I'm willing to do the job. I don't feel the need to convince anyone that I should have it, I have simply offered to do the job. You don't get anything from being a mod, so I really have no incentive to convince anyone to give it to me. It's an open offer to help the server.
I think I’ve posted here before but I will tell you what makes a good staff member imo now. - A selfless attitude - A willingness to conform - Dedication to the server - Humily - A kind heart - Maturity I didn’t tick all those boxes. But I know a staff that does. He is what people should strive to be. He spends his free time to help others and the only reward wants is seeing the server flourish. He follows the staff traditions and wants to learn how everyone else does things so he can do things right. He is dedicated to the server as much as I was. He is always humble and displays humility in every interaction he has with others. He has the kindest heart and is most mature staff member. Leeeroieee I hope you know I consider you the best moderator on this server, even better than I am in over 3 years of my service. Time zones and availability are secondary. They help fill the gaps but there isn’t a point in an inactive mod or someone not dedicated filling one of them. You want staff who will make players experiences great, not worse. And people that want staff should want this too. Those people are hard to come by.
Aww, you're too kind, Krissy. I'm really the most junior person on the team and the least experienced, though. The only reason I don't mess up too badly or more often is that I have so many people in the team and the community guiding me and being so patient with me when I make mistakes. I just feel grateful and lucky to have been given this opportunity, and I want to do my best to help in my own small way. I can think of so many others who deserve this type of praise much more than I do, but it's very sweet of you to think of me just the same.
Sometimes, experience means a lot. But sometimes there are people out there who you know will succeed. You are humble about all you know. All you needed was a little nudge and you could make it on your own. You deserve the chance to shine. Be that amazing staff member.
I consider myself a rather honest person. Brutally so, but what the hell. If I could ever find my old Org staff app that actually became remotely successful (didn't get promoted, and I know exactly why xD), I'd have proof, but I don't feel like digging. Point is, I did state my exact reasons for wanting to become mod, and it was because of that honesty that the application did as well as it did. Allow me to see if I can remember some of what I said here.. Ah yes. I stated something along the lines of wanting to become moderator because Org's staff team is rarely on (this was when I was on for six hours a day n s*** because i have no friends mum help), and I felt that it would be better for a dude who's on for six damn hours a day to be there rather than people with that "friendship and work" mumbojumbo. But that's the good stuff. You want the background, of course. I truthfully wanted to become mod because I believed nearly all of the drama told to me, spreaded that s***, and then went about my day. Hell, that's why the majority of the org players left; hatred for Cypriot, and the economy being terrible. I wanted to join to see if that's the truth, to get behind the scenes and figure out if Cypriot and the staff were that terrible. Some of the things I'd heard done were flat out awful, and I didn't want to be spreading stuff that wasn't true. Of course, I did want to do my job as a moderator, but that was probably my biggest influence. I do regret spreading some of that drama, and other parts I don't. To this day, I don't know many things about Cypriot and how he treats the staff, and in becoming mod, I hoped to learn more about that and the other staff members. If any of the things that I said in getting to where I did in the community were false, which some probably were, I apologize to those related to it. If I was promoted, I probably would have tried to figure out the answers to those questions, and then most likely just have been your regular mod. Probably a brutally honest and rather unforgiving mod, but hey, everybody has their flaws.
