Didn't even list me as a rec...unbelievable.
Nil's good, good-natured, and a good teacher in-round. I've seen him use his spots in Security originally as an officer and now as HoS to mentor new players in those jobs(me included!). I know he says he cracks down on griefers and sometimes, in my personal and non-mandatory approach, I think those things could use a little patience and extension; but I know the nature of handling those things as they occur is also complex since it requires in-round judgement calls to keep rounds going smoothly for numerous other players. Personally, of all the rounds I've played with Nil, I've never seen him do anything I think was unjustified or egregious, even if it wasn't what I would do in that moment; I believe he's used his role as HoS to help make the rounds and community a really good and lighthearted place to be. He goes out of his way when in Sec to connect with everyone in the department, Cyborgs, Assistants, Officers, and NTSOs all the same, and puts in a lot of work interacting with other players on the station, maintaining a very inclusive approach.
Speaking to some other things, he's also an extreme azone and science nerd; beyond that, he answers a ton of questions all across the Discord and is frequently active, kind to new and old players alike, and a joy to interact with. I think he's grown a ton too from Nightshade, though I do miss loose cannon Scientist Nil and especially Captain Nil! He does have a lot of knowledge across the game in a variety of areas (I remember Botanist and Mechanic Nil, briefly), though he spends most his time on Security, which is reflected in his experience section.
Anything else I think he can certainly brush up on along the way, but the need for patient teachers willing to help cultivate good interaction skills for players, in Sec and in general, is ever-present, and I certainly think Nil would be a valuable mentor in that regard.
+1.
I'm also willing to overlook the pogging, as heinous as it is.
