[CLOSED] VIP Application Archive [CLOSED]

Post by Korthic »

Application for VIP will be open from CLOSED

Read the following very carefully, anyone who does not qualify and applys will have no chance of getting the promotion this time around.


Requirements for becoming a VIP:
+ Be active on the forums, ingame chat, and be able to log onto Mumble while playing. We like people who talk.
+ A good level of english: Typos are fine, second language is fine. 'ppl who r typin like dis or any1 simlar' are not.
+ Plays for at least 10 hours a week, preferably as much as possible. You WILL get removed from VIP if you don't play often and contribute.
+ Friendly and helpful within the community. Knowledge of plugins and features is preferred but not essential.

Remember:
1)You may NOT ask our staff team anything about you being promoted, unless they ask you first. Do NOT bother our staff team about your application. This thread is how you ask us if you can be VIP. We will come to you afterwards if we are interested.
2)You are allowed to re-submit your application after two months or more have passed. Please quote you original application and its timestamp for our ease of navigation.
3)If you are accepted, this does not mean you are above ANY server rules. In fact you are held to a higher standard than other users. Breaking any rule can result in a demotion, kick or ban, depending on the severity.
4)Also, at anytime, you can and will be demoted if the staff team feels that you are not properly doing your job, or are not living up to the standard we hold you to. We are a self moderating staff team, and we do not tolerate abuse among our ranks.
5)When we are looking for staff members, we look at VIP members before we look at regular users. Might come in handy some day.

By applying you realize:
1) VIP is our lowest rank of our staff team, and will put you in a position of authority and power over all users below you. You must abide by the rules more closely than all of the other non-staff on our server, for you will now be the standard that users hold themselves to.
2) Being a member of the staff team does not mean you get to be respected more than any other user, or can punish users more harshly for breaking the rules against you. On Minecraft Junkie, all users are to treat all users with the same respect, regardless of rank. Staff are here to serve, not to be served.
3) Should you be chosen, you will most definitely run into problems while moderating. If you are having difficulty with understanding what to do, remember that you can contact any staff member to help you out. You don't have to lone wolf it. This isn't a job, it's community service, and with an online community you need all the help you can get.


If you MEET THE REQUIREMENTS:
You need to answer the following questions. Please answer them in full and spend some time on them. It's obvious when people only spend 5 minutes on their application and that's really not good enough. One sentence answers are a waste of your time.



==VIP Profile==
Age:
Timezone:
How Long Have You Been On MCJ:
Postcount (At Time Of Application):
Real-Life Friends On Server:
Do you have Mumble? (If not why not):
Have you ever been jailed/banned? (If so, why/how many times):
Do you like The Lion King:



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)


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?


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?

age:15

GMT -7 hours i play any times of the day, mostly in early morning and afternoon

If you could change one thing about MJMC what would it be?
If i could change anything i would add a lottery system so people can buy lottery tickets and if they win, then they win all the money people bought with lottery tickets.I would also like to the admins on more

Who is your favorite current staff member (non admin) and why?
My favorite current staff member is Thedoleking, he has helped me a lot whenever i needed it.I love having someone like doleking help out the comunity and i want to be the same way.

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?
I want to be a vip so i can help the community, and help the newbies, like the vips helped me.
For anyone that is annoying to anyone i want to be able to mute them so the server community can play in peace.

Which one of MJMCs rules do you think is most important?
I think the most important rule is: no griefing because no one likes being griefed especially me. Anyone i catch greifing i will make sure they receive swift justice. I also think that greifing can ruin anyones' day.I would know because it happened to me.

GMT +1 (Holland). I Play the most when American People are offline because they are sleeping by then.

If you could change one thing about MJMC what would it be?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to see more staff when i am playing because of Temp Servers in the past where griefers joined and just go and flykill everyone who is online. Also i have to deal as AdvBuilder with Griefs but i am not even Vip so i can't jail anybody who is massively griefing towns and other buildings.

Who is your favorite current staff member (non admin) and why?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DrozKnight At the moment. He is a fair staff member and Makes always time to help people out.
Also Caldrin though he is a Overlord he is a very helpfull person in my eyes + he is good with solving fights between people.

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to be a member of the Vip team because i am online on different times then all the Vips and higher.
Thats when all the griefers come online and then regular users have to face elimination.

