Usual character name: Johnny Jofefee and Terry Hintz (Terry is a new teacher character).
BYOND username: ILoveMyBonk
Discord username (if you are on our discord): iLoveMyBonk
Recommended by (if applicable): I’ve been told by a few people that I would probably make a good mentor because I'm friendly, but no official recommendations. I was encouraged by Adhara to write this application, but not specifically recommended either.
Goon servers you play: Mostly 3 and 4. (Rarely 1 and 2).
Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum): Where to begin. I’d say I’m joining for two main reasons. First off, of course, is to teach newer players how to play. Helping newer players take the first step in this game can help them make the paramount decision as to whether or not they want to keep playing the game or not. First impressions can make a world of difference. I want to be able to teach new players how to find their footing and continue seeing them in the coming weeks and months, until they’re basically better than I am at the game. Secondly, I’d like to be more connected to the community. I want to be able to give more back to this community in the way that it gave to me. I want to do more than just exist around this community; I want to help grow it as well.
Now, with that being said, despite having around six hundred hours in Goonstation, I’m not the most learned player when it comes to the most complex of this game's mechanics. Hell, I’ll be honest, I started the engine once and I decided I never wanted to do it again and I still don’t know how to calibrate the teleporter. However, I still have loads of experience in certain jobs. My main jobs have been security officer, medical doctor, and janitor. I know just about everything you’d need to know to play those roles and then some, given these jobs are actually rather simple when you come to learn them. Sec is considered very hard to play, but you just need to know how to communicate with your team, manage a few computer systems, ticket or detain trouble causers, and make sure you don’t give someone an unjust sentence. Besides that though, I mostly know how to play all of the jobs except engineer. I’ve learned how to: cook sandwiches, mop floors, brew liquid flesh, serve drinks, grow herbs, buy low and sell high, lead multiple departments, cook high explosives, give new ids, attach new limbs, give someone fire breath, box, repair doors, hack doors, break down doors, start revolutions, remodel different rooms, lead unions, revive the dead, given pep talks to murderers, tasered rampaging antagonists, performed exorcisms, summoned godly powers, summoned a big hat, went to hell, came back from hell because I complained too much, and make friends. I am more than willing to impart the how to’s of this information upon the new generation of spacemen and spacewomen.
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): I’ve been discord banned for about an hour by UrsulaMajor. I said something about the coprolalia genetic trait that I don’t think she liked, even though I basically agreed with what she was saying about it. Nothing else has come of it so I don’t think about it too much.
