When did you join Meepcraft? August 29, 2013

Introduction: Hello! Yes, it’s that time again. As my forum name states, I’m Alexia. I’ve been playing Meepcraft for over two and a half years now. I’ve been staff twice and my entire time here has made me extremely happy.

Outside of Meep, I have several hobbies. I do professionally Scottish Dance, I’m working on being able to do competitive horse jumping, and I’m learning Pekiti which is a Filipino martial art. I enjoy drawing in both traditional and digital mediums and I’m working on a giant Pokemon embroidery. I don’t tend to watch lots of TV or shows, but I’m watching more Anime as of late. My favorites games include Minecraft, Elder Scrolls(Skyrim and Online), and The Last of us.

Why should you be Helper? - Experience and Knowledge
I have just under a half a year in experience as a staff member, and even though it’s been a year since I was last staff, the knowledge I gained from being a helper never left. I know all the ins and outs of prism, I know how to use it effectively, and I know when to apply it to get the job done. Previously, as a staff member, I showed an affinity for modreqs. I’m confident that in my third term as a staff member, I could further improve my work ethic and quality through the use of a positive attitude and strong leadership ability. I am aware that I showed an extremely negative aura during my previous two terms. Fortunately, I intend to learn from my previous mistakes and use these mistakes to make myself a stronger link in the staff team and an overall better person. I believe that a staff member who displays astounding leadership qualities, positive attitude, and efficiency would benefit any staff team. I believe I exhibit all of these qualities.

-Attitude
My attitude after I served my second term could only be described in one word, terrible. I was not in a good place in my life during this time, I was struggling with mainly with dealing with my nightmares, an issue I still experience to this day. This, coupled with a worsening drug problem and the passing of my two dogs, really degraded my attitude, both on Meep and in real life. Even with this attitude, my love for Meepcraft never changed. I want to see Meepcraft grow and change for the better. I find meepcraft worth fighting for, and I am not afraid in the slightest to dedicate myself to it.

Another thing I’d like to note here is that I can be remarkably unbiased in a professional setting. I am not afraid to admit that I dislike certain people on the server, but I will never let these feelings get in the way of my job. I am willing to issue a challenge to the current staff team, if I am caught being biased in anyway against any person, strip me from my rank.

-Worth Ethic and Activity
Usually, I am a laid back type of person, I find it very hard to start on something that takes a lot of time. However, once I’m passionate about something, I can never stop, momentum keeps building and I never lose focus. I’m also a great multitasker, I managed to teach Adlovesdogs and Cyber_Punk how to use prism during my second term of staff, all while maintaining a 30 modreq daily average. For my previous work as a helper, I’ve been accoladed by many respected staff members, such as Sjoepappentrap saying “You always worked your ‘butt’ off.”

Meepcrafters might like me because I am extremely accessible. I am available widely on Kik, Skype, the forums, and Teamspeak. Because of this, I am always open to suggestion, whether it comes from the players themselves or other members of the team. I believe staying accessible is very important due to recent conflict between staff and players.

On top of being consistently active in general, I can also be active on any timezone that’s necessary. I have a very loose schedule, being homeschooled grants me with a plethora of free time, and I don't mind in the slightest spending this free time working on Meep. This, coupled with my very strange sleeping schedule, makes it easy for me to moderate on the wee hours of the night, when most staff members are not on.

What are your weaknesses? I can say without a doubt that at least a quarter of you are going to shun me for my previous shortcomings as a staff and a community member. I am only asking you to put these qualms aside, and to give me another chance to prove to you all that I can be a mature and motivated staff member. My most recent demotion was almost a year and a half ago, because I sent many questionable messages to my close friend. I can guarantee that another incident like this, or another serious incident of any kind, will never happen again. I understand I still have a maturity and an attitude issue, but I swear I am improving and will continue to improve. If anyone has a question for me to answer concerning my past incidents, do not hesitate to message me anywhere you feel best!

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: Brownie000 is technically a shared alt, but it is not used on Meepcraft for any purpose.

