Bluezorua Mod Application

Your CKEY (Including any alts you have): bluezorua

**Your Discord Name (Including any alts you have):**toasterban

How often are you online to help? (Timezone): 2-5pm, sometimes after 6pm CEST

What changes, if any, would you bring?: Maybe moderators losing access to bypass the 6 hour messages timer, other than that I probably wont change the server much other than having slightly increased admin uptime

How old are you?: 18 years of age

Why do you want to be a moderator?: I honestly don’t have a good proper reason, just seemed like something fun. I like being a mentor and helping players, so helping players in a different way seems a good way to improve

How long have you been playing SS13?: since 2019, roughly around when RimmyDownUnder released his “radio” video, and I kind of have been playing SS13 in binges ever since

How long have you been playing BeeStation?: I’ve been “maining” bee ever since I got banned from TG as a new player for doing something dumb

On a scale of 1-10, how skilled are you in SS13?: random knowledge wise? 8/10, robustness? 4/10

On a scale of 1-10, how skilled are you as an administrator? (this can include past games): I don’t really know where I’d put myself here but maybe like a straight average 5/10?

Have you ever been an admin or moderator on another server? This is not limited to SS13: I’ve adminned some discords when I was younger but haven’t really done anything like SS13 adminship

Do you have any alternate accounts on SS13? If so, could you provide their CKEY?: none

Your strengths: I’m patient

Your weaknesses: I tend to get overwhelmed when given multiple things to do

Is there anything that gets you really mad, real fast?: people who go out of their way to hate on people having harmless fun

What do you think is the most important trait for a staff member to have?: for a singular trait? hard to say but certainly among patience, understanding and flexibility

What makes a staff team good?: a team that universality understands not just how the rules are written but how they are meant to be interpreted.

What is a staff team’s purpose?: to improve player experience by forcing players to follow the rules

What kind of player are you?: I like to play roles like medical and engineering because they have fast paced mechanical bits with large swads of downtime between them, letting me enjoy mechanical depth and calm roleplay while playing a single job

How do you think you will change once you become a staff member?: I don’t know

The clown slips the HoS and steals his gun, spacing it right after. What do you do?: check if they’re antags, check say and fight logs and see what happened, if the clown was an antag they should be allowed to mess with security, if the clown had interacted with the HoS before and followed proper escalation they probably should be fine, maybe bwoink them and tell them that spacing the gun would be a bit too much. If they clown is just being a cunt bwoink for self-antag

A non-antagonist is sabotaging the Atmospherics loop and pumping plasma into the distro, along with dragging around a canister and releasing it into the atmosphere. Assuming that an admin is cleaning up the after-effects, how do you conduct the ahelp with him?: bwoink them asking why they did that, if they don’t respond or just log, perma. honestly not much that they could say would change my judgement from permabanning them for grief

A chemist who is working alone accidentally mixes an explosive mixture inside of his chem dispenser, instantly killing himself and destroying the machine, along with exposing Chemistry to space. Nobody else was injured aside from him as a result of his actions. What do you do?: check their notes, if they’re a problem player I might bwoink them, otherwise accidents happen and this is just a part of the game

Couple of questions for ya

  • You suspect a player of metagaming with another player. What actions would you take to investigate and address the situation?

  • A player is accused of powergaming by consistently obtaining high-powered gear without apparent in-game justification. How would you investigate this claim and what evidence would you look for?

  • A new player is making repeated mistakes that disrupt the game for others, but it’s clear they are not doing it intentionally. How do you approach this situation?

wait until something bad happens to one of them while they are away from eachother, and if they suddenly rush to them then its quite obvious, but its quite hard for that to specifically happen so I might need to force a minor event to happen

check their inventory, if they have a bunch of gamer gear, and its not red alert or something, then bwoink them and ask them why they powergamed. if they don’t have anything on them (including nanites or genes) then its probably a nothing clause. should also check their combat logs to see if they used any items but threw them away

I wont do anything at all, if they haven’t ever sent an mhelp I might send them a message making sure they’re aware of the system, other than that players should be allowed to make mistakes

I’ll be real, I’m really tired of these things where people admit they’ve been lying for years and then expect us to be cool with it and to bring them onto staff. Like, you broke the trust before you even got in. Why should we accept your app? Asking sincerely.

It’s actually worse in this case, since you’ve had a lower staff position the entire time and even though other mentors voluntarily stepped down and left until they were 18…You did not.

If you think this is good reason to close the appeal, feel free
If in a year or two I still play SS13 I would happily apply again

Why I didn’t step down? well I was a child and enjoyed the server, I knew I was breaking the servers rules but I found it a minor rule and mostly one for legal reasons. The servers mature content rulings stayed exactly the same after it and I didn’t really want to get banned from my favourite server.

If I was 17 at the time I would have probably said I was and get banned for a handful of months, but I was 15 and didn’t want to get banned for 3 years

Lying aside, I’m going to reject this application just based on the fundamental misunderstanding of how this all works.
