I am unable to see any positive future for the site with Niko in charge of ISD.
While I am certain that he is a wonderful person, his abilities to handle situations between departments have proven to be incessantly abysmal.
During my time as DoR, interacting with the ISD was relatively easy, most problems could be figured out with a meeting or two.
During Niko's time in a leadership position within ISD, the culture of practically all departments on site have changed due to the amount of arrests that took place on the daily due to his leadership, RSD testing has been slow, Medical RP has been slow, GSD has been absent. While I understand this is a lot, I am not intending to pin this all on Niko, I simply believe that Niko would enforce this new direction, communication between departments will be extremely difficult.

Trial Game MasterWas not going to be Commenting tbh, but some clarification should be used when talking about the travesty that was the ISD incursion into RCPT, while before it was not good, introducing a Doc where ISD can bypass all RSD and go sample with Commissioner permission was not the answer.
I want to clarify one part, it wasn’t ISD that came up with this idea, but rather the leader of RCPT, Alex Redmont. He agreed to the terms made by both sides and stated that SA also approved it. I created a contract to make the agreement legally binding and to allow us to collect samples. Alex wanted to receive a higher percentage if commissioners were allowed to sign instead of Executives. After he signed, I showed the contract to ISD director Hersh, and he approved it as well.
I believe I did my due diligence by consulting everyone who should've have stopped the agreement if it wasn’t allowed. The contract was never for profit it was meant to benefit both departments, with RCPT receiving a significant portion.

Now, I don't plan to be active on the server for a bit so if ya'll make this man a DoISD it's really not my problem. However, people have actively brought your application to my attention and encouraged me to comment on it so I'd like to talk about why I personally beleive you are the worst person to make a DoISD. Let's start off with something easy to talk about.
Nobody has spoken well about your time in RSD and, correct me if I'm wrong, that experience of being DoR ended because you were literally removed. I'm assuming this has something about the server you mentioned in your ban section, but I've also heard of your late night sampling runs on low pop to make and sell chemicals such as Class X. Remember this comment for later.
I didn't play during that time so I don't know specifics and maybe I'd side with you over SL on your removal. If this is true, I would not use your time in RsD as a show of your ability to run ISD. It just foreshadows another removal.
And I'm sure nobody has had issues with agents, inspectors, or investigators being arrest hungry, unable to take a joke, or thinking they can arrest people over insults. Let's not forget instances such as
1. The bandage theft where an agent jailed a guy over nabbing the bandage he bought from a dispenser. Pretty sure this was a CL1 who didn't even realize what he was doing.
2. An investigator/inspector detaining a guy over accidentally drinking someone else's coffee. According to her (the person detaining the guy) he was 'also laughing' and was in on the joke.
3. The legendary detaining of John 'old' Man where she dragged the poor guy from garage allllllll the way to ISD wing despite all CL4 personnel available including DEA (who was doing a test with the carto, hence why they were in garage), one of the DoRs, and likely others I'm forgetting telling her to stop as she was interrupting a test. Results of said test were invisible drones by the way for DEA, very cool from RsD.
4. The warrants out for BOTH DoRs at the time. From what I understand (because Morikas was able to get both warrants dismissed before I got on) mine being because I dared to stand in front of a certain ISD member who was trying to arrest a thauma after the thauma had asked 'Can I try out a blessing on you?' and the other RsD member was like 'Sure!' So we were on CS bridge as I was overseeing the new thauma do his blessings and the ISD member doesn't bother trying to communicate, just tries nabbing my RsD. As such, because I dare stand in their way and question an arrest, I was going to be brought to ISD for 'obstruction'.
5. Arrests for insults were so rampant that an ECM had to make a notice to all of the individuals you trained (including yourself as you also arrested over insults) reminding you guys that calling you a mean name once in a while isn't an arrestable offense.
