for wanting to be a whitelisted role is the ability to play as AI's and ADS as they are usually what I play in base SS14. AI's are really fun to roleplay due to their laws and it feels like the one thing I'm missing on Monolith as I feel base cyborgs are underutilized by most people. I also love how media like "2001 a Space Odyssey" and 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" portrays AI characters. I understand that being whitelisted opens up the opportunity for many roles and I'm likely to try them out as they all seem really interesting in their own way.

What is your most anticipated role, pending a whitelist?
ADS or other AI/Silicon roles.

Regarding when playing a Militaristic Command Role; How would you deal with a fellow soldier that is not receptive to your official orders? And if they escalate to harming fellow troops? If a fellow soldier were to just not listen I feel the best approach is to make sure they heard the order as they might just not be looking at radio/chat or try to convince them to why they should do the order other than chain of command. If both of those fail I would likely give the order to another person . If it gets to the point where they start to harm others depending on the degree; like if they were using non lethal I would have them detained, If they were using lethal I would try to kill them before they could kill others but either way I would ahelp the situation incase people lost out on money or other things that they should be compensated for.

Regarding when dealing with a Militaristic Command Role; How would you deal with your Commanding Officer giving out bad orders, and refuses to actively participate in authority and leadership roleplay? If a Commanding Officer gave an order that conflicts with server rules I would first inform them of such and if they persisted I would ahelp and not follow the order. If its just an order I don't agree with strategically I would probably explain my reasoning and a solution to them if we cant reach a consensus on the order I would probably still follow it as ignoring the order just causes disruption in the faction which leads to an overall weaker faction. If a Commanding Officer were to refuse to roleplay I would prob bring up the issue to them in LOOC chat but if they are still running the faction well and organizing people to work together I feel like it is much less of an issue. But if they are refusing to take control of their faction in any way, again I feel it would be best to first bring it up with them in LOOC and if that fails to ahelp the situation to see if an admin could convince them or to just replace them as that role.

When playing as an ADS Core/Manipulator you understand that while you're an antagonistic ghost role, you are not to immediately wipe out any non-mil vessels on sight, as well as give IFFless vessels plenty of opportunity to respond appropriately and identify itself. Yes I understand and have read the new laws for ADS's posted on 09/18/25.
I think that Non-Mil vessels especially and even Mil vessels should be given opportunity to roleplay as just being shot out of nowhere is no fun for the person being shot and would only cause frustration for them which just causes a bad experience. On top of that having people fight back is fun and I feel it would make it more engaging for both party's.

Please let me know if you have any questions for me or if you have any input on what I could improve on both as a player and a roleplayer

I still remember that one time I set up a bounty on his character because he stole my bsd
