x Trial TheMafias J-Mod Application

Brawl Junior Moderator Application:

Cuddled told me I should use the same application for this month. Also, thanks cuddled for the advice last month.

Have you read over this thread? -

I have read this thread as of 3/7 and am fully aware of the requirements.

What is your in-game name? - TheMafias
Have you changed your name in the past? If you have, please list them. -

EminemsMafias (Original) was my first name until 6/24/15
TheMafias 6/24/2015, 3:56 PM

Does anyone else have access to your Minecraft account? -

My friend actually owned this account for a year until he decided to quit. I changed the password and email linked to it when I migrated my account back in 6/15

No one has access to the account since, so it is now locked down.

How old are you? -

I am eight-teen years old, going to a university.

What time zone are you in? -

Central standard Time

Are you multilingual? Can you speak multiple languages? -

I do speak very little Spanish, I read it better than I can understand it. Other than that, Perfect English.

What is your experience and knowledge of Minecraft? -

My experience of Minecraft is almost flawless, to where in-game, I know everything.

• How the game works
• What it actually allows players to do
• Who isn't using the game right

I also understand the online mechanics such as redstone and command blocks.
When it comes to PvP, I understand how players act and when they are not doing something legal.

What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? -

I have such little experience that I wouldn't really go into detail with it. On a decent server like this, I would need to relearn the responsibilities of a staff member.

1. Moderating -

• Factions
• Survival

Helped with game running and player management

1. Administration

• Factions
• Survival

Helped with building, game running, plugin management, and player management.

These servers where basically PlanetMinecraft servers, which we all know most of those aren't really good. It has been at least 3 years since I have moderated any server and would like to try again. I know I am right for the position and wish I can prove myself to work past JMOD.

What will you provide to the community if you are provided moderator status? -

I can provide my past experiences on how to play the gamemodes I am familiar with.

1. Survival PvP

• How to track efficiently
• Where is a good spot to mine
• How to build a good base/vault
• How do to avoid being raided
• How to prepare for PvP
• What is the best way to report a player
• Who can I trust
• Where do I purchase Ranks
• Answer FAQ

1. Hardcore games

• How do I select a kit
• What are some good kits
• How to play
• How to win
• Answer FAQ
• What is the best way to report a player
• Where do I purchase kits/ranks

1. WildWest

• I have written a few guides
• I know every command
• How to quickly get someone started
• How to introduce decent gameplay for new players
• How to interact with the world
• Horses and such
• Everything sheriffy

I am really familiar with both of these two as I am from McPvP. I love teaching people how to play Hardcore games and linking people to tutorials for Survival if needed. Helping people makes me feel really happy because I get positive feedback, which is really all I want from being a Staff member.

Also with Wild West I have gotten a new love for it. I have enjoyed brawls creativity and it fits so well with a straight shoot 'em up game while doing "Side missions". Can't wait to keep playing and see it progress.

Have you ever used a hacked client before? -

I have used Nodus and Wurm. Here is my experience on them.
I have used Xray;Forcefield;KillAura;and Sprint
These were a long time ago and I will go as far as admitting using Xray for a week or two on Survival PvP last year, I was not punished and am grateful that I decided I needed to stop. Viva actually helped me, whether he knew or not. JustTactics' little brother did too. He was called BakersFamily then I think.

What I know Clients CAN do.
X-ray
Allows the player to see designated blocks
Fly hacking
Allows the player to fly
Forcefield
Allows the player to hit any entity within their reach
Kill aura
Allows players to target a entity and never miss
Sprint
Allows a player to constantly Sprint
FullBright
Allows the player to see perfectly in the dark
Crits
Allows the Player to only hit crits
NoKnockBack
Allows the player to receive no knock back
NoSlowDown
Allows the player to run through water/soul sand/ and cobwebs
Step
Allows player to ignore one block height
Vclip
Allows player to go through blocks of Verticle axis (This is almost impossible to do without getting caught now)
Freecam
Allows player to roam in a ghost form
Sneak
Allows player to sneak
WayPoints
Allows player to set a HUD point so they can get to their set location faster


Have you ever been banned on a Minecraft server? If so, why? -

I have been banned by lots of servers, none of which were for behavior related. It was all hacks related, which I know regret. Hey, at least I got to find brawl!
I was banned from McPvP quite a few times.

What do you consider your greatest strength? -
My greatest strength is I am fully understanding to people. I always take account in their point of view and understand why they act in certain ways or say things. I am naturally calm and at weird times can be really unnaturally calm(My Girlfriend says I'm a sociopath sometimes).

