Introduction: Hello, my name is Dan but I am known throughout the community by Kazarkas. I am 23 years of age and I am currently in my third year of Pharmacy School. First off, writing is certainly not my strong suite so please excuse any 8th grade level grammatical mistakes. I will not tell you a life story because no one really wants to hear it, so I will get into the sections of the application that are relevant to servicing the server and its community.

Why should you be Helper? I believe I posses the qualities to be an exceptional helper and much more if I am given the opportunity. That being said, let's get into my experience on this server, my personal work ethic, and some other traits that I believe would make me an excellent staff member.

Experience: Since I joined this server I had the desire to become a staff member. I think I eventually applied for moderator in 2012 and quickly climbed the ranks within the staff team. I became known as the Xray finder/Duper finder and would routinely catch players using such exploits before all these fancy plug-ins were given to staff to accomplish such tasks. I will admit prior to my tenure on Meepcraft I routinely xrayed and used exploits. Simply put, I know the mind of a cheater and can identify them with ease. All that aside, I eventually assumed the rank of "PRR" which was the highest rank assigned to a staff member after the admin tag was taken away. As PRR it was my duty to manage the staff team that consisted of around 40 players at a time when the server consistently had over 400 people online. My duties also included handling donations as a tech intentionally broke our automated system of upgrading players when purchasing ranks. Simply put, I think I have sufficient experience as former staff that qualifies me for this position.

Work Ethic: In addition to excellent experience as staff on the server, I have a strong work ethic. No one gets through a doctoral program with a horrible work ethic and I am currently on my last semester of course work before going on clinical rotations for a year. I understand what it means to get a job done and do it professionally. I am forced to work in an environment in which you are dealing with very upset and sick people, and it is imperative that I maintain respectful and dedicated to excellent service despite a negative attitude on the other end.

Dedication: I would say I am one of the more dedicated members of this community. I joined back in February 2012 after the server went public and haven't looked back since. Sure, Meepcraft has had its ups and downs with different partners but I have always stuck around. I have somewhat of an emotional connection with this server as I have seen it go from a server hosted on Fuzzlr's personal computer to one of the largest towny servers eclipsing the 1000 player mark. Meepcraft is really the only server I have ever dedicated myself to and I wish to continue that as I see the server moving in the right direction.

Involvement: I have always been involved in this community to some extent. I am extremely active on the forums and active in game when I can be given my course load (19 credits of pharmacy courses). I am an intelligent person and I am quite confident I can balance my course load with server responsibilities.

Performance: As stated above I have been former staff numerous times and I have held ranks above the level of helper. Most people that have worked with me on the staff team would agree I was a good staff member. I am perfectly capable of carrying out the duties of a helper.

What are your weaknesses? I can personally say that I do have some weaknesses when it comes to being staff. We can all agree that no one in this world is perfect so I am indeed inherently flawed.

I have acquired the reputation as a "troll" during my tenure on the server given my sarcastic responses to some but as staff I understand you must give up the title of a troll and represent the server in a professional manner.

I have had my differences with a couple players, especially people that are known as "psuedocorp" due to their inflated egos but I can put my personal vendettas aside and treat these players respectfully in game if I were to assume the title of helper.

I am also a bit rough around the edges when it comes to Minecraft but I am a quick learner. After learning about the reset I came back and I wouldn't say commands are a big problem for me anymore. I am well acquainted with towny commands etc.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: That pretty much sums it up guys, I appreciate the time you spent reading my application and it would be an honor to join the staff team.

 

Hmmmmm

Hard choice.

I really think you get a little mad too easy, and that's pretty bad, kinda like me. I think if you chilled down a bit you'd be even better. However, at this time I'm ready to +1 you. I talked with you the other day and I saw your kindness, dedication, and care in a simple 15 conversation. I do think you've changed, and are a suitable candidate at this time. Good luck!!

 

Absolutely +1
You are the best xray catcher ever and have more than enough experience. Plus you are a good dude

You rage quit staff last time but no one in their right mind can blame you

Good luck! +1 for admin

 

+1 you have played for a long time which means you would have had heaps of experience

 

Didn't think you'd ever reapply after Quaddy banned you.

+1

 

+1

 

Do me a favor, if you get a staff position, continue to troll people with inflated egos. It's the best thing you can do. Ok, thanks, bye.

 

-1 ban this kid

jk. +1

 

+1 best staff member in history & better candidate than any of the current staff members.

 

Bro, we don't want Klutch to get salty. Keep that on the DL.

 

+1, great staff member that has been consistent in all the years that I've seen him.

PS: Kaz I miss the old pic of you on the boat

 

screw staff team get this person admin and fire the rest +1

 

I have a man crush on Reggles tho

 

-1, but really +1 skip Helper and take Admin. You are by far the most knowledgeable and intelligent person that bring meep back to it's original focus: Towny. You understand the focus of the server and can take it to where it needs to go. I hope that the staff make the wise decision of not only adding you to the staff team but taking your opinion to heart.

Good luck!

 

I was only there to see the shortest term of staff where quadd banned you.good times.
+1 simply because theres no reason why not.

 

who doesn't,?

 

Hey so, Kazarkas

I do see that you are knowledgeable and very experienced, which is an excellent quality in a staff member. Your grammar can be problematic but you had only minor errors and that does not change my position. You have a good work ethic and somewhat easy to talk to. However, like other old players, I don't really find you reaching out to other aspects of the community, for instance, new players like myself. I know that you just came back with a reset, and I think that it could be given a little more time, but who knows. To be honest, I don't really know you but I do think that your application is well wrotten! So thank you for that.

I'm not going to leave a vote here since I do not have sufficient information. I recommend you to take time to interact with the community and get used to the "new meep". I do wish to talk to you privately sooner or later. Good luck!

 

WELCOME TO MEEPCRAFT.COM
Jk I know what you mean natsu


Seriously though, I agree on what natsu said. Get to know the new rules of the game, help out a few members, and try not to go full troll mode. At right now I'm at a +0.5 as you appear to be an experienced "hacker catcher"

Good luck with your application!

 

Nice one reggles44

 

roogles is back from the dead

i remember you from old meep and I'm sure you will do a good job, but i would recommend playing on the new meep for a while before you get accepted. +0.5
