When did you join Meepcraft? March 16th, 2014

Introduction: I'm a simple man, with simple needs, who's always looking to make other lives happier. I have always found that I find a greater joy in making others happy than I do myself(which often leads me sacrificing a bit too much of myself for others). Don't get me wrong, I'm not a frolicking farie yelling out "nice spell for you, nice spell for you," I'm just generally nice to those I don't know or deserve it.

A little bit of history about myself. I have lived overseas for most of my life(I'm an American who has spent their entire life living in other countries). By living this way, I'm more welcoming to all sorts of cultures as well as food. Living first in Naples, Italy, then in Daugu, South Korea, then Baumholder, Germany, then Seoul, South Korea, and now Texas, San Antonio. I've truly lived a blessed life, though I'm sure this server doesn't really want to hear about my adventures in the countries I have visited.

As stated in the last paragraph, I'm currently living in San Antonio, Texas, going to University of Texas San Antonio for a degree in Computer Science. My classes are teaching me a range of new topics, such as Java Programming, C++ programming, how a computer works, Cybersecurity, ect.

I spend most of my time in UTSA either volunteering at the orphange nearby, learning new cooking techniques, or studying. When I get back to UTSA for my second semester, I'm going to be allocating at least two hours a day to studying for my degree. Thanks to my schedule, I should be free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Thanks to college repeatedly punching me in the gut with the fists of maturity, I have matured a great deal in the time I last applied for helper. It's been a long (and very painful) ride to re-apply for staff and I pray that meepcraft will give me another chance. I'm no longer (or at least I hope I'm not) the little demon brat from Hell that most of meepcraft hated.

Why should you be Helper? I would love to say that I had a magical adventure to get here, but I found meepcraft on accident. I wanted a place to almost "retire" from faction servers, and remembering the fun time I had on SavageRealms,(A server that is now gone) I wanted a towny server.

I want to become a helper for the simple reason that I want to help out this server. I want to be able to help those who come to this server through modreqs rather than through /msg or /shout. Though I'm nearly as qualified as some of the staff currently on the staff team, I do believe I'll prove useful to this server. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the next Jesus of this server, turning cups of players into brimming glasses of money, but I do believe I'll be able to increase the amount of players staying on this server.

Already I have given meebles to help citizens set up and mantain their towns (Part of the reason why I'm so poor with only 2 million), and am currently having a 50% success rate with them staying n this server. I do believe that meepcraft is in trouble(We've decreased in the amount of players playing meepcraft, none of us can deny that), and it's not really the staff's fault, but rather not enough staff to answer modreqs more effectively and quickly. Also, armed with Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Premier Pro, I should be able to assist in creating the advertisements for this server in the future (Still a bit rusty, but I should be back up and running on these programs in the next few weeks)

What are your weaknesses? I failed religious studies recently, mostly because all I worship is productivity *gives two thumbs up* No but really, one of my biggest weaknesses is the fact that I love (with a deep burning passion) to joke around whenever I can. However, I want to make the important point that I do have the ability to be mature when I need to. As demonstrated multiple times on teamspeak (and PeriHeika will be able to back me up on this fact) I have the ability to be mature.

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

 

Never seen you before, but you seem like a good guy to me. +1

 

Ban. Ads. Jk <3


Bruh bruh bruh, +1000000000

+Friendly
+Fun to be with
+Humorous
+Active
+Helpful
+Generous <3

Yep, I think you deserve a shot at this <3 (don't change tho, or you ded.)

 

Dragon8877, you're a hilarious guy. Some people might find this to be immature, but the way you go about your jokes makes you seem approachable and friendly. When I first met you, your humor is what had me bought on this friendship.
Dragon has what I would like to call the "wild-child" switch. He can be buisness when need be, but as soon as you give him the chance, he's a lost cause. You're a stress relief, and that's why I love to be around you.
However, you're a dragon. Dragons can be really cool pets to fly on and do tasks. They're highly intelligent and make great companions. However, if you make dragons distressed, they have enormous feats of strength. They breathe fire, and will eat you alive if given the right amount of anger.
What I mean is, you're a really cool guy, but I can imagine you scaring people who diss you. Not always a bad thing, because I know you have some super bad burns up your sleeve (not literally).

App was ok, could have been more persuading and organized.

Although you seem like you're up for the job, you need to show why you are different from other applicants. Just applying for helper because you want to "help" can be done even without the helper tag.

-/+, Swaying more to the plus side.

 

When I go on other apps I look and think "oh this guy should not get staff because so and so." Now I don't look on every app but this is one of the first apps that I think "why is this guy not staff already?" HUGE +1 (BTW we have a awesome staff team)

 

This is the first time I have heard or seen you but you seem like a great guy.

-Funny
-Mature
-Not Sure About Activity
-Nice App

Overall Its A Big +1

 

Hey, I find you to be mature and you should definitely be given a shot at interview. You are active, mature, honest, and you have very good grammar skills. +1 from me! (I live in San Antonio, TX too! My dad works at UTSA in the Math department too!)

 

Never seen you before but you seem like a nice person. +1

What happened with this? Why did this happen? Is this still an issue?

Other than that instance you've been pretty approachable apart from 1 other issue that was a long time ago.

I'm not going to leave a vote. I'd like to see more of you.

 

I find linking this is unnecessary of cause it is not an issue if he has now applies for helper.

It is a huge +1 for me Dragon!

You are willing to help players for example

You are a genuine guy that is very kind and would like to help the server.
If you don't know Dragon hop on teamspeak and have a chat!

 

Very qualified.
Mature
Active on teamspeak and ingame (could bump forums)
+1

 

Hello Dragon, I don't believe I've had a chance to meet you yet, but the community definitely seems to love you. Your application is very good and you seem like a great candidate, there are just some issues that I noticed. Muunkee actually pointed it out first, but the thread has been deleted so not sure if you can see it; You made a thread a few months ago that your account was hacked and you said you would delete your account to make a new one. Have you ensured that whoever got into your account last time isn't able to again? I think we're just curious because you never actually made a new account..

Also you said this:

Could you maybe explain why you feel differently now? Are you sure that with a college course load and a job you'll really have time to commit to the server? Also you said you have a temper in that post but didn't list it in your weaknesses section.. I'm just wondering whether you believe you've resolved your temper issues or..? Customer service is a big job of being a staff member and there are many many situations which patience and a calm temperament are basically required.

I'll give you a +0.5 for now because the community really loves you I'd just like some clarifications for a full +1

 

lmao.

Also, IDK if the rules are still the same, But back in the day, You were not allowed to edit your apps. And you have done this.
@Deljikho or another staff can confirm or correct this for me.
And now for the next bit.

I had half claimed a building for a friend (Bulit by StonedApe) and you came along and claimed within 3 plots, I then told you to remove it. After you didn't You then tore down the whole build just to annoy me. (You may say its because you needed the materials, But noone needs stone brick and Netherbrick, It hardly cost anything, I don't see why you had the need to be a jerk that day.

Anyway, This is one of the biggest -1's I've given in awhile.

Goodluck anyway.

 

Have you noticed, Deljikho, that the first D of dragon is now lowercase? This is a new account, or whoever hacked the old Dragon applied for a name change.

 

+1
I've seen you ig only a few times, but that might just be on my end.

After spending time with him ig, I can say that he is ready for staff.

 

Finally!! I give this a HUGE +1
+Nice

+Giving
+THIS IS WHAT STAFF NEEDS!!

 

I`ve only just met you but when I have seen you in global you seem active, nice, and helpful so +1
