Introduction: Hi, my ingame name is Blackoak999, but most people call me blackoak, oak, or black, depending on how they want to simplify it. I've been seriously thinking of changing it to Blackoak, since the numbers seem useless now.

I started playing minecraft fairly soon after it came out, and have watched the game become more interesting over time. Obviously, multiplayer makes minecraft even more interesting.

I really do think meepcraft is the best example of virtual reality that exists right now. Each towny has 100 Billion blocks 1 meter in size, which is essentially the current practical limit for virtual reality. Meep has pvp, battling mobs, and peaceful territory in towns - the necessary chaos people need. It's quite possible people need a messy world to be happy. Isn't that what the Matrix movie said? haha

Why you should be Helper? I like helping players and do it even when I'm not staff. I have quite a bit of patience; while playing meep I have even learned how do interact even more effectively with impatient and passive-aggressive people. I think my patience helps me work easily on modreq investigations.

When I work on something I am thorough while keeping a thought toward working as quickly as possible. It's best to get all the facts, then act accordingly.

I try to be fair. I really think it's best to be impartial in general.

What are your weaknesses? One of the hardest things to do for a person is to figure out personal weaknesses. Being totally honest, I think one of my weaknesses would be working on too many things at the same time. Juggling different projects, ingame and in real life, can be a challenge. I know i'm able to do it.

Another weakness would be communicating directly when I need to go do something else. I am working hard to correct this, communicating the time and reason I need to stop for a while on one project - and telling people the time when I will be back on that promised project.

If I am accepted I'll make sure I always communicate.

I do get pretty busy in real life sometimes.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: When my Wife graduated and got an analyst job, we switched roles and I came home to take care of our son. I used to work as a solar electric engineer, and after that worked as an on-site writer. At that time my wife was home with my son. Now I'm home, working on the creative writing career I've always wanted to have. Kid's books are my new career.

I play meep in my downtime, which can be considerable. I need a constant creative challenge; that creative challenge and the community is why I am on.

My son is in school in the daytime, which means I'm available during school hours - 9AM to 3PM PST. I'm able to be on meep while he does his homework too. On the weekends I'm often on meep for quite a while as well.

 

And accepted for interview

 

YES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS

words must not explain, but my vote is +1
i'd love to see you join us, you're kind, and i have never seen you break any rules. please join us, our life is incomplete without you.

 

Um... Yes please.
Been waiting for this dumb app to go up for a long time. I see you would be a great roll in the community and a great staff member and aspect.

Full on +1

 

+1. Finally. Been waiting for this application for ages! It is long overdue! Friendly, positive, active, responsible, mature, genuine, straight forward, dedicated and many more positive adjectives that would just take way to long to list. What more can I say? You are more than ready for the job, you are perfectly capable of taking responsibility and handling the tasks staff offers. I can not be more happier over someone applying for staff. You are just a down to earth person who everyone would want to go to for help. Your application was alright, it could have been better. It was rather short, however, though it was short, there was not much more you could say to convince people of your abilities and potential. I'd love to have you as an addition to the team, it would be a great loss to miss the opportunity to have you on the team

Goodluck!
