Introduction: I'm Deinen, long time player, and occasional staff member. I have a wife and kids and my life mostly consists of working, and being at home. I began playing right before MeepNetworks was founded, and have been hanging around ever since.
Why should you be Helper? I believe I could be a valuable addition to the team because of the possession of a vast amount of staffing experience in all ranks, even some that no longer exist. I have a firm belief that the player is a customer, and to that extent, deserve being treated with the utmost respect as well as deserving of any assistance they need in order to fully enjoy the game that MeepCraft provides.
When I was growing up an only child, I had some rough spots and some lonely times in my life; however, I've always had the benefit of being able to enjoy online gaming from it's very early stages. I know, from experience, that some of the people I met as a child changed my life fundamentally, and shaped me as the person I am today. I believe that MeepCraft, and it's moderation staff plays that very role today. I have met kids that have been impacted by staff and people on this server beneficially, and I have no doubt that they will carry that experience on with them throughout life; that is what my draw is to staffing. If MeepCraft, and it's staff, is able to create an experience which some kid which looks fondly back on 20 years from now then that is the highlight of my experience here.
Some might argue that my activity, or lack thereof, is a disadvantage. I would disagree and argue that having a staff member who exists in the server to primarily staff, and secondarily play will provide the server benefits such as a more neutral viewpoint. It also provides a staff member who is more resistant of changes of the game, and solely looks for options to better the experience for the players, or to help them further enjoy the game. That being said, I don't reject the notion of playing within towny, but more that I truly enjoy helping staff and shaping the server than playing the game. All in all, the vast contributions that I've made to this server that persist today makes evident what I plan on doing again, solve problems and try to make the experience better for the player.
Additionally, I am the type of person that truly tries to make time for anyone with any issue they need. Meaning on the game, on forums, or even in skype I always reply to people, and I always take time to have a conservation. My skype is littered with hundreds of people who I have done just this with. Also I believe in rehabilitation, and I always try to work with players that have troubles to try to get things back in order for them to come back. Sometimes this works out, for example Draqq, and other times not, but I always try.
Regarding my previous resignation - I had began new work, and I did not have sufficient time to put into the server, nor the sufficient motivation to the work required of admin. I felt that if I wasn't willing to do what is required, I should not be in that position, and staying would have hindered everyone else around me, and provided no real benefits.
What are your weaknesses? I'm blunt and I am not afraid to speak my opinion. If I believe in something, I tend to fight tooth and nail for what I believe in.
