Best Posts in Thread: Architect Application from mowglisd

Right, I say this on every architect application.

Does your stuff even compare to what we already have on the server?
> No, it does not. I wish it was even close.

So, unless the server wants to go down with quality, I don't see you being accepted, sorry.

Other than that, I could probably teach a monkey how to write a better application. I am not sure why staff should even bother with it if you obviously did not.

 

Ehhh when did you ask me to be a ref? I haven't even seen any of your builds :/

 

• Lack of Detail
(Only uses three blocks)

• Broken many server rules, (refer to link to reports)
Mowglisid

• Often has rude attitude not fit for a staff rank
(even if its just Architect)

• Common Plagiarism
(Refer to Images)

(Image 2: What was built in Delta Financial District prior to this, all what mowglisid changed was how tall the glass was)


I do not believe we need someone like this on the Architect Staff Team.

You need to completely change yourself to qualify for this, try building something from scrap and not copying it from others because it certainly annoys people.

Alright, I haven't done this in awhile but I am just going to look at this piece by piece.

The application:
If you are saying that you really are 15, then this is scaring me. My little brother, who is 11 years old, could write this application better. Apparently, the people you have referenced did not agree to be a reference for you. (Did I say that right?) This is already a huge red flag for me and is showing that either you don't understand what a reference is, or worse, that you lied. If you applied for a job you have to ask someone to be your reference, the job would contact the person you referenced and ask them some questions about you.

• Based on this alone, I can see that you rushed this application as fast as possible, also lying about your references. (Please see @NinjaRoxy post and @Qazini above)

Introduction:
The first thing I would've liked to see was your first name. Like, who are you? I don't give two craps (would've said the other word) about your past. The first thing that you presented to me is that I should assume that you have a bad record on Meepcraft. That's another red flag for me. Other things that you could've done in the introduction: What do you do besides minecraft? You play sports / or have hobbies? I am already seeing obvious spelling errors and you're not capitalizing your I's. Then you go into the pity route which makes me seem like you want me to feel guilty about -1'ing your application, which won't ever work. I really hate it when people type "LIKE THIS" and to clear it up, don't ever do this in an application:

• Already, the first thing you told me is that you are a troublemaker, you gave me 0 pieces of information about yourself besides that you are made fun of. Also, I ignored that P.S. because I am going to tell you to work on your spelling. Over and over.

Architect:
Oh, god. Please don't put acronyms in applications. One of my pet peeves when I help my manager at work. Don't say "XP" say "experience" also, the fudge (you know what word I am saying) is this:

<This reminds me of that spongebob episode now that I am thinking about it>

No, I refuse to ignore this. You could've said, "I have a lot of family members in the construction business." Something besides this. Also, it's not in your blood, because I find building to be like drawing. You need to practice to become better. I think other's might disagree with me, or find actual evidence of people being good at drawing just by their family members. My other brother, who is 17, can draw 20x better than me, build better than me, and I'll let him have the opinion of your builds since he is more qualified than I am. (Yes, he is in the same room as me) Other things that I've already explained after this.


Builds:
My brother, (who is known as @sharpblades2 on forums but inactive due to moving on from this game) will do this.

"These builds, they aren't worth even putting in my town, if I owned one. From above, I see that you said that you were "inspired" by this. Changing one thing isn't inspiration to me, I still find this plagiarizing and agree with Natsu that you just mindlessly stole the first build but changed a few minor details. The 2nd build you have (The Mowglisid Tower) is just repetitive and boring. It just keeps going and going while nothing but the color changes. I would say that this build would be rated a 2 / 10 at most."


Conclusion:
Please pay more attention in English, and probably work more on your spelling and grammar. I had to try to force myself to finish reading this. I know that my grammar isn't perfect, but I do work on it a lot outside of classes. Don't use acronyms and try to be more original with your builds. Don't lie about your references and spend more than one hour on your application.

I think I spent to much time on this and could've done my Cisco Networking homework instead.

 

Herro Mowglisid.
I'm at a -1 for this app. Yes, spelling should not be taken into consideration, but looking at how you formatted, wrote, and didn't get anyone to look at it just to fix it up a notch shows you only want the name as well as the perms architects get. I've had my experience with you, as have other people on this server. There have been problems told to us by multiple players. This isn't a helper app, but you are still expected to behave as one and not go off acting all immature like. When I saw your references, I was debating whether you really asked them or not. After finding out you didn't, that brought me to the point where if we can trust you. On discord, you encourage others to get on your realm even though they don't want to, and you seem to never stop asking. You need to learn how to behave and gain trust from us to show you're up to become architect, being mature and respectful to others. You only used one build for your app, and yes, it does look similar to the Delta build. It's doesn't even look as if its considered arch quality. You need to stretch out and use your building techniques (if any) and apply them to other areas. Main reason for creative or towns, or even just single player Minecraft so you can build there. Your response to that comment shows you can't take criticism, which is similar to your app you posted before for arch.
Overall, its as if you put no effort into making this application, whether it be the builds, or the app itself. It makes me think you only want to be arch only for the perms to use at your own leisure. Like Nager said, take 6 months, or 4 minimum if you think you can improve, to demonstrate your skills in building.
Strong -1.

Lolno.
There is no excuse for arguing on a staff application, It just makes you look even worse than you are.

 

I have found several alarming things whilst viewing this post that lead me to believe you are not fit to be a member of staff on this server.

• Your grammar is abysmal. You could have at least read over your application before posting it and checked for grammatical errors such as punctuation, spelling, formatting etc. but it's apparent that you haven't taken the time to do that. I mean, after all, you claim to be 15. That's older than I am

• Let's be real, you're not 15. I know this because I was once like you. I wrote awful applications to become trial-mod (as it was known at the time) and was denied every time. I was certainly unfit to be staff. I didn't know any commands, I couldn't spell, I couldn't type and I was only 10 years old. I said I was 14 but obviously that was a lie. I see so many similarities between you and me that it's almost uncanny.

• You can't build. This is the biggest one of them all. You're quality of building is abysmal. You have posted pictures of buildings that you have plagiarised awfully. You somehow manage to make it obvious that you've copied these buildings yet somehow manage to make them look bad. You seriously need to work to improve your building skills if you ever wish to be architect on this server.

In summary, I must say that I believe you are applying in an attempt to get creative mode and a prefix next to your name. You aren't fit to be a member of staff in any form, whether it be helper or architect. I strongly advise you to not apply again for at least 6 months as you aren't ready to be staff now and it doesn't appear that you are going to change any time soon.

(Apologies if there are formatting or grammatical errors in this, it's nearly 1AM on a Sunday night and I am doing this from bed on my phone, just don't want to look like a massive hypocrite.)
