    • My in-game username: saaturnd
    • Discord tag: saaturnd
    • What time zone am I in? EST
    • Can I speak any additional languages? I only speak English. Although I am not great at speaking Spanish, I can understand most of it.
    • Do I have the necessary means of capturing evidence? I do. I am able to capture and save chat logs via mods, in addition to having an extended number of lines for chat to view older messages in-game. I also take several screenshots in-game when I feel it is necessary, and I have the ability to screen record.
    • How long can I be active on the platforms everyday? I am active at least 2-3 hours every day, but usually more if I am not at work or school.
    • When did I first join Skyblock? I played on /classic around 2014-2016 when I was about 11-13 years old on co-op with friends. I’ve been actively playing again daily on /skyblock since June 2024.
    • Have I ever been banned on any platform? I have not.
    • Do I have any past moderation experience? I was briefly a helper on a much smaller creative server when I was 14/15, however the server has been since down and closed. My tasks were to moderate and prevent griefing, arguing, and swearing.
    • Why do I think I should become a staff member? I think I would make a good addition to the team because I love helping out wherever I can. My main motivation to become a helper is that I want to engage and bring together the lovely and wholesome community of Skyblock. I love organizing, helping, watching things grow, and planning events. Becoming a staff member would give me the space to contribute my ideas, creativity, and help. The Skyblock Awards, an event I am hosting on /skyblock is just one of the many ideas and projects I’d love to share with this community. I am also very friendly and love interacting with others. It’s never annoying to repeat myself, especially if I am helping new players learn commands or how to play the game. I am a quick learner, I can de-escalate situations and remain neutral during conflicts.
    • Do I meet the requirements for staff? I do. I have the time to commit and I have the space and will to adapt my play style as needed. I am familiar and well-versed with the discord, forums, and Skyblock rules. I have two-factor log-in set up. I own a discord account and I have a clean record across all platforms; I have never been muted, banned, or kicked on any of them. I am trustworthy, open to all criticism, and always enjoy being part of a team!

    Support for this is an understatement for me. Saaturnd is one of the most considerate, kind people I have met in life, not only on this server. If you're ever wondering if someone cares, you don't have to wonder with her. I remember when I first found Saat, a little greenie with boots on the ground building this badass little island. From my first chat with her something stuck.

    Most people reading this, probably all have rank on the server. Whether it be knight or titan. There's something we all take for granted which is simply being seen. Saaturn did not care that she was broke. The only shops you could find on her island were free shops for new players. "Greenies" have about a 50/50 chance of being completely ignored when they type in chat. Saat stuck out to me that day, I saw her. After knowing her for almost no time at all I knew she deserved to be seen.

    Her drive to get better, to help more people. It's never been about herself. We all do things for ourselves sometimes, we have to. But even doing so she remains selfless. It's not to have piles of grass, it's to run events. It's to be able to help this person, and that person without worrying about what it costs. That's what makes Saat special. In all my time I've known her, she will always find a way to make it about others.

    I could write a book on this, but I'll stop here and just say SUPPORT!!! I can't think of a single person more deserving, or one who would use it for more good.

    I haven't interacted or met you on skyblock before, but thats me personally as I haven't been as active in the time since you returned, I'll vote neutral for now, however from others' recommendations I can see that you're a positive helper candidate and I'll definitely move to support in future if I see you actively helping others in game :heartface:✨️

    Someone who cares about the new players and making them feel like they have a chance to survive the brutal economy of Skyblock in general (not just eco but survival as well) is just what this team could use. I have had a couple interactions with you, but based on what keys had to say and how fevernt he was, I believe you are genuine in your strive to make the space more interesting. As I am retiring my support may not mean much, but I hope that it influences some to believe that help with basic customer service and helping with player retention is what lacks in the staff team, and you would be a good addition.

    Support! I have always seen Saat being super friendly and helpful to everyone. I think she is very active in this community as well and I think she would make a great addition to the team. :)

    Support. To me, the responses to staff app threads are a bit like electing a judge. In my opinion, the most important thing to consider when choosing your response is, "Would I be comfortable having this person making a fair and impartial judgement over me?". If the person is saaturnd and the topic is Skyblock, I believe my answer would be yes. She has been an active, friendly and helpful member of the community for a long period, and I've never seen anyone have more than a momentary issue with her, which was always resolved quickly and amicably.

    Side note:
    I've always found it pretty unreasonable to have application periods drawn out over many months or even years. With the amount of hoops applicants are expected to jump through (regular updates/bumping on app, maintaining high levels of activity on both econ and survival, responding to every random personal issue that comes out of the woodwork in comments section, etc), it's a wonder anyone manages to make it through without massive pre-existing insider approval. Even college applications have a shorter turnaround time than most applications I see in the 'accepted' and 'withdrawn' archives. I hope you accept her and quickly, so we can have another capable and active staff member :)

    Thank you all so much for your kind words and support :heart: it means the world and just motivates me to do more further!

    Keys, I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtful reply. This means so much to me. I cannot wait to run more events, and I am already planning my next one after the Skyblock Awards' successful turnout today! Events and engagement mean a lot to me, and importantly to the server. It's such a great feeling when you watched someone join the server and start with nothing and then they become something, and I love playing a role, even if small, in that. There's something so special about the place and for every person that sticks around and contributes the community in any kind of way, that specialness grows!

    Thank you Abbie, hopefully I get to see you around :)

    Thank you for your words, Grepatue. I believe that being a staff member isn't just about moderating and policing, but engaging and interacting with the community as well which is one of the focal reasons I wish to be part of it. I've worked in customer service ever since I've had a job, so interaction, mediation, and helpfulness isn't too difficult a task for me but more like a second nature. I appreciate you think that I could be useful to the team. Even if you're retiring, your support means a lot still, regardless!

    Gamer, I love your judge analogy. I truly appreciate your feedback and I am so glad that you would feel comfortable with me making a fair and impartial judgement over you. It's an important part of my morals to view all people as equal, which means it is very important to me to view things in the most rational way possible and to not act upon emotion alone or bias, so this being visible to you makes me glad that it reflects. I also appreciate that you would want me accepted quickly and that you think I'm capable and active. Like my other replies, words like these are motivators to keep doing even more in this lovely community.


    Thank you all for your support and feedback thus far :)

    Hey everyone, I apologize for my inactivity the past two weeks. I have not quit and will return to my regular playtime soon. I've encountered some life/personal stuff that I am dealing with, but it's only temporary. I will return shortly with a brand-new and big event for our lovely community that involves all ranks and both of the servers. Thank you all for your messages and support :heart:

    "sorry for inactive"

    *adds 17 hours to playtime

    This timely and courteously professional update shows that you take this application seriously and that even in times of personal turmoil are making time to maintain your image and presence on the server. Very staff :)

    I'm already support, but if I could suggest anything to make you more likely to get accepted I'd say get a bit more active on forums!

    Noted, Butter! I know I've been quiet lately, and I mentioned about a week ago earlier that I've been a bit inactive on all platforms, but considering that life stuff affecting me has been clearing up, I can jump back in and be more active than ever! :) I tend to read a lot of posts without providing my input so that I can stay informed still, but I'll do my best.

    Thanks, Gamer! Of course I couldn't forget. I'll be back 100%, always. The place means a lot to me and I couldn't remain silent without saying something!
