Accepted Necromancer51572 Raid Staff Application

Brawl Junior Moderator Application​

Read over this thread: http://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? -

Necromancer51572

Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? -

Yes

How old are you? - 21
What time zone are you in? - EST
Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? -

No, I am only fluent in English.

What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? -

I have played McPvP since early 2012, starting on HG and slowly moving toward Raid (formerly Main, Elite, and Badger), starting on Elite. I quickly migrated to Main for the faster paced, hardcore experience. I know everything about the gamemode.
What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? -

I was a mod on SoupsMC for the initial releases.
Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? -

I see a lot of issues and wish to be a part of the change, to help shape the future of the server, to ensure the Raid server moves in the right direction for future growth without destroying the gamemode, and to ensure a level playing field for all players.

Have you ever used a hacked client before? -

Never have. I was once accused of xray on McTeams, and after explaining my tracking methods and having a thorough PC check by the head staff (lasted over an hour) I was found to be cleaner than a whistle.

Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? -

No worthwhile punishments, just the occasional 'oops' once in a blue moon.

What do you consider your greatest strength? -

I am very confident when talking to new people, and enjoy hearing others' points of view, regardless of the context. This will be beneficial for receiving accurate player feedback from players that aren't as 'loud' per say, and these can be the players who are most active and crucial to the server.

What do you consider your greatest weakness? -

In terms of moderating, I am a college student, meaning that my schedule changes so much it blows my mind. I will be able to commit a good bit of time to Brawl both in game and in discussions with staff regarding future plans, however the actual times I am free will be quite erratic.

Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? -

I am almost exclusive to Raid, because this has been the server that I most enjoyed growing up. Though it is now Brawl instead of McPvP, I still see potential to be some version of what McPvP Main used to be, given the right changes.

How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? -

I have never applied for staff in the past on Brawl, mostly because I have never played Brawl until just recently. This is due to me being a former McPvP player.

What is the date of the last application you submitted? - N/A
Do you have Discord?

Yes, and the majority of the Raid-focused staff members have contacted me on Discord at some point or another. My current Discord is Sean123#8879

Anything else you would like to state? -

I just want to say that my goal as a staff member is to ensure that Raid goes in the right direction in the future.

Additionally, I would like to say that one of my other main goals as a staff member will be to revive tracking in the raid community. This will include tracking tutorials, possibly 1 on 1 lessons, general guidelines, Build maps, and possibly some sort of events for practice.

EDIT: Added a section to the additional comments at the end.

Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

 

I am working on a series of forum posts to see what the community thinks of the changes I often discuss with people in DM's. Part 1 is up right now, if you would like to take a look.

In general, I want to increase the quality of advertisement content, even if it is just a trailer. I can do this by providing video of high-quality raids, as I would plan on continuing playing if I were to get staff.
I also want to change some of the gameplay dynamics of the server. This includes the shop dynamic, near-spawn restrictions, changes to events, and much more. I will be following up when I finish up the next part of the forum series.

I would like to disagree with this message entirely. I spend at least 90% of my in-game time in front of my monitor. This includes just sitting there watching chat, doing casual survival-like tasks, or base tasks, along with my limited PvP exposure, and of course tracking. I have messaged you directly to elaborate on this more.

Regarding the gold farm that Graff raided, the one that I made 'most' of my gold on, I actually built the same exact day that he raided it. I made the vast majority of my gold from selling items to players through the shop, but even more so by selling items directly to players by exchanging loot at spawn.

Basically, I want to clarify that the majority of my time in-game is spent actively looking at the screen. Even when doing most afk tasks like xp grinding, I will check back in every 10 minutes or so and check what has been going on. Naturally, I do afk in game, as do most people, but these afk sessions tend to be later at night, when very few people are online.

I hope this has helped clarify this misunderstanding, and I hope you will reconsider your decision.

 

Hey CocaptainBlue, thanks for the feedback, it is very much appreciated. One thing particularly stuck out to me.

I have a bit of knowledge about most of the gamemodes, but you make a good point. I will spend some time whenever I am free to look at the various other gamemodes.

Again, thanks for the feedback!

 

Hey Yupper,

Thanks for the feedback! Since this app was posted, I have spent some time on WarZ and learned a bit about that gamemode. I am partially familiar with Party, played my share of CTF, use build regularly, and naturally have played a lot of kitpvp servers. I will continue spending some time on gamemodes that I am less experienced on and try to improve my overall knowledge.

Thanks again for the feedback, it is very much appreciated!
