BIIG_SAD STEAM_0:0:154149659
Time Played:
161.51 hours as of 12/12; 6:31 AM
When First Joined:
a while back for a couple minutes, really picked it up around august(?) or september(?)
Availability (Approx. times you play, and time zone):
around 11 ish to 3-5 ish am EST, about 5 times a week.
Rank Desired:
At this current stage, the rank I am applying for is trusted.
Current Rank:
Currently, I am a Donor who is also a regular, listed ingame as 1 week, 1 day or so, gametracker'd at 160 ish hours.
What can you do to help the community?: Why should we promote you? What can you bring to the server?
I can do many things for the server, from being active at hours that other staff may not be available (I work a closing shift job). Also, I can bring a level head to the server in terms of calls such as evidence review. I take a matter-of-fact approach to evidence review. Finally, I bring a love for the whole community. I have played on every single server, and I can say confidently that I want this server to continue. It is just a great place to be. In terms of why, I adress this in the other: section.
Why do you want to help the community?:
The people motivate me. The previous server I was on died due to lack of new members and lack of consistent and good core members donating and giving back. I came here, and discovered a community that was so awesome, that I simply had to stick around and make it stay around.
Have you previously been banned?
I have never been banned across any of the Dinkleberg servers, and have a clean VAC/gameban record
Have you previously applied for staff? (Link relevant posts): here
Do you have a way to record video or take screenshots?
I use Nvidia shadowplay (set at capture 5 minute) as well as (now) always recording when hopping on TTT and PH.
How did you find us?: Why or how did you end up picking our server out of the many others?
Like I said in my previous post, I found you all a long while ago, then left and came back. I came back, and wanted to give, so I donated. Then I wanted to help more, and applied for staff. The main thing that drew me here was the people. So many nice people were here who didn't immediately call me slurs for my voice (it sounds slightly effeminate over the mic).
Other:
Feel free to add in any extra information here such as past staffing experience. If there is anything else that might be of interest to those viewing your application, please add it in here as well.
To adress some previous concerns from my last application, lets go over them.
These are six points that Zom13ae brought up in my last application that I thought best summed up problems that I had at that time.
1. Time on server.
I now have 161 or more hours by the time you will read this. This is only my PH server time. I have since branched out into TTT to look at how others in the Dinkleverse live. Suffice to say, this has been a good experience for me. In terms of timer/month, realize that this is about +60 hours of play time over about 30 days, which equates to an average of 2 hours a day, every day of the week.
2. getting defensive over trolls.
After spending some time in TTT land with all the random silliness of TTT, I have since learned to let small things go. Obviously, soundboards and earrape micspam are a no. If anything, my past couple of ban requests should be an indication of this. I was not going to leave certain reports undocumented until certain people did certain things that merited a report.
3. Backseat staffing.
I know this is something a lot of us donors struggle with. Since the last time I did the process, I have learned to let the staff handle things when they are here, and to simply just record and play, so that the staff can have evidence as needed. Also pinging staff is a must.
4. awareness.
As some of my recent ban requests show, I am improving on that awareness. I have caught multiple teams of ghosters and gotten them banned with evidence. Also spotted them too.
5.Jumping the gun:
I would say that now with me recording when starting to play in conjunction with point 2, I am gathering enough evidence.
6. being a fresh face and knowing nobody:
I have since dove into the forums. I have crossed the servers to find more people to play with. I read/caught myself up to date with most things that happened in announcements this year.
--> in light of recent events with certain issues, I will adress them.
----> to the todoroki situation, I did not know the best way to deal with someone directly threatening me in that manner, and I guess that I felt that I did not have the power/agency to correctly adress that situation. I took a short break after that, then came back when I was ready.
----> to the whole bum bum fiasco ongoing, I would adress this by pointing out that as of 12/12, I have 0 donor abuse threads, and 0 feedback/critique that I have abused my donor priviledges.
----> my first application: I read and responded to (almost) every reply. I have since taken those responses to heart, and attempted to emulate the solutions when I play. I am not perfection, but I try to always bring my A game.
In response to people who may say "hurr durr, another speedrun any%, hurr hurr durr durr" and "burnout imminent, BIIG_SAD VACation when?" I counter with that I know when to take breaks from games. I will cycle between games if I am not feeling it. If I am not feeling it, I wont play PH. I do not play PH every day (especially not recently).
Conclusion:
I look forwards to hearing from you all. I want to hear everything be it positive, neutral, or negative you have to say about me. I am always open to criticism, critiques, and advice. No person is a perfect robot that can flawlessly do every task to perfection every single time without any inputs.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this massive blob of text, and as always

Incepimus, Nunc et semper.
This means that "we begin, now and forever", and translates as "always we begin again"
What this actually means is that we should always strive to better ourselves, because tomorrow is a new day.
I hope you take it to heart. Remember, an improvement, no matter how small, is improvement.
