Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from Dawn

Earlier today on teamspeak you had your mic on, and wouldn't set it to push to talk, after many many people told you to.
Today proved that you don't handle situations well at all, and you're immature.
You suck up to staff, it seems like you only help because you want the title, and your attitude often shines through.
-1, I would never trust you with my modreq.

 

I don't know, Dawn, I really don't know. You are enthusiastic. You can be kind. Active? yes. Dedicated? Yes. Are you helpful? Somewhat. Can you take criticism? I am seeing that you're trying. I'm at a +/- to a -0.5 because I feel like as nice as you are to many people, you aren't mature enough. Often times you use too many shortcuts in typing, and one that bugs me the most is when you put "u" rather than "you." It's just two more letters. You have a tendency of using caps on the forums, like OMG and BFFL and all that. Also, you're extremely clingy to Spongey. As sweet as it is to see that you're showing so much affection towards her, it's post after post after post about loving her and when you guys will get married and all that. It's to the point of immaturity and nuisance. I understand that I was at that stage with Metr0. My entire Meep life was probably looking forward to seeing and talking to Metr0, and the burn when he didn't come online. At this point I'm at least a little more controlled. I'd like to see that from you too. You also possess a lot of sass and half the time you're on ts it's either talking about musicals or singing. Okay, okay, we get it. Chat with people a bit more instead. You have a beautiful voice, yes. But ts is meant more for conversations and connecting with people. Limit your singing to a minimum. Like, okay, chill, calm down, be a little more mature, and don't get angry too easily. That's about all I can say.

 

Dawn I'm going to have to -1.
-You're fun to be around, but I wouldn't say you're helpful. When we do projects together I really feel like I'm the only one doing them. I apologize if I make you feel like you can't do anything, but I've really been pushing you to finish our shop.
-I personally don't mind technical difficulties with Teamspeak, but it is clear that you're self-absorbed. I rarely hear you speak unless someone asks you to, or you're singing.
-I still don't think you understand certian ways the server operates. It has nothing to do with commands, but more of how people interact or requirements.
-Although it already was stated that reliance on friends is a weakness (and thank you for being honest) it also shows that you're not as willing to go out of your way to meet new people.
-I don't see the patience needed to become a staff member.
-The reason this application was edited was a bad one. You should know better by now.
-Many of your forum comments prove that you're either unknowing, or unintentionally rude. Try working on your people skills.
You're a cool friend, and a really lovable guy. I simply do not think you are ready to be a staff member.

 

You edited your application, which you should know is highly looked down upon. I don't really know you that well, but I don't find you mature and helpful at all. You seem to make problems with some people, especially if you're not listening to the community on Teamspeak. As staff, listening to the players is a big role. If you did that as a staff member, that would be completely unacceptable. The day you were gonna have an interview, every message you posted in global chat was how nervous and stuff you were about it. You seem like a person that is all about yourself, and by really others. I don't see you being helpful, especially in global. Your messages are rather immature for the most part. I believe you put what we want to hear in the application, and not exactly what is true.

Also, http://m.imgur.com/a/NGmxr. This is what you said after you were accepted for interview. You were getting close to being a staff member, and the fact that you would say that is just astonishing. Then the way you reacted after you were denied was even worse. You almost rage quit, and that really dimmed my reputation for you. Your attitude is not what a staff member's attitude should be, and I feel you would get mad and overreact often. I don't trust that you would handle hard situations well, and you wouldn't be able to handle annoying people and people that may give you trouble.

If you wait a few months and completely improve and change, I think you could possibly be a good staff member. But for now, I do not believe you would make a good staff member. -1

 

Hey dawn!
We've been friends for quite a while now and i have gotten to know you very well. A lot has changed since your last application, some of the better and some for the worse. When i saw your first application i didn't know wether to put -1 or +1 because i had never seen you before. At that time i choose to chat a bit with you before replying, i ended up with a +1 because of your first impression.
Now i'm not quite sure if i'm still a +1 because honestly you've done lots of stuff for me but not in any helpful way. I can imagine you as a helper and when i think about it, i see you as a lousy helper because right now, you never even try to help. You help people very little. You are able to help out a lot more than you do at the moment and i really want to see you help more.

