    Brawl Junior Moderator Application: Note: I had poured my heart into my last application. I have made a few edits to my application to make it sound better or to give more detail. This information has a ~ at the beginning and the end.
    Have you read over this thread? – Yes, many times, and I hope to apply to all the standards.


    What is your in-game name? - Turmac

    Have you changed your name in the past? If you have, please list them. - Nope, and I never plan to.

    Does anyone else have access to your Minecraft account? - No, and I never will. ~I have given my BrawlHGPvP account to my brother, though~


    How old are you? - 16

    What time zone are you in? - MTN Time. (GMT -6)

    Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - Yes, I can speak Spanish semi-fluently with a bit of Swedish and French.


    What is your experience and knowledge of Minecraft? –

    I was first introduced to minecraft by my cousin who started making fun of the game. I got it to see how it was. It was nothing like he said it was. I enjoyed it so much, I started playing it pretty much every day.


    I've played Minecraft since 2012. I started playing on single player and began on my adventure of learning. I began watching videos on minecraft and I found a few on redstone. Redstone was amazing when I saw it. I began right away building contraptions and other sets as well. I tried to build maps with some success, but none really notable.

    Later on, I found out about multiplayer. I immediately looked up servers and found a server called LegendaryCraft. LegendaryCraft was a build server and I found many amazing people who taught me the ropes of minecraft. After that, I got bored of building and mining, so I moved on to the PvP server of LegendaryCraft. From there, I met amazing people, some of which play Brawl today! I learned to pvp, and I also applied for Moderator and got T-Mod. The server later closed and lost most of its members.

    At about 2013/14, I got into the Hunger games craze. I was searching left and right for an amazing server to play for hg. Alas, I came to an amazing server named McPvP! McPvP helped me learn the arts of Soup PvP. I loved this so much! I helped along with other great members who are very kind to build up the community. I advertised on every server I wouldn't want to play on (So I wouldn't be banned on the servers I wanted) so the server would grow very large! They achieved 2.5 mill players before it sadly closed.

    Around the McPvP age, I joined Twitch. I found that McPvP streamed on it! I mainly watched their streams to do the gamemodes, such as KOTH, Road of Death, Donut Dash, etc. After a while of gaining an Admins liking, I got moderator to help build on the gamemodes. I got to help and spectate KOTH'S, Death Runs, and pretty much every gamemode imaginable.

    After McPvP closed, I was in a time of sad denial. I thought the HG would be forgotten forever. I quit minecraft for about a month to test out other games, but none of them compared to minecraft. I came back to find that Brawl has taken over some of the McPvP servers. As I read on, I literally shouted with joy. HG was one of them! I joined Brawl and found the community great! The servers still a little buggy from the transfer, but still great! That's where I am now. I have also tried other servers made by Brawl such as Minecraft Party, WarZ, Creative, etc. I feel like I have played brawl before the McPvP change. I hope to play this server for 2-3 years until I head off into my life!

    What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? -

    I started off a Trial Mod on LegendaryCraft PvP

    * Built off of little servers with players ranging from 10-80

    *StainedMc Admin/Developer

    *LightPvP Temp-Mod

    *McPvP Temp-Stream Helper Mod

    *DoodleKits Developer/Kit Creator

    *Other servers I cannot remember name to.

    What will you provide to the community if you are provided moderator status? - Helping new players understand new abilities, such as kits, soup pvp, and the overall server. Helping find hackers, punishing rule breakers, and other items needed. ~I will also be kind and considerate and not use my abilities to harm or abuse other players.~


    Have you ever used a hacked client before? - ~Now that I think about it, I had used it on singleplayer to see how the hacks were used and how they operated. I never once used them on Multiplayer, though.~

    Have you ever been banned on a Minecraft server? If so, why? – Never and I will never do anything to be banned. (Never really got banned for advertisement, just kicked)


    What do you consider your greatest strength? - Being Kind, Helpful, and Considerate. Not flaming over dieing is a main one. I try to help everyone through their situations. I help others in game even if it means me losing and them winning. ~I can also keep calm over situations, such as being with friends, being around players who are just there to troll or get a joke out, etc.~

    What do you consider your greatest weakness? - I am very shy when it comes to my voice. My voice has sounded the same since I turned 13. I do not like talking too much. ~Also, I seem to studder over few sentences when I get nervous, but I will try my best to attempt to fix this.~


    How active do you consider yourself on Brawl? - Somewhat. I'm usually on for an average of 1 and a half hours

    Which Brawl servers are you most active on? - HG and CTF. I play War, WarZ and Minecraft party occasionally

    How many hours can you provide a day and during what time frame? - Sundays I cannot help due to family matters. Every other day I can provide a 1-3 hour time frame around 12:00 PM MTN Time.

    What would you do if someone breaks a rule in-game? - Depends on severity.

    If someone is:

    Flaming: I will tell them to calm down. If they refuse and keep flaming, I will mute for 1 minute. I will stay around until the mute is undone and see what happens from there.

    Advertising: I will clear the chat using /prune and message them to stop. If they continue, I would mute for a minute. I’d tell them to stop, or else I’d have to mute them for an hour. If they advertised again, I’d /prune and then mute for an hour.

    Hacking: I’d first check to see if they were really hacking. I will record while checking. If really hacking, I will kick for an hour. I would then post the video of them hacking to the forums.

    What would you do if someone breaks a rule on the forums? –

    If someone is:

    Spam: I would lock the post they’re spamming on. If multiple posts, I will tell them to stop. If they continue, I will get a Sr. Mod+ to help me in the situation so I would know what to do in the future.

    Being Rude: I would report the message and tell the person what they did wrong. If they continue to be rude, I would find a Sr. Mod+ to help me.

