How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day? I know I am capable of spending at least one hour a day. (I am normally on about 4-5 hours a day, but it depends on my school work and my Varsity Women's' Chorus class, but that is only about one day a month.) I know the weekends would be more evening oriented, as those days I spend with my family, but I still would be able to manage up to six hours those days.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server? The responsibilities of an operator on RoF is that they are capable of enforcing rules, using the abilities they are given for the right thing, helping other players, and being social with other players in the game. They have to be able to enforce the set of rules, but they should not be too harsh. They need to be fun and friendly, but they have to know when to draw the line and get serious. An operator should be able to calmly handle a dispute, whether it is between players or staff members. They cannot be bias in a situation, especially when it involves a close friend or acquaintance. They have to make sure they’re doing their job correctly, especially when it comes down to rule-enforcement/discipline of a rule breaker.
What sets you apart from other applicants? I am a very friendly player that can be very social within the game. I am always willing to learn something new. I have been around the server for quite a while, and I’ve tried to get to know the people there. I’ve been getting to know staff members, and in a sense, I’m learning from them. I want to be able to help out on the one server I love spending time on. RoF has a wonderful player base, and I want to be able to contribute to this server. I am capable of working under stress, and I know when to go to someone higher up, or someone with more experience when I come across an issue I have no idea how to resolve. I am a hard worker that is capable of performing the tasks I am given.
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member? I have a habit of over thinking about something, which in turn makes me start to worry if I'm doing something wrong. I honestly can be a bit self-conscious about how I’m helping, and I’m currently trying to improve on that. One other issue I have is that I struggle to type as fast as the others sometimes. I’m not nearly as fast as the rest of the staff, but with some of my computer classes, I’m improving.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with? At first I would think if I know something that would fix the issue, but if I didn't, I would ask another staff member that is on for some help with the issue. If they do not know how to fix the issue, then I will ask a person of the same or higher rank that could know how to resolve it.
What previous experience staffing on Blocktopia servers do you have? I will admit that I have never staffed on Blocktopia before. I do lack the experience in staffing, but I am very willing to learn the ways. I am determine enough to learn each and every command I would have to learn, and I would ask for help from another staff member if need be.
