Cthuluune's Admin Application *DENIED*

[Cthuluune]

What server are you applying for: I'm applying for the Dark RP wire server.

Were you recommended by an admin? If so state the name: Well... Not exactly 'recommended', but I'm sure they'd let me know if I was a nuisance.

In game name: I go by Magic Man, Magic Hobo, Cthuluune, and a whole bunch of others.

Steam ID: # 39 "Cthuluune" STEAM_0:1:20915291

Do you have past admin experience: Yup. I don't have much experience controlling large crowds of people, but as you can see, I know how to use words.


Why you wish to be admin: Probably just one reason: I'm not going to give out any names (it wasn't exactly worth a ban, or really worth anything at all), but there's so many people on the server that really do need a good talk. Seriously. In other words, the server needs to buckle down on some of the more... 'special' players.


What are some good qualities you possess: I'm sorry I keep pushing this so much, but I can really use my words to my advantage. I'm also a decent admin that'd make a fine addition to your team.


What country are you from: I'm from the United States.

Age: 14 (Sorry for kind of going under that age limit, I'd figure it'd be fine as I'm turning 15 in 4 days).

Additional notes: None. Well, I actually might have to address this before I'm done writing... I HAVE griefed before. Not RDM or anything exactly fitting into a rule-breaking status, but just... annoying people. I was in a single server-wide war, I think. Not much, but yeah. Just thought I'd need to say something about that.

Woops, my bad- I also forgot to mention: I'm really sorry for only coming onto the forum now. I never really knew about it, heck. I would've come earlier if I had.

I'm not really noticing the linguistic prowess you claim to possess. No offense.

Your age pretty much defines new-comers, and at 14, no one can really expect you to be "decent" at administrating, as you stated

One final thing: Let me get this straight. You want to use the Administrative title as leverage against other players? To doctrine them to your structure of civil gameplay?

Admins to me are more like Supervisors than Enforcers, like Lifeguards rather than Policemen. They sit back and have fun, until something wrong happens, then they are required to act dutifully whereas a Policeman is always a tightass and cracks down on every mistake someone makes.


Be a Lifeguard, my friend.


+1 for a neat application
-1 for failure to provide any proof of experience from a credible source and new to community(forums)

I can see what you mean there. I do understand the lifeguard-to-policeman theory, but I might not have gone into detail of why I wanted to become an administrator here.
From what I can see, the server is really in need of a bit tighter administration. Don't take that wrong, I'm really a fan of letting fun be smooth and not clenched and ruined, but with there not being a good administrator on in the time I'm on is definitely not a good thing. If you haven't really noticed for yourself (I'm sorry, I really haven't got any solid evidence of this), the RP sometimes goes haywire into a giant 'run-for-your-life' kind of thing, without contributing to the fun, of course. It's what I meeen, maaang. It's not for my fun itself, it's seeing that EVERYONE is having a lot of fun that really makes me happy.

[joke]So you're basically saying the current admins aren't doing their jobs well [/joke]

But I'm convinced.

+1 from me.

I do understand the lifeguard-to-policeman theory...

Let me just say that it's not a theory more than it is a comparison between the two distinct jobs. They're completely different and you have to decide what those differences may be. You may not be saving a life, but you're saving a 12 year old kid from rage-quitting out of GMod...

I respect you.

Gotta admit, you do have a point.
