When did you join Meepcraft? 2/26/14

Introduction: My name is _Peridonyx_, also known as Peridon, Peri (which commonly causes confusion between PeriHeika and I), and Madison. I am an avid Minecraft player (I play nearly every day) and a well-rounded student outside of the world of gaming. I am a 4.0 GPA student with leadership positions within my school’s STEM Robotics club (President) and teams (Student Mentor), as well as in Student Council (Leader of Fundraising Committee). I regularly perform community service (volunteering at the local library as a helper that shelves and organizes books, helps visitors with finding books, and keeps the library clean! I have completed over 150+ hours doing this since June 2015; a community service task I must complete as a member of Student Council). At school, I am usually the person (ehem.. nerdy girl) that people ask if they need help with anything related to mathematics, science, and technology (I have background coding experience, although unrelated to the position of which I am applying for XD). Outside of school (besides MeepCraft), I swim and surf/snowboard (depending on the time of year); I LOVE to design and 3D-print various objects, program, watch Steven Universe, Regular Show, and We Bare Bears, and ‘surf’ the Internet for anime and Steven Universe memes!

Why should you be Helper?

To start off, out of any Minecraft server that I have ever joined, MeepCraft has the most incredible, tight-knit community of players, who never miss an opportunity to make friends, to share good times together, and to help each other. Having a bad day? You can always make new friends on Meep that will brighten your day, guaranteed! I have made countless acquaintances and friends that I would have never even known about, had I not have joined MeepCraft nearly two years ago. I have found Meep as a way to help expand myself socially; I have encountered so many unique personalities through Meep that have broadened my perspective of the world. MeepCraft has definitely changed my life for the better, and it would be my absolute pleasure to help other users experience the warm and friendly vibe of MeepCraft.

Now.. Why should I be considered for the Helper position?

-Mature, but can be fun (a tad bit immature) at appropriate times: As stated, I can be friendly and fun at the right time and place; I can socially connect with other people pretty well, and I believe that I have what it takes to help make others feel as happy and joyful as I do when they chat on /g. However, I know clearly when serious business needs to be attended to, and I proceed to do so in a professional manner.

-Active: I consider myself to be pretty active on Meep, especially on the weekends when I don’t have anything school or extracurricular-related scheduled (take a look at my hours above). You will usually see me mostly on Minecraft and TeamSpeak throughout the day, but I usually spend the most time on the forums in the early morning and/or late afternoons (Pacific Standard Time Zone, of course! ), unless I am busy (or sleeping) at those times.

-Experienced: I am experienced with various aspects of MeepCraft, including but not limited to towny and plot commands (especially, being the owner of two metropolis towns myself), /warps and /pwarps, /tpa, one (maybe two) staff commands, the Meep economy, rank features and commands, the forums, and TeamSpeak. Whenever staff is unavailable and questions are asked in /g, I enjoy helping the people who ask questions, even if it means to put down whatever I am doing at the moment (no matter how important) and /tping to these people to help solve any problems, or just simply providing them with detailed answers through /g. I believe that if I was granted the position of Helper, I could help the users of MeepCraft in even greater ways, such as helping with /modreqs.

-Compassionate and Overall Kind: I consistently try my hardest to be as compassionate and kind to others on the server as possible; I have always had one motto that I have stuck with for much of my life: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”, specifically meaning that before I make any post for anything online (even a simple line of /g chat), I imagine what it would feel like if someone said the exact same thing to me, and this philosophy has worked out quite well for me. I will be completely honest: I realize that I did struggle with this in the past (one of my past weaknesses); however, I sincerely apologize for my past actions and firmly believe that I have 100% learned from these past mistakes, because I have seen how other people treat me back.

For example, as many of you have seen, I greet many people on MeepCraft with “Hello <3” and “\^o^/” or “Bye <3” (and “Hello” on TeamSpeak) to show that I care about when people are present on the server. I often do give people second chances at maintaining good relations with me, if they have made mistakes in the past, if it seems that they actually made legitimate mistakes. I try to spread my love of MeepCraft by hosting many drop parties in Spawn aimed towards Citizens and users who may not have as much stuff, giving away free plots in my towns to users, and sending kind messages and Meebles to people who need them. A little less important than the examples above, but I also try to spread cheer on TeamSpeak through tons of giggling and LAUGHING! (sometimes it gets so intense that I have to mute my microphone XD)

What are your weaknesses?

-Occasional immaturity on the server, forums, and TeamSpeak (but I realize when it is appropriate to make jokes, and what types of jokes are appropriate): As stated above, I can (and I do enjoy) occasionally be fun and immature, when the time is right to do so. I believe that this weakness can depend on multiple perspectives; one user may think that my occasional immaturity is funny as heck, but another may find it very annoying.

-Can be Too Trusting: On occasion I can place too much trust in people (for various reasons) and, as a result, I have been manipulated/betrayed at least a few times in the recent past, particularly with towny business. Currently, I try my absolute hardest to look for potential red flags when people do favors/give me stuff, but I always strive to be polite at the same time!

