Introduction: Hello there! My name is Jonathan, aka, DarkKnight49x, or DK49, or Dark, which ever you prefer. At the moment, I’m 17 years old, only 3 more months until I turn 18 (that special age everyone is waiting for. I’m a senior right now in my high school, taking IB Higher level courses. I’ve already made my college applications, which I’m hoping that I get accepted into my dream school. Although Psychology is the career I am to major in, I also love art. I love to draw, as seen as my profile avatar. I’ve been drawing since 7th grade and have improved over the years, after looking at pictures and copying them for some time. I love creating my own dreams and imaginations into a piece of paper, whether in description or in a drawing. I’m mainly a quiet, shy guy if you’d meet me in life. This might seem a bit silly since of how I talk at times in chat and play around. I have improved a bit socially which has been a major help, not only to myself, but to others, since everyone needs someone to talk to through desperate times. If you get to know me, you’ll understand who I truly am, an awkward, yet lighthearted person. I’m also considered a native Spanish speaker, which benefits others and myself when I try to get my point across to those who speak Spanish in Florida.

Why should you be Helper? One of the main questions of this app: why should I become helper? Well, there are a couple of reasons. These are the reasons stated in my last app, but I have improved on them.
• Experience: Being almost a year and a half on MeepCraft, I have learned much more about commands, even memorizing some. And, although being somewhat of a staff member on a different server, I have learned some commands Prism has itself. Whenever a new Meeper, or even a well known Meeper asks a question, I try to answer based on my knowledge of the server. I can certainly say that I myself have been under the same conditions people have when they don’t know the answer to a question, and over time, I’ve learned more about Meep. Sometimes, people don’t see when I answer someone’s question, due to others answering them before me and I can post what I say due to someone already saying it. However, when someone asks a question in normal chat, or in separate worlds, or even in the towns I am in, I calmly answer their questions. Plus, being a town staff member for the towns I am in have contributed a good amount to my knowledge of MeepCraft. I still continue to learn more about Meep itself and hope it will contribute to my efforts in helping others.
• Work Ethics: Due to having worked as a librarian as well as worked with my father in his work, I have learned several points. I have to be responsible, take in responsibility for my work and get the job done correctly. If I can’t get it done on time, I seek assistance, or continue striving for completion. I’ve also learned that others should always be respected and helped, no matter what, even if you have a grudge against them. I care about everyone, and if anyone needs help, I’d gladly lend my hand to them and pull them up from the depths of the ocean.
• Dedication: Since the day I’ve joined MeepCraft, I’ve been as active as I have can. If I couldn’t log on, there were reasons, such as personal reasons, school, family, etc. I love Meep and its community. Every time I log in, I try to keep a “happy face” on, even at my hard times. I continue to support Meep and the decisions that either are ongoing or upcoming. I won’t stop believing in Meep and its community.
• Involvement: Involvement hasn’t been that much of a problem for me. I try to talk in chat and have fun at times. When a serious topic comes up, I either try to stop it, or notify a staff member as quickly as I can. Sometimes, even I try to calm the person down to stop what he/she does. I try to be as kind as possibly in Meep, not just only in the server itself, but as well in Teamspeak and Forums. I try to be as active as possible In TS and help anyone who comes on if they require assistance. I’ve gotten use to TS and have been active lately, enjoying time with others. Although I don’t participate much on forums, I look around at interesting topics or important threads, in which I mainly participate.
• Performance: Well, as I said before in my original application, I’m not perfect. I do have my imperfections with what I do, how I do it, and overall, its outcome and how my actions are accepted by other. Yet, everyone isn’t perfect in what they do. We have our own problems, in which we aim to correct or even go beyond what we choose to do. I will admit, I have had problems, yet I’ve tried to keep my performance at its best height. No matter what, I will continue to perform at my best as much as possible, and continue performing better and better over time.

