Introduction: Hello everyone, I am TimtheFireLord and here is a quick introduction to my life in and out of Meep. In my free time I enjoy listening to music, playing on Meep and other games (mostly Meep though), rock climbing, playing with my siblings, reading, and building Legos. I usually play on Meepcraft later at night, which is why some of you on the East coast have only seen me a few times. If you want to catch me online check at around 11:00, which is when I usually log on. I am in 8th grade, and am enrolled in all honors classes and a program through Johns Hopkins University called the Center for Talented Youth, through which I was recently awarded a medal for scoring in the top 5% scorers in the world on the SATs. (If you're in CTY, tell me and we can talk. ) I have ADHD in real life (yes I was officially diagnosed) and I have to be medicated at the daytime to keep me calm. However, when I am on Meepcraft it seems to work as well as the medicine, because if it didn't then I would most likely have been perm-banned a few months ago. I am extremely active on forums, I am on them at least 4 times a day for 30 minute to an hour periods. I was the mayor of the Alpha town NightVale until a glitch removed my plot and my mayor rank (it is being fixed now). I used to barely be on TeamSpeak, but I have now been improving my activity a lot, and am on TS almost every time I play on Meepcraft. I have never been banned or temp-banned in the six months that I have been playing on Meepcraft, and am proud of that. I have made a whole lot of friends over the past half-year, and I honestly have as much of an attachment to some of them that I do to some of my friends I know personally. I tend to think of myself as a very social person, to the point that I almost talk too much sometimes. I have been told that I am funny, but I just speak my mind and it ends up coming out funny. I am also a pretty modest person, so some of this stuff will probably be a bit of an understatement. And now that you know a whole run-on paragraph of information about me, let us progress to the important parts.

Why you should be a Meepcraft staff member: I believe that I am fit for the position of helper on this server for multiple reasons. This section will be in the form of a list with elaborated reasons after the bullets, but you can simply look at the headings if you are tend to skim through applications.

[Community Involvement] - I like to think of myself as very socially active both in real life, and in Meepcraft. Whenever I am logged on, I am either talking in shout and TeamSpeak, or AFK to post on forums. I am active enough that I'm kind of well known in the Meep community, I think. And by participating in shout, I don't mean advertising my town, I mean actually contributing to conversations and starting some of my own.

[Helpfulness] - I know this is kind of a given fact for anyone who is seriously applying for staff but I love helping out. Obviously I do, considering I am applying. But anyhow, I try my best to answer any questions I see presented both in shout, and on forums. However, a lot of the time I message the person their answer if the explanation is longer and will clog up chat.

[Personality] - I have been told that I am nice, and I do try to be as hard as I can, and actually get upset if I offend someone. I am slightly sensitive when it comes to that kind of thing. I think it's honestly better to be a fun person to be around and tries to make normal conversation and make people laugh than to be someone who makes fun of people in shout and is well-known for that instead of their trustworthiness or kindness.

[Helpfulness Part Two: Personal Issues] - While I do love helping people enjoy their time on the server, I honestly get the most satisfaction when I help someone out with issues in their social or personal life. It literally brings a smile to my face knowing I have improved their lives. If you had read my previous staff application you would have seen the story about FlameViper, which literally changed my life view. But I have also helped @Killer2themx out when he felt betrayed by the rest of his friends, and needed a new one. I tpa'ed to him and we became good friends fast, and spent the next hour running around his town and trying to build a super-secret waterfall spy door.

[Staff Experience] - I am friends with a good handful of staff members so I know what it is like to have to stop what you are doing at a moments notice to take care of a modreq, and I am ready for that responsibility. I am also the mayor of the alpha metropolis, NightVale. In my opinion it takes dedication to have your money sucked out day by day out of a loyalty to the community you made and a sense of being a role model and home-giver to those that live there. I only have about 220k in the town bank and my personal balance is approximately 4k, which makes it hard at times but the town staff and I all find a way to keep it going.

