    I'm EST (GMT -5). I feel like I'm being judged a little too harshly on the medical matter. I'm confident that anyone who observed me work in medical would not be disappointed. I have several THOUSAND hours of experience on SS13 across Paradise and CM. Surgery works 95% the same as it does on Paradise and I've already discovered and learned the differences between them. I know all of the surgeries off the top of my head and can work quickly and efficiently in medchem, so much so that the battery is usually drained after I'm in there working for more then a few minutes as I make chems faster then it recharges.

    I took this real fast as proof of playtime.

    Hey.

    1 - You're tryin' so hard to get this whitelist, why are you doing this? Why did you make this app? "Enjoying the role's play style" isn't a great answer for me.

    2 - What'd you do if your app got denied?

    3 - You've made a mistake while treating a marine, leading to his perma-death. What'd you do?

    4 - After trying to revive someone, their Health Icon changed to a flashing broken heart. What does that mean? How to solve it?

    1. There's been a lot of rounds recently that I've played where they were wasn't a synth and the lack of one hurt and I noticed. I know that I can do the job and do it well and I want to be able to help as best I can when they need it and the synth is allowed to do anything that's needed to help. On Paradise if something is going horribly wrong then I can go help fix it, they don't have the skill system that locks people into one job (which is actually something that I really like about the server as it means that specialist are actually really useful) and it always irritates me just a bit when I see someone messing up something really badly that I know I could do. It also somewhat boiled down to a discussion I had on the discord a while ago with some others talking about FOB building. It got me to realize that there are a lot of people on the server that DO just run around and fire guns and do nothing else and that leads to a some of the problems that I see where squads or the shipside staff severely lack a certain role critical to the function of the ship. If you want something done, I can do it. If it is within the realm of possibility to be accomplished and I am able to access the tools I need to do it then I can get it done. I realize that's something that comes along with experience and I'm happy to lend my experience where it's needed to get the job done in the fastest and most efficient way that I can manage. I'm not saying I'm the best ever at every job, I'm not. But I know that I can perform well at every job because I've done them all before and Synth is one of the best ways for me to lend my skills to help the marines get the job done.

    2. I'd be sad that it got denied and then leave it at that. I'm not entitled to a whitelist, I'm just a player here like everyone else. I might apply again in a month or two or I might not. No idea. The question above is why I think I should be on the whitelist but I don't "deserve" one.

    3. In character I'd see it as really unfortunate and later, OOC, I'd apologize. I'd make sure I understood what I did wrong so I wouldn't do it again and then move on to the next patient. My patients have died while I've treated them but not yet to a fault of mine. Most recently a marine chest burst in the middle of surgery because it'd taken too long for him to get back for medical. Pulled him out of the stasis bag for surgery and he burst a few steps in.

    4. The flashing broken heart means that they have too much heart damage due to over-use of the defib most commonly but can also be caused by broken ribs or chest trauma. In order to revive them you now have to do surgery to repair the heart damage first and then continue trying to revive them once that is done.

    The fact that you had not played doctor before making this application is a big issue. Though your answers regarding medical things have been good, I mirror Jakk's and Kineem's concerns about the fact that you just don't have a lot of medical experience and might end up being slow or etc.

    Though other than that I think this is a good application, the story is a nice read (apart from that one slip up Jakk mentioned) you're answers have been good, and I think the quirks actually quite unique and interesting. Therefore I'd think it would be very unfortunate if this would have to be denied and you having to wait a whole two months just cause we're not sure how competent you are in medical. I don't speak for the council so I don't know if they'd change their mind over it, but a possible solution would be you recording a medical round or two so we can see how you perform. Seeing you do some field surgery would also be a big bonus.

    I've seen you play a few rounds and I find you acceptable in medical skills to be a synthetic.

    A few things of note,

    1. Make sure to prioritize people in stasis bags and focus on blinking red health people, I know it can get messy when you're alone in medbay and everyone just evacced, but keep doing triage, make people able to fight, then fix the minor issues.
    2. Most of the times after a surgery, you can just use the normal health analyzer to check if you did the surgery properly, instead of constantly scanning people with the body scanner.
    3. Its more efficient to let the autodoc fix broken bones or shrapnel.

    I'm changing my vote to positive.

    Do you have anything to say about "This damned synth enjoys music as much as any organic I believe. Perhaps you should instead direct your attention to your next deployment Private Barnes and maybe spend some time in the range to practice your shooting. Your last time in the range was disappointing."?

