SalientGorilla's Operator Application
IGN:
SalientGorilla

GMT
How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day?
Roughly 2-4 hours a day. Matters what I am up to or school work I have. But, normally 2-4 hours a day.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server?
There are many responsibilities of a staff member. They are all as important as one another but, there are some main ones that a staff member HAS to do. These ones would be: de-flooding; helping players out; making the server as fun as it can be and most of all, being a rolemodel! A staff member is someone that a player looks to be like in the near/far future. But the main one is obviously, enforcing the rules. If a player decides he's going to break the rules, (This all depends on how bad the violation is) I'll tell him calmly and give him a chance to learn from his mistakes. If they follow to break the rules, it will result in a kick/ban.
What sets you apart from other applicants?
I have a vast knowledge of how to staff on servers. I would consider myself a mature, helpful and active player. I also have fun with the players while keeping a mature vibe in the air. I help out as much as I can when players are: breaking the rules; genuinely need help and/or want someone to talk to! As I sad at the beginning, I have a vast knowledge of staffing from, the fast-paced AoD and A&T to the creative BuildBox. I know how to deal with problems but keeping a calm vibe in the air! Since I have staffing knowledge on BuildBox; it will help me with knowing on how to check grief with Prism.
Not that this is a requirement but, I feel I have relativity good grammar. This comes across more stern and more mature. I believe it helps out staffing over-all.
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member?
I get agitated quickly if I don't know how to explain something that is important or they don't understand something basic. I normally don't show this through chat, so it isn't that much of a problem. Another slight problem is my spelling. I'm not a great speller, but I give it ago!
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with?
I give it a go! No harm in trying. After all, we all learn best from out mistakes. But, if I required assistance, I'd try and get some. After that, I'd go to another staff member and tell them what I had done and see what I should/could have done to improve for next time!
