What is your Minecraft username?
My Minecraft username is DrJohann
How old are you?
I am currently 12 years of age. I will be 13 in July.
I hope you won't judge the fact that I am only 12, I am mature and, in my opinion, capable of handling this position. I hope that maturity is more of a deciding factor than age.
What country do you live in (or state if you live in the US)?
I live in Darwin, Australia
What time are you on most often (according to your time zone)?
I am always on Minetime from 3-5 PM, and I'm usually on sometime around 5-6 PM on weekdays. I can sometimes be on at 10 AM -6 PM on weekends, and also the times listed above (3-5 PM, 5-6PM). I have school and homework, so I can't be on 6 hours a day. I'm fitting Minecraft into my schedule, though, and I'm trying to be online at least 2 hours every day. My timezone is (UTC+09:30) Darwin. (Coordinated Universal Time). I can change the time I'm usually online, if needed.
How long have you been playing Minecraft? Do you play a lot?
I have been playing Minecraft for about 6 months. I started in Beta 1.4, I think. I have played Minecraft Pocket Edition since March 2013. I'm on Minecraft for at least 2 hours every day. Minecraft is, by far, one of my favorite games and I play it very often.
Have you ever been punished on any other server? If so, what for?
I have been muted on Prison before for one hour because I said 'wtf.' I have learned from my mistake. Other than that, I have never been punished, and I don't plan to be in the future. I don't like to pick fights with other players, so I don't usually get punished for swearing and threats.
Where do you play most on? You can include multiple servers if you would like.
I play on Factions and Creative the most, and Prison sometimes. (I've become addicted to Creative recently). Occasionally I log onto Infection, Survival and KitPvP. I'd be willing to moderate on any of the servers on ThiefPVP, though.
Have you had any previous experience in an authoritative position? Feel free to include real-life experiences such as "I used to be a lifeguard" or "I volunteer at my church".
I don't have very much experience in real life with authoritative positions, but I'm currently Treasurer for Student Council at school. In ThiefPVP Factions I've led a couple of factions, and that kind of helps with improving your leadership and decision-making skills, because you have to decide who gets Faction Moderator, how much land you need to claim, and constantly check your faction members' power and deciding whether to kick them or not.
How much time do you usually spend on ThiefPVP in a day?
2 hours most of the time, possibly more. At most I can be online 3 hours a day..
When did you first join ThiefPVP?
I joined ThiefPVP awhile ago. My friend enjoyed playing on this server, so he introduced me to ThiefPVP. I was just starting Minecraft at the time, and I've made many friends on this server. I started on the Runescape server, collecting resources and PvPing, but when that got deleted, I moved onto Skywars where I improved my PvP skills, made friends and had lots of fun. Then Prison came up. I mined for a few hours a day, and I quickly got to Freeman and then Citizen. ThiefPVP is what keeps Minecraft awesome!
Do you have any specific skills in Minecraft such as building or plugin experience?
I'm good at Minecraft in general, but I don't really excel at many specific aspects of the game. I'd say I'm alright at building. I'm not one of those builders that spend 20 hours on an awesome mansion, but my work is alright. I've also spent hours having fun in Creative with my friends and building interesting buildings and objects. I'm familiar with the Factions plugin and have been playing Faction servers for a long time, so I know how to manage a faction, decide who to trust, and make sure the members don't go crazy, while improving my building skills, and self-control (not giving too many members Faction moderator because they begged for it, or not claiming too much land for a huge base.) If needed, I can learn a bit about coding plugins- I am a fast learner. I am already familiar with WorldEdit, as I have spent lots of time in Creative messing around and experimenting with //set, //undo, //up and other similar commands. I also know about the PermissionsEx plugin as well as WorldGuard and Essentials.
What would you say to someone younger than you that dreamed to accomplish an impossible task?
"It doesn't hurt to try." To reach a goal, you need to be determined to reach it. You need to stay persistent, motivated and you need to know your purpose for achieving it. If you fail, you can always try again. Keep trying until you reach your goal.
Don't let anyone knock you down. If they do, get back up and try harder, because you're going to get it someday. If you come across a barrier blocking you from achieving your goal, knock it down and move on.
I would help them with what I can help with, but not fill them with false hope. It all comes down to what they can do in the end- it depends on what they do to achieve the task. Ordinary, everyday people can achieve extraordinary things with a bit of effort and determination.
Do you have Skype? If so, do you have a microphone?
I recently created a Skype account. My computer has a built-in microphone.
Anything you'd like me to know
I have been a dedicated player ever since I joined ThiefPVP. I know lots about this amazing server as well. I really love to help people. In Factions, I like to give people advice, tell them how to play Factions, how to manage a Faction and that sort of stuff. I like the fact that I can just spend a few moments of my time to make someone's time at ThiefPVP more enjoyable.
I am a fast typer, and I try to respond to everyone that messages me and answer their question(s) as best I can. I like to message people and talk to them, and just chat and make a new friend. I always type words correctly, so people can actually understand me. I put others' needs in front of my own and I'm very patient when it comes to responding, so even if that person's question is simple, like "How do I join a game?" I'll be happy to answer it, no matter how many times they ask. I'm not a fan of swearing, and I have never insulted or bullied someone on any servers. I know lots about most of the servers so most of the time I answer questions regarding gameplay correctly.
I know I'm not perfect, so I'll mess up. I won't try to seem perfect and I definitely will not abuse my position if I get it. I am able to be very mature when I need to, and I'm always friendly and want to help out . I'd also be happy to moderate the Forums- I'm on the Forums quite often. I am always responsible and helpful no matter what the situation is.
I know that this position is one where you have to be hardworking, dedicated and responsible. I am willing to dedicate as much time as possible to helping this wonderful server.
I'm not applying for Helper because I want fancy commands or authority over others or whatever, I'm doing it because I want to help make Minetime an even better server than it is now, and make sure everyone's experience at ThiefPVP is a good experience. I am very responsible and will not abuse my position. If I'm not chosen, it's not a big deal, I know there might be someone much more suitable for the position than I am. Becoming a Helper would allow me to help people even further. I will continue to help people out and answer questions even if I don't get chosen for ThiefPVP Staff.
Many people see this as just the average, ordinary server. But it's more than that. It's a friendly, respectful community where you can just have fun and be yourself. This community shouldn't get ruined because of spamming, swearing or anything of that sort. I want to help maintain this community and make it even better, because this server is kind of like my second home. A lot of extraordinary people are here. I want to help these people understand the gameplay and have a good time. That is why I am applying for Helper.
Have a great day!
Thanks for reading my application. I hope you take me into consideration!
