Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from Landonator419

ima copy/paste my response to your last application here

1) Your incident with Pmx728 shows that you wouldn't be an effective staff member for multiple reasons:
a) You called attention to the wrong details within the video; where there was nothing you called hacks, and vice versa
b) Instead of working toward a mutually beneficial solution to the problem, you made multiple statements (with
nothing backing them up, may I add) that seemed to show that you were extremely anxious to vindicate your report
c) Your interactions with other players, including staff, have been almost entirely negative. In dealing with you, I, along
with many other staff members, found you to be dishonest and impatient, and this is a sentiment echoed within the
general playerbase.

2) I'm still not convinced that you don't hack.

3) Your brash, arrogant demeanor would clash with many personalities within the staff team, and would be counterproductive in dealing with tricky situations. A huge part of being a helper is the ability to listen to both sides of a story, and then making an objective judgement that is fair, and if possible benefits all the parties involved. For example, if someone lost 100k due to a misunderstanding, you might be able to ban someone for 7 days right away, with the refund coming 2 months later, and a full wipe for the perpetrator, or you could simply ask the guy to give the 100k back and settle the dispute right then and right there. I'm not convinced that you would be able to make these decisions that would benefit the server.

4) You have a track record of embarking on projects that have a tangible benefit to you. For example, you built your mega-netherwart farm under the guise of helping players earn free money. However, you made rules that prohibited the use of outside netherwart, forcing players to buy netherwart off you. Additionally, the purse of the farm was really to collect the money received from breaking netherwart. Another example, though not necessarily a project, is with bass_flow's town. You took out a total of about 1 mil from her town as a co-mayor, knowing full well that staff cannot ban for comayors withdrawing town funds. When staff confronted you about this behavior, you simply replied that you would pay it back later, as it was a loan (to my knowledge, you haven't). Does your quest for obtaining a staff position contain hidden motives?

Finally, I see a few red flags with this quote.

Firstly, while you did ask if he wanted help or anything, you never admitted that you were actually wrong. In the ban report, you called attention to wrong times in the video, with the wrong evidence. Additionally, if you make a mistake and apologize, you shouldn't say "I apologized! Look, here's proof!" This sentence connotes that your apology lacks sincerity and was merely a formality.

Secondly, what exactly does "Good try " mean in this context? Do you mean: "Good try, you tried to get my app denied, but I refuted your evidence with one declarative statement?" No, these concerns are very legitimate, as this kind of language (and frankly, these kind of beliefs) aren't tolerated within the staff team. Instead of saying "I have changed," prove to us that you have changed. Don't sit there and say it, act it out (and by act it out, I mean something that doesn't scream of desperation, like your refunds). Your attitude in this quote makes it quite clear that no, you have not really changed.

In short, you're frustrating, unpleasant, cocky, kind (hah! no), young (13 is a bit early), obnoxious, and ulterior.

Nah man. -1

You strike me as an eccentric person, who usually cares only about himself and how he can profit from things.

What I see from you in-game are just fights in Terrarium - whether the literal ones or just arguing with someone.

The position for you probably means nothing more but just a little bit more power, I see no sincere will to help.

This is bad:

With your personality, that's more of a weakness.

I mean sure... keep trying, I couldn't care less, but I don't feel I'll ever be comfortable with you being staff.

 

Hello Landonator, What I've seen from this application is that, I just don't see any effort on it. I rarely see you in game and between those times, you don't even assist players even in chat only. Though I'm not pretty sure about that since our timezones are upside down. But from what I've seen at you in game, your attitude is only 'I want to benefit this to myself only, no one else'. From previous experiences, I've decided to leave a -1 here.

I hope you don't take it personal, if they can give you a chance for an interview, go for it.
Don't let anyone make you feel down.

 

posting something like this doesnt even help your position. It just makes you look worse and gives us something to laugh about.

Does it really matter how many application you are going to write? There isn't a mercy position.... anyone can write an application every two weeks or whatever. The staff really needs good PR right now and you would do nothing to help achieve that goal buddy. There is a reason you are not being given an interview. And apparently you are unable to realize what that thing is. You are nothing more than just another 13 year old minecraft player to me that just doesn't seem fit in a position where they represent the entire server.

maybe try to actually improve your attitude instead of just dumping a load in the application folder every 2 weeks

 

Maybe you should consider working on your weaknesses, all these applications only show us that you didn't improve on the things you should improve on.

 

You put little effort into this application and you have not improved whatsoever.

You actually have to make an effort to get the position. Learn that.
