This explanation might seem vague, but i'll be going into more details later in the application, trust me.

[b]What do you think it takes to be a good Moderator?[/b]
It takes a lot of things to be a good moderator, the one I think being most important is common sense, 'cause you can't just go around and be like "hurr durr... I dont know what this is so ill try using it", since the results from this could be devastating to the server. Other things that good moderators need is maturity when needed, responsibility, problem-solving skills, and overall a deep understanding of how things work.

[b]Have you played at least 80 hours?[/b]
Well... on the new map, no, but overall, i've probably played for something like 200-500 hours on Darkspin, which is not very surprising considering I joined in October of 2012.

[b]Tell us a little bit about yourself, your gameplay and what you think of the server.[/b]
Ahhh, now HERE'S the bulk of the app. A little about me is that I generally enjoy building things in MC, and I generally like a lot of Sonic games (though I could never get my hands on Sonic 3 and Knuckles :( ), plus some Mario from time to time. As for my gameplay on Darkspin, I've been around since 2012, though was absent for almost the past year. The very first person I ever knew on DS was fairy_twinkles (old players might remember her), and we both had a house very close to the Obsidia spawn, though it got griefed a lot. I also lived in my cousin's (dark_assassin85) town, I forget the name though. I could go on and on, but that's basically my first experiences with Darkspin. Now, I've had very mixed feelings about Darkspin over the years, most recently being hopeful as the server could rebuild itself back to what it WAS. However, before that, I mainly felt disappointed and unhopeful that the server could ever possibly make a comeback from THAT state. But, Haden worked with Bino and d4rkspin to restore the server :D

[b]Anything we should know about?[/b]
I have past experience with being a moderator, but not on Darkspin... I was moderator for another server before it went down due to lack of players, so i'm decently familiarized with the commands I need to know.

[b]Have 3 admins confirmed they trust you?[/b]
I'm going to make the assumption that I can skip this question. If I can't, let me know, but i'm pretty sure Darkspin doesn't even HAVE 3 admins right now.

[b]If you are confirmed, do you swear not to use your powers for stupid/irresponsible/revenge purposes?[/b]
I swear that I won't abuse my powers.

Do you agree to the fact that if you are inactive for a month, your Moderator rank will be revoked?
I do agree, can't see why I would be inactive for that long anyways.]]> I want to be a moderator because I want to help people on the server, and explain things to them that they might not understand.

I've been playing mine craft for just over a year now.

How much time do you dedicate to Minecraft?

Quite a bit, my free time is spent on this server.

Do you meet the playtime requirement of 20 hours?

I have over 20 hours played on the server.

How much of that time is for building rather than survival?

some of my builds are done in survival, makes me feel better when i do them but if i start something i finish it.

You need to know the commands for mod, you have to have patience with players on server, and know most of the players (especially Henry!).

Most importantly you can't just apply for mod because you get to do /kick, /tempban etc. and have fun with it. You have to be mature about it and not to brag about it. You can't threaten people you don't like and say you will /kick or /tempban him/her.

Well I'm on always during the weekend and during the week the only reason I wouldn't be on is because of A. and B., A. is because of being grounded, and B. is if I have a ton of homework. I also do Tae kwon do (its martial arts:P) so I wouldn't be on DarkSpin only if I'm at a tournament, testing for a belt, and at Tae kwon do (I go to Tae kwon do on Tue.

Why do you want to be a Moderator on Darkspin?
Since I'm one of the more active people on the server(I'm usually on 4-5 Days a week)
I would like to settle the conflicts on the server (I know that doesnt mean banning someone instantly).
There is only one active Mod I think there needs to be more

What do you think it takes to be a good Moderator?
Be polite to people and helpful. You also need to do things when people want to thats a Moderators job. Also you need to be mature (most of the time).

Have you played at least 80 hours on the Darkspin Minecraft server?
I believe so... I'm on alot

Tell us a little about yourself, your gameplay, and what you think of the server.
I really enjoy this server its actually one of the only ones I play on. Mostly on the server I do work arround the town or for my self. Sometimes I help other people like mikeluigi64 and SShunter18. I am nice most of the time.

Is there anything we need to know about regarding your online schedule or lack thereof?
Unless I'm in trouble or doing school stuff (Geometry ugghhh) I will be online. If I know in advance when I'm not going to be online i will tell someone asap

Well, I gave it a shot

What do you think it takes to be a good Mayor?
I think what it takes to become mayor is that you help the people in your town and be polite to your citizens you also have to be fair.

Will you ever think of abandoning your town?
No, because if you've gone that far you shouldn't leave also because they would do whatever they wanted to do in the town if i was gone.

Do you have the patience to deal with citizens?
Yes, I will be patient with my citizens.

Do you know how to spend/save money properly?
Yes I do my dad tells my siblings to save their money as well with me so yes I can save money.

And finally, will you treat citizens with respect?
Yes, thats because if your mean to them most likely they will be mean to you but if you treat them with respect they will treat you with respect so yes I will treat my citizens with respect.

I am homeschooled so I get a lot of time on the computer. I often spend 4-6 hours a day playing Minecraft. I think I can come on daily, but I might have things to do (or, embarrassingly enough, be grounded).
[b]

A LOT! 3/5 of the time, I'm actively building. The other part is mostly gathering resources FOR building. Sometimes, I play on Super Craft Bros or other mini games. I also have some other activities (by that, I mean testing updates and just plain goofing)

[b]This application requires at least two examples of your work.[/b]

I have uploaded some screenshots of some of my work from this server and a couple of shots of other work to a blog. Check them out here!

