  1. Hi Hany,

    We here at Bethlehem would like to thank you for applying for the role of support. We always appreciate when people like yourself who value their time here so much they want to be apart of our fantastic team to help make strides towards a better community.

    Unfortunately at this stage, the staff team has come to a unanimous decision that you do not yet meet the standard we hold for new members joining our team, and we would like to see a couple of improvements before you apply again.

    These are some area's we believe you should improve before applying again;

    • Make yourself known in the community a little more; it's one thing helping someone who asks directly for help but we're looking for people who put themselves out there by throwing out a ::yell sometimes letting players know you're available to help with any issues or concerns. Just make sure it's not spam.
    •  
    • When someone else is already helping another player, just let them be whether it's a staff member or a veteran player that's helping. Having two people helping on the same matter at the same time can be very confusing and make things harder to understand in the end.
    •  
    • Spend a little bit more time on your application. Whenever we feel that someone has rushed their application purely just to put it out there for others to view, we almost immediately lean more towards declining the application as we like to see people put them selves out there a little more. Be yourself, by all means but just bring everything to the table.
    •  
    • I'll give you a little hint, our most important question on here is "What would you do if you found or were informed about duped items?". Telling an Admin+ is a great start, but generally speaking there are 3 most important people to contact IMMEDIATELY as they have direct contact with Harry outside of Discord; Panic, Old Nite & Kostask. You can of course message anyone regarding something this serious, but it's important we get Harry & possibly even myself on to finding a way to replicate and ultimately quash it. Contacting higher ups isn't the only thing you need to do, so think carefully as to how you answer this one next time.

    YOU MUST WAIT AT LEAST 7 DAYS AFTER THE DECLINE OF THIS POST BEFORE POSTING A NEW APPLICATION, ANY APPLICATIONS MADE BEFORE THIS PERIOD IS OVER WILL BE DECLINED IMMEDIATELY AND THE 7 DAYS WILL START AGAIN. PLEASE DO NOT COPY/PASTE FROM YOUR OLD APPLICATION.

  2. Hey Shinox!

    Just want to start off by saying thank you for being so understanding when being declined on your previous unsuccessful application and most of all learning from what could have been done better and implementing these traits to your new application.

    Everything is clear to read and your knowledge in the game shows, you answered the questions as a staff member should and it flowed quite nicely compared to the last attempt because it wasn't rushed.

     

    +1 From me, and I wish you the best of luck on future comments from the rest of the team.

     

    --JINX

  3. Hey Shinox,

     

    First off I wanted to thank you for applying for the role of Server Support as we are in search of new members!

    Unfortunately, I have to agree with my fellow staff members in the sense that this application was rushed with very little detail. The way I see it when an application is rushed, tells me that the person writing the application is only interested in making the role and not the extra steps along the way to make sure they are the best fit for this role.

    That being said, I also agree with the positives that they have left behind. You are knowledgeable within the game, and I do see you helping others when the opportunity arises.

     

    Overall, I think many things could have been done better on this application which is why I will be recommending the thread to be closed and declined giving you the opportunity to apply again next week giving you more time to think about your answers a bit more.

    If it helps at all, previous accepted applications are still available to view for your own use. Please do not copy & paste answers from these, but by all means use these as a tool to better your understanding of the role before it were to begin.

  4. Hey Jurgen,

     

    I'd like to start off by saying well done on making what is in my opinion a relatively successful application. Nice and consistent, easy to read even though there's a language barrier you have proved that won't be an issue if you were to land this role.

     

    I've spent quite a bit of time in game with you as well, always helping others when you're on and you follow the rules to the best of your ability.

     

    The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the "Tell us about yourself" portion of this application. It felt a little lacking to me in a sense of, I feel like I know the same person I did before reading the application. I wanted to meet someone new and learn what kind of video games do you play, what's your favourite series to watch and why, does family mean wife and kids and if so how many kids and things like this 😛 (I myself am 26 years old, divorced and re-engaged and together my fiance and I have 5 beautiful children.)

     

    I'm gonna give you the go ahead on my end by giving you a +1. Looking forward to other responses on this thread from the fam! ❤️

  5. Hey Garry,

     

    Absolutely loved reading this application my man!

