How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day?
During the summer I can spend 5-8 hours on weekdays. It's usually the same on weekends but are a little less predictable. When school starts I can still manage 3-5 a day or more.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server?
On Operator’s job is to keep the server an enjoyable and fair place for everyone. This involves many things. S/he has to make sure the rules are being followed and know how to deal with rule breakers. This involves kicking/banning if necessary and making sure the rule breakers understand why what they have done is not allowed. A staff member should also be a fun person to be around, no one likes a stuck-up or intimidating Op. S/he also has the responsibility to keep up with the forums and respond to ban appeals/staff applications when necessary.
What sets you apart from other applicants?
This may not set me apart from the others, but growing up I have been taught to reason very well. I see past the surface and this has given me good knowledge of Common Sense. Being with this Community on-and-off for two and a half years now, I feel like my ability to reason would be a good asset. I do have some past experience with staffing minecraft servers (including this one) , so I do know how to deal with your average griefer/rule breaker. In-Game I am very active in the chat and online in general. I do not get angry very easily and when I do I usually don’t show it in chat (Ironic, considering what my name is, eh?). Most importantly, I enjoy trying to welcome the lower-ranked players and making it a more fun experience for them. It's never bothered me to let anyone in my house, and I like to exchange conversation with new players. I treat all on the server with the utmost respect, no matter the rank.
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member?
Like I mentioned in my past App, my typing ability isn’t too spot on. I’m slower then average and I have the occasional typo. My biggest character flaw is my tendency to get defensive. I try to think about what someone is telling me when being criticized, but I often look at it the wrong way. It's somewhat natural for anyone, but that's no excuse when being given constructive criticism. I have thought about this flaw a lot, and should I get staff again I will do my best not to let it ever become an issue.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with?
This would depend on the situation. If it was an issue with a player or command I would contact another Op or Staff member for help or advice on the matter. If it was a staff member abusing his/her powers I would try to get ahold of a higher-ranked staff. (Probably through TeamSpeak)
What previous experience staffing on Blocktopia servers do you have?
I staffed as an RoF operator on trial for 2 weeks. (About a year ago) (Should you have questions about my prior experience here, feel free to ask.)
