How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day? 4-5hrs each day after work, easily, most of the time. Doubled on weekends.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server? Make sure the server is fun for everyone, and keep things running as smoothly as possible. Apart from helping out on the server, moderators are expected to play the game as per any other player, while setting an exceptional role model for other players, and promoting the spirit of the server. Again, making sure everyone's enjoying themselves (not at the expense of others).
What sets you apart from other applicants? Considerable prior experience, and an unorthodox approach to working out problems and/or adding to the server, while remaining completely effective and keeping things perfectly enjoyable. I'm extremely adaptable and very friendly with just about anyone within reason. I also know a ridiculous amount about the server off the top of my head and can clear up confusion extremely quickly and concisely for anyone, and can diagnose most... oddities? off the top of my head if they're confusing to anyone and explain how to deal with them.
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member? I do have a bit of a temper sometimes, though its nowhere near as much of a problem as it used to be. I can get somewhat overzealous in adding to the server, though at the applied rank (Moderator), it won't be a factor, since that's way outside my permissions. I can also be a bit arrogant at times but not to an alienating extent, it just sort of piles up a bit, mostly in the context of on-the-spot problem solving.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with? Depends on severity. If non-severe, I'd liken it to a similar scenario (plenty of them over the years) and see if there're any relevant parts to apply to this problem. If severe but within my power, I'd consult a controller+ about how to go about it, if they're available. If outside my power, ping controller+ to help with the solution and hope for the best. I know that things change, policies might not be the same as before, but are easily adapted to.
What previous experience staffing on Blocktopia/EscapeRestart servers do you have?
