Introduction: Hi there!
I’m known as Riri on Meep, but you can call me rehreh, ricerice, El Nooberino or just Lucas. I turned sixteen in June of 2017, so I’m still pretty young.
I’m studying biochemistry in Geneva, where I live, with hopes of becoming a doctor in the next few years. The town and country are the best I could ever have had!
I actually live in an old medieval city near Geneva. The weather is pretty much rainy, rainy and more rain, but we find fun where we can. My friends and I work night shifts in a nightclub owned by a common friend of ours’ dad. We’re supposed to be in charge of checking ID cards, but the job mostly includes laying around and lounging in the back room. Switzerland is a great country; we have nice people, nice food and slack laws!
Now to minecraft.
I started playing minecraft when it came out, 2011 or 2012, and I remember it being absolutely sick. The first few months was just discovery, everything possible in-game blew me away. After having “mastered” single player, it became boring. So a new adventure started: finding a decent, long term and child appropriate server (at this time I was only twelve).
I then stumbled upon Meepcraft on a minecraft forum or another website, with the tags “Parkour”, “Towny” and some others. Being the parkour addict that I am, I obviously gave it a try. It was awesome. After completing the City parkour, I asked my brothers to come and help me build a plot in towny, and that was the start of a great time on Meepcraft.
We went from town to town, building stuff and getting known in the community with which we fell in love. We were known as the three thirties, as all our in-game names ended with a “30”, tradition which I still kept.

Why should you be Helper? First off, I’m a laid back person, and I feel I have a great connection and interaction with the fabulous community within which I’ve made great friends all while keeping focused on my work. I enjoy being fun and playful and truly love welcoming newcomers as well as helping them out as best I can, but do not hesitate when a punishment is needed, and I do not make biased decisions.
Before anything else, Meep, or minecraft in general, is for me a hobby. My studies always come first, no matter what circumstance. But I can however dedicate many hours per day to Meepcraft.
Then, I think that my experience in the matter makes me suitable. I am well aware of all the punishments and rules that Meep has, and I am confident I can enforce them.
I know all prism, towny and other commands a helper is supposed to know, and am able to keep a pretty decent modreq count, all while keeping a good relationship with the community, which for me, is the most important part of the Helper position, as I think they should be as interactive as possible.
I also am active on discord, though I don't write much, forums, and teamspeak. I like sharing my thoughts openly, and listening to other people’s thoughts, talking to them or even just reading the memes channel on discord (read it, laughs guaranteed).
As for criticism, I genuinely have grown to take it positively and use it to improve myself. I know how to admit when I have made a mistake, like I have done several times (ie. saying something which wasn’t correct) and know how to apologize as well as correct myself.
Now, the for the time zone.
I get to see the other side of Meep, like Mister Kling. There sure are much less people, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need moderation. I think I fit in well last time in terms of time zone, and think I’d be a fit this time, if I was to get accepted, too.
As for the work ethics, when I do something, I do it good. I don’t finish it half way, and am determined to complete something to the best of my abilities.
When someone needs defense, I do not hide behind my beliefs, but stand up for them until the very last moment, as I did.
I have also taken leadership classes at the famous IMD university of Lausanne, hoping it would make a great addition to my resume for college.
I have learnt how to make choices, what they’ll influence, by following the “terrorist negotiations” class since 4 months. In that short time, I have learnt to act calmly and be understanding while searching for solutions, as well as not saying things twice, so making a first sentence as complete and clear as possible.

