Introduction: Hello people. You can either call me Blue or Lars (that is my actually name) up to you. I tend to spend most of my time on meepcraft, YouTube, or soccer. I enjoy music more than anything else in this world and listen about 6-8 hours of music a day :3. I don't do much outside besides soccer because the club I was in shutdown. I don't make a lot of jokes, but I try my best to be fun around people; Although i do take certain topics seriously.

I'm in 10th grade currently and doing good in most classes. I take Japanese in school as a language and know minimal French and German from home.

Majority of my time is spent online. More than anything else i have YouTube playing. Sometimes as back round music to Meepcraft or just watching videos out of boredom.

I might be quitting soccer soon because of other engagements but nothing that will interfere with my online time. I never was that good anyway.

I used to be in a Cubing Club (Rubik Cubes) with friends of mine, but the club was shutdown after a year because the owners of the club didn't wish to run it any longer.

It isn't that I don't make jokes, I just need to know the person won't be offended by what I joke about. I also just tend not to be too loud of a person.

Why should you be Helper? I don't exactly have any desirable traits, but I want to be helper because there are people that should be banned but typically are looked over. This is not saying I have targets, just that I want to see Meep's community only get stronger.

I believe a strong community in a server is just as important as the server quality itself. Although Meep already has a very strong community, there are still little things that can be improved.

Minecraft is a big game. It has lots of odds and ends that most people don't bother to explore. I don't have much knowledge of technical difficulties, but I know most everything that there is to know about Minecraft. Anything from Redstone Mechanics to how the Creeper came to be.

My shops were built to do two things.
1: Be a place for people to acquire goods
2: Allow people to build their meebles by selling items (because /warp shops doesn't allow such anymore)
There are still many improvements that can be made to the shop and I feel being a helper would allow me to see more issues that newer players will need help getting over.

My open mind is probably one of my biggest qualities. my life has taken me threw many events (wonderful and bad) that allow me to understand nearly everyone's perspective on things. This would put me at good place for settling disputes.

What are your weaknesses? Mainly my weakness is that I tend to be too forgiving. I am working on just dealing what needs to be dealt and I think this could help that.

I do have a big thing against people are a mean to others.. I'm not sure if that is a weakness, but I'll include it anyway.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: If I make it to the interview there is one thing i might mention that I don't wish to put on my applications for public matters.

I really hope you consider this application, but if you don't believe i would be fit that is understandable.

To whomever might be reading,
Have a wonderful day

+1 always been extremely nice to everyone and is all around an amazing person

 

So, what are some reasons we should accept your over the next applicant?

This is not a reason.

Cool, but not a reason to be a helper. We want to know how you are good at helping people, not how you know where the creeper stems from.

Also not a reason

Okay, great! So you do have at least one desirable trait.

Come on, I am sure you have more weaknesses than this. Considering you just said you have no desirable traits, and then went on to list one, I think maybe self-confidence would be a good place to start.

If you are denied and decide to apply again, please put more effort into your application.

Also, about a week ago, you were trying to hide bedrock from staff. You were cool about handing it over as soon as contacted, but we shouldn't have to spend time looking into this, you should have come forward.

I am at a -1.

 

Oki dokie. thank you for the Response

 

Bobby you put a lot of good effort into this application and I'm sorry that some idiots can't see that. +1 make me proud

 

Na. N00b is a respected Staff member so I understand his decision

 

Bobby, wilst you gave me a shop for free which i am very happy about btw i dont know about you being a staff member. @n00bslayer_99 made some very good points

However, i do believe you are a very nice player and are overall kind to most people and ive never had an issue wih you so i am at a +1. Have a nice day

 

well thank you very much Dawn

just saying. i wasn't hiding bedrock. I afk my farms and just happen to be afk when I got messaged. I gave them over when I got back on.

Sorry I know I'm replying in pieces, but the point with Creepers was that i know a very wide variety of things about the game and would be good with helping people on some of the more odd modreqs. The things about the community are meant to be more of why I want to be helper are for good intentions. Sorry not meaning to be rude, just don't wish to be misunderstood. Have a wonderful day

 

I'm going to say -1



My main problem is, your weakness section needs to be MUCH bigger. At least the length of an academic paragraph (150-200 words). That shows that either: you think your perfect; were lazy; or couldn't find any. You say you're in grade ten? Probably true, but treat this like an essay you must get a 95 on.

If you handed this to a teacher with the criteria required to be staff, they would point out how short that segment is, and another issue: the point form. Now, it isn't exactly point form, but you just put each idea into a sentence, and then spaced them out. Try bunching them into paragraphs, or if they're minor and don't fit in a group, don't use them. Like n00b says, a large number of your "points" aren't points and/or stray away from the main point. If you remove all of your non-reasons, this app is about as long as my first application (which was very cringe, this application has better context than my first one).

Also, you did not check this over. There are multiple grammar mistakes, and for something of this size, and importance, there should be few simple grammar mistakes like forgetting to capitalize an

Finally, even though you're in Eastern Standard, and say you're on a lot, I don't see you in global much. I may just be forgetting, but I have little memory of you in global before last week, and none of you helping someone new or with basic commands.

Anyways, to summarize, -1, work on your application more, have relevant points only, don't make the majority of your application spacing, and be more active and helpful.

I may not know you that well, but having a poor application is not a good first impression, so I'll have to look out for your nametag in global. Good luck.

 

Hello Bobby, so I see potential but I never really see you go into team speak and mingle or see you talk in global for that matter. Your application was well written except for a few kind of confusing or unnecessary parts. Oh and can't forget about your weakness section, it would be nice to see more. Other then that I think your fine, and all of the important problems can be fixed as staff. But right now I am leaving my vote as +/-. -Kirby

 

Bobby blue my dragon ;^)

+1

 

I understand. Its not that I think I'm anything close to perfect just got a bit lazy toward the end which is my bad I know. As far as global goes I don't really like to use it a lot but if anyone ever asks for help I message them. I have given away around 700k to newer players or just players who needed it for something I thought was appropriate. Thank you for your response though! have a wonderful day

Thank you for the response! and I had clueless help me get TS for this application so I have only been on it once

 

+1

Active

Friendly

Be there when your needed

 

-1
You are super nice in game and have lots of potential, but I have never seen you on ts and your activity on the forums is horrible.

 

got TS today. and I don't use forums for much of anything

Thank you for your relpy though! Have a good day

--- Double Post Merged, Nov 23, 2016 ---

thank you

 

-1 hersheys is a bad place

 

I am not bothered about your weakness section as long as you are honest, I only listed one for mine. I believe we will be able to understand you more if you answer a few questions, some people are not the best of writers when applying for a position but may have a great interview. +1

 

Thank you! I appreciate the though. Have a good night!

 

The why section of your app was quite weak as you only stated one actual reason. Although the rest of your app was very good, the why section is very important and needs to be better.

I don't see you in game very often so I honestly don't know much about you, but based on how you wrote your app and your responses so far, you seem like an ok guy and deserve a shot at the interview.

+0.5

 

Agree mate.

Thank you. I'll try to go more in depth in the interview then. Have a wonderful night/day!
