I'll just start from scratch now that I actually have some time to write it out. I figure it's better to put it here rather than make a new topic. Probably should have just done it like this from the start, but oh well!
Usual Character Name: Crunch Johnson
BYOND Username: sgtcrunch
Times Available: Evening to late night Central Time, occasionally early morning. I usually play 2 to 4 rounds a night for a week or two at a time, and then take a couple of weeks off so I don't get burned out
Reason for Application + Game Experience: Ok, so to expand a bit on my application, I'll go into a bit more detail on why I want to be a mentor and why I would be a decent choice. I've been playing since I'd guess around the beginning of Cogstation. One of the most entertaining things about this game for me starting out was picking apart the various convoluted systems and jobs and making them actually function.
From making complex deathtraps as a mechanic, to making complex deathchems as a barman or scientist I like to think I've familiarized myself on a pretty deep level with all of the roles barring maybe security which I usually tend to avoid, which is why I'm just going for mentor status rather than HoS. That isn't to say I'm not familiar with a lot of the common issues involving security regarding how to punish people or defuse a hairy situation.
Usually you'll see me playing captain or one of the various head roles if captain is taken. I like captain because I can just go and help out/fuck around where I'm needed/not wanted rather than sticking to one job the entire round, and the massive target painted on that green armor and hat always makes things interesting. Mostly though, it's just fun playing as a high ranking role with all of the privilege and none of the responsibility or authority.
Whenever I see someone in need of a bit of help with something, I'm always willing to put aside what I'm doing to lend a hand, sometimes right in the middle of a traitor round. I really get a kick out of helping people learn secret chems. I can think of multiple occasions where I've helped someone to puzzle out grog's insane recipe, including recently, helping someone who already knew how to make it learn how to skip one of the more complicated steps by finding a source of one of the ingredients on the station itself rather than having to make from scratch.
Mostly, I just want to help people just starting out in the same way that the mentor system helped me learn how to navigate the game, to pay it forward so to speak, because I don't know if I would have stuck around to figure the game out on my own without mentorhelp.
I also welcome any feedback from other people, because I'm curious to see if I leave much of an impression on the server.
Previous Bans: None that I remember.
