Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum): So, I’ve had the idea to apply for a while, but have usually been on the fence about it. This is because I’ve always seen helping players out as something anyone can do, regardless of whether or not they were a mentor. That’s what I’ve done the majority of my time on goon. With more recent tides, it’s become more apparent to me that the traditional one-on-one teaching methods sort of get… disregarded, in a sense. Not that people don’t still help out newbies, but it’s a lot harder when you have twenty other people running through your department, or even a new person who is afraid to ask.
For a long time I didn’t want to apply because I felt I could do enough where I stood. As of recently though, because of the large flood of people, I feel like stepping up to a mentor role could really help reach out to people easier. A purple mouse in your pocket is a much greater teacher, after all.
Started back in October 2019, so I’m coming up on a year now. In that span of time I’ve changed my perspective on a lot of things, learned a ton, and met some really cool people. I’d love to be a person people can say inspired them. That may be too dramatic of phrasing, but you get what I mean. My time is mostly spent refining things or exploring smaller areas, but I think I could be more useful. So, uh, here I am.
As for my game knowledge, I enjoy almost every department. I don’t have a specific main, but running the engine, exploring art/telesci, making droopy cake in the kitchen, trying to save a person on -578 health in med, or even growing different fruits in botany are all enjoyable to me. I’d like to say I’m fairly knowledgeable on them as well. A couple of things I still don’t have a full grasp on involve dwaine and some bits of mining, but otherwise I’m pretty confident in whatever department I’m thrown in. There is also a range of non-specific job info I can offer. Overall, I feel like I could answer most questions thrown my way in any stage of a player’s assimilation into goon culture. Hopefully through being a mentor, I can also learn some stuffs to pass on to the new generation of players.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, and if you took the time to read this, thank ya. If you have any thoughts, I’d love to hear em
