When did you join Meepcraft? 2012

Introduction: Hello Meepcraft! After much thought I have decided to reapply for a staff position. As most of you know I was previously a part of the staff team. I served as helper for about a month, until I applied for mod and served for another two. My time on the staff team has most definitely been some of the most enjoyable I've ever had on meep. From building strong friendships with my fellow staff members to interacting with different players from all around the server on modreqs, I enjoyed it all. The relationships that I formed with my peers throughout the time on the team is definitely something I prize most about the three months. They carried over to platforms outside of Meep, and we even bonded over things completely unrelated to Minecraft. The opportunity to grow so close to these people is something that I will always be grateful for.

Why should you be Helper? Well first of all, my prior experience on the staff team. I still know all the commands like the back of my hand and am confident that I could still tackle any staff situation with ease. Due to this, I would require little training and almost immediately be able to jump back in and start helping the team. Some staff even still come to me for prism help when they are online with no other staff to answer their questions.

Second of all, my maturity. When in game, whether it be speaking in shout, local, or private message, I almost always retain a mature demeanor. This is a very important quality in staff members and is crucial when handling almost every staff situation. While I do mess around sometimes, I very quickly know when it is time to get serious. Not to mention, when I mess around I'm fairly sure it does not drift into the realm of immaturity.

Now thirdly, and finally, my attitude. I don't think there are more than three instances when I've been intentionally rude to players on this server over my whole time on Meep. I am nice to everyone, and I make an effort to show people that they are welcome. However, attitude does not only account for how one treats people, but also how one reacts when presented with a stressful situation. Personally, I always stay level minded during shaky events. This is also quite an important quality when it comes to performing adequately as a staff member and that is why I will do very well in a helper position.

What are your weaknesses? Teamspeak Maturity - Yes, sometimes I get carried away when talking on teamspeak. I will get too hyper (depending on my mood) and act immature. This is something I will undoubtedly put all my effort towards trying to stop as a staff member and am confident that I will succeed. However, It is definitely something the community should know about before placing their votes.

Nation Roleplay - I get too emotionally invested when someone threatens my nation in beta. It was my dream since I first joined meep to own the largest nation, and I finally accomplished after 3-4 years time, so when that dream is threatened I tend to overreact. Don't take this out of context, however. Never have I made any vulgar or personal attacks on any other person, any other town, or any other nation that was threatening mine. Not even my relationships with the people on the opposing side have ever been affected. I simply view these situations as roleplay and nothing more, but I do tend to get very serious about them.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I appreciate the time you took to read over my app, and I hope to read some constructive feedback. Thank you all!

 

What happened to me last time around was truly unfair. I had a right to be angry, and I was.

(Summrs put it perfectly)
However, I disagree with your statement that I "raged so hard." I went off on a large (but completely logical and appropriate) rant regarding the decision made, yet I didn't scream curseword after curseword as some might assume after reading what you have written. In that channel, I did not say anything outside of the bounds that would be considered something appropriate for a staff member to say. I don't know why it made you angry that I was unhappy with the decision made about my previous app, but is that really a reason to -1 me?

To address your second point, I have been very active an helpful in game. I could do better in shout, but I often respond to requests for help in msg. I also reach out to new players when they found a town.

And your third point. The offended too easily. I just need some evidence for that.

 

damn, i didn't reply fast enough to be a reference. still at a +1!

jala, you've been a close friend of mine meep-wise, and it started through the staff team. you were extremely efficient with modreqs, and not only helpful to the playerbase, but you were helpful to the other staff members. if i came to you with a question, you would answer it to the best of your abilities, and on the rare occasion where you didn't know the answer, you would make your best effort to get an answer. you have an infectious personality, and you've retained some great activity on the server. you'd be a lovely addition to the staff team.

 

I'd like a chance to work with you on the staff team. From what I have heard you did amazingly well while being staff. Your app was nice, it let me know all about you and why you should be staff. And this isn't just because you wanted me to comment on your app, I truly believe you will do well and maybe even better this time now. Good luck on your application, it will be a +1 from me.

 

You were a good staff member last time, and even though there were some bumps along the way when you applied after that and was denied, you still was a constant, active, kind, funny, and positive member to the community. I wouldn't mind if we gave you an interview this time around.
That being said, I expect from you no less than what you put on your app, because I know you are a great person but your silliness can get the better of you sometimes.
