Introduction: G'day everyone. My name is Tyson, I am an elite on Meep. I am 15 years old as of a few months ago and live in Adelaide which is a city in the Land Down Under. You can find out I live in Australia by checking my 4 bar ping on the tab list. My hobbies are Tennis, Music, Maths and of course Meepcraft. I enjoy getting outside for a run, socializing and watching this amazing Australian T.V. show offspring (go check it out). I play the French Horn and love the instrument. I happy with where I am in life and wouldn't change anything even with its ups and downs, having friends to talk to, if it's on Meep or irl makes me happy and consider myself lucky to be where I am. (A dry rock with bad internet). If you can't tell I like to keep my positive pants on.

I am currently doing grade 9 at school and I am never one to say no to an opportunity to get involved in sport, music or other activities run by the school. This year I am on the school robotics team, the school tennis team, the school's senior band, boys choir, junior orchestra and a few other smaller things. This is the second year I have been at this school, at the previous school I was also involved in lots of school groups/committees. I was a member of the Student Representative Council as well as the school Grounds Committee. In both of these important decisions were made with help of students like me about the school.

I have been on Meep for almost 4 years, however, I haven't been playing for 4 years straight obviously. Through 2015 I didn't play at all and only re-joined at the start of this year. I have had small breaks here and there to get on top of my school work. I am actively trying to meet new people on TeamSpeak as I appear to have outlasted many friends as recently most have left the server.

At school I perform well getting good grades in all subjects however, it's really important for me to get a good balance between Meep and school which can be hard for me. I don't just play Minecraft I also enjoy all games and I have recently been trying out the game cities skylines and I have really been in enjoying however Minecraft is my first priority. I also have a passion for computers and good quality equipment which is a bit of a downfall as I spend way too much money on peripherals.

Why should you be Helper? I went through 2 years of school having IRL friends as staff members, sometimes I would feel a little bit left out and once I even applied for helper (couldn't find it in the denied section as it was ages ago). After I applied the first time I settled on the fact I wasn't ready for staff yet and my time would come. After waiting for ages I feel the time for me is soon. I am at the peak of my Meepcraft life having more knowledge and skills that I could ever imagine. When I joined this server I was a noob, now I know almost every inch of the game and Meep.

My extensive database allows me to help players with information about the game where other people might not have. I myself accept that I don't know everything or anywhere near close to everything and I am prepared to ask questions about anything I don't know the answer to. I am a self-motivated learner and take my opportunities when I can to participate in Meepcraft events and to help out as much as possible.

During school 3 years ago my good mate and I ran a Minecraft server for the younger student to play on at our and enjoy at school during lunch times. I got a good taste of helping people out and managing issues, stopping them from getting out of control. I learned lots about moderating and controlling situations from this while having a good time.

My experience running the Minecraft server gives me an understanding of what it is like to deal with people good and bad. I get annoyed sometimes at why people don't just follow the rules or why people do stupid things. This experience has taught me how to control myself and how it's important to handle the situation calmly.

I love communicating with people however if you tell me a secret I will take it to the grave. I am good at talking to people on TeamSpeak and I feel I have good communication skills which can help make a person new to TeamSpeak feel more comfortable around me. I can make conversations out of thin air and make the saddest of people have a good laugh.

I am a logical thinker and always try to think of the best possible solution to a problem instead of acting on the first idea that comes to mind. I am good at problem solving and thinking my way out of any problem without having to act harshly so I can find the best outcome for everyone. If I make a mistake, mess up, do something stupid or anything of the sort I am not one to go home and cry about it I will come up and confess and fix the problem. Going with my logical thinking I feel it's illogical to hide something which will inevitably be discovered and you'll be worse off.

I spend the majority of my time playing Meep in the downtime where there can be anywhere from 30 to 8 people online. With my Australian time zone, I can help out when there is one or no staff on the server. Although my Meepcraft hours aren't crazy good it’s not about the time, it's the way you use it. I am confident that I can manage my playtime well and accomplish the roles of Helper and more within the hours I play on the server.

I am one of the most loyal people you will meet. This is partial because I feel bad if I let anyone down and I also like to strive for the best I can achieve. I was in the same clan in Clash of Clans for almost 3 years. Even when the owner of butterland became inactive I kept working hard and kept the town coming along.

What are your weaknesses? Peer Pressuring - sometimes if people are nervous about something I can pressure them a lot, for example, trying to get on TeamSpeak. Recently I realize putting all this pressure on people isn't nice and I need to let them do stuff in their own time.

To forgiving - I accept that if people do something wrong then they deserve to get punished however if anyone says sorry in a ban appeal I will always feel bad to deny the person even if they have been given multiple chances.

Communication - I spend most of my time on the server on Teamspeak as well. This often means I overlook global chat and don't talk as much as I would like. To help fix this I made global chat larger so it takes up lots of my screen and that appears to be helping along with me taking part in more conversations in Global.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know:

I don't know you very well, but I have seen nothing bad from you, only positive. You are also active and in a good time zone.

1 question though. Can you please explain why your alt is a reference?

 

One of the best co-mayors Butterland ever had. Nice, dedicated, loyal, and I have no doubt that you will do an outstanding job as staff. And your Timezone is a big plus too.

