Accepted Prouddyyy's staff application

Brawl Junior Moderator Application


Read over this thread: https://www.brawl.com/threads/14752/

If you do not meet the requirements (active, helpful, must have Discord, etc) do not apply yet; it will be an auto deny.


What is your in-game name? - Prouddyyy, I have changed my name recently but do not plan to change it any time soon.

Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes, it is. I have no family member that has any intention to mess with my account, nor do they have any knowledge about Minecraft either.


How old are you? - I am currently 16 years old.

What time zone are you in? - UTC+2

Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - The languages I have little to a lot knowledge of are, German, English, Dutch, and French.


I'll go from least experience down to the most experience.

French:

I have always had zero interest in this subject in school and dropped it as soon as I could. So I pretty much had 2 years of French I learned some things in that time but to me I feel like I'm still as far as a person that has never spoken a word French before. If a person starts talking French to me, I'm completely lost. Written sentences I might be able to slowly translate word by word, but making a conversation in French is something I probably will never be able to do.


German:

German is a subject I have been interested in since day one. I have always wanted a job that didn't just put me in a office 24/7, I always have wanted and want to do something around software engineering in Europe, so learning German would be very useful for this. Because of that I have always studied very well for German and I still have 1 year of German to go on school after already finishing 3 years of German.

I'm able to make a conversation with someone in German but not without some grammar mistakes. If you study German you probably know what I mean. (Der, Die, Das) So this year I hope to fix those few grammar mistakes. And I know a few cursing words in German too which could help in judging a chat report in German.


English:

English is the first foreign language I've ever learned, it was on a very young age and pretty much started when I wanted to understand English Minecraft videos. With some little help from school and my parents (I was around 9/10 years old that time) I started to learn some English words. I slowly started to understand English more and more. Until I could understand the videos. I've never felt English was a hard subject on school and I always do well. I tend to make some grammar mistakes at times but I try to perfect my English the best I can.


Dutch:

I was born in the Netherlands and have always lived in the Netherlands, so it makes sense I can speak fluent Dutch. Although Dutch is definitely not my strongest subject on school it mostly is because I'm not to good at finding the theme in a text, the idea behind a text, etc. And that's what the Dutch tests are about most of the times.


What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - I'll start with my knowledge since that is shorter than my experience with Brawl.

My knowledge of Brawl is pretty good in my opinion. I think I have good knowledge of the rules and how things work and go on the server. I can easily guide people around the server and guide them around the forums. I have knowledge of a decent amount of the gamemodes, Mc-War being the main one. but Kitbrawl, Minecraftparty, MC-WarZ and Minecraftbuild, are games I know a decent amount of too.


My experience:

The first ever time I joined was on 2013-10-05, 5 years ago. And I remember the first game I played was MC-WAR. at that time Minecraft was exploding at school and was very popular. People would literally run to the school computers to play Minecraft. And later on it was even used as a reward to play Minecraft when you had finished your tasks. It was around 2012/2013 at that time and we would all start playing Minecraft and start playing Skyblock on a server I forgot the IP off. We we're really competitive and would all try our best to have the best island of all our friends. As it was kinda slowing down because of the server reset and nobody really feeling like starting all the way from the bottom again. We would play it less than before and it wasn't as competitive anymore, it was cool if you were the best but if you weren't you wouldn't care as much.


At that time I started looking for different servers and found brawl. it had the gamemode MC-War on there which was all about cod in Minecraft. My parents were against me playing any shooter games like the real Cod or Battlefield. So this was perfect for me. I was experienced with Minecraft and had my decent knowledge about cod too after playing cod at other friends' places and watching videos. So I started getting more into MC-War and completely left the skyblock server behind me. I would not tell my friends about MC-War yet because I wanted to be the best so I first made sure I was rather decent at the game before telling anyone. As I got better I started playing it on school and people started asking what I was playing. After telling them a few would try but never really liked it. But I loved it. and thus I have always played war till now. In the meantime getting to know Kitbrawl a bit better and exploring some other gamemodes.


