Hey, may I apply for Admin/Head Mod? Here is my application, this was for a previous server, that has now sadly shut down, but I can still use the app
Name: Alpha (Matt)
IGN: Alphaghost107
Age:14 (I may be a teenager, But trust me, I am more mature than the average teen)
TS3?: I do now have TS3 and Skype.
Previous experience: I have been an Admin on another server (GC), However that may shut down soon, And a Mod on another called ReCraft. I also own a Hamachi server, Although that is really just to test my coding. Those servers have taught me what having a bit of power is like. It has also shown me just how much of challenge being a member of staff can be at sometimes, But likewise has helped me share in all of the fun and joy that can come out of it.
Plug-ins you are familiar with: I am familiar with most plug-ins, Some of them being: MCMMO, WorldGuard, WorldEdit, CoreProtect, Essentails / CommandBook, LWC, NoCheat etc.
Pictures of things you have built before: I have uploaded two of my builds here. (If you’d like any more than let me know)
http://imgur.com/a/W4ITk#zRJ0Vwm Other Minecraft related skills you have: I am good at speaking to people, Can solve problems / arguments fairly and have a good sense of humor. I know what punishments to give to someone for different offences and know what are classified as 'Against the rules' and what's not. On top of all this I can also play a major role in the website (When it comes along) by helping to write information on what’s happening on the server, And keep everyone up to date on what’s being added etc.
Why you want to be an admin: I want to be an Admin because I would love to help you guys run a successful MC server. I love to help people out and am generally a nice guy. I want to share in the joys of your server and make people feel welcome and safe on it. And if they are, Then that makes me happy.
Why I want you to be an admin: You would like me as an Admin because I can keep the server running smoothly while you are gone, And am also a good laugh. I can help you out by testing things for you, And can solve problems well. I am a good team player and can listen to what others have to say and can bring my own ideas to the table. I can take feedback from players and pass them on to you and help you decide on who you think should get new staff roles.
How much time you could dedicate to the server: Alot of time. Around 4 - 12 hours depending on the day.
If you had a server of your own, how would you run it?: I ran my Hamachi server with a zero tolerance to griefing / stealing etc. I liked to keep things calm and friendly. We'd share in a joke or two and things were good. I'd get around to everyone's requests and reward good players. I'd select staff wisely, And took feedback from the players. They suggested some of the mini-game plug-ins that we ended up using daily from then on. It had a nice, Welcoming atmosphere to it. One which I hope to bring to your server if given the position.
Scenario 1: In the PvP server, there is a player who seems like a younger player and doesn't usually bother anyone else, but does tend to annoy some of the other players in the chat. Then one fateful day, a player comes into his house where he lives alone, and destroys a wall and empties his chest. The younger player keeps spamming the chat saying that he x-rayed into his house calling him a griefer. What do you do?: (This answer is from a scene where griefing / stealing is okay) First thing I'd do, is calm everyone involved down, And take note of their usernames. I'd then take a few 'statements from others players not involved as to what they witnessed in the chat. (i.e. any other times the user has been blamed for x-raying etc.) I'd then take a note of that too, Before asking the younger player what his side of the story is, After hearing it, I'd ask the accused what his side is, Before putting all of the notes together. If the statements match, Then I'd try tell the younger player what the situation is, and tell him that stuff like this happens in this game. However if they didn't, Then I'd ask the younger player if there had ever been any history between him and the witness and if they think he would twist a story or if they are friends with the accused. If yes, Then I would proceed to ask another user what they witnessed. I would get an overall summary of what happened and then solve it from there by handing out the correct punishment.
Scenario 2: It's a slow day for the server, not too many new players have come on today. It's mostly just older players on mining, nothing too exciting. Then, in the chat you notice a message that says one of the new players just founded a town. You remember that you need a lot of money to start a town, way more than one person could make in less than a day. You check his rank and he isn't a donator either, what do you do?: The first thing I'd do, Is ask him where he got the money / resources to build such a thing. If he says that he got it from another player, Than I'd ask that player next time he's on if that's true. If yes then fair do's. But if not, then I'd jail the user, And explain the situation. Either he tell's me where he got it or he'll lose the money / items and I'll keep hold of them until he gives me a legitimate reason as to where they are from. If he says that he has stolen them straight away them then I would return the items back to the original owner and warn him very strictly that this is his final warning, That I'll be letting you know, And that I'll be watching him closely from now on. If he doesn't tell me, Then I will simply take the items from his inventory, And temp-ban him. I'd then let you know the situation and let you decide on what happens next.
Scenario 3: You aren't paying attention to the server, you're logged in, but you're AFK floating above the spawn. You have another tab open looking at weird stuff on amazon. You decide not to spend your money on stuff that will make people think you have mental issues every time they walk into your room. You click back onto Minecraft and the chat notifies that you're no longer AFK. As soon as it pops up, multiple players start telling you that a newly appointed moderator keeps kicking people. You ask him, and he admits to it, but says that they were spamming the chat. You look in the console and dont see any spamming. What do you do now?: I'd tell him straight up that there is no proof of this in the logs, And ask him why he kicked them. If he doesn't 'spill the beans' as to why he did it and keeps going on with the 'spamming chat' story, Then I'd jail him and keep him there until he gives me what really happened. If he doesn't tell me after around 10 minutes then I'd simply /mute him and ask other players what they saw happening, I will then take note of what they have to say. Then /unmute him and ask him if these accusations were true. If he admits to it, Then I'd unjail him, But also let him know that you will be hearing about this. If he still says that they were spamming chat then I'd /mute him again and leave him in jail until you decide what to do with him.
As an admin you may be asked to help with advertisement for the server, explain what you would do and why you think it would work: I would help you guys out by helping set up a YouTube channel and creating a few introductory videos on the server. What It contains, What to do, What it's all about etc. I would also help you guys out by creating forum posts on all of the MC forums I can find. (i.e. PMC) and also advertise your server on Minecraft server lists. On top of all that I would make a banner representing your server and set that as my signature on all of the forums I am a part of. However, I would not spam a short description and the IP on Yogscast videos / PewDiePie or on other servers as that is not a good way to advertise and is very annoying. As I get more ideas and new innovative ways of advertising your server, I will do those along with the above too. As for the banners, The ones I have designed are in the same folder as my builds listed above. One of the banners was made from using a website on the Internet, The other being made from hand in Photoshop. I can always make another or redo one if needed.
Tell me about yourself: I am a teenager from the UK that likes playing Minecraft. I love to help people out and like to help out in the community. I have played MC for around 3 to 4 years now and therefor know what stuff does in the game. I am an active player and am on almost everyday. On weekdays I am on for around 2 - 5 hours however on weekends I can be on for alot longer. (Around 10 - 12 hours if I have nothing else that I urgently need to do.)
Anything else you want to add: I am from the UK and so that means that I can keep the server running well while you guys in other parts of the world are asleep. I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon, And hope that this has convinced you as to why I should get the role. If you would like to know anything else then I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have through here, PM or in-game. And finally, Thank you for giving me this opportunity to help you out!
