When did you join Meepcraft? March 2014

Introduction: Hello, my name is Jesse and I am from Florida. Living the beach life is great, especially because I am a fish *cough cough*. Without the ocean water and Meepcraft I would have no life. I graduated high school (whoooo class of 2017!) and I now have some free time until college starts. I am going to attend a 4 year university and pursue a career in Real Estate Law. I enjoy eating, real estate, fishing, swimming and of course playing Meep!

Why should you be Helper? I should be helper because...
I have a great personality - Personalities are everywhere, they are all different. Some good and some bad. I like to say mine is more on the good side. I can be funny at times and I can be serious. I joke around and have fun but at the end of the day my work is done.

Work ethic - This one is hit or miss. Sometimes I can be lazy and do absolutely nothing and other times I can be up to speed and get a lot done. At the end of the day all my work gets done no matter how lazy I want to be.

Night Owl - so sometimes I play during the day and sometimes I don't stop playing and will play all night. This can be good because sometimes when I play there are no staff members online. This would allow me to regulate the server when most others are offline.

I know people - I know all the staff members and I pretty much like them all. I know the feeling may not be mutual but I am willing to work well with all the staff members and have a great attitude when doing so.

Listen - Do not judge me here but I actually do listen. Despite my global nonsense, when someone tells me to do something (work wise) I do it. If a higher staff member asked me to do a job I would get it done. If a co-helper asked me to help them out, I would do it.

What are your weaknesses? Politics - This is something I have tried so hard to work on. If politics get brought up nine times out of ten I am in the debate. I will try to move this to forums only and keep it clean when doing so.

Jokes - sometimes I can take a joke too far and that leads to cluelessklutz putting me in jail.

Arguments - sometimes I get into heated debates that do not end well. I will work on this.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: "I will hire Blue_Marlin no matter what you say" - Courtneyyy

Thank you

I'm just curious, what have you actually improved from your last app?

 

+1 Blue has an excellent personality, is very kind, and helpful. You have to get to know him as a person, not just from /g to understand why I say this.

 

Well... as crude as iitz put it, I have to agree. Seeing your forums interaction, you are definitely not a person fit for moderation.

I would hire blue. Even though he can be ridiculous in global, he has great potential and I belief this is an opportunity for him to help the entire community of meepcraft and also, " Make Meep Great Again ".

1+

+1 go marlin I think you would be a great staff member

 

if you can't act like someone over the age of 12 in the debates, you can't act like a staff member. Words can't even describe.

Based on your app alone:

This line in particular worries me, because this isn't how being staff works. You don't just get to be lazy when you want and do work when you want; staff work is time sensitive. If you don't do it, someone else will, and then you end up doing nothing. You can't just decide when you want to work as a staff member and when you don't.

If it's still an issue, that's the problem - if I, who haven't been back very long, can still see you bringing up politics in shout, that's a problem. Promises mean nothing - you should improve things before you apply, not after.

If your jokes get you in trouble, stop making them.

Again - it shouldn't be will, it should be worked on already. Staff members can't be seen getting angry at other users in /g or otherwise, they need to keep as cool a head as possible.

Your application in general is relatively short and full to the brim with filler words, redundancies, and irrelevant sentences. Your already short application would be much shorter if you removed everything you repeated, all the words or sentences that mean nothing, and everything that didn't need to be included. Multiple things you said contradicted themselves or outright stated why you wouldn't be a good Helper, such as admitting that you're lazy and that you still can't keep yourself out of arguments.



Now, you yourself; I find it difficult to trust someone who wilfully ignores all proof and sources given to them in debates without even posting their own sources and proof. It makes it difficult for me to believe that you'll be a staff member who can solve problems with a cool head and without belittling, arguing, or being biased in any way. You don't appear to have the ability to think critically about things you are told or situations, which also makes me feel that you are unlikely to be able to handle cases in which is becomes "he said", "she said", in an unbiased fashion. I also couldn't find a single example of you being helpful or honestly doing anything other than 'debating' on the forums.
Examples; regardless of whether or not it's in a debate or not, this type of behaviour is unbecoming and generally not personality traits you want in a staff member.

Belittling those who disagree with you and attempt to get you to understand their point of view is not something anyone who is applying for staff should do. You are supposed to be a role model.


TL; DR: Your application is short, you admitted yourself in it why you wouldn't be a good helper, and what I've seen of you makes me confident that you could not be an unbiased, cool-headed staff member that Meep needs.
