Do you understand the level of RP associated with these roles?: Absolutely, that's why I want them!
How do you feel these jobs should and shouldn't be played? In general, I think whitelist jobs should be primarily played in a way that creates a story. If you take serial killer for example, the role is inherently someone who is potentially ending the story/round of another player for the sake of telling a story. The person who fills that role should not let that prohibit them from being creative in how that particular story unfolds. In short Do: the actions that your role entails, but Don't: Take the role purely for the sake of being Billy Badass that wipes the round; have fun and make your run something players have fun interacting with too! If the round ends and folks go to #last-round-chat saying "Dude I heard/saw X and felt like Y", you're on the right track.
What do you enjoy most about CMU and what do you think could improve?: Honestly the part of CMU I enjoy the most is not what brought be to CM in the first place. When my friend told be about the community I enjoyed the mindless monotony of >get gun >shoot bug. Now that CM has been brought to life in SS14 we have other game modes such as Insurgency and Colony Fall which I enjoy the absolute most because of the player interactions. I frequently played police roles and enjoyed the roleplay that comes with this authority figure who's responsibility it is to ensure the safety of peace of the public. Compromise was always the word of the day. Now I main Foreman and enjoy being the person that the colony command leans on to bring the colony together through challenges. In terms of improvement there are very few things I dislike about CMU: first I feel that distress signal rounds do not translate well with the server pop we have. Typically it looks like 20-30 people go planetside, get spotted by xenos and then are wiped by the queen. My only other half-complaint is the new economy really making cargo a background role that is fulfilled by 1 player who is AFK half the round; however I expect that to change as I step more into the new system.
What character names do people know you as?: Originally Throck 'Cousin' Morton, and Jim Bowie (Current Main)
How many hours do you have on relevant servers (CMU [AU14/UA14 included], CM13, CM13 PvE, RMC, similar SS14 servers)?: Between SS13 and SS14 I have logged countless hundreds of hours, maybe even a few thousand. I first created my Byond account in early 2019 and have played since then. In SS14 alone I joined February of this year and have 566 hours and counting. Pics related. Most of my SS14 playtime is on exclusively CM14 or RMC14.
