Goon servers you play: Usually 1/3 but, 2/4 are also played, just less frequently.

Reason for application + game experience (300 word minimum): I have been playing for one and a half years. My entire goal in life is to help people, and being a mentor would allow to do so better, while still having as much fun at the same time. Every time I see a dumb looking weirdly out of place Staffie in the bar, I almost ALWAYS (If on servers 1/2) ask if they are new, if they say no, I say sorry, but if they say yes... Oh boy. I love having this little person, in this amazing environment, amazed at everything, slowly unlocking their true potential. Once I had 3 straight rounds of teaching the same vict- student how to play. The joy I get from teaching combat, helping them survive, them being like "WOAAAH" after I teach them to light a cig, and they pull it off. There is something special, and the best part is when it starts going downhill. Discovering new stuff in space with them, and having it all be a first for them too, is even better when they haven't seen the threats. The cool places amaze them, but the alien fights? OOOOOH boi, its amazing, and really hard. Even on the station, when we are done our training/interrupted during it, and something goes critical, they freak out, or have no idea the true dangers. This person laughing at this cool wrestling dude, not knowing it just ripped a mans eyeballs out and is charging a lunge towards us, is horrifying. Them freaking out over a little space spider, hilarious. Me escorting them to shuttle through the blown up station, while they are struggling to put their o2 on and are slowly dying, is fantastic, and the essence of SS13.

Previous bans (while this will not affect your application lying about it will): {BASED ON MEMORY} In my first 3 months, I had very little idea of the boundaries, rules, or how to not accidentally plasma flood Medbay and get a 3-day ban. I got a lot of bans such as not knowing which words were allowed, (No I didn't say racial slurs, or anything that can really hurt people.), I didn't know whether I could murder this guy or not, so a lot of light bans ensued, the worst being a 3 day ban for calling myself a r-slur. And jokingly calling an in-game friend a whore.

3-6 months in, I knew the boundaries, knew what i could say, do and how to play the game. I was a little gremlin goblin shit fiend, so I got a couple bans for minor griefing, like naming the A.I. 'Poop' as the Chief Engineer, plasma flooding the M.D's office (Nobody was hurt), and some warnings. I also got de-limbed for trying to get a Admin Staffie to drink neurotoxin.

6-16 months in, I was now your average player, I had my favorite jobs, played some antag rounds, and rarely got even a warning. The only exception being that now I was playing the Roleplay servers, and some people had to correct me on the rules, but nothing serious. I haven't got a warning in months (Far as I can remember)
