When did you join Meepcraft? November 2012

Introduction: Hello all, my name is Klitcher. I am a senior in Florida looking to study either radio broadcasting or outdoor education in college. Meepcraft has always been a haven of mine since November of 2012. I have put in countless hours to be a part of this fantastic community. Every player in this server has a part in it's success, and its growth has been tremendous. In the past, I have held both the Helper and Mod position twice. I performed well in both instances, and I was sadly forced out of my latest Mod position by in-real-life complications. I ultimately hope to restore my work on this server to its former state.

Why should you be Helper? In the past two times as staff, I have worked efficiently and properly with my fellow staff members. I proficient in situations where I am alone, assisted by another staff member, or assisting another staff member. I have experienced countless situations ranging from a 2 hour griefing and theft case, to a 5 minute luring case. In all cases, I have thoroughly completed the work necessary.

In my latest application, I was denied for a simple reason. I had misunderstood information given to me when I had to resign in my last standing as Mod. I understand what I did wrong and why I was not reinstated as a staff member. While my activity has only gone up recently, it will not go down for as long as I can. I have gained a strong foundation in this school year, being 3 weeks ahead of my Honors Economics class, and having no less than a 99.9% in all of my classes. I fear that many may think that I am a bad investment. I hope to clear that up. In both times as staff, I have done my work even in the toughest of situations. I am always available to all that need me, staff and player, and I can assure you all that I will continue to be so.

Aside from my past and hopeful future work, I have included in nearly all of my applications that I am a to-the-point person in most things that I do. I do not waste time in game in situations that are urgent, and I tend to reflect that in my applications. I do not enjoy including "fillers," but I see now that even with fillers, my previous applications would still be sub-par. I hope that this application shows my care and love for this server that I will continue to give. I have taken many hours out of my life to help grow and build this server, and I am sure that if I receive this position, that can continue.

Overall, I plan on joining the staff team with the same force that I have in the past. I tend to take things head on, and that is exactly what I will do with this opportunity. Yes, a significant break was taken this summer due to work and family, but no break has been taken in how I can perform on this server.

What are your weaknesses? This may not be a weakness in some situations, but in others, it can be. With heavy stress comes me getting mad. I don't enjoy getting mad, so in stressful situations, I often walk away for minutes, or even hours, at a time. This is something I do in real life when dealing with my parents, and it is something that I have done on the server as well. This can sometimes be out of place when others involved don't understand what I'm doing, but in other situations it can be a blessing. It really depends, but it belongs here.

Aside from that, I am known to be very blunt. I do not tend to sugarcoat things that are serious situations. This can be taken as rude, and I often don't understand what I did wrong.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I hope this application has given better insight on my character and intentions on the server, and I look forward to everyone's response.

You need to play before getting helper.

 

You never seem to be on? Also seems like we have far too many staff in US zone atm anyway.
-/+
Also feel the fact that you have been staff twice and not stayed implies something. But you have esperience i suppose.

 

Though you are not as deserving as other candidates I believe you will do just as well. You are pretty active but I'd like to see more.
There are a lot of weaknesses you were given on your last app. Work on those and you'll be golden.

I think your most outstanding quality is your leadership. You are a wonderful leader and always go above and beyond what is asked.

 

The last time I talked to you, you seemed to really want me banned, but for only general reasons such as "long term toxicity" and the like. What would make me think you wouldn't just want to ban someone like me, who you really dislike?

Also, you seem to have this attitude that you expect helper rank when you return from your constant breaks from meepcraft. You have to show us that you deserve the rank before you get it.

I get that you think that you believe you should be helper, but I need to see that you're actually ready to join back. -1

 

To address your concern that I haven't stayed as staff I will just say this. The first time, I put too much on my plate and the stress overcame me, so I took a break for a month until I reapplied. The second time, I had to resign due to me going to work at a summer camp in North Carolina without my laptop. Thanks for raising this concern.

 

Glad to handled this well. However, I hope that you have the server in mind when making this, as only time i saw you on was recently, and after the "relaunch".

 

I've always supported you when you apply for helper.

It'd be nice if you actually played the game.

in your past runs as staff, you've done an excellent job. you were efficient with your modreqs and finished them with great quality. you helped other staff members from the day you arrived, and proved you learned quick, and were able to roll with the punches. as hestia said, you're a very strong leader, and it shows. make sure your activity stays constant, as i'm sure it will now that you're in a good groove. i'd love to see you as a helper again.

 

You were such a good staff last time, I'm sure you would be a good staff this time!

 

+Mature
+Good leadership
+Experienced
-Not that active
You should have waited a bit longer before applying while being active, but I think that even now you can handle being a staff member well. +1

 

To address all that are concerned about my activity, yes, I do look like a bad investment. However, both times that I have been staff I have proven that breaks do not get in the way. I can assure you all that regardless of the outcome of this application, I will continue to press forward as a community member and player. I do apologize that these tend to come early after rejoining, but a word that I could best be described in is "antsy." Thank you all for your feedback.

 

Hello Klitcher,
You just came back to the server recently, but I really enjoyed you as a staff member in the past so I am a +.5

 

Tbh, I don't care about activity.

If you come across a person who is being mean to someone else, or the server in shout. What do you do?

 

I typically say something like "alright that's not necessary." No joke that's my response most of the time.

 

To further clarify, that is what I do currently as a player. I don't think getting mad at someone that's already mad does anything. I have limited control over who says what as a player, so a simple comment that lets them know that they are being rude is more likely to stop them from continuing before a staff member has to take action.

As a staff member, I would pull them aside and talk to them privately about what is making them so mad and why they can't be mean to other players.

I apologize if my first answer is weird, I had just woken up.

Remember that time you spam moved me to your channel on teamspeak, threatened to ban me, then made it so I couldn't move or speak? Pepperidge Farm remembers

 

Yes, the first week I got mod in early October. The one I have apologized for continuously.

 

+1 iv seen you online a bit recently and you have had plenty of experience in the past. Also, I like your cinfident attitude you came into the app with. Good luck!

 

I have not recieved a single apology and being on your first week as mod is no excuse. You are supposed to be a trusted and mature helper long before you are even considered mod. My -1 stays. Even if you were brand new to staff there is no excuse for abusing your powers to harass a player.
