Introduction: Hello. Let's get something clear straight away. My IG name might be Y4cky, but it is pronounced as Jackie and you will get a small, unimportant +1 on my imaginary list for referring to me as Vlado, my real name. I have been on the server for something less than three months. My first month was mostly spent on the Skyblock world, the reason why I came to the server in the first place. The credits for my staying here should be given to all the amazing people I have met since. Well, anyways... Originally, I did not plan on getting involved with the Towny community at all. I liked my cozy island, but destiny was not kind to it and it had to go. I joined forces with a fellow Meeper and worked on a bigger, more advanced island. During that time I started planning/organizing my first little events. Soon, I realized what potential Towny has and made use of it as an environment for me to work in. I developed a certain fondness of the Parkour world and dedicated an unhealthy amount of time jumping around, making a Meeble here and there. At this moment, I am mostly to be found in the Creative world brainstorming ideas. If you are for some strange reasons interested in my real life, refer to this thread: http://www.meepcraft.com/threads/hurro.36948/
Why you should be Helper? The pleasure in Meepcraft, Minecraft and games in general for me is not in the sake of playing the game for my personal entertainment, but rather playing the game for the community, therefor I think the helper position is a perfect fit, while it is a representation of that sentiment.
During my school days, I used to organize and supervise mathcamps (Yay, fun) for kids/teenagers. I have been part of bigger gaming communities for a few years now, from which I always took a chunk of experience in the areas of organisation, community management, cool headed behaviour, while improving on the traits of respect and tolerance. The satisfaction in gaming was highly influenced by the player base, the atmosphere, the overall enjoyment. Nothing would delight me more, than seeing, that I left a mark behind, I made a difference, I shaped the community to a better one, contributed. Meepcraft is a perfect 'playground' to continue on this notion. I consider myself a decent shapping tool to be used on the 'playground'. Pardon the generality of the past two paragraphs, but I feel it had to be said that way.
The main reason, I decided to post an application, was to get more self-support in community events and assist players during the process of making them as a mean of distraction. At this moment, my main focus is on planning, building and testing areas for public events. It is something that I have been doing for a few years and is a never ending excitement for me. I do get a lot of spare time in the process of materializing my ideas and feel like I could fill it with doing something else than dully watching the screen and/or running in circles.
Whatever project/problem I take on, is my priority and I am dedicated to it. I am that type of person, who clears a cave to the last bit, even though he has double chests full of coal/iron. That type of person, who needs his resources to be organized and torches placed in a square grid 8 blocks apart. That type of person, who will spend his whole day solving a redstone/building problem, rather than using an easier work-around that does the job only partially. One could say, I am a perfectionist, but with a positive meaning.
I like to ask question, a lot of questions. During the 3 months on the server I have “asked“ my way to fully (sufficiently) understanding the server and its community – a necessity for a staff member.
What are your weaknesses? Language: Since English is not my first language, I tend to have problems with prunonciatoin (pun intended) and spelling. Sometimes a word decides to play the ‘blackout game‘, which might lead to an awkward situation or slow reactions. I do not consider it a big weakness, but certainly a nuisance.
Moody: Most of the time, I keep a calm and focused stance. There are a few things, though, that can disrupt it. I do get overjoyed or grumpy, which might seem as a sign of unprofessionality.
Teamspeak: I do not have a problem speaking, neither have I trouble understanding people. However, I have quite a shy personality and do talk only when addressed. If you are expecting to find me on Teamspeak, you will be disappointed, I am not on often.
PvP: I am not the biggest fan of Player vs. Player activities, do not excel at them and try to avoid them as much as I can. My lacking knowledge in this area might be an issue.
There is certainly room for improvement on a couple of aspects of my gameplay and behaviour, on which I would love to work.
Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: (Pretend this is a conclusion):
I have tried to be sincere and straightforward with my application to show you my true self. I believe, I have the necessary abilities, experiences and assumes to be a full-value Staff member. Time has been and IS a controversial topic for me as a future University student, nevertheless I do think I have the potential to do more with my time spent on Meepcraft and provide you with an extra pair of capable hands.
Thank you for reading, commenting and tolerating any grammatical imperfections and clichés you might notice.
