    Long time no bump >.>

    As of Sunday, I am officially graduated from highschool, so that's neat. On that note, that means I can now be more active finally, as I was on quite the period of inactivity.
    Hope to see yall more :D


    Heya Souly! I am glad you notice my dedication and commitment, a trait I also feel like is vital as a staff member, as there can be some challenging things along the way. Thank you for thinking I am doing great in this current position, especially for how innactive I have been xD Although hope that means when I actually am on every bit, that I meet the standards of my role.
    Thank you for your reply :heart:

    Hi Emy, thanks for the reply :) Aswell as the support!

    Hi Slag, fist of all, great job on your promotion! Thank you for the support and the opinion towards me :) It means alot, and your now a helper, so it's nice to have an opinion like so from someone in that position.

    Luka! Thank you for maintaining such a view of me from such an early point of my application, and putting your trust in me being a good candidate. I appreciate it :heart:

    Thank you for always resupporting PC! It means alot :heart:

    Mentor!! Thank you for supporting me and thinking I should be blue :) It means alot :heart:
    My activity should be increasing :)

    Hey Bert, Thank you for bumping and resupporting so frequently, its alot of support and its very appreciated :heart:

    It’s funny to see that people with an application open for a month with half your supports gets added immediately, goes to show it’s a popularity contest. Re-support. Staff should be ashamed of themselves. 2 years.

    That's how it has always worked sadly, and it should change but it's most likely not going to. If the mentor program actually came to be like it was promised for 1+ years and talked about constantly, Vorty most likely would be a part of the team, as well as some other applicants, as they would've had proper training and conversations with a super mod mentor and be able to show their capabilities of working on a team, and their own additions they can bring.

    When you have a certain super moderator promising the mentor program for 1+ years barely responding to DM's, then sends a group message to all the applicants about the program, then goes inactive again (still is) and never sends another update or message to the applicants, that's the issue. Nothing was ever done about that from the higher ups, no explanation was given, it was just totally abandoned due to someone not being able to fulfill a promise they made over a year ago for a simple program, as most applicants were being overlooked with applications open for years, not even being able to get the oppurtunity to see what they can bring. So all these applicants were left with nothing, and have already lost confidence at that point, I'm glad to see that Vorty is still applying, but I can tell they've been through a lot with empty promises just by the events that have happened in the past few yeras.

    Everything should've been handled better, and when brought up to the Higher ups was just totally disregarded for trying to harp on someone's 1+ year inactivity, there's obviously some issues with the staff team that has been around for years now when a simple mentoring program can't come to be because someone is way too busy to be apart of the team, just give it to someone else that can handle the responsibility and time so these applicants are able to actually show the team what they are capable of, instead of having a birds eye view of just chat messages sent to help players, actually get to talk to these applicants. The team just left all these applicants un notified and unnoticed and that does suck.

    Anyways, that's just something that has always bothered me and some other applicants, and I did bring it up because I totally feel like the mentoring program would've given the oppurtunity for Vorty to become a part of the team by now and directly corolates with this application as it would most likely be closed by now. I still support this and I really have never seen an application open this long, to the point where the applicant truly deserves it, and it's a shame the team overlooks these types of applicants that are still going strong after barely getting any recgonition, not knowing any reasons why they aren't on the team after 2+ years, and not having the proper mentor program that would've made applicants like Vorty ready to be on the team as a Helper to see what they are capable of.

    I'm glad to see that Vorty is a Discord Moderator though, that usually means they are being considered for the staff team position, however, this should've happened a very long time ago, and I'm glad Vorty has not thrown in the towel as most people would've by now if they had barely any answers in the past 2 years.

    Maybe they have a reason to not promote a player to Helper role, but this should be stated to the player as soon as they made this decision so it doesn't give them false hope, if that's the case.

    It was decided a month after this was posted. Staff are too busy to deny the application.

    2 years application, no reasoning with a support count far greater than most newly accepted counterparts and a ratio of support:no-support better than almost every recent accepted applicant is ridiculous.

    Placing my bet on 2025 being the year you finally get a response! Hopefully we get one soon though, and it’s a much deserved positive one :p

    These applications are truly pointless because at the end the of the day the only thing that matters is if the staff team like you or not.

