•You are very helpful
•You seem very helpful
•More Reasons Above
•You helped improve my staff app
You are very dedicated to the job and I wish you good luck! (Not that you need it )

 

Chaos, Devil and I spent the majority of our time trying to get you to do work and you had a multitude of excuses for the longest time. I started to wonder whether or not they were genuine. While I understand you have been working harder since you've come back, that time still resonates and I would be surprised if you were accepted because of some of the conversation Devil and I have had to have with you. I'm a -1.

 

I understand how you are worried about my excuses for my inactivity, and I do sincerely apologize for them. I always hate making excuses like that, even though I know they are true and there is nothing else I can say. While I think I have improved upon that, I am glad you brought this up.

Comments

What am I called in-game?
My IGN is chaos546.

What am I called on Skype?
My Skype name is Theshadowsofthefrost.

What am I called on TeamSpeak?
My TeamSpeak name is chaos546.

Do I regularly use a microphone?
I always use a microphone on TeamSpeak.

How old am I?
I am fourteen years old.

What timezone am I in?
I am in the MST timezone, or in other words, GMT -7.

How long am I online for during the week?
On weekdays, I am generally online for between 3 to 5 hours a day, depending. I also tend to go on later on in the day, normally between 5:00pm and 11:00pm, my time. I get on earlier and stay on later on Fridays.
How long am I online for during the weekend?
During the weekend, I'm normally online for between 4 to 8 hours a day, again depending. Generally speaking, I am on less on Sundays due to homework and having to go to sleep earlier for school and whatnot. I get on at any time during the day. I also often have Fridays off, so I have weekend hours on those days. Finally, I sometimes have Thursday-Friday off, or Monday-Tuesday, or Friday-Monday. These very long weekends generally happen during holidays. (Try to have less days off of meep, if humanly possible.)

What position am I applying for?
I am applying for the position of Moderator.

What is my personality like?
Well, as many of you know, I'm chaos546, also known as Cha. My given name, in real life, is Natalie, although I have plenty of nicknames, including simple things like Nat, or more confusing names like Nana, Nanachan, and even Natattack. I love any nicknames though, so if you want to give me your own unique nickname for me, that's totally cool with me.
As I said above, I am fourteen years old. My birthday is on December 3rd, and I live in Canada and have my whole life.

I love any animals, but especially cats and birds, and I love to read, write, draw, and photograph. I don't do any of these things as often anymore, but they are still some of my very favourite things to do.

However, the thing I do the most, a probably seen by the fact that I am even here, is play games. My dad works at a video company and I've basically grown up around video games; I can't remember a time when I haven't watched someone play a game. I love playing video games myself as well, and some of my favourite franchises are Pokemon and The Legend Of Zelda, though I have many other favourites as well.
Generally speaking, I tend to be a fairly friendly person, especially on the forums. I tend to be different when typing than when speaking, as when typing I am more confident and tend to type more than I would say out loud. I can sometimes seem distant or even rude when typing, but I try not to do this if I catch myself doing it. However, I am actually a fairly shy person in real life, and if I am uncomfortable, will probably not talk at all if you are with me on TeamSpeak. Though, those who have heard me on TeamSpeak when I am comfortable probably know me as who I am in real life under the same circumstances; a fairly silly person who laughs a lot and talks to herself while playing games.
Why do I think I should be considered to be a Moderator?
Well, I have my reasons, like all applicants, so bear with me while I elaborate on each and hopefully don't bore you all.

The first is the amount of time I've been a Helper. I was promoted exactly three months ago. In the beginning, and throughout, I've had a lot of issues with activity and with a few mistakes that I can honestly say I've never forgotten, and probably never will. (Activity is a big problem. I would say you should spend less time on the forums and more time in game.) However, I have learned a ton and I can truthfully say that I have grown not only as a staff member but also as a person on the whole. I've gone from being a shy and slightly helpful person to a person I can be proud of. Throughout my time as a staff member so far, I've tried to work hard on the weaknesses I had in my last application, and I feel I've really been able to remedy the issues I've had whilst being Helper.(Good job trying to remedy those weaknesses, they will really help you excel in your moderator position which I am very sure you will get.)

That's really where I'd like to start this next paragraph; at how much I've overcome the weaknesses I originally had. I have tried hard since I wrote my first application to solve those weaknesses to the best of my ability, and I can honestly say I have them under control. I dedicated myself to making sure that nothing like that happened again, and succeeded.
Another asset I have is that I always strive to get the best answer I can. I make sure that I ask everyone if they have any other questions or things I can help with after I help them with their original issue, and I will gladly spend hours at a time helping the same person with an issue. I try to have quality over quantity; that is, I'd rather have every person I help feel at least a little satisfied after I'm through rather than just answer the one question so that I can seem more productive. I am always willing to help out with any issue that people have, as long as it is in my power to do it. I see this as a big personality trait to have, as I always try to make people happy. (It is nice to make people happy, because the more people like you, the more people will support you on future endeavours.)

