TOPIC: uzi's Q&A

I'll break down your question into two parts:

What your future plans for the improvement of the SSRP staff team?

As stated in my Head Admin application, I explain that I intend to improve the quality of training provided to newly accepted/promoted staff members by re-creating the training guides the lead team have access to.

While the content of these guides will largely be the same, I believe the structure alongside some content in particular could be re-done or added to as a QoL improvement. These new-ish guides will hopefully let lead team members effectively train newly accepted/promoted staff with stronger foundations rather than having to remember bits and pieces as I have found myself when training staff.

The theory is that, if these guides are used by the lead team, the quality of service provided by moderators/admins should improve as they are not having to rely on other staff members for as much as they sometimes are. We should still aim for staff to work together; that is an absolute necessity however, if we can guide staff in the right direction from the get-go, they can avoid making mistakes early on and improve their knowledge/skills as staff.

Additionally, once these guides have been completed, I aim to oversee training sessions to ensure they are not only being hosted well and up to standard but the trainees are paying attention and retaining the information that is being shared to them. We could add short quizzes to the end of training sessions to test a trainee's understanding.

Finally, as a Head Admin, I am expected to have a great deal of knowledge surrounding staffing and the rules. Much like any lead team member, I should be prepared to answer any and all questions that may come my way regarding things like: what's the best way to handle X? how to I talk to a staff member about a dodgy warning as a non-lead team member? etc.

Staff members (and regular players) are more than welcome to contact me directly with any questions/concerns/issues they may have. I might not be able to directly solve the issue but I am more than happy to listen to what they have to say and help them where I can. My Steam/Discord links are in my signature for this reason alone, so I can be contacted somehow at any time.

What are your future plans for the improvement of SSRP in general?

Personally, I feel like we need to achieve two key things for SSRP this year/early next year: make the server more accessible/enjoyable for new/worse-off players and find a use for server 2/3.

I'd quite like to see some new jobs or tweaks to existing jobs that make the experience more interactive. I'd like to move away from rewarding players for being AFK, I want players to interact with each other more whether that's raiding, completing minigames to do jobs, participating in new events.

I think we need to find new concepts for seasonal updates for the server as I think people are getting bored of the whole X wheel update, it's a cool idea and is very unique to ZARP but I think we need to explore new ideas for big updates like these.

In regards to S2/3, it's a tough call. I know Clarky, Nafe, Jamie and I have been looking at new maps that we could use instead of Rockford. I also liked DEAD's idea of a server that would be on a 'experimental branch' of the SSRP gamemode which things removed/added that wouldn't be on other servers, effectively like a PTR for a game like Overwatch.
