As Dodo kindly pointed out, I do a lot of things back stage. I am not the only lead team member that does those things (all our lead team does so) but I do a lot more than what the other 2 super admins have been doing. Yesterday for one I spend over an hour talking to Dylan explaining to him how he can prove his attitude and why exactly everyone hates him. I went into detail pointing things in his forum posts, behaviors in-game, etc. I could have spent that time being on the server or any other server I have staff on but I didn't, Dylan's issue had to be solved imidiately and no one else reaching out to him so I did. This is just an example of things I do back-stage that no one gets to see. Yes I did spike my activity upon applying but I do believe everyone would. As for the 2 weeks where there was a complete lack of activity(If you click 30 days on the game tracker) was due to me being on holiday for easter. Dodo also pointed out that me admitting to my mistakes is a trait everyone should have but sadly not a lot of people do. When someone proves to me my mistake with actual discussion even if it's a user, for one I didn't realize there was a problem with the appeals I handle until Kyber pointed it out and explained to me why I was being biased. Of course your points and opinions still stand and I will do my best to improve on it. Thanks for the feedback.I mean, your application itself shows you aren't that interested in the promotion for what it's worth, or, what it SHOULD be worth. I read your application a few times, and the very last part always gets me, and it shows your intentions, which, in reality, there is none. You don't seem to know what Head Admins entail, nor do you need it. What you do as a super admin, or, so to say, what you don't, is plenty of responsibilities for someone like you and your goals. I don't think getting Head Admin should be on your agenda if all you're doing it for is for that pretty little orange colour, TS3 badge and bragging rights. In your application, the last part as mentioned, you show us 2 things (Which, by the way, is awful if you're going for one of the last few steps in the rank pyramid, giving only 2 goals lmao) : 1. Being more dedicated, which, AS A SUPER ADMIN YOU SHOULD KNOW, is an awful awful thing to put in an application, as you're just giving us shit covered in suger and calling it ice cream. Don't tell us you want to be more dedicated, actually BE more dedicated. From your Gametracker profile, it's extremely clear that all your activity spiked BECAUSE you applied for Head Admin, where IT SHOULD BE just high to begin with at all times, as I mentioned many times, consistency is extremely important. I hate how people try just on their application week JUST to sugarcoat themselves, instead of being consistant and have high quality and standards all the time. What I hate more, is that people like you actually get pretty far by doing that. Anyways. 2. Showing more maturity bla bla bla look, you should ALREADY do that, that shouldn't be your goal. You're Lead Team. What your goals should be, are definitely not that of what a normal HAs goals are. And that's why I don't think you should get it. You clearly don't want it's responsibilities and what it actually entails. You just want the benefits of it. You wanted to apply purely because positions have opened. Which, completely contradicts your 2nd point in your goals part of the application... Well, I hope you read through all of it and I hope you don't get it this week, nor next, nor next, not until you get your priorities and reasining behind the rank and the promotion VERY, VERY straight. PS: Adding you to HA would mean nothing. Wouldn't change the server in any way at all. It would just already add to the incredibly huge circle jerk of higher ups, because, from watching your behaviour, personality, actions and leadership skills, you can never speak for yourself or add anything to the table, It was interesting to see what you'd do as a SA when you got it, and it was literally nothing. You should've stayed as an admin. :/ Whilst in some levels I do agree with you I do wish to mote that having commitment as a goal doesnt mean you are not commited. It means you wish to be MORE commited and nickolas here admits to 2 of his highest weaknesses. Being aware of such issues is a trait everyone should have. Honestly most of the actions LT members take stays in the shadows. Yea you can sit on server and catch hackers and watch staff (like I do) but there is no need to have 5 SA's doing that at the same time. Instead we need LT members like Nickolas here for actions that happen off server (as well) who keeps up with staff activity, forums and relationships between staff members. Honeslty you should see the OneNote its pretty much filled with Nickolas handling stuff. I am aware that I just defended my competition and every action I take in his favor decreases my odds of being selected but this was right thing to do so screw it I feel like you didn't read what you said. FROM WHAT YOU WROTE IN THE APPLICATION, I can tell you either aren't ready for it, or you don't know what it actually means. I said clearly, that I think you only want it for the orange colour, bragging rights and ts3 badge. You should take it more seriously, and, if there is really more stuff behind the scenes, fucking mention it in your application then, pull the curtain, it's the only logical thing to do when asking for a promotion. Your reply looks as if it doesnt cover any of my initial points and feels like you just started rambling about literally something. Also, Bezzys post is also an extremely well structured reply, I wish I could've written it, I also wish you could thank a post 2 times, it was really good and it's better feedback from a real LT member that you could use a lot more than my comments. |

I have to agree with Svanz that your hopes to achieve section is a little concerning. If you are applying for such a high rank as head admin i don't think you should be saying "i want the rank so i can achieve these", both having good activity to show dedication and showing maturity on the forums and on team speak are something you should already be doing now, not saying you want to achieve them if you get head admin.

