Staff Knowledge Section
What previous experience so you have as a staff member either within Garry’s Mod or the Nutscript Gamemode?
I have previous experience as a staff member on different games including Garry's Mod. On the Nutscript Gamemode I was a Senior Moderator for about half a year on Prometheus Networks which was one of my first ever tenures in staffing on Garry's Mod. Prior to joining the staff team for Prometheus I was also a Moderator and Owner of a few (now dead) SCP Secret Laboratory servers such as Serpent SCP and Larry's Basement.
Why do you believe we should pick you for the Prometheus Networks Staff Team?[300 words or more]:
Many people come to the forums and apply to become a Moderator for Prometheus. The reason I should be accepted out of all of these people is because I have the experience. My first tenure as a Moderator for Prometheus last year taught me the important aspects and the tools to being a Moderator. About a few months back I had chosen to leave the staff team because I simply had no time to staff. As I was still in school, my schedule was extremely tight which prompted me to stop LARPing and ultimately forget about the game. Recently this month I had gotten back into LARPing on Prometheus and I gained interest into the community again.
During my tenure as a Moderator on Prometheus I met many people and I became friends with many fellow staff members. I gained a liking to helping out people in any capacity I could and I continue to help out others as much as I am able to even if I'm not a staff member. As a LARPer you learn to manage your time wisely and allocate enough time to LARP as well as to fit in enough time for other day to day hobby's. Being able to manage your time wisely is important to be able to do when moderating on a server. Being in the middle of summertime, I have a lot of unused free time that I could use to help out people in the community while being able to also fit in enough time to fulfil other hobby's. The free time I have would allow me to be able to help around the community taking tickets, and making sure roleplay isn't interrupted by RDM'ers and minges who constantly pop up in the server. These kinds of people interrupt the flow of RP and it is important that staff members have enough time to make sure members of the community can have a smooth experience on Prometheus without interruption. My tenure as a former staff member on Prometheus taught me the importance of time management and I've learned how to use it efficiently for moderating and LARPing.
Time management is an important factor to being a staff member however I also believe that being able to work with a large scale team is also important. Team work allows staff members to do their job efficiently without any interruption. Back when I staffed for Prometheus, the importance of shift taking existed. While other staff members we're in RP, others worked together to sweep the incoming tickets that came in and made sure that everyone was receiving help as fast as possible. These shifts would rotate among us and it made the process of taking tickets more efficient. Taking shifts was an important part of working with the team of moderators because we we're able to coordinate and make sure that everyone had the chance to LARP while being a staff member. My tenure on the staff team taught me the importance of teamwork and I believe this would make me a great candidate for the staff team.
Lastly I believe I should be chosen for the Staff Team because I am able to keep my composure. No matter how frustrating it may be its important that staff members stay respectful and don't abuse their power over an argument that takes place in a sit. Staff Members represent the community as they are the ones who shape and make sure LARPers can LARP without being interrupted. Without them a community can gain a terrible image and it is simply important that they are capable of handling sits and talking to people without loosing their composure.
I believe these reasons make me a great candidate for the staff team. Being able to give a hand to the community while having such power of a staff member is a great responsibility which requires upmost trust from the staff member. If given the chance to be a staff member again, I would never break that trust with the fellow staff members and the Upper Administration.
What are the duties and responsibilities of the position you are applying for in your own words? [150 Words or more]:
The position I am applying for contains many important duties and responsibilities. Moderators are the backbone for our community, they ensure that the community receives help and attention when needed while the Upper Administration preforms important tasks that improve the flow of Roleplay. The duties of a Moderator are to respond to tickets, answer questions that people have, execute PK's, and give a reasonable punishment's to those who break the rules. A moderator needs to be ready for everything that comes at them which is why they need to be fast at making decisions. As I mentioned prior, Moderators should be able to manage their time efficiently, work with the team of staff members when prompted, and provide help without loosing their composure. Moderators provide support to the community and we are one of the first people on the team that members of the community meet. We have to represent our team professionally, Lashing out at people for moronic behavior in staff sits may cause others to look at us as poorly managed and can cause people to leave the server. Moderators have one of the most important jobs on the server and with those important responsibilities, needs someone who can perform their duties as professionally as possible while staying respectful.
