    Recently, I applied for sheriff and was denied, the reasons were because I am not active enough and I am immature. In this thread, I'm going to counter the argument that I'm immature. Before reading what I'm about to write, please know that I'm not writing this to bypass the 2 week no sheriff app, but I just wanted to argue that I'm not immature and there is a reason behind the inference that I'm immature. Now, I will begin.

    Prologue 6 months ago (14 years old): VEX Robotics World's Competition, Louisville, Kentucky. I traveled with my father to the competition that I worked so hard for. This year, we're going to keep our title as champions in the world.

    Day 3 of the Competition (Final Day): Our first two days went very well, and today is the day when we will compete in the face of millions of people around the world. The final competition will be aired on CBS. After breakfast, my team headed out to the Kentucky Expo Center, where the competition was held.

    7:50 AM (2 minutes before disaster): I was travelling in my teammates car, our coach driving at the front, I was in the middle backseat, my friend to the right of my, and my father to the left of me. We were driving a small car, the ones with only 5 seats.

    7:52 AM : I hear a loud roaring noise, I feel like I'm falling and go unconscious. 5 minutes later, I wake up, I see that my friend has left the car, and my father...his eyes were closed, his ear was bleeding, his phone was shattered, and he wasn't talking. A man came up to help me get out of the car, and another one, about 21 was saying sorry. I was carried up to a woman's van and sat their with my friend. Then, I saw what happened. A pickup truck was slammed into our rental car. It was horrifying. I saw my friend's dad come out, and then I fell back unconscious.

    9:28 AM: *Beep* *Boop* I hear machines whirring around me while I was lying in bed. I see my friend watching a movie, and I realize I'm in the hospital. I hear doctors discussing things around me, and my friend's dad say hi. The parents of my other teammates also came, and they gave me and my friend a small teddy bear. They said my father was fine. Also, my mother back home called me. She sounded worried, but not normal worried, I suspected something was very wrong.

    10:00 AM: I exit the hospital and head to the Expo center, I have a minor concussion but I could make it.

    4:00 PM: My team won the Excellence Award, but that meant nothing, as I haven't seen my dad in 9 hours.

    The next 5 days after the competition was over, I recovered at home, and was wondering why my dad hasn't come back. Another odd thing was the number of parents and friends that came to our house and the fact that my mom was crying. I searched online the place where we crashed, and checked the Louisville News. When I read what happened, I swore it was fake, but later, when I asked my mom what is happening she said:"Daddy passed away". I could not believe it. Even today, I would think my dad would come home, with his happy and infectious smile, something that I would never forget.

    The reason why I have been acting so "immature" is because I've now had a lot of rage in my heart, I need to pour it out on someone or something, and sometimes, it's people online. You would understand if you knew my dad. He was a kind person, a person with an infectious smile, always making people happy in some way. From humble beginnings in China, he has experienced poverty and pain, but never forgets happiness. He is my greatest role model, and I will treasure the 14 years I've spent with him (I'm already teary eyed). It's hard to lose someone like him, and I hope you guys understand why I am "immature".

    It's hard to accept such things, and my teachers have told me that I'm one of the most emotionally strongest kids they've had taught in the world. But even the best have their flaws. Today, my mother was invited to a picnic with my dad's colleagues. She told us, that 4 days before my dad's death, my brother asked, Why don't we have grandparents? She said, "because they passed away from a disease early on. But daddy and mommy will become grandparents some day!" And then, 4 days later, she relieved a call, saying that my father passed.

    Another source of my rage is the fact that the guy who crashed into our car wasn't prosecuted and got off clean. Like WTF. I've had dreams where I killed the guy and then threw his body into space. I hope that he
    recognizes that he's a piece of ****, and he should be sorry.

    Thank you for reading. If you don't believe me, please rethink your life. And as I said before, this is not a second chance on getting sheriff, but something that I must clear up, is that I'm not immature. I pray no one else in this community will suffer what I am going through.

    Ik this is not a good time to be toxic but you can just reapply. I've been denied 7 times so meh (also what does this story have to do with wild west, you could have said, "Bad things are happening"...)

    If you were truly mature you would find a way to vent instead of being toxic and immature on Brawl. I know, I've been in the same situation you are with needing to vent. And I made the same choice you have now.

    I am truly sorry for your loss and everything you are going through. I cannot imagine what you are thinking about and how you have gotten through what has happened in the recent few months or weeks. I know we haven’t really played in game or talked but I’m sure that if you use the motivation of being denied into making your self a better applicant you will be just fine the next time you apply :smile:

    Btw if you ever need to talk about anything don’t be afraid to message me and I would be more then happy to hop on ts or discord and help you out.

    Best of wishes

    Man, I almost started crying. I am truly sorry for your loss, but stay strong and get over it, at least in game and go on and be a great sheriff, because I know you will be.

    ^ This

    Also, it would be nice to if you mentioned these things on your sheriff application. Talking about this afterwards is useless.

    I'm sorry for your loss, but
    I don't see why you should be a sheriff if you're immature. Of course, we sympathize, some empathize, with you, but that does not mean that we should automatically accept your next sheriff application. If displaying maturity is a requirement, then you should display it before getting accepted, not push it to one side and say it is acceptable due to your loss. While I sympathize with you, I cannot accept it if you believe your immaturity should be overlooked completely.
    I understand you'll need time to cope with this loss, and that's perfectly fine. My advice is not to apply until you believe that you're mature enough.

    I admit, I'm not a wild west staff, and I might be treating this a little too seriously, but I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I do not write this out of spite, but out of care and concern; I hope you understand that. Once again, my condolences.

    I like your name. We all deal with loss in our own way man. Playing games is our way to deal with thwm. I understand your suffering, just expecting them to come home by day. It's not easy, a lot of people loss loved ones everyday, it's part of life, allow it to make you better. The person who did it will get his karma, they always do. About being sheriff, just reapply next time, and if you have those flashes of anger, log off for a few minutes and eat something. Calms your mind. Again sorry for your loss, the wild west community has your back

    You are clearly just using this as an excuse to attempt for funny ratings. I am absolutely disgusted with you.
    Leave.

    I really don't think he could care less about the sheriff app rn :V
    This was just a reasons to explain what happened, take it at face value.
    He understands why he was denied, and was trying to clear up any hard feelings, particularly those that may have been brought up over the past couple months with the community. I had already spoken to him and given a more extensive explanation as to why he was denied, as he has not even been flaming at all over the past month or so. There were multiple reasons that went into it, which will remain between me, the ww staff, and him.

    I talk about the sheriff aspect because I am not especially close to him and I think that is the only area I can contribute in.

    Also, "Recently, I applied for sheriff and was denied, the reasons were because I am not active enough and I am immature. In this thread, I'm going to counter the argument that I'm immature. Before reading what I'm about to write, please know that I'm not writing this to bypass the 2 week no sheriff app, but I just wanted to argue that I'm not immature and there is a reason behind the inference that I'm immature. Now, I will begin."

    The topic of the thread isn't influenced by the content of it.
    He uses the reasons of the denial of his application as a reason to clear up some things such as the one he described, his maturity, thus the title.
    I really don't think someone would just open that much to talk about his personal life in an application, especially about a bad event like this.
    ------
    I feel bad for your loss man, I honestly would like that didn't happen. Life sometimes decides to f*** you up. I know what you are going through, I am going through serious family issues right now.

    Apparently there was no problem in saying it here so I doubt it would be a problem in a subsection which only few people look at.