    I've commented on vortys application.
    Why is this relevant?
    Well, I'm his mentor.
    What does this mean?
    This means that I'm here to support him throughout his time as dmod but also in his application.
    He's been told what we're looking for and if we didn't think he was extremely promising, he wouldn't be a dmod.
    His commitment is phenomenal. Yes it has been long but as vorty has mentioned, he wasn't ready before. I'd much rather see him thrive as helper knowing we promoted at the right time rather then promoting too early and have him struggle like some staff have in the past.

    I hope you all can respect this.
    Just because you cannot see the support, doesn't mean it isn't happening. :)

    You know you have my full support vorty

    AS SOMEONE WHO had a whole bunch of no supports that has since neutralized or changed a bit I can respect this and can say FREZ IS SOMEONE WHO WONT SUGARCOAT BUT WILL ALSO GIVE CREDIT WHEN ITS DUE! I feel like this is to be said abt other staff and y'all be quick to jump and say it's because people have staff friends undermining the integrity of those staff members. Why would they put their neck out for their friend and risk their position over favoritism when/ if that person isn't ready? Y'all need more trust for the people in charge and need to stop thinking they're out to get you guys! I think vortys showed his commitment, his willingness to change and willingness to hear out others more THAN ANY OTHER STAFF APPLICANT RIGHT NOW INCLUDING ME! I know im not perfect and have things to work on and im trynna better myself but VORTYS ACTUALLY HAD THE EXPERIENCE to understand what he needs to work on! IM TIRED OF THESE HATERSSSSSSSSS VORTY U DESERVE STAFF! Dont let them tell you you haven't put in your work, they dont understand that being friends with or close to staff is a part of ur betterment because you have to listen to ppl who've already been through ur struggles to get better as a person and its easier to listen and get advice when ppl understand ur nature as a person because they won't( most ppl won't) call you out if you they dont know you because MOST PEOPLE dont want to make you mad because most people (NOT YOU) will get mad when they hear things from ppl they dont know bc it seems like sabotage! ITS NOT ABOUT GIVING U AN UPPERHAND FOR ur acceptance as a staff member its about hearing people out without anger or resentment or negative emotions so you can actually work on ur problems as a person instead of being angry about them! BECAUSE I WAS FRIENDS WITH STAFF WELL BEFORE APPLYING and they would tell me hey Austin I want to support BUT I think you need to work on this! AND I WOULD AND EVERYONE ELSE WOULD SEE THAT and then change their opinions! YOU DONT NEED TO BE PERFECT TO BE STAFF, YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THINGS AND DO THEM BETTER AND ACT ON THAT! AND THATS SOMETHING I SEE U DO EVERY TIME YOURE ASKED
    Also before y'all are quick to jump and say if ur friends with staff you'll get staff, I want you to be friends with staff then apply on some real stuff and see if you get staff, you won't because these "favoritism" games you have in ur mind dont go all the way up to the people in charge and most of the time are isolated situations that have been dealt with! KERAHNA AND KRISSY ARENT OUT HERE TRYNNA BE everyones friends and they are the ppl who decide ultimately WHO STAFF IS! and they're not gonna pick someone bc they're friends, they're gonna pick people who can actually fulfill the role
    thank u for coming to my ted talk

    If he wasnt ready to be staff 2 years ago he should have been denied. He can always reapply later when he feels ready.

    Or maybe the staff have a process that they have found works, through trial and error, and those of us outside it should realize that our "they should x" opinions may not be founded on a basis of reality.

    See, while I understand your pov you have to understand it's better to leave these posts open to gain more insight and trust with people, for example, my first application I was not ready and I deleted and then reposted at a later date once I felt more capable and had seen improvement in myself and was worked on the thing I was told I needed to fix. After that, I was told it was shady and I should've just left them up! I think vorty did the correct thing here... considering a big part of a staff member is showing ur willing to change and improve for the betterment of the server.

    I'm upset that I never got to see you join the staff team, your long-term dedication to this application, forums, discord, in-game, etc. has been tremendous and appreciated. In my 7 years here, I've never supported an applicant as much as you, I've been a Vorty supporter since I first met you. I know you've had some alternative reasons for closing this and leaving, but I can only imagine what could've been if the mentor program actually was followed through, and you got some answers to your long waited application. It really sucks that this is the type of process the staff has to join the team, and shame on those who have been overlooking applicants and applications such as Vorty for a very long period of time, as you would've provided a ton to the team and the community, while being active on all platforms.

    Wish you all the best for your next adventures!
