Final Details:

Why would you like to join the CM-SS13 staff team?

I enjoy CM13 and have been gradually engaging more with the community as time goes on. I am applying because I feel that dedicating time to the community will enhance player experiences. I have seen this commitment reflected in the hard work of the current staff team, and I would love to add to that! I would also like to thank the current and historic staff; they do an excellent job addressing player concerns. I particularly appreciate the upheld rules, focusing on their intended spirit.
Additionally, I would love the opportunity to run events. I genuinely enjoy smaller events, like the cargo search involving WY executives. Not too long ago, I participated in an event organized by Stalkerino (the queen bee!!) on the event server. As cute as that event was, it indeed sold me on CM. The chance to spark that joy in someone else is worth every penny. I have a knack for writing, not quickly, though I might add.

What makes you a great addition to Staff? (Experienced Tabletop DM, Aliens Lore Buff, Super Organized, etc.?)

I don’t think it necessarily makes me special, but I hunt for exploits, bugs, and issues in games, which I report.
I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and learn to code, although I will admit that datums scare me a bit!
I definitely care about the community, and I’m always learning new things every time I play. I’m also very willing to teach and explain things to others, and I try my best to be friendly and approachable!
I believe my strongest asset is my ability to step away from a difficult situation and return to it later with a clearer perspective. If I am unable to do so, I will delegate the responsibility to someone else until I am ready to reassess the situation.

In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a CM-SS13 staff member?

From my observations, one important skill is the ability to approach multiple situations with a clear mind. Sometimes there simply aren’t enough staff available, and it’s important to be able shift focuses rather than carry over disappointment from one person to the next, especially if the previous interaction involved a difficult individual.

Anything else you want to add?

I may not have all the hours or have been in the community as long as some, but I appreciate all the interactions I’ve had with all of you! CM is an awesome little role-play family. Even if we may not have had the best interactions in the game, as long as it was RP, you and I are still friends! OORAH and XOORAH!

I would like to add that I do have two admin notes for net-speak, I came from SS14 where you could type emotes in chat and they would convert, hard habit to break, and sometimes I still make these mistakes but I am very quick to correct it!

Opinions are as follows;
Player is reasonably nice, but I notice it feels (to me personally) like they struggle to communicate, I often see them in command positions where it is difficult to reach them or to have them acknowledge communications, coords, callouts ,etc.

Don’t recognize them from interaction on the discord really at all.

as a head’s up anyone’s allowed to submit code/bugs at GitHub - cmss13-devs/cmss13: Contains the code for CM-SS13

I’d consider a mentor application if this one doesn’t pan out.

Going to be a -1 from me because of those issues with communication I mentioned before, best of luck with your application though.

I feel that this is a valid criticism. To be honest, even after investing hours and hours in this game, especially while playing solo in CIC, there just isn’t enough time to read all of the chat and make decisions. I’m not a fast talker, thanks to Joe Dafoe I’ve slowly been learning things! Preciate your reply!

This is gonna be a +1 from me.

Star is extremely active and genuinely just a nice person in the community, they’re all pretty adept at RP which is a plus. I’ve seen them help new players on multiple occasions, just generally a good person to have in the community.

Actually observed you conversing with Dafoe about your issues, with you learning how to communicate better. Decent person and I very much respect that you would step back from a difficult situation to return to it later, taking action whilst being emotionally affected by a situation is never a good idea when dealing with tickets.

That being said, besides what I mentioned earlier, I haven’t really had much interaction with you, would advise playing roles that allow you to interact with the more people, or otherwise engage with the community more overtime, considering you’ve only recently joined us in November.

All the best with increasing your communication skills.
