I know people have been shooting these out at rapid fire? But I thought I could just join the bandwagon -_-


Account Name Requested in Status: Rasegan
Post Count: 51
Characters: Uchiha Tori, Sabaku Ikari
What Kind of Mod do you wish to be: Normal

Answer the following Y/N Questions.

Have you Been a Mod Before?: Yes
Do you get along with others?: pffft no...jking =3 except for Shino =P
Do you often loose your temper?: No
Do you not like any of the staff members?: No
Are you often found Power Hungry?: I dont even know the definiton of Power hungry on this board -_-
Do you like to be Fair?: Yes
Would you choose benefits of the members over your own?: Ya
Do you think Cloud is Sexy?: If I was a girl, yes -_-

My uber paragraph:

I, Rasegan, believe I am mod material. I may have had a bad start as fatsplif, but I am a new person and I think I could actually be a great mod. Over the time, my Role playing skills have doubled. I went from struggling to type one paragraph to holding four paragraphs minimum in every single post so far. I am very active, on almost everyday. I may be a little slow in posting in spars with other but I would check any requests the moment they pop up. Like I said earlier I have "Average" Roleplaying skills on the board. I promise on my life I will help the board and approve.....stuff.

I accept, regardless of ur old reputation. I don't know if you have noticed Rasaegan, but none of his even think of that anymore, the only reason as to why me and Imortal Fighter objected to you having another character was because we did not know of your old account being deleted. But I do accept, you have improved much, and you are mod material.

Plus he could help out a bunch.

As much as I'd love Rasengan to be mod. I have to say no. Rasengan is a hardworking individual and I appreciate what he is doing RP-wise. But I have to say no.

To be honest, I really don't think that you would use being a mod to help out as I have. Being a moderator is a job and it sucks the life out of being here sometimes. I don't want that to happen to you.

That is something you'll need to answer for yourself, my young friend.

Being staff is a huge responsibility. One that can eat away at your conscience and kill your psyche. I really don't think that you want to go insane.... Maybe that was too blunt, um... It's rough Rasengan, trust me. I don't want you to give up your life to be apart of the staff. You won't enjoy it.

You're not ready because you lack experience and a firm understanding of how the board itself works. You're not ready because you're bias towards certain members and most likely you'll succumb to lust for power.

You're not ready yet.

Rasengan, can you respect me enough to understand that as your friend, I don't want you to go down this path? Being a moderator is tough work. I know that you are capable of being one but not now. One day, I will ask you personally to be one. But that is a long time coming. You have some growing to do before then. Imagine the Matrix if you will, "You got the gift kid, but you are just waiting for something."

Listen, I know what being a moderator means. I also know how HARD it is. There are times when you want to do your own thing, but can't. You have threads to grade, things to look at, and when story arcs come along, you can't participate nearly as much as you want to. It is exceedingly stressful and hard on you. I have quit RPGs 5 times simply because I couldn't play them anymore after being a moderator. It is TOUGH. It is not fun. And most of all, it is ungratifying.

People will not say thank you most of the time. They will take you for granted. They will think your services are expected. And truthfully, they are as soon as you sell your soul to the admin team. And I don't say that lightly. It takes a lot of maturity to look at the issues behind the scenes and realize just how tough it is. If you truly believe that you could stay here without playing a character anymore, then you can be a mod. If you can't, then stay a player. Believe in what Draven says, he knows what he is talking about.

This goes for all mod candidates. Cloud has said I am one of the hardest workers he's had on the mod team. I try hard and enjoy it. But it gets overwhelming, even for someone like me who LIKES doing grunt work. So, for someone who just wants to play the game, it does drain the fun out of the game. This isn't something lightly to do.

And, if you need one more reason, it's this line, in jest or not.

But I thought I could just join the bandwagon

You have to take the job seriously. Even posting that in jest shows you really don't understand how difficult the position is. So, I implore you and all trying to join to think about it carefully. It isn't being a member with extra privileges. You become staff with SOME time to be a member. And that is my five cents on a position that has ruined RPGs multiple times for me.

Well said Endless, I agree. Currently, Cloud has asked me to go on a hiatus from doing mod work because I recently had a mental breakdown. I declined because I'm a crazy Motha F-er. XD

Added in by Imortal: You need to have little to no life for the job hahahaahahaha. I spend most of my days chatting with people, so this is a way of helping out while still enjoying myself. :D

Note: Immy-kun is new to the moderator business. Give it awhile. He will be able to give you a visual aide that will prove that we are a mentally ill breed.

We also don't need anymore staff right now. I will keep your app in mind next time we need a staff member. Also... to prevent future discussions like this. Nobody post in topics other than myself in this forum.
