How old are you? I am currently 16, birthday in May Your in-game name: HansTheKitten However, I used to go by the username 'xeeveexx' and 'Vashryl' What country do you live in? Norway [UTC +01:00] What languages do you speak? I am fluent in English, and I am able to speak Norwegian What is your opinion on rats? I think rats are like large mice, but more... evil They kinda helped kill a bunch of people in the middle ages, and they kinda haven't gotten rid of that "air about them" Why do you think you should become a mod? Now, I have a small issue with answering this question, as I am not skilled at appraising myself. Even though the question states "Why do you think", I asked some people for their objective appraisals, as well as my own thoughts on myself. (It wasn't the easiest thing, as I didn't want to push them for it) ' - Positive Traits - Good Humor Minecraft is a game that is made to be entertaining, and for it to be entertaining, shouldn't it be fun? When it comes to this concept, having a good humor will make the game more enjoyable for the people with the humor, as well as the people around that person. For this reason, having good humor is beneficial as it offers all around more enjoyment to all parties involved. Trustworthy When looking for someone to guard players, and their interests in a game, who need a person who the players are willing to put their faith in. If a moderator was not trustworthy, then they would easily abuse their privileges and cause havoc for the players that were trying to enjoy the game. However if the players trust the moderator and what they are doing, they will be more likely to report the people causing trouble, as they will have more faith that their requests will be fulfilled. Self Fulfilled I like where I am in life right now. I walk to school in the mornings, my grades are alright... they would be better if I didn't sleep through class though... I get home, I play video games, and I talk with my girlfriend. Life is nice. This is a positive trait because it means I won't 'fk over the server cuz "lol idk"' Kind When it comes to this point, you can reference the previous point about the the players wanting to be able to trust the mod. This point also goes hand in hand with 'Good Humor', as being kind is something that will make the game more fun for those surrounding the kind player. Fair When it comes to being fair, this point is also connected with the concepts brought up under 'Trustworthy'. In order to maintain a balanced server where the players are able to enjoy themselves, the mod needs treat all of the players the same. If a moderator is not fair, ze will pick favorites among the players and will protect them for punishments. By doing this, ze making the server less enjoyable for all other players by keeping someone around who should be gone. Patient If you want to be able to treat the players of a server with kindness, you have to be patient when dealing with them. A mod who is not patient will push off the players who come for them for aide, which will make them unable to fulfill the responsibilities that they received when becoming a guardian of order on the server. Respectful Within a server, all players should be treated the same. However this is something that is harder to show then the other traits. It is something that can also be difficult in itself. Being respectful allows the players to enjoy the player more, which in turn will link back the concepts of 'Trustworthy' and 'Kind'. Being respectful is just as important as these, as even if the mod is kind and trustworthy, if ze is not respectful, it becomes hard to enjoy their presence. Understanding It's easy to tell when something is a joke, and when something isn't. This trait is something not seen very often within the mods of MV today. It seems as if most of them got something stuck up there, if you know what I mean (hint hint nudge nudge) I know things. I can tell you why WW1 started in great detail. I also know a bunch of bad jokes, and peni- oh right sorry, gotta keep this PG.... hmm... I know jokes that refer to the genitalia of the male sex in order to deliver the punchline or selling point of the joke. I also know a lot about EM waves. But most of all Why not? (rhetorical, don't actually answer) How long can you be active on the server everyday? This can vary, as I am still in school. For this reason, the amount of time I can spend will depend on how much work I have to do. However, I can give an estimate on how much I will be able to play Weekdays: 4 hours Weekends/Vacation: 6-8 hours However, I am not going to lie. I won't. I might play an hour a week if I feel particularly invested. What do you do in your freetime? Well, not play Minecraft... I played it for a while, but kinda got over it. Right now I play the Blizzard game 'Heroes of the Storm', and chat with daesang. I am also redownloading Elsword right now, because I used to play that, and enjoyed it. However the download times take for~ev~er, so instead I am writing this application. Do you view population growth as a positive thing? I think that population growth is a good thing, but only to a point. The fact of the matter is that we will reach a point where the amounts of resources on the Earth cannot sustain