Personality

Why do you play SS13?: SS13 has this charm that other games lack for me. It is dynamic, and though it may be old, it is always changing and each game will be different with new interactions. The mechanics are also interesting with a good amount of detail put into them to really get that level of immersion that is lacking in other games.

Why do you play on Aurora?: It's got this interesting balance of HRP and antag shenanigans, something that I find interesting due to my past experiences being very 'one or the other' with SS13 servers. Either not being very RP focused or having purely extended without any other gamemodes except for special admin-run events.

What do moderators do?: Moderators monitor interactions between players and intervene when required, settling disputes and answering any questions that the players may have. They also teach mechanics and mentor players, guiding them towards the right direction.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: Being a moderator is all about being that person players can direct their questions to. Your role is to help and guide others and so one really has to have that sense of how others are feeling as a newer/less experienced player.

Why do you want to be a moderator?: I like teaching players and helping others out. Also, the afternoon and evening where I am is usually deadhour, where there can be a lack of mods at times.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: When getting my opinion on a situation I always try my best to get the full picture before saying anything. I am also aware that I have to step back from cases where I would be a tad bias because of the parties involved and am not afraid to hand such cases off to people who are less likely to have such prejudices. Online, I can keep my cool rather well. There has only really been one time when I flared up from salt and I have learned from that.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I tend to handle stress rather well if it isn't that extreme, though I'm not one to abandon ship when the heat gets turned up. I tend to be slow to anger, both online and in real life, and some insults may sting, but I can keep a cool head in spite of that.

Anything Else You Want to Add:

Feel free to ignore what comes after this,these are the ramblings of a non-staff member

I would like to point out that I've been playing the game since 10 years ago and I still wouldn't want to be a Moderator (am more of a Goonstation kinda guy this is my first soiree into Aurora) So major props to you

If you've been banned on another station there is no shame in mentioning it,I myself stole the nuclear codes and blew up the station as a non-antag before and I haven't even been suspended for that,and that's some dirt they would never find out in this Application formula,so if you've been banned from Marsbase 13 Russian server for not speaking russian that's cool

Kinda rough that you're applying as Moderator when beeing AI comes closest mechanically to beeing a Moderator,so experience in that field would translate well into Moderation

your timezone is cool for server purposes and I wish you the best of luck in your application
