When did you join Meepcraft? 5/22/14

Introduction: Many of the people on Meepcraft know me as Jalapenos, but my name in the real world is Geoffrey. Ever since I was a small child, music has fascinated me. The way the notes flow in such a perfect procession, one after another creating a song that sounds unique to all others just seems mystical to me. This of course drove me to delve into the arts myself. At 8 years old I picked up a guitar for the first time and ever since then I’ve been playing. On top of my passion for music, I’ve also developed quite an ‘addiction’ to video games. A video game in particular, being Minecraft. I started to play this game about four years ago, and for the first year I was completely foreign to multiplayer. When my friend introduced to me this new ‘multiplayer’ aspect of the game, I was ecstatic. Never did I think I would be able to collaborate with so many others across the world doing something I enjoy so early in my life. Nevertheless, I came across many different servers in the next two or so years, but none I really stuck with. But I then came across Meeprcraft. Meepcraft was a server that I fit into and one that I stuck with me over a year now, because it accepts everyone who is nice. The fact that Meepcraft is so welcoming to kind people is the reason why its community is so kind on the whole. The Meepcraft community brought an aspect to Minecraft that I thought I’d never see, and it most definitely made the game more enjoyable.

Why should you be Helper? I feel that I would be well suited for the helper position due to my affection for the Meepcraft community. Ever since I first joined Meepcraft I fit right into the community because I always felt that if I needed something someone would be there. Whether I was confused with a few commands or needed a friend to play some HG with, someone would come. Over my year of playing with the community I have developed a keen understanding on how to healthily interact with players. I’ve always found it quite easy to calm down someone experiencing anger while still moderating the emotion I feel myself. This helps me turn situations that could have gone terribly wrong, up with a positive outcome.

I’ve also developed strong problem solving skills thanks to programs in my school. I enrolled in both the Model UN program and Debate team which require one to analyze and resolve situations based on their factors. Model UN required my team and I to brainstorm a way to provide food for impoverished countries in Africa while not conflicting with the beliefs of other countries. This was very difficult but eventually we came to a sound compromise. As for debate, my team and I had to convince a third party as to why our side was right. This taught me how to be very persuasive in situation while still maintaining a professional tone, which can be very useful when dealing with arguments between players.

What are your weaknesses? A weakness that has always haunted me have been my insecurities. A lot of times when I talk to people I feel as if I’m being judged harshly even though I know that I’m not. In the recent past I’ve been working on this and I have made a large amount of progress. I’ve become better at talking to people and more comfortable with it as well.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I used to own a server which had a 30-50 player constant. My experiences with the players on there will benefit me as a helper on Meepcraft, in my opinion.

 

I was in TS talking to Jess_4D and you came in.
You immediately wanted to talk about how I -1'd her app, getting extremely defensive, sassy, rude.
Every single time I said something, you interrupted me and started to bash on my points.
You cannot take criticism, you bashed on me for my opinion on another player, you cannot go as staff with this attitude. it's ridiculous.
Huuuuge -1.