the people that live on it. This point will be reached at about 10 billion humans, which was estimated to happen around 2070. I think that we should be trying to reduce the amount of people, but not by getting rid of them, but rather by trying to stagnate the growth. How long have you been playing Mineverse? Now this is something I am unsure of, after some looking I was unable to find a counter anywhere that could tell me, but had been playing for about a month before the rank Titan had come out. By my estimates, that is a little over 2 years. Edit: Forum account almost three years old, started playing a bit before then Have you ever been banned in the past? ' I loaned my account to my friend for a while, and when I came back I had been banned like 7 times, and it ruined my relationships and was very difficult to get myself unbanned. ' But at last I achieved victory, and got myself unbanned! http://www.mineverse.com/threads/xeeveexx-ban-evading-beefy-jadey-accepted.27216/#post-270186 (The angering of mods, hacking, death warping, ban evading, etc.... Took place almost two years ago.) However... Times change. As of a months back, I got into a "scuffle" with some high ranking staff. It started when I told my friend daesang to "drop a toaster on her foot, get tetanus, and die", getting banned on two servers, writing a three page essay on staff corruption, and probably offending, annoying, or irritating any staff member that I had been in contact with. I'd say it went rather well! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uimz_kmoD55Upw_WsbyO7b6NGaaFxYlgnIEOD00IKcQ/edit How many McDonalds chicken mc nuggets can you eat in one sitting? As of right now, the most I have ever tried is the 18 pack you can get. However, this left me quite full, and I don't know if I could manage more. Do you have any past experience as a moderator? A while back, I played on a medium sized server, not as large as Mineverse though. I started as a 'Helper', and worked my way up to 'Mod', from there to 'Head Mod', and I continued climbing until I reached 'Admin'. Sadly that server was corrupted and had to shut down. (I also ran a small server for a few months, but who hasn't?) Do you meet all Mineverse's requirements for staff listed below? Yes/No Do you have 50 Post Count? Yes, as of right now, I have some amount of posts... I think around 80 or 90... Not much, but hey, it passes 50 right? Do you have Two Factor Authentication set up? Uh yea, I guess so... I just got it for this, but tbh I'll probably never use it How do you like your eggs? I like them scrambled on a piece of buttered toast Have you had 2 Weeks registered on the Mineverse forums? Why yes, yes I have. I'm running on around 2 years Do you have Skype andTeamspeak 3 for offline communication? I have Skype, but was never fond of Teamspeak, however I have started using Discord as of late as well. So I guess no? But who cares about Teamspeak anyways! (It's rhetorical, don't actually answer) Edit: Turns out you need teamspeak. I have gotten teamspeak NOTE FOR ALL THOSE COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT BEING ACTIVE/REPORTING: The Boomerang Nebula is coldest naturally found place in the universe up to this point, located over 5,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus
Support About that time he got banned, it was all in good fun until a mod decided to ruin it. I got banned first, then him xd
Wow. Just Wow. You, sir, would think that I would make a joke out of an application? I feel insulted. I put my heart and soul into writing this, and for you to say something like that... It's honestly just rude.
I understand this statement so much. Neutral. Never seen you in game. But You seem genuine. Good Luck! Normally I'm all for expressing your opinion, but this statement is rude & cruel. If it's a joke, I wouldn't expect them to take the time to write it all out.
No support. - Immature - You pretty much bragged about your rank and power on the first few days of Towny... Bragging isn't a big thing for Mods to be honest - Do the reports on hackers, I'd like to see consistency of you being able to handle video evidence - "How do you like your eggs? I like them scrambled on a piece of buttered toast" Again, immature. You don't type these things in an application. I understand you want to lighten the mood, but you shouldn't add details that really don't matter in your application.
✎ Contribute to the server (Suggestions / reports / help people) ✎ Improve your maturity (You come out as immature) Spoiler: Examples Your application was, on the other hand, quite good. I feel like you only want the title though. You come out as immature and I personally don't think you know what you're applying for. Also, remove the picture of your friends saying nice things about you. It's just unnecessary
You have been very immature and disrespectful towards staff members in the past, I remember your name from how disrespectful you were and that is saying something. Sorry but it's going to be a no support from me as from looking at your application it doesn't appear that you have changed.
You Norwegians are v funny, aren't you? I wish I was Norwegian. And on the topic of that, shouldn't you go to bed considering it's over 2AM for you...
