How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day?Currently during the summer I am able to offer anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour in the morning. After work I am able to offer upwards of one to six hours. When I am in my single player I can easily be on multiplayer on my laptop so I can have access to both; or I could keep an eye on IRC. However once school starts up again I will not know how much time I will have to offer per day, but I will have a good amount of time to be around. Besides Saturdays. I do not exist Saturdays, ever, because of track.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server?Operators need to have fun. That is the first thing that needs to happen. If the operator or staff are not enjoying their time on the server then they may make take their frustration out on the players this leads to the next thing they need to do. Make sure the entire player base of the server is having a good time. To do this the staff needs to ensure everyone, from players to grandmasters and even some staff from time to time, are playing fairly and within the rules. Operators also need to keep an eye and ear out whenever possible to see for any misconduct or “hear” it in the chat. The operators need to be generous in their actions. They do not want to scare off any rule breaker with a ban. Everyone deserves a few strikes before they are kicked out of the server. While being generous they also need to crack down on people under the radar, even if it’s someone you know. No one is above the rules. Lastly dealing with the banned offenders with ban appeals and responding to them in a proper and a swift manner.
What sets you apart from other applicants?My creative mind. FREE AWESOME HOUSES FOR ALL!
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member? Occasionally I might take things personal. Given that the setting is in minecraft where most things can’t really become that personal I doubt it would be a problem. But it has happened. I’m also slightly OCD… I have the urge to eradicate all poorly made homes… I’ve been called the Gordon Ramsey of building in minecraft. (by Biblius). I will not accept any RAW HOUSES SERVED TO ME! But getting back to a more serious note, I do occasionally as in a lot just walk away from my computer or bring tabs up and start working on something else, especially in RoF. Lastly sometimes I can be too nice when giving warnings.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with? If I there was another operator+ on at the same time I would ask for suggestions on what to do. However if there was no staff on the game or IRC I would take the most appropriate action depending on the situation. If I feel as they were breaking a rule in some way I would give a temp ban then discuss it with other operators to see if further action or a removal of the ban is needed.
