What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This Suggestion is for the addition of a new Research Job; An Executive Whitelist that provides Thaumaturgy for our Clearance 4 friends with the donation perk.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

As far as I'm aware, it has not been suggested.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

- Allows for more RP opportunities for Research
- Allows Executives to do their job while enjoying the benefits of a paid role.
- COULD possibly encourage more people to pursue Executive as they'll be able to use their paid role with the higher clearance.
- It will add diversity to the Executives, apart from the Junior/Senior/Trial system that's already in place.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

- Would probably remove 1/6 of the regular Executive slots to be added (Moreso a neutral).
- Might not be used that much, as it requires an Executive to have XK. (Though, I feel a few of us already do)


Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

This suggestion allows for the Executives to access Thaumaturgy while maintaining access to their position's clearance and duties. It's annoying to NOT have an Executive around; Sometimes, you just want to enjoy the benefits of other roles, but they keep you from being able to sign things, attend certain tests, etc. I believe that this would encourage Executives to linger more on their job by granting them access (of course, with XK Donation still) to something they may already have, but doesn't permit them oversight of Research. Not only does it bring attention to the role, but it also gives opportunity to greater testing experiences and interactions between SCPs, Foundation Staff, and the Executives. It makes things more interesting and gives more to the position.

I am such a big advocate for this, I really feel like doing a Thaum role in executive would expand the testing opportunities. I never bought XK because I was gonna be an executive and I wouldn't be able to actually use it since I had to maintain the Exec standards, but I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could use both <33333333333333

TBH pretty sure if you submit lore that you Exec character can use thaumaturgy and its approved by SL you can already do this. Obviously there is the constraint of needing a GM or Staff to give you the SWEP.

Yeah, but the idea came up a good bit ago during the first Exec meeting I attended, and we figured why not just suggest making it a job. A few of us were hovering in VC while we wrote this up; might make things easier to just have it as a job.

Thaum is locked behind paywall. As understandable as it is to want your specialized department expanded, one that is behind a paywall and therefore not accessible to all players is a bad practice.

-Support, "Pay2Win" Executive slot.
Pay2Win? Pay to Win what? The ability to RP?

Can we get a CL4 Type Blue, DC, Cartographer etc as well in that case? It is a donator role for a reason - is no way you cannot use the Thaumatologist job as it is (CL3) without needing the CL4 keycard ?
All this suggestion is asking for is a way for those of us who ARE ALREADY EXECUTIVES to be able to access the donator perks through a position with equal clearance to what we already hold, enabling us to do our jobs with the perks. It is not asking to give Executives free Thaumaturgy, nor is it asking to give people the right to buy CL 4.

When an Executive flags onto Thaumatologist, they lose their keycard, their communications, and their basic administrative ability over Research. It would just be nice to have all of that without having to swap between the two jobs every 20s for a test approval, credit approval, meeting, etc.

USA only btw


Aside from that. You're essentially asking for Exec to get a reality bending swep.

If you need a reality bending swep to pursue RSD CL4. I don't know if you should go for RSD CL4 If I'm totally honest with you.

-Support, Big time.

he is RSD CL4? the point of this is to be a job that allows for RPing as a Thaumaturge, while still keeping your Exec. Authority. Thaumaturgy is cool as fuck!