[Activity] - I am very active on Meep, so active in fact that I once stayed up all night on a Tuesday school night playing Meep, and I still made the bus the next morning. You can even look in Xxnine_tailsxX Signature that I need to go to bed.

[Availability of Proof} - I record absolutely every time I play on Meepcraft so I am able to provide video evidence of any kick or ban that I make. I am also working on setting up a YouTube channel so that I can post these, because a select few are quite amusing.

[Free Time] - I am usually just running around towny or playing a minigame when I am in-game, so I have plenty of time to do modreqs.

Weaknesses:Here is a list of all the negative traits that I possess which may possibly hinder my ability to be an efficient and respectable staff member. Now keep in mind that these are simply the weaknesses that I am aware of, so feel free to include more that you have noticed in the comments section if you feel that I missed one.

[Personality] - I can be immature at times, but not in the sense that I am making offensive jokes or "trolling", just that I sometimes spell words wrong on purpose if I want to convey the sense that I am using a certain voice or I want to sound silly. I also can have an overbearing sense of humor and I like to make people laugh, which could be a negative.

[Typing Skills] - I tend to misspell words when I am typing rapidly, and still use what is known as the "pecking" typing method, which could hinder my ability to type commands in a rush, such as kicks.

[Sleep] - Due to staying up late constantly for Meep, maybe once a week I take a night off because too much Meep can be a bad thing. This puts a small dent in my activity, but hopefully it is not a concern, because my health is important. xD


Conclusion: Alas, thus ends Timmeh's Meep-staff application. Please feel free to comment on your opinion as to whether or not I am suited to serve the server (See what I did there? *wink wink*) Put a -1 if you believe I am not fit, a +/- if you believe I have potential, but am not ready for now, and a +1 if you think I should be a part of the team. Thank you very much for reading this application, and I am immensely looking forward to hearing your feedback.

 

Accepted for interview!

 

Super app, and a super person. +1

 

Tim-

How do I put this?

Okay, well, let's just go about a paragraph and see if I can get my point across.
(I'm not good at short, sweet, and to the point.)

You seem like a very respectful player, and quite honestly, I have never seen anything from you that makes me think you don't have the right personality for this. I see you frequently in shout, often helping out, as well as just generally being friendly. Friendliness is more heavily weighed than helping out as often times people /msg whomever they are helping. Your forums activity is incredible. I'm constantly on the forums, and I see you quite a bit. Your application is one of the longest ones that I have seen lately, and sometimes it is troublesome to be a long application, and sometimes, it is a blessing. In your case, it is a blessing. This was a huge step up from the last application you submitted. Your TeamSpeak activity has greatly improved, and that is amazing!

There was a recent event that did make me question what was really going on and your true maturity level. I must say, you handled it quite well, and you did not let it go the entire public and let it spread like a wild fire. You handled it better than many people your age, and that shows real maturity, confidence, and true understanding. You felt it was better to step back, take a deep breath, and take a break. It was great to see you take this into action instead of blowing up. The only thing I am concerned about is if you are handling a case and need to take the same course of action. However, that is a question that can wait until an interview.

When someone can point out their own flaws, and explain how they are trying to improve upon it, it really shows me that you do care enough about yourself and the community. Everyone has flaws, but it takes real courage to point them out in one's self.

If I think of anything else, I will just edit it in.

Anyways, I am a full plus one. No second thoughts about going the other direction at all. I can completely tell you took the comments from your last application and put them into action, and that is an incredible feat to accomplish. So, congratulations on that!

Good luck with your application, and I look forward to seeing you in an interview!

 

+1. Helpful, nice, generous, caring, awesome, not telinus. I see no reason why you shouldn't be helper.

 

+1 you are the nicest person I have met and you just want good for the community. I have never had a less than fun and great time with you.

 

Why isn't this accepted yet? +1 All the reasons above

 

+1 I have seen nothing but good things from you!
