Do you think there has been more competent IAAs recently?

Keep the way it is now, if command feels the need for more officers they can always increase the number of slots.

Oleg is Lawful Good, hes almost a divine chicken among men.

It's rare but happens, more often with additional access requests i would say.

I hate when theres PDA bombing, because i wont be able to use message system!!! Everyone turned it off :(. Asking for paperwork with signatures and stamp is cool and good for records, but please dont use it, wastes too much time from the person running after the head trying to find him and from the head who has to stop for a signature.

All HoPs should use PDA messages, its harder to miss and keeps records as proof. I try to make people message the heads themselves because this way they can explain exactly why they need certain access better than i would.

Forcing people to run around searching for a head of department is a waste of time, i use PDA messages instead of stamps and signatures, it's fast and is proof enough. I don't like using radio for requests because it's too easy to miss and there wont be a record that can be accessed at anytime. And no, that would be C tier HoP being lynched by the mob, one HoP that wants signatures and a perfectly filled form, not accepting it until a proper sign is made (i would say 50% of all crew dont know how to [sign]).

No, paperwork by itself doesn't make someone a good HoP, but those who makes use of it while doing it in a way that doesn't wastes people time deserves applause. There are A tier HoPs that doesnt make use of it, its just that they can be divided into two kinds.

F Tier: The Security HoP Doesn't know what's he supposed to do, after much effort manages to give himself All Access. Sees an energy pistol and armor inside his locker, figures out what is his life's purpose. Gets job banned when he goes after someone for simply banging in his window looking for a job change. Sometimes he thinks Ian is a target practice for his cowboy accuracy with energy pistol. E Tier: The Free Slot Giveaway HoP After being unbanned from F tier behaviour figures out what's HoP purpose on the station, learning how to swipe card's on his identification computer. They will give anything his line requests, access? No problem. AA for clown? Of course! They don't know how to verify free slot's, will transfer crew without asking for Head of Department's permission. They don't know it's against SOP to hire karma jobs without it being authorized. Gets demoted by the captain after a scientist he hired without RD permission explodes departures. They think that Ian true home is disposals. D Tier: The AA HoP He thinks it's his right to keep an AA card for himself since he's able to make one. Keeps an AA ID in the console at all times in order to facilitate his life. Ignores termination and demotion request's, leaving those card's at his table while he's out with his desk window open. He has no idea that it's his job to command supply and service department's. They think it's fine to increase clown job slot's when the station clown comes asking for it. They will ignore completely his fax, will never notice the excellent IAA report he just received about bad crew in need of demotion. Walk's around with AA ID in his pocket thinking he's allowed to enter any department he wishes. They give Ian AA ID card when he comes asking for it with his cute dog face. C Tier: The Swipe Man! / Paperwork Lunatic HoP The Paperwork Lunatic HoP doesn't know the good amount of paperwork, will request both signature AND stamp for everything. They won't recognize fake signatures, free job's for antags. They demand paperwork for petty thing's, as an example: Crew requesting custom job title to ''hobo''. The Paperwork Lunatic has killed many baldies by SSD in his line, one minute of silence for them. The Swipe Man is almost the same as the bridge captain, stays at his chair the entire shift, will do the minimum required by SOP. Only know's how to swipe IDs, doesn't even give himself the effort to change ID/PDA skins. 30 minutes into the shift, after his line has been dealt with, they will cryo thinking HoP job is boring. They know that it's their job to command supply and service department, but won't put much effort in it, will only verify those department's if requested by someone. Think's service radio channel is urban legend. They will kick out Ian thinking he's a waste of space. B Tier: The Personnel Manager HoP Those HoPs are good manager's, will notice wich department is lacking and will always find the perfect job for you. Will rapidly identify new player's, assigning people to teach them at his new job department. They are good at leading supply and service department's, will stay present at all times in both comms asking if someone is having problem's. B tier paperwork HoPs know's the good amount of paperwork required, they wont be requiring it for things like custom job changes or during emergencies. They won't leave their line for more than five minutes, even if they are almost starving to death. They know how to use the ticket system properly, also know's how to deactivate if it's not being used. They will take care of Lost/Terminated IDs and won't leave them in places to be stolen. Always changes peoples ID/PDAs skins. Ian will be receiving an ID with minimum access and will be cared by the HoP during the entire shift. A Tier: The Paperwork Cultist They only have one God inside their hearts, and it is the Paperwork God, for him he shall work, for him he shall give his entire life. They will set Heads as priority round start before the captain even thinks about doing that. Will always ask the captain how many explorers he wants as his introduction to command channel. Has it's own custom forms for efficient paperwork lines. A tier Paperwork HoP wont be at his chair waiting for someone to fill his form, he will go out of his way to attend multiple people at once! They try to improve supply shift by teaching QMs on how to be efficient while preparing for Cargonia Revolution. They will treat service as the same way he would any other department, always trying to help those without anything to do, examples: Making announcements for chapel events/Using your free time to be the barber's only client in the entire shift. They are not abductor's easy prey, will always be aware of his surroundings with his baton next to his hand for easy access. They will not be giving additional access for petty things, favoring guest pass or even going with him to get what he wants. They are loyal to Arstotzka Nanotrasen, will never take bribes for anything! Ian will be loved by them during the entire shift, with new clothes and tours every 20 minutes!

''Zero becomes one, one becomes...''

Last time i did check there was only ONE Wolf around, is he allowed to increase the number more than one time or is it a changeling?

You can have my signature, but two more are necessary

You have to get signatures from THREE heads!

Ryder - Glory to Arstotzka

Owl man and Griffon man, no one could catch these two villains!

Sometimes i feel that people forget's IAAs exists, coming to me with complicated issues that requires proper investigation to act while i, as a Head, have no time to do it, multiple times already i had to redirect them to our forgotten SOP guardian's. Nice guide, i loved it (your vending machine dispenses free food????)(what do you mean by saying people hate doing paperwork?)

One last piece of hope

Praying for one hat

3 cargo forms for toasters

One pda cartridge containing all paperwork templates from all jobs or specefic ones only?

I use custom forms and some from the ''example paperwork'' page from the wiki, not saying that standard forms wich would be spawned should replace all customs and be made the official one, paperwork to me has benefical effects and i want people to atleast have the chance to touch it and be encourage without having to searching for wiki links. Nice custom templates you have, right now i dont have my own fax custom forms.

Yeah, it's own machine would require a little bit more of effort to do it, simple solution if we choose that path is a renamed box.

Two greytiders fighting each other!

Three signatures for your additional access paperwork

Seens like in some shift's even one box isn't enough