What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - Although I can not proof it very well, despite it not being too serious anyways, I used to be a Helper on oldfashionsurvival.enjin.com. That server has recently been reopened. I'm not sure how to proof I'm Helper on there with my alt account but if you do, feel free to PM me how to proof it to you. I have taken some screenshots being logged in the account on the forums but since I have lost that account last summer I have no in-game access to it. Anyways I joined that server in the beginning of the summer 2017. With pretty much the main intention to find a new server to become a mod on and hopefully see it grow. (I was looking for this server because at this time I was banned from brawl.)


It closed in the end of Summer 2017 due to the lack of donations and it costs money to keep the servers running. So I've never spoken to any of the people on there ever since but I am surely planning on checking the server out again anytime soon But I am definitely not planning on being active staff on there anymore.


Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - Simply because I want to get MC-WAR 2.0 to be more alive. It's pretty much dead and I really want and hope I can make changes happen. Although I believe a lot more has been done about this lately I would love and really want to help with anything that is needed to make updates come faster. Not only that, I'm also online around timezones a lot of staff most of the time aren't online. I hope with my activity it can make the amount of hackers really go down, as I'm very dedicated to keep war clean, so if I suspect someone from possibly using any type of x-ray I take my time to watch him for a few games and see if he is actually hacking or if he might be legit.


Have you ever used a hacked client before? - I have, due to the history cleanup I can't tell the exact same date anymore but I'm pretty positive it was in the very beginning of summer 2017, this was the last time I used a hacked client. before that I used to hack on Hypixel but I barely play Hypixel anymore and if I do it's purely just to mess about in Build Battle for example. The only server I play right now is Brawl and that is mainly due to MC-War, since Brawl is pretty much the only server with this unique gamemode.

Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - Yes like stated above it was in the beginning of summer 2017. I can't exactly recall what pushed me to do it, but it had highly likely something to do with the war 2.0 coming out way to late and me being very certain I was going to leave anyways. I remember giving zero s***s anymore and for some reason I just hacked on the server using things like kb modifiers speed and step. If I recall correctly I harmed nobody's KDR and never intented to do so. I was just purely messing about with step speed and kb modifiers on some alts and I pretty much accepted I was gonna get banned.


I want to be clear that even if I would become upset due to in my opinion unfair decisions, I would never do this again.


What do you consider your greatest strength? - I accept criticism very well, in fact I find getting criticism very useful to get the best out of me and make me the best staff member I can possibly be.


I accept having to follow rules very well too. I'm not afraid to make my own suggestions either and always listen to some else's suggestions, I feel that way we together could get the best out of each other. So I'm always a person that prefers teamwork over doing something alone. Because other people can correct you on things you do you don't even realise you're doing wrong and the other way round I could help people doing things I think is the right way, making the end result the best.


My dedication for war is really high too. I want to change war with updates organize events and make it alive again. Although it has a around 20 players everyday, I really want to try my best to go back to 2 servers full with 30 players. Just like around 4 years ago. You can expect me to be very serious with my role as a staff member for war and for brawl.


I'm a very patient person, I've learned this myself since I used to be very hyperactive and impatient in the past when I was around 8-12. I would always want to do something and could not wait to do it, if a person would try to get on my nerves he would succeed very quickly, but now, if a person tries getting on my nerves he can't. I don't recall the last time getting mad at a person that was purposefully trying to get me mad. I have learned to control myself since I used to be a bit too aggressive when I was younger, making me more patient than a person without having past anger issues. How I ever learned that myself I still don't understand but I'm very happy to see I've changed so much since then.

I know when jokes are appropriate and when not very well. I’m a very sarcastic guy myself. I love to joke around and having fun is to me one of the most important things in life. But I fully understand I have to be serious at certain situations and I personally feel I can do both very well.


