Introduction: For those of you who don't know me, My name is Josh, a 29 year old restaurant manager who has a lot of spare time and no family. Ive been playing on this server since before we knew the name CG, I play no other servers, I am wholly devoted to meepcraft, I am knowledgeable in almost every aspect of the server and would require next to no training, my 3 year ban history is immaculate except for a friendly ban from fuzzlr for spamming /s while i was previously staff. Long story short, I'm just plain tired of "playing" the eco, I have a town thats fantastic and complete enough that I do not need to devote much time to sustaining it. I'm left with the feeling of emptiness, I see faults/gaps in staff and in leadership, I know I can be an asset to the team again and I am confident that I have more to offer this server than what I am currently providing.

Why should you be Helper? I kind of answered "why I want to be helper" above; But, It's hard to quantify or simply state why "I should" without sounding arrogant or as if I know what the staff team needs. Given current staff shortages due to the ever repeating cycle of inactivity/demote/reapply/quit/return I suppose all thats "required" would be honesty, loyalty, availability, as well as good work ethic and the desire to do the job for free(volunteer). And if an applicant met those criteria, he or she "should be staff", but I am speculating...

I can offer bullet points to some of my shining qualities that suggest that I am more qualified than some of my peers however:
-3 Years of activity in at least 75% of the year.
-My age allows me to be more controlled in my actions and decision making, not to mention I can relate to a different subset of players on this server more easily, (The adults with money)
-My record in terms of whether or not I have been a positive or toxic member of this server speaks for itself.
-There are more than 50 people out there with ranks that were never charged back, there has never been an instance of me mistreating my town residents or failing to adhere to the rules laid forth by prior staff.
-I was staff when there was a much higher workload for helpers/mods so I can tolerate the stress of a busy day.
-For the reason mentioned above, I am well versed on the internal structure of staff and its processes as well as the server and it's plugins.
-My knowledge of the subtree commands for towny is top level, I live to foster new citizens into future leaders.
-My professional courtesy towards potential and current customers(players) is outstanding, if you pry into my replies in ban appeals and whatnot from around a year ago you will see the time and attention I put into the words I post/say while I represent staff. (not going to lie, I am human, I have made rage posts that would be unprofessional if they had been sent while I was representative of meepcraft staff, but I am not going to go back and delete them for the sake of image.)
-Reliability is above par, I have no responsibilities outside of a job, will respond timely to texts, forum messages, and skype.
-My active time is during the dead east and late west coast, I get to witness Europe wake up, as well as play during the AUS/NZ peak. Not a lot of east cost staff can cover those timezones.
-Long time forum user/lurker who is generally well received, can devote plenty of time even off location to handle web related incidents.

What are your weaknesses? Sugar cookies, bacon, Mtn. Dew.
Ok seriously;
-Active time contradicts most other staff members, I will be less visible than the normal staff member in /shout due to this.
-Due to my age I find it difficult to relax in teamspeak, I certainly have 0 issues using this interface for staff related things, or to specifically work with a single player, but I do not "hang out" in TS. It is also once again partly due to the timezone and when I am awake, I live in a condo with roommates and lmao at 4am doesn't go over too well.
-I also have less than average desire to milk my "staff title" in game, I am applying for a job where I help new citizens, weed out the bad players and offer support to any other staff member who requests, I am NOT here to become famous in /shout, some of you current staff may be +/- on this.
-I quit once from staff with no notice, also became inactive on the server for about 7 months after that...
To say on that; I deluded myself into thinking my purpose on staff was to change the server to what I believed to be the best, which is decidely different that what IS the best. When fellow staff members decided to go the opposite direction than that, I refused to participate since it was a blatant disrespect to my own wishes, I became offended because I believed my donated money earned me respect, by definition a "rage quit".
HOWEVER, in retrospect the true issue was that I lost sight of why I was staff in the first place, and why I want to be staff now. I just want to help and I know I can.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I will gladly elaborate on any subject, just pm me.

 

accepted for interview!

 

Gosh I did not expect this much from you guys. <3

 

What to say, what to say. Took quite a few minutes to come up with something...

I was darn shocked when I read. "Help Application from Jw..." on the forums index and then I click over to see you applied. It was just not what I was expecting. Coming from my personal experiences, you fit (or create a model of) what a staff member should be, and you're more than qualified in any aspect I know about. I watched you handle so many different situations so well in the past. You are a leader. Someone anyone could go to for help. You handle anger from other players pretty well which is not something everyone can do.

You are on at interesting times of night, and that's good and bad. My concern with that is the lack of sleep with that schedule, but .

I'm a +1 all the way. I don't think I could have said anything else in anything I could have mustered up because I've only had great experiences with you.

 

I'm a +1. You are clearly qualified and I agree that you would be an asset to the team. Just as a bonus, every interaction I've had with you was positive. Good luck

 

-1
Shocked i'm not a ref, even tho i said i would be.

My real vote! (the -1 was a joke btw :3 )