    Posting In wrong thread: I would move the thread to the needed position.

    Posting Answered questions: I would show them to the answered thread and then lock their thread.

    What would you do if someone breaks a rule on TS3? –

    If they are:

    Using soundboards: I would move to jail and tell them what they are doing wrong. I would then take them out and see if they continue. If they do, I would ban for up to an hour and watch out for them.

    Using random name: I would msg them to change their name to their in game name. If they don’t, I would kick them from the server for 1 sec. If they still don’t, I would kick for 1 minute.

    Gore, 18+, or Screamer Links/Avatars: I would move them to jail and kindly ask them to change it to something appropriate. I would tell them I would keep them there until they changed it.

    Screaming into microphone: move them to the background noise channel and message them to turn down microphone volume. If they don’t, I will set them to muted for an hour+

    Posting inappropriate links: I would set them to Chat Muted and move them to jail. I would tell them to stop or else they would be kicked for an hour. If they kept doing it, I would kick them for an hour.

    Being rude/annoying and other players continually ask them to stop: I will message them to stop. If they continue, I would move them to a private channel and talk to them. From there on, I would kick for an hour if they do not stop.


    Situation (as a staff member): You log on Brawl, and you’re told that there is a huge, game-breaking economy glitch. No Admins are online to solve the situation. What steps would you take to handle the issue? – If the situation was true,I would immediately contact a Sr. Mod+ and tell them the situation. I would also tell the person who told me this not to tell anyone else and not abuse it. I would monitor the glitch and make sure nobody is doing it. If people are doing it, I would warn them, kick them, etc. to make sure nobody is abusing the situation. I would stay for however long it takes for the Sr. Mod+ to get on and help me handle the situation. I would also ask for other Mods to help me on other servers as well. ~Since I'd be moderating Hardcore Games, there are multiple glitches. I would post it privately if it wasn't an extreme problem that doesn't need immediate fixing.~


    How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? – Two Legit Ones
    What is the date of the last application you submitted? – July 25, 2015


    Do you have a working microphone? – Yes, but has a lot of background noise and I am very shy with my voice. ~I am willing to get a new microphone if I am accepted.~

    Are you able to record and upload videos? – Yes, I might do gameplay videos, but for now, only hacker reports and other items I need to post. ~The channel is Turmac Brawl, I'm not going to post the link because I'm not here to advertise.~


    Do you generally know how all the staff member commands work? – Yes. I looked off of https://www.brawl.com/threads/40891/ to figure out most of the commands. I do know other commands besides these such as World Edit and the kNoHax plugin.

    Anything else we should know about you? – I play lacrosse and I love all sorts of ice cream. If I were stuck between living for 200 years and dieing 2 years with a lifetime supply of ice cream, I would die in 2 years. I love trapping and towering in the Hardcore Games, and like to find certain bugs with kits. If I find bugs, I post them on the forums. I love to play as the kit Viking and Endermage. I try to be helpful in every situation and I do not like to yell. ~I am also trying to learn how to record with Sony Vegas so I can get more players to play on Brawl.~

    Overall, your application is exemplary. You just raised the bar for what I would call a clear-cut application.
    Forums activity is outstanding!
    Unfortunately, you aren't that active on teamspeak. Pointed out from previous applications you've submitted- you don't appear to have improved in this area :frowning:
    I'd love to give you a +1, however because of reasons we recently discussed, I'm going to give you a +0.
    I hope you understand.

    Some quick questions:
    Are you still not able to provide evidence that you were Moderator on any of the stated servers you've provided?
    Although unnecessary, but could you provide evidence you began in 2012?



    Good luck!

    I understand. Thanks for the opinion!

    Although you may think I'm not active on ts, I'm actually on as long as I'm playing on brawl. Occasionally (once in a blue moon) I wouldn't get on brawl ts just for an fps boost, but that is very unlikely.

    I also understand the items you discussed with me earlier. Thanks for the input!

    Many of our Mods are specifically active in one area, like forums or in game. With is why I do not see what flavorous pointed out as too much of a problem. I would like to see you a bit more, however, +1 never the less.

    Amazing forum activity, and always great input +1.
    In-game, active and kind +1.
    Teamspeak activity +0.5, haven't seen you on much, but that could very well be my fault.
    You seem to have a passion for hg, which I appreciate. I could easily imagine you being an active, helpful mod.
    Good luck :stuck_out_tongue:.

    You were almost successful last time, hopefully you will be this time. Your attitude hasn't changed, so I still remain with a +1. Good luck.

    I see you ingame frequently, and you seem pretty mature! Maybe be a little more active on teamspeak, I haven't seen you there a lot. +1

    One thing that you need to understand which you got wrong on your app that I see. If you have a person advertising you should mute him instantly for 1 hour, prune the chat, get a screen-shot and report it to a mod on teamspeak or report it on forums. They will then get muted for a year.

    Apart from that definitely a +1 from me.

    This seems a great application and was well written. Soon as most of it is mentioned above, great job.
    Don't worry about your voice, we can practice sometime and if you are accepted, you are ready for the interview. (I can't give any answers or questions out.) :stuck_out_tongue:

    TS: Not active enough I am afraid. Like i said, I can help you out with it. ^^

    Overall; Good application and forums activity is fantastic and also your TS activity needs a little improvement.

    Your application was well written with quite a bit of detail, as far as I know you're pretty active in-game and I have seen many of your forum posts in various sections, most of which have been helpful. There is one area I suggest you work on which is your ts activity. I have seen you on a few times but not as much as is required or that I'd like although this maybe also be due to timezone, but get that up and you'll excel. Overall you're nice, mature, helpful and decently active therefore you have my +1.
