Introduction: Hey, my name is SpongeyStar. I’m a 15 year old girl from New Zealand. I enjoy playing Badminton and Basketball. I also watch quite a bit of Spongebob in my free time and play Minecraft. I am in my 11th year of school and I love to do computer programming and aim to become a software engineer when older (and can currently program in basic Python, HTML CSS, and a little of C++).
Why should you be Helper? So as most of you know I was previously a Helper/Moderator on Meep. That was my second time as staff and I learnt so much on that run. I resigned because school was getting really busy and I wasn’t focusing on school work as much since I was busy on Meep. I also didn’t learn how to use my time wisely and ended up playing Meep right before I go to bed and even straight after I wake up, which means I didn’t get much of a good sleep. It may have not been long since I resigned but now, I have spread out my time efficiently and I’d love to join the team again.
Experience: I learnt so much at my time as staff. My knowledge of prism has grown and I am more confident in catching and recording hackers. I can deal with griefing and other situations much better. Sometimes I felt as though I had a heavy load on my back, for example doing a hacking case with various alts who have been banned multiple times. I kept trugging on but if this ever becomes an issue I will ask for help.
Activity: I have learnt to spread my time out. Currently, being the 2 week break, I can get in game more often than in school time. But even with school I will allocate at least an hour to moderate the server. Whenever I am in game I try to be as active as I can in shout and also help out if someone asks a question. As for forums, I am pretty much on it whenever I’m not in game. I’ll either be stalking someones profile, taking part in discussions or just browsing through.
Dedication: I have been on this server since September 2014. Ever since, it has been a server I loved. Even if I forced myself to never come back, I wouldn’t hold it in. I come on at least every day to check on my town and how people are going. I try to think positive to get things done, and also think about the outcomes if I do get something done so I can keep myself motivated and stick to the task, not to slack off.
Work Ethic: Whenever I help someone, it makes me feel very happy. Even when I receive a message saying ‘thank you’ or ‘it works, thanks for helping’ it brings a smile to my face. I could say I am quite diligent in class and always get my work done, and plan to do the same here.
I have also only been banned once, for being afk in Infected.
If time ever becomes an issue for me, I will always find a way and try not to leave the team. :)
What are your weaknesses? I have come across a few weaknesses while I was staff previously.
Patience: The majority of people I banned I didn’t actually think it through. I banned them too fast. For cases like griefing, some were very minor but I banned anyways. I should have talked to the player first to come at an agreement rather than just ban ban ban.
Immaturity: I feel I’ve improved much on my maturity, however I do find times when I am around close friends I let myself lose and I will make sure this does not happen again because I do not want the community to feel they have immature staff.
Teamspeak activity: I have addressed this issue multiple times, but a brief rundown is that my parents do not allow me to go on teamspeak (more or less they don’t know what it is) so I am limited as to when I can go on. However I try to get on and at least listen in.
Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: It was an absolute pleasure working on the team and I’d love to join back. Thank you for reviewing this application! :)