6. Stopping a sampling because the image hosting sites like postimages weren't cooperating that day, causing a sample sheet to not have an image of 409. Then I as DoR came down, tried to host the image myself on said sites, and informed the ISD member the 'servers seemed to having issues'. Only then she was like 'Oh if you've gone through that much trouble I'll allow the sampling to take place.' Took 30 minutes off my life, discouraged the new CL2 from researching in the future, and shows how much power CL3 ISD have been given over testing.
7. Legal representation doesn't exist anymore. I have been walking with an ISD member, following her as she detains my RsD member, ready to give help, and she walks straight up to the arrest agent and puts my RsD member in jail. I tell her 'I didn't even get to give legal rep' and she goes 'He didn't ask for it.' Meaning they don't even offer it anymore. Don't worry, when they do it they'll just arrest the legal rep over some mean words:
Many of said incidents, including maxing out arrest times whenever they can, can be shown in this video that you yourself commented on. Said comment being;
Remember kids, the above is peak ISD according to your future DoISD.
Subjective opinion; no the fuck you are not. After my conversation with SL/Ethics regarding why I didn't have any fun playing on the server you were removed temporarily from commissioner and this is what you sent me:
I wasn't interested in fighting you, I just wanted to leave for a bit. It was Ethic's decision and yet you found my DMs to post your weird emoji in. Now that we're talking about your communication let us sum up the RCPT garbage while we're at it. At first I thought you were being helpful. You told us what was and what wasn't 'valid evidence' when dealing with the massive investigation going into RCPT and the forced shutdown ISD had placed on us. However, as we moved on, you kept telling us that we should 'be grateful' and if you weren't helping us we'd be 'so cooked', that ISD has 'mountains of evidence' and that our roster we made to keep track of everything on google sheets was 'out of character so you guys can't use it to prove your innocence.' As such we tried to ask if we could see the evidence against us outside of testimony. Alex had re-done some of ISD's math and found ISD was grossly overexaggerating. When we asked to see the pile of evidence we were met with a resounding:
And yet we decided it would be best to play ball with ISD. We just wanted to run a subreg, so we thought letting the guy who was so graciously helping us with RCPT be our liaison was a decent idea. We abide most of your demands outside of giving you the door codes, invite you to the meeting, and try to understand how to tun RCPT by your rules. How are we treated with playing nice? Niko decides he can make a document fully sampling by himself as an ISD member and can sign document himself. Said contract technically gave him the permission. Here is his own document signed by himself:
I don't think I need to tell anyone that ISD don't need to sample their own shit. Not only does this doc fall short of sampling doc requirements that have stopped actual RsD from sampling, but if he wants samples so bad he could either buy from the subreg he was supposedly happy to save or get on RsD and make a document himself. Instead, he squeezes in a technicality that he can approve his own sampling. Probably to make and sell Class X. Dunno where I heard that before.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand this comment isn't exactly correct;
I know because I immediately went to Alex when this document was brought to my attention over two weeks ago. Asked him about it. He said it was within the fine print of the document. Implying the document you wrote had the fine print, so it's more likely to be your idea than his. Unless he is lying to me, which feel free to challenge me on, that means either something was lost in communication or you thought ISD should get special privileges regarding sampling. No other group on site has these privileges afaik. A1 and O1 get their documents signed by us last time I checked.
In short;
I honestly beleive you abuse in-game systems, have some weird savior complex, are not a pleasant person to deal with, and are part of the reason ISD is so disliked right now. Also, I beleive the individual you are 'mentoring' for commissioner is the individual responsible for half the issues I talked about in the list.

Respectfully; From what I've heard of your character, be it "Niko Murks" or you, OOC; I cannot give you a support at all. I've heard horror stories beyond comprehension from people I trust. I've also witnessed many myself. You've been around a long time, which I applaud, but maybe... just maybe... Leadership roles aren't fit for you?

Actually, I'm going to elaborate a little more on Niko as ISD.
