What is your in-game name? (Please also give any alt accounts, and if you're applying for our TTT server, your Steam ID.)
Kotonaut (koto#1201 on discord, _ChoasLego_ on forums)
What timezone do you live in?
Mountain Standard Time (GMT -7)
How many hours have you played on the server for?
Currently I've played for 3 days and 20 hours.
How many hours can you spend helping out the server per week?
Around 10-12 hours per week in-game would be reasonable for me. I am also able to contribute to the server through Discord as well.
What prior staffing experience do you have? (It is not mandatory and it is not a problem if you do not have any.)
In 2013, I was Trusted on the Premium TNT server from early September until its shutdown. However, it has been a long time since I have had a staff position in ER/Blocktopia.
What do you think the role entails?
Being a Moderator means being unbiased, collaborative, and resourceful. As a Mod, one should not judge someone based on any personal affiliations or predispositions. Mods should also be open to new ideas from both fellow staff members and players when they are implementing policies. As always, moderators ensure a safe, fair, and fun environment for all on the server.
Why do you want to be a staff member?
Having played all of the BT/ER SMPs since Journey to Elysium, I want to give back to the community that has been the source of many of my fondest memories in minecraft and serve it well. By becoming a staff member of SMP, I believe I can help promote an open and fun community on the server while also creating bridges between the casual and PvP crowds in the community.
What qualities can you bring to the current staff team, that set you apart from other applicants?
As a veteran PvPer on every SMP since JtE, I believe I can bring with me knowledge of PvP rules, item meta, and balances from previous SMP iterations that could benefit both players and staff alike. Having been a biological researcher the past year, I've learned to be patient and calm in most situations. As an individual, I strive to treat other people with compassion and respect and look at situations from their perspectives to understand things better.
How would you approach a problem that you are unfamiliar with?
First, I would contact fellow moderators for their assistance and expertise in the event that I am in an unfamiliar situation. If that does not work, I would move on to the Senior Moderators and then move up from there.
Is there anything else we should know or you want to tell us?
In the past year, I've worked on my empathy skills and learned to see things from other perspectives in order to not come across as argumentative. Rather than forcing my opinion down other's throats, I've taken the time to see the reasoning behind other people's beliefs. This year marks my eighth year with ER/BT - as a college student close to graduating, I hope I can use this year to help improve and further the community.
