Are you going to apply for staff? by Colecrc July 28, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

Who here is going to apply for staff when the apps open up in about a month because I am :D

Numberz_ July 28, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

I will but my spelling is not the best so. I don't have a chance.

Snowcone202 July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

I can't i don't have skype :P.

Numberz_ July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

I can't i don't have skype :P.
I think the interviews are done on Team Speak.

Mango_ July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

I think the interviews are done on Team Speak.
That's correct, however both Skype and TeamSpeak are required.

dodgerXyz July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

Dudgur still needs tp do his interview

steven5703 July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

No. ._.

I would think it would be cool to "keep the meanies away!!11!11111!!!", but I really just want to play Avicus without thinking "ooooh, should I answer that? or should I just keep playing?".

Plus look at my infractions, I stand no chance ._.

Da_Baus July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

i might if i get enough posts

Emmaye July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

why

Zedther July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

Maybes, I's haves has got the many good grammar :3

Da_Baus July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

xD

Teh_Senpai July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

Idk if I should :P

JOHN_CENAAAAAAAA July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

I'm going to, and I encourage you guys to as well!

ballzi July 28, 2014 at 7:07 AM UTC

yes i will if i make it :I

Aanszo July 28, 2014 at 8:07 AM UTC

I might xD

ImJeezus July 28, 2014 at 8:07 AM UTC

no

_Avy July 28, 2014 at 8:07 AM UTC

I might force all of Cacalmarin to..
Idk XD

Netuxx July 28, 2014 at 8:07 AM UTC

I maybe would but better not because i know myself and i know i can't do things right .-.

rememes July 28, 2014 at 8:07 AM UTC

I can at least have a try :) But I really don't mind if I get denied.

Notalgicular July 28, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

Is it bad that I've already got my application written up?

Riskayyy July 28, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

Is it bad that I've already got my application written up?
Quite possibly. Application questions could have changed.

Notalgicular July 28, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

Quite possibly. Application questions could have changed.
Damn :3
I just checked, I wrote it up on the 15th if June .. :3

_DC July 28, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

I think I would be wasting everyone's time for me to apply again.

I think i'm a mature enough person(You decide about that) it's just when I came to the interviews I could not get all my ideas across that I would have and didn't express myself the ways I would have in a normal chat situation.

This is simply because i'm shy. Drama is my worst subject in school and I hate doing anything in front of a large body of people and people of high authority.

SpicyTunaRoll9 July 28, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

No.
Why? Don't get me wrong I love the staff, but I don't want to become a staff member for a couple of reasons.
1. I'm too busy.
I'm 17, going into senior year, and it's the most crucial period of my life. I have massive amounts of homework, exam preparation, College prep, etc etc.
2. Sometimes you have to come to reports when you don't want too.
Yeah sure, having /kick and /warn is pretty cool. But when you're killfarming in Quintus and you're getting reports about a hacker in another game I've seen mods sigh with depress. I know this is inevitable and is part of being a staff member but I just don't want to have to deal with this. 
3. You have a lot of responsibilities.
Personally I don't feel as if I can carry all of these.

Zeusy July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

I'll try my best. (;

S3M3L July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

I would like to as well, but I got a full-time job and a little girl at home. When I play, I do just a single hour or two.

Zedther July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

I'll try my best. (;
You should apply for staff :) hue

Derumisis July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

I am very close to giving up ._.


I have applied many times, the time when I got to the interview... I failed the interview

But im not giving up yet. I will try again, and hope that howsie gives me a chance that im speaking at 8am in the interviews... Everyone sleeps at that time at my house. ._.

Arachadonic July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

What's your timezones if I may ask? :p

Derumisis July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

What's your timezones if I may ask? :p
GMT - Greenwich Mean Time

I live in London

Arachadonic July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

GMT - Greenwich Mean Time

I live in London
Crap I'm in GMT 0 too!
Ireland though :p
I suppose it could be earlier though so it's not too bad.

Jerseys July 28, 2014 at 10:07 AM UTC

I don't want to become moderator because i'm not that guy, who will be mature at that job.

hallomj July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

Yes, I'm going to apply.
Probably I'm not here a lot of time, but i know how this server works, know the rule, because friend of me is playing here 24/7 xD.

UnkelBen July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

Yes, I'm going to apply.

