Fire and Glory Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account:Fire and Glory. Character Name(s):In no particular order. Tpr Carlson. Kaise. Vause Kuasi. Usiki Guwan/Zir'u. CAC. Charles Vick. Casimir Laurenzi. Covert. I may have forgot one. AI Name(s):SAHU, MELCHIOR. Preferred means of contact: Discord and Skype, Steam as well if there's some bizarre need for it. Age:15. Timezone:UTC +12? I think? I'm always a day in the future compared to everyone else at any rate. When are you on Aurora?:Because I am a NEET my schedule is rather free, I typically play at 2:00 p.m. to 6 p.m., find something else to do, and might play at 8 p.m., but I'm usually free straight from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. no matter what day of the week it is, anything past 8 or before 1 is an exception. Experience How long have you played SS13?:I don't even know, 2 years and a half? Barring month long breaks anyway. How long have you played on Aurora:Same as the above. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?:Atmospherics and the SM are black magic, I can't be too bothered to learn Toxins, barring anything to do with atmos, I do know how engineering works, though I'm a bit out of date with Baycode's version, I have a pretty good knowledge of how to do medical, I generally know how most of the combat actually works, as well as possessing a cheaty calculator that does Telescience for me, I have a pretty good knowledge of stuff, I'd say, unless it has Atmospherics in it. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?:Besides my test server, nope. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:I may have been brainwashed after it happened but I'm pretty sure I haven't been banned from anything in SS13. Personality Why do you play SS13?:It's a good time-sink, there's a large variety in what you can do and the multiplayer aspect keeps it fresh, as well as the fact that you don't need keen competitive skill to actually enjoy it. Why do you play on Aurora?:I've always been on Aurora, 'tis my first server and there didn't seem much point to move, when I DID look at other servers the fact that everyone and everything moves at hyper speed and the lack of rhyme or reason to anything/chaos keeps me sticking to Aurora. Basically I may or may not hate you all but everyone else on the other servers are much much worse so I'm staying here. What do moderators do?:They keep the players in line, basically, since a look at the majority of SS13's playerbase shows that they can't be trusted to obey the server rules, so trustworthy players who want to help the server are selected and make sure the rest obey the rules. They will also be cannon fodder on the front lines when griefers are besieging us while the Admins plan in their battle tent. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?:It means you need to keep a clear head, keep the rules in mind, and be an example to the playerbase while you are orienting the new players to the server and mediating issues people have with each others, you also need to know how to enforce the spirit of the rules rather then what it just says on the page. Why do you want to be a moderator?:Give back to the server, I've been here for over 2 years and I wasn't banned during the first quarter when I was doing a lot that typically would've earned one, that counts for something, and it'll also give me a new perspective on things. Alberyk threatened to ban me if I didn't apply, and it is better to ban then to be banned. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?:Insults across the internet have no traction on me, my schedule is pretty free which means I'll typically be available most of the time, I also seem to be transparent to most OOC-wise so I have no real opinions on the majority of people here, lastly I don't actually hold a strong opinion on a bad round once it has ended, I'll just move on. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?:I'm not entirely tested stress-wise, but it tends to make me surly, if I'm playing 2D spessmans during such then it'll sap my enjoyment of it and I'll typically quit early and find something else to do, if I'm angry then I usually sulk, ideally I'll eat something and then feel much better because food is awesome, otherwise it'll last for a decent while and I'll have a period where I don't feel like doing anything and just listlessly do something while annoying everyone around me, it has been a while since I've felt actually angry about something though, so I don't really know now, as for insults, as I said earlier across the internet they have no traction as anything someone says to try to get at you on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt, I've never actually been insulted in-person because I don't get out much. Anything Else You Want to Add: On select occasions I'll end up adopting this "Holier then Thou" attitude which tends to be absolute shit, although fortunately (from what I've noticed) such occasions are far and few in between so it hopefully won't be a problem. I also don't really know what I'd put in here.
Killerhurtz Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Having played with this person in the past, I fully endorse their application. +1 I NEED TO CATCH CAC AGAIN
Zundy Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Fires a cool guy and a solid player and I think he'd do well in this position. +1 from me. Incidentally was gonna abbreviate your user in this post but err yeah.
Fire and Glory Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 Sooooooo, I've been thinking on this for a bit, and I've decided I may have been a tad too hasty, being a mod would infringe on my enjoyment of the game a bit too much, and I believe that I only really applied because of pressure. So yeah, application withdrawn, maybe another time.
