Goon servers you play: Primarily Goon 3
Reason for application + game experience:
Reason for Application: If I could make it short and simple, I love to help new people. I could go on and on about this game and everything so cool about it for hours. When I first started out on Goon 3, I was a clueless newbee who fucked up a lot, but so many people helped me learn. Seeing someone need help, I try to instantly step in to help them and walk them through what they are having trouble with. When they finally get it I get so giddy since I knew I helped them even if I have very little knowledge of the subject.
Game Experience: I feel I have a bit of trouble in a few civilian departments since I lack the hours inside of it to know every knot and turn. If you asked me average questions about the department, I am confident that I would know the answer.
Medical
General Medical: Medical was my first department and my first ever character sprouted from it. I know every single chemical in the nanomed confidently, I try to remember the more obscure ones just in case I ever need it in the round. I know most tricks and tips of the cloner and also surgery. I can remember most of the common tools you would need for improvised surgery. It's been a while since I have played medical so I don’t know where every organ is in the body yet, but I could still help someone through the basic process of surgery.
Genetics: In genetics, I feel like I have a basic knowledge of it. I could tell you how to drag a monkey into it, safely use a monkey with it, or how to use the genetek scanner. I know more basic gene combinations, but I do not have in-depth knowledge about this department.
Robotics: This department you will probably never see me in, but even then I still know everything that you would need to know about. I know how to make cyborgs, I know how to get out the brain or edit limbs on a cyborg. I know how to make medibots, securitrons, and other small bots without the fabricator. I can confidently say, I am experienced in this department.
Security
General Department: One of my characters is Hot Fudge, so I have played many hours of security in my three years. I know every weapon and what it does and how to utilize it. I try to communicate with my team thoroughly and also try to remind newer sec players to also do this. I feel like I've taught many new officers the basics of Security pretty well.
Forensics: I absolutely love how forensics works and I am deeply fascinated with it still. I know how to use all of the tools that a Detective has on start, and could explain it any time on the top of my head. When I am an officer and I have a detective, I try to leave the forensics to them unless they are not responsive.
Combat: I think I’m average in combat. I could teach someone the basics of combat, even knowing a few tips in combat in the ring or how to dodge.
Research
Telescience: I know how to use the LRT more than the teleporter, I have taught a few people how to find LRT locations. I am definitely not a math teacher so I could never teach someone the teleporter even if I really tried.
Chemistry: I know most basic chemicals in chemistry, and could teach someone on how to make them with the wikis help since I don't remember all of the recipes. I understand most of it, but I have never really gone fully in- depth into it.
ArtSci: Probably the lab you will find me in the most, I know how to use the dwaine terminal and the program. I know almost all of the shortcuts on the computer and also outside of it. I confidently will teach someone ArtSci, if I catch someone who needs help in the department.
Toxins: It has never been my strongest department. I know how to make a TTV and how to defuse one. I know all of the basic activators for them as well such as signallers. I know how most of the gasses react to each other, and I have teached players on them.
Engineering
Nuclear Engine: I have taught a few people as Chief Engineer on how this engine works. It is definitely one of the more confusing engines to me. I know what gas is good for it and also what gas is bad for it. Sometimes I forget a few subjects, like what a good stator load is for it.
Thermo-Electric Generator: I am prone to accidentally set myself on fire with a TEG. I know how to make a stable chamberburn and charburn with this engine, but I have never got into the advanced stuff with plating. I know how to turn the blowers on- and also how the pipe systems work.
Singularity Engine: My favorite engine to set up, no contest. It is the most simple engine in my opinion and a great start for new engineering players. I have taught so many people how to turn it on. I tend to make bigulos, and I know how to make even larger fields than 11x11. Back to what I said about toxins, I have no clue how to cool plasma to make more power. I know it's a feature, but most of the time I don't bother. Singulo feeders on the other hand, I know how to make basic feeders such as button operated, pressure sensors, or automatic signallers.
Mechanics: I could teach a person how to make a basic telehub or a teleporter with a hand scanner. Other than that, I have rarely experimented with mechcomp since I don’t find any of my interest in it.
Packet Hacking: I know how to packet hack doors and that’s all of my knowledge in packeting. So it is the only thing in packets I could teach a player!
Cargo: One of my least played roles in the engineering department, but I have made tons of money in cargo. I have taught a few new players on how to make money and know the tricks on how to make tons of money also for yourself.
Mining: One of my least played roles, since I never had a strong interest in it. I have taught a few new players in this department, in my opinion it's one of the jobs that is good for a newbee who has learned the basics of the game. I know how to make a strong custom made pickaxe, and I have experimented some with combining ores- but not to the point of knowing too much of the system.
Civilian
In General: Like I said, one of my least played departments with only basic knowledge of most of it.
Catering: When I do play civilian, I will mostly go for catering jobs. I have remembered a lot of drink recipes but not many food recipes. Either if you are a bartender or chef, you will always need to have that wiki open just in case.
Janitorial: I've taught a few players on how to be a janitor, and all of the upsides and downsides to the tools that janitors are equipped with. One of the easiest jobs for a newbee to know the mechanics of a game, and it's great if you just want to chill. I fall back on Janitorial work if I need a break from one of my main departments, such as security.
Antagonists
I know how most of the common traitor items work and all of their flaws. Other than that other antags, such as vampires or changelings I know a few tips or tricks but other than that basic knowledge. I don't play either role a lot so my knowledge on them is limited. Offstation antags like salvagers, I have played very few hours of salvager gameplay, but I know a lot of the tips on how to make tons of points. I have also taught a few new salvagers on how to salvage and use their tools.
My Flaws & My Areas of Improvement
I grew up an anxious person, but Goonstation allowed me to come out of my shell for the most of the part. I have been overwhelmed by a few situations before, but I try to keep my cool and let someone else handle it if I am not in the right mind to do so. I have a background of being meta-whiney when caught as an antagonist, but I have changed how I react to it, and I feel I have improved personally. I enjoy being caught a lot as an antagonist now, because of the thrill and the comedy of it.
Previous bans: Warnings sure, but bans? No.
If you have read through this entire application, I thank you. Criticism and Feedback are always appreciated, if you believe I have other areas to improve in text or game.