I can use this strength to keep people who are of mature age to calm down and talk to me so I can understand why they are doing what they are doing. Maybe even help them a lot in the process.
(Reason I say mature age is that sometimes you can't stop spammers or ragers, you just need to try your best to calm them down and if it doesn't work let them either rage in private chat to you or mute them for a little to let them calm down)

What do you consider your greatest weakness? -

I am really way to nice to people, and have a quick nature of anger issues, WHICH I HAVE FINALLY FIXED! *High fives Totom3*
I do have my moments though. I can sometimes be a little gullible and easily lied to if I am off my guard, other than that I am pretty good at catching lairs.


How active do you consider yourself on Brawl? -

I am on almost everyday, but with school and a upcoming job. I might be on most days minus one or two of the week to do school work. I know I am active enough to still be considered though.
Which Brawl servers are you most active on? -
Survival PvP (Recently - taking a break from HG, pretty much over the break though)
Hardcore games (I play a little too much, so I took a break)
Wild West (I get on to mostly talk to players and interact with my own team. I enjoy walking around the towns talking)
How many hours can you provide a day and during what time frame? -
I can provide at least 3-4 a day, minus 1 or 2 days.
On TS3 I would be less active then In-game, but I do not mind hopping on if needed while doing Homework.
I would still be in TS3 though.
In-game is pretty active and I am active among the community, I love talking to newer players and I hate when people fight.
I LOVE THE FORUMS. I love talking to people, I love reading peoples inputs, I love the debates. I just really enjoy getting on here and feeling like I fit in, which is what a lot of gamers need these days.

What would you do if someone breaks a rule in-game? -

• Hack Client

I would first Record it. Then Start uploading the video, I would message a SMOD+ that I have found a rule breaker and have full evidence on them.

• Chat

Record the rule breaker, when and how he broke the rule, and then talk to the player about it. If he continues I would use /chatreport . Inform a SMOD+ I have full evidence on the player.

What would you do if someone breaks a rule on the forums? -

I would click the report button, then start a conversation with the rule breaker asking why they said what they did, allowing them to get what they need out into the "open", without it being disruptive. I am kinda like a punching bag you could say.

What would you do if someone breaks a rule on TS3?

If someone is breaking a rule, I would simply ask them to stop along with a Poke saying please stop "such".
If they continue I would mute them for the amount of time they deserve for the rule they broke.

Situation (as a staff member): You log on Brawl, and you’re told that there is a huge, game-breaking economy glitch. No Admins are online to solve the situation. What steps would you take to handle the issue? -

If this were to happen, I would first identify the glitch. Message every online staff member, then Poke anyone that is on TS3 about it. After informing all possible online Staff, I would find out who knows it and keep it a secret til it is fixed. I would then answer all questions from the community while watching players to check for abusers. If I did find them, I would record them, tell them to stop. If they continued I would collect all of the proof I had on the player/players and post them all at once. (If I was allowed to kicked them or ban them for such time I would after warning them)

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

I have made Four actual Application, most of which were denied due to TS3 activity
I do have one that I prefer you look at due to how far I came from then. It was a rage post and was a long time ago. I do regret posting it and have fully accepted it will haunt me trying to get into staff. So I am going to point it out in hopes that the staff understand I have matured since then.

What is the date of the last application you submitted? -

Mar. 7 of this year. Denied due to my recent punishment record.

Do you have a working microphone? -

I have a built in microphone right now and I am working on getting my Turtle beaches back.

Are you able to record and upload videos? -

I am able to record very clear video and upload them within 20-30 minutes

Do you generally know how all the staff member commands work? -

It has been a few years but I do understand a little bit on the basics. I will try to pick it up as fast as I can.

Anything else we should know about you? -

I really enjoy being involved with the community and I am working on learning to master every gamemode so I can give my own input to every server possible. Only one I got left to master is CTF. I have enjoyed meeting a bunch of different players from different servers and I can't wait to be able to help out even more players with the months to come. Also I am willing to stand with Brawl during the EULA bunch.

Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

 

Thanks, you being the first to reply means a lot to me man! Also with the ingame rule breaking, I think I would handle it better in person than on paper, but overall coming from you. <3

 

Wow, that surprised me and means so much coming from a Dev.

 

Thanks! It took me long enough because of reasons! Like... good reasons... you know how long the lines are at walmart? Mario +1ing me means a lot to me too XD

Thanks man, +1 to your comment. +1 to everyone!

 

Which denial? The old one?

 

I do not remember, but if you said I did, then I will work on it. I mean who wouldn't be even a little upset being denied?

 

Okay, I'll work on that and I assure you, I do not hate ANY staff that had anything to do with denying me whatsoever but rather respect their strictness. As you can see from past apps I have improved quite a bit because of it. Thanks for the honest opinion though. I like it straight up

 

So would I, we got a lot in common. You are so chill and really respectful. Plus you were really nice to me and didn't push me away like a lot of people would expect staff to do. You have been an awesome friend. RockTomb! ftw
