When did you join Meepcraft? May 24, 2014

Introduction: Hello everyone! My name is Zoe and I have the Elite rank on Meep. I am a 12 year old girl currently living California with my parents and little brother. I enjoy mostly all sports including (but not limited to) soccer, basketball, and volleyball. I enjoy different hands-on activities/crafts, and online games like Minecraft. My favorite academic subject in school is science (physics/engineering) and my overall favorite is art (or PE,) my favorite ice cream flavor is Mocha Almond Fudge. In my free-time, I love hanging out with friends whether it be staying home and watching cooking shows, going to a movie, or flying across the country. I love it. it’s not where you go, but who you go with, that makes an experience special.

I have had many different experiences with leadership whether it be on a soccer/basketball team, being a counselor at summer camps, or even being a staff member on this server; I tend to take charge and try my best to keep my team happy/healthy. I have been on Meepcraft for 2 years, and during this, I have become very well-known throughout the community. I take part in in global conversations, and love chatting with players in game, and on teamspeak. I have been trying my best to give people who request it the help that they need from simple things like ‘I need to join a town,' to more complicated like ‘how do I maintain a town?’ I get such satisfaction out of the thanks I receive that it drives me to help more and more. I am younger than a lot of Meepers, but I'd like to think that I am a role model; I teach people rules, commands, and settle issues between players.

Why should you be Helper? I was a member of the staff team (I resigned because my schedule was being overcrowded, and I felt like I couldn’t be a helpful part of the team any longer,) and I was also for a short amount of time on a smaller, local server; both times I gave my 110% and helped whoever, whenever I could. Being on the staff team changes your perspective on the game. You are looked up to, you are who players turn to, and you feel so empowered by just answering a few questions and receiving thanks. At first, I had issues learning prism commands, and understanding the very complex ones, but eventually I picked up on it and was able to use them quickly and efficiently. I had so much fun during my time as staff, not only do I feel I succeeded in the job I had, I made tons of lasting friendships and memories that keep pulling me back.

I’ve been playing on Meepcraft for quite some time now, and during my time here, I have learned a large amount of commands. I know commands that help improve communications between players, commands that help players start and maintain towns/pwarps, commands to check to see who is online when, and commands to teleport to their wished destination. These might not seem spectacular, but these are the most common questions asked in global. I know many more that come in handy during other instances.

I have a very strong work ethic and whenever I am requested, I try my hardest to help; in simple ways, or more complex. My activity can be a little on-off at some points, with my wifi going down, using bad computers, or just getting my laptop taken away, but I will try to work around these obstacles and make sure that when I am on, I am contributing all that I can to keep players happy/satisfied with their experience.

I’ve been playing Meepcraft since mid 2014 so around 2 years, with breaks in between for school/sports. I usually become more active towards the end of the year when projects are ending and summer is nearly upon us. I play often throughout summer with occasional breaks for small vacations; so it is a very ideal time to spend on the staff team helping as more players join and others become more active. I love Meep and it’s community. The whole idea of the server is so well carved out. It’s not like most servers, as towny is apart of it. You can really connect with your town(s) whereas in other hub servers, that is not an option. Also, in other servers, the players are much more hostile/profane to one another, and here lots of us have created great bonds here with each other, that people stand up for one another, and help each other out. This aspect of the server is really appealing to me, and it’s something that keeps me eager to log onto. I am very involved in lots of Meep’s activities it offers. I talk within the server, contribute to forum discussions where I see fit, and have so much fun talking to people on teamspeak. wherever I go, though, I keep an eye out for people who have questions or need help.

Last time on the staff team, I took to checking out kitpvp whenever there was an absence of Modreqs because it was something lots of members at the time, didn’t pay much attention to; I circled ctf. to make sure nobody was afk, and then just kept an eye out for questions in global. I learned that it didn’t matter if a Modreq had been filed, you still had the duty to help players on the server. In other words, it’s not all about the modreq count, it’s about the satisfaction of the players; the satisfaction of the customers.

What are your weaknesses? It’s been mentioned in the past, but I’ll mention it once again; I do not have an unlimited amount of time per day I can be on my computer. I cannot be on all the time. The way I overcame this though, was simply by making the most out of the time I did have online. I never hesitated to claim a modreq, to help that player find a town. I just did it. I have an issue procrastinating and if I ever leave things unfinished or lacking, it stays in my mind and nags me to complete it. I guess you could say this isn’t much of an issue, but I still believe it should be here only because of the actual time I have to play.

I grazed on this above, but I resigned because of schedule overcrowding. I cannot guarantee this won’t happen again, but I know it won’t for a while. Around this time, soccer is winding down along with school (aside from a few projects) and I feel I will be able to use the amount of time I am supplied with to the fullest.

My maturity at times can be questionable; but I believe I know when to be mature and when to be serious. I am a 12 year old girl in middle school, so I won’t be totally sane all the time (or ever; maybe sane isn’t a good word) but the bottom line is I know when I need to enforce something, I can and will.

I am very prideful. I don’t let people tell me I’m wrong easily. I carry my head very high and I am embarrassed or angered when I am proved wrong or shown my flaws. In all honesty, that might be the reason why I have issues coming up with weaknesses. I usually don’t feel as bad if I respect the player(s) and I respect just about everyone on this server, so this shouldn’t get in the way.