Let me guess, you are an alternate account of....samir_14?

AviatorWeiss July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

i might but i might not make it :P

cinammoncroc000 July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

I'm not sure if I'm ready for staff. And my school schedule is extremely demanding, so I probably wouldn't be active enough to maintain my position anyways >_<

I may as well give it a shot, though... x)

ayy July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

I might give it a shot... I know/knew quite a few mods.

Arachadonic July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

I might give it a shot... I know/knew quite a few mods.
I would hope and like to think that the process isn't decided by how popular you are or who you know high up.

Riskayyy July 28, 2014 at 11:07 AM UTC

I would hope and like to think that the process isn't decided by how popular you are or who you know high up.
It doesn't.

Just because you know a few staff members, it doesn't guarantee a position. It all comes down to how well written the application is.

Cezbla July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

Yes, but I do not think I would make it

The reason is I am a young kid I am 13 years old and I swear sometimes, I can work on my behavior but my past is going to haunt my future, that's why I think I will never get the chance to become a avicus staff member, I have enough post's WAY OVER ENOUGH PLAYER REPORTS and I am trying to change the swearing but I mean my tempban was for a death threat.... so I know for a fact that past always ruins my future.



Like my dad got a divorce this year with my mom I live with my mom but I got pissed at my dad in the begining saying "Your such a as_ H_le" and he brought  that to the court against my mom on how she was raising me


Example anything I do Always screws me over.

IamSUPERMAN2007 July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

Nope, I don't have a headset/microphone. Also i need to improve my English. :S
And... I'm bad at writing. There are many more things why i am not making a staff app. =3

SpicyTunaRoll9 July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

I might give it a shot... I know/knew quite a few mods.
FYI ylo got demoted for inactivity cuz he had to participate in breaking core and was generally dedicated in ocn. You have to stay commited to avicus otherwise you'll probs be demoted for inactivity (unless you only want a trial run that is)

Kels July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

I might because ocn killed the cels43

BoldAndBrash July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

I've never done it before. Also, I'll probably do it on NuclearDucky so my sis can help me out : )

ayy July 28, 2014 at 12:07 PM UTC

I would hope and like to think that the process isn't decided by how popular you are or who you know high up.
I never said it did. What I was trying to say is that I wouldn't mind being a part of the staff team, especially when I know a few people in it.

@Spicy I am by no stardards inactive. I am almost always on the forums despite being on holiday therefore unable to play in-game.

Porkyyy July 28, 2014 at 1:07 PM UTC

I would really like to become a Jr. Mod and eventually a Moderator on Avicus, and I will try my best to write a solid application.
But, I do not want to apply if people on Avicus have something against me. Yes, I was recently banned and then unbanned, but I have changed now, and understand that Avicus isn't the place where you should break rules, or any server for that matter.

Just a little tip for those of you applying...
If anyone wants to become a moderator, do not do it for the sake of kicking and banning players. Do it for the good of the community. Make your role have an importance, and make sure that you're not applying for the wrong reasons. Also, do not try to become a moderator if it affects anything in your life outside Minecraft. If you see that your grades are falling because of this, then you should probably leave this position, because school always comes first.
Also, do not let it get between you and your social life.
If you are spending way too much time on Minecraft / Moderating on Avicus, make sure that you have enough time to spend with your family and friends.
Just make sure that you know how everything will work out in your real life before applying for this position.
-Porky.

Zaayk July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

I'd like to apply for staff again.

I have applied 5 times, 4 got denied and 1 was under review, then denied.

The first four were lack of detail, and I don't know why the 5th was denied.

I just want to help out the community. I've been here since MC Zone, and I love being on the forums and being active in the community.
I just feel like I could do so much to help out the community, and I have enough time to be on here 1-2 hours a day at least.

It's also that everyday I see people break the rules, and when I /report it still takes a few minutes for a staff member to come, but they don't see what you see. They're not with you in that moment, they don't always see how abusive someone is being.

The only other option is screenshotting and forum reporting, but usually not enough evidence is able to be gotten, a few screenshots don't prove how bad they were being.

So, everytime applications open, I will try and try again to get interviewed.

-Zach

Fouled July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

I don't know if im going to apply for staff again, but I might give it a shot.. Since it was one of my MCzone past time dream..