    Nice consistent answers and not in a copy&paste sense either, as Leg mentioned you really took the time to think about your answers and produce a really nice application for us to read. I've spent a lot of time in game with you, I was the one who helped you when you started and I spent a lot of time with you. To see how far you've come, in such a short period of time in regards to both your progress in the game and as a family member in this community has been a really pleasant experience and I'm sure others would feel the same way.

     

    For me, the most important question on here is "What would you do if you were informed about duped items?" and i have to say you're honestly the first person to put an application in that I didn't have to correct on this question and that's a really big plus for me because this is a really important matter when it does happen.

     

    The only downside to this application for me is the fact that Pup now has a new friend that's not me, I feel as if I've already been replaced simply because I don't live in the UK and that's undeserved. (looool)

     

    The fact that I couldn't think of anything serious to add as an issue is a really good sign. A huge +1 from me, and I look forward to further responses on this from the fam ❤️

  6. Hey Lukas,

    Just a couple of things on my end that concern me about this application.

     

    Firstly, when answering the question "Why do you want to be a Bethlehem staff member, and why do you think you deserve this rank?". The question itself states "Why do you DESERVE this rank". In my opinion, this is a trick question and it always lands the wrong way. Someone telling us that they deserve the rank because of qualities that they themselves possess, is a let down. There's no real reason why we should pick you over others because you feel you deserve it more, that's not how it works. We choose people who we think will be the best fit for the rank IE: someone who puts others first with an answer similar to "I don't believe I deserve this rank over anyone else per se, but here's what I bring to the table." just makes us look at you from a different angle if that makes sense. Other staff members may have a different opinion on this, this is purely just my stance on the matter, that being said it's not a "mood killer" for your application, just -1 point in my head over all.

    Secondly, I myself have given you quite a few warnings for AFK PVM particularly for WYRM and it's always a different excuse. We get it, life gets in the way and needs to come first over gaming. That being said, there are rules in place for these things ahead of time and these rules need to be followed. From my stance I don't exactly see someone who follows the rules 100% as I've warned and warned on the same thing. If the final call was mine to make, you would have had a ban under your belt but that's not the way things went. "IF" you were to get this rank, there is absolutely no AFKING on staff accounts and this could be an issue for you in my opinion. Things like getting something from the kitchen, or taking a bathroom break don't count as these are small timings and you can catch back up in the chat.

    Thirdly, when answering the questions regarding what you would do in certain situations needing to be moderated by a staff member, you kind of just decided not to answer 3 of them. Telling us "As above" is not an answer as these are 3 vert different situations and all need to be handled differently. The most important question on here is "What would you do if you were informed about duped items?" simply banning a random player for giving you information, or banning someone based off someone else throwing another player under the bus DOES NOT CUT IT. In any situation like this the whole team would be contacted from Panic - Harry and everyone in the middle until everyone is online working together. You banning the only evidence they may need could be the worst thing to do; could be the best thing to do but at the end of the day that's not your call to make and if you do make it that's okay these things can be reversed for a reason; but the perpetrator has probably already given up and we may lose the info we need to fix it.

    Finally, I know this isn't well known but the rule against buying/selling/gambling in the help CC was actually removed about 3 months ago and we no longer enforce this. (This isn't your fault for answering was just a courtesy :D).

     

    Overall, I think I would have to be a -1 from me for now I'm sorry, I just don't think you're ready. This is based both off of answers given by you, and my time and experience with you in game personally. I don't see you helping in the CC when I'm on and I don't see you welcoming new players. You need to put yourself out there a bit more.

    Thank you for applying, and I wish you all the best of luck with any other responses you may get. 🙂

  7. +1 Rep

    Amazingly helpful player in game. Always helping new players, and veterans with their questions and even dedicates time to showing them things if need be. You've been my saviour multiple times when my kids distract me and you answer instead 😄

    As for the application; You have previous experience in a community which is great. May not be an RSPS but it's still valuable in my opinion. I personally always dislike it when people say that they "Deserve" the rank. I always go about it the opposite way with something like "I don't feel I deserve the rank over others, but here's why I could be a better choice." 

     

    All in all, you would be a great addition to the team and I look forward to the outcome 🙂

  8. +.5 Rep

    Would be a great addition to our team, you're very helpful in game when you're on and a fun guy to get along with.

