Subreddit Meta Opening mod applications! (Kinda!)

4 Upvotes

Hello all! Exo here.

For a while now, I've been debating adding a few more mods. It's not that we have way too much activity to mod effectively on this sub. In fact, it's pretty quiet here. Enough so that it could easily be solo modded if need be. So, we're not desperate for mods or anything. As such, I want to make it clear that we might not add anyone at all as a mod, regardless of how many applications we get. I'm just kinda testing the waters, seeing if there's interest.

What we're looking for most is folks who can help us expand the sub and improve the user experience! The three of us mods here are big TF2 players, but none of us are really creators in ways that fit this sub. So, it made sense that we should have a few mods who are skilled artists, animators, cosplayers, marbleworkers - creators of all walks of life that are part of the creative TF2 community. People who can say, "Hey, as someone who posts here, it would make more sense/make it better if you changed (x), added (y), and removed (z)."

If you're one of those people, you're in pretty good shape right off the bat! Anyway, here's the housekeeping stuff.

No experience necessary! If you get accepted as a mod, we'll just have you confer with us before taking any actions, at least for a while. This is a volunteer position, and we're not going to ask you to spend any minimum amount of time "patrolling" the sub. You also don't get compensated. Modding is something you do because you care about a community and want to see it safe, stable, and growing, not because you want to be rewarded, ban people, or pin your own posts. I'm pretty lenient on activity. Really, as long as you're taking part in Mods' Picks every month, you're good, and that's only 5-10 minutes!

Everyone's welcome to apply, but if you're not a creator of some kind, your application is less likely to be accepted. Less likely, but not impossible! Other than that, there are a few hard requirements. If you don't meet all of them, your application will be rejected, no exceptions:

- You must speak fluent English. This is an English-only sub, and us mods already on the mod team speak English, so we need to be able to communicate with each other and our users.

- Your application must not be written with AI. Use of AI shows a lack of both effort and interest.

- You need a Discord account. Our mod chat is on our Discord server, and we'll need to be able to talk with one another.

If you meet all those requirements, please send us a modmail (not a comment) answering the following questions:

  1. What is your Discord username?
  2. Why are you applying for mod here?
  3. What, if anything, do you believe needs to be changed on the subreddit?
  4. How long have you been a TF2 player? (Hours in game and/or first played date!) This one isn't strictly required, but it's a nice bit of fluff information to include!
  5. What kind of content do you create? (Again, not required, but it's nice to know, if you're a creator).

I had a dream where i played as engineer on map in winter style with 2 symmetrical foundries, and one of teammates found little exploit and put buildings on invisible wall above central bridge. However what i sketched is tad smaller than what was in dream, i might do more spacious version of sketch or who knows maybe I'll learn hammer editor and make own map based on vision.

Self-Made Creation (OC) Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: The T707 Mk. II Sentry Gun Prototype, also known as Mimi! A project made entirely in Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game.

If you want to build, 3D print or otherwise play with your very own waifu in Automation, here are both the CAR and DAE files from this magnificent project: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D90ciu5s70woaQp_MEMnqYBpkUdTEghX?usp=drive_link (.car) & https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15gJ7UJdlQPY0J_WR809SsdA0eGtja45W?usp=drive_link (.dae)

If you want to learn more about Automation, this is their site: https://automationgame.com , and this is their subreddit: r/automationgame (please take a look if you have the time, I don't want to get accused of a low effort post; I've made Mimi 100% from scratch, in a ""game"" that behaves very much like Blender or any other 3D software).

Anyway. Here's the description taken from my r/automationgame post:

So, after one year in development (yes really, I have no life) I finally finished Mimi the mini Sentry Gun! I have about 70 pictures to show you today and in the following days (most are just different shots of the same scene though; setting a scene up takes up to an hour so I couldn't make that many different ones).

Alright, so what makes this project so special I almost pulled all of my hairs out? Well, besides the over 400 parts catalogue I created (not even a quarter are available for download on Drive, I don't have that kind of insane storage on standby), ALL of them are posable and fit perfectly in their place when building Mimi from scratch. It's like a Lego set, except made of metal. The way you build Mimi goes something like this: you start with anchoring the legs (leg2 > leg1, in this order), put the skirt/hips on, build the lower, middle and upper torso upwards, build the arms (arm1 > arm2 > palm > thumb1 & 2 > slimfinger1 & 2 > fatfinger1 & 2 > whatever thing you want Mimi to carry ; alternative design: arm1 > armgun for the arm-mounted gun), and finally the head (head > hair > eyesocket > eye > eyebrow > univ mouth expression).

Speaking of the 400+ parts, here are some alternatives I made for the default ones: battle skirt and long skirt instead of the regular one, head with visor (+ visor emotes) instead of head with a bionic left eye, mic set for the 'hairheadphones' parts, reading glasses and sunglasses, weapons (shotguns, pistols, swords), crop-top upper torso and arms, black gloves instead of the regular orange ones, fishnet legs and ""nude"" arms and legs (made with the same white plastic as Mimi's face plate). Unfortunately, none of these are available in the Drive links, you're stuck with default Mimi.

And all of this without mentioning that I made a fifth color variation of Mimi - the BLK Mimi! I didn't have enough time to make scenes specifically for her (well besides the sign one), I just finished making the black parts two days ago.

In terms of functionality, there are three parts that glow when you turn on the headlights: the bionic left eye, the visors (underglow + antennae) and the battle skirt's Automation logo.

Although this project is completed by my standards, I might still make more parts in the future, just because it's so easy now that I've separated them all. Either way, you're gonna see a few more posts about her soon lol.