There is no doubt that you are an awesome human but on team speak you may come off as alittle rude, here is why; you always sing(i don't really care) but you are most likely told to stop by other people and you never listen. You just keep singing and ignore the people who tell you to stop. This shows that you don't respect other people. And as mockingbae mentioned, you were told to switch your mic to push to talk because of all the background noices and you didn't do it which caused(as an example) me to get off team speak/move channels. You didn't handle on the issue, how are you gonna be able to handle on the issues you would get as a helper if you can't handle this one?
Besides that, your team speak activity is alright, i have only seen you on 3 times ever but that's something about my activity there.

In-game, you're chatty whenever you are on but then again, you don't help you just chat. Your temper is a little bad and reflects in the way you chat. Especially if someone is rude/insults a friend of yours, you go off and use swear words. That's why you were denied the last time, how did you improve on that?

-1
I don't feel like you're ready for helper anymore, a lot has changed since i first met you. But keep fighting the good fight, one day you'll be ready :]

When did you join Meepcraft? June 27th 2014

Introduction: Hey! Dawn here. I wont take too much of your time with introductions but here's a little bit about me beyond game.

My name is Alexander Thornhill (Xander if you prefer) I'm currently 15 and I'm a freshman in high school. While lots of other kids at my school take the regular courses (Physical Science and Algebra 1) Through extra tutoring and lots of work I have already completed Them and am in Ap Algebra II and Chemistry 1. I currently have a 3.9 cumulative GPA. But I do a lot more beyond school, because I believe my dreams are worth chasing. Particularly my dream of being a professional Oboeist

Music- I play tons of instruments, Oboe, Flute. Alto Sax, Tenor, Violin, and Piano. I also sing and write songs.

Service- I'm a Part of National Honors Society and I enjoy doing service for those In need (required 25 hours. Last year I did 35)

I have also received a 29 on my ACT as of recent.

In game- You probably know me because of my chatting in world and joking around in chat. Im a year and a half veteran. So I'm starting to see who's been here since my beginning on meep!!

Why should you be Helper? Now beyond the introductions I firmly believe I am ready for this position, and here's why.

Determination- Throughout my many years of playing Meepcraft I have intense determination to reach my goals.

Kind Heartedness- I try to be kind to everyone because that's exactly how everyone deserves to be treated. Nobody deserves to feel left out, threatened or anything that can be hurtful or very personal

Commands- While I do not know all of them, I know a vast quantity of them and try to help others out in chat as I see them.

Activity- While I am involved a lot at school, I always have time to come on Meepcraft for at least 4 hours a night, I'm on teamspeak mostly at night so you might not see me on TS as much as in game.

Loyalty- I am loyal to this server and is my only server I am active on, I will never leave because there is too much friendship and people who have made my life seem bright in the darkest of my days.

What are your weaknesses? Anger- This is something many people may have seen in chat. I can be angered on certain topics, and whenever I have gotten mad its been very hurtful to some people. But while I have been angry in chat I have resolved any conflicts I have faced because I have put myself in peoples shoes to see what it feels like, and its not right. I have not had any recent outbursts.

Homework- While I do not usually have homework, sometimes I have homework that can damage my availability on meepcraft, Also Tests in school.

Reliance on friends- During my time on meepcraft I have put a lot of reliance on my friends. If I was handling a modreq with them though, I will disregard any personal things I've had with them and deal with whatever they have done wrong, because there is no excuse to doing wrong on meep.
Maturity- I'm 15 so maturity can definitely be an issue at times. I crack jokes in chat and I love to use the <3 and ;-; in chat. While those are definitely immature I only use them whenever the time is right and don't use them in a serious matter.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I would LOVE for you to leave criticism on my post. I accept all commend that will help me become a great helper on meep if I am able to achieve it!
I have Jazz band on Tuesdays and NHS on Thursdays
