Experience

How long have you played SS13?: First introduced around October 2015

How long have you played on Aurora: About 2 months

Personality

Why do you play SS13?: I play it because every round is something new. I find myself every day bursting to tell my friend about a certain thing that happened that was unique and awesome.

Why do you play on Aurora?: Aurora is a great setting for engaging interactions between players. On Aurora, I find myself becoming invested in my characters and in other people’s characters. The way the game is played here is unique from other servers, and I enjoy it.

What do moderators do?: Moderators help correct poor behavior from players. Furthermore, they try to help people get the most out of their playtime and experience in the game.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means being dedicated, and ready to handle situations that arise regardless of your current activity. It means being level headed and considerate with other people all the time.

Why do you want to be a moderator?: I feel I will be a good addition to the moderation team. I have some experience with moderating, and while it may not be on this specific game, the principles are the same. I enjoy moderating, and how interesting it can be.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I’m calm and I try to be completely sure of an action before taking it. I think I’m easy to get along with, and I can communicate well with others.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Relatively well. Usually things said over a setting like this won’t rile me up, and when it does I’m aware enough to take a step back and breathe.

Anything else You Want to Add:

Nothing.

I've played many late nights/early mornings (+5 GMT) with Alice Knapp as the HoS, I've never had a bit of trouble with their words/actions. They seem to write well, and respond when talked to, for the most part. I do worry that having them as a moderator in the deadtime, it might make it harder for them to play as an HoS. I know that from experience it does add a lot more stress than just playing a head of staff, especially if it is a busy time for staff.

Interview with the person in question: http://pastebin.com/S5rMNMeq

[Garnascus]

Did half of that interview get eaten? Anyways what i see is looking pretty decent. Way better responses than my interview I would support a trial.

[Catnip]

Okay, my post on this is long overdue. I was the person who originally contacted shame about applying for mod, so it's quite obvious that I'm supporting a trial. Interview responses are gud.

[Shadow]

Oh yes, my opinion.

I am not fully happy with some answers, but we can work on that during your trial, in case you get one.

A raw diamond, if I may add.