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know:

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: In all honesty, I still would (and currently do) love to help other players in the ways that I already do, even if I was denied the Helper position. However, this does not mean that I won’t ever apply for Helper again if I am denied. Because of that, please feel free to leave me any comments (positive and negative), questions, and especially CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!~ I would love to hear anything that you would like to suggest!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my Helper application.

 

depending on ur sig, u just got here about a mounth ago.
+0.5
+Your app seems nice
-your a tiny bit early for helper.
+seen u around alot

 

This was actually a solid application, and the weaknesses section actually showed that you put some thought into it instead of saying"sometimes immature" like most people.
I'm at a +1 right now, that was a pretty good application

 

+/-
I remember when you first started Meep I got this in my mail
But I think you've matured since then!
+Solid Application
-You don't really help in /g
+You're active
-You are never on ts.
But I will re-comment when I think you're ready, Good Luck! -SpanishSpider

 

Hey Other Peri!!!

I am going to be a +1 and heres why
Pros
Nice
Helpful

Cons
chat in /g more
more active on ts.
GOOD LUCK!! <3

 

I agree with @SpanishSpider, at first you were quite mean, especially to me.

But since then, I've gotten to know you better and you seem really nice. I think you should spend a little more time on MeepCraft before applying though.

+/-

 

I will leave +1 right now
I saw you cursing in parkour.

 

I thought you had a great app, it was easy to read and you were very thorough. I give a +1 owo goodluck!

 

+1 you are such a nice person and you are so helpful, you would be an amazing part of the staff team!

 

Hi, I think you need to work on your temper and attitude a bit before becoming staff. I see you enough, and you're active and somewhat helpful; however you often become defensive and argumentative, and I don't think I'd quite trust you to handle my modreqs.

 

Your app was very well written and looked as if you put thought and effort into it.
I haven't seen you too often on the server, but from what I have seen, you seem nice.
I haven't seen you talking much in /g, so that's something to work on, but otherwise my vote is +1.

 

Hey Madison!
You are one of my good friends on meep and you're always happy and positive, i've known you for quite a long time ish and i have never had a bad experience with you. You're always active and you literally use the most complicated smileys, (/\^^\/) i don't know how to make them.

Your application was well-thought and the exact length i would like an application to be, please don't add smileys, it makes you seem unprofessional and my attention was on the bright yellow smiley in the middle of a great application.

I feel like you have little experience and that you kind of rushed into applying for helper, however the rules/commands are easy and you will definitely learn them quick, but maybe take some time and get to know them better because nobody wants an unexperienced helper.

Cons:
You're still kind of unexperienced and it does a lot.
You're immature at times but you seem to know when to stop.

Pros:
You're such a sweet girl and you definitely have the best intentions and you're the kind of person that people would want to be around and talk to, and trust me not a lot of people are like you.

Honestly i think you could help more in total, yes you're helpful but you could do it even better!

+0,5
Good luck Madison

 

Hi guys,

Thank you all for your honest opinions so far!

-Peridonyx

 

Hey peridonyx I think your a positive person with no negative thoughts! So I'm giving you a +0.5 It's just that I never see you help!

 

Definitely a +1

• I've seen you on ts, and for the most part you're very nice
• Active on forums and posts alot
• App was pretty detailed

Good luck!

 

Peridonyx! Well, I met you a few times and you seem really nice! (Hence why I said to put me as a reference)! However I don't see you on /g a whole lot and not to much on ts. This being said I haven't seen you help anyone(Not saying you don't) in /g or ts. A player shouldn't start helping when they get helper, they should start helping because they wants what best for the server.

For now I have no vote, if I see you in-game or on ts, we can talk. Never the less good luck!

 

You have a very nice app, but overall I've literally only seen you comment on staff applications and like 2 other threads. Haven't seen you on TS of in game.

You also have a very... almost klutzy feel to you. You're cheerful, but cheerful to the point where it gets on my nerves. You seem pretty immature.

Right now I'll leave no vote. I know little about you other than this application.

 

+1

I think you're a sweet, nice person with good taste in anime. <3 Yes for me!

 

YESSS THANK YOU FOR APPLYING
+1 very nice and helpful!

 

I can't say that I know you extremely well, but i have now spoken to you and interacted with you on multiple occasions, and so far I have not one bad word to say about you. I think you would perform very well as a staff member, and your app shows that you have alot of qualifications on your side, from your school leadership roles to your work in community service - these are all things that show you are genuinely a nice person. Well presented, very polite, has taken leadership roles in school, and helps the community in real life. The only downside I see is activity, I dont really see you a lot but I am 99% sure that's because of time zones.

+ Application was amazingly well written.
+ Is extremely nice, and well mannered - both in-game and on team-speak.
+ Has just the amount of maturity you want to see in a staff member - not immature, but knows how to have a good laugh.

To conclude, I believe you would make an excellent helper, and are very very well qualified. Goodluck Peri!
