WeArePants


First of all, let me say that this will probably get denied, but I just ate a brownie so I'm feeling pretty good.

Hello, you probably all know me as WeArePants. (I'm thinking of changing my name to something more... idk lol) I'm 15 years old, a total nerd, and pretty cool (that's what my mom tells me) I'm an amby on Creative, but as you all know, Creative is pretty dead. I want to have a better position on this server as I am pretty sure that I can handle it. I'm applying for the ambassador position on the Survival server.
Now, I know that there are lots of ambassadors on Survival, and I know that, but I think that we can use all the help we can get. I have a sense of humor (I wear those cool socks that have the individual toes. I know.) I can be mature if necessary. I have lots of fun on this server and I think that the position of ambassador will serve me well as it isn't that much of a commitment.
I have pretty good grades, and school always comes first in my book. I want to maintain these grades, so I won't be involved in the server that much. However, I'm on on the weekends pretty much the whole day. My school goes the whole morning as I wake up pretty much 3 minutes before I have to leave for school until about 6:00 EST. Weekends are free, like I said. I think that my history on this server has been shaky, but I'm willing to put that dumb behind me.
Overally, I think that I would be a good choice for the ambassador positions. Leave any feedback below, and tell me anything, I swear I won't get mad this time. Hoki =D

so I won't be involved in the server that much.

You want a better position because you can handle it... okay...
Don't even need to mention maturity. It isn't something you for you decide, it's a subjective trait.
I bet lots of people don't think ambassador is a commitment when I'm running every chat even when I don't want to be on the damn server.
Saying you won't be involved is just about the most simple way to get an application denied.

That no commitment thing really pissed me off.

Let's flip a coin.
Heads, we make you wait.
Tails, we make you wait.
And if it lands on it's edge, I'll ban dragonshear and Skyler. (and you still get to wait)

Basically, I think that, even though you show you can handle the job on creative, it would probably be best to wait a little while before taking on the job, seeing as how survival has....about 100xs more people in it than creative does. <_<

You seemed you have gotten a little better in the face of trolls (Read: Dragonshear and Jip) but I'm still not sure you can handle them that well yet.

Look, I really screwed up via not reading through this again.

If you would change this in your mind:

"I can be mature if necessary"
change that to
"I can be mature when need be"
basically it means that I can be humorous some of the time, but if I have to be mature about things, I can be.

About the commitment, I also meant to mean it as more;
I can be on and doing my business and also moderating the chat whilst still playing, I didn't mean it like you interpreted it at all, and if that offended you, which it obviously did, I am sorry.

That last one, you kind of twisted my words around. I gave an explanation of when I can be on and when I can't. I didn't mean that I wouldn't be involved in the server, as I already am, I meant that I won't have as much IGT as I normally would as I am in a writing club afterschool for three hours.

Like I said, I am a major dinkus for not reading through this, and I feel ashamed at this inadequate behavior.

EDIT: Reply to Mega's comments

I get what you mean, but I think that I have waited the amount of time necessary.

So far, this app isn't going so well, but I think that it isn't as much of an app as more of a test to see where I can improve.
Let me just suggest not rating how your app is going, or placing doubt at the very beginning. Be confident in your skill set

It was basically just an introduction to explain why I posted the app. I honestly don't expect to get this position, even though I really do want it, so I think that this is just a sort of... pre-app? To see what I can improve on in the future. :]
I have to agree that your lack of commitment is a pretty big negative, and you seem to have very little spare time to spend on the server. Just playing weekends isn't that helpful. You need to keep in mind that there's a huge leap between the creative server and survival server. Although it might not have been much work on the creative server, handling chat with over 100 people online isn't easy.

I think you've underestimated the amount of time and commitment it takes to handle a larger server, but this isn't a bad app so don't be too discouraged. Next time don't add weird comments in brackets :). Also if you plan on creating a new app update this one.

