What makes you a good admin?: I've previously had a lot of experience with moderating servers, particularly Deathrun. I joined the Call of Duty 4 PC playing field around March 2013 so I've had well over a years experience. I was a initially playing Blur for several months until West, Luke and Sox took over, at this point they asked me if I would like to become a moderator on their Deathrun server; of course I accepted. After a few months of moderating with Blur I was offered a promotion to Server Administrator, this was the same as the Moderator rank but with more power; 55pp for mod, 80/100pp for admin. This allowed me to do a lot of commands with the exception of rcon and a couple of commands. On another note for the Blur side, I was an extremely active member and managed to accumilate around 700hours played by the end of it. I plan to keep this the same for Raid.
Not only have I been active on the servers, I'm pretty active on the site as well. This is my 200th post so I wanted to do something special, alas, here's an application! I've been informed that I occasionally take a joke to far but I'm learning, getting better at judging people's resistance by the day :dumb:. I like to get involved in interesting discussions when possible and I have a few topic ideas myself that I will put to use in the near future. I am currently in my exam period for GCSEs but I only have 8 exams left and finish school completely on the 14th of June, so after that, I'm all yours! ;) I should be able to still play a fair amount up to that date as I have many days off when I don't have exam.
After Blur died I decided to wait a month or so before applying to IceOps, a very short process, was accepted within a couple of days as a trial. I had a few weeks of playing their servers until my exam period came along, I became extremely inactive on their servers simply because I didn't have the time to play. I'd made a decision to focus on revision and school work since these exams are fairly important. As I'm sure you know, IceOps and I had a bit of a fall-out which lead to my intentional demotion. Which I admit now was a stupid, pathetic thing to do but heyho, it happened. Apologies to any IceOps members who got caught in the crossfire. Anyways, derailed a bit there! All in all, I've had well over 6 months moderating/admin experience and for the most part, people say I've managed to a pretty good job.
Onto non experience related things; I would say I'm a very active player on your servers. Having only been properly playing Raid for a month or so I have over 60 hours played on the Deathrun server alone. I'm not entirely sure about how many hours I have on CodJumper or Combined Operations but I'd like to think it all adds up to nearly 100 hours. I'm very chatty in-game and like to get involved with a good convocation! There are many people I have become friends with within the Raid community and I'm hoping to continue making even more.
What skills do you have?: Well, I'm not sure if you can count my mapping as a 'skill' :dumb: But I do know a fair amount of gsc and I know my way around CoD4 Radiant! I've yet to decide whether I will make another map for Deathrun, we'll see! Along side the mapping, I'm currently working on improving my Python skills. I'm still in the very early stages of learning the basics but since next year I'll be taking on a full blown Computer Science course at college/sixth form I can expect to improve upon my skills significantly. Not entirely sure if it's a considered a skill, but knowing what to do in a poor situation. I used to have a job working with mentally disabled 5-7 year olds by keeping them entertained and happy for a day, as you can imagine this is a difficult job. There were many, many situations where I thought "Oh shit! What am I going to do to sort this out?!" but everytime I managed to sort something out. As I'm sure you know, working with people in the Deathrun community isn't all that different to working with 5-7 year olds :troll: Although this isn't too relevant, I'd say I'm pretty academic. Currently sitting my GCSEs and I'm predicted all A*/A and a couple of Bs. Future plans in college include Maths, Physics, Computer Science and English.
What clans/communities/forums have you been at?: Blur, IceOps.
Why should we choose you?: As I've said before, I'm very experienced with Call of Duty 4. I like to think I know what to do in a difficult situation to solve whatever problem I may face as I have done in the past with Blur. Although I may have let IceOps down I feel like I can redeem myself and prove to you that I can, in fact, be a good admin. I'm friendly on the server and abide to the rules, however I admin I do have 'off-days', but in that situation I try to avoid contact with life :dave: I may only be 16 years old but I'm pretty mature for my age. Besides, if you ever need a hitman for Gabe then I'm your man, I'll catch him as he's walking to school :troll:. In all seriousness, I was planning on waiting until summer to make this post but since I'm only 8 exams away I thought I may as well do it now - as a celebration of 200 posts! Pretty sure I've said everything I need to in the earlier paragraphs and now I'm just repeating myself; I'll stop here :okay:.
Sorry for this becoming such an essay, I guess I got a bit carried away! If you've managed to stick with me all the way through then congratulations! Have a cookie c: If this is a little too long just say and I'll provide some tl;dr summaries for each section :3 1138 words isn't too bad eh?
