Introduction: Many of the people on Meepcraft know me as Jalapenos, but my name in the real world is Geoffrey. Ever since I was a small child, music has fascinated me. The way the notes flow in such a perfect procession, one after another creating a song that sounds unique to all others just seems mystical to me. This of course drove me to delve into the arts myself. At 8 years old I picked up a guitar for the first time and ever since then I’ve been playing. On top of my passion for music, I’ve also developed quite an ‘addiction’ to video games. A video game in particular, being Minecraft. I started to play this game about four years ago, and for the first year I was completely foreign to multiplayer. When my friend introduced to me this new ‘multiplayer’ aspect of the game, I was ecstatic. Never did I think I would be able to collaborate with so many others across the world doing something I enjoy so early in my life. Nevertheless, I came across many different servers in the next two or so years, but none I really stuck with. But I then came across Meeprcraft. Meepcraft was a server that I fit into and one that I stuck with me over a year now, because it accepts everyone who is nice. The fact that Meepcraft is so welcoming to kind people is the reason why its community is so kind on the whole. The Meepcraft community brought an aspect to Minecraft that I thought I’d never see, and it most definitely made the game more enjoyable.

Why should you be Helper? I feel that I would be well suited for the helper position due to my affection for the Meepcraft community. Ever since I first joined Meepcraft I fit right into the community because I always felt that if I needed something someone would be there. Whether I was confused with a few commands or needed a friend to play some HG with, someone would come. Over my year of playing with the community I have developed a keen understanding on how to healthily interact with players. I’ve always found it quite easy to calm down someone experiencing anger while still moderating the emotion I feel myself. This helps me turn situations that could have gone terribly wrong, up with a positive outcome.

I’ve also developed strong problem solving skills thanks to programs in my school. I enrolled in both the Model UN program and Debate team which require one to analyze and resolve situations based on their factors. Model UN required my team and I to brainstorm a way to provide food for impoverished countries in Africa while not conflicting with the beliefs of other countries. This was very difficult but eventually we came to a sound compromise. As for debate, my team and I had to convince a third party as to why our side was right. This taught me how to be very persuasive in situation while still maintaining a professional tone, which can be very useful when dealing with arguments between players.

What are your weaknesses? A weakness that has always haunted me have been my insecurities. A lot of times when I talk to people I feel as if I’m being judged harshly even though I know that I’m not. In the recent past I’ve been working on this and I have made a large amount of progress. I’ve become better at talking to people and more comfortable with it as well.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I used to own a server which had a 30-50 player constant. My experiences with the players on there will benefit me as a helper on Meepcraft, in my opinion.

 

Why aren't I a reference?? Definitely +1, you are hard working and mature.

 

-1 steals money from me from dicing

jk

+1
When you were Aim_PwnAGE you helped me sooo much with my town, took down stuff, built stuff, asked if I needed help everyday. You have been a great help to me when I was the mayor, and I couldn't have asked for a better assistant.

btw, i didn't know you were Aim_PwnAGE until now.

 

+1
Friendly
Mature
Active everywhere
Good person
App was good
Good luck!

 

I was in TS talking to Jess_4D and you came in.
You immediately wanted to talk about how I -1'd her app, getting extremely defensive, sassy, rude.
Every single time I said something, you interrupted me and started to bash on my points.
You cannot take criticism, you bashed on me for my opinion on another player, you cannot go as staff with this attitude. it's ridiculous.
Huuuuge -1.

 

you shouldn't have been denied in the first place ;-;
but you're amazing
+1

 

Absolute +1 without a doubt. Friendly, mature, and knowledgeable.

 

Jalapenos, or should I say Geoffrey you are an incredibly amazing person whose is nice, smart, loving, and just helpful all in all. I have been talking to you recently and you have potential to be staff. I think you would handle this position well. Good luck Jalapenos, and don't listen to the haters (only listen for constructive criticism.)
+1 all the way.

 

Jalapenos, you were very nice when I was chatting with you in the days before my IT dept. went south and you have been nice and very kind ingame. I have seen you treat others with respect and I would just like to say +1.

You and I both.

 

I think you've improved since your last app and I definitely want another interview. I think you need to work on how hasty you are. You appear to speak before you think sometimes. That's about my only criticism. +1

 

Friendly, helpful, mature enough, knowledgeable, active, good app.

+1

 

+1 nice helpful and cool.

 

+1
Your app was well done, and I've spoken with you on ts before and you're a cool cat
I think you're totally capable of being a Helper. Best of Luck!
-Adot

 

Huge +1, Friendly, Mature, Cool, and overall a very caring person. I'd give you a +20 if I could.

 

I'd give this application a +1 for multiple reasons. To start off, you are very active in game and on team speak, basically always on team speak. For the forums, I wouldn't say it's an issue because it's harder and harder to find things to post about throughout. As well, you definitely show that you can be a leader of sorts, owning Arcadia, one of the biggest nations in MeepCraft, something that cannot go unnoticed. You are very helpful with many things, and you try to engage yourself in many conversations and topics. As for previous applications, I cannot really say anything about them since I wasn't technically here for that time. Overall, I definitely think you deserve to become a staff member, especially because you can be very fun when you don't have to be strict.

 

Accepted for interview.
