Goon servers you play: 2, 1 very rarely.

Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum): 
When I started playing in April, I knew next to nothing (obviously), and didn't even know mentorhelp existed (nobody had ever actually told me). I had to figure out pretty much everything from the very basics up to and including doctoring, chemistry and construction, toxins and genetics etc. I've come a long way since then, and now I've played every job and learned them all to a decent standard. I can hellburn the engine up to the hundreds of terrawatts, taught a couple of people including Dirty Dan how to do the same and I can build mechcomp machines such as teleporter networks. I've found a around 4-5 secret chems (admittedly mostly easy ones), can make TTVs that go boom rather respectably, and have pretty much every aspect of medical down, sorta including pathology (I can DO it, just not very quickly or efficiently). I've also taught plenty of people things ranging from the VERY basics for brand new players to hellburning and toxins for people coming over from /tg/. Now that I've improved myself significantly, I enjoy showing people how to do things. It might be a little frustrating if it takes them a while, but the moment when it clicks for them and you see them able to do it not just at that moment, but also with far more confidence the next round. It's not just that, but also remembering the frustration with which I had to learn, say, genetics from the wiki and my own initiative and knowing that I can help someone else avoid having to go through that experience (especially with pathology; to be perfectly honest, the wiki guide to it is very confusing and poorly laid out, with important information being fragmented between the two separate guides so you never know where to look) also brings satisfaction. While there are a couple of things I'm still getting the hang of (While I can work the telescience computer just fine I haven't spend much time in adventure zones, and I will admit anything beyond the very basics of packet nerdery eludes me), I'd like to help newbies earn their stripes and being able to answer their questions remotely instead of having to be in the same round at the same time, and also being able to safely answer things like "Why is there a big red R above my head?" without spoiling the round for everyone else.

Feedback is also appreciated if you say no.