Taking things seriously when they need to be taken seriously, as well as being responsible with things I'm given and helping players in any way possible if they need help. When we were moving the map border in, I stayed up with Geekboy after dawn in our timezones to look on the Dynmap for any possible locations that needed to be moved and photoshopped together a map of what the old border vs new border would look like.

Yes, over 100 hours now.

[b]Tell us a little about yourself, your gameplay, and what you think of the server.[/b]
I build a lot of things when I play and I'm okay with redstone. Right now, I'm working on this water slide for cows that makes it so I have steaks for days to come as well as a few other farms and sooper sekrit doors. I played Minecraft for Xbox 360 a lot so I know a lot of stuff from that. Started getting into it more for the PC. I'm liking your server so far too, it's cool.

[b]Is there anything we need to know about regarding your online schedule or lack thereof?[/b]
Not really no, I'm usually on at reasonable times.]]> I'm willing to lend a hand to help, and because Henry asked me to.

[b]What do you think it takes to be a good Moderator?[/b]
A good moderator needs patience, understanding, and experience. Some people apply for admin or mod right away thinking "oh wow, this is great, now I get great perks!". This isn't what being an admin or a mod is about and I've seen too many people apply for that purpose only. You need to understand that when Spiderman's dead uncle said "with great power comes great responsibility", he wasn't joking. One thing that mods aren't warned about is that not everyone may agree with you. They might harass you for being a mod, judging every move you make and trying to use your words against you if they consider you their enemy. Maybe it's difference of opinion, maybe they're in the wrong, maybe you are, but the fact is, they'll go after you and they'll do a lot to shut you down if they can.

With that said, you need to be willing to help these enemies if they need your help and if this call for help is meant to be answered. You need to accept that you cannot please everyone, but if you manage to fix what is meant to be fixed no matter who's involved, then you are the better person in the end because you've contributed to the cause you were meant to contribute to. You need to be ready to act when you're required to act. You need to be on your toes when suspicious activity happens so that if it goes in a direction you do not want it to go, you're there and you can fix it. Most of all, you need to not take everything seriously. People are going to bug you and tire you out sometimes, but that's all part of the job. There's good things too when you're a mod, that's probably why you applied for it in the first place. Learn how to have a good time, be patient, be understanding, and people are gonna have a good time with you.

[b]Have you played at least 80 hours?[/b]
4 days, 7 hours, 7 minutes total. 4 days = 96 minutes. I think I'm good to go on that note.

[b]Tell us a little bit about yourself, your gameplay and what you think of the server.[/b]
Once upon a time, there was a Medic on a TF2 server from the Darkspin community who had just finished competing in UGC's Summer League. Somewhere else on Darkspin's TF2 server, a Soldier roamed with that Medic, questioning via a voice-chat whether or not the Darkspin team's Sniper was any good or not during the final Badwater match. And I said, "I believe it was a ringer." This is entirely relevant because this Soldier was Green_Ed, the Medic was me, and without Green and I setting up Minecraft servers through Hamachi and failing, we would not be playing on Darkspin's Minecraft server because Green was like "hey, I know a place" and here we are.

I'm a person who likes games that have the option to expand on a personal level. By this, I mean anything with creativity options like Minecraft, Terraria, TF2, Soul Calibur, and dress-up games. If I can't mine for diamonds without dying or I realize my aggro Scout is just too aggro, I'm just gonna spend time seeing what I can build with whatever wool I have or customize whatever hat looks good on my Medic. I'm very fond of building things - maybe not entirely from an architectural perspective, but even if it looks cool or its purpose comes off as cool. DS appealed to me because it was Minecraft with a lot more to offer, be it with people, plugins, or possibilities.

[b]Anything we should know about?[/b]
I'm observant and I memorize names and physical things fairly well if I come across them. In the first week of being on DS' server, I noted a username being banned for griefing for 3 days. There was a snafu with the username, which is why I remembered it. 3 days later, the guy comes back, and I immediately recognize his name. I'm the one trying to ask people to get a mod to come online since I don't have any added, but the damage is done and he leaves again with a second offense of griefing. (Blackops1560 is the griefer name.) A mod who will be left unnamed comes on, rebans for 1 day even after the report I give, tells me to shut up when I voice my opinion on how the guy sould be permabanned, and leaves with no intention to try and repair creative. It's then that me, Bluevertro, Green_Ed, and Jawa attempt to fix what was damaged. For those I couldn't fix and for those that were griefed in the first place, I marked each plot with three redstone to explain later to an OP the exact damages.

Also, I come from a TF2 Jailbreak server with approximately 7-8 months of admin experience, a majority of that being full root admin from the owner's trust and being one of the owner's Top 3 Favourites. For anybody who's played it on CSS or TF2, admining Jailbreak requires making sure people follow very concise rules, watching people closely if they're acting suspicious, and making sure nobody gets too bored. I also recognize new players right away, I know regular players enough, I've gained instinct in which I can feel a rule being broken, and I can read fellow admins' admining style based on their kicks, based on what plugins they use, and based on how much they actually act out when there's multiple admins online versus how much they sit back and relax.

90%. In both Minecraft and Terraria, I get yelled at by teammates for not doing anything like spelunking, excavating, or fighting bad guys - and then they stop for a few seconds and then tell me what a great job I've done with the house/the garden/whatever.
