    Decision: 1+
     
    Don, Don, Don where do we start?
    Congratulations you meet the universal hidden requirement (That I believe Fixer doesn’t care about): being known. Now I know you, many do, congratulations you are able to be in a conversation with important people, and not have to introduce yourself!
     
    [For the off chance that anyone who is going to apply for SD is reading this, Although not required, it will significantly help you in the long run, to be known, that way people know your style, and you are able to be compatible with each other]
     
    I unfortunately have to say you don’t meet this requirement (for me at least) I gauge how much time you need to be able to consider applying Is as follows: HoEA and  ECM: around 2 weeks Ingame experience. HoMD, HoS and SA, around 2 weeks Ingame each (for 4 weeks total, example being HoS and SA)
     
    [Note: Just play HoEA a bit longer.]
     
    Although the starter seemed to be a dig on Site Director activity, which I believe it is below average ( and will be improving), I believe the actual main part -the part relevant- is of a quality that is expected of a Site Director. 
     
    This explanation is alright, but I feel lacks detail, I can say as my experience with being a Site Director, especially early on, you will most likely micromanage, try not to. But, to a point that matters to you, although you are overseeing the site, your main focus is… well, everything. I wish I could easily define what a Site Director does, and for most, it’s easy, however when the times get tough, and they will, will you be able to carry on? I myself a Veteran of over 7 months of being a Site Director, still can’t. 
     
    Eh, decent. I don’t think fixer nor, anyone cares what is put, as long as it meets the O5 definition on the server, it’s a question to see if you pay attention. Nothing really to note here.

    Decision: +1/Neutral
     
    Off topic to start with, I wouldn't ping Fixer, although he has just came back from LOA, it will take him to time to review all the Site Director applications. Best option is to wait. I know it normally wouldn't take this long but it is what it is.
     
    The experience you have, is meh at best. HoMD is on the lower end of "Management" roles similar to SA, and although you could technically show management potential with just HoMD and SA, it is extremely hard. HoS on the same matter is extremely hard to show your ability at commanding. I was accepted with my own Experience being SA and HoS -and I am guessing other roles I played around the time-, the matter at hand is I 1. Played HoS a lot -nearly for a whole year, prominently- but as well as SA. This was around the time when Security were, for better terms less stupid and easier -ish- to control. I haven't seen you on any of the roles you showed -unless I forgot which could be the case-.
    Your time in game, is far below the average range of people applying for Site Director, which is around 2-4 weeks. One weeks ingame isn't enough to see if you are able to properly command, especially since the majority of your past roles are very small compared to the amount you'd be managing as Site Director.
    Eh, this is hard to cover, it's up to Fixer to see if this truly matters, I really can't tell, I would just say, it seems to be a bit too young to apply for such a job, the job you are applying for requires you to be professional a lot, not saying all the time, but when shit needs to be done, fun normally takes a back seat, this doesn't mean it will be the case always, but trying to balance being serious and the small, banter with other people needs to be considered. 
     
    Anyone can see what other Site Directors can do, and each does it differently, understanding why, and learning why, is the much more required outtake. Many Site Directors have different styles of managing, for example. Director Krueger, is more mobile, he is your more, involved in daily operations type Site Director, I on the other hand, is less hands on, only getting involved when it is clear a Department head is incompetent, or events. That's just two views on how to be a successful Director, both work, and I assure you many more styles exist.  
    Conclusion: I really can't tell how well you'd do a Site Director, if you are accepted, expect a huge learning curve. The best thing I can say, is that other Site directors -the more veteran ones- would be your best bet at getting advice from, even before getting the WL and after you get it. We'll see.

    As different as HoEA is compared to SD, I think you are beyond capable in actually being SD. It might take some time to get used to the difference, but the experience you have is better than most -and you could get better with trying SA for at least a bit- or if not, nothing really would be gained or lost.
    Couldn't agree more. I've seen you as HoEA before and are extremely good at it, as well as understanding the Legal Codex with your role within CSB. 
    I am not going to say this as fact, but I will use this as a tip, or advice. I think many Site Directors overstep in the first few weeks as SD, either by being a micromanager -of which many would say I was and I somewhat agree- or by not letting others take command of their own units -either overusing MTF- Not saying that you will, just advice or heads up. I honestly can't find anything else to comment on, I think the application is well made, nothing but positive. Best of luck.

