When did you join Meepcraft? Can't remember

Introduction: I'm Deinen, long time player, and occasional staff member. I have a wife and kids and my life mostly consists of working, and being at home. I began playing right before MeepNetworks was founded, and have been hanging around ever since.

Why should you be Helper? I believe I could be a valuable addition to the team because of the possession of a vast amount of staffing experience in all ranks, even some that no longer exist. I have a firm belief that the player is a customer, and to that extent, deserve being treated with the utmost respect as well as deserving of any assistance they need in order to fully enjoy the game that MeepCraft provides.

When I was growing up an only child, I had some rough spots and some lonely times in my life; however, I've always had the benefit of being able to enjoy online gaming from it's very early stages. I know, from experience, that some of the people I met as a child changed my life fundamentally, and shaped me as the person I am today. I believe that MeepCraft, and it's moderation staff plays that very role today. I have met kids that have been impacted by staff and people on this server beneficially, and I have no doubt that they will carry that experience on with them throughout life; that is what my draw is to staffing. If MeepCraft, and it's staff, is able to create an experience which some kid which looks fondly back on 20 years from now then that is the highlight of my experience here.

Some might argue that my activity, or lack thereof, is a disadvantage. I would disagree and argue that having a staff member who exists in the server to primarily staff, and secondarily play will provide the server benefits such as a more neutral viewpoint. It also provides a staff member who is more resistant of changes of the game, and solely looks for options to better the experience for the players, or to help them further enjoy the game. That being said, I don't reject the notion of playing within towny, but more that I truly enjoy helping staff and shaping the server than playing the game. All in all, the vast contributions that I've made to this server that persist today makes evident what I plan on doing again, solve problems and try to make the experience better for the player.

Additionally, I am the type of person that truly tries to make time for anyone with any issue they need. Meaning on the game, on forums, or even in skype I always reply to people, and I always take time to have a conservation. My skype is littered with hundreds of people who I have done just this with. Also I believe in rehabilitation, and I always try to work with players that have troubles to try to get things back in order for them to come back. Sometimes this works out, for example Draqq, and other times not, but I always try.

Regarding my previous resignation - I had began new work, and I did not have sufficient time to put into the server, nor the sufficient motivation to the work required of admin. I felt that if I wasn't willing to do what is required, I should not be in that position, and staying would have hindered everyone else around me, and provided no real benefits.

What are your weaknesses? I'm blunt and I am not afraid to speak my opinion. If I believe in something, I tend to fight tooth and nail for what I believe in.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: My skype is Deinen; feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments.

This server needs leadership

We honestly need someone like you on this team... lol
But seriously, one of the greatest guys on meep is here this is amazing.

 

I understand your justification for inactivity and I think you could make a good point but I'm wondering how do you believe you'll go above and beyond?
You've proven yourself many times before, occasionally messing up but we all do

We didn't get along well but I think we will this time and even if we don't, conflicting views make a staff team stronger

Good luck man!

I am interested in how you do things. I can confidently say I am looking forward to be working with you.

 

Great question.

Call MeepCraft a business, game, server, or whatever else, it requires a few things to be viable, money, players and a staff to run it. I strongly believe that if you volunteer to do a job, it's a job and you should do it. I applied in full expectation of putting in equal time and effort into the server as each other staff. The reason why I am willing to put forth that time and effort is because of the time investment I've already committed here, and have grown to appreciate the role MeepCraft has played with many people.

Everyone messes up, and it's how they move forward that is the most telling. I think we've had a few personality conflicts in the past, but it was never personal and you seem to have a good head on you these days.

You've been there and done that and you can certainly do it again.

 

I'm sorry but can you please be online for longer than 2 minutes before you apply? -1.

 

ur my fav.

Best person this team needs +1

 

LOL.

There is nobody in the world more qualified than you. I've never admired someone as much as I admired you. You taught me to not be ban happy, to control myself, and that's something people need I hear now. You put your soul into the server, and I've never seen such an amazing individual apart of he staff team.

Good luck bud

 

Your application was fantastic and your justification and honesty are traits I admire you for. +1

 

I don't particularly understand why your inactivity isn't questioned when mine was planned, but who am I to judge. Your leadership is necessary. +1

 

Throughout my time on MeepCraft, you've been nothing short of an exceptional mentor and teacher. Your knowledge of the server and its working is extraordinary, and you have a long experience as a staff member, something the staff team critically needs.

+1

 

I'm just hoping you OP everyone again. That was fun as hell.

For the staff who review these responses, have some real reasons

I wasn't a big fan of the whole gold spawning fiasco but I admire you and your ability to lead so +1.
