How much time will you be able to spend staffing the server each day?
As always, I will try and spend as much as I can during the day/night on the server, which seems to fall in the range of 3-4 hours. I am also trying to improve on being AFK during this time. It's been a huge problem for me lately to just alt-tab for 30 minutes or so during a round and just do something else.
What do you think the responsibilities of an operator are on this server?
I think an Operator's duty is to moderate chat, contain spammers, and remove griefers while at the same time providing a fun environment. I also believe an Operator's duty is to be active in the RoF forums such as map submissions, staff applications, etc. Doesn't mean you need to post on every single thread in creation but I think it's their job to do so.
What sets you apart from other applicants?
I've been a full Operator before and I know a majority of what most other applicants would not about the ins and outs of the server. I feel I've also been able to get to know the staff team fairly well, not saying that other applicants wouldn't, but I'd like to say I know everyone on the staff team fairly well and could call most if not all of them a friend.
What do you believe your greatest weaknesses are as a player and/or staff member?
My weakness as always has been my maturity, which if anyone knows me which I'd hope you would as an Operator is pretty blatantly obvious. I know it's kind of odd to see someone constantly have the same weakness in every application and seemingly do nothing to improve upon it but I gurantee you I try to improve on this and it is a constant struggle for me. It shows when I'm playing or talking in teamspeak at times but I feel even with my weakness, I'm still able to perform my duties as an Operator. I will always try to improve upon this and I'm always open to advice on how to do so.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with?
If there was another Operator online, I would immediately ask them for their advice on what to do and what I should do to proceed. If I was the only one online then I would try and fix the problem myself but even then I still couldn't fix it. I would immediately try to grab another Operator+ through IRC/TS. If the problem involved server issues. I would immediately attempt to get dirt or a Controller on to fix it.
What previous experience staffing on Blocktopia servers do you have?
Previous Operator on RoF
(I know a lot of people probably have this question so I decided to add it on in order to answer some questions people probably have.)
Weren't you just Operator a month ago? Why didn't you just go on away instead of resigning and re-applying in a month?
Well. I was Operator a month ago and I did resign. I resigned because I had been planning on doing a lot of things over the summer, such as getting a job, summer camps, volunteering at places. Which all but one has fallen through currently. I also have other personal things that I had to resign over which involved the server but I've already discussed them with some of the staff and I feel those issues have been cleared and settled and would no longer be an issue if I was to become an Operator again.