What are your weaknesses? I speak my mind often, and think after. This has never caused too much of a problem, as I never post anything inappropriate, but can sometimes be extremely random and out of the subject. Though since a few months, this hasn’t been an issue, and I’ve been working on it.
I also tend to speak to fill in the blank space, and can say stupid stuff.
Being a laid back person, I sometimes can come out as immature. I think that this is something perceived negatively by many, though I always try my best not to mix fun and games with duty.
I am also immature. Not too bad, but I can come off as slightly childish sometimes.
Lastly, my english grammar ain’t great, as we only learn french writing in school. I am fluently orally, so I don’t have much problem formulating stuff, but when it comes to typing when I don’t have auto-correct on like here, it becomes a little complicated but nevertheless understandable.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I am certain my demotion will be questioned here or in my interview, if I end up getting one.
So let’s clear some stuff up.
It’s a demotion, not a resignation, which isn’t the greatest thing when someone plans one reapplying. Long story short, I said the wrong thing to the wrong person.
I have learned from my mistakes, and definitely understood them.
If you have any question regarding my demotion, my application or about me, I’ll try to answer them to the best of my possibilities. Mail me in-game, on discord or on forums.

 

Nice app, +1

 

To start off, you know exactly what I did, as you were the one to whom I sent what I leaked.
When I did, I thought it would help you out, but have genuinely learned not to share staff information, as small as it may seem. Look where I’m at now; I’m not careless enough to make the same mistake twice.
Now for the proof, the only way I can really prove myself is through actions, as you said.
Besides joining the team again and doing a good job, how do you suggest I do so?

 

+1
You are mature, very helpful to newer and old players, and a lot of fun to talk too. Not only are you in a great time zone, but I felt you were good at moderating global chat and handling situations.

 

YES! I have been waiting for this!

You have helped me before, and you did it with much grace, and you knew exactly what you were doing!

 

Great staff member before and you can be a great one again! +1

 

You suit the job description perfectly. Friendly in global, happy to give a hand to anyone else. I understand we had a small misunderstanding a short while ago, but I was at fault and I apologize. I would definitely like to work with you in the near future.

You know what you're doing. +1.

 

I'm not sure why you would want to be apart of MeepStaff when they demoted you for such a petty reason.

I don't think that Meep currently needs any more staff members but if you were put on a waitlist or something then that would be cool. -/+ vote

 

Hi hunny bunch/reh reh,

You are perfect for this job; you have past experience of being staff so will be able to get straight back into it again, very friendly with all players in global and a great player in general! However, you do have the demotion looming over your head and it was only recently that it happened. But I can see that you are actively trying to amend your mistakes and learn from them!!

My vote is staying at +/- as I know you'll do great if you have the opportunity again but I'm unsure if applying at this point is too soon however little the mistake was.

 

Nah, I was in the wrong 100%, and deserved a demote, that isn’t questionable. It would have set a bad example for others in the team, and it couldn’t have been let slip.
I agree the staff team is at a pretty good size, but once again, my timezone’s an advantage. I’m usually and early waker, and play around 7am to 8am GMT+1, when usually no other staff is online. I then play (I should do some other healthier activities, agreed) some 2 or 3 more hours in the night time, which makes me available almost 12 hours a day.

Thanks for your vote!

 

Coming from someone who often says stuff without thinking, I know exactly how you feel. People think that things like these are too big to be forgiven, and if it was on purpose then that is probably true. But I know from experience that things can slip and I don't think that an act of carelessness is worth not being staff again. You were a great staff member before, and I think you'd make an even better one now that you've learned from your mistakes. +1

I don’t doubt your abilties.

If you were to jump back in again, it’s just a matter of thinking a little bit more but I don’t think doing so demands much. I’ve gotten to know you over the past few months, and you’re a geniunely fun person to be around. There are few people who can start a conversation and can make you feel like you’ve known them for forever. You’ve also managed to get me out of tight spots sometimes. It’s just a good idea to think things through before doing things. Because trust me, I’ve gone through enough experiences to remember to do it. . .

Good Luck!!!!

 

Talked in game, I generally do not wish for anybody that leaks to be let back into the staff team. You could've explained some things a bit more clearly than long story short.

Please keep in mind that I don't have anything against you personally, but I just do not see you as qualified for a staff position.

+1 always was helpful. As far as what you did, literally everyone on meep has impulse control issues. Me included for sure.

 

I literally have not met a single staff member that does not leak one way or another.

+1 man youre okay

 

Good luck man! I was told applications are closed tomorrow? Or no?

 

Thanks bud.
I think they’re supposed to be closed today.
