Hi Shande,
Sorry I'm a bit late to the game. I haven't commented on this because technically I was away, dealing with home issues for the past 2 weeks. I've been around you long enough to know how well you do in staffing situations and how you conduct yourself in-game. You have always been a fantastic staff member in the past and the way you conduct yourself in game has been good for the most part. I had no problems giving you a reference. Though, I will say that the issue of on-time was holding back my reference originally when you asked me a couple weeks ago.
To comment on your application and the way you have presented yourself up to this point. I still think you are a great ROF player and you will continue to be a great staff member, if given the chance. Brevity has it's place. However, there are times where brevity comes with a lack of thoroughness. An operator application serves to show the staff members, not only that you know the basic responsibilities of a staff member, but that you know how to go about accomplishing those tasks. It gives us a look into your thought process and we usually don't have to go back and ask you many clarifying questions. One of the things I know about you is that you are very blunt. Though I have seen more of this from you lately, than in the past. The problem with you being blunt is that it can easily come across as overly aggressive (as a few have stated) and slightly arrogant. I think more tact is needed when you phrase your responses. Now all that to say that I still believe, while you seem to be a bit rough on your application as a whole, you are a great player and would still be an asset to the ROF staff team. I am all for seeing you as an OP on a trial basis. A moderate +1 for me.
Sincerely,
