mmm, honesty is needed but rough here.
I'm neutral on this one.
On the one hand, I disagree with the knowledge assessment. Youkcat, within their spread of knowledge, is almost a powergamer at points(as someone who identifies as a bit powergamey at points as well, I have no problems with this), and has quite a lot of niche knowledge. I don't really think that's a problem, per se-a lot of the mentor helps I get are interface knowledge anyways.
Oddly, my problem is more of a personality/area of expertise issue. I've had issues to the edge of(and I think over once or twice?) AHelping Youkcat on twisting laws into pretzels/pushing them as far as they'll go.
This, in and of its self, isn't a problem-there's a huge spread of AI playstyles. The thing that makes me leery here is the fact that they're... very opinionated on how right... and even proper... it is to play AI like this.
I strongly disagree on that, for reasons I consider valid, but I always try to throw those mentorhelps straight to ahelp-where they belong-and if I feel a need to give commentary(no admins on mostly or likely to be on due to latenight) I try to give a range of options. What worries me is a combination of "history of pushing it"+"justifying it"="pushing it in mentorhelp", to put it bluntly-and on their area of expertise.
To boot, I feel strongly on that area of expertise optimally having a wide range of personalities, so that makes me double leery of any sort of meta-opinion "one right way" being pushed.
I don't say that'll happen, not even close... but it's enough to make me comment why I'm not saying yes-or no, for that matter, as it's obviously a personality call.
