What is your experience and knowledge of Brawl? -



I purchased my Minecraft account in December of 2012 and shortly after found McPvP’s website when looking for multiplayer servers to play on. I quickly fell in love with Capture the Flag on McPvP; I found myself spending my free time playing CTF, and occasionally HG and Sabotage. I was introduced to competitive CTF and the team scene and joined my first official team (Search & Destroy) within my first year of playing the game. At the time, I had no idea competitive teams existed but quickly became more dedicated to becoming a strong and competitive player. But, more importantly, I cherished the friendships I gained and the sense of unity that came with being part of a team. I joined The Flying Walruses under the leadership of Snowtucs and remained a senior member of TFW through McPvP’s transfer to Brawl. I continued to be an active member of the community and the team until its eventual disband in September of 2016. Since then, I have been a member of a more competitive CTF teams (Valory, BK, and TBF) and a mercenary for countless others. Recently, in November, I decided to co-lead a CTF team filled with both new and veteran players in order to help grow the team scene within CTF and, most importantly, have fun.

Since the merger to Brawl, I have spent some time checking out Brawl’s other game modes. Before the shut down, I occasionally played Hunger Games and participated in the HG “Winter Tournament,” which I really enjoyed. My friends and I have played War, Party, Raid, and War-Z throughout my time at Brawl. Although I spend a majority of my time on Capture the Flag, I have a basic level of understanding of all the game modes that Brawl has to offer.


What is your experience with moderating servers, if any? - A few years ago, my cousins, siblings, and I made a private server for us to play on that we called EpicCraft. There was never more than ten people online at a time, but I was able to play around with commands and get a better understanding of what being a staff member would entail.


Why do you want to become a moderator on Brawl? - I really care about CTF and Brawl as a whole, as they are two things that have been with me throughout my life and shaped who I am today.

Foremost, I want to help new players learn and adjust to the game. CTF has a very large learning curve and it can take a long time to fully grasp the details of the game. I love helping people and, as a staff member, I want to be a resource that players can come to if they have a question or just want to talk to me for any reason. I also appreciate expanding my social circle and meeting new people.

Catching and disciplining rule breakers is a major responsibility of being a staff member. I have recently learned the ins and outs of recording gameplay and have begun to submit reports on players who I suspect are using hacked clients on the server. My experience has also played a large role. Throughout my many years, I have been given the opportunity to see how staff members handle certain situations. Being able to witness their work first-hand has given me an excellent example of how staff members should conduct themselves.

In general, I just want to “do more.” I am at a point right now where my in-game activity is at an all-time high, and it is going to remain that way for the foreseeable future. I have been fortunate enough to serve as one of the leaders of Olympus, a Player Pool Match (PPM) host, a streamer, analyst, and writer for CTF Match Spotlight, and currently working on two CTF maps. I upload Brawl-related content on my YouTube channel which, although very small, may attract players towards Brawl. I am grateful to have these opportunities to influence and be a presence in the community, but I want to take the next step forward.


Have you ever used a hacked client before? - I have never used a hacked client. I take great pride in being a legitimate player.


Have you ever been punished (banned, kicked, muted, etc) legitimately on a public Minecraft server? If so, why? - My only legitimate punishment has come on Brawl. I was warned in early 2018 for hackusating another player in chat. I have been falsely autobanned three times and falsely banned once while playing on an alternate account (this was quickly resolved within two days).


What do you consider your greatest strength? - My greatest strength is my ability to listen to what others have to say. I believe there is something you can learn from every person, positive or negative. I am always open to hearing what others have to say and using their opinions and ideas to influence my own choices.


What do you consider your greatest weakness? - My lack of creativity. Throughout my life, I have struggled with things such as drawing and creative writing. This may present a challenge if I am asked to come up with new ideas for events or tweaks to classes. Currently, I prefer to give my feedback and opinions on ideas that are proposed. This is definitely something I want to improve, and becoming a moderator will help me to expand my creativity through collaborating with others in the community on new thoughts, ideas, and events. I believe that I can best serve the community by expanding on the thoughts and ideas of others to make the server a better place to play.
