I'm not quite sure how to feel about this.
Pros:
-You'll be able to finish what you started, which would be incredibly and undeniably good for the server.
-A quicker integration into the staff team than most.
-Everyone likes you and sees an engrossing amount of potential.
Cons:
While my experience coding isn't long my creativity for development and ability to problem solve have allowed me to have some amazing creations for the server in the past.

-This is an open statement in the application admitting that the skills that a tech/dev need are not up to par. I have no idea what skill level anyone needs to be in order to be an adequate Tech, but I've always seen coding as the number one thing to look for in anyone who is applying for a position like this. I believe there should be a chance to prove this, especially due to this quote having good intentions in mind, however there needs to be more depth in order for me to believe this is a good thing.
-I'm not 100% sure if this is true or not, but there have been some silly posts around the server such as the old "troll" helper application (
http://meepcraft.com/threads/helper-application-from-xtpick44.58970/), and some concerns about things said in chat. While this thread was amusing, it makes me question the motives behind the wish to be a staff member in general.
-This comment is going to be personal, yet just as important.
When I joined Meepcraft and heard about the great and powerful reggles, I wanted to see him for myself. I'm not sure if it was the timing or what, but I've
never seen reggles as a caring, motivated, or leader-like individual. I've never quite understood the appeal in his personality. He resigned on a bad note as far as I'm concerned, and there was a gap where he seemed to have no interest in Meepcraft. Reggles has always seemed like a man who would let his friends get away with whatever they wanted, and will do whatever it takes to make himself sit on the throne.
I've never seen the appeal in someone who has always been so self-centered. Perhaps it is the timing, perhaps I did something reggles finds undesirable and therefore this is my viewpoint, or perhaps I have not made a large enough attempt to understand the motives behind the great and mighty reggles. There have been times that I may have been in the wrong during sessions where I am communicating with reggles, and perhaps I, for one reason or another, am a complete idiot. This does not change, however, the uneasy and unwelcoming sensations that shiver down my spine when I encounter this man, and therefore I will give a -1 for the reasons stated above.
I would not be surprised in the slightest if this application were to be accepted, and I sincerely give you my best wishes in becoming a tech. I understand that there will be many who will not agree with my point of view. I only wish for reggles to be seen in other lights, because no one is an angel.
