    I've always played on both, and currently still do. I am certain that neither of my positions will affect the other. As stated in my application (under the 'Why you think you should become a mod' heading) I am good at managing my time.

    I personally agree.

    Even though I am restricted to apply for a staff position on any other server due to being helper on said server which is famous for Eggwars, I now understand the great responsibilities it takes to have a leadership position. I know the server I am helper on may be a lot bigger in terms of player base however I believe you should stick with the server you are currently a moderator on (Mineverse) and help out there and be more dedicated to it.

    I apologize this took a while to post but, you know... Christmas. I hope all of the good boys and girls got what they needed this year because the rest of us are grumpier than an elephant with a stuffy nose.

    Nice to meet you, ma'am. How do you say your name? Is it pronounced like "Clorox"...?

    •facepalm• Unless you happen to live inside a vehicle manufacturer I doubt your time zone is GMC. Did you mean to say "GMT"?

    +1 for 'Murica!

    They don't call us the "World Police" for nothing.

    Time zone error, 'Murican, English only, Mac user. Halfway to filling in this "Application Bingo" card already!


    Hold On.

    Getting A Drink.

    This is going to be fabulous.


    I'll have the court reporter enter that into the record. Please continue, Ms. Clorox.

    This made me roll around in my office chair making engine sounds like The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

    I can't stop laughing. Literally right after talking about unnecessary fluff/detail the very first qualification is a long winded way of saying "See Below". I'm dying here. :Hilarious: Remove this completely-- you even said it yourself: "Refer to the 'Do you have past experience as a moderator?' heading".

    OK...? So why are you personally a good pick for this position...? What makes you stand out? A lot of other applicants have forum experience, what do you bring to the table? For example does your forum experience mean you handle archiving and new account approvals quickly, reducing the workload for the entire team?

    "Not having a lot of fluff" isn't the same as "explaining how I can help the team". One extra line here won't hurt.

    You're halfway through this bungee jump! Just complete the rest of this with something like, "...which is important to being a Moderator because..."

    o_O Rephrase to take out "I play a lot of other SkyBlock servers"? Minor suggestion. In a real job application having a breadth of experience is a good thing. Not quite so much here; it's rather cutthroat.

    Glancing through the rest of this I can see you're making the same mistake repeatedly. So I'll say this right here and avoid a lot of typing: Go back through all of these and add one line that shows you understand how to apply your best qualities to this particular job. This is a grocery list of items... turn it into a recipe for greatness.

    Reading this is like watching Hillary Clinton sobbing quietly into a Lean Cuisine. No-one is getting anything out of it. Are you bragging you already know how to do the job..?

    Sidenote: "I know the rules" is a strange thing to list on an application. The rules are pretty much common sense ways of saying: Don't be a jerk to others. Why do people feel the need to point out they memorized the exact wording? Anyone that ends up arguing details is already wrong, it's a hilarious appeal to idiomatic antithesis.

    Unfriended.jpg
    Banksy has an argument to make here.

    First: If that "awkward teenager" line is an appeal to emotion then it is rather well played. Typically I recommend removing anything that sounds like a poor me from applications but that was worked in there rather well. Good job.

    Second: That was an excellent way of saying you can fill a time zone that needs more coverage without implying the current team doesn't do enough. That is a hard line to walk, +1 for getting across.

    You can't influence bias, the same way you can't get water wet. Rephrase to "any other reason that would affect my judgment".

    You are borderline between "unbiased" and "impartial" for this qualification. If you're going to talk about punishing people you need to go with impartial. Listening to others and forming opinions is closer to unbiased. Your call; can't help much with rewording.

    HOBOSPEECH.

    This is several topics crammed together. Pick a subject and stick with it. Are you listing time management skills? Previous experience? Academic excellence? Work/Life balance? Prioritization? Individually each of these subjects would be an excellent paragraph to talk about... but all together like this makes them bland.

    Approachable.
    Relatable. (why does spellcheck underline this word?)
    Empathetic.
    Enthusiastic.

    Pick a synonym and rewrite this. Having "people skills" is an enormous mark in your favor and can get you promoted. Don't gloss over this section. Love it like puppies love small children.

    For the love of Native American oil pipelines: WHEN!? When are you available for that 1 hour? Are you volunteering for the midnight to 1am shift...? Please provide a schedule, or at least say something like "late evening".

    ONCE-SO-EVER.

    OK, I laughed. Autocorrect trolled you a bit there: Please fix.

    Holy fark!

    :OO Now THAT is how you fill out the "Do You Have Experience" section. Honestly this may be all you need for a promotion, Ms. Clorox. You'd have to be a serial killer to earn a disqualification after that display.

    I'm staying neutral for now as when I was still relatively new to the server you were quite rude to me on the forums. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, it was when I asked why you disagreed with my post that I backed up with facts. You then came on to my profile, flaming me, demanding to know why I was "freaking out" over a disagree when I had just asked about it.

    ***EDIT: To be clear, I haven't seen you do something like this since then so if you keep that up you'll have my support as you are very qualified.

    I understand that. I suppose there's not really a way for me to change the way you feel about that. In ways, I'd agree. I just know I'd be able to benefit both servers.
    Thank you for the supports!
    That "Myrmidous has replied to your moderator application" notification was a heart dropper. Thanks so much. I'll get to fixing those errors you pointed out once I'm able to be on my computer.
    Yes, I remember what you're talking about after reading over this a few times with a wait wut look on my face. Gosh I must apologize for that. Thank you for the thoughtout response;

    Support. You were a great mod on MV on your first run. Still doing good your second. I'm sure you'll be able to handle moderating on both servers.

    Thank you everyone for the nice comments and supports.

    I've made some edits to my application, thanks to Myrmidous for giving me advice and suggestions.

    Just returned from my 8 day long adventure, and will be able to resume activity :)

    You're a great mod on Mineverse, and I don't think it would be any different on here. :p

    No support I don't think you can Moderate 2 servers because it might lead to a bias between servers. And I don't really see you in game that much I live in EST so No support
