When did you join Meepcraft? 21st September 2015

Introduction: Hello, (It’s me) I’m SpongeyStar or Spongey, or Spongai, whichever you prefer. I’m 15 years old and live in New Zealand. I love to do Programming and aim for doing some sort of Engineering when I’m older. (probably Software Engineering) I can currently program in basic Python, HTML CSS, and a little of C++.

I’m not that sporty though I do want to start up a new sport in the next year. In my free time aside from Minecraft, I play on my scooter outside, read a book, or ‘try’ doing some baking!

I also joined Duke of Edinburgh, which is where you do a set skill, physical, and service item for a period of 3-6 months. I undertook programming for skill, badminton for physical, and looking after children at after school care. Duke of Edinburgh helps me with my confidence, for example when we did an 18km walk up a hill, I never thought I could do it. Shia la Beouf is right, just do it!

I will be entering Year 11 next year and will be taking up German, Digital Technology and Economics as well as the core subjects, Maths, English and Science. Next year is when we start having important exams that count for the start of University Entrance so I will be planning my time wisely between study and Meep.

Why should you be Helper? Now for the why. Yes, I am that person who applies way too many times. But why? Well look, the answer will be in the next few paragraphs. I just loved my experience as staff in April-May, whether it was learning new commands, meeting the staff members or just having a laugh with them in free time.

Let’s start with my activity in game. I have quite a ‘rare’ timezone. I’m pretty much a day ahead of most of you. Currently, it’s the holidays so I can get on whenever I want. But when school starts in 2 months I won’t be on as much, but that doesn’t mean I will never come on. When it’s around 7pm my time, there aren’t many helpers apart from paincakexx1997. You say there is staff only 24/7 so let’s make it a true statement. Like I said in my introduction I have exams on, but I will be planning my time wisely, allocating time for Meep. Now, my forums activity. If I’m not on the server, I will be on forums. Forums is a place I go to when I feel bored, can’t get onto the server, or just whenever. I’ll either be stalking (heh..), looking for Q&A to help in, or just talking in a convo. I feel I know my way around forums very well.

Work Ethic. Whenever I help people, and they say thank you in a happy manner, it makes me smile. I love the thrill of getting someone that help. I never let anyone hanging on their question and will either answer it or tell them to /modreq it. If I do get accepted, I will make sure I answer modreqs the best I can, with as much explanation as needed. The hundreds of new players joining each week need to be well cared for because if we don’t answer as many of their questions, they might leave.

Experience. As many of you know I was a staff member/helper around April. I was not my best, but I did try as hard as I could. I tried to remember as many of the commands as I could, and asked for help when I needed it. I feel like I should be given a second chance to prove I am a changed SpongeyStar.

Lastly, my dedication. I previously owned a town in Alpha, BikiniBottom. I held that up for a while then knew I had to move on, and so I passed it to another member. I also own a town in Beta, Natura. This town was given to me by Cookies713 who has left. I knew I had to prize the town even though she is gone, but I still keep the town upkeep up. Sometimes I feel like ‘Nah, I’ll build that later.’ That’s the worst feeling I could feel because I know I need to get things done when I need to, and can’t let things wait. And so now I have given my beta town to my alternative account and joined Premede, 2004grevous’ town. I have been a dedicated mayor/resident to all the towns I’ve joined so far. I also try to get in game as much as I can. If it’s nearing the end of the day and I haven’t been on Meep, I will get on at least to check the town and vote, and say hello. I just can’t bear not getting on Meep for a day, makes me feel like I’ve let myself down.

What are your weaknesses? Immaturity - I still have that immature buzz in me. When I’m with close friends on Meep I tend to let my immaturity loose, or if their is a funny topic or something in shout I also let loose. I try to control my immaturity since it’s been the weakness in all my applications, and reasons I’ve been denied. Of course I am still immature, but if accepted I will not let my immaturity strike again.

TeamSpeak - My parents don’t allow me to go on teamspeak, nor do they actually know about its existence. I respect their decision but try my best to find time to get on. If accepted, I will absolutely try to find a moment when I can get on and do an interview, whatever it takes. I’m also quite shy to speak to people who I haven’t seen in real life, but at school we do speeches each year so that can build up my confidence in public speaking.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I hope you take this application into consideration, and thank you in advance for those who read and posted a response. - Spongey

 

Commendable active on forums and in-game. The lack of ts isn't good..
Very helpful, and positive member of the community.
I have noticed a lot of improvement in your maturity level. I am impressed.
You are very dedicated, like gummibir was. But unlike him, I have actually seen you improve in my dealings with you, each time you apply and get feedback.
My vote is +1. I think you deserve another chance at being staff.

 

Thanks so much

 

Should not have been denied, I have every reason to +1.

 

Apply as many times, and I will approve as many times. You're a great friend, super helpful, and you should not have been denied previously. I think a lot of people can agree on this, as seen in your previous applications.
Give her a shot, staff. Please. Maybe helper not, but an interview seriously won't hurt anyone.
+1

 

+Active in game/forums(Improve Ts activity if possible)
+Helpful

+/- Mature when needed
Overall I am a +1, You deserve at least a chance at an interview =)
Good luck!
