7/28/2011 Application: Axule
« on: July 28, 2011, 10:10:30 AM »
Axule's VIP Application


Personal Information

Name: Nathaniel Finley
Age 15
Birthdate: December 05, 1995
Location: Ewa Beach, Hawaii
Interests: Right now, I'm really interested in Psychology. I plan on being a Psychologist because I've always felt a sense of pride whenever I helped a friend out. I just like knowing I made someone's life easier by letting them understand things they might be missing and such. I'm also interested Astronomy (I love how beautiful the sky is and I'm always excited about things related to space), Engineering (I've always loved building things as a child. Lego's were my best friends at one point), and Soccer (I've played soccer for probably half my life and I've even started refereeing it).
Jobs: As stated above, I'm a referee for soccer. I've refereed for about 4-5 years, and I've been lucky enough to referee in in State Championships in Oklahoma, and a few tournaments in Hawaii.

Basic Information

Time Zone: GMT -9
In RND since: I started playing around February and March and joined the forums on April.
Times online: Depends. If it's summer, I'll probably be on for most of the day and night. If it's during school, I'll be on from 5:00PM to 9:00Pm (depending on whether I procrastinate or not).

Long before I actually joined the community, I didn't follow the rules as much. Around when I first started playing, someone had told me about karma farming, and once I did it and got away with it, I kept doing it, even after I was kicked again and again. I quit because I saw how annoying it was being in game watching players karma farm. It's irritating as all get out becasue it's not fair they get their karma back up by doing nothing while we work. So that was the end of karma farming.
Another thing I did was kill afkers. It was sort of like gambling to me, betting whether he's a Traitor or not, taking the chance of either gaining some precious karma or losing it all. Ofcourse, I quit that because I realised it was just making me work for my karma longer than it needed to be.

The Appeal

Servers:
  • Trouble in Terrorist Town.
Why I would like to be VIP: There has been a lot going on with TTT for awhile now, and I've tried to keep it all under control with warnings and such, but I believe I can do a lot more if I were a VIP.

Why I should be VIP: I've always been a level headed dude when it came to playing. I've never lost it when I would get rdm'd or things of the like. I've always asked why the player did what they did, and if they come out with nothing, I would simply warn them not to do it again and to be careful. If an incident were to happen between to players, I would get both sides of the story as well as other players who are willing to help give information. The most important though is my responsibility. Though probably none of you have seen most of it (especially Deacon), being the oldest brother of 4 kids and my Dad deployed, I've had to help my mom out with keeping my brothers in line and such. I hope that you guys will be able to see that someday.

Why I shouldn't be VIP: I've messed up before in the past. After awhile when I first started playing on RND, I began ghosting, but I realised that it was defeating the whole purpose of the game and quickly quit after that. Also, probably the biggest reason, is because of something that had happened on Deacon's Minecraft Server. Long story short, I found an exploit and abused it. At the time I was just excited by the idea, but later I found out that what I had done was a bigger deal than I thought. I've regreted it ever since. I know it will be a very long while if I'm lucky enough to ever have Deacon's trust again, as well as most of the people from his server. I've changed since then, and with becoming a Regular, I've felt a sense of responsibility to the server I haven't quite experienced before.
One thing I may need to work on though is controlling myself with karma abusers. Last night in fact, I wasn't able to sleep so I began playing TTT when there were a few karma bug abusers. Luckily, Jim and Sheeps were there, but I noticed that I was wanting to act on them more quickly than Jim. I guess the main reason was because I had asked the karma abusers to quit, and they hadn't. Jim probably wasn't there to see it, so I got a little irritated, but Jim had it under control before I left.


