When did you join Meepcraft? September 2012

Introduction: Hi.
My name is Lucas, I'm a 16 year old highschool student at Geneva's high school, and I'm currently studying biochemistry.
I play basketball, which I also teach, in a town's club. I have had some jobs in the past, including one at Subway, where I got to learn how to interact with customers of all type, old and young, and how to keep a smile no matter what circumstances.
I have many hobbies which include debating, going out and about with friends, and, obviously, playing Minecraft.
I found Meep back in 2012 when my brothers and I were looking for a server with towny and factions. On a website, Meepcraft.com was written with 350 players on or so, which was something we were looking for : a big server. When logged in, we used to play towny, in which we helped build a town, and fell in love with it. I especially loved how tight the community was, the best I’ve ever seen. Then, unfortunately I quit Meepcraft between mid 2013 until 2017, due to family complications and studies failing, and have come back, glad to see the same ambiance that I remembered.
In my time online, I enjoy every aspect of Meep, from my skyblock island to the halo server, but most of all the towny server and parkour.

Why should you be Helper? •Experience
I knew the basics of towny commands in the past, but upon my arrival, have expanded, to its full capacity, my knowledge of towny commands, by studying them, and basic server commands, and am glad to help out anytime someone needs a hand.
Also working as a basketball coach, I learned how to interact with young kids, and how to teach some slower than others, depending on their skills. I connected with them and formed a group by, guess what? Playing Pokemon cards with them. Sounds dumb, but it worked, and I’m glad I did it. It put me out of my comfort zone and introduced me to theirs, which also gave me ideas for new exercises (which included renaming exercises pokemons). Their age span varies between 7 to 12. •Timezone
I am in the European timezone (UTC +00:01) and often see the other, inactive side of Meep. While playing, unless I stay up late (as I often do), there aren’t many staff online while I am.
•Enthusiasm/communication
I am a happy person, and try my best to always make others feel comfortable around me. I am always in a great mood, and open to any conversation, whether it’s from new players or experienced players, talking with other people makes me relate to them a bit more every time. This is something that I deem extremely necessary in a staff member.
•Open Minded
I like hearing what people have to say and debating. I got interested in this when, as an activity outside of school, I signed up to a club, in which we met up every week with a topic, and debated. That experience taught me how to listen, and share my opinion in a constructive manner.
For example, once we had Donald Trump as a theme. At the time, I couldn't even imagine how people could even consider voting for him, no offense Trump supporters. Now, even though I don’t agree with his ideas, I at least understand why people like him and vote for him, which I think is something quite interesting to learn.
•Work Ethic
When I start a job, I give my soul into making it as awesome and accomplished as I possibly can. Whether if it's for studies, minecraft, or even basketball, I give my best into making things happen.
•Trust
I am a very trustworthy person. When a secret is told, I will take it to my death, as long as it’s legal. This I feel is important as confidentiality is a big part of creating relationships with players

What are your weaknesses? •Grammar and English
This issue is due to my mother tongue being French. Although I am orally fluent in English, grammar can sometimes be an issue for me.
•Unfiltered in global
Some people might think this is a good thing.
But it isn't always the case for me, as I tend to type a lot of what goes through my mind in global. Though this isn't a big problem, it can also be as I sometimes say useless stuff in global, which just fills up the chat with useless things. I feel this is a weakness, as people needing help are just polluted with my chats. Although this has calmed down, I still sometimes make silly comments. I usually read a message twice before posting these past days.
•Expressing my opinion
I don’t hide my beliefs, I just throw them out there, that without being rude. This can sometimes be perceived as brusque and rude. This is something I am working on, and with the help of others, I thinking this can really easily get under control.
•Offensive by times
I still am a little young, and can sometimes make jokes that may get perceived as offensive, though the intention wasn't. I’ve been working on this, and though I can keep a straight face in any matters in which I deem necessary to focus, and which are important, sometimes while just playing I can be a little overboard.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: If you have any further questions, either message me in game, post it down under or contact me via discord.
I am currently studying prism commands aswell.
Also, I love Swiss chocolate.
Edit: misspelt Smk's in game name. Sorry

 

Hey riri
I haven't been the most active in game recently but I've hanged out with you before, and know you are a nice person.
I hope you do well,
+1, gl!

 

I talked with you a week ago, and you seemed like a really nice person. Happy Birthday! You would make a great staff member +1

 

No, at this time, I don't find you to be trustworthy of anything. You need to change yourself before you apply.

We do not need any more staff members at this time.
-1

 

I would like to see you in an interview.

 

+1
I have talked to you a lot since your last application and I think you could easily handle what is required to be a helper.

 

+1 Active, nice and calm.

 

Thanks for your kind and constructive comments aswell as birthday wishes.
See you all in game !

 

+1 good luck my dood

 

Thanks

 

Straight up +1. You are always so welcoming and kind, and would be a great addition to staff. Good luck.

 

Thanks !

Never Seen you in game (pressing tab I do it so much it breaks almost every other day so I have a jar of extra tab keys)
Never seen you in global (I read all the texts)
From what I hear your not trust worthy
application WAY to long and feels like you ramble a lot like me at times
Most of your recommendations did not even recommend you on the comments and that is a huge cause for concern for me

 

Hello Mowgli.
Please do not be concerned about my time online, as I said, I must stay up pretty late to be able to play with others in the US. I'll reasure you by saying I play everyday, and next time online, don't press tab, do /seen, we might just have missed each other.

As for this. The reason I did not respond to Natsu is, I don't recall having an issue with trust with anyone. If I did, please, message me in game, and I will apologize with all my heart. Also, I tried my best to present a well written and detailed application. I'm sorry you did not like it.
Thanks for commenting on my application!

 

Hiya Riri, i just wanted to start out by saying that i enjoy the fact you put detail into your application - I always say more detail is better. I would like to see you get a interview! Good luck!

 

I am surprised that I am finally agreeing on something with @mowglisd , but let me say something: You are in no place to be talking about trust. There is a reason why I am not supporting you even though I reviewed your application and thought well of it a few weeks ago. You are absolutely not doing anything with all your heart nor taking anything to death. All you say is "thank you" and I do not see any improvement.

I am sure you will do well on your interview and have a good chance of being accepted, but you should really work on doing what you say and actually be a person worth trusting, otherwise I will be worried.

Don't even bother to reply to this message as it's my second and I am not looking to change my opinion.

Hello riri! I like your application, and happy birthday! I've seen you in game, you're pretty active in chat most of the time. This could be either a +1 or a -1. You could have what it takes to become a staff member, but I think you need to prove that you have what it takes. I am not going to give you a -1 because I think you could have what it takes. I think you should get a chance. +1
