What is your region? (North America, Europe, etc.):

I currently live in the United States and my timezone is CST which stands for Central Standard Time Zone. My timezone could alter in 1-2 years hence I'm currently in high school and will be heading off to start college very soon. This timezone would most likely be MST.

How long have you been playing on UnturnedRoleplay.com servers (roughly):

As of right now, I have been playing on Nylex's servers for most nearly 3 years and joined the forums around 2 and a half years ago. I have one account that has 1,962 hours on it of which are most entirely spent on Nylex's servers.

Tell us why you would make a good staff member and what you can do for the community:

To begin with, there are many opinions on me, such are good and others are bad. When you read this part of my staff app I hope you do forget about some of those unfortunate moments where I may have been toxic or unpleasant. Many of my dearest friends know me as having a funny-ish, goofy personality and much hate that. Much of the staff team could say that I don't have a very good staff material-like personality but that's not the real me, but we all know that is not what it takes to get on the staff team or earn their respect, after all Dolan had made it there so why couldn't I?

Anyways, I believe a true staff member doesn't have to be nice or have all these kinds of personalities. I believe they must know between right and wrong, be sensible, reasonable, and well-known. This subject is hard to approach but I realize that what all the community wants is an active staff. Many of the staff are hardly ever on anymore besides when Nylex gets on because of school, sports, family, etc in real life. While they may be active in the Discord and claim that they're on the server we all know this is not true. For much some time now I have seen the activity of staff slow down to whereas the safe zone shops become a ghost town and this is sad. This is not an attack on the staff but I wish to bring some realization to their heads that the community wants a good active staff that they can trust and that person is me.

To what was just said above, in the summer I managed to be on from 8 am — 12pm every day of those three months. Now when school had begun, I could get in at least 6 hours. You might be wondering what I am doing with my life as well do I, but I was extremely determined in getting this role that I sacrificed much of my time when it had become an everyday part of my life like brushing my teeth and making my bed. P.S. I don’t do that.

When it comes to the community, I am pretty well-known but not as much as I have been in past days, lots of people manage to deal with me and others dislike me for raiding or robbing them a few times but do not let their opinion skew yours. Within the role-play aspect of the server, I am a strong believer in it. I had run tons of varieties or role-play groups on Canada+ and Cherno which have influenced others to do the same. But this wasn't any ordinary role-play, this was hardcore role-play, and we loved every second of it. I ran military groups all the way to merchant groups and even role played as a farmer or fisher a lot of the time. While there was many bandits, I decided to make a change and become a good guy and add a bigger role play piece.

I have been in the Nylex community for much time now, ranging all the way back to the good old days of Canada+, that is when I wished to become a staff member and help the servers. From then on to this point right now that you are reading this have I been determined to build some respect for my name and become a staff member within the community and do good and bring justice. From Canada+ to Chernarus, I have reported tons and tons of rule breakers and gotten them banned such as the SAS and soon to be Nutman, he probably will be banned once you read this but my point is that I have been dedicated and determined to become such role in the community. I have taken the responsibility of the staff role and applied it to myself as a member. I played on this server for around 3 years and only managed to get 1 ban 2 weeks ago.

Again, a staff member should be honest and I feel as if I have exceeded this point. I never lied about any reports I have ever conducted on a player in this server, to an extent I have even reported some of my closest teammates and friends for the sake and safety of the server. Poor Robert O' Flanko knows about this and can be a witness to such event. When my team gets in tight spots with staff, and I was there, I was the middle man and cleared it up by showing the evidence that they had broken such rules.

As for the community, “I’m going to stop KOS and ban bad kids.” No, I can’t do that but I wish I could. If I become a staff member I will force myself to get on as much as possible and take care of the safe zone and any reports. I will keep track of such backgrounds on rumored rule breakers and host events for the community. And whilst this happens, I will run good role play groups instead of the ones who rob, raid, and pvp all the time and influence others to do the same. For much some time now, I couldn’t call this a role play server because all it was, was a survival server with rules, it’s time that we change that so we can experience priceless role play somewhat similar to Nylex’s videos.

Lastly, I have lots of experience in such roles. I have once been a head admin on Vext Roleplay, Modern Roleplay, Cosmic Creative RP, and hopefully UnturnedRoleplay. With such power, I have been sensible and reasonable, never have I abused such authority while being staff on these servers. With great power had come much responsibility, I had learned a lot from all these experiences.

And to end with, this has been the only reason that I have stayed on Nylex's server for the years because I wanted this role so badly, with hopes that I can get it this time but if I do not then I am going to do what I must and depart from Unturned and this server itself.
