Introduction: Hello everyone! My name is Liran, but most of you know me as ShadowLiran, even though Liran is still in there. I am 16 years old and I love the video game world. I do a lot of sports and activities outside as well, but I find a lot of interest in a variety of video games, which is why I spend a lot of my time playing them. Minecraft is definitely my top video game and Meepcraft consumes 98% of my time on it. I love to talk via text all the time, but I am super shy when it comes to talking by voice. I don't know why, but I have huge stage fright even over something like Skype. I always try my best to say what I must, but until I get comfortable with where I am speaking and who I am speaking to, I will barely talk or talk super quietly. I have a very peppy kind of personality, because I love making peoples' days. I don't know if I am considered a nice person, but it is something I always strive to achieve with anyone I'm with. I love the feeling when you turn someone from being sad to being happy or at least cheered up because I know that I made someone's day less depressing than it could have been. I am currently in grade 11, I have a pretty hard semester since I took all 3 sciences in AP even though I don't need any sciences where I want to go. (Waterloo Math/Computer Sciences). I have actually been Helper before, in January of 2014, and was helper for several months if I remember correctly. I want to prove to everyone and to myself that I can do more than that.

Why should you be Helper? I feel like I could become a great helper because I truly do love helping players. As my time as staff before, I learned that I really enjoy handling modreqs. It's just like that feeling I mentioned earlier, about making someone's day a bit better; well, most of the time, modreqs are helping someone getting something off their mind that was bugging them, so I could consider the same concept. Nowadays, more and more questions and concerns have been popping up in shout, at least from what I've seen, and when it's about 1-2 AM where I live, I typically see 1 or 2 and sometimes no staff online. I feel as if I could somewhat help the activity of staff because I am usually online many times throughout the day, and also when there are little staff on. I feel like I have a very vast knowledge of the commands, I usually see questions about plot commands or towny commands which is something I know even better due to managing my own town and brand new nation. I try my best to participate in all the different aspects of MeepCraft, to enhance my knowledge and experience with the different arcade mini-games like Laser and Skyblock, the town worlds, the events going on, and of course, the spawn. I am a huge supporter of any events that bring together the community, so don't be surprised to see me host some in the future if I become staff. I have thought about applying for staff many times in the past, and even many times within the past few weeks, but I was too scared to do it. But then I remembered something. My sister once told me "Anything you are scared to do now, do it anyways, because you will look back in the future and think to yourself 'Why didn't I do that?'." She then explained to me how the worst thing that could possibly happen is essentially a tiny bit of embarrassment that will be forgotten the next day. After thinking about this, I decided to just do what I was scared of and apply.

What are your weaknesses? I would say that my main weakness is my shyness. If you ever see me in a group chat in team speak, I will hardly say anything unless I am directly spoken to. I am trying very hard to work on this, it has always been a problem in my life, just talking to people by voice. I always talk very quietly and am unheard majority of the time. There are, of course, many people that I am very comfortable talking to or around, so that helps this issue a bit.

Another weakness I have is insecurity. I overthink everything that I say or do just because I am extremely terrified of any bad results that may occur. I always think of the worst possible outcome with anything I do. It gets a lot easier when I am talking by text because I type what my mind thinks, but when I talk, I stutter a bit and tend to have trouble finishing my sentence because I think of things like 'Is my word choice bad for this conversation?' or 'Should I say this, would it be worse if I did?', and then I forget what I was really saying, so I spend a lot of time trying to remember it. I am also working on this issue and hopefully I'll be able to articulate my words better so I don't stop mid sentence.

Hopefully, these issues aren't too big of a matter towards the staff position.

Another weakness I have, which is not really a weakness, is my writing skills. From this application, you can probably see that I am not too good at thinking of original things to say, mostly piecing parts of many, many applications. I am not a creative person overall.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: Hopefully you guys took the time to read through my application and hopefully all you readers have made a decision about me, whether good or bad.

Please leave constructive feedback so that I know what needs to be improved.
Thank you!

Yeah, I'll work on that. Only redownloaded the ts app like 2-3 weeks ago. (I am so bad at using it )
Expect to see me a lot more on ts starting now.

 

I remember last time you were staff, I didn't see you at all. You didn't do anything, and soon enough Sjoe demoted you. Since then you have came back and you've improved so much. I have no doubt you'll be nothing but positive for the staff team.
+1

 

+1. Very mature and kind person. Helpful and active as well.

 

Very mature, helpful, active, and a great guy to talk to.

Experienced, staff in the past, knows how to deal with players. +1

 

I'm confused, my negatives are helpful, active, and kind?

 

+1
kind
nice
helpful
heard was good staff in past
Got me ult

 

+1
Nice
Willing to help newer players
From what i've seen you're very responsible

I'm insecure like you...

 

+1 you would be a wonderful asset to the staff team

 

Lowest this response could ever be: +1
People would be silly to give you anything less.

You would be such an amazing asset to the team. You're not willing to help players. You help players when they need it.

You are one of the most dedicated people here. You left for awhile, and then came back. Left for awhile, and you have been back for quite sometime now, which is awesome.

With your weaknesses: those are workable. Just have to put yourself out there and make yourself vulnerable, but in doing so, you make yourself less vulnerable. I'm totally with you there on TS. I'm only on once and awhile, and when I am, I prefer little groups. In big groups, or people I don't know groups, I don't talk. You will also get better at second guessing yourself because it will become more natural again overtime.

My one reservation is that last time you were on the team you went missing for quite sometime, but I know there were a few things going on. That's my only concern, but I don't think it should be an issue now. PS: you were a great staff member back then (and I loved working with you).

Again, +1. You are one of the very few candidates I would LOVE to see as staff. You go!

 

+1. I believe you are more than qualified for the position.

 

+1. You are definitely qualified for the job. Good luck!

 

Hai Shadow
+1 all the way
Reasons are stated above. Mature, active and friendly. Best of luck.