1. His outfit is gaudy, tacky, and bad. How did this PAC even get approved? It's the same one he's had as DoR as well.
2. When I was E-11 SGT/CSG (I forgor which one), I had my panic button sounded after an IC freak-out and being charged at with a CM holding a knife. Some ISD CL3 deemed it a case of misuse, misconduct, and some other charge. It was completely unjustified, and I had it elevated to an Inspector... which was Niko. My LTCOM managed to talk it down to simply misuse and I wanted to take a verbal or a fine since this was my first arrest by ISD.
Niko said (and I'm paraphrasing here): "No, you're going to get a charge because this NEEDS to be on your record and an example needs to be made out of you."
I was then booked for the maximum amount of time for the charge. I had to escalate this to a written statement by the CM saying he charged at me with a knife and take the charge up to the EC to get it expunged.
3. A Combat Medic had kidnapped an E-11 with the excuse of her being insane. After taking it to ISD, a Consultant and I were pressing charges against the medic for Kidnapping. Niko alongside an Investigator took the CM aside... who eventually walked free while the E-11 who jumped to the rescue of this SGT were booked for
4. I had an ankle monitor placed on a vulnerable E-11 who we needed to keep track of, because she was getting memeticaly affected by SCP-035. Niko intervened in this private matter and asked for the ankle monitor to be removed. It wasn't until an ECM had to intervene to keep the ankle monitor on.
These were all IC actions. I cannot speak about Niko OOC like others can, but he has not shown a fair and unbiased leadership style as Inspector, how he even got commissioner completely baffles me.

I... wouldn't really say that you brought RSD back to life as a DoR, you were, how to put it lightly, a bad Director, probably one of the worst RSD had.
I am genuinly confused, you paint yourself as a savior of departments - especially RSD when you were literally removed from the position of director, if you would indeed revive this department I am sure this wouldn't be the case.
From my past interactions with you, I do not believe that ISD needs someone like you as a director, it's a miracle you are a commmissioner with such a CV of misuse.
All the evidence is absolutely outrageous and I try not to wish bad for people, but I do hope you will lose your commissioner role if it comes to that, as I cannot with clear conscience say that I personally trust you as a person after seeing all the evidence brought up against you.

Hello Cherry, thank you for your response.
Regarding your first point I was indeed removed by SA for making the chem lab an RSD only area. We had many cases of harassment and theft of chemicals by A-1, O-1, and ISD, as researchers were not supposed to be producing such materials. When SA wanted to overturn my decision, I simply said no, which promptly led to my removal. I acknowledge that I should have followed proper procedures, and I didn’t that’s. And a few other things, why I’ve stated that I learned a lot after my time as DoR aswel and didn’t fight the decision.
As for cases 1 through 3, I wasn’t involved and couldn’t have prevented them, as I simply wasn’t there. Cases happen that shouldn’t, and as ISD leadership, we work hard to tackle and prevent them but unfortunately, we can’t be present for every arrest or scenario.
For case 4, I was involved, so I can give my side. As shown in the bodycam footage that was given to me, a thauma was being arrested while you shouted “Why?” and stepped in front of the arrest, making it harder for the agent to proceed. The warrant wasn’t made by me and I personally wouldn’t have made it but since it existed, I reviewed the evidence and it appeared you were trying to stop or hinder the arrest, so I agreed with the agent’s decision. Later, Morikas and I discussed it with SA, and the case was dropped.
For case 5, I’d say I’m one of the most insulted people on site due to my suit and being ISD. I get called all sorts of names, but I’ve never arrested anyone solely for an insult. I’ve only issued misconduct charges when someone was already being arrested and continued insulting everyone on the way to ISD as I was trained to do.
Case 6, I wasn’t part of. If an image were to break, I wouldn’t terminate a test or sampling over it, as that would've discourage RSD members and be petty.
As for case 7, I’ve never done such a thing. I always offer people the option to have legal counsel, and I’d say at least half the arrests I conduct or assist with include legal representation. I actually encourage it, as it creates much more RP and trains agents to be ready with their bodycams to pretend false or exaggerated charges, since those are more likely to be caught.
