When did you join Meepcraft? July 2012

Introduction: Hello Meepers, my name is GroovyGrevous and I am a 16 year old who lives in Greece. I’m currently in the second year of high school and even though I don’t really like it, I have been studying more frequently recently. Some of my hobbies and out-of-school activities are: private Math lessons, playing video games, doing sports and (of course) watching anime. Even though I’m lazy, I’m really athletic and for the last 3 years I have been part of a Freestyle Wrestling team, a sport that I really enjoy. Other than sports, I also enjoy reading books (and manga) and listening to music.
I joined MeepCraft in the middle of July 2012, and was instantly taken back by the large player count and all the things to do. I made friends and joined towns, but had to quit for almost a year because of computer issues. After I came back, I joined the town of Premede in Beta, owned then by the Helper teakizz99. He and some other close friends of mine managed to persuade me to apply, which I finally did.
This time I decided to apply again because I had missed helping, and realized that hopefully, if I work hard I can make a positive difference on the server.

Why should you be Helper? -Experience
I have been in MeepCraft for quite a long time and I have seen the progression of the server as time goes by. I have experienced many events such as the reign of CrueltyGaming and the fall of Old Meep, the creation of Gamma and the soft reset, the blacklisting of the server and of course, the recent complete reset.
Additionally, until about a month ago, I was a member of the staff team for more than a year and earned my way up to SuperMod; meaning I have experience that will hopefully prove of some value to the staff team.

-Involvement
Even though my In-Game activity is not that great due to me studying, I am very active on the forums, trying to participate effectively in any interesting discussions going on. During my last run as a staff member, I was able to participate in the many community events we had, as well as the staff meetings the team had that I was able to attend.

-Work Ethic
Despite me being the complete opposite In-real-life (I get distracted easily), as Meepcraft points out my interest I am always concentrated on what I should do at the moment. When it comes to doing something that I am passionate about, I will put all my effort into the task and make sure that the job is done well- and helping others is one of the things I really enjoy.

-Dedication
While I haven’t played on many servers, Meep is the only one that has managed to hook me like that, and especially for that long amount of time. The server is truly amazing and the community is awesome and unique.

-Patient
I can take a lot of slack from players. During my time as staff I always tried to keep a cool head and lighten the mood when needed through my jokes and comments.
I believe that when I am harassed I can easily put up with it, as well as more immature players making, well. immature jokes and such. For example, once, there was a player who constantly kept swearing and ban evading. However, I managed to chat with him and persuaded him to stop.

What are your weaknesses? -Immaturity
Despite me constantly working on this, I believe I still say some immature things sometimes, and tend to joke with friends a lot.
-Discord
Even though I have been working on this for quite a while, talking in English can be proven difficult to me; I get nervous if there are more than a couple of people in the same channel I am.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: In my time as staff I made many friends, both from the community and the staff team, but for reasons I would rather not mention here but I will address if necessary, I decided to resign and take a very small break of semi-activity.
Please post any comments and constructive criticism below, all feedback will be taken into consideration!
If you wish to contact me you can either start a conversation with me here, message me on Discord or add my skype (grevous2004).
Thank you for taking the time to read my application!

 

yas omg +1, you were gr8 yassss

 

Um, no brainer for me! a HUGE +11111111111111111111111

You are kind, helpful, and a overall great person and it would be amazing to see you back!

 

+1

 

-1 watches too much anime, talks about anime all the time, anime anime anime.

Huehue.

+1 You are a great friend and you were a super great super mod as well, hope to see you back on the staff team!
(but you still watch too much anime!)

 

It took like ages for you to finally resign and now you apply again? Even worse, you conceal your biggest weakness - being a weeb?
My heart sunk deeply after seeing this application. I don't think this will work out for us, buddy.

But it sure as hell will for the server, +1.

 

+1, great staff member, an even better staff member. I'd love to see you on the team.

 

+1 I need to learn more Greek pick up lines and I love yoghurt and think you're a great guy because you don't eat the bad stuff you like the real Greek yogurt
Yeah awesome person great for the the team, known you for a while and it's always great fun talking to you.

 

So, Grevous,

I was disappointed when my favorite staff member resigned. You have done a lot for the community. Like watching anime and being AFK with @Kling while I and @AdrianIsEpic did all the work (just kidding )it was a pleasure to work with someone that is very easy to talk to. I am certain that you can be one of my favorite staff again with Kling.

My only concern is your activity in general; now I can't judge this because the server is obviously down, but I'm pretty sure this can get fixed if you watch less Japanese animated cartoon films.

Good luck!
+1

 

I feel that you would be an excellent addition to the staff team, as you have been in the past. You know what you are doing. Although, I can't leave a +1 as you did not put me as a reference. +0.9

 

Grevous

I absolutely adore you, no matter what i did during my mistakes or anything you always supported me 100% and were there to help me improve upon my flaws when i applied for staff and during staff. I am so happy to call you my friend.

During your time as staff I believe you to be one of the best, you were an individual. You could always make someone laugh but be serious when needed. You have a great work ethic as well as devotion, and that my friend, is awesome.
I'm a +1 all the way. thanks for all you do

 

I don't mean to be harsh here but the fact that you resigned a few weeks after becoming supermod shows that you're not going to be much different this time around, especially not as a helper when you can't do nearly as much as you can when you're a supermod. I think you should work on figuring out something that you can really change and do in the server, otherwise, you'll probably just be a grade A helper and mod then nothing more than that. I guess it's up to the staff if they really want that type of person. Personally, I wouldn't accept you unless you had like plans and real, plausible ideas for the server that you can put into action right away. However, judging by past decisions, they'll want you back for being the same as every other helper.

Sorry if that's confusing or whatever but I'm just trying to keep it #real

 

YEAS +1
