When are you on Aurora?: In the evenings, when I've got no other responsibilities.

Experience
How long have you played SS13?: Three to four years.
How long have you played on Aurora: About three years, give or take
How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Quite a whole bunch, actually, after parsing through the code numerous times.
Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: No, but I can learn
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?: Yeah
Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No

Personality
Why do you play SS13?: It's the interaction with people that's important. I find it immensely rewarding that there's someone else behind the screen having as much fun as I am. Either that, or some weird nostalgia of playing an MS-DOS game all over again.
Why do you play on Aurora?: I find it the most mature server, I guess. My roleplay style aligns with it as well, I didn't really come in with innate knowledge of the lore, but I was able to ad-lib and stretch my creativity, which I enjoy.
What do moderators do?: Make sure people play nice. And make sure people aren't being stupid.
What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: For the most part, facilitate roleplay and break up OOC conflict (except for roleplay conflict in acceptable boundaries)
Why do you want to be a moderator?: Helping new players, actually. For such a complex game I find it actually quite fun to teach niche mechanics.
What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I like to give the benefit of doubt and see things from other's point of view, and I'm not afraid to ask how they feel. I also tend to avoid picking sides, and try to make informed decisions as much as possible. Having good relationships with people are important, but for me, impartiality is higher on that list.

I don't like to "affiliate" with a group or another. I'm also quite confident in separating myself as a person from my roles. I'm going in understanding that moderator's a thankless job.
How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I say pretty well. In heated situations, I know when my emotions are getting the better of me and simply just take a breather.

This includes passing responsibility onto another staff member who is more ready to handle the situation.

Even if I do make mistakes, I understand that I have to sometimes take the L and apologize for my mistakes, try my best to rectify them, and not to dwell on them.

 

Anything Else You Want to Add: (Do not put words here)

Yes, some of these are the same. My views have not changed as much, so there it is.
Gnome. Rat. Steamed Hams. His rifle was on stun, Cigarette Lizard. Warble warble.
