I think you are a good candidate for the role but I am tired of seeing good people, who have busy real lives, step up to be continuously shot down due to the shortcomings out of their control. I care about this community and always will, but we have lost too many people due to Dinkleberg refusing to meet people at the 10% line or at times even the bare minimum. Dinkleberg has made a lot of money from Gmod servers over the years, the very least he could do is keep it updated enough so that it works. I want the good people to stay in the community which means keeping them away from staffing (especially the admin role), making sure that they remember it is a game and that their real life comes first (Super Milk Chan touched on this in his application, idk about Chellllman but I know Ryzif and Possum both have busy real lives), and that this "job" is completely volunteer and should not require constant watch.
Yes, I realize the server and community needs admins but they either need more power to actually fix problems or Dink needs to be more present. Until that happens where individuals in the admin role can have proper support or the power to back up what needs to be done, I am against anyone getting the admin role. With neither of those things, the admin role is just a slow death to whoever holds it in most scenarios.
Hay Fish I know you don't know me very well, and I am not disagreeing with you. I just wanted to let you know that the truth is, I have been a busy person since before I joined the community. Running your own business takes a lot out of you. I put this detail in my app to inform those who don't know me why I am not around 100% of the time. I don't expect you to change your mind; however, I think the members of this community who know me well can agree that I balance my real life with my online life in a very healthy way. This community has taken nothing from me and has only given back. A good example would be I had no clue how to programme, and I'm still not very good at it, but the challenges the staff team faced gave me a good opportunity to step up to the plate, and now I have a basic understanding. That's something I wanted my whole life but never got the time for. Instead of spending my free time just playing games and feeling sorry for myself, it's only because this community made that fun that I now have something that I have been looking for my whole life with people that I can now look up to.
I don't expect you to change your mind as your concern is a valid one, however I think it would be unfair to leave this un explained not everyone knows me in the same way others do.
Thanks for sticking around to keep a good eye on things Fishy :)
