Tell us about yourself: I am a junior (17 years old) in high school in Florida. I believe in being a good person, treating others nicely, and thinking through things carefully. I like to laugh, but I can also be serious and make sure rules are followed when needed. One thing about me is that I always try to see the good side of things. Whether it's cracking a joke or dealing with a serious situation, I aim to bring a postive vibe. I try my best to be considerate of people who may not know something and  try my best to put myself in their shoes.

Why should we consider you to be a staff member for our network?

Over time, I've become well-versed in the servers rules, ensuring fair play and a positive environment. I've also observed an increased number of instances involving rule-breaking and exploitation that I'm determined to help address and contribute to a cleaner and more enjoyable server for everyone.

One unique aspect I bring to the table is my ties to the "underground  community" of the server. This allows me get valuable information which would speed up investigations.In addition, I belive my ability to “think like an expoliter”  allows me to offer a unique perspective that equips me to understand the motivations behind certain behaviors. I'm committed to using  my connections  to help clean up the server, and I believe that as a member of the moderation team, I will be more effectively able to contribute to this effort.

Additionally,  I've noticed a staffing gap, especially during the North American/Eastern time zone. Im often online during these hours and see an opportunity to actively contribute to the moderation team, ensuring a consistent and supportive presence for players. I believe strengthening the team during these hours can significantly enhance the overall experience for players.

Moreover, even when staff is on, some of them are reluctant or unwilling to assist players. However, I am very eager to get the chance to enhance the players experience!  No matter how trivial the problem is, I will always respond eagerly and quickly.

Communication is a vital part of good moderation, and I feel it's a strength I bring to the table. I pride myself on being a good comunicator, I always take my time to explain rules to  new players to new players and address/help with those who may not be following them.  Clear and friendly communication is key to fostering a positive community.

In addition, I am very active in “support/reports” channels and try to help as much as I can.  I also find enjoyment  in helping new players start off and have an enjoyable experience. I often host events with large prizes to the best of my ability but am often limited in what I can do. I feel with a role on the staff team,   I would be able to enhance my events, better help players, and overall make a more enjoyable experience.

In summary, my extended history with the server, comprehensive understanding of the rules, my connections to the "underground community/“think like an expoliter," commitment to  fair play, availability during key hours, and eagerness to help players,  I believe makes me well-qualified to join the moderation team. I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute positively to the server's atmosphere and maintain its high standards.

Addressing my past bans:

Ban 1 - FRP: When I first returned to the server after a long break, I wasn't paying much attention to the rules. I wasn't familiar with them, and, to be honest, I didn't really care.

Ban 2 - Wipe/Plea deal/Vouching  for teammates: I take responsibility for my mistake in this ban.  I invited some people who ended up exploiting the game , and I didn't keep a close eye on them. Consequently, I was banned and wiped to ensure I wasn't holding onto any money or unobs from their exploits. I've learned from this experience and have changed my approach. Now, I select teammates more carefully and closely monitor their actions. I want to ensure the game is fair and enjoyable for everyone.

Ban 3 - Discord False Ban/warn: I faced a Discord ban due to a misunderstanding of what I said. The person I was  talking to didn't want me banned, as they agreed I didn't do anything wrong (had a normal conversation). Unfortunately, I got caught up in the actions of a larger group resulting in a ban.  After some quick explanations, I was unbanned. I've learned from this, emphasizing the importance of clearly expressing my intentions to avoid any  future misunderstandings. [View ban here]