What do you consider your greatest weakness? - Like I mentioned in my last application my greatest weakness is I still can get mad like every person can but like mentioned above I've learned to control that problem and simply just log off when I feel any sort of anger coming up. Why this is my weakness is because when I log off there is one less staff member meaning I can't, in the future if I become mod, ban possible hackers that come on or mute people that are not obeying the chat rules. Most of the time this anger doesn't last longer than half an hour though, so I would be back online rather quick most of the times.

Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - MC-War by far. I sometimes log on Kitbrawl, but MC-War is the game I've played the most this year and in the past years. as of yet I have 180 hours of playtime on MC-War since January, I'm pretty much online every day for at least 30 minutes and around 1 hour to 2 hours in the weekend. I still enjoy MC-WAR as much as when I was playing it for the first time and do not intend to quit again for a long time although I did ‘quit’ around January, This was when I wasn’t doing to well at school my grades were dropping and Minecraft got most of the attention. At that time I decided to fully quit Minecraft but later on I decided with my parents I’m allowed to play but only if I have actually finished my schoolwork. Which has been going very well. And I finished this year of school.


How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - 5, this is my 5th application

What is the date of the last application you submitted? - 19 May 2018 it got denied on the July 19 2018 exactly 1 month ago.

Do you have Discord? - Yes, I do my tag is Prouddyyy#0679


Anything else you would like to state? - My last application was denied due to having some problems with 2 of my alts.


So I'll just give an explanation how this would in the future would mean no problem in my hopefully future staff role.

I have 2 alts with some problems in their history to check the history of both these accounts click these links:

Brawl.com/history/player/cdevautour

Brawl.com/history/player/Prouddyyyy

I'll start with the account cdevautour. I've lost this account around January/February it was an alt from an alt shop I bought around a good year ago. About the punishment on there, it was a death wish, which is one of the most severe chat punishments there is. I've asked Roke to show me the exact messages I sent since it was a good 4 months ago at that point and currently almost half a year ago. And I honestly can't remember me saying anything like that and can't imagine me saying such things either but I think most importantly I will never say anything like that since I'm completely against wishing people dead and such. I'm not the type at all to say things like kys at all in my opinion aswell. But like I said that was 4 months ago at that point and I honestly can't remember it so it could've been that I lost the account around that time and someone else was on my account but in my opinion that isn't a very likely thing.


The second account, Prouddyyy,

That is my second main account and fully secured and migrated too. I take full responsibility for the punishments on that account, although I yet again can't remember them. the punishments (as you can see on the brawl punishment history site) are for spam only. And I'm almost positive that this was me just messing around with friends and spamming something jokingly around 3 times.


So quick conclusion, cdevautour is NOT my alt anymore if you see it logged on brawl it's not me I've lost every bit of control over it.

Prouddyyyy/OnlySnipers (4 y’s my main account has 3 y’s) is my second main account everything said and done on that account is done and said by me unless it gets hacked like every account can.

For staff Please PM me for a full alt list ((I have 2 other alts (fully mine) that I only use for catching cheaters. So if you would like to know the names of these accounts let me know.))


If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to PM me I will answer them. (Unless I believe it’s to much of private information for your position)


If your application is accepted, you will move on to an interview on Discord.


Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

 

Thanks a lot Ben

 

I have contributed by offering staff (Snail and Ben) I would love to help when needed, help organising, help getting maps done (I made a map of my own and plan to make more in the future) and I report glitches and players I watch players for 5 games straight to see if they’re possibly cheating or not pretty often and in general give out a lot of ideas. I want to change the gamemode with frequent updates. Only by adding 3 maps a month you could keep players playing more. I personally believe I can do this because I’m a very active player that uses various things to see what needs to be fixed and what needs to be nerfed.

EDIT: I've now helped with reworking 3 more maps, Seatown rework, Terminal, Dome, and more is coming soon. (and made Noshahr)

 

Thanks a lot Fista ;D
