Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 12:50 pm
Age: 14 (Almost 15)
Timezone: UTC 3:30 (Newfoundland Time Zone)
How Long Have You Been On MCJ: 1 year
Postcount (At Time Of Application):6
Real-Life Friends On Server: Kolo57, Rocky535, kaos1559, meaney88, maxse123
Do you have Mumble? (If not why not): I did but my computer broke down requiring another download.
Have you ever been jailed/banned? (If so, why/how many times): Jailed once, for duping diamond blocks
Do you like The Lion King: YEAH! Great movie.
1. Assume you have the chance to replace one member of the staff team (Choices listed below). You may go straight from whatever rank you are right now, to completely replacing the user that you chose. Pick a member of the staff team, give three reasons why they are not fit for the job, one example of those reasons, and explain why you would be better suited for their position.
(Choices: Countypo, Nicolu, ExplodingBoxes, Caldrin, Drozknight, Korthic)
No offence to ANY staff or anything, but if I could replace someone, it would be ExplodingBoxes. Compared to the other staff members, he isn't very hands on and doesn't work like the other staff members in my opinion. Also, he tends not to defuse aggressive situations very well and still leaves people pretty angry. The last thing is, he tends to side with certain people in arguments, potentially his friends, and doesn't use the proper course of action. If I could replace him (which I don't want to), I would try my hardest to deal with all the problems i have in my grasp.
2. Suppose that you're accepted for the VIP application, and you share this with a close friend or sibling who also plays Minecraft. Unfortunately for you, that friend/sibling is a jerk, and logs into your account while you are not in the house. They then proceed to grief people, tpkill, jail tons of people, and cuss out the staff. You know that we punish players by the account on this server, and that the punishment will go directly to you. How do you choose to appeal this?
First off, I would make a sincere apology to the entire server on the behalf that it is my account. I would then post a topic explaining that I can attempt to clean up my sibling's actions if possible. I would then get him to confess of what he has done and get him to apologise as well. If none of these actions work, I must face the consequence's of my sibling's poor actions a.k.a; a ban.
3. A week after becoming VIP and befriending some of the staff, you find out that Caldrin, Countypo, and TheDoleking are planning on faking a situation that would give them a reason to ban a user that they disliked on the server. This user is completely innocent, only being guilty of being annoying to the staff. You’re a new staff member and nobody really trusts you that much yet, and Caldrin/Countypo/TheDoleking are threatening to have you demoted and banned if you rat on them, and you have no evidence except for your word. How do you react to this situation?
The first thing I would try to do is, to defuse the situation and explain to the staff what they are doing is completely wrong and that they should know better. If that doesn't work, I would try to quietly alert an admin (Korthic, Kommy, Fabeth etc.) providing one is present. If luck is against me and there is no admin, I could message the player on what is happening and that he should try not to do anything out of the norm. If the corrupt staff catch me, and ban/demote me, I would try to message an admin or post a topic regarding this madness.
Also, I haven't been on MCJ for a long time, due to my laptop breaking, rendering it useless. I'll try to be a lot more active while on the server and try to help new or old players with day-to-day tasks.
