Staff Spotlight #3 - TylerdotMichael by Crazy_ June 17, 2017 at 7:06 PM UTC

In this third Staff Spotlight we're taking time to get know one of our newest Senior Moderators - TylerdotMichael. We're excited to have him on the team, and we look forwards to what he's going to bring to the table!

Introduce yourself
Hey everyone, many of you know me as Tyler. I’ve been playing on Avicus for over 3 years - back when it was known as MC Zone. I’ve been playing minecraft for over 7 years now. I am a student in college hoping to be finishing up here soon. I went to two different colleges at once, so I have completed my AA in Graphic Design and the second degree I am working on is a BS in Integrative Studies. For those of you that don’t know what that is, it pretty much allows me to make up my own degree with 3 interest. My areas are in Costume Design, Fine Art, and New Media Art. My goal with these degrees is to work at Disney.

What are your hobbies?
Pretty much anything creative. Specifically costuming, rendering, video games, and getting this t-shirt business going.

​What are you most excited/obsessed over at the moment?
Anyone that knows me well, it is League of Legends. This is the one thing that constantly helps me procrastinate from my homework. I just can’t say no to playing this game lol.

What interests you the most in life?
It is getting to be a part of something that’s bigger than myself. All of us, individually, can only do so much on our own. But when we all come together and work towards a common goal it’s quite amazing to see what we can do. This is specifically why I have such a huge fascination with the Disney Parks. The things they are able to create and do down there is amazing.


What music/art/media do you like?
My music taste pretty much varies. Currently obsessed over the soundtrack to the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. When it comes to art and media and I highly fascinated with how technology is being combined in the costuming world - hence why I am studying New Media Art. This can range from 3D printing, lights in clothing, projection lighting, and eInks.

​Where are you from?
Midwest, USA. Never traveled outside of the States, really hope to someday. Also a big fan of accents so it’s great being apart of a server where I get to hear so many different ones.

What’s your favourite thing about being a staff member?
Being a player on the server for so long and now being a part of it is great. It’s really exciting to know I can help shape and have input into where the server goes. I want to help keep it the wonderful place it is/was when I started and keep that going strong.


What excites you the most about becoming a Senior Moderator?
For me I view it as an opportunity to have more of a voice in the staff team to hopefully help create a great place that can be passed down to our players. I want to help keep Avicus a fun and safe place that players can join when they have had a shitty day and just want to hang out and bond with other people.

What’s your most memorable experience as a staff member?
I wouldn’t say I have an exact favorite moment. Some of the ones that come to mind that I loved would be when the server is packed full of people, not only players but staff as well. I always liked getting to see the staff team working together in taking reports and also playing with the community and doing fun goofy things. Also whenever random TNT spawns. That’s my favorite xD