Im Not Gunna troll on this one.
Honestly, In some ways you would be a good ambassasdor.
However, Your lack of commitment does counteract it and as wooney stated, Your rarely on, And a minimun is 1 Hour every day {I think it still is, Dunt Know}
Note this, Ok Maybe a little troll< It is like a saunahere
Like I said before, I understand the responsibility. I was simply saying that I would not be on AS MUCH in the month of November... I already asked for you to change the lack of commitment thing to something else. I didn't mean what it sounded like I said. I meant something totally different. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
I haven't really seen you on often but i can't just assume that you're not on most of the time because we may be online at different timings. Although, i think 'pre-apps' make people feel that you are wasting their time when you haven't even collected enough confidence in yourself yet and start thinking negative about the outcome even from the start. You shouldn't post an app just because you feel like it but instead, when you are ready and set, when you have thought things through. I think in the position of an Ambassador, your thinking and act of mind would be too rash and therefore some things may have the wrong outcome due to immediate decisions that were not properly thought through. It also seems that you would be nice and kind and/or be mean and/or help or not help when you feel like it, judging from how you posted this app because you felt like it. Though, i think you have changed your mindset a little from the comments after your application, therefore, i can tell that you really want the position and i think you may be fit for it but only in the time to come.

Have you not read the whole thing? I am trying to be mature about this and should not be subjected to being lazy. I'm not wasting anyone's time, so that comment was essentially pointless... "You shouldn't post an app just because you feel like it"? Are you kidding me? I posted the app because I wanted to see the criticism that I would get to improve. I knew that the app was going to get denied, I even said that in the start. Do you know what rash means? Rash means that I wouldn't be cautious... I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. On the next sentence I can't even tell what you're saying because it's a gargantuan run-on sentence and extremely hard to understand, so we'll ignore that one for now... Like I said before, and like even you said before, this application is just a test to see what I can improve upon, so I don't see why every single post on the app has told me to wait, even though that's exactly what I said I would do... is wait...

That whole "being rash" thing is stupid, because if I did something without thinking about it, I can easily just undo it...

I was an ambassador back when the Creative server had 20 people on it at a time. I have a small portion of training.

Also Templar_007 you shouldn't be going on to other people's apps speaking total jib-jab when your application recently got denied... just saying.
Hold on, no need to trash templar_007. This is a community website. He has a right to say what he feels like, even if its negative. Suggesting that you are better than somebody else who is trying to give his/her opinion is not what any staff member is looking for in a user. This example is exactly what other users are trying to tell you, you are acting immature.

Gargantuan run-on sentence.
You need to develop your skillset.
Take the advise/critics and improve those points.

And no you can't....

Bro, I'm not trashing anyone. I am simply stating that these comments were not the most constructive criticism there could be. I know that this is a community website! That is exactly why I am asking for constructive criticism! When did I ever suggest that I was "better" than somebody else? I never said that. Also, I have no idea how I'm acting immature if I honestly accepted all of the criticism I was given. Finally, no one has told me I'm being immature.

"No you can't"?
What I was asking for was constructive criticism. Constructive criticism is criticism that can help me improve. Saying "No" is a perfect example of destructive criticism.

Also Templar_007 you shouldn't be going on to other people's apps speaking total jib-jab when your application recently got denied... just saying.

Ok "bro", this is the immature part. You don't need to bring other people's business into your app. What happened with templar_007 has nothing to do with you! This is what makes me angry. And no, you are rejecting the criticism and coming back with excuses as to why you do what you do.

I'm not sure you understand... I'm defending myself against harsh comments such as me being "immature"... I was simply accepting his comments. I think that you're being the immature one here, as you are continuing the conversation on my application... No one's business was "brought into my app" but yours, because all of a sudden you are attempting to make me seem "immature". I have no idea how you're angry about simple things like these. I'm not rejecting anything! I'm literally accepting every point of what I asked for, which is constructive criticism. I will deny anything else, such as "You are being immature". Get off my app, and seriously stop trying to prove that I'm immature, which no one agrees with.

If you can't handle criticism where you have time to respond to it, such as a forum, i question your ability to be able to react to it online.

I do not believe that I have been mishandling any constructive criticism. I'm not looking for destructive criticism like, "You can't do that," or, "You are being immature," or, "Don't post an app, just because you feel like it." I'm looking for comments such as, "You should commit yourself to being on the server more." Read through all of the comments on the application, and give me two examples of both:
a. Immaturity
b. Not being able to handle constructive criticism.
Then tell me I can't handle any sort of criticism.

Constantly trying to prove you are mature proves otherwise.

I'm not trying to prove I'm mature, I'm trying to prove that I'm not immature. Trust me, falsely being accused of being immature is not fun. Especially when there is absolutely no reason for it.
You will not receive any "constructive" criticism from people who you have to deal with as a staff member.
Also no one cares what kind of criticism you want, you get what you receive, people have opinions of you, you need to listen to them.