MissCarmel July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

Noooope :P being a staff member was super fun but I'm done with it

Joao_Victor July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

You guys should give it a shot, it's not that hard with dedication and some writing skills :D

Notalgicular July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

You guys should give it a shot, it's not that hard with dedication and some writing skills :D
I already have mine written up, I hope its the same format as last time.

Numberz_ July 28, 2014 at 2:07 PM UTC

You guys should give it a shot, it's not that hard with dedication and some writing skills :D
I have the dedication just not the writing skills :/

justinrockslegos July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

I think I will apply 

Porkyyy July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

Cole, are you sure that they are opening in a month, or was that just a guess?

carrie_may July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

maybe if they'll allow people who are active even though you can't go online for 4 days only every week (when you have school)

Porkyyy July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

maybe if they'll allow people who are active even though you can't go online for 4 days only every week (when you have school)
Carrie you should apply!
You're always nice and helpful in-game and on the forums. :)

Shoto_ July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

I'm applying. I got accepted for interview, but my microphone decided to not work. -_-

kycrafft July 28, 2014 at 3:07 PM UTC

D: no.

TheMasterClock July 28, 2014 at 4:07 PM UTC

No. I don't really think having a job in a video game would be good because I got to be in the server a lot. I don't think looking at a screen for a long time is healthy for me.

ProfessorUtonium July 28, 2014 at 4:07 PM UTC

I'm going to be applying for staff when the applications are open. Hopefully my spelling is enough to get approved.

MidnightBeats July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

I will sign up for mod...I have Skype but idk how to use teamspeak yet :3

QFrog July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Yes, this time I will put so much detail that there will be too much detail.

goldenwalrus909 July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Nah, I play to have fun..
I'll still try to keep the community clean, but being an actual mod seems pretty stressful and boring.

ShiptheBattle July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

If you guys actually have a problem with applying for staff, such as, looking at a screen for too long, or having too much homework or class work, then it's your choice to apply. But I sincerely urge all of you who aren't applying to apply just because you think your own grammar isn't "good" enough. 
Always give it a try, it really isn't that much testing your grammar, the main purpose of the questions is to see how you respond to them and your creativity to them. 
Of course grammar is still important, but give it a try! 
It even practices your writing skills for school. :3

ayy July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Yes, this time I will put so much detail that there will be too much detail.
I somehow doubt that will help you.

QFrog July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

I somehow doubt that will help you.
Well yes too much detail is bad but I don't want to get deined for lack of detail again.

Joao_Victor July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Yes, this time I will put so much detail that there will be too much detail.
As long as it's relevant, it's fine.

Notalgicular July 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM UTC

Im a bit stuck.. Im not sure what I was denied for :/

Colecrc July 28, 2014 at 6:07 PM UTC

Cole, are you sure that they are opening in a month, or was that just a guess?
Heard it from the yoavkipper

adrianosborne July 28, 2014 at 6:07 PM UTC

Problably no...

Splades July 28, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

Yeah defenitly

Ogrey July 28, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

Sure, why not

ImJeezus July 28, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

There is a reason, im not applying. I wont say why however

Zaayk July 28, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

Just realized I was the 1000th view. o_o

Synergic July 28, 2014 at 7:07 PM UTC

I might...not sure yet.

RefuseToSink July 28, 2014 at 8:07 PM UTC

Still deciding if it's something I have the time to do, but I'm really leaning towards at least applying :3

Colecrc July 31, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

I guess most people aren't going to apply :(

Porkyyy July 31, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

I guess most people aren't going to apply :(
Cole, if you're certain that it's the right thing to do, take a chance and wish for the best, but don't do it if you know that it will get in the way of things.

Good luck applying. :)

Colecrc July 31, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

You too :)

Awarrior July 31, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

Op:   I dont have a chance after all I have done

Phobiaxx July 31, 2014 at 3:07 AM UTC

i might apply... but my application's probably gonna get denied for infecting and killing Howsie of boredomitis from a 5 page application....... o-o

Cyrus49 July 31, 2014 at 4:07 AM UTC

i will try, but i know some mods/staff don't like me

kycrafft July 31, 2014 at 4:07 AM UTC

If someone from the staff could float me over /kick permissions, that would be great but as previously stated I have no plans to apply.

