Introduction: hello, I'm Anthony aka Antorres9. I'm 14, male and from Glasgow. My main hobbies are playing football (soccer), tennis and love playing Minecraft. I also make different photo edits for people.

Why should you be Helper? I feel that I should be helper as I know most things about the server and I have helped players in the past as a citizen. I feel like no-one really dislikes me on the server and I feel that s really important when it comes to helping people.

What are your weaknesses? I don't have much weaknesses but my main weakness is I that I tend to get to into the game and sometimes take things personally. However, that is a very minor worry for you guys but its something that I could easily overcome.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I am a very trustworthy person, I can sort out problems before things get out of hand. I will be 100% committed to the server whenever I can get on. If I have spare time I can hop on to the server and help out.

 

This after he was banned for luring on a /pwarp which he set on a PvP plot. I don't know if you've changed since then, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Even then, you've only made six posts on forums and the latest since 5 December was on Saturday. That is not sufficient activity, it seems to me like you just started being active to improve your chances of being staff. Your application is weak, and it doesn't even encapsulate your reasons why you should be helper. You don't need to write an essay, but for next time I'd suggest writing something along the lines of a bullet-point chart with things like "dedication", "activity", "demeanour", and explain why those are positive attributes of yourself, rather than just saying "I know things. I like helping people.".

I don't know were this trend of extremely short applications that tell us nothing has come from. Check out any of the accepted apps and they will clearly show that for this size of application to be okay you have to have had an extremely valuable asset and even then people would harshly criticize them for the size of their app. Applications the size of books used to be very common.
Anyways focusing on you
Your intro tells me nothing about who you are as a person. It is the very minimum of what an intro should be.
Your why section is weak in support of you being staff. You know most things about the server but so does most everyone. Saying no one dislikes you isn't really a strength. Everyone has someone who doesn't like them and to me it's more impressive to be able to work through that maturely. If you apply again pick at least 5 strengths and explain why they would be good for a helper to have and any examples of you using them to overcome issues.
Your weakness section is weak. I can't believe you only have that weakness but let's say you do. Saying it is a minor woory sounds like you are blowing it off. How exactly do you plan to overcome it? What examples do you have?

Having references is supposed to be optional but it's turned into a requirement. Find some people you've worked with and ask them if they will be a reference.

Most of your conclusion section could be split between intro and why.

I see you lurking on forums a bit which is great! But try to get more involved.
Your app might have also benefited from discussing any bans you may have had.

 

Don't know , on short one after another.
Anyways,
I have to say, you're a kind lad, but I have several issues.
1. You don't know the server well enough. I often see you asking questions in chat, which is fine, although a pontential staff member should rather be awnsering then asking questions.
2. Don't say "I don't have much weaknesses". No. Take a step back and look at what's the part of your personality you consider a weakness. Although this might seem like you're not going to be accepted if you put honnest weaknesses, it shows self-awerness, which is important.
3. Next, structure your application.
The most important part is the why. Make it long and structured by breaking down your qualities and explaining them. Don't write too many short ones, 5 long ones are better than 7-10 short ones.
4. References.
Not putting references comes down to saying no one wants you/supports you to be a staff member. Having references are important, and are a "must". Get to know and connect to people. Ask the people you know, and who think you could make a good staff member if they'd like to be a reference.
If you manage to fix these 4 issues in your next application, I'll probably be a +1.
Until then, I'm sorry, but I'm a -1.
Best of luck and have a great one!

 

If your entire application plus your signature can fit on a phone screen, you know that your app is waaaayyy too short. Also, I've never seen you on forums before. You seem to think rather highly of yourself and your relationships with others. Maybe to prove all this talk is true, get some references.
-needs to be be more active on forums
-has no references
+shows potential kinda

-1 for me sorry

 

Lol I remember this it was funny because he kept acting like the victim when he was the one that caused the mess

Make sure you check out application guides, they are stickied on the application section (^^)

Hello Antorres9, sins i do not know you in person i will give my opinion on your application based only off your application.

Lets start with what i like about your application and what i think you can improve on.

You have given us an idea of what you like to do on your spare time and what kind of person you are, but i really think you should have written a little more about yourself.

I love that you have experience from editing photos, but it would have been nice if you had told us more about this hobby. For an example what program do you use for editing? how long have you been editing for? Why do you like to do this on your spare time? And last but not least, what do you think this would bring to the staff team as a whole?`

It is also great that you take part of sports like soccer and tennis, it shows that you might be able to be better when you have to work with multiple people and that you might be good in teamwork situations. But i would also have loved to know what experiences you have gotten from playing soccer and tennis? Like bad and good experiences and what did you learn from those? This is just to make it so that i would understand more of what kind of person you are

I like that you know a lot about the server, but you have not really gone in to details on what you know? Like what do you play the most, Towny? Skyblock? or just in the Wild? Do you own a town?

It is awesome that you have taken the time to help people on the server, but i think you should have given us some off these experiences?
Like what happened, what did you help them with? Did you learn anything from helping the person? Stuff like that

You mentioned that you have a tendency to take things personally, could this turn in to a issue on the server? And in what way could this be bad for the server?

I hope i have given some OK criticism, and i hope you have a great day

 

Hiya, we'd really encourage you to apply again later, but for now you've been denied. Fine points on improving your application have already been provided in the preceeding comments, but we're also looking for a bit more activity on forums, and I've never personally seen you on Discord. I assure you we don't bite (except for Kling). If you have any questions, start a conversation with myself or any other staff member, message us in-game, or on Discord, and it's always a pleasure to give you advice about applying. Good luck, and hope to see another application sometime!