I love you As Dodo kindly pointed out, I do a lot of things back stage. I am not the only lead team member that does those things (all our lead team does so) but I do a lot more than what the other 2 super admins have been doing. You know, I have more than enough reasons for not wanting to apply for Head Admin right now, but by you basically saying whatever you've been doing is far more important or even the fact that as you said you do "A lot more" than what the rest of us do, is quite arrogant and ignorant. The thing is we're a TEAM, there is no I in team, and there is simply no need to go around saying that what you've been doing is either more important or that you do far more than the rest of us. Dodo has been extremely active on the server, and has been from the beginning far exceeding your own self. While I always strive to make the server a better place, not only for the players but also for our staff, by putting my own time and effort into things that may very well never get past discussions. The thing is we all do what we believe is the correct path led out for us, while we're expected to be able to cover all aspects entailed daily as a super. Unless you're really not active or not doing anything at all, I trust that no one will tell me that what I do for the server is less than what anyone else does, when we're ultimately suppose to be a team, we have to rely on each other, not only for our strengths each one of us hold, but support each other during our weaknesses aswell. |

So this reminds me very much of another comment that Xnator made last year on Raifster's Prophunt SA application, where he said that Raif did a lot more than the actual Lead Team were. Bezzy has already touched upon this so I will not go super deep into the matter, but it's an extremely disrespectful attitude you can have towards your fellow Lead Team members. Just like how you do things without telling your fellow staff, as do they. Which also brings me to my next point:Yesterday for one I spend over an hour talking to Dylan explaining to him how he can prove his attitude and why exactly everyone hates him. I went into detail pointing things in his forum posts, behaviors in-game, etc. I could have spent that time being on the server or any other server I have staff on but I didn't, Dylan's issue had to be solved imidiately and no one else reaching out to him so I did. This is just an example of things I do back-stage that no one gets to see. First of all, thank you for doing your job. That is most definitely the kind of things the Lead Team should be doing. It's also because of this that I'm unsure why you say "Oh, I could have been on the server" even though you obviously couldn't have been.Whenever I am in a serious conversation with anyone on the Teamspeak or on Steam, I never join the server or I quit whichever game I am playing. That is common sense. Not doing that would be illogical, so the argument of "Oh I could have been doing something else" is completely redundant. What mostly bothers me about this statement is that you're doing a service towards another staff member and you're using it as bragging rights. You're doing your job, something you have been assigned to do, and that you might want to tell your fellow Lead Team about it so they're aware of the situation, I don't see why you would use this as an argument. Of course you can give examples - though perhaps some anomity for the person in question would be nice - but this isn't just an example added onto an application: it is you discretiting the work of the rest of your Lead Team by using the argument "Oh look at what I am doing, isn't it great." Yes it most definitely is great, but don't use the good things you're doing to brag about how much you deserve a rank, or at the very least not without speaking to the staff member in question first. Don't get me wrong. I've used arguments such as your own before. I recall my SSRP Super Admin application mentioning how much I helped some of the Lead Team members at the time. But as great as examples are, you should at least ask for permission from the person beforehand. Using favours towards people as bragging rights is a relatively rude thing to do. Note that this is only a relatively minor complaint. As I stated, I have done similar things before and it is completely understandable that you'd do it. No major harm was done either way. Though you might want to get that team spirit going man, because currently I feel like you're doing a bit too much with the I's. |

There a lot of things to quote so I will just make a response here without quoting:
1st) There is a reason it's behind the scenes and other people can't see my work if there wasn't a reason I wouldn't be hiding it behind the curtain. 2st) I never meant to offend any other lead team member on not doing their job I just said that compared to the others I do more behind the scenes whereas they do a lot of on scene. 3rd) I said, "when I could have been on the server" to use an example as to why my activity isn't as good as Dodo's but I still do my job. 4th) Dodo, Bezzy and I can work together very well and I have no complaints against them and I'm quite sure they have no complaints against me. We always work together as a team but sometimes I have to try and stand out on my own when going for such a rank which if I keep on doing the exact same "good" job I'm doing then I can't stand out from the rest. There are a lot more things I want to discuss but I will instead Revoke my application, LOCK Good luck on your application Dodo, you deserve it! |

You don't know half the things they do, just as how they don't know what you do half of the time. Also, behind-the-scenes stuff isn't exactly behind the scenes if you share it right here on the forums. 1st) There is a reason it's behind the scenes and other people can't see my work if there wasn't a reason I wouldn't be hiding it behind the curtain. 2st) I never meant to offend any other lead team member on not doing their job I just said that compared to the others I do more behind the scenes whereas they do a lot of on scene. |