I believe you’re blaming me for many of ISD’s broader problems, which feels unfair. That would be like me reporting you for having your people abuse their magic abilities or the exploits of RCPT’s for profit so much that they stated they don’t even know what to do with all the money anymore.
Regarding the peak comment that was about the satire video of the ISD arrest. I’m that came across badly. i appreciated the effort put into making the video about ISD, it’s a shame how easily words can be misunderstood.
I shouldn’t have sent that message, and I’ve already apologized in my appeal. I wanted to send that apology to you, But I respected the no contact request, as that was indeed childish of me.
As for the OOC price list, we wanted to make it in-character, but you and others pushed back, saying it would lead to “people abusing it.”
Regarding the evidence that’s simply not true. I returned every document I found in the commissioners’ office when I became one, and you didn’t request anything else afterward, saying you were just glad it was finally over. The door codes were something you refused to share, which I agreed with later Alex gave them to me anyway, which I still don’t fully understand.
As for the sampling like I mentioned before, this was Alex Redmont’s idea. He approved and signed it, stating that SA also agreed. If he hadn’t wanted it, why would he have asked for 10% more if commissioners could sign instead of him? That clearly showed he understood the agreement fully, even though he later claimed he was “too drunk” to remember. My own Director Hersh signed it, and the sampling document was approved by both Executive Alex Redmont and Lebronic Ujel as they deemed it acceptable.
Regarding the issue that started this plan Alex told me that RCPT couldn’t supply the chemical orders I kept sending him, as he always declined them. I didn’t mind paying, but he could never produce what we needed. He could, however, make 5L of NHU and only sell it to the first person who showed up after production. I offered to buy all 5L on the spot for a higher price than listed, but he refused to sell them to us, which was very strange. But there wasn’t much we could do, The plan was created so ISD could get the chemicals we needed especially NHU which was depleted and to stop our amnestics from running out completely. Meanwhile, RCPT would gain more chemicals to work with.
Just for context A-1 can sample without needing any researchers, which is a separate issue in itself.
Lastly, the person being trained is named Ashikaga Yoshihare. I don’t believe he’s caused any of these issues, but if he has people need to file reports so we can address them. ISD Command doesn’t have eyes on every single agent, and sometimes we simply don’t know what certain individuals are doing.
Hopefully our next interations could be a bit better!
I read your message very carefully & from what i can see here your only reason for a - Support is that he was an apparent terrible DoR. I have given my opinions towards Niko or Alex's applications, issuing them with a + Support each as i have not seen them do anything bad which would qualify for a - Support & have already been approached to comment on their app on who should get it as my removal should have no effect on my opinion on who should get Director.
I was approached for opinions as a show of respect, since one of them will be ergo my successor. I still dispute my reasons for removal by thats neither here nor anywhere on the forums going forward. If players believe he should never be a Director again based on him being an alleged bad DoR, i say please show your proof of him being a bad DoR.
Thank you
Hi there. Considering a lot of RCPT related things are being said in this thread, it's only right I comment, no?
RCPT Investigation
ISD's entire investigation into RCPT - which was lead by you - was nothing short of stupid. You used the roster as in-character proof of us overcharging people (which you then went on to say is OOC knowledge when I tried to use the roster as proof we WEREN'T overcharging) and whenever I asked to see the evidence you had gathered (in an OOC Discord VC, mind you) you refused to show anything. Throughout the whole conversation, like Claire said, you were condescending and pressing the fact that we are "so fucked" and "absolutely cooked" onto me. It got so bad at a point that I was getting frustrated and had to tell you to stop.
Your investigation into RCPT was done so incredibly poorly that it caused the biggest case of burn-out I've ever experienced on this server. Instead of investigating during operation - like you should've done - you instead issued a shutdown of RCPT the moment we started suspecting an investigation was taking place. You also noted things such as a document with a infinitely toggleable checkmark as proof we gave an E-11 SCP-008 samples, even though the roster you tried to use as evidence very clearly had that order marked as incomplete.
