Usual character name: Lily White
BYOND username: Rodney Dick
Discord username (if you are on our discord): good grief#2574
Recommended by (if applicable): Urs, Pali, Lizzy, Vex, Tewf, Sacchamp, several others (sorry if I forgot!)
Goon servers you play: 2
Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): None
Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
I started playing in February this year, was instantly hooked, and have logged a great many hours since. I lurked I'm fairly experienced with most of the roles on the station, but there are a few systems where my knowledge is rudimentary at best (deep botany, mech-comp, packets and pathology, primarily). I can usually be found in the vicinity of medbay, or running around screaming as a staff assistant in a princess outfit.
I really love the complexity of the game - it's so clearly a labour of love, the like of which is really rare to see. It's so whimsical and silly, but also lends itself to creating moments of intense tension that you can't find anywhere else. However, even more central to my enjoyment are my fellow players and the culture of the server - It's a community that manages to be incredibly wholesome, creative and respectful, even when we are trying to brutally murder one another in new and interesting ways. I really credit the moderation team for their transparency and unapologetic commitment to enforcing the rules. Goonstation is a rare place where everyone can feel comfortable and have fun, together. They should be proud.
I really enjoy teaching new players, and helping them overcome the crazy learning curve (the downside of such a dazzling array of complex systems). It's extremely satisfying to watch people pick up the skills, and especially so when your timely assistance plays a role in them choosing to stick around! At this point, I've given almost a dozen new players a standardised tutorial dealing with UI, controls, how to gain illicit access, medical chems and basic limb surgery (time permitting). I'm always more than happy to chime in with information if I see someone in need, and generally try to ensure that everyone is having as much fun as possible.
So why am I applying? Because Urs has been yelling at me for months!
