Reason for Application + Game Experience (300 word minimum):
When I started playing on Goonstation back around the beginning October of 2021, I wasn't expecting how much of a joy it would become for me. I expected to play for a few rounds and drop it, but the gameplay stuck with me and the people kept me coming back. Recognizing recurring characters, getting involved in the discord, and getting to know people have all been a genuine joy that make me truly appreciate the community around this game.
Even after playing so much, I’m still learning new details. I’ve delightfully found the game to be shockingly deep. But it can be hard for newer players to get a grasp of the basics. I think some of my most memorable rounds have been when I taught someone a new skill in the game and watched them put it to good use. It makes me genuinely happy to see someone set up an engine after they ask for a crash course, or to see a new player start a round not knowing anything about genetics and end it by printing out useful injectors for the crew.
When I was new, I tried to force my way against each job with the wiki as my only guide. I love the wiki, but my biggest learning moments were when someone recognized I was struggling and decided to take the time to help me. I remember those rounds fondly, and I try to aid new players like that when I can. It's easy for players to be intimidated into not trying something new. The thought of being chewed out by someone better kept me from trying fun new things. I really love being the first step someone else needs in order to get past that hurdle.
In terms of game experience, I like to play all sorts of jobs, so I have experience with multiple departments. Engineering is my primary choice, but I’ve practiced medical, security, science, multiple command positions, and many civilian roles. Botany and genetics are my most limited roles, but I know enough to teach new players how to get started. I also feel I know a fair deal about the game maps, mechanics, and generally good RP server conduct.
I feel like mentor status would be a great step in allowing me to push my capability to help out in the community. Letting someone know that I’m ready to assist and having the tools to take it further than normal is a wonderful thing. I feel that the mentors I know are well deserving of the responsibility involved in that role, in possessing those tools and that community status. I hope that I might be able to match them by becoming someone that helps new people get involved, not only in the game but the community as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider!
Previous Bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): I've never received a ban that I know of.
