x Trial TigerPhoenix3's 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? - TigerPhoenix3, though I might be changing it to something better
Is your Minecraft account secured and migrated? - Yes it is

How old are you? - 20, I will be 21 soon

What time zone are you in? - EST

Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? - I wish

What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? - I have been playing brawl for a few months now, and was extremely active last map. I was extremely active for the first week of this map, though for the last 10 days or so I have been less active in game. This is because it was my last few days home for break, so I spent time with my family, and then had to move back into college. Classes have begun, so I now have a ton of time to spend playing Minecraft when I am not doing homework. I used to play similar gamemodes to raid so I already knew what I was doing, and I am well acquainted with the Brawl variant now, especially with the features that have changed from years ago. I have talked with many new players like Soltarity, and even more OG players like CalledRainer, Jengar, and S_For_Sikeo. I have used this to develop my knowledge of the server, since it is no doubt a very special server with many unique features.

What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - I have never moderated, but I would be able to handle it I think. I think this because I know how the game works, I used to be really good at PvP in 1.7, so I can tell when movements are unnatural, and know how to find out if there are frame perfect motions or if someone digs in an unnatural way to get 'lucky' a lot

Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - I want to be able to voice my opinions about the gamemode, but more importantly I want to be able to spectate players and try to find the hackers. I am in college again, so I have a lot of free time and I should be able to go to all the events and hopefully help find the real hackers, and keep the ones not hacking from being banned by the anticheat. I also know how raiding works, because I used to have 2 trackers in my team and I have some trackers in my team this map, and what I learned from these experiences will make it easy for me to figure out if something has a chance of having been xrayed.

Have you ever used a hacked client before? - Everyone has used a hacked client at some point, but I have never used hacks on a server like Brawl and have no plans to, just chaos servers. The fact that I have used hacked clients has familiarized me with many common hacks, but also with how it can be possible to hide hacks, and I think that will help me with being more interested in finding some of the 'tells' for less obvious hacks, and catch people who pretend to be legit but are really just cheaters.

Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - I still have no punishments on brawl, I try not to be toxic because I see others being toxic and I do not ever want to look as immature as them. I think it is easier to talk to someone who you don't think will call you names all the time. I have been a part of a ton of extremely toxic conversations in-game and in discord alike, and I always try to keep people positive and reduce negativity and toxicity.

What do you consider your greatest strength? - I like talking to people, and I have a lot of free time since I am in college. This means I am able to play a lot and help and talk to the community. I also am logical so when I am moderating I would be able to be thorough before banning someone. All of my playtime this map was during the first week, because I wanted to help my team get set up, but then it was my last days home with my family before college, so I wanted to spend some time with my parents and siblings. Because of that, my playtime stayed lower, but as I proved last map by being one of the top playtime, even without afking all night for weeks like some others, I am more than dedicated to playing when I am at college. This is because I have a lot of free time, and because my schedule is so flexible, I can always make it to events, and I would have more interest in moderating than playing, because that means I can make the experience better for others and that is all that matters to me.

What do you consider your greatest weakness? - Although I have been playing Brawl for months now, I have not played in a long time before that, so people do not know me, but I have been very active for quite a while now. I have learned all about the new things that I was unsure of last time and have been trying to contribute to discussions whenever I can. I can provide a fresh perspective, but I can not recall things that might already be known to an OG like CalledRainer.

Which Brawl server(s) are you most active on? - I only play Raid right now, but I would play others to moderate as needed. I want to make the experience on Brawl better for everyone else, so I would gladly learn other servers, because that means putting a smile on more players faces.

How many Brawl staff applications have you made in the past? - 1 official application.

What is the date of the last application you submitted? - 1 month ago

Do you have Discord? - Yes, I am in the raid discord and am one of the most active people in it currently

Anything else you would like to state? - Thank you all for reading my application. I trust that you read the application in full, I hope you could leave me as much feedback as possible because I would be more than happy to hear what I might need to improve on

Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

 

Hey Tuumai, thank you for the feedback. I mentioned that I want to try to voice a new perspective and to work with players that I talk to in order to bring their ideas into the staff team's planning. Other than that, all a jmod is is a chat mod. I was only inactive for 1 week or so because I wanted to be able to see my family, since I can't go home for spring break this semester and I was going to miss them. Now that I'm back at school, I have already put 6 hours of game time in just since Sunday and that will only continue to grow. With this playtime, I will be able to read chat and moderate chat, which to my knowledge is all that a JMod can do. Because this seemed fairly rudimentary, I found that it would be more meaningful to annotate what my desires and ambitions would be as a full moderator, since this should be the end goal of anyone applying on here in my eyes.

Since my playtime is your only real concern, I hope that my increase in playtime this next few weeks will allow you to change that -1 to a +1!

Thanks again for your valuable feedback, it is nice to have such an experienced player's perspective on how I am doing!

 

Thank you Simpelmartin, I appreciate the kind words!

Thank you for the feedback. Do you have any advice for me, or do you simply not want me to be accepted because you prefer a different candidate? If that is the case then I completely understand, but I want to know if there is anything about me that I should be working on, in your opinion. Thanks again!

Thank you very much, even when I was spending most of my time with family I was really interested in raid still, so I was talking in discord every single day, trying to contribute as much as I could. It is satisfying to me that you noticed, thank you so much!

Thank you Sikeo!

 

Thank you so much oh my gosh... It is so reassuring to see that people actually notice me as a new player that's not as known. I really appreciate the feedback, you're nothing but kind when I see you around so your opinion means a lot to me!