Another issue I have is saying no. This is more of a personal weakness; but a weakness all the same. I was teleported to somebody asking for God armor, and guess what I did; I gave them full god armor for free. Twice. That’s a fair amount of money just thrown to someone who asked. However, I don’t think this will be a large obstacle for me on the staff team.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I love Meep; I have bonded with it. I have the skills and knowledge needed to become a productive member of the team, and I hope you think so aswell. If I am accepted, I will continue to learn along with the rest of the community, while teaching and sharing with others.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my application. Catch me (if we’re on at the same time) on our teamspeak channel if you ever want to talk! Also, if you have questions about my resignation, find details here

Notes about summer: I have two one-week overnight camps this summer where I don’t believe connection will be available.

 

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far! I really appreciate your kind words, they made my heart swell.

 

Accepted for interview!

 

zoe if this is true please ship me ? only then i will give u a vote?

+1, you never really stopped being a helper, only lost the title. There is no candidate right now who I would consider more likely to be accepted than you.

 

Dear Zoe,

I want to start off with saying; I don't think I've ever met a 12 year old who's more mature than you, or ever will. I'm so happy that MeepCraft continues to be a passion of yours and am excited to see you once again excel on the Staff Team. You never treat anyone with ill intentions and have such a positive attitude about everything, I know you'll make it far in life.

Just remember to take some time aside for yourself aswell as soccer, school, and staffing on Meep. Take a walk, play at the park with your friends, anything. You're a beautiful, intelligent young lady. Dedicated, passionate, responsible, persistant, and all of the above. Keep it up, I'm proud of you!

With love, Tae

 

-1 this little woman of only 12 years steals the good grey and blue fish. She should not be helper otherwise she will mod abuse perms steal fish too.

 

+1, I never usually comment but i have to make a exception for this one. Zoe is so experienced, she is the kind of person that can see the positive in a bad situation and keep the team spirit high. She knows how to deal with situations and she will be a boost for the team.

Good luck Zoe, i hope you get a interview

Have a nice day

+1
Why not, you were a great staff and probably will be a great staff again.

 

I don't bother to comment unless I know they shall do a great job. +1
Except for the chat about the nonbinary identities nonsense on ts.

 

+1 honestly you've never stopped helping players so lets give you your title back
The team will be lucky to have you
Nothing else to say but best of luck

 

I'm not quite sure what to say, so I'll keep it short.

You were a great staff member your last time around, and never fail to radiate an aura of positivity.

+1, just bypass the interview at this point.

 

Hi Zoe.
I deleted my last comment because i realized it wasn't really thorough enough and i didnt put time into what i was saying, i am at a +1 and here is why.

Zoe, there are many 12 year olds out there and honestly when you said you were 12 i was really shocked. You are extremely unique and everything you do is so special and charictaristicly amazing for someone of your age. And i am going to list the things i look for in helper candidates and why you apply to all of them
Empathetical- I've had my ups and downs as a staff member, and people have critisised me, emotionally you have guided me to be the person i believe i have become, and i appreciate that. You dont let people get you down, but you understand people's feelings and how certain things will affect those certain people. I really like that about you.
Mature- While you are really giggly on teamspeak you can be serious when needed. Every time i have needed help with something you have thought about what ive said and processed it, and told me very well exactly what i needed to do, this application also shows this.
Connectivity in the community- You certainly arent shy and are oh so sweet every time you speak to me and people in global
Helpfulness- Ever since you came back you've always helped in global, in message, and still know the expectations of a staff member. You've helped me a lot since i became staff and i partially believe your help helped me get to my goal.

My personal expierences with you have been nothing but great, and i have no doubts that you will be a great helper, mod, and maybe even smod. You are such a wonderful girl and you constantly make me feel involved in the community and bring a smile to my face every day. I've held off making this because you need to know that you are one of the strongest candidates and positive influences in this very close knit community. Whether im making /astools with you. Talking about music and insulting each other about it. Or you being disgusted by taylor swift and making me sad. You are one of my best friends and im so glad i get to know you. Stay unique and on the right path because you certainly are destined to succeed with your optimistic view on life.
Stay fresh, You're fantastic
Even if you dont like taylor swift
You'll always have a friend in me.
+1. ask me if you need help or have questions. Have a lovely night/day

 

Huge +1

Not accepting Zoe would be a big mistake by the staff team. Not only did she do her job well, but with a great additude and a funny, kind personality. She has maturity beyond her years, and knows rules/commands. Good luck

 

At last hehe.
You are really mature, helpful, nice to everyone and fun to hang out with. As Muunkee said I cant really see anything negative
Good luck!

 

+1 simply because you're an outstanding person in the community, always positive, helpful, mature, lovely to talk to all the time.

I see honestly no negatives, especially not enough to change my vote lower.

Excellent addition to the team.

 

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW!!

+1. Zoe, you're literally the sweetest person ever and you're so mature and helpful. You are so positive and I can't help but smile whenever you send me a message. You are very capable of holding this position, as you have proved in the past.

 

For some reason my last comment wasn't accepted? lol, I'll try again


You are like the perfect example of a by-the-book staff member. You always brighten up the server, and I'm sure you'd brighten up the staff team too. +1

 

+1 I love you
you always were on top of modreqs and enthusiastically went hunting down hackers, and whenever you entered teamspeak you brightened up the room a lot and made everyone laugh. I loved you on the team and did look up to you a bit as an exemplary member of it. I hope they give you a shot and let you brighten up this team too!
