Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from MegaStufOreo

To be honest, I saw this coming from a mile away. While you're fairly pleasant and decently helpful, I think you're trying too hard for the position. You're constantly mini-modding in /g (to the point where you've become an annoyance. Attempting to enforce rules before you actually get staff isn't really something we need to be seeing, as we have enough staff to actually enforce rules; it seems as if you mini-mod to try to show us you can be an effective staff or something.

There's a difference between "being annoyed with rule breakers" because they willfully diminish others' experiences for the sake of furthering their own, and constantly saying "___, please do not caps-evade" AFTER a helper has already warned the guy. Similarly, oftentimes if someone asks a question in shout and someone beats you to the answer, you'll be like "^." What exactly does a ^ contribute? It's better to not say anything at all.

You really can't bend yourself or put on a mask to get staff--your true personality needs to be compatible with the atmosphere of the staff team. If it's not, sooner or later your real attitude will show, and will likely result in a demotion. Besides, you won't enjoy it either--trust me.

Introduction: Hey, so here's a little bit about me. My name is Ian, and I'm 14 years old. I'll be honest, I'm not normal, and I embrace that as a gift. Being different is something I'm proud of, as I stand out among others. I regard to myself as a jolly and silly person who is capable of being mature when necessary. I always try to be kind to people, as everyone is fighting an internal battle I know nothing about. This summer, I'll be working in a computer store, fixing them, building them, all sorts of neat stuff. I'll also be working at a day camp as a CIT, dealing with smaller children, around age 8. I'm on the verge of moving from Middle School from High School. I participate in a few extra-cirricular activities, including soccer and rowing, which both recently ended seasons. Aside from that, I do my best to remain involved with my community and peers. I believe that leadership among your peers is a charitable quality without being arrogant. In my 3+ years of being involved in the Meepcraft community, I believe that I have learned a few things about the server.

Why should you be Helper? Before I joined the Meep community, I usually just hopped from one server to another, hoping one day I would find one that's worth sticking to. One day, I found Meep. I immediately knew it was something different, that it had something else that servers didn't have. It wasn't one of those servers where you meet someone, play a minigame with them for a while, then never see them again. It was a community, where you could adapt and play a part on the server.I immediately knew it was the server for me, so I decided to stay. I believe that Meep has helped me grow and mature, and make me a much more respectable player. And throughout these few years, I've learned quite a bit about the server. I know commands, and a lot about the players and community as a whole, which is one reason why I believe I would make a suitable fit as a staff member of the server. Being the current owner of a beta town and some previous others, I have learned to deal with new players. I do my best to introduce them to the server and help them with any commands or anything else they need. Another reason is my work with different kinds of people. I love to work with kids, which makes up a large portion of the young players of Meep. I also have dealt with kids with personality differences, such as excessive anger and/or a tendency to be "toxic". I've learned how to deal with these types of people as I treat anyone else, as kindly as they allow me. Another reason I believe I would make a suitable staff member is my responsibility. When I am faced with a task, I get it done as fast as possible. I don't procrastinate until the last possible minute to get it done hastily. I get it done with efficiency and speed. Another reason I believe I'm staff material is my attentiveness. I'm always paying attention to the chat, so, for say, if someone broke a rule in chat, I would be able to take action. I also believe that my hours online would be ideal to the server's goal of having staff on 24/7. Yes, I do understand we have many staff in the US. However, on the weekends which will soon turn into almost every night due to summer, I stay up to 1 or 2, sometimes even 3am. At this time, not many staff are on, which leaves a gap for players to break the rules.

What are your weaknesses? Everyone has weaknesses, and I'm not going to sugarcoat myself and say I'm perfect. My first weakness is irritation. I get irritated a bit much when I see people breaking the rules. It just makes me annoyed how people are willing to ruin others' experiences in order to get something for themselves. I also get annoyed with trolls, which falls under a similar category. They just get on my nerves. I understand these weaknesses and everyday I work towards moving passed them.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: As I have stated above, I want to thank meep for everything it has done for me. It has helped me to become a better person and is to thank for many life lessons I have learned these past years. I want to Meep prosper, and will always do my best to help, even without a staff rank. If you have any questions or comments, please state them below, as I really appreciate constructive criticism. YOu can also reach me in a private forums convo, Teamspeak, in game, or on skype. (megastuforeomc)

 

I have nothing against you.

You haven't really contributed anything and I honestly only saw you say a few lines in shout or nothing at all.

Talking within this server is crucial in the making of a staff member.

If you just came back - what's the point in applying? Are you impatient enough to not take the time to ingest everything?

I'm a -1 for now

edit: spelling errors summer is making me stupid
