Usual Character Name: Charles Ludwig
BYOND Username: Enscythe
Recommended by (if applicable): N/A
Times Available: Evenings and nights Pacific Time
Reason for Application + Game Experience (300 word minimum): SS13 is probably the most complex game I have ever played. I first played this game back in 2007, managed to kill myself with my shoes in the shuttle, and promptly uninstalled it. I think that the mentor system is one of the best ways to help players who are struggling with the (sometimes) quirky mechanics of the game and can also contribute greatly to keeping newer players from simply giving up. I took a break from playing for the majority of this past year, and thanks in part to mentors I got caught up quickly on some of the new changes. There are new things constantly being added to the game, and even if you take a break for a few months you might come back to things not working at all like you remembered.
I'm reasonably knowledgeable about every job in the game, and when I'm not fleeing from wizards or doing a traitor thing myself, I'm often trying to help other people with what they're doing. Back on Cog1 I spent a majority of my time in engineering teaching new players how to set up the engine, and it was one of the things that I really enjoyed the most. These days I spend a lot of my time in medbay chasing players with healing patches in my hands, or if I'm joining a round late, filling in as security since there often seems to be none on the station.
Goonstation in particular has a really great community. I always knew this, but it really sank in during the time I was appealing my ban and checked out some of the other servers. I think if I were to become a mentor myself I could help newer players in the same way that the current mentors have helped me over the years.
Previous Bans (While this will not affect your application lying about it will): While I was taking a break from the game, my BYOND key was banned due to some CKey thing that I do not really understand.
