Hey Everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to read this application (or just scanning through it). I'll link my introduction(s) here in case you would like to read them and know a little but more about me

Here it goes:

In game name:

My in-game name is 'Fintan238' but my /nick is sometimes 'Fintan'.

Which timezone are you in?

I live in Sydney, Australia. This means I am in the GMT + 10:00 timezone or AEST

Which languages do you speak?

I can speak fluent English. I can speak French and Spanish very well (but not fluently) and I can speak extremely well in Japanese.

Have you ever been banned? (if yes, why?)

Yes unfortunately I have been banned twice. Once was for trading illegal items (sand) and the other time was for grieving sugarcane (all sugarcane now returned).
The first ban was for 1 day and the second ban was for 1 week. I regret doing these things and they were done when I was new to the server. If you would like to talk to me about these issues please feel free to private message me.

Why do you think you should be a Mod?

During my long time of playing skyblock I have noticed many things that would make me a great applicant for a moderator.

I have noticed (not just in skyblock but in my life) that I have many qualities to me that help me to be a better person and a leader and role model for others. I think that these qualities will help to be a moderator. I have learnt a lot in my life in the past year about myself and I think I am ready for the job.
I am always kind and caring to all the players in the community and I always help out wherever I can. I think the server needs someone who can be serious and fun at the same time and I know I can do that in an environment like this because I am usually on OP in my friend's servers.

Lots of people suggested that I applied for moderator and I think I'm capable, and so I'm giving it a go .

Also, I honestly think I would be really good at this job so I'm hoping to be able to prove myself to everyone and myself, and if I'm not the suitable person for this position I can always be demoted (I hope this is not the case).

Anyway, I hope that I am given the chance to prove to everyone on SkyBlock and also to myself, that I am capable of the leadership role that is a moderator.

If I was given the privilege of being a mod, I can promise to all of you that I will hold the position with dignity and respect and I will try my best when all hope seems lost. I will work my absolute best and keep my head held high. I guarantee that I will keep these promises and strive to be my best not just for the community but also for myself.

Here are some qualities I believe I have, that would help me become a capable Mod:

Active- Although I am still in school, I can still play quite often (see schedule lower down in application). Sometimes I may have exams or assignments which could potentially effect the amount of time I can play or be on the forums. I frequently go on the forums to check up on everything. I am frequently on Skype and TeamSpeak as well.

Dedicated- I am pretty dedicated to this server. I have been playing for around one and a half years and this is probably the only server that I have been active for more than a year for. I only come on MC to play SkyBlock and the only time I would play something else is if my friends are.

Experience- I have been playing sky block for about 1.5 years now so I am familiar with warps, people and the game in general. I know that I can answer most questions people ask on the public chat which also makes me helpful. This much experience gives me the wisdom to be able to decide what is fair and what shouldn't be done.

Friendly and Fair- I don't want to sound vain but I like to believe I am friendly and fair to the players on the server. I have made lots of friends on the server (not going to name people) through IG and Skype and TeamSpeak. I think I am an approachable person enough that people won't be afraid/confronted to ask me for help. Although I am nice to people, this will not hold me back to make the right decision as to if they should be punished for their actions

Hard Working- I try my best in everything that I do, including on SkyBlock. I work my hardest to be the kind of person that people can confront with out being intimidated or worried. I usually ask online Mods if they need help with anything. If I were to get Mod, I work do my best by working my hardest.

Helpful- I answer ALL possible questions that are asked by players on the public chat. You probably hear that a lot, but I can guarantee that I answer them all if I know the answer(s). I am also helpful because I can be on the chats and the server quite often to assist with any queries or problems that players may be experiencing. I am also a donor which allows me to /tpa to other players islands so that I can help out with anything on their island.

Intelligent- I go to one of the top 20 schools in Australia and I am quite intelligent. This will enable me to make decisions with intelligence as well as fairness. I can also type quickly if that helps. I am very familiar with the rules of SkyBlock also.

Responsible- Ever since I got banned for grief, I know the consequences for scamming/grieving so I never do it anymore. I always respect and obey the rules of SkyBlock and when I notice someone breaking them, I warn them of the consequences. Instead of just telling 1 person that they are breaking a rule, I say that rule is illegal to everyone so that the entire commnity and the person breaking the rule is aware.

Role model- As I know many players on this server, I can be a good role model. I was also school captain of my Junior School so I know how to be a good leader to a young audience (which is a large percentage of players on sky block). I believe I am a very approachable person so I hope nobody will be afraid or hesitant to ask me for help.

Team Player- I honestly believe that it is essential in life to be able to work in/as a team. Being an individual worker will get you somewhere but I believe that team players can achieve more. I am a team player and I always do what I can to benefit the entire group and not just myself and this is a large part of what Moderators do. I think I will be able to work amongst other people very well.

How long can you be active on the server each day?

Average School Week:
(In-Game)
Monday- 2-3 hours.
Tuesday- 1-2 hours.
Wednesday- 2-3 hours.
Thursday- 2-3 hours.
Friday- 3-5 hours.
Saturday - 10-12 hours.
Sunday- 6-8 hours

Average School Week:
(Forums)
Monday- 3-4 hours.
Tuesday- 2 hours.
Wednesday- 2-3 hours.
Thursday- 3-4 hours.
Friday- 3-5 hours.
Saturday - pretty much all day.
Sunday- 10ish hours.


I'm not always on forums or in-game this much because I don't need to be, and after I check my alerts and browse for a bit I don't have anything to do after that, but this is how long I CAN be in game or on the forums.

Do you have any past experience as a Moderator?

Yes I do have experience as a Moderator. I have been a Mod on a server with about 100-200 people on it at a time. So I am experienced with moderating in a large community like SkyBlock. I am also OP in pretty much all of my friend's small servers (this isn't really important but yeah) so I can be fun and responsible at the same time.

Final Notes~

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please be fair on how to judge this application by using Artie's thread of how to judge applications fairly. Thank you everyone for taking the time to reading this application and have a good day!

~thanks
