When are you most active? How many hours can you provide to CactusMC in a week?
Due to quarantine, I am most active everyday. I can provide 6 hours to 12 hours Monday-Sunday.
What server(s) are you the most active on? What is it about that particular gamemode that keeps you interested?
For now I am active on Lizard. When map 3 of camel releases I am going to be active on that map also. Same goes for skyblock; I am going to be active on skyblock when the new map starts. What draws me to these gamemodes is the teaming aspect (forming/joining factions and creating an island with friends) and the raiding, which is more specific to factions. Playing with others and planning raids to secure the number 1 spot is filled with a lot of excitement. It is always a fun and competitive map on each server.
Have you ever been banned on CactusMC? If so, why should this not affect your chances?
No I have never been banned on CactusMC.
How do you feel that you would make a contribution to CactusMC with the position you're applying for?
My contribution to CactusMC would be a positive one if I were to be accepted. I can be a very beneficial add on to the team as I am always around to help players in-game. I am also very active on the forums. I can make sure to enforce all the chat rules as a helper and warn the players who usually get away with some stuff when staff are offline. Even without any staff role, I am able to help and respond to players with more general questions.
Why should we choose you over any other applicant?
I have been playing CactusMC (previously known as breach) since 2016 and I know the community well. I am always on the server and would dedicate even more time on it just to help as many players as I can. I also have previous experience of being staff on this server which helped me learn how I can improve being staff over the years and learn about the mistakes that have always been repeatedly done by others. I get along with most of the staff which can create good communication between the team and I. I am also able to record if needed. But at the end of the day, I do not favor myself over others as everyone deserves an equal chance.
Name a mistake you made during your time here on CactusMC. How did you fix that mistake? What did you learn from it?
A mistake I have done on CactusMC was about a month ago when I told another player something which resulted in me getting warned for it. I talked to Netflix about it because it was just one of those moments where I said something out of anger and apologized to the player. This helped show me how being mean or toxic does not get anyone nowhere, it is wrong, and that it can just escalate the situation causing even more problems.
Tell us your previous server moderation experience, with proof if applicable. If you lack previous
experience, why should this not greatly affect your chances as a potential staff member?
I do not have much staff experience other than previously being a helper-mod on breach around 2018. I am also a trial mod on Puppy's server HexMC which is undergoing a revamp. It usually had about 10 players. I also got accepted to SpectralMC, but never really got to be an official staff as I changed my mind and denied the opportunity when I realized that I did not feel a click with the community on the server which would have just made the staffing experience unpleasant for me and not the best that it could have been. I can provide proof in discord dms if needed.
Tell us your greatest strengths. How would these help you during your time staffing, if accepted?
Honesty - I would add honesty as one of my greatest strengths that would aid me during my time staffing if I am to be accepted. Telling the truth no matter what can limit the severity of the situation and can help resolve issues way more faster instead of lying and spreading something that is not true. I will always try to inform the truth in any situation and not take the easy way out which is lying. Being able to distinguish lie and truth in something is a great deal and is needed to help with whatever is going on.
Time Management- Time management is essential for everyone to master. It helps me use my time wisely while getting everything done that I have on my agenda. How this can help me with staffing is finding time to spend on the server. I can use any additional time I have to assist the server and help as many people as I can. With time management, my personal life would not interfere with my playtime and I will be able to maintain an active role in the server without becoming inactivity.
Dedication/determination- I feel as if dedication is an important strength of mine that would be beneficial in many ways. If I am put to a task I would try my best to accomplish it and not give up. Also, with dedication, I can always find the best answer for players that need clarification or guidance in any way. I will also be determined to catch hackers or prove that someone is a hacker.
What about your greatest weaknesses? How do you get past them?
One of my greatest weaknesses is probably being "toxic." Ever since I returned to Cactus somewhere around April, my return has not been the best. I was not excessively toxic, but I was still somewhat rude to some players and saying unnecessary things in chat. Now recently I just refrain from saying negative comments or remarks I have in mind. In my opinion, I have been helpful recently especially in the forums. To get past my weakness, I started being more helpful to other players in forums as I am always commenting helpful suggestions and posting positive criticism to help others. Also, I am always answering any question I can whenever someone has a question in the in-game chat.
