Alright guys, you asked me to do it, so here goes nothing. I am putting up an application for Prison Guard. I originally took my other one down and a lot of people thought I should re-apply. Prison only has a few guards that are on consistently and I believe there should be at least one more....me. How old are you? 33 Your in-game name: Dyna_Mighty What timezone are you in? Eastern Standard Time GMT-5:00 What country do you live in? USA What languages do you speak? English Why do you think you should become a mod? I believe I should become a mod for many different reasons. *Dedication* When I put myself into a job/position, I throw myself head-long into it. I give my 100% to everything that I do. If given this job, I will work my behind off to help Mineverse be an even better place to be. I am online and available just about any time of my day. If I am not right at the computer and help is needed, if someone sends me a skype message, I will get it really fast. *Love For Kids/Young Adults* I guess my love for kids really comes from being a cleverly disguised kid in an adult body. :p I love all kids and have my entire life. Many years ago I quit my paying job to become a stay at home mom as well as to become a foster mom. My husband and I were parents to over 20 kids during the time we were foster parents. We absolutely love helping kids with any background, in any situation. I know a lot of kids/young adults struggle in today's age and have 2 great ears for listening. I have offered to help many kids on Mineverse that are currently struggling to talk with them and give them advice on their situations if needed. It really bothers me when I see my friends (and yes I consider them my friends even though they are half my age) struggling and want to help them in any way I could. *Loyal & Trustworthy* I have to say that I am extremely loyal to those who are loyal to me. I have made many friends throughout the Mineverse community and they will tell you that I am very loyal to everyone. Even those who aren't necessarily my friends know that I am loyal to my friends. Everyone that is not brand new also knows they can trust me 100%. I have never scammed anyone, nor do I ever plan to. *Just* I do my very best and do not knowingly break the rules. I have gotten myself into trouble a few times because at the time I did not know the rules (my fault, yes). But in every other aspect, I do what is right. I am a very fair person. I am stickler for the rules and will enforce them as needed. *Helpful* I try my best to help players in any situation. There are so many new people in and out of prison, I feel as if I type the same thing 100 times a day. But each time someone asks for help and I am not AFK, I help them to my best ability. If I cannot help them with a specific task (reporting, rank help, etc) I point them in the right direction to ensure they can get what they need done. *Experience* Not only do I have a lot of life experience, I also have a lot of professional experience as well. In the past I have been a co-owner of a successful business. I was responsible for several employees, anywhere from 5-9 at a time. I was also responsible for hiring and releasing people as needed. I was also responsible for all of the things a secretary would do. Payroll, taxes, estimates, etc. Any kinds of lists, written rules, you name it, I will excel at it, if given the chance. I currently serve positions on 2 different board of directors for Home School Associations in our local area. I am responsible for coordinating numerous different events for both groups. I make sure all of the other coordinators that assist me are doing what needs to be done and offer assistance if any is ever needed. If they are having problems getting things taken care of, I help them however they need it. If they need to step down from their positions, it is my responsibility to see that we find a suitable replacement. How long can you be active on the server everyday? At least 5-6 Hours, likely more. Also, I live on the East Coast of the USA and can be on during the day while most are at work/school. I have Skype on my desktop as well as my phone and can be easily accessed if a situation arises. How long have you been playing Mineverse? About 3 months Have you ever been banned in the past? Yes I have. Twice, once when I was new and I had 4 plots on prison. And then 2nd time was when I trusted someone, claimed a piece of land for my faction so they could protect their build. Well, they built a cactus duper and since it was built on my faction claimed land, I was banned for it. Do you have any past experience as a moderator? I have a lot of experience moderating online gaming communities as well as forums. I used to own several leagues within a website and ran those very efficiently. The only reason I gave them up was because at the time I couldn't put the time needed into them. During these years I trained dozens of tournament directors on how to properly do their jobs. If need be, I released them from their duties if their behavior required I do so. At times I had to "fire" my tournament directors, which were also my friends. It made it a tough job because most of them were personal friends of mine. I did lose a couple of friends over it, but I had to follow the rules of the server. While I was their friend, I was also their boss. Which two servers would you like to moderate? (Recommended pick the two servers you play the most) I really only want regular Prison. I would love to have a position that is higher up in the ranks because I can bring a lot to the table for Mineverse. But will gladly start out with this if given the opportunity. Ok all, I think that about wraps things up. I put tons of detail in it for everyone, and have made a lot of color too. I hope to see lots of support, especially from those who begged me to put my app back up. You know who you are ;) Hopefully my application will be accepted and I will be modding alongside a great group of people. -Dyna
The support is real.. Prison could really benefit from you moderating there. Full support! I have my fingers crossed for you.
Thanks for the support. I'm not quite sure I understand. How do I not know the community well? Because I don't post a lot on the forums? I'm on prison 24/7 and know that place like the back of my hand.
Support there is some good reasons why I support this player and I will tell you guys. - You are very helpful in-game. Always trying to help when people are asking questions. - Active. You are super active in Prison. - Mature. I have never seen you be rude, you always keep yourself up.
Greetings, Your application's content is fantastic! As much as I am normally not a big fan of color, yours was done in a way that kept it fun, without making it hard to read and detracting from the document. I enjoyed how you talked about previous experience working with communities and training other people to do the same. The one potential "add" I would have for you is in that section, maybe talk about some challenges you faced. Inevitably online communities can be fickle places, so what were some items that were tough, and how did you deal with it? Side note, massive props to you and your husband for the work as foster parents. That is a job that while difficult, is so valuable to every single one of those children. I hope they are all doing well these days. Best Regards, Melgrath EDIT: Since I did not actually say it, support.
Thank you for your reply! It got me to thinking about all kinds of other stuff I can add in to it. :P
Btw, use the reply button in the lower right corner of people's messages when you're responding to them :P
