Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
I've been playing since May 28th of 2024 (according to my Fish medal, anyway) and since I joined I've developed quite the love for SS13. The depth of mechanics and amount of directions you can take towards what you want to do is astounding, and I've poured about 920 hours actively diving through anything I could. The best feeling I get nowadays isn't discovering something new or being the best at something, but instead taking all that I know and putting it towards everyone having a good time no matter what side of the crew they're on.
The decision to apply for mentorship came after a recent round where I used LOOC to help another player learn how to properly use a switchblade and take someone hostage - that "someone" being me. I played it up and resisted, but ultimately I made sure they got to have their big moment as the antagonist of the round. I thought about it afterwards and realized that I've taken it upon myself to help people at every step I could, and I believe being a Mentor is yet another tool I can use to further that goal.
As for the expertise that I've amassed, I think I'm most well-versed in three aspects: MatSci, Mining, and bombs. I've taken plenty of new Miners under my wing to show them the various ways you can go about the trade. Most often that boils down to custom tools, different mining methods, what ores you need for what items, and how to use the gear you're given. It can be a dangerous job, but it's also a very fun and relaxing one if someone knows what's going on! Being a person that can guide them through is my pride and joy.
When it comes to making things get very loud very fast, I've gotten pretty good at knowing what explosives might be too much or too little to have an impact. I can tell you what items do what if you put them into a pipebomb, how to rig a series of explosions, or even how to play creampie roulette if that's what you're after. I try to explain all of these things to people so that everyone's on an equal playing field; the last thing I want to do is hoard information and make it unfun for someone.
Ultimately, the decision to become a Mentor stems from the idea that I already find a lot of joy in helping others. Becoming a Mentor and having another avenue to assist players both inside and out of the game is a badge I'd wear with honor.
