3 Years - Brawl

So recently I was wondering how much years I have spent on Brawl and according to this screenshot:

I'm proud to celebrate my registration's 3rd anniversary. And let me tell you a little story:

Everything begun when I was only a child who was only 11 years of age. In the days when I was only
playing alone, I told myself wether joining a Minecraft community would be great or not. By watching the very old Mc-Warfare trailer I was sure this server should be a great experience for me and to improve my English as a foreign. Also like everyone, I started playing this server without knowing that there was a very large community. I first joined this server (also Brawl) in September 2013.

I kept playing War until mid-August 2013 because my dad and my sister were playing a French game
called Dofus and I wanted to join them and play with them. Therefore I stopped playing War and even Minecraft. I had a lot of fun times with my family and the friends I met there. Kill creatures, monsters and other players, sell items for in-game money, succeed in beating bosses at the end of dungeons, travel around regions, these facts was here to please us. But these moments stopped when developers released 2.0, I lose my friends who had the same thoughts as ours - stop playing is best the way.

1 year after (September 2014), I missed Minecraft, my friends too, consequently, I restarted McBrawl
or rather War. A lot of updates and modifications were unknown for me. I made many new friends with whom I keep having great times. But one thing changed everything - I discovered the real face of a Minecraft community - I discovered the forums. As many new members on the forums, I didn't post my application as soon as I knew that you could make one. I waited just a bit before making mine. I posted my first staff application in October 2014 but I couldn't be accepted, I was active in-game, but Teamspeak and the forums were two things I really had to work on. Obviously my English and my maturity as well.

Then I got denied but I didn't give up, I really wanted to become a "Jmod", that's why I started to be
active on the forums but in a wrong way, I was only replying by saying "Good luck with your team", "Good job" etc. I was not helpful, and I learnt this thought the replies on my second application. This latter was really odd. I copied and pasted texts translated by Pons (same as Google Translate). Also like the first one - got denied.

I started to play FpsHG with the intention of becoming "Jmod" on this server. I enjoyed playing on
FpsHG but now this server doesn't exist anymore - but I save this for later. Improving my English was one of my best priority and I really had to work on. Speaking to other players on TS and posting messages / creating threads were good exercises for me and they still are but less helpful. My third application were posted and once again the problems were my English and my TS activity.

My TeamSpeak, forums and in-game activities were fine, my English was still the problem. Practicing
makes perfect, that's why I kept practicing my English in a good way. I kept doing what I said aforementioned. That is why I posted an other application a long time ago by thinking I could get accepted due to my outstanding efforts (in my opinion). Then one of my best friends responded to my application by saying that I couldn't get accepted. I was so sad and shaken up. I did everything I could to get accepted but this was not enough.

Then I made my outro but I did not really know what I was doing, given that I came back three days
after posting it. I really did not want to lose my friends and the great times I've had with them. As written in every paragraph, I kept improving my English and this is why I did one of the best application I've never done before. Then happened something unexpected - I got accepted into the next stage and I had to schedule my interview on TeamSpeak. I did so, they asked me questions - I answered them, and at the end of this, something bad happened. I really do not want to look back on this interview... Sorry.

One month after, an other application came out and I got accepted one week later (not the best).
Scheduling my interview was something easy for me because I had already done one also I got finally accepted. Now it was the time for Trial Stage. But one problem - SG and SGG were both down, also I asked if it was possible to be promoted on an other server. I had two choices - CTF or War, and given that I left War, I chose CTF, but things didn't turn out as expected:

"A player asked me if I was a mod on CTF, I spelled out that yes and why I was a CTF Jmod. But, lots of players expressed themselves and they started to say that I had no knowledge with CTF and how it is running. Consequently I explained to them heretofore mentioned. But obviously they didn't give up. They carried on criticizing me and they started to do some unreasonable inanities. Because of this, I warned them more than 1 times to put the problems back to rights. Unfortunately, they didn't accept this way and they strayed from the straight and narrow, also needless to say that I muted them for Staff Disrespect. Now the problem is that they couldn't accept that, also they reported me on Slack for Abuse Of Power before I had the change to draw breath."

This was a long time ago, therefore I had to become a Jmod on an other server because of that. So that was War.

One month later, I checked Slack and I saw lots of promotions, I looked if there was my name, and indeed it was. I was promoted to Global Jmod after a month of trial. Afterwards, I was used to moderating any server, as long as things turned out as expected. One day, we had to take a hacking test in order to promote us (or not) to Moderator. Unfortunately, I have failed it but that was as some hacked clients were still unknown for me. During this time, too many staff members were focussed on War so I was promoted to KitBrawl given that I was more active on this one. Consequently, I was able to improve my skills in banning hackers, and I was more than ready for a second hacking test.

The second one was around October, and given that I was a Jmod on KitBrawl and as you might know, there are a lot of hackers (well while I was still Mod), so I passed it with 19.5/20. That's why I got promoted to Moderator a month after Global Jmod.

A month after, I still do not know why I did that because school and sports remained the same so I was able to manage everything, I made a resignation:

Then I left Brawl with the intention of never coming back. But I noticed how wonderful is this community. So that's why I came back a month ago, with a view to become a staff member again. I still have to work a little on my activity due to my previous inactivity on every brawl platforms.

I want to tell you, the most important thing that happened to me is clearly that I was able to belong to a staff team from a wonderful community despite my country of origin which provides problems for me. Namely the problems regarding my English and I know that there are still lots of grammatical errors but I try to get better. So whoever you are, wherever you are from, whatever you think of me, I'm very thankful.

However, some players deserve a special tag.

@Lord_Roke: Even if I still think you do not like me, I'd like to thank you for always being here when I was a staff member, you learnt me lots of things which I won't forget.

@Lozzylouise: You already know what I'm thinking about you and how great is/was our relationship (before that little incident).

@protatopotpie: Same as Lozzy (except the incident).

@18kss: We have worked together on FpsHG and SGG alongside @King_Daan. It was really fun to work and play with you both.

@brotatopotpie: Same as Lozzy and Expert.

@Totom3: Je suis obligé de le faire en français comme ça ce sera plus simple pour moi et pour toi. Je ne peux pas te dire oh combien de je suis heureux d'avoir quelqu'un comme toi en tant que Developer. Je ne peux imaginer comment serait HG sans toi. Et bonne chance pour War 2.0. Je compte sur toi, mais vu le travail que tu fournis, il sera très bien fait.

@fillpant: We had one of my best War moments together with @phillip0602, @PoixMine, @SkullcrusherLD, @Cherrybae, @DarkTitan_ and other must be recognizing.

I may forget some people, but I can't tag everyone. So once again, thanks for being here for me everyday and for making my English better from day to day.

btw @Lord_Roke, it's your registration's anniversary too!