What are your weaknesses? Weakness? People would sometimes say they don’t have weakness’, but in all due honesty, I do.
• Procrastination: One of my worst enemies. Although I have improved on this weakness, I at times continue to procrastinate, in school and on MeepCraft. Yet normally, I try to get the work done quickly before its due. Meep, however, would be different. I would try to put Meep first on my to-do list yet I know I will procrastinate at times. But this can improve.
• Maturity: This I have improved on. Yet, at times, I participate on some little things that would be considered immature, such as sexual references. Yet I can improve quickly over time, as if I had two faces. Which leads into personality.
• Personality: This one is a tough one. In real life, I’m an introvert person, not talking to many people, only making conversations with my friends. Yet when on Meep, I change quickly, from a mature, quiet, caring person, to a immature, derpy, social Meeper. Although I do take some maturity from my real life self and apply it to Meep, yet at times, I continue to be immature. I can change personalities when topics get serious, which is fairly simple but at times, I just stay socially active.
• Emotional: I’ve had to state this weakness once again. I have changed a bit on this, due to leaving one of my best friends behind as well the certain dreams that I know will not come true, I continue to get emotional at times, When remembering about a certain event, or getting yelled at, my mood completely changes. I’m usually am able to control myself quickly and am pretty sure that this wouldn’t occur on Meep but who knows. I sometimes can hide it, yet that just hurts me a bit more, especially when I act happy all the times.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I believe that is all really. I understand that being helper on this lovely server is a huge responsibility, and I can’t ignore this position, just like my job, just like my schoolwork. You yourself will decide whether I get am prepared to be a part of the team or not. You can put all your trust in me and know that I will provide as much assistance as I can give, until the ends of time. Even if I don’t get accepted, I’ll continue doing such good deeds and reach for a much better performance. If you have any concerning question, please do not hesitate to ask. I will gladly respond to you. Thank you very much for taking your time to read this. I truly do appreciate it.

Hello, Dark, so I think you would be a great staff member, you've definitely improved on your maturity but I do think it could be worked on (although mine does as well Lol). you wrote a great application. You seem to talk a lot in global, your on ts, but I don't see you much on forums. Overall +1 good luck -kirby99

 

So DarkKnight,
I wasn't expecting this application, but here we are. So, to start, the application. It was very nice. The introduction was solid, helped me get to know you better, and just helped me understand where you were coming from on the why. So, next, the why. I also found it to be very solid. It contained various reasons as to why you should be helper, and contained an abundance of details to back them up. The weaknesses mostly don't seem to be much of a problem, as your personality and being emotional seem to all tie in to one category, immaturity. I do personally believe that immaturity is your biggest issue, but due to the fact that it's dissipating at such a fast rate, I'll trust that it won't take long for it to become less and less of a problem very quickly. Next, procrastination is a problem. I'm sure I and many others will be there to help you with it, and I'm sure that it will also dissipate very quickly if focused on. So in-game, I generally see you being helpful and kind in global, yet immature sometimes(we covered that already). You're very active in game and on TeamSpeak. Forums could use some work, but as long as you are watching what's going on, I don't see it as too much of a problem. You have also spoken to me about possibly leaving this month, but I do believe that was quite a bit ago, and I don't think it a problem at this point. In conclusion, you do have some things to work on, but who doesn't? You're helpful, kind, active, and dedicated. I don't see why not you could benefit this team. I lean towards a +1. Good luck.

 

Hello Dark,

Even though I don't know you that much, I believe that you can potentially be a great staff member, based on your application. It seems that you know what you are getting ready for, and I agree that you have well prepared yourself for it

However, I do hope that you will be more reaching out to everyone, even citizens like me

Según mis amigos, Ud. es un jugador muy símpatico, y tendrá mi soporte por este trabajo.

 

I think you can do a good job as helper and most of your application was solid.

Nice app
I don't remember anything bad about you, only positive

This is no lie, every time I would get on, he'd be on.

^ Another thing I liked is how you actually gave weaknesses that can be applied to a staff member, not just saying "well...... im random xd i might get along TOO well with players!" or the classic "i dont really have a weakness"

 

Thanks guys, I'm flushed by what you guys have said. Will take in consideration of what you guys have said, especially from Mega and Kirby. ^-^

No se preocupe amigo mío. I always care about others, no matter the rank. XD Always will be reaching out to everyone.

 

+1.

I cant write much now, but you're kind, helpful, and care for meep.
I've spent countless hours in team speak with you, and know you possess key traits of currently successful staff.

Good Luck


EDIT: My phone doesn't understand English grammar...

 

Thanks Marsh. Really appreciate it!

 

I agreed to be a reference because I know that you'd be a good helper! But one thing put me off a little bit dark, as of recently

The other night when I was speaking with you in a channel for some reason you got upset and started saying things like i have college coming up soon and I don't think I have time, or even stuff like I'm probably just going to quit, I don't know if you actually meant it, and I really think you were just upset, I get it, it happens and you were nervous about your app, and that shows to me that you truly want the job, however I don't know what I should do, I really think you'd be good but these comments really made me uncomfortable that you'd just be willing to quit

Just my 2 cents.

However, all this aside I believe you are a very suitable candidate so my vote is a +1, Have a good day and good luck! And don't say anything else like this !! I think you'll be great

 

Understandable Dawn. I know I said I would, but thats when I go off to college. I'll still be on and helping. ^.^ Don't you worry! Thank you for your comment!

 

Great friend, positive, very helpful, and just over all a great person +1 for you!