+20099

 

+1 I believe you will do well, plus you are on teamspeak when I am so I don't have to talk to mutes and listen to dings 24/7. You can keep me company since Grevous has school and Midnight does not want to speak.

@Pmx728 JadeSpud is Jadey.

 

Sorry I understand the confusion my alternate account has an _ as jadey and I are good friends sorry for not clarifying

 

All good. Good luck

 

+1 you are smart, mature and such a kind person. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you on the staff team, good luckkk

 

I cannot say I know you very well, but I've seen you enough to decide. In the last two weeks or so, I have added Minecraft to my laptop, which has allowed me to be online and actually in-game for several more hours. During that time, I have gotten the opportunity to see another side of the server.

You live in that other side, and what I've seen is nice. You have the understanding or the server, personality, and many other qualities that lead me to believe you will not just stay up to date with the work, but excel at it. Your timezone is a major factor that works in your favor, but it is not the number one thing to consider. I have no issues currently, and do not foresee any. With that, I wish you the best of luck!

 

A hardworking, dedicated and overall great bloke to be around. You are definitely ready to take up a role as staff.
+1

 

+1 because you are dedicated to what you are doing, very helpful, supportive, kind and I think you would make a great staff member.

 

I'm actually really happy to see this because I didn't see this coming but it was most definitely a pleasant surprise.

Tyson, I don't think I've expressed how much I absolutely adore you as a person. Since you've come back, you've always been a happy, cheerful person. I haven't had one bad experience with you, and I don't think I've ever seen you angry before. You make me laugh a lot, even if it doesn't seem that way. I can go to your profile and just look at your funny statuses and laugh. You've also been super active and helpful in global, and overall such a great friend. You're so silly, and honestly I wish I knew you in real life so that I could give you a hug when you make me laugh (sorry I'm weird). You'd make such a nice staff member. Good luck!! +1

 

I've seen you on a couple of times, and you sound like a passionate, ambitious person, which is fit for the position. I also agree that your previous experiences can help you alot.

However, you didn't mention in your weaknesses about your "laziness".
Can you explain this?

As a staff member, you are expected to do anything that is asked, and you might not like it. Are you prepared for that?

I am officially neutral because of your post, but I wish you luck

That post was most likely a joke or really old, since that player hasnt played for ages

 

Just to clear up with everyone that thread was a joke as PMX said as funkyrainbows was an old friend of mine.

 

Tyson

Honestly man you were so nice qnd respectful to me during my time as a staff member and i see that throughout your actions potrayed ont he server through your helpful, cheerful attitude, its a +1 from me

And french horn is the bomb but oboe is still my favorite

 

I am writing this to due to recent events that have currently have been sparked between a few of my best friends, you and one of your friends.

As of recently I have witnessed many insults thrown towards a few friends of mine which is completely unacceptable, you saying these things really upset my friend. I don't know why you would say these things but it really aggravates me that you believe you can run for helper and say these things, if you weren't then it'd be a different story. However the name calling, constant harassment is totally unacceptable, you and your so-called friend have caused many problems, it would have been best if you stayed out of this from the start, but it seems you've been easily fooled and tricked into because of a silly friend you have. If anyone else(within reason, staff, etc.) has questions or needs further information please don't hesitate to ask me. As of this im highly suggesting staff look the other way on this application, goodbye.

I haven't had any positive or negative experiences with you in-game or on the forums yet. But...

This is not giving me a good view on how you'll be helper.

+/- as of now. Will change once I decide on a final vote.

 

I am going to start of by saying this did not occur on the meepcraft server it occurred on a servers teamspeak which a load of ex meepcraft players and staff members play on.

As of recently I have witnessed many insults thrown towards a few friends of mine which is completely unacceptable, you saying these things really upset my friend.
Yes this is 100% true I made 2 hateful nasty comments about a person in retaliation to some hateful comments made by that person towards my friends.

I don't know why you would say these things but it really aggravates me that you believe you can run for helper and say these things, if you weren't then it'd be a different story.
I would never let this affect or come to meep and this was an bigger issue outside the server with both sides saying terrible things that which I know these people would never normally say. In the heat of the moment I had a rare lapse and messed up not thinking before saying these things I am determined to not let it happen again.

If anyone else(within reason, staff, etc.) has questions or needs further information please don't hesitate to ask me.
The staff can also ask me for a second side to the story and I can and will tell you only the truth if you wish to know more about the events that unfolded.

As of this im highly suggesting staff look the other way on this application, goodbye.
Yes I made an everyday mistake which I am sure lots of people have had happen to them and I am determined to not let this happen again.

My resolution to this problem was to apologise to the affected person (this had nothing to do with Zane) and try to make a mends before moving on and respecting that I made a mistake.

Moving into the future I learned a lesson from this and it will help me stop future problems like this occurring as this was a one of occurance.

Sorry this had to bother all who read it.

I completely understand this really does upset the apple cart however I am still the same person as when I posted the app just with a bit more experience in dealing with issues that arise and a little bit saddened at losing 3 good friends in less than 1 week

 

I removed my vote, New post will be edited into this post.

-1

(Reasons will be edited here coming soon)

 

Having seen first hand how this situation was handled by you I am a huge -1. As staff you should really get both sides of a situation or story before coming to a conclusion of any kind.