Situations: When it comes to someone not following the rules, no matter what mood I was in before, I instantly become serious. Here are some things I would do if when the situation occurs:
  • Killing fellow Traitor buddy on TTT: Even though this doesn't happen very often, when it does, it can be hard at times finding out if it was an accident or not. To me, the real reason it's hard is because it doesn't seem very fair to leave the player with a warning if they're suspected of doing it on purpose, so you have to be 100% that the decision you make is the right one. This sort of situation, I would learn both sides of the story, as well as noting the behaviours of the involved players before the event occured. If I honestly believe it was on purpose, I would give a 1d ban. If it turns out it was just an accident, I would let the player go off with a warning and I would watch that player more carefully further on in the future.
  • RDMing the detective as an innocent: Unless I was there to see the situation take place to see whether or not it was an accident, I would ask the players what they say, and if none were there, I would base my decision off of how the innocent acted before as well as as their surroundings (T fight, barrels, something to shoot at, etc.). Depending on what they did, the kick/ban can differ, but majority of the time I would ban the innocent for around 30min or less.
  • Someone is glitching (not spawned on glitch, TTT and Flood): I'm always seeing this happen when I play. When I first spot a glitcher, I would ask the player to quit glitching. If they refuse, I would simply kick them. If they came back and glitched again, I would give them a days ban. Simple.
  • Someone is using a name changer: I've never been in this kind of situation, so I'll need help on what to do with this.
  • Someone is using an aimbot: The first moment someone calls out an aimbot, I would immediatley spectate the called out player. While recording it all with a demo, I will make my decision and either ban the player for a day or leave him be. Either way, I would report the demo I recorded and let the admins decide the players fate.
  • Someone is using speedhacks: Once I see the hacker or someone starts complaining, I would most likely suicide, spectate, and record with a demo. After I recieved enough proof to report, I would ban for a day and make up the report and post it up, letting the admins perma ban him/her.
  • Someone is constantly disrespecting other people: This is a big problem for me. I don't like it at all when people are making fun of kids and are just being a total jerk. It ruins the whole purpose of playing games. It also makes our servers look bad when we let a lot of it slide. Ofcourse, I can tolerate most of it, but if it starts interuppting the game, or just gets to out of hand, I would ask the disrespecter to quit and tell the victim to mute the disrepector if it's all through voice. If the disrespector continues to do so even after asking, I would kick the player. If he returns and continues, I would give a days ban. Anything beyond that I would ban for a week and make a report along with it.

*If you disagree with one my procedures or you believe I should change it, just post it in the reply or pm. I am up for any suggestions for these. Please don't hold back if you want to say something about this.


Contributions to RND: I haven't contributed to the server much at all. I do plan to though once I find a topic that hasn't been covered already to make a guide on.

Things done in game: Since most of my time is on TTT, I haven't really done anything that the next person hasn't done. Kept a cool head I guess : )

Contact Information
From most visited to least:

Thank You!

-Thank You to Deacon for helping me outlining my application : )
-Thank You Don for giving me advice on what to do for my application ; )
-Special thanks to Tom for posting this up for me!
And ofcourse, Thank You for taking your time to read through this.

Extra: In closing, I want to say that I know I've screwed up in the past. Everyone knows I have, but again I say I've changed. I've come to love RND and everyone in it and am willing to do anything to keep it going good. But please, if you feel the slightest bit of uncertainty towards me being VIP, I'm gladly willing to prove myself to you. Time isn't an issue for me, so if you would still like me to wait a little longer and get the community more, I couldn't be more glad to. If this VIP application is denied again, I won't reapply until I'm more known to the community.

Thank You again all for your supportive critisizm and constructive responses. Everything you post, whether it be for or against me, helps me learn what to change and what to keep. Thank You again for either taking your time to read this application for the first time or for another time.
Sorry if the time between my old app and this seems short to you, but I wanted to give it one more go before school started.

Well, I've heard some bad stuff about Axule from other players, but I for one have only seen good, and from what I have seen he's a very mature player that knows the rules well and seems pretty level-headed to me.

Well I've had a lot of bad experiences with Axule. As he himself stated, he ghosted, rdmed, and karma farmed. I personally had to kick him at least 15 times just for karma farming and he kept doing it anyways which really pissed me off. Also the thing with Deacon, you personally tried to insult me when I was just asking you about it saying how it was the most fun and best adrenaline rush you've had and how you don't give a shit you're banned because you can just play on another one of your friends' server. This is important in my opinion because what if you did the same on rNd and rdm'd everyone and said it was an adrenaline rush and just played on other servers? That'd be unacceptable behavior for a VIP.

In conclusion, while you may say you've changed, I honestly cannot believe you've changed until I see it myself. Until then,  :thumbsdown:.

I still think it's too soon.

I've only known this "new, changed" Axule.

So  :thumbsdown: for now.

For votes to count, an Admin or VIP MUST put their reasoning or best explain their bias for voting the way they did.

I was withholding my vote.
I didn't want to be this guy.
But I just can't get away from it.

Copied from his last app:
Quote
Pointing at what he brought up himself. He has shown to me that he will exploit when he can. He found a glitch on my MC server, stole things. He then came back with a false name, which i (stupidly) fell for. Now I'm not holding a grudge here; He has long since apologized on both occasions. However, those incidents tell me a little about him.

I know his thoughts are in the right place. But I don't think hes able to handle the responsibility of it.

I do think he has changed.
I do think he has tried on many occasions to prove himself.
I do now consider him my friend.
But I just cannot shake the feeling in my stomach when it was not very long ago that he told me he enjoyed breaking the rules because it gave him a rush.

Axule, I think you should wait a bit (but thats only my opinion).

Well, this is a hard decision...
As others have said, in the past you were breaking a lot of rules, I've only have kicked you for karma farming
as much as I can remember, but I were hearing that you were breaking other rules as well.
However it seems you have changed.

Now what impresses me is your reports. You seem to be doing a great job.
By that I think that you do care about this community and you have changed.
 :thumbsup:
