    Well hello there, if you're viewing this it's because your interested in the garbage I have to say about random topics.

    How it works:

    I will choose 1 random topic to rant about in a paragraph or 2.

    What you can do:
    Suggest random things for me to rant about.

    Have fun and enjoy opinions a-la Xavier.

    also no offense brawl staff team.

    Hacked clients, usage and whatnot.

    About 6 or 12 months ago when I was obsessed with Minecraft I got involved with hacked clients. Wurst was great, I screwed around with it on a lot of servers, mainly smaller lesser known egg wars servers with terrible staff who can't tell a speed hacker from an enderman.
    (Side note I never used clients on Brawl)
    I got more interested in Jigsaw, which became my favorite client, it was quite fun. I could speed hack on bigger servers until I got banned (rip mineplex)
    More to the point of this rant is that hacked clients are used often, and I love reading staff applications and seeing suck ups who claim they've never downloaded a client. Though I can't blame them, if they admit to it, they get denied. I used to be like that, a suck up. Hell I still am just bribe me with a jolly rancher and you've earned about 30 seconds of my attention.
    Now maybe applicants are telling the truth and really don't use hacked clients, or ever used them. Doesn't that make them less qualified? I mean they now know sh*t about them, and they can only identify hackers if they're blatantly cheating. Now I know that at some points or another with permission you're probably aloud to test clients to get more knowledge. of them. One thing contradicts that though, a couple years ago Striker got demoted for using a client on a non Brawl server, so maybe staff can't test them period.

    Hallopiu (Topic suggested by @Pizze )

    Well, before I can rant on about this guy we must go back 2 years ago. I was a continuous Brawl applicant (which means try hard mod) and I had many nicknames, my personal favorite was autism (but that wasn't Brawl that was more my family.) Anyways let's get more on track, I was disliked, like every try hard mod. Thankfully Cuddled didn't play into the public opinions and still graded me based on what she knew about me, which meant denied.

    One person made my application process very miserable, that person was Hallopiu, he would continuously talk down to me like I was some kind of loser (no joke intended.) I was 12, I wanted staff, cut me some slack! He would shoot me down, and put boo boos on my feelings.
    This has become more of a history lesson than a rant, so maybe I should start ranting.
    What right did you have cyber bullying a 12 year old when you yourself were probably at least 2 or 3 years older than me. I tried, and failed, but let me fail by myself, don't be the sh*t poster that makes me want to quit.

    Thankfully you got banned and I got a somewhat apology 2 and a half fu*king years later.


    My goal for being a Mod (suggestion from @MR_EVIL_OVERLORD )

    Alright let me start off by saying I have no intentions of being a Brawl staff member, or a staff member on any server for that matter, so I'm just going to rant about what I think other people's goals should be.
    For being a Brawl staff member I believe it's nearly mandatory that you have a very clean Brawl history record, if you're known for being a sh*t poster than kiss your chances good bye. I had a lot of warning points which I believe was the main reason i was denied.
    As well as a good record people should also have connections with the staff team and attempt to befriend the senior mods (my favorite Senior mod was Oracle rip af )
    This is not a guide I should add. Now one thing I don't like about the staff team qualifications, is that there are a lot of implied rules, like if you have history of hacking on Brawl and assuming that was a year ago, it will be a pain in the a*s to get accepted, as well as if you were demoted and you apply again after you know you've improved the admins still make things hell-a difficult for you (rip Soulless you're always in our hearts, apply again soon.)


    What I would do to improve the server (suggestion from @MR_EVIL_OVERLORD )

    Well, I'd start off with giveaways, giveaway lifetime VIP ranks. One thing I dislike about Brawl is that they make such a big deal about a lifetime rank, even though it takes 5 seconds for an admin to give it to you and it costs them nothing. Yes I understand it technically money 'lost' but giveaways attract a lot of people, and when new players get attracted to the giveaway, they will get drawn to the gamemodes (MC-War specifically). So maybe monthly ranks are better for giveaways as it is less 'money' in the garbage.
    Also there should be a way for people to pay through Bitcoin.
    Don't hate on the giveaway rant I have no clew as to what the hell I'm talking about.
    Also I'd add anonymous staff chat rooms, where members can speak with staff (including admins and devs) and they can ask questions, it makes the communication aspect of Brawl more entertaining and it also saves people the humility of publicly asking stupid questions.


    Hope you enjoyed my rants, and remember to suggest more.

    Look I swear to god if I get any hate I will personally take half an hour to think of a comeback for each comment.

    Just because players used a hacked client in the past doesn't mean they are going to be denied.

    I'll completely agree with the hacked clients thing. Staff definitely judge an applicant more harshly if they've used hacked clients before, so I feel like most just learn to say they only used them for testing. As for someone like me, who's legitimately never used one before, I definitely think it's more difficult to identify hacks. I had no idea what hacks even were until I got staff. xD I only learned about ghost clients until 2 months before I became mod and I still don't know how to check for ghost clients. I don't know if I'm the only one that feels like this, but I definitely think people who've used them before have an advantage for checking for them.

    I mean, I've never downloaded a client before (I'm on a mac, installing literally anything for Minecraft is a stab in the dark, and that's assuming it's compatible in the first place) yet I can see most ghost client hacks without needing to SS...

    GG @Pizze your suggestion was added.

    @SoullessAngel_ Perhaps can they be more technology related (excluding consoles because I'm a PC gamer)

    @Tjocko You suck as well.

    30 minutes well spent.

    At least someone understands my opinions : P