 

+1

Pros

• Hard worker.
• Active on forums
• Caring

Cons

• sits in TS channel alone on ts, Come talk we don't bite.
• I don't see you much ingame, (but that could be our time schedules)

I know you have learned from your past, and hoping that it doesn't happen again, this time around and are ready to work hard on the staff team. Alot has changed within the team, be ready to work as a team, as a unit.

 

I really appreciate your tendency for blunt honesty. In many ways we share this characteristic: we don't mince words, and we say it how it is (please don't compare me to Donald Trump; I will cry). I do think you need to work on this attitude before you get staff, as many times you'll be forced to deal with situations that require more minced words, if you will. Nevertheless, your straightforwardness is something sorely lacking on the staff team.

One thing I find a bit concerning about you is your lack of forward vision. For example, many times on suggestion threads, you state something like "-1 not needed, there's ____ way to get around this." Or when people state that meepcraft gets boring to them and suggest new content, you respond by saying "there's already tons of stuff around, look: I can make a list of 100 things to do on Meepcraft." Basically, my point is that you seem to be somewhat indifferent about the progress of the server. From what I can see, you don't really support returning the server and its policies to those of Old Meep, but at the same time you don't really advocate the introduction of new content. While this isn't really something I would deem necessary to perform the necessary duties of a helper, I definitely believe that you need to work on this before rising the ranks of staff.

All in all, you're helpful in shout, active on forums, and from what I hear, TS. Your straightforwardness is to be respected; however, I haven't seen you demonstrate that you know exactly when to be a bit more subtle with your words.

Good luck.

+/-


Also, while I have every reason to believe that you've matured, your record on the staff team isn't exactly stellar. I don't think you'll abuse the power you've been given, or mess up like you have in the past. However, your previous run left a bad taste in many peoples' mouths, similar to Bob4444444.

 

Hello Muunkee, you have been accepted for interview. Good luck!

 

Eyo Muunkee, I'm glad that you've applied! I hope your intentions are good, as many staff promise for change and greatness. But in you I see it actually happening. I do personally see you as very strict, and somewhat ill mannered. But once you get that Helper title over you name that will change right? You have IMO great potential to offer this server than most current staff already.

Pros: Constantly active via the forums 24/7 (no joke, she lives on the forums)
Usually active in game, at least every time I'm online, you're online.
Very to the point, tells people how you feel and how it is. Strong independent woman.

Cons: I can you always being strict, really effecting you in the future. I can see this being used against you, something getting out of hand. You telling people your honest opinions about them isn't always the best way to deal with problems, in most cases it will only make the situation worse. Your attitude can still be brought up, but judging by how you act, you can control it.

All in all, I hope you become staff and help straighten up the current staff team and start making it actually mean something to become a staff member again. I wish you only the best of luck in your application process.

 

I'm gonna quote shains comment from your last application, as it's still 100% true, imo. Your attitude is still a big problem.

 

-1
Although addressed in your application, you have an attitude problem, and this is huge for staff. You are dealing with many people, and many times your attitude gets the best of you.

 

-1
Munke I'm sorry I'm giving you a -1 but as of right now its was I feel is necessary. We actually haven't verbally talked much, but based on your responses on the forums and In global, some/most of what your saying always comes off as defensive or intimidating. Although I'm giving you a -1 right now, doesn't mean I wont change my vote. I strongly believe you have the potential to become an amazing helper and with the right traits, further your position in staff.

Pros:
-Great App
-Active
-Speaking (You talk formally)
-honest(Although can be harsh, sometimes its necessary)

Cons:
-Harsh/very judging
-Very opinionated
-Defensive
-Not active of ts(could be time differences)
-On personal experiences, I had asked a question, which you answered but following that you had said a few things that came off as aggressive, which seemingly were intentional.

 

Pros:
-Can use words
-Plays meepcraft all day
Cons:
-All of my experiences with you have been horrible
-Demoted 2 times from not doing enough work
-Really annoying
-It's impossible for me to trust you
-Lots of attitude
-Never see you talking on ts the past 2 times I've been on
overall: +/- because all you do is play meepcraft
