In my opinion heads should do what they can to get there department running smoothly(within boundaries of course, meaning we ain't gunna kill someone for failing but they might get a slap on the wrist or something) that is a heads job, to run the department smoothly regardless of the efforts(even if it means a medbay being staffed by only a CMO would mean said CMO would run the whole department as he/she is meant to know) also correction...we need more male CMO's Marika and Sean Adams Aaron Bernhoff(or something, Vikings charac)are the only ones I know. I mean I never see Sean or Aaron(probs cause I don't play at the same times) Also put down your heads here : auroraserver.freeforums.net/thread/889/heads-list |

(even if it means a medbay being staffed by only a CMO would mean said CMO would run the whole department as he/she is meant to know) This is a complete misconception and one of many problems which we are facing. I don't care if your chemist is a newbie. I don't care if you can do it better. The CMO's job is to ensure his STAFF is working together and operating medbay. He can step in when needed, but a CMO running everything himself is not only not the way it's supposed to be -- it's actually kinda unacceptable. |

I believe that PK's meaning goes something along these lines:
If the only person in the medbay is the CMO, then they would have to run the entire department, regardless of whether or not they have a complete knowledge of their field.

I have never seen Raieed in a head role, let alone captain. Lore wise it is IMPOSSIBLE for a Tarjara to be captain, acting would be very doubtful, so yea, dunno. I haven't been in game this afternoon so I do not know if you are telling the truth or spouting random crap.

I think everyone has strong ideas of what a head should do, which is said on paper. The discussion doesn't really feel like it's going anywhere. Maybe we should make a list of things heads shouldn't do, starting with Chris's:
Firing someone at round start.
Firing someone for a single mistake.
Telling someone to get out of their own station because you can do it better.
Being needlessly and constantly rude for no discernible IC reason to such an extent that the people under you don't even want to play.
I want to make short posts instead of textwalls for once so I'm not going to say anything and hope someone else says things. What terrible things have you seen heads do that they shouldn't do?

Raieed shouldn't have been captain. I'm going to ask you nicely to quit this already please. He became the captain via IC means, it has already been discussed over and over. It was told to you several times by several people but it's clearly not sunk in. It's not really on true topic of this board, and any continuation of it will lead to consequence as per usual. Now if we may kindly, after this, be back on topic. |

Heads should have rubber ducks... When they are mad, they should squeeze it... Or... Accomplish their darkest fantasies.. ( sacrificng the duck, doing weird stuff etc.)

I have a question. Is it unrealistic for younger characters to be able to apply for Head roles, provided they have good knowledge of their departments and, of course, the necessary leadership skills?
Context: I've been considering applying Amelia for RD, after having her branch out some in the non-robotics/R&D science departments and canoning in a bit of off-ship training. She's ambitious and tends to feel obligated to help fix problems/organize people -anyway- regardless of whether or not she has the authority, but she's barely, barely 20. I have no idea if NT has regulations about that sort of thing, or cares, considering it lets in people as young as seventeen. What's the youngest that it's realistic for a character to be a head? And for reference, what are some ages of current heads on the station? Does it even matter?

It's generally preferred that a character entering a complex field, such as science, be of an age where the character would have had enough time for proper education in all the fields in which a character professes expertise.
A 20 year old is likely not old enough to have finished college, let alone gain proficiency in numerous different branches of science.
But that's honestly a different conversation than this one.

Gack, I should probably write up a profile for her. More context! She got a GED or space equivalent at fifteen, and went directly into college afterwards. But yeah, it's still not enough time to have really gotten into more than Robotics/contextual sciences for Robotics, considering she got a job on the station right before she turned 19. Granted, I'm considering sending her back to school on a planet or something for a bit so I can claim quasi-inconsistent bullshit about relativity and age her up a few years. Which still might not be enough. :L
REGARDLESS. I'm still curious about the kinds of age ranges we've got on current heads.

Suggesting IC therapy for "asshole" heads. Since its unlikely for them to be immature turds.

Heads range from about 30+ on a general basis, but it also depends on the job because theoretically a HoP would probably be the youngest head but because of their position as the general 2 I/C of the station they shouldn't be too young. But yea... enough of that, examples: My CE = 46 My HoS = 39 For a Research Director I would say you are looking at about 40+ but there are some characters that are RD's that are a bit younger than that. |

Some people around here don't like the people who get extreme things at young ages. I did a similar thing with my charac Marika and got frowned upon a bit |
