What is my personality like?

I’m chaos546, also known here as chaos or Cha. My real name is Natalie, but mostly people call me Nat or Nana. I feel awkward when people call me by my full name, be it Natalie or chaos546, as I feel like they are being weirdly formal, and I feel put on the spot.


I am not a very sporty person, so I tend to spend my time reading, writing, drawing, and most of all, gaming. My dad works at a video game company, so I’ve literally grown up around video games. I don’t remember a time where I had never watched someone play a video game.


I love all animals, but my favorites are cats and birds. I love spending time with animals.


Personality-wise, on screen, I tend to be very opinionated and am not afraid of saying what I think about somone, especially if I dislike them. However, out of Meepcraft, I’m actually really shy with strangers. I don’t like talking in front of anoyone who I don’t consider a close friend or relative. However, if I am comfortable, I talk non-stop. I love talking about things that I enjoy doing, like gaming, anime, reading, and such, so that’s mostly what I talk about when I get going.


Why should you consider me for a Helper?

I’m going to say straight out that I have never been a staff member on a Minecraft server before. I have, however, been a high ranked staff member on a website and have learned to deal with troublemakers. I am not afraid punish even one of my closest friends. I know the responsibilities that come with being a staff member and I realize what sometimes must be done.


My second reason for why I think I would be a better Helper than, say, that guy across the street from you, is that I am fairly experienced on the server, and anything I don’t know about it I’m willing and interested in learning. My one year anniversary to Meep is coming up (mid-October, sometime after the 16th), and I really think that I know the server well. Comparing now to back when I sent in my other application, back in old Meep, it’s actually appalling how much can change.

Now, about my activity and helpfullness in game, on the forums, and on TS. I can say straight up, as many of you know, that my strong point is the forums. I see this as a huge asset, as I’ve noticed that oftentimes the forums seem a little neglected. I see ban appeals and requests up for weeks, suggestions buried, and questions made fun of. I get that the forums are generally second compared to in game, and that you guys are pleny busy, but, as I can access the forums from nearly anywhere, I tend to be more active there.


My in game activity may not be up to par with what you’d hope for a Helper, but I have been working hard on getting it back to more of a schedule, and I can honestly say I have been doing better. Not to mention that because I’m not in a town, and I don’t have a house, I spend most of my time in the wild, at spawn, or in the mingames. When helping in game, I tend to lean more towards /msging people rather than just saying the help straight out in chat, especially when it comes to /shout. I assure you that I try to answer as many questions as possible.


TeamSpeak. I go on it every time I go on Minecraft, but because I am fairly shy and because you all are strangers, I don’t talk as much as I wish. I tend to instincually avoid groups of less than three (private conversation) or groups of more than 5, because I feel awkward going into large groups. Whenever I switch channels, I feel like I’m butting in on something. I am working on this, I swear. I’m alright if someone asks me into a channel, however, as I feel then that I was invited rather than just barging in, so it shouldn’t be as much of a problem.

What are my weaknesses?

I think my number one weakness is probably the fact that I tend to react without thinking to something that personally effects someone close to me. A perfect example to this is why I was banned. I saw something that hurt my close friend, and it made me react mindlessly, with one goal in mind; to punish whomever did it. I am working toward changing this from a weakness and putting it to use as a drive to keep me going.


Second is probably my opinionation. I tend to stand by one view until given proof that it is wrong. This can cause me to seem unreasonable and stubborn, but again, I am working hard to improve this.


Finally, it’s my TeamSpeak shyness. Through text, I feel way less nervous and shy. But TS is another story, and I sincerely apologize for this. I am getting better, though.

So what does this all add up to?

In conclusion, I believe that I could be an asset to the community as a Helper, more so than a can be as a citizen. I strive to have everyone feel welcome in this wonderful community we have here, and am prepared to shoulder any responsibilities that come with that.


Thanks to all who read,

No sorry, you may not

 

Accepted for Interview. This will be a Full Interview, I want no less than 2 Admins involved in this interview!

 

As much as I know you are an amazing person overall, and that you're mature, even if you do have your flaws (watch that temper). And even though I give you a big +1, I doubt you'll be accepted on the staff team. You are like the biggest arguer with the staff to date, with possibly a couple of exceptions. Now, you would be a great staff member, but let's just see if the staff is unbiased enough to put that behind them

 

^That's pretty funny. Hopefully I'm reading it incorrectly. (hehe)

 

You're very silly...
When you put a number in between two | | or jail bars, it means that you want the absolute value of that number.
The Absolute Value of a number is the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign...or how many spaces away it is from zero on the number line.
Therefore saying |-1| is simply stating how many spaces from the number line it is.
The answer is one, and since you cant be negative spaces away from something...it is a positive one.
|-1| = +1

 

Pros:
-you are not afraid to speak your mind so staff might actually get something done
-mature
-good app
-knowledge of server

Cons:

 

No fancy words. Use ask, jeez
