When did you join Meepcraft? March 29, 2015

Introduction:
Hihi! My name is Melissa, but most people like to call me Mel. I'm going into my senior year of highschool this year, and have been actively involved in Student Government and Key Club since freshman year. I'm really into history, geography, traveling, language, and politics. When I'm older, I want to go into a field that somehow incorporates all that and be able to not only gain more knowledge on it everyday, but also to be able to put it to work.

Why should you be Helper?
When I joined the server earlier in the year, I vowed I absolutely would not become staff, and would instead just enjoy my time playing the game and interacting with the community. But honestly, I love helping people. I love being someone that people can rely on, it's really all I've ever known and it comes so naturally to me. As more time passed on this server, I realized I really love the community, and that I want to try to further my role in it.

As previously stated, I am involved in Student Government and Key Club at my school, which means I am used to taking on responsibility and am familiar with how to be a role model for others. I have experience with organizing events, running meetings, and am used to volunteering my time. These responsibilities won't affect my activity on the server, as I'm also very good at managing my schedule efficiently.

I also am experienced with Towny perms, as I'm co-mayor of two towns and have spent a lot of time running them. But above that, I'm a really fast learner, so I can quickly become an expert on anything. When I was staff on another server, we used Hawkeye, and I had it down within a day.

I'm not afraid to ask questions and I'm not afraid to get into the depth of any problem, regardless of who is involved. This means if there's a problem, I am very good at resolving it from an objective standpoint. Even if my best friend on the server broke the rules, I would follow up on the punishment to the dot.

What are your weaknesses?
Teamspeak
I know it's become somewhat of a broken record on staff apps, but Teamspeak is a bit of a weakness for me. I'm a very soft spoken person, and have difficulty inserting myself into conversations I don't feel invited in. This isn't true for when I'm typing, but when I have to use my voice I am incredibly shy. This isn't to say that I won't ever be able to open up on teamspeak, but instead means it will be a bit of a weakness until I'm more comfortable speaking around you all.

Empathy
I'm going to be honest, I have very low levels of empathy. This isn't to say that I'm heartless, but instead means I have to actively try to be empathetic. So my decisions are often based off the book, though I am a very friendly person. I don't personally feel this is too big of a weakness, as people usually don't know unless I tell them.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know:
I am going back to school this week, so my hours of activity will shift from 12p-3a to 3p-11p. I'm definitely someone you can rely on to be active until really late at night on weekends though, as honestly I rarely have anything better to do.

Thank you for your consideration!

 

Wowza!

Yet another post of yours causing unnecessary flame? Do you ever stop trying to get into arguments? You're either debating (an argument in itself, but mostly civilized), or trolling. It seems like only a few posts of yours have been constructive, and you're always condescending. Maybe if you just stop being this way, people will like you, but apparently you don't care. If you have lots of friends, why waste your time on a Minecraft server/forum where you have zero friends? What's the point of staying and antagonizing us?

As for the application...

Mel, you seem like a great person. I haven't really gotten to know you, but from what I've heard you seem to be the model addition to staff. The few times I have seen you, you've been kind, respectful, and nearly always just trying to create a positive atmosphere. In fact, I don't see any reasons to not +1 this app. You probably know my vote. +1

 

Guys lets not start a flame war on a very nice gal's application. Go do it somewhere else if you REALLY need to argue at each other about calling people 'guy'

 

Smart. +1

+1
Your debates are great. +1

You seem like an interesting person and it's easy to tell you like helping others. One thing I would like to note in the event you become staff is allocate more time to your schoolwork cause 3pm-11pm est is a little unrealistic. (third paragraph of yours) Your app gives off the feeling that you do good in school, and being staff on here shouldn't take away from that
Good luck! Hope to see you on TS more even though I don't participate much on it. . .

 

TBH you seem like one of the better applicants as of late. I really like the fact that you can be really active, as some of the younger folks have time constraints. Looking forward to seeing you on the staff team!

 

As much as I love arguments relating to feminism, please stay on topic here guys.

 

Accepted

 

I remember both mentioning joining staff as well as talking to the other staff members about you as a possible candidate when I first met you. You are one of the most pleasant people ever to file a modreq, and I am extremely confident in your ability to keep a cool head in most situations; something that is a very important skill for staff work.

All in all, I definitely want to see you in interview.
