I am used to explaining things. I am used to being the first experimenting with and breaking new things. Keeping the wiki stuff up to date and easy to understand is imho the best way to reach and teach new players. Made the joke that I am a wiki main more than once during my staff time due to always having the links on hand and a fairly good memory of what is on there or not. Used to joke a lot about not being a lore person but somehow had to keep all that stuff in my head for the whitelists and the time as admin. Overall pretty decent with remembering things, explaining things and keeping records of them. Fairly used to discussions, not a politics person, seen as rude by some, seen as open and honest by others. Would like to help you with doing the spring clean on the wiki. If you want me on the team or have questions let me know.

My only peeve is I don't see you as open and honest in my interactions with you, it seems to me like you just disguise passive aggression/negativity (Ergo rudeness) behind a bunch of glitter, being honest doesn't necessitate being actively unkind to people. But this doesn't really matter, I think you could be a good wiki maintainer ?

[Cnaym]

The issue I frequently run into with the younger internet generation is that many words are put in peoples mouths and little is actually asked. There are winners and losers in the interpretation game, I had talks with staff and players who also chose the way of not voicing their opinions because of the frequent backlash. That's an issue in my eyes but nothing I can fix so I try to keep it to topics I either care a lot about or not at all.

Thank you for your feedback and support.

Cnaym's cool. Retired admin so I'm sure they can handle the responsibilities of wiki maint. No constructive criticism just support.

+1 from me.

Cnaym is someone who's knowledgeable and passionate about the server, as said above he's a retired admin and I know he'll do well as a maintainer.

Well we don't really send people links or inform them, but we do maintain the wiki.

In terms of arguments, I don't really care, as a wiki developer you won't be expected to argue with anyone outside of maybe me when we talk if the background is Magenta or Fuchsie.

But there are two things I want to ask you about.

How long do you estimate you'd stay on the wiki team? This doesn't have to be a concrete thing, but a rough estimate or even a guest on how long you plan to stick around.
Do you have any experience in CSS/HTML/Yadayada/ungabunga? This isn't really a deal breaker or anything, I'd just be interested in knowing.

I have planned to stay with the Aurora until spring / summer of next year. This is connected to my current work situation, which might force me to stay away during weeks from then on out. That would still allow me to spend my weekends on the Aurora and wiki, but depending on workload and my time to spare during said weekends I would put that as a milestone to reevaluate my stay.

HTML was mandatory for me during school, which was over a decade ago though. I dabbled into the basics of CSS back then but that's about it. I'd go with a "experience but not relevant knowledge". Reading and reworking code is not a big issue for me, writing it from the ground takes a lot of effort though since I tend to start at the drawing board before writing anything on a computer. Usually I can find what I need and figure out how to change it to make it work the way I would like to.

Cnaym is level headed, knowledgeable of the server and I am certain could work through any task. I miss having you as an admin but I am happy to see you're still here to play and contribute to the community in other ways. +1

Thank you for your honesty, I don't see a reason why I shouldn't accept you.

So consider your application accepted.
I'll have this closed and archived in the next 24 hours.