RCPT Shutdown
The shutdown of RCPT killed motivation for the members we had at the time, including myself. The shutdown (05/11 to 18/11 roughly by the way - 13 days or almost 2 weeks) was so bad for motivation that the next activity check after the shutdown (which is a minimum of 12L of samples donated a week) resulted in a two inactivity discharges and 5 inactivity strikes being handed out.
RCPT Settlement
The settlement was fine to be honest. I mean, we paid a little bit of money, got a liaision to check in on us and we fixed the pricing issues. Suprisingly no complaint here, though that leads me into...
ISD Sampling Contract
The greatest source of complaint so far. SO MANY PEOPLE came up to me to complain about you sampling without researchers present - a fact I wasn't aware of.
The contract (for anyone reading by the way) was like 3 pages of top to bottom smalltext. I didn't bother to read it fully because the summary Niko gave me was "this lets ISD sample like normal because right now we're not allowed to"
What I thought this meant was; ISD can now make sampling permits and request approval from an Exec. You know, like a normal sampling.
Instead, apparantly there was a line in the contract saying an ISD Inspector (or investigator, whichever is higher) can approve their own sampling. A clause which I had no idea was in there and Niko also did not tell me about.
The clause by the way:
Yes, it was ONE line in a document made entirely of smalltext. Arguably the most important clause and I was not told it existed. A clause very easy to skip over when skimming a document you thought was summarized to you.
When I asked to see the contract after receiving a ton of complaints, I was met with:
Niko then told me that I didn't ask for one. This could be true, I don't remember as this was like 3 weeks ago by now.
When I first received complaints of nefarious sampling behaviour:
Tenure as DoR / Commissioner
I wasn't there for your time as Director of Research, but others have told me scary stories of activities a Director should never be doing. Take it with a pinch of salt.
As commissioner, however, I witnessed you and your team of ISD desecrate any and all reason behind arrests. Things like Jaffar being arrested MID LEGAL REP for insulting someone, arrests on my fellow RSD for the most bullshit reasons you can imagine, etc etc etc.
You are a decent person Niko. You are, however, absolutely not fit for DoISD.

The settlement was fine to be honest. I mean, we paid a little bit of money, got a liaision to check in on us and we fixed the pricing issues. Suprisingly no complaint here, though that leads me into...
ISD Sampling Contract
The greatest source of complaint so far. SO MANY PEOPLE came up to me to complain about you sampling without researchers present - a fact I wasn't aware of.
The contract (for anyone reading by the way) was like 3 pages of top to bottom smalltext. I didn't bother to read it fully because the summary Niko gave me was "this lets ISD sample like normal because right now we're not allowed to"
What I thought this meant was; ISD can now make sampling permits and request approval from an Exec. You know, like a normal sampling.
Instead, apparantly there was a line in the contract saying an ISD Inspector (or investigator, whichever is higher) can approve their own sampling. A clause which I had no idea was in there and Niko also did not tell me about.
The clause by the way:
Yes, it was ONE line in a document made entirely of smalltext. Arguably the most important clause and I was not told it existed. A clause very easy to skip over when skimming a document you thought was summarized to you.
When I asked to see the contract after receiving a ton of complaints, I was met with:
Niko then told me that I didn't ask for one. This could be true, I don't remember as this was like 3 weeks ago by now.
When I first received complaints of nefarious sampling behaviour:
Tenure as DoR / Commissioner
I wasn't there for your time as Director of Research, but others have told me scary stories of activities a Director should never be doing. Take it with a pinch of salt.
As commissioner, however, I witnessed you and your team of ISD desecrate any and all reason behind arrests. Things like Jaffar being arrested MID LEGAL REP for insulting someone, arrests on my fellow RSD for the most bullshit reasons you can imagine, etc etc etc.
You are a decent person Niko. You are, however, absolutely not fit for DoISD.
