Hi Dear Readers,

The mere fact you are reading these words means you are about to journey with me through my view as a High-Rank Staff Member on the REAL number 1 server.

You might know the server I work on. It's called ObsidianCraft. I strongly recommend you check it out. Just tell 'em Terry sent you!

Ok, back on topic. As stated already, I am a SemiAdmin. Not to be confused with Admin, or ObsidianAdmin. No... I am SemiAdmin.

My job on the server is quite simple. The majority of my job is website based, but I do come in game to help out random people.

My routine is simple as well (sorta):
  1. Get on Website
  2. Get on server
  3. Get on Teamspeak
  4. Say Hi and notify everyone that I'll be on the forums if they need me.
  5. Go to Website Forums
  6. Open separate tabs for Ban Appeals, Server Suggestions, Staff Applications, and Staff Discussion.
  7. Attempt to answer/process Ban Appeals
  8. Look at Staff Applications (incl. having a giggle over horribly under-qualified applicants)
  9. Answer NICELY to Staff Applications. (Within reason of what you'd call nice. I'd say telling the truth is paramount.
  10. Switch to Server Suggestions and input my two cents on each suggestion.
  11. Switch to Staff Discussion to look at the 1 or two threads that have been replied to in the last week.
  12. Go through entirety and archive old/resolved posts. (we take archiving very seriously).
  13. Get bored of being on website.
  14. Switch to Minecraft.
  15. Monitor Chat and kick foul language users. Tempban Spammers, and Permaban Griefers.
  16. Help people in game.
  17. Refuse to world edit massive things like diamond and/or obsidian towers 20 times (as this causes server lag and the material becomes spawned.
  18. World Edit land away for random people. (as people are often too lazy to clear 200,000 blocks of dirt, stone, and ore themselves.
  19. Realise I have spent 5 hours on my computer and bid everyone farewell.
  20. Disconnect from everything.

So you see? Nothing too big. I do this on a daily basis. With a few things added here or there.

Occasionally we do have "occurrences" that don't usually happen on a daily basis.

I am thinking of taking up learning Java code so I can develop Plugins. however this is restrict due to higher education.

I guess there isn't much more I can say...

So I'll see you next time.

If you have any questions, just PM me or email me at me@terrenceawatson.com

See ya next time, Tree Punchers!