Which one of MJMCs rules do you think is most important?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Griefing. People work really hard on some of their structures and they might get griefed well thats not fun i had that several times. I found a skeleton spawner got griefed and no Free arrows or bones for me anymore. Thats not how i wanted to be minecraft, so thats why i think griefing is not ok at all.

Hello I'm DancingJoe and I would like to apply for th promotion of VIP.
Age: 13
Timezone: US East Coast

If you could change one thing about Minecraft Junkie what would it be?

Well, truly, this server is already as awesome as it can be, which makes this question especially difficult. If I had to ask for one more thing, it would be for everyone to have the ability to make a trade sign like the one there used to be for spawners at the spawn.

Who is your favorite current staff member and why?

My favorite staff member is probably Xeronaile because he is always on, and doesn't ever deny a call for help, even if he is the middle of building his own house or structure.

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?

I would like to join the crew of VIPs because there have been so many times when either me or my friends see something happen, and I just don't take a screenshot for everyone to see. I am on a lot of the time, and always active on the forums. I want to become a bigger and more helpful part of this community.

Which of Minecraft Junkie's rules is the most important?

I have to say the most important rule is to respect others. This rule includes respecting other people's property and what you say to people. This rule helps Minecraft Junkie have the type of kindness that leaves people that have been banned, begging for appeals. The admins, community managers and staff are never "too busy" to help someone out. Whenever someone in the community needs an area cleared or help with something, there will always be Veterans and members working for free. On other servers when I ask for help, I usually get cursed out by the admins or just plain laughed at. Without this rule, I probably would not be playing this server today.

In conclusion I think I would make a great, helpful, and kind addition to the community to look after and the members of Minecraft Junkie. I can see there are people who would also make great choices for VIP, and I'm fine with that. I hope you guys make the right choice for your next Very Important Person.

Age:
15

Time-zone and when i usually play:
_______________________________________________________________________________
5.00 - 10.00 GMT (united kingdom)

If you could change one thing about MJMC what would it be?
_______________________________________________________________________________
-if i could change anything about MJMC i would add an MCMMO (or whatever your changing it to) skill where as you use your sword to block (using the RightMouseButton) you go up in levels and within each level you will have a higher chance of blocking more damage. at level 50 you will be able to deal damage to the mob or person trying to hit you. by level 300 you will be able to almost be able to stop all damage that comes your way and so on. i know this is kind of covered by the acrobatics skill but i think with this new added skill you would make PvP and PvE more exciting and dramatic.

Who is your favourite current staff member and why?
_______________________________________________________________________________
-my favourite staff member would be Xeronaile as he is a funny, mature and helpful member of the staff team and he always knows what is should be done and he is always there when you ask for help.

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?
_______________________________________________________________________________

-i want to become a member of the VIP team to help prevent griefers and so on while other staff members and VIP's are off doing there own thing in the real world.

Which one of MJMCs rules do you think is most important?
_______________________________________________________________________________
-i think that the rule "Don’t Grief" because from personal past experience being griefed is just demoralising and you feel that all your hard work has gone to waste. i think that nobody should have to go through that. but of course all of the rules are there for a reason and none of them should be broken at any one time.

Timezone and when you usually play: Eastern Standard Time I play anywhere from noon to 5am seeing as I was laid off a month ago and am currently unemployed and not very busy.

If you could change one thing about MJMC what would it be?

I've only ever played on one other server and they had the Chop Tree plugin for certain higher ranks. Chop Tree is amazing. I know we have Mcmmo and it's enjoyable for the other abilities (Super Breaker) but the Tree Feller is no comparison to regular ole Chop Tree.

Who is your favourite current staff member (non admin) and why?

The ones regularly on are Droz, Dole, Countypo, and Cutfishgo. I can't say that I have a favorite.

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?

I figure I'm on a lot and I can be there to help out when no one else can. I'm also fairly good at dealing with controversy and dealing with kids. I've taught classes and managed restaurants. I'm fairly good at letting over-raged pvp cry babies understand that you can't win them all and that you sometimes need to just suck it up and try again rather than complain to Korthic that someone killed you and won't give you your diamond sword back.

Which one of MJMCs rules do you think is most important?

