Usual character name: Vivienne Katzenberger
BYOND username: flappybat
Discord username (if you are on our discord): katzen#8596
Recommended by (if applicable): RichardGere
Goon servers you play: 1 - Heisenbee
Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum):
I am a newer player (Sept?) and have found this to be a great community with a very deep game. Personally it took me hundreds of hours to get used to the controls and after nearly 2000 rounds there is still plenty to learn. I've played a bit of everything, made a lot of mistakes and now feel pretty comfortable with jobs. Don't think I've met a massive amount of new players but I've guided three people in different rounds over setting up the TEG and or person or two over using the teleporter. Today I guided a new player (4 rounds played) through a round of doctoring on gangs and I think I got a pretty good idea of what is involved, initially they were keen on building guns and poisons so I had to explain not just how to heal people but a general idea of the rules and self defense. I was lucky that they were receptive and paid attention because with the chaos of gangs going on around us that I managed to show them basic healing, cryo and cloning. This has given me some confidence in applying today.
I try to be a grudge free player who aims for something closer to medium RP despite the speed and chaos of classic, as the most interesting things that happen in this game come from talking to people and giving things the potential to play out. I know people can look at this as a "game" and quickly run foul of the rules by having the wrong attitude, like the guy today who expected combat. This is where I think mentors can make the most difference, not just answering questions but helping guide players before they get on the wrongside of an ahelp in their first few rounds.
While it's not that mentor relevant I've picked up coding and contributed a whole bunch of stuff that you've hopefully had a good time with! It does help me check out how things are coded to work and work out if something is bugged which has proven useful on Discord!
