Username: jackavsfan
Real Name: Jack
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Location: Thornton, CO
Time Zone: Mountain (GMT -7)
About Yourself: Where to begin... Well, I am currently a senior in high school, and I'm planning on going to CU-Boulder next year to study Chemistry (I might be going for a doctorate, but of course, that's many years away). I'm a golfer and a huge hockey fan (My team is the Avalanche, hence my username). I have been playing video games for quite a long time, and I have been playing Minecraft for two years since a friend of mine got me interested in it. I joined MineRealm in January of 2012 and I have found it to be the best Minecraft server I have played on.
Qualifications: My first multiplayer Minecraft server was Brohemoth's Clan Wars, quite a large server at the time. Over the course of about a year, I worked my way up the ranks and became a leader of one of the server's four clans. I later became an admin on this server for a short time before it closed due to a lack of donations. My time on Bro's server gave me experience with the "PR" side of being on staff, as I was often looked to for help, questions, griefing repairs, and the like. I have also operated my own small Bukkit servers for friends on several occasions, so I am comfortable with the technical side of being on a server's staff. MineRealm uses a different system, of course, but I am a quick learner and would adapt quickly.
Why you deserve this position: I have been on MineRealm for almost a year now, and have grown to love the server. I love helping people, especially new players, and I believe I am ready to bring my previous experience as a server admin to MineRealm where I can put it to good use. Particularly with the recent influx of new players, it is important to have staff members on constantly to help people out, and I have the experience necessary to contribute as a member of staff. I try to help already in any way I can by answering questions or giving materials to new players, but I would love to be able to contribute more by enforcing the rules and keeping the server fun and fair for everybody.
Availability: Currently I am available most of the time during the day and night, but when school starts in January, I will be mostly available in the evenings and on weekends. I have noticed that there don't seem to be staff members online very often during the evenings in my time zone, and I would be able to fill in that gap a bit.
Anything else you wish to add: I realize this is long, so thank you for taking the time to read through it. Most people on MineRealm probably don't know about my previous experience, so I wanted to take plenty of time to explain it thoroughly. Feel free to ask questions if you have any about my application.

You told me months back that you were 12 or something... I'm not sure, perhaps it was another player with a similar name? That player also didn't exacly get a good rap behaviour-wise. I'm not blaming you for anything, judging by your application it probably wasn't you I remember. Anyways, good luck!

Definitely wasn't me. It was probably just some other player with jack in their name. I certainly don't have a bad rap and I am not twelve... haha.

Thanks for the support!

Yeah, I went through a phase where I wasn't talking much. But now I'm back to playing for real so I've been way more active in chat. I don't see you on very often which sucks :/ probably a time zone difference.

Either way, thanks for the support!

You do seem to act in a very responsible manner, and handle pressured situations quite well. Good luck man, you would be a great fit for staff.
