When did you join Meepcraft? May 30, 2014

Introduction: Hello everyone! I'd like to start off with saying that I'm not a person of words, but a person of actions (aka sorry for the short app.) Most of you remember me as Blizzard and Alex, or know me as Zemblxnity. I'm a 15 year old kid living on the West Coast, and I like to hang out with friends and have a good time. My hobbies occupy coding, reading, and biking. I have an off-job which calls me at random hours and I have to work then. I play League of Legends and some Steam games. I can be very patient when it comes to waiting around, and I can also be mature for my age. I started playing minecraft around a few years ago, and I've played for a while since. I came onto Meep a while ago after Fuzzlr bought an old server and it died out. I stayed on Meep for a while, became helper, and had a mod application up before I resigned and left the server, mostly due to school work.

Before I begin with the official application, I'd like to mention my resignation, and kind of apologize for that. It was highly immature yet I guess that's what happens when lots of things build up in you. Luckily, now I do have an outlet to all the pressure, and can assure nothing like that will happen again. Now, let's get this application started!

Why should you be Helper? I enjoy helping people, and get a certain type of happiness when you're able to teach someone something new or help them out with something they need. I would make an excellent addition to the staff team currently. Why?

Experience: I have been staff for a total of 3 months on Meepcraft, and not to brag but I was one of the most efficient helpers on the team during July - October 2014 (modreq wise.) I am familiar with near all the commands on the server, and I have became familiar with the new ones over the time I've came back and played again. In life, I've been able to be camp counselor, club leader, and many other roles to exemplify leadership and strength in personality and character.

Work Ethic: During my time as helper, I was able to finish over 500+ modreqs (there may be more, but it's hard to track.) I always finish through on the work, and if for any circumstances I won't be able to, I make sure I can deliver on the job to someone who'll finish the work. This happened rarely during my time as staff, but I was able to pass on my modreq onto another staff, give them information regarding it, and would leave when I was sure the staff would be able to finish it. I'm able to focus on a certain task and make sure that the part is finished, or make sure I did as much as I can from my part to contribute to what it is that needs to be done. In school, I am a focused student who always achieves at least a 3.7 GPA (grade point average.)

Involvement: I try to involve myself in as much as the community as I can. Whether it be town hall meetings or Teamspeak, I really try to be active as much as possible. However, on Forums and Shout I try not to post meaningless or irrelevant information or messages. While I'm not so obvious on Shout, I try to shout and help out anyone whenever I can. It is harder to see my name around, yet when I do I make sure that the message is worth it.

What are your weaknesses? I try my best to make sure that my weaknesses are solvable and not a big deal, yet there are still a few that show out.

Unstable Schedule: My schedule is pretty wacky. It can change around and I won't have any idea until maybe 5 minutes before. Due to this, my times online may always be in a different order. However, most of the time I'm online is during graveyard hours, and only 1 or 2 staff are online in the moment. I cannot do much to try and fix my schedule, though I try to stabilize and keep it as organized as possible. I can guarantee though that I'll be able to be online whenever possible.

Activity: As mentioned earlier, my activity on forums and teamspeak is a bit "eh." I get on as much as possible on teamspeak, yet I don't speak much. My forums activity is a bit different. I do get on and check nearly all the posts, I just don't comment on a majority of them.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: Thank you for taking the time for reading this! If you do leave this with a negative review, please leave some feedback regarding why it is so!

 

+1. You were a good, hard-working Helper on the team... one of those who always seemed hungry for the chance to do more. And I'm not just talking about modreqs, though you did an awful lot of those!

While I was disappointed with your attitude around the time of your resignation, I know you were stressed and frustrated about some things (in Meep and IRL), and the break seems to have been good for you. I believe you'd do well as staff again. Just be careful and watch yourself if you feel the pressure building up again.
