Senior Promotion AMA by BoldAndBrash August 8, 2017 at 5:08 AM UTC

Contrary to LFT's thread, the newest senior is technically me. ;) Anyways, I'm a little late, but may as well do one anyways, right? Ask me anything!

How does it feel to be the last one in the trend of AMAs? ;P

What are you most excited about in regards to joining the Senior staff team?

Who's your favourite Admin and why is it me? Ok no, I'll just ask for your opinion on me instead.

Looking forwards to working with you!

A few years back. we were actually good friends and I remember playing a lot with you, and so much to the point where you even taught me some good rushing tips. I went from getting about 1-2 monuments a day to 14-21 whenever I played with you, and it was some of the most fun I had back then. I believe the last time we really had some kind of friendship was before you were promoted to junior, and I called you an elf since you'd always be sending in/calling me on to deal with rulebreakers. Nowadays, I sort of get the feeling you don't like talking to me anymore which kind of bums me out, but I'm alright with it I guess. You've gotten a bit more toxic throughout the months, but it's kind of died down now I think. I also really like how you're able to complete maps that would take me months to build in 1 day, haha.

tbh, I don't really "build maps in a day". I just build the shell of a map and post it on the forums for players to give opinions and make improvements based on those feedback. xd

Seems to have been very short lived, already like 3 new AMAs released after mine. :( Felt good while it lasted!!

What are you most excited about in regards to joining the Senior staff team?
The thing I care most about as a senior is probably the staff team overall; I really look forward to being able to give in depth comments on applications like I did a few years back as a newer moderator.

Well first things first, Pie was right about you being lovable; I don't think anyone on the network has a reason to personally dislike you, lol. I'm really happy that I'll be working with you to improve the staff team, and I think you'll do amazing as an admin!

Looking forwards to working with you!

I've always seen you as a good moderator in the past, and I even advocated for you to be promoted to junior a while back.

Well, I believe the staff team is a lot more organized now than it was back then. The server was bigger back then, and there wasn't much of a hacker issue so whenever there weren't staff on it wasn't too big of a deal. Believe it or not, I actually don't remember much else from my time as a junior. :/

Turtles?

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (or Chelonii[3]) characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield.[4] "Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).[5]

Turtles
Temporal range:
Late Jurassic – Present,[1] 157–0 Ma
Chelonia mydas is going for the air.jpg
Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)
Scientific classificatione
Kingdom:Animalia
Phylum:Chordata
Class:Reptilia
Clade:Testudinata
Order:Testudines
Batsch, 1788 [2]
Subgroups[1]

Cryptodira
Pleurodira
Meiolaniidae
and see text

Diversity
14 extant families with ca. 300 species
World.distribution.testudines.1.png
blue: sea turtles, black: land turtles

The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known members of this group date from 157 million years ago,[1]making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than snakes or crocodilians. Of the 327 known species alive today, some are highly endangered.[6][7]


BoldAndBrash August 8, 2017 at 8:08 PM UTC

Why did you decide to become a Mod?
At the time, staff applications were some of the biggest hype fests around. I wanted to join in, because I thought it'd be fun and the idea of moderating a server I had played on for so long and grown to love came as an amazing idea. It took me three applications and two interviews to pass, and I''m still here to this day, mainly because I want to stick with the network for as long as I can.

Did you ever think of working/trying for Senior Mod before your promotion?
Yes, I did. I worked harder about a year and a half ago than I did now, and Rese and I both sort of gave each feedback and hoped each other would become senior. I sort of stopped trying after a while, since it seemed like seniors would always be promoted as soon as I went on leave or didn't have the time to do as much work lol.
How did you feel when you got promoted?
Pretty happy, but considering it was near midnight for me I was a little tired.

I'll mainly be focusing on improving our current staff team.

I hardly really know you to be honest, and most of what I remember is from when you were sheamus4414, and you were mostly just a dude I saw around a lot who'd throw out some immature comments here and there. I didn't see anythig spectacular from you as a senior or mod except for your positive attitude, which most staff should have anyways. The whole "memes" gimmick is really annoying and cringeworthy in my opinion, but that's just me, I guess. As an Admin, I think since most of the community likes you you have the potential to help the server if you work hard.

BoldAndBrash August 9, 2017 at 7:08 PM UTC

Opinions?
A few months back where you did the whole "staying up super late to moderate" (hey, that rhymes!) thing, I found it a little scary that you were sacrificing so many hours of sleep for Minecraft. I've also noticed you've changed a lot whole from when you were mod a few months back, and I personally strongly dislike that. It began to look like you were trying to change a mass of things that made you you just to get a promotion. I personally like the old shadowolf a bit more than now, although you have your moments where your former self shines through the clouds. I also find the "meme" gimmick of you and Cammy a little cringeworthy, but I think that's just me. Other than that, you're a moderator that stands out to me and I would definitely support you "loosening-up" a little. Sorry if this was a bit blunt. :>

I liked you better around the time when you and Porky played and you were a moderator. You're a little annoying now, and it looks kind of sad when you randomly start talking about your workouts/girls in the Discord, sorry lol. I don't think we were ever friends, but I liked talking to you back then and I tend to enjoy your debates in politics, since they're usually a lot better than the others' I argue against.

Advertising that doesn't consist of "we found a youtuber with a WHOLE 1,000 subscribers!" and absolutely nothing after. Encourage voting rewards, advertise tournaments on things like PlanetMC, not Instagram.