Due to the fact that I can get on the forums almost anywhere, naturally my activity here is a big factor. I know I'm on the forums a lot more than I am in game, which can be an issue(This is a very large issue. People feel that an active in-game helper is better then an active, forums helper.), but I feel closer to the community this way and that I can get to know people better. I have several forums watched, and try to get to each of my alerts as fast as I can. I am also able to quickly hop on the ball of things here to the best of my ability.

Now, below, in the Weaknesses section, you'll see me mention my anxiety. I count it as both a weakness and a strength; for example, if I make a mistake, I try my hardest to remedy or compensate anyone who I could've hurt with that mistake. I care whether or not people are enjoying themselves, and worry if I feel I haven't done a good job. When I have this feeling under control, it can help me to work harder to make sure I do my best, so I count that as part of my strengths.
What are my weaknesses?
I'd be the first to admit that I'm not all rainbows and kittens. I have a fair amount of weaknesses myself, that I have been working hard to remedy to the best of my abilities.
First and foremost, I'd like to start with my in game and TeamSpeak activity issues. Yes, I know that no one likes it when these are included,(Chaos, you need to work on especially IG activity. Moderators should have a bigger TS and IG activity margin then a forums activity margin.) but I honestly see these as part of my weaknesses and especially part of what has led me to delay applying. Now, my in game and TeamSpeak activity go hand in hand for me, as I only have TeamSpeak on the laptop that I play on, so I go on both at the same time. Anyways, due to certain family rules and other things in real life, I sometimes have periods of inactivity on these fronts. The past three months of me being a Helper have been punctuated by these times. I believe I have mostly fixed these, or at least the best I can.
Now, there's also the issue of the fact that around strangers or large groups on TeamSpeak, I tend to be a very quiet person. I've worked on this, and generally can get pretty comfortable with people in ten minutes, at most. However, I tend to have troubles plucking up the courage to even switch into channels with people I'm not comfortable with. I need to work on this a bit more, I'll admit, though it can be difficult. I'll elaborate on this lower down.

A small weakness I can think of is that I tend to never forget if a player did something I consider atrocious, or even a little bad. Some may not consider this a weakness, but it can make it difficult for me to treat them nicely if I know they've been horrible to someone at some point. I tend to try to 'forgive, but never forget' and therefore if they do something even remotely wrong after that, even if it is as far as a year after, I tend to move towards treating them like someone who constantly breaks rules. This isn't that serious anymore, but I count it as a sort of grudge-holding that can be bad.

A few more little things, like sometimes getting a little bit impatient with those who constantly repeat themselves, or ask me the exact same question several times, but I rarely snap at people for this.

Finally, my last weakness; anxiety. I've had bursts of anxiety ever since I was little, and sometimes it can affect me in major ways on the server. For example, if I make a mistake, such as kicking the wrong person(Mistakes are made sometimes, but sometimes you would feel very sick if you kicked the wrong person. I personally would!), I feel sick and often want to just get off immediately. If I post something that could have both good effects and bad, I obsessively check it. It is sometimes crippling, and sometimes barely noticeable, but it can affect me in my work and therefore is something I want to include here. I have ways of helping myself no longer feel as anxious, but I want to mention it nevertheless as it can be a very bad thing sometimes.

For all of my weaknesses, I have tried to develop ways to remedy or work around them.

So what does this all add up too?
All in all, I feel that I can better use my abilities as a Moderator. I can overcome my weaknesses with a bit of dedication, and I always try for the best for the community. I've learned a lot through my time as a Helper, and I truly feel that I am as ready as I'll ever be to apply.

Thanks for taking time to read,

♪ Cha
(Chaos, your app was very well punctuated. You have shown that you are a very worthy person of the moderator position. I love your inspiration and your writing skills, and I believe you are more then ready. +999. Please try and improve activity issues though!)

 

Thank you for breaking down my application like this; I have worked on my activity in both those areas, and the fact that I am so active on the forums does not cut out of my activity in the other places. This is due to the fact that more often than not when I am on the forums, it is humanly impossible for me to get online in game.

I just wanted to address one thing I think you may have been mistaken on;

I think you may have misunderstood me here, as when I say 'off' I mean off from school.

Thanks again to all of you for your support and feedback.

 

Accepted for interview! Keep it up!