ImJeezus July 31, 2014 at 4:07 AM UTC

I guess most people aren't going to apply :(
Why does it matter if we are not going to apply?
Not everybody gets accepted for interview and it usually the top 100 players on the leaderboard.

kycrafft July 31, 2014 at 4:07 AM UTC

Why does it matter if we are not going to apply?
Not everybody gets accepted for interview and it usually the top 100 players on the leaderboard.
No it's usually the bottom 100 players, get your facts straight. 


Come on. The top 100 (or whatever number, really) players generally know the server the best and know how the community works. But I suppose being popular in the community wouldn't hurt your chances.

D00ZiE July 31, 2014 at 4:07 AM UTC

Why does it matter if we are not going to apply?
Not everybody gets accepted for interview and it usually the top 100 players on the leaderboard.
Your place on the leaderboards has no affect on your ability to get staff. It may seem that the top 100 players on the leaderboards go for mod because they are usually the most active.

Joltz_ July 31, 2014 at 5:07 AM UTC

I would give it a go, erm, but I'm dumb, meaning, I can't talk, and it's not because I don't like talking, but I legit cant talk, mainly because my voice box always hurts like hell.

UnkelBen July 31, 2014 at 5:07 AM UTC

I wanna try for junior mod.
Tyler (aka doctapop) told me it was really a dream <3

Hete July 31, 2014 at 5:07 AM UTC

Well, I was one of the staff members in a huge pixelmon community before. But really, I think I just want to have some fun now. I've tried it, and it takes a huge amount of responsibility for the job.

So the answer is No

ImJeezus July 31, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

No it's usually the bottom 100 players, get your facts straight. 


Come on. The top 100 (or whatever number, really) players generally know the server the best and know how the community works. But I suppose being popular in the community wouldn't hurt your chances.
My point is its mostly the popular players.
Give unpopular players a chance at least, they might be good at modding.

Riskayyy July 31, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

My point is its mostly the popular players.
Give unpopular players a chance at least, they might be good at modding.
Unpopular users have the same chances as a "popular" regular would have if they had ALL the requirements. There are requirements to apply, that's why players who don't go on the forums are usually denied.

cinammoncroc000 July 31, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

I wanna try for junior mod.
Tyler (aka doctapop) told me it was really a dream <3
That's a great goal Yoav! I support you all the way :)

SnowSX3 July 31, 2014 at 6:07 AM UTC

I don't have TS so that's me out XD

FrostedCupcakez July 31, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

Yeah! Totally nervous though.. Got to make sure my app is perfect. PERFECT!

HotAndCrunch July 31, 2014 at 9:07 AM UTC

I probably will

Pinkyice003 July 31, 2014 at 1:07 PM UTC

I think I might give it a shot, but I probably need to go on the forums more often

BelgiumWaffles August 8, 2014 at 12:08 PM UTC

Nope i belong somewhere els.

Arachadonic August 8, 2014 at 12:08 PM UTC

I might. Depends when the applications open. Preferably sooner than later.

vladthegreat100 August 8, 2014 at 12:08 PM UTC

yussssssssssss <3 I hope they don't change format or else my 6 paragraph essay and my 4 paragraph essay for
Why do you believe you should be a moderator for Avicus?:
and
How would you benefit the Avicus staff team?

would be all gone down the drain :c unless they keep those 2 questions, my app has over 1000 words and its 3 pages long on microsoft word <3 xD big improvement from last apps, I did a phrase for each question xD

vladthegreat100 August 8, 2014 at 12:08 PM UTC

I don't have TS so that's me out XD
............ why not just download ts and make an account with it xD

WordlessGeek August 8, 2014 at 1:08 PM UTC

I will when I'm a bit more known on the server and have more playing time ;)

Robin_DD_J August 8, 2014 at 1:08 PM UTC

I think i got good chances, but I´ve been staff before, and one thing i learnd you cant apply after a week.. So I will wait.

PublixEmployee August 8, 2014 at 1:08 PM UTC

I will when I'm a bit more known on the server and have more playing time ;)
Welcome to the server then!
And good luck to you on achieving those two tasks!

Tekcrezec162 August 8, 2014 at 1:08 PM UTC

I would but really busy these days :C
Plus I have a problem with teamspeak.

dcrising2002 August 8, 2014 at 4:08 PM UTC

i dont have Skype