    Male. European descent. American origin. Mid-30s. No unusual appearance. A former Foundation Site Director; a recent elevation to the O5 Council. After being held hostage by Chaos Insurgency, He became paranoid and constructed Multiple safehouses and renovated his office into a fortress. nowadays, after counselling from on-site doctors, he is less paranoid, although continues to keep security a top priority. As a Site Director, he used his past experience in the Security to improve the site on a large scale, improving the site overall, in a security perspective and efficiency perspective. 
    Have you read and understand the rules of SCP-RP?: Yes, I understand the rules fully.
    Why do you believe you should be part of the O5 Council and what can you bring to the role e.g (Pressure in extreme situations, making the tough decisions): My experience in positions that require competent people is a very good reason why I should be considered, not only because the jobs have expected nothing but dedication to the cause but also decision making on the fly, being able to change plans quickly. Being able to plan for anything, having a plan B, or a way out is almost mandatory for everything, and even when it would be best to only have one plan, a second plan is always never far behind. Being able to identify a threat, or locate a key significant piece of intel is a good example of why I should at least be considered, being able to notice something that some might overlook as non-important is a skill that can decide the fate of a battle, operation or individual is important.
    Can you explain what an O5 does for the foundation and the site itself and why he himself differs from any other site Administration?: The O5 perform tasks or decide on subjects that require the upmost of importance, both due to the fact they focus on the bigger picture and not the individual, they focus on the effects of their decision foundation wide. They differ from standard site administration as they don’t take direct control of site operations and very rarely make alterations to operations on a site wide basis, let alone department change. The O5 operate within the shadows, pulling strings.
    What is the O5 Council?: The O5 Council is a group of 13 directors most commonly known as the O5 (or Overseer) council, granted the highest clearance level in the organisation each council member is tasked in overseeing a certain department or operation, for example O5-5 (Head of Administration). All or a few might have anomalous abilities, each which is specific to that Council member. The O5 Council is a secret group that runs the organisation in a specific way, with the council being characterised depending on the clearance of the staff member, clearance 1 and certain clearance 2 don’t even know such council exists but clearance 3 and higher either see the council as a myth or don’t fully understand the power and grip they have over the foundation.
    Are you currently head of a department (Job Manager), general staff in Nu-7 or a Site Director?: Site Director (For nearly 9 months)
    What Department would you like to focus on? (Research, Mobile Task Forces, Ethics,...): Security, due to my knowledge of that area of expertise due to past experience.

    That isn't the point I was making, but, it doesn't matter either way. It adds nothing to the conversation and just is a -1 because of someone else. I respect Watcher like everyone else and he  isn't the point , but to downvote because of someone else's review without adding anything seems pointless.

    I know that having fun ingame can be complicated, however, I know you are a decent guy, alright at commanding, on the MTF level -from my own experiences- I've seen you on SA a few times, very active and ready to help, I think all things considered if you do get the WL, I would be extremely careful. I know everyone is here to have a fun time, but "Minge" behaviour doesn't look good on the WL, and SDs are held to a higher degree of standards. A secret from me, SD isn't the most flashy of jobs, you make decisions and that's really it. If you get bored while on combative jobs, I am worried what you'd do as Site Director. I know everyone needs a second chance but is becoming SD the right choice? 
    I honestly think this should be overlooked, It just adds nothing to the conversation.

    I will not and I hope this goes by everyone, want to be demoralised, insulted and called worthless while playing a videogame for entertainment.  If you think my actions are questionable, that's fine. 

    Apart from that, I standby my actions that time, however they do not show me on a daily basis.

    What O5 Designation would you prefer (1-12) and what character?: O5-8 - “The Newbie" 
    Male. European descent. American origin. Mid-30s. No unusual appearance. A former Foundation Site Director; a recent elevation to the O5 Council (between 6 and 9 years as of 2014). One of his first actions as an O5 Council member was to approve of Dr. Kondraki's plan to neutralize the former SCP-083. This plan resulted in the breaching of multiple SCP objects, including Kondraki deliberately breaching SCP-682, and in the near destruction of Site-19. This incident appears to have lead to the O5-ordered assassination of Kondraki by Dr. Gears. Though he was not removed from the O5 Council over this, O5-8 never recovered. Still shaken from the fallout of the incident, he continues to rely on support staff to accomplish all of his duties — including the hiring and replacing of support staff. Thus far, O5-8 has avoided further serious incidents, but rumor has it that the situation with his current crop of staff is unstable and likely to cause further "mistakes".
    Have you read and understand the rules of SCP-RP?: Yes, I understand the rules, with only a little grey area.

    Past Experience in leadership/high ranking positions: I have had a long experience as the head of security, in which I was active nearly daily managing security (which, we all know is hell on earth). I became well known among both MTF and other security staff. I have personally made changes that have been noticed to considerably improve the capacity of security. From around 6 months ago, I have been more active as an SA assisting fellow site directors, as well at times (more recently) have been operating as the only site administration member giving me much needed knowledge and skill into running a site.
     
    Why do you feel you'll be a good Site Director?: I have shown skill not only as a good decision maker as an SA, but have assisted many departments, including being able to deal with multiple incidents at the same time. I have experienced many times when a site director hasn’t been available, this has lead me to having to perform duties most commonly done by the site director. What role does the site director have on the site? The site director is tasked with the operation of the site, it’s departments and staff. The site director’s goal seems easy, but the amount of operations going on at a single time can overwhelm many people, to say that the site director simply runs the site is a massive understatement, the site director runs the site, and keeps check of the departments within it, assisted by the department heads and MTF commanders.
