Why do you want to become a Mentor?:
For short: I genuinely want to help those who need it
To elaborate on this, I primarily want to become a mentor for the SEA role, why? Because I see this as the best way for a new player to get help. When a new player joins for the first time, it could be their first time playing ss13, and they might not always hit the mentorhelp button or even notice the tabs to select it, with the SEA role, I can effectively communicate vital information to a new player. Additionally, I genuinely wish to help primarily baldies, but also people who are trying to get into a new role, as starting out can get quite frustrating for example, CT.
What gameplay areas do you know and which areas are you strong and weak in?:
I know that I am strong in almost everything marine-wise. Basic rifleman, squad leader, and squad support roles. Additionally I am knowledgeable in all the departments; however, I am weak in mostly xeno abilities, chemistry, and anything research related but, I still know quite a bit about each of them to where I could provide basic assistance.
How often are to able to play CM?:
I am able to play CM every day for about 1-4 rounds.

Anything else you’d like to add?:
Even though I don’t have the most hours, I still understand most marine roles to a point to where I could effectively teach it in a manner a complete newbie could understand.
No privates wake up
I’d look around the ship and try and see how I can be helpful, maybe, getting medbay some metal if they’re out, giving them new gloves and boots for everyone who comes in without em, or just trying to roleplay with some shipside roles, mostly I would roam around just incase of there being anyone that is having an issue. I have this issue a lot with MP and this is what I do
Ordered to do shipside intel
While I am not 100% aware of the rules SEAs have to follow (assuming theres ones that only a mentor would know), I do not believe a SEA is allowed to assist with things such as intelligence without there being a proper reason, mainly there being no IOs, maybe the all cryo’d or never woke up in the first place; however, if there were IOs, then I would inform them that I cannot assist them with it
New private, doesn’t want help
Firstly, if they informed me that they knew what they were doing, I would just leave them be, maybe they’ve played other roles or a similar server, but if I see them having issues, I would attempt to help them
There really isn’t any right answer to this question as it was mainly just to see what you would do when given no direct objective with the power that SEA has. Overall the answer was good in my opinion.
When playing SEA you will be put in situations where you are not sure if your actions are against the guidelines, and during those situations you would either get clarification or roll with what seems to align the most when what is already written down. You answer is ok in my book in that regard as you go off what seems to be ok. Although, it was clarified by the current overseer that SEAs should NOT be assisting with intelligence. But it seems that was not yet released to newly applying mentors so there is no way you could have known that, just a quick note for if you get accepted.
Good answer.
Typically when I am met with this type of new player (which is more often then some might think) I typically just link them the QuickStart guide in LOOC, and check back on them in a couple of minutes to see if they still need help. Answer is still valid nonetheless.
Overall, your answers were good, your hours are ok, and you seem to have a good knowledge of ML and SOP after spectating you a bit. I think you would be a good fit for the team, +1 from me.
