Describe your roleplay experience.
I starting roleplaying, or at least, in theory, with San Andreas Multiplayer Mod, which boasted a large number of roleplay servers, back in 2013. The server I was on was a "low RP" level server, which honestly, had a lot of toxicity and people who flat out didn't roleplay, leading to a lot of OOC conflict with many people who were on the server just to shoot and KOS people, with, people spamming robbery hotkeys in order to get an excuse to murder people. So, it wasn't a very good place to be. I left in mid 2015, once I got tried of the crap people pulled on the server.
So, eventually, I got into offline roleplay, and was with my community college's table top roleplaying group from 2017 to late 2018. I unfortunately, couldn't make games anymore due to be transferring to a four year school, where, I tried to connect with the local gaming community here, but a lot of the games I participated in fell through for one reason or another, unfortunetly.
So, I eventually created an account New Dawn RP in late... 2018 I think (Mid-2018, just checked the account creation date.) however, I didn't join in, unfortunately, due to my social anxiety. I eventually pressed, checking the site every now and again, debating if I should create a character or not until I eventually just decided to take a leap of faith and do it when I learned that What We Become was starting in March 2019. I've been here ever since.
Have you ever been involved in roleplay leadership and/or creating a lore?
As I said in my previous application, I did DM a game of Vampire: The Masquerade a year or so ago for my college group. I will say that I learned many lessons from that experience. Most importantly, that, DMing in general, should be more about the players fun, then the DMs fun, and that you shouldn't say no or tell the player that they cannot do something if they can feasibly do it. Sure, at the end of the day, there may be consequences to their actions, but you shouldn't second guess or tell the player no.
While, my explanation of lessons learned from this has been somewhat, I guess all over the place which, may have contributed to my denial. I guess I will just say this. Player freedom of choice is a good thing until it starts causing issues with other players or the server.
Have you ever been an admin on an online game? if so, for what groups and for how long?
As stated in my previous application, I haven't really help an admin position before in an online game, though, I have preformed moderation on both reddit and discord.
Do you have any skills that could help the team?
I feel that my experience with the mapping tools, though limited, could be an asset to the team, in general, for creating custom maps, though, unfortunately, as I understand it, other maps, mostly Astoria were unfinished, I do hope that, in the gap between lores, I could possibly create an addition to the vanilla map or an entirely new map if needed.
What do you think you may need to improve upon in terms of being an admin?
Again, I'm going to say the same as my previous application. I get massively self critical.
I've also, in past incidents, gotten mad a bit OOCly over something that happened ICly, or at the very least, get upset. For examples, and interaction between my self and Miles' player over not letting us leave the Mall. I took it a bit to far, and, I did apologize once I calmed down, but, that incident should've happened in the first place.
Other than that ,y writing and roleplay can come off as... lacking, in a certain word. I feel that in many situations, that my ability to Roleplay comes off as...lacking, but that might be the voice in my head getting on my case.
And finally, I am rather outspoken by my opinions, which sometimes leads me to butt heads with people if I disagree with them. As I said, that might be a strength, it might be a detriment, but I guess it depends on the situation.
If you had to suggest a change to the way things are done on Gateway, what would it be?
So, once again, I do feel like there needs to be an admin to cover the late night PST range without making the many EST admins stay up late, which, is honestly, rather unfair for to them if they need to be on at 1am (which is 10pm PST) just to cater to the PST players.
Anyways, I'll finish this off with an apology for applying again so soon, but, Pika did say the other day that Applications were open, so I might as well go for it. Hey, persistence is an asset.
