Why I think I should be a VIP: I think that this community could use someone nice as a buffer between new guests and the common and regular players. Granted, this is not a reason to have VIP on its own, but in my eyes, it is like wearing a uniform at a job; People are much more likely to listen when you look like you know the answers. (Gotta love psychology, right?) I also think that I am not only a responsible person, but that I have been nice to people and tried to help whenever I could. Also, because my computer is shit, I would be more than willing to go to other servers to help out when someone calls, because I wasn't doing good in the game I was playing anyway.
Why I want to be VIP: To be the buffer which I have described above; I would attempt to help people by explaining the things they do not understand, and also keep them in line by explaining the rules when misunderstood (read as, earlycading in ZS and why this is bad; Or as explaining the rules of TTT to the eventual newcomer who thinks its like CSS). Basically, I want to help make the servers I am in more user-friendly, and help steer new people in the right direction.
Situations: Look, I'm gonna be honest here. I will do the exact same thing everyone else says they will do in any given situation (Like voteban micspammers), so I will spare the copypasting. Ask me if you don't think I know. However, there is one exception: I will not votekick/voteban if there is another VIP or an active admin online, unless the situation completely merits the action. I do not want VIP to kick people; I want it to be as I described above.
Contributions to RND: Currently, none other than being a loyal and active kissass member.
Things done in-game: Not be a dick.

In Conclusion: I understand that this is not a very normal reasoning for wanting a VIP promotion, but I hope that you see my standpoint. I will take this opportunity to thank you :fullheart: edly for reading this, and for your consideration, as well as to thank Don for letting me copy and modify his app, and Magic for posting this. I also want to give this small token of appreciation to Cable (this one here :quakemedallion: ) for taking me in when I was just a wee lad in ZS who was playing his first computer games. And to my the people, here, reading this. If it weren't for all of you, I would've ragequit on this a LONG time ago.
I hope that regardless of the fact that I spent nearly 2 hours making this app pretty and appealing (a fact I don't see as being important, but I might as well brag since everyone else does) 30 minutes revising my old app, I will be judged on my ability as a candidate rather than as a guy who writes things in blue font.
Thanks Again!
