Best Posts in Thread: Helper Application from CaptainGooch

you dumb son?

 

I mean, clearly you are if you write up this massive multiparagraph thing about his application and how it sucks. You know how much his application means when he has been super mod before and has tons of server experience? Basically nothing.

 

Thank you for responding to my comment.

One last question: Do you just want staff as something to keep you busy, or do you really want to help out the present and future of the server and its new players?

Extremely.

 

-1

Experience or not, that doesn't make you any better. You haven't been on forums, or at least posted on forums, since February 9th, made a post today, and then made this application. You've had very few forum posts since you've came back, and have had terrible forum activity, which is vital to being a staff member, as you should know.

Your "Why" section wasn't good, or even exceptional imo. Only a couple sentences give us an overview of why you would want to be staff. I have experience and time, a lot of people do. But what makes you stand out, besides your very old experience? 4 sentences, not even all of them relating as to why you should be staff, is definitely not enough, and doesn't show me why you should be staff. You should know as an ex-staff member how to make an okay why section, especially as a 25 year old.

Your weaknesses section, I'm sorry, was absolutely terrible. Like 1 sentence, and they are not even real weaknesses. A smile???? You don't see their faces. How does that affect you? Also, how will meebles affect your job? Actually, that makes me not trust you at all, as you could use your staff knowledge, commands, and abilities to abuse and make Meebles. You didn't say how you can improve on your weaknesses, making me think you are too lazy to do so. Also, it makes me not want to trust you, as you do not seem like you are going to make these weaknesses greatly affect your job. Again, you should know how to make an at least eh why section with your staff knowledge and your 25 year old knowledge.

You just came back 2 weeks ago. How are you supposed to help new players of you don't even know what's new, what has changed, what has happened, and more? It seems to me that you came back 2 weeks ago, disappeared, came back again, then applied. You seem to only want staff, and that's not good. You should wait at least a month after coming back before applying again (unless you really make an effort like Castro did). Even if you have been on, you haven't really made it known, which you really should do before applying for staff.

You probably made the app in 30 minutes tops, and didn't even think it through. There seems that no effort is put into this application. If you don't have enough effort to make an application, how do you have enough effort to be a staff member? I'm only 13, and my apps were so much better than this.

I don't see you in shout. I'm not on that often, but I haven't really seen you at all, in all three aspects of the server. You really need to make yourself known again, and be involved with the server once again.

Deinen, you know I respect you greatly, and don't let this affect our friendship, but don't you think this is a bit biased? I mean he may know how to work, but he just came back, and he probably doesn't know some things that a lot of people know.

Overall, you're not ready for staff yet. You have not shown me what makes you stand out, and your app only made your case worse. You just came back, and I think you should wait a while before applying again before being denied. I don't know how you can help out new players when you just came back yourself, and have no/little experience with the current state of the server.

But, Deinen gave you a +1, so you'll be accepted anyways.

I hope staff don't ignore this comment and take it into consideration. I didn't spend this much time making this comment to be ignored.

And @CaptainGooch, I know I was harsh on you, but I know that if you work on those things, you'll be ready in a month. Please do not take that as I dislike you, just my very strong vote on this application to avoid staff being biased.

I'll add to this if I see any improvement, or if I think of anything else to add to the -1, or the comment in general.

 

+1, I've only heard great things about you, and watching you help players in my town gives me a good deal of confidence in your ability.
