Goonhub
Usual character name: Rupert Wilde (Human), ADVISOR (Silicon)
BYOND username: DisturbHerb (Main ckey), PeturbHerb (I needed more cloud saves.)
Discord username (if you are on our discord): DisturbHerb#8888
Recommended by (if applicable): Jan.antilles, Nefarious6th
Goon servers you play: Goonstation 3 and 4
Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
I have been a semi-active Ssethtide player since I first joined Goonstation in late 2019-early 2020. My main hideout was the roleplay servers (mainly Goon RP 4, previously RP1) and have made myself familiar with the community here. Most of my experience of the game is quite varied, but I'm reasonably knowledgable in the basics of all the roles and some more advanced knowledge for things like Command and Security.
While I have played, I've made genuine attempts to show new players the ropes if I'm given the rare chance to do so. Teaching people about this farty spacegame that I've been passionate about is definitely very rewarding. Lord knows that this game's learning curve is a vertical wall, and I'd like to play my part in easing the new people in to the game and bullying them into joining the Discord so I can aggressively befriend them. Anything I can do to flatten the difficulty curve, I could do better with access to mentor tools.
While I have had few chances to actually spend a large amount of time teaching someone, I hope to do so to get better at teaching. I've also been quite active on the Discord server, especially on #rp-server, and I try my best to answer the questions people post.
Not only am I happy to teach, I'm also passionate about learning. Despite this game completely taking over my life at points, there are still so many mechanics I can barely comprehend; station networks, advanced chemistry, chicken breeding, the list goes on. Every round somehow manages to teach me one thing I didn't know before, and I'd be tickled pink if I could help pass on that knowledge.
I like to think that I treat people fairly and in a spirit of friendship, but that's probably subject to debate. At the very least, that's the sort of person I want to be. I want to be someone that's easily approachable and accomodating; something I think is very important to being a mentor.
I think I should also mention how much I actually like the whole RP server and community thing. Throughout my time on RP1 and Sylvester, I've come to know a great amount of people that I genuinely enjoy playing with, and it's what has kept me on Goonstation for so long. The mentors and admins I'm familiar with are consistently great at not only being good at what they do, they also end up being nice people. They also make for great meta-friends for my dumb antag gimmicks and pranks.
I also keep mysteriously being bullied into making my mentor and HoS applications, so I'm hoping this will placate that crowd for a while. Hopefully I'm currently capable enough to be a mentor and, if not, I'll be able to be competent for it at some point.
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): Previous 14 day ban by UrsulaMejor per my own request.
