How long have you been playing Minecraft: Since it came out
Tell us about yourself: Well I am 20 and I am a Game Programmer/Designer/Simulator in Training. Currently waiting for a new semester to start Computer Science in January and hope to make my own game soon. I've been into computer gaming for a very long time ever since my dad bought me my first computer. My first ever game on the PC was a game called SoldierFront back in 2006 Beta days then as I grew with my PC came Minecraft in 2009 Alpha stage. I just had a love for games and everyone I knew knows that too fact me going to school for Game Programming.
How many hours a week can you be active: A week Depends I have a lot of time on my hands so you will see me on at least 6+ Hours a day so I guess you can say 35+ Hours a week which all depends might be more seeing as I have all this free time.
Why you'd be good for the role: Well first off I have made my own minecraft server a couple of times and they failed due to LACK of STAFF, which was completely fine because it gave me knowledge in who to hire and how to oversee staff activities. Second I have worked on a lot of servers and been staff on many. Recent server was called Exode and as you can see here
http://exode.eternalgames.net/about.php I use to be GM, but sadly server has shut down but their other games are still running and I am still kinda active on site. I have extensive knowledge on many plugins and can give in site on some that might benefit the server. I have Extensive Management skills from Using excel to make schedules for staffing and time management and more.
Why should we hire you: I am an all around Flexible kinda guy. I get work done when needed, interact with members can be fun at times and know when to get serious about stuff. I have critical thinking skills and quick problem solving skills. And to get down to it I am very Honest when it comes to it. I let people know what or how it is and they have to take criticism how ti was given but I do not bash anyone and give respect where it is due.
Past experience : Made Server's in the past. One was DKCraft and worked on more. as previously stated was a GM on a recent server called Exode which went down a few weeks ago
http://exode.eternalgames.net/about.php and have worked on other servers with people.
What do you think the role of a division supervisor is: Well usually people don't call it Division Supervisor but more of Staff Manager I believe but in my knowledge it is to oversee all staff members and make sure they are doing their jobs accordingly and responsibly. It is to make sure no staff member takes advantage of what was given to them in anyway. You will have to make certain decisions when the owners are either away or leave you in-charge and you might have to make the decisions swiftly. Usually not for the soft minded that can't make hard decisions when he time comes.
Scenario - "A staff member bans a user for excessive swearing and hacking, the user appeals on the website and says he was not hacking and the staff member was being abusive towards him. What is the first thing you would do?"
A) Contact senior management member and request to see chat log prior the incident.
But to add on in this case I would be a Senior Management Member being that I would have authority to look up this info myself. So being said that I would look up the chat logs and determine if staff abuse was in play here. If not much was said in staff chat I would go to the players logs and see his Item rates depending on what he is acquiring, and if it seems he is getting to much of a certain item that is unique like Diamonds then we can come to a conclusion he is X-Raying which is classified as hacking and stick with the staffs decision for the Ban to stick.Method of communication (Skype/etc...): Skype
