BearSchwanz Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Basic Information Byond Account: BearSchwanz Character Name(s): Klaus Kitzler Cerise Contritum Keith Peaslee Guillaume Mol Peter Neumann AI Name(s): N/A Discord username + tag: Bear#4850 Age: 18 Timezone: Australian Eastern Standard Time When are you on Aurora?: Throughout 12AM GMT to 3PM GMT most active between 4AM GMT to 3PM GMT Experience How long have you played SS13?: Since August 2019 How long have you played on Aurora: Since September 2019 How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: A decent chunk. The only in game field I haven't played around with much is engineering, as for security, medical, cargo, service, science, response etc. I've a range from a complete understanding to enough to know the required mechanics. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: No. Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes and I do. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No. Asides from being kicked by Goret for calling him a cheese eating surrender monkey in French. Personality Why do you play SS13?: For the fact that SS13 is essentially, in my opinion, the greatest definition of a sandbox game that there is. There's practically endless possibilities in terms of game mechanics and new content as well as the factor of a thriving and interactive community which is always taking a new shape to produce more intuitive and fresh things both in lore and game features plus forever developing characters to interact with. Why do you play on Aurora?: Aurora fits my criteria in serving me what I find quality in SS13 and my opinion on why I play ss13 just wouldn't be the same on any other server. What do moderators do?: slave Maintain mentioned thriving community which inevitably has its fair share of 'bad eggs' who need to be moderated. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: To be able to discern what is acceptable behaviour that's likely to keep people oocly content with player's ooc actions and decisions and to then act upon what is unacceptable to try and resolve any issues such things create. Why do you want to be a moderator?: There's apparently a demand for AEST/Oceanic timezone moderators and somebody needs to keep skull happy. Asides from that biased motivation, I don't doubt I'd fulfil the role quite well seeing as I've not gotten into much trouble and tend to get along with staff well in terms of a common opinion on different issues when it involves me. I also see the obvious benefit myself in having one or a few Oceanic timezone staff members as I'm commonly on at times where there's either no staff or just the one sleep deprived headmin hanging on. I enjoy the server and I'm willing to participate in maintaining its good nature. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I've a good ability to discern between the in character and out of character issues as well as the vital understanding of the rules and standards. Again, the times in which I'm active does offer more staff-server-coverage, I stay quite collected in controversial dealings and I'm not arrogant enough to refuse other peoples opinions and stories whether they be kind or hateful. From my perspective I interact with the community quite well and get along with the vast majority of people I've spoken with whether I be shitposting or not but what else can you expect from an Australian. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Very well. I don't feel like such a thing could cause too great a distress in general. Insults are typically water off a duck's back. If someone is angry at me for something then it's time to try and sort it out together. Anything Else You Want to Add: Although I haven't had any moderating experience with SS13 or Byond in general, I've had quite a bit of experience moderating on other platforms enjoying good success. Namely just random things like the SootHouse discord for a year which had well over 200,000 members which admittedly was mostly just banning people for posting immoral material.
Bear Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I have to -1 this on the principle of lying in the title! With that out of the way, Bear#2 is an amazing and well collected individual who I have found both enjoyable and a quality RP'r. Despite eating crayons for a living, I think he understands the server rules well enough from my interactions with him and would be a very positive addition to the moderator team. You know.. once he corrects his title. Edited February 25, 2020 by Bear
ShesTrying Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Bear vs Bear. The true debate. Mod vs CCIA. Crayon eater vs paperwork muncher. The prophecies are coming true. The end is nigh. Bear is great. A well-rounded person both oocly and icly, they serve as someone who is more than able to keep their cool and interact with the community in a level-headed, reasonable way. I've never had the pleasure of interacting with them on a deep level oocly, but I've also never had the displeasure of having to step in on any of their actions. Overall, they're someone who I would love to see get a trial. Big +1
niennab Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 In my time knowing you I've never seen you get into any drama or say anything suspect. You're always a happy bean and a pleasure to rp with. In fact, I'm mad that I didn't know you played these characters otherwise I would have been chasing you down!!! Also I believe you tend to frequent low-pop times, where we always need moderators and admins most. I've posed this question on another app but I want to offer the same to you. Being a moderator can be at times miserable. Do you believe you will be able to handle the stress? Will you do anything so to take care of yourself all the while handling moderator responsibilities? A big +1 from me regardless.

If you couldn't tell which characters I was then I did good : p I'm fine with the idea of any grievance I may gain in being a mod, I know that if it gets overwhelming I can just step away or ask another staff member to assist/take over for certain issues I feel are too much to stay involved with or just contact them for support in general as they'd obviously have more experience in dealing with such things. In general I don't feel as though it'll end up being too great an issue.
BoryaTheSlayer Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 You're a cool dude and I think you have a good attitude for this. I have some concerns, but I hope they get alleviated should you get a trial.
Hepatica Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Bear was the first friend I made coming back to the server, and has been someone I treasure ever since. He's a genuine, kind, understanding individual who would be a grand fit for the moderator team. I agree with most everything said about him in this thread, and as was stated by others, we could always use more low-pop staff members. +1

ClemTheDuck Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Bear is a great fit for staff, responsible, motivated, and can keep a cool head. +1 Edited February 27, 2020 by ClemTheDuck
Melariara Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Bear is a fun person to be around and very responsible. The answers to their interview are also very satisfying to read. +1!
Natiform Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) also gotta pop in here to talk about what a good boy bear #2 is i dont think ive ever actually seen the dude upset at anything - he's good at keepin his head cool in just about any situation and is amazingly good at handling stress; probably part of being a stinky sec main. he's not afraid to take responsibility for his actions and apologize when something is pointed out to him, either. he's one of the first friends i made on the aurora, when i wasnt so sure about reaching out and talking to other people that much; that alone says a lot to me, as he's very inviting and good at getting people out of their shells. good personality, good attitude, good boy. he'd make a good mod, i think.

Faris Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 Bear is an overall pleasant and enjoyable individual. I think he has the temperament for the role.
SampleTex Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 I like the forum post, and I like his interview. I would enjoy seeing him on our moderation team as another trial to bully +1
