Introduction:
Greetings my name is Colonels64. I'm currently a Supreme on Meepcraft and have been playing for a little more than a year. I really enjoy playing Meepcraft, and I would like to have another try at being staff. I was first accepted for staff about a year ago and was Helper for a few months before I resigned myself due to lack of playing time and issues caused by my IRL matters that were going on at that time. The link for my first Helper App is: http://meepcraft.com/threads/colonels64s-helper-application.5556/#post-63193
Why you should be Helper/Mod?
Whether it's in real life or in game I always find myself helping people. I enjoy Meepcraft a lot, but I want a 2nd chance at staff again so that I can do more than just play the server. I want to help the other players on a higher level than just answering the common command or towns questions newer players ask in global chat. I feel like I did my job efficiently when I was first a Helper. I constantly found myself on Modreqs learning new ways to solve problems or teaching newer players our server rules because their lack of knowledge caused a problem/misunderstanding. Between the time I resigned from staff to present day I feel like I have further developed my work ethic, problem solving, multi-tasking, and management skills thanks to my recent jobs IRL that I could transfer into my job as Helper.
Weaknesses:
During my first Helper term I feel like I constantly beat myself up over any mistake I made as staff sense I held myself to the "Need to be Perfect" expectation sense I was now representing more than just myself when helping other players. I would also feel like I wasn't that good at being staff sense I would constantly ask for confirmation on server rules with other staff or ask for help before issuing a punishment when needed. To explain that a little further I didn't want to, for example, give the incorrect time of /tempban for the rule they broke sense I was holding myself to the be perfect expectation. With my jobs I've had IRL I've learned to be more self confident in my knowledge and judgment skills. I also have learned to realize that no one is perfect and other staff will ask questions too, just because I only hear myself ask questions doesn't mean others aren't asking questions too which was one of my problems with giving myself the be perfect expectation while I was still staff.
Conclusion:
In conclusion I feel like I've made a lot of progress with my skills and character as a person to complete the job requirements of a Helper more efficiently and effectively. For the staff that remember me when I was Helper I apologize for resigning back then with little notice prior to doing so. I was leaving for IRL reasons which I believe is acceptable for resignation, but looking back on it I realize just how childish I seemed from other staff members point of view with how I went about resigning. If you hold that against me I completely understand, but I would like to assure you that I've developed quite a bit over the past year to where I wouldn't do such a thing again. As I've already stated I have developed over this past year or so into a more mature and responsible adult, and I feel I can complete this job as Helper better than my first run as staff. If you give me such a chance I would be very grateful, and wouldn't let you down. Thank you for taking the time to read my application, and I can't wait for your reply. Also any feedback by other non-staff that read this post would be appreciated.
