Personality

Why do you play SS13?: Because I seek RP, and SS13 is a great way to find it.

Why do you play on Aurora?: I was introduced to Aurora by a group of friends, and quickly made new friends here. Also, this server has become a bit of an addiction of mine.

What do moderators do?: Moderators have a variety of jobs- maintaning the “quality of life” on a server through solving issues before they inflate is a major part of it, however.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means working with the other staff to help mitigate arguments and resolve issues on the server, to keep the quality of IC and OOC interactions up to what they are expected to be. (The very best it can be)

Why do you want to be a moderator?: I want to be a moderator because I like helping people, and I like trying to keep communities from falling apart or becoming toxic.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I try my best to keep a level head when issues arise, even if they involve me. I do my best to remain impartial, and to be friendly towards everyone, and, if a situation arises where I cannot be impartial or emotionally neutral, I will step aside and ask someone else to handle the issue, to prevent bias.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Stress is something that I’m accustomed to, and it doesn’t really bother me that much. I don’t really ever get angry, but I will step away if I get mad, and insults? It may sound odd, but I typically don’t even realize that something should offend me.

Anything Else You Want to Add:

Well, I filled out this application to be a mod on this server. I’ve been a mod and admin on several other servers (All minecraft, though), but never on a RP server. Let me make this clear, I will still make mistakes. I am human, after all. But I constantly ask questions and try to deepen my knowledge of the rules here, so I can make my characters more believable, and so that I don’t break any of the rules. (Just ask Alberyk. He’s the one who usually ends up having to Bwoink me when I do something wrong. He’s also the one who has to put up with my seemingly endless questions about... everything)

We became great online friends through Aurora and its mainly due to XenosTiger's friendliness and ability to RP well. Very level-headed and always eager to learn, despite being pretty new, I think XenosTiger would make a great moderator.

Do you think playing 6 monthes in ss13 gives enough understanding of game mechanics ? Because I've played for years now and still I find out new things everyday.

To be fair i did not really start learning a lot about this game until i was accepted as a trial. Mostly by seeing other staff members answer game related questions. I cannot think of any potential app we have looked over for "lack of game knowledge".
