Thanks, Snow! <3

The funniest moments happened in the #random channel back when steven and para would spam their memes and gifs, haha. The worst was probably being framed for being the guy sending the false emails and being banned and demoted for 3 weeks, I believe. :c

Best moment as a staff member?
What direction do you want Avicus to go into? Do not answer with getting more players thought. That would be boring.

Hey! :)

My favorite thing about the team are the people in it. They're all fun to chat with, and especially have some banter here and there.

Probably a PS4, I've still got my 360 gathering dust, haha.

The community & gamemodes are my favorite things about the server. Two things we need are successful advertisement, and better donor ranks since as of now, they don't seem to have any worth. The key feature (joining full teams) sometimes doesn't even work.

Jahaj got demoted in his first stint as mod, he came back later. Much less than a year.

  2. Do you sing whilst taking a shower/bath?
  3. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
  4. What 5 words would a close friend use to describe you?
  5. If emotions could be expressed as colours, which would anger be?
  6. What is your favourite month of the year?
  7. What was your first impression of me?

Gotta point out, these are some rad questions.
If I ever do another AMA, these are the kind of questions that would be so fun to answer.

My best moment as a staff member was probably my promotion to moderator. :>

I'd like for it to star developing efficiently, get a bigger player base going, and improve the gamemodes. Fix the bugs, get some YouTubers over here, become a growing, large server. Reassess the current gamemodes (get rid of SG and replace it with Sky Wars, etc.)

Sevoo May 25, 2016 at 9:05 PM UTC

Are you seriously still not a sr? Like wtf?

If you're willing for a few truckloads of salt then maybe you should do an AMA.

Do you like dinosaur chicken nuggets

BoldAndBrash May 27, 2016 at 2:05 AM UTC

The people on the staff team and being able to keep games clean whenever I'm on. :}

  6. What is your favourite month of the year? July, it's my birth month. :}
  7. What was your first impression of me? I mean, at the time you had just joined the forums I believe, so I just thought you were a random that'd be gone after a few weeks, and well, I was wrong haha.

Thanks! :)

I actually hardly know anything about it, with all the hype it's getting I really hope it isn't anticlimactic.

resepignev May 27, 2016 at 5:05 PM UTC

Sorry for bringing that up, but why did you come back after the wrong demotion/ban?
Do you still trust/respect the seniors as much as before the "accident"?

How do you see the current state of avicus?
What would you change?

If one of the admins decided to retire, who would you want to see as their successor?
And why?

I forgot it lol CONGRATZ!!!!

Thanks, Cyn! <3

Favorite video game besides Minecraft? Battlefront II (Battlefront EA is a downgrade)
What's the longest word you can think of that best describes you? Intellectual
Favorite movie of 2016? Haven't seen any movie this year, but the most recent was Force Awakens and it was pretty damn good.
What song gets stuck in your head the easiest? Hotline Bling
Pet peeve on Avicus? When the staff team starts somethings that is suppose to have a fixed schedule, but suddenly goes inactive and dies off. Or when a staff member says he's leaving then says "I have decided to stay!" Once everyone gets all watery eyed and say their goodbyes. Even if it isn't their intention, it looks like attention seeking.
Pet peeve outside of Avicus? Dabbing, whipping, any other crappy trend.
Nicest staff member? Rese
Nicest non-staff member? Buster

How did you come up with your Minecraft username?
My Xbox name was Da Badger, but DaBadger wasn't available when I got a new minecraft account for my birthday, so I could stop playing on NuclearDucky (shared account). Then, I told my older brother who was typing the names JJ to make it DaBadgerMC (Yeah, I was like 9) but he made a typo and forgot the g. Then, the name just stuck. :>

It's fine, I'm more than happy to discuss it. :) And thanks! <3

I came back to the staff team even though I was treated unfairly, but I believe everyone makes mistakes, and although the one they made was major, I still wanted to come back. Not to mention, if I couldn't come on Avicus I'd spend 12 hours of my day doing nothing. 

Avicus us isn't dying, it's just stuck at a very low level. We're still maintaining a 20-80 player base most of the time (EST) but we can obviously do better, since we use to get over 1000 users on at once.

Get rid of SG, make gamemode events such as "2x credit multiplier on Nexus for 1 week" or "Person with most kills in CTH today receives 3 keys!" That would encourage users to try other gamemodes and get some nise stuff out of it, too! Another thing I would change is the credit system. Although I know Funky for some reason doesn't want prestiges anymore, I think if we could use the credits to buy things ingame, it'd be awesome! To make sure we don't have diamond armored players buying 100s of golden apples, we could have a cool down or a cap on how many credits you can spend per game. I'm just rambling on now, so I'll leave this to be discussed another day or something. xP 

If an admin retired, I wouldn't really know who would be admin. As long as they got work done, stayed on schedule listened to all parts of the staff team & community, I'd be happy. If I had to pick,it'd be Greg, I guess.

Opinions on your demotion? Obivously wasn't a fan of it. I had a lot of support from community members (including you!) and by a few staff members. Only one of them tried to get me unbanned and repromoted and it worked, and upon my return, apparently nobody thought I did it. That didn't bother me, what bothered me was that not a single one of them tried to maybe find out more about what happened, fix things, etc. So I felt a bit betrayed by the mods and the seniors in a way. :>

Favourite cake flavour? This question seems familiar, I wonder where you got it? xP I like cookie cakes, cookies n creme cakes, ice cream cakes, and basically anything that is colorful and sugary. I'm not a fan of those walnut banana cake type of things. Nuts and veggies in cakes does not sound good at all! 

If there was one thing you could change in your life, what would it be? Where I live. Seriously, it's a ghetto with a bunch of craphole aparments, thugs, and kids who try to break windows with soccer balls. They literally built a fire station and police station RIGHT next to the neighborhood and I can show you some picture if you don't believe me lmao. 

Who or what would you bring to an uninhabited island? I would bring my family, a team of engineers, doctors, researchers, scientists, and chefs so I can create my own mini country. :> 
Why did you choose to apply for moderator? Did you think it was a good choice? I chose to apply a year ago because I felt that many reports weren't being handled, and because I wanted to make the community happy by showing them that they could play games without some teamspleefer going u punished or whatever. After I was a staff member for awhile, my reasons changed to being "help the server and stop it from dying" but hey, a mod can't do much about that can they :P. I am still staying here today because of the people on the team and to help make games fun when I'm online.
Favourite gamemode? SG MCZone version was pretty nice, but my most most favorite is either DTM or CTH.

BoldAndBrash May 29, 2016 at 1:05 AM UTC

WHY ALL STAFF ARE RACIST WITH THE SPANISH COMUNITY?
I only know of a few staff who were somewhat racist back when the 18+ chat was super lenient. If staff members are currently being racist, you can report them to admins or seniors. :>

My favorite food is probably tandoori chicken, or chicken in general. xP

Yes, they're great, I just don't like how they stick to your mouth.

DaFronzen tiene razón, no todos los miembros del staff son racistas, si hay alguno que tu creas racista trata de conseguir la evidencia para reportarlo.