    I honestly was trying to come up with what I thought was a good quirk and the best I could come up with was what I said about telling the truth always and sometimes speaking their mind. I was trying to illustrate how that might turn up in RP and it didn't come out quite as I planned but I couldn't think of a better way to illustrate it. She would not normally ever be that rude to someone and, in hindsight, a bit more extreme than I wanted it to be. The more recent RP log I did is much more indicative of how she will be in game as well as the rest of the synth story.

    I like your application and I cannot say anything other than the guys mentioned above.

    I have no idea how much my word weighs, since I'm a fairly new synthetic, but I'd advise playing dozens of doctor and medic rounds the next month, then re-submit this application. I've found that 70% of my rounds are spent with medical tasks and while I met you ingame, I've never seen you being a medic (or a doctor, but you said so). Both of these roles are high intensity jobs, especially on highpop: they require good muscle memory to be effective on a synthetic level. Here is what I mean:

    - Medic: A player well-versed in SS13 in general - that you are - knows what chems to administer, how to hotkey body targeting, and so on. However, a player not experienced in CM-medicing is prone to make easily avoidable mistakes, such as treating a patient in a firing line, too close to the frontline, too far from friendlies, in a deadend, not pressing medevac, pressing medevac too much, using too many kits, not enough kits, failing to splint body parts (chest, skull, and groin are tricky, you will see why), wrongly differentiating between oxygen damages (is it from blood loss, heart damage, lung damage), et cetera. You are likely to lack effficient space organization skills, something that's essential for medics, not so much for doctors, and something that is fixable on the spot but in a very time-consuming way.

    - Doctor: During hell hours, such as post-evac or during highpop around 13:00, patients will pour in and many of them will straight go to you. I have several players who runs up to me because they know (or well, think) that whatever they have, I'll 100% cure it and do so quickly. This will be the same to you as well. As a non-CM experienced doctor, you may get caught up in the wall of text and not respond, badly prioritize patients, have people burst in the autodoc, treat lung damage via autodocs (that is a very poor practice and as a synth you should NEVER do it, or anyone, please), release patients with less than 90% blood, and, in general, efficient multi-tasking. There are also niche mechanics you can mostly only learn ingame, such as cryotubes fixing IB, and things that, again, should come from muscle memory: the order of surgeries, triaging, keeping your room clean, always-always-always checking for blood level pre-surgery, understanding the medical scan from a single glance.

    I don't think you'd fail at any of these and I do not want you to get discouraged: as far as I know you, you'll make a fine synthetic, just not now. Medical is probably the most important supportive job in SS13 as it decides whether another player can keep playing or not. While our medical system is not as unforgiving as Bay's, it still has permadeath, and our server has a lot of players - a lot of mobs to split your attention in-between.

    I hope I did not sound too harsh. I'm not a perfect player either; I'm basing my above-mentioned points on tons of practice.

    Hello!

    Yes, I'm back.

    So, firstly I'd like you to know that we aren't making it difficult on purpose, we strive to make our whitelist better so everyone can play, but sometimes filtering people is necessary.

    -> I'm not as active as I used to be, but you do have motivation, which makes me believe that you actually practiced doctoring while waitin' to get your response about your app, if not, we won't tolerate mistakes regarding surgery and patient treatment.

    -> You were really patient through all the proccess, tried to explain everything we asked, something that is vital for a synthetic player.

    -> Regarding your quirk, you had some confusing sentences within your story, but tried to explain them in the end, I did understand that you couldn't "pull off" a better scenario there, I'll be ignoring that flaw.

    -> Lastly, be careful when playing synth, as I said before, we won't tolerate mistakes when it comes to medical stuff. Follow Vampmare's advice!

    I'm changing my vote to positive.

    I know I'm not a whitelist council member, nor am I a prominent member of the CM13 community, but I can attest to Sollessa's knowledge and adaptability to learning SS13 systems very quickly. I've seen them on Paradise and CM13 and they've always been very knowledgeable on what they're doing. I've seen their character, Sollessa Storm, on Paradise primarily and they've been there quite a long time and learned even more. I can genuinely assure you, you've nothing to worry about on the front of how much Sollessa knows. If there's something they don't know, they're able to learn it extremely quickly and adapt as necessary.
