TOPIC: [TTT Super Admin] LonelyDodo's Application

Steam Name: LonelyDodo

Time Zone: GMT+2

Link to Steam Profile: Stem pro file for da Doodoo

What server are you applying for? TTT

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:78404438

Current Gametracker Profiles: Dodos cannot fly but for this Dodo running while flapping is good enough

Estimated Server Time: Started playing on the server regularly 29th of November 2017 and from that point I have gathered over 300 hours on the server

Languages I speak: Finnish, English, Swedish, and a bit of Greek (team Greek FTW)

How do you feel that your time as an administrator has contributed to becoming a super administrator: I think my time as an admin has already shown why I believe I could be a good Super Admin. I wish not to even guess how many time I have had to contact Johnler (Mah personal tool) to handle some issues that I could not as an admin tackle. This includes a hacker and a fellow admin abusing his powers

What makes you a good candidate for the super administrator team? ( in this part you can go as detailed as you want): Honeslty my strong suit is my time on the server. I play probably too much on the server doing anything from helping fellow staff members (or users) to catching cheaters. My weaknesses at the moment are my TS activity (which I am trying to improve) and time I have had as an Admin (This is my 2nd week and even now I have voiced complaints which obviously makes me look bad as it is...) and for these reasons I do not believe I will be accepted this week. I am applying only to show my interest for the position. You will hear from me again in 3 weeks when this gets denied.

Explain a situation as an administrator you encountered that was an obstacle that required the help of a lead team member but you had to work around it when no lead team member was available: BananaSlanger abusing his powers as an Admin. I had to record him miss handle 2 cases and then cut the footage after which I handed it to a higher up because I did not want to stir any shit

Explain how you would review and handle an abuse report against another staff member:
I would start by reading the abuse report after which I would attempt to talk to both the staff member and the victim as soon as possible. I would ask the staff member what happened in his point of view after which I would interview the victim. After hearing out the victim I would go back to the staff member ask if he things he did anything wrong, if he admits doing wrong I would try to work out an end result that would please the victim whilst giving fair treatment to the staff member.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member bans a user for an excessive amount of time, how do you approach the staff member to ensure that everyone is treated fairly?
I would privately contact him asking him why he banned the user for such a long time. After hearing the staff member out I would suggest him lower the time to a certain so its within a time frame that it should be. After this I would ensure the staff member knows where he went wrong and would not make this mistake again. Then I would contact the banned user to inform them that their ban was shortened.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member is dealing with a user but is struggling to do so in an appropriate manner. How would you resolve the situation?
I would start by contacting staff member asking why he is treating the user such way after which I would recommend handing the case to someone else and would suggest him to apologize to the user for his actions.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member accuses another staff member of breaking rules, how would you help resolve the situation?
For me its important to hear both sides of the story so I would contact both of them via private messages either on steam or in server trying to get their version of the story from both of them. While doing this I would be asking if either one of them could prove the claims to be either valid or invalid if neither of them could prove the story I would not assume the accused member is guilty, but would ask the accuser to gather proof.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
A staff member acts in a disrespectful manner towards another staff member and or sparks an argument within the staff team. How do you resolve the situation?
I would ask for both of them to stop it. After calming the situation I would be contacting both of them asking what happened and would work that way on achieving some sort of an understanding between them and sort out what sparked the situation hopefully easing the relations of these two staff members.

Explain in detail how you would act in the following situation:
You spot a staff member breaking rules to the point of harming other users, how do you approach the staff member?
I would start by estimating whether or not the situation would need dire reaction or a verbal warning would suffice for now. I would start by taking my shadow recording. If the staff member would have been constantly breaking the rules and I deem him to be doing it out of spite and with malicious intent I would Isolate him from others. after which I would attempt to talk some sense into him if he continues after the talk I would strip him from his rank as an emergency action, but if he stops I would just let him be for now. No matter the outcome issue would be brought up in Lead Team meeting with the video I gathered.


Post scriptum (not part of the template)
Thank you for reading and giving me the time of the day I hope for feedback even though I do not believe I will be selected as the feedback would help me improve myself so I would be accepted in the future. Oh and can we please add MO (Modus Operandi) into our vocabulary it sounds so bad ass lol

Trust me you won't be denied for you voicing your opinion. The only way that would happen is if it showed you to be overly agressive and just an overall dick, which I don't believe was the case with you. I am not saying you will be accepted though because as you said it's your second week and you will most definitely be denied for that exact reason. However, you do seem to be an admin with potential.

Thanks for the feedback and yeah I don't believe I will get accepted, but at least I will show that I have interest for the position once I'm be fully qualified

that activity is the best i have seen in my 3 years at zarp. but keep up that activity and apply after like a month or even 2 and you will most likely get the position as its to early rn

I don't want to seem rude but at the moment you won't have my vote. I think that you need to be admin for quite a lot longer to show leadership and dedication. I think you should also try and give more opinions in meetings and talk to Lead Team members such as myself so we get a good idea of what you are like.

Once you have done all of these you will get my vote.

Good luck!

Btw if you ever wanna talk add me on steam by clicking one of my signature pictures.

That activity has been like that for 2 months now I dont think its changing a lot. Thanks for the feedback and yea I am aware that im way too fresh for the position

Thank you for the honesty. I dont think I will get anyones vote and honestly its much better this way. I did this application to show that I have interest for the position. Thank you for showing where I can improve while getting the time I need.

Seems like you have allot of playtime on TTT, and ive heard you have been around for some time.
Good luck!

Like Aek says, you would need more time as an admin to show you have experience alongside the reason with giving more opinions in the meetings. Also, your forum activity is good however, your teamspeak activity is pretty lacking at the moment however I can see that you are improving that overtime. Overall, you wont have my vote this week either however like I said with Jax, keep up your good work for the server and then you will get my vote.

Good Luck!

You dummy! You don't need to apply for feedback , all you have to do is ask around , literally , that's what i did and improved on what they told me so here i am now! Well i will give you my full opinion here. You are a great guy and have shown your dedication to the server as well as your skills and traits. You handle situations very efficiently and fast. You could use with a bit more experience but it's enough for you to do your job as a Lead Team member . Your teamspeak and forums activity is very high and you don't need to worry about that part! You recently resigned and revoked which makes your chances go down fast. You really do need more leadership skills/traits as well as self confidence , the fact that you said "and if i get accepted OK XD,, is something you should never add to any applications as it shows you don't seriously want the role and makes me not take you seriously when you will apply "for real,, . Regardless i wish you the best of luck and i will support you when you apply next time!


Wait ? Does this seem very similar? Is it the same i commented on Jax's application? Yes , yes it is. Why? The same applies to you too the only thing i would like to add that is special for you is that you also caused quite some drama over the hacking policies and banana not being demoted so you should wait at least a bit more than Jax should for this whole thing to blow over!

LonelyDodo wrote: Yeah, that seems fine. I would like to tell you that it took me personally around 2 months to get accepted, which, at the time, was considered quite fast (do understand that the way Super Admin applications were handled differently back then). Of course several others got accepted faster than that, such as big man brenzor, but I'm just telling you that you might just need a little more time.

Johnler knows exactly what you need to get Lead Team. If you haven't already, speak to him about it. Other than that, be sure to pay extra attention within meetings and try your best to stand out from the crowd, try to join the Teamspeak on a daily basis and speak to many TTT staff members (both Lead Team and non-Lead Team), try to show leadership within the game and on the Teamspeak and show a great interest in the server (the famous quote "TTT is shit" got a former SA demoted).

Good luck!
