Introduction: For those of you who don't know me, My name is Josh, a 29 year old restaurant manager who has a lot of spare time and no family. Ive been playing on this server since before we knew the name CG, I play no other servers, I am wholly devoted to meepcraft, I am knowledgeable in almost every aspect of the server and would require next to no training, my 3 year ban history is immaculate except for a friendly ban from fuzzlr for spamming /s while i was previously staff. Long story short, I'm just plain tired of "playing" the eco, I have a town thats fantastic and complete enough that I do not need to devote much time to sustaining it. I'm left with the feeling of emptiness, I see faults/gaps in staff and in leadership, I know I can be an asset to the team again and I am confident that I have more to offer this server than what I am currently providing.

Why should you be Helper? I kind of answered "why I want to be helper" above; But, It's hard to quantify or simply state why "I should" without sounding arrogant or as if I know what the staff team needs. Given current staff shortages due to the ever repeating cycle of inactivity/demote/reapply/quit/return I suppose all thats "required" would be honesty, loyalty, availability, as well as good work ethic and the desire to do the job for free(volunteer). And if an applicant met those criteria, he or she "should be staff", but I am speculating...

I can offer bullet points to some of my shining qualities that suggest that I am more qualified than some of my peers however:
-3 Years of activity in at least 75% of the year.
-My age allows me to be more controlled in my actions and decision making, not to mention I can relate to a different subset of players on this server more easily, (The adults with money)
-My record in terms of whether or not I have been a positive or toxic member of this server speaks for itself.
-There are more than 50 people out there with ranks that were never charged back, there has never been an instance of me mistreating my town residents or failing to adhere to the rules laid forth by prior staff.
-I was staff when there was a much higher workload for helpers/mods so I can tolerate the stress of a busy day.
-For the reason mentioned above, I am well versed on the internal structure of staff and its processes as well as the server and it's plugins.
-My knowledge of the subtree commands for towny is top level, I live to foster new citizens into future leaders.
-My professional courtesy towards potential and current customers(players) is outstanding, if you pry into my replies in ban appeals and whatnot from around a year ago you will see the time and attention I put into the words I post/say while I represent staff. (not going to lie, I am human, I have made rage posts that would be unprofessional if they had been sent while I was representative of meepcraft staff, but I am not going to go back and delete them for the sake of image.)
-Reliability is above par, I have no responsibilities outside of a job, will respond timely to texts, forum messages, and skype.
-My active time is during the dead east and late west coast, I get to witness Europe wake up, as well as play during the AUS/NZ peak. Not a lot of east cost staff can cover those timezones.
-Long time forum user/lurker who is generally well received, can devote plenty of time even off location to handle web related incidents.

What are your weaknesses? Sugar cookies, bacon, Mtn. Dew.
Ok seriously;
-Active time contradicts most other staff members, I will be less visible than the normal staff member in /shout due to this.
-Due to my age I find it difficult to relax in teamspeak, I certainly have 0 issues using this interface for staff related things, or to specifically work with a single player, but I do not "hang out" in TS. It is also once again partly due to the timezone and when I am awake, I live in a condo with roommates and lmao at 4am doesn't go over too well.
-I also have less than average desire to milk my "staff title" in game, I am applying for a job where I help new citizens, weed out the bad players and offer support to any other staff member who requests, I am NOT here to become famous in /shout, some of you current staff may be +/- on this.
-I quit once from staff with no notice, also became inactive on the server for about 7 months after that...
To say on that; I deluded myself into thinking my purpose on staff was to change the server to what I believed to be the best, which is decidely different that what IS the best. When fellow staff members decided to go the opposite direction than that, I refused to participate since it was a blatant disrespect to my own wishes, I became offended because I believed my donated money earned me respect, by definition a "rage quit".
HOWEVER, in retrospect the true issue was that I lost sight of why I was staff in the first place, and why I want to be staff now. I just want to help and I know I can.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I will gladly elaborate on any subject, just pm me.

 

I'm a +1. You are clearly qualified and I agree that you would be an asset to the team. Just as a bonus, every interaction I've had with you was positive. Good luck

 

+1
I feel that if you really commit yourself to this, you'll perform in an outstanding way.

Shocked i'm not a ref, even tho i said i would be.

My real vote! (the -1 was a joke btw :3 )

What to say, what to say. Took quite a few minutes to come up with something...

I was darn shocked when I read. "Help Application from Jw..." on the forums index and then I click over to see you applied. It was just not what I was expecting. Coming from my personal experiences, you fit (or create a model of) what a staff member should be, and you're more than qualified in any aspect I know about. I watched you handle so many different situations so well in the past. You are a leader. Someone anyone could go to for help. You handle anger from other players pretty well which is not something everyone can do.

You are on at interesting times of night, and that's good and bad. My concern with that is the lack of sleep with that schedule, but .

I'm a +1 all the way. I don't think I could have said anything else in anything I could have mustered up because I've only had great experiences with you.

 

+1 You've been on the server for as long as I can remember and I have never had a bad experience with you. You are going to make a great staff member

 

Awesome app, i don't know you very well but i can relate to several parts of your app also being one of the few adults on Meep.

I think that you would be perfect for the staff team and a great asset to Meepcraft.

+1

 

+/-
I do see you in game sometimes, but you are never in global.
Also, I have NEVER seen you on Teamspeak.
No vote for now

 

+1 great app!
In relevance to your discomfort in TeamSpeak I understand completely as it is one of the reasons I have not got it yet.

good luck!!

 

+1 I think i don't need to say more. Miss you old friend!

 

LOL even though you hate me or whatever

you actually do your job

+0.5

 

You are one of the best canidates I've ever seen! You're active, helpful, mature, knowlagable, and intelligent!

+1!

Only thing is ts but that should be easy. You can get in on your phone too (if you don't already)

 

+/-, this is a great app but I have like never seen you online on meep....work on getting your name out a little more. Most of the older meepers know your name but since there are a bunch of newbies, they won't know you as much.

Good luck!

 

+1!
Great application, and for all those other reasons everybody has stated above. I hope to see you on the team soon, pal!

 

Wow, seeing this thread was... Totally unexpected. But a very pleasant surprise.
There's no doubt in my mind you're a very capable staff member. A big +1 from me.

 

+1
While it would be nice if you were more active (/g, teamspeak, forums) you are very qualified for the job.

 

You are one of the few people that I remember before I quit. Being Australian I see you on enough. You help out when help is need and your also not the wanna be celebrity like some staff or meepers I know (Waddy). you definitely know ur stuff about commands and stuff. I have also heard lots of good about you from ex staff that I am good friends with.
Easy +1 for me

 

Didn't see it coming but it came
Great application
Extremely skilled
Mature (quite obviously)
I think we know you we'll enough that your activity in global isn't necessary

Hai Jwarian! Its nice to meet you! I thought your application was really great, however you have to be more active in the community, meaning on TeamSpeak, Forums and in /shout or /g .

I was very shy when I joined teamspeak, but after a couple days of going on there regularly I started to make some friends and
feel like I was a part of something. (like family)
I haven't seen you on forums, but all aside you have the potential to be a great helper. Judging by your application you seem to know what you're getting into and don't just want the title or anything like that.

If you find me on teamspeak I'd love to chat with you and help the community know you, it won't take too long to re-introduce you to
the community. I won't leave a vote for now, since I don't know you personally yet. (but I hope that can change!) I will change my vote after I figure out who you are and your intentions. (don't be worried its not a quiz or anything)

Have a wonderful day! -Forte
