My actual playtime pre playtime tracking is probably much bigger than the playtime i have right now(i started playing in 2018).
Since i’ve been playing on and off after playtimes were added.
Was a past sernior moderator around half a decade ago? (cant really remember that much).
Got way too obsessed with the game due to playing, moderating it almost 24/7 and drama shit.. Looking back at it its just stupid young dumb shit stuff that i cringe now.
I do apologize for the shittery though. I barely remember what even happened back then.
I usually just observe and play facehuggy or sometimes just to burn time so i might as well apply and help new players find the ropes. I just chill around nowadays.
I also play around lowpop time.
Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if the app gets denied due to my past history but theres nothing wrong trying and i just want to genuinely help new players to play the game. Although i would appreciate it if i get the app accepted so i can effectively help newbies even more.
Seen them around since I started playing and my key takeaway from any interaction with them is that they have a breadth of game knowledge. They’d make an excellent mentor no question, +1
You’ve mentioned that you have a history with the server and I remember hearing you were a former staff. Could you clarify what you meant by your history?
not gonna lie my memory is pretty blank this almost a decade worth of playing the game IIRC it was around start and end of covid so everything is feels like short term memory.
All i know is that i got into drama stuff while being staff cause stupid young me + COVID lockdowns and nonstop doing moderator stuff which took a hit in my mental.
before being moderator that i was already helping out people in LOOC even as a non staff.
I would be skeptical if you re-apply for mod with what I remember of your past drama ( I didn’t remember much anyways). But since this is a mentor app for helping people, why not. +1
After seeing them a bit in game and mostly their messeges/posts on the forum i do not believe they would make a good mentor. -1
if you actually want to see my reasoning
The general attitude is not fitting for a mentor. After a civil argument it lead me to believe they have a stubborn dedication to looking at things from one, their, point of view which is HORRIBLE to help teach others
I barely played the game this past 1-2 weeks due to internet connection problems and i have played XX drone for the past 1-2 weeks too. I dont know if you are confusing me with another person. I dont even know who you play or if you’ve known me at all.
and in my defense the person brought up unrelated stuff about my woes as when i was speaking as a veteran player and i needed to defend myself. And people were quick to calling me toxic due to my unpopular opinion about xeno names.
And for the record never toxic in game for the last 8 years i played. The last “toxicity” note i received was 4 years ago and that was a spitter melting metal which i have put traps into after asking him multiple times to not do that.
I saw you playing soon after the mhelp has been put up, I usually don’t wait a arbitrary amount of time before checking out candidates.
And the discussion itself wasn’t more so about who is right or who is wrong but it was a unproductive argument about a topic that frankly doesn’t fit the topic of “xeno QoL” and more about a integral part of xeno gameplay, the responses have not given me the feeling of respect towards the other person and from what I saw you have been arguing about different things while not properly responding to the idea behind the words but merely the words (which is what I would describe as a win loss attitude for arguments). In the end neither of you let the argument die down and kept replying to each other in the thread while 3 other people shared their opinion on how it is off topic, quite frankly it would be better if you decided to cut your losses as how pointless the whole argument was. That did not give me a good impression for your personality and you want to take up a “staff” role which I have a voice in the decision making.
I would gladly apologise and greet you with open arms if you had a more laid back aproach of just trying to make the game, community etc. better.
For now I’m denying this. It isn’t a blacklist, and I’d actually be pleased if you applied again not like I wasn’t community banned myself before becoming Mentor Overseer so I can appreciate giving and getting more chances. That being said I very much remember your past behavior myself and checking your logs I did see a decent number of more “inflammatory” statements before I’d accept your application I’d like to see a clear turn away from that.