The most important is certainly Don't Grief. Griefing is the anti-reason that people play this game. It's also the reason most likely to have someone quit the server and not come back. Monitoring and recording griefers is a big deal I think. I love building things so much and having people Ooo and Aww at them and I can't imagine getting enjoyment from just destroying stuff but there are certainly people out there like that.

I would also like to say that Build Sensibly is a good rule but not more important than no griefing. I strive to build things that look nice (and I know not to use cobble anymore). The last server I was on had a lot of "junk" which ranged from random holes in the ground to dumb looking shacks that people moved on and abandoned. The last Admin wasn't necessarily concerned with things like symmetry or accuracy and the attitude trickled down to the other players creating a trashy looking server. Korthic can be a hardass sometimes but his attention to detail and devotion to perfection, I think, is a valuable characteristic that an Admin needs if the server is ever to look nice as a whole.

Sorry if I wrote a lot, and thanks for consideration,
Andrew

oh soz forgot personal info well
i play most of time even though im in australia
im 14 (on 27th of nov)
and i think i love helping nice people and i think THE most important rule is to respect one another (wich covers alot) but it's sooo important
and to help more is one of main reasons for vip and my fav staff (staff meaning staff rank or staff to admin ?) anyway my fav admin is FABETH soz otheres cos shes really nice and generous with here time to help people fav staff rank is xero because hes able to laugh with u and have fun but hes serious when needed. 1 thing i would change though is i would make a newbie help class that helps newbies and teaches em what they can and cant do and were they can do stuff if rules are 2 confusing for them or something. :) thx for youre time again

Timezone and when you usually play:
Eastern Pacific time. I play right when i get home from class everyday for about 3-4 hours. Since the current Skyrim release i've been absent for obvious reasons. Once i hear our servers been updated for 1.9 ill be back to my regular minecrafting.

If you could change one thing about MJMC what would it be?
Personaly? I think we should have stricter rules for things like pvp and other topics we complain about everyday. It gets old and other active members of the server get irritated. Takeing those annoyances from our server would really make it more enjoyable. Seeing brand new members never coming back because someone kills them right out of spawn is pretty sad. Limiting pvp from specific areas would increase the chances of those member staying.

Who is your favourite current staff member and why?
Countypo without a doubt. Hes strict and knows everything thats going on. Not a single player has questioned his judgement throught my entire time with this server. He doesn't punish a person without giving them a brief and helpful statement about why. He hears out everyone without ignoring them, then does so in great detail. I've never been helped by this staff member in any serious way but every time i witness his work its always something to motivate others to understand the way things go around here on Junkie

Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?
I'm always helping other but theres moments when i can't because I lack the power. These moments come along more and more and its something I think i could benefit the server with. My lifestyle makes my game time extremly extensive ill always be avalible to the public to the point there may not be times when our mass is helpless.

Which one of MJMCs rules do you think is most important
Respecting others. The server is full of hate alot of the time and fighting between friends, strangers, family is constant; It naggs others into the trouble and makes things worse. This rule has and continues to be used at its best extent to make our server more enjoyable.

I know the problem. So many people are applying to become VIP. What can you do to stand out?
1. If you haven't read Korthic's instructions, go read them thoroughly. If you have, go back and read them again.
2. The next step is filling out your application. For the time zone and when you play, be as specific as possible. For example, I wrote "US Eastern Time (GMT -5:00). Various time throughout the day, then from about 8:30-10:30PM most nights."
3. The instructions read "Why do you want to be a member of the VIP team?" (You didn't know that did you? Ha! I caught you! Go back and read Korthic's original post). Don't just give a generic "To help" response. Do you have a special skill to offer? Are you frequently on when other VIP+ aren't? Are you particularly good with redstone or falsebook? These are just examples. Basically, prove to use why we should chose you over someone else. This is NOT the time to start bashing other applicants say stuff like "You wouldn't be good because XY or Z!"
4. If I may call someone out, TorchDeleer has an excellen applicaion. I'm not saying to be like TorchDeleter, be he all the key elements: Application stands out (In a good way), something to offer over others, an organized post, etc. I'm not saying to copy TorchDeleter's post and edit it to be yours (Plagarism), or that his application is the perfect application, but just that it's a good one.
