Phoenix Rising's Application [DENIED]

[Clamps 4783]

10 hours ago, Gerald said:

To start off, I did a search on your Steam ID. The only community that I found evidence of any staffing was on one RP server, and in that one application, you were denied.

http://moonshade.net/index.php?topic=209.0

Then, I found a ban on you, for AutoHotKey. This is a permanently bannable offense, on our servers.

What confuses me the most, however, is your claim of over 2000 hours as a staff member for over 20 communities. Given that you are taking AP/IB classes "that usually people don't have the option to even get to, as well as performing at the top of [your] class while taking courses that are easily college- level, and have been doing so since the 8th grade," you must have a decent amount of homework. I'll be fair, and I'll say that you actively played or participated, in some form, on the servers that you were staff for for an average of 35 hours per week. This would mean have to be done for a total of 57 weeks, and I doubt that was consistent, especially if your age is taken into account.

You gave no parameters for your experience; you gave no examples of communities that you staffed for. You're bullshitting the amount of hours that you did staff-related work for. Simply being counted as a staff member does not mean your time spent was relevant or useful. The only way I could see your time claim as being valid is if you actively developed for those communities, taking the role of a software engineer. Is that a possibility? Sure. Is it likely? No.

How have you held positions in over 20 different communities? Do you just hop from community to community, or are you some sort of gaming wunderkind? Spreading yourself that thin gives the impression that you were not that important, in most of those groups.

Also, for someone whose personality "revolves around logic and perception," you certainly did not take the time to spellcheck very simple words, such as "rediculously," "compationate," "excersize." For someone so "smart," you sure type like a fucking idiot.
 

 

I made it through 3 pages of this chat before I started twitching.. http://sg.gameme.com/player_histories/chat/873866

 

(when we ask for a link to your gameme, we mean on sGs..).

 

So along with everything Gerald stated in here, big ole fat no from me.

[Moose 4890]

Here's why I'm going to vote no... Your entire application turns me away from you. You're 15, yet you have literally thousands of hours of game play, and somehow manage time to "staff" all of these communities. I can only think of two reasons this would be: you lie, or your definition of staffing is very different from ours. I lean towards the first, as the information Gerald found, showed you saying you were 15 last year, and 15 this year (and your birthday on our forums say you should have been 14 in that app).. Now birthdays aren't a big deal, but then you go on to say you had 3000 hours of staffing THEN, and now you post that you've had 2000 hours, so again either here or there, or both, you're lying. Then there's this: 

17 hours ago, Marine Putin said:

I am humble when I'm not joking, and am in no way conceited.

To which, throughout your entire application, you tell us how smart you are, taking AP/college courses, etc. all while somehow maintaining your top of the class grades, and playing thousands of hours of video games, in your very young life. Now, I can believe it to an extent, high school isn't hard, even AP courses aren't that tough. I slept through most of high school, still passed with good enough grades to get into a good college. The problem I have is these inconsistencies I keep seeing all over the place. Sure, the internet is a place where you can be whoever you want to be. But I'd rather you just be yourself, than a compulsive liar, trying to impress people who frankly don't care. This isn't some sort of application to staff, we let retards in all of the time (even in staff ;)). 

 

Anyways, my vote isn't a strict no throughout the month. Take the time to prove to people on the forums you are who you say you are, or man up and fess up. It could do wonders for your application. I do appreciate you acknowledging that people tend to band wagon, and I personally have not played with you, so you could get upset and feel that I'm just another band wagoner. But you also didn't take the time to get to know any of the rest of us, outside of MG really. I play on JB, and War3 A LOT. I'm almost constantly on TS,  and you applied at 25 posts, meaning you had little-to-no forum presence. So what I do have to base my vote off of, I'm skeptical, and not too impressed.

PS: To other members, please stop shitting on the vote count so early in the month  it's not that hard. I believe I got everyone's vote IN the voting string, since people (CHANG) like to post their vote, and not add their name. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone.