    HOWEVER; This application is a little lacking in my honest opinion. For one of your answers you legit just put "Ban Hammer". This being one of the worst things that could happen to an ECO on an RSPS you would need to act quickly, I'd like to hear what steps you would take in this situation, rather than just a "Ban Hammer" because the person showing you obviously either found it by accident or someone else told them about it, is doing the right thing by informing you and a ban may not be needed.

  9. You're a great guy, and a knowledgeable player within our community. 

    However, based on conversations with you regarding a staff role; you're not actually interested in obtaining a role at all; you've said this to both Holder and myself.

    As for this, and it being the second application within the month and both times you're not actually being serious; it's a hard NO from me.

    My opinion to the staff above me has been to close this thread, if it's closed please don't apply again until you're actually ready to accept the responsibility IF you're ever accepted in the future. We will auto close any applications within the next 6 months.

    Cheers -- Jinx

  10. +1 vouch from me

    My man Wee always helping in the help chat & directing new players & answering questions.

    Only thing I would say, spend a bit more time on your answers in the future; don't rush, it's not a race or a popularity contest 😛 Maybe check accepted applications to get a feel for what we look for 🙂 

  11. Name:

    Sam

    In-Game Username:

    Jinxstalock 

    Discord name:

    Jinxstalock#8005 

    Age:

    26 

    Country & Timezone (Include GMT):

    Australia (GMT+10) 

    Average time played per day?

    5-10 (I have 5 kids, so depends if it’s a school day etc, plus I’m studying Cyber Security full time). 

    What days of the week are you available to play?

    Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off (study from home), can still be on most of the week though. 

    When did you join Bethlehem?

    12th May 2020 (according to Discord).

    Have you had any breaks from playing the server since joining?

    Yes, I had 3 surgeries on my back last year, which rendered me quite useless for several months including gaming believe it or not. But I’m back with a vengeance :D

    What is your previous experience with being a staff member in an online community?

    I was once an Admin on a WoW private server called SunSet-WoW, my role there lasted for about 9 months before the server was shut down unexpectedly. 

    Why do you want to be a Bethlehem staff member, and why do you feel you deserve this rank?

    I’ve always admired the staff members on this server, everyone always feels like family to me because they’re all so nice and professional towards every player and are always extremely helpful. I would love nothing more than to be apart of such an amazing family because these attributes fit me as a person so much. As a father of 5, I try to be as loving and caring but efficient and tough all at the same time as best I can. I would be a great addition to the team because I can handle stressful spur of the moment situations calmly and collectively with a clear head, and I will always look out for any player who needs help; new or old. Rules are made to be followed, I intend to make sure that these rules are enforced to the best of my abilities. I wouldn’t say I “deserve” this rank above other candidates by any means at all, however if chosen I promise to be a friendly and inspiring player to all and above all else someone that people will know and trust in our community with any issues they may have, just being apart of something bigger is always better.

    What are the top 5 qualities that you think a Bethlehem staff member should have?

    Honesty, Loyalty, Communication, Proactivity and lastly Adaptability, you need to be aware that things may come up in the middle of anything, and be prepared to leave it and go back to it in your own time.

    Have you ever been infracted (Muted/Jailed/Banned)?

     Not to my knowledge :)

    If you answered yes to the above question, what was the reason:

     N/A

    If you received this rank, would you devote hours of free time to play?

    Absolutely, gaming isn’t something I always get to do these days; but it’s great to put my time into not only something I love doing, but something I can help others achieve goals. 

    Tell us about yourself (hobbies, occupation etc):

    Spoilers from earlier in the thread I guess lol, I’m 6 ft 4”, 26 with 5 children (Crazy, Yes. Finished. Absolutely not :D). I like to play League of Legends (which no one guessed from my name), based on my name you would automatically assume that yes, I do indeed main Draven ;D. I’m not currently working, but as mentioned I am studying Cyber Security currently. Aside from gaming I enjoy playing Darts, Pool and Basketball. 

    If you were a helper..... 

    What would you do if you saw someone spamming?

     I would kindly remind them through DM that spamming will not be tolerated on any level and if ignored action will be taken if deemed it’s required.

    What would you do if someone was using offensive language?

     We all have an inner child that feels it’s necessary to use some choice words, so a simple reminder that this a kid friendly experience should do just fine.

    What would you do if someone was flaming a player?

    Flaming will not be tolerated by any means. I will defuse the situation immediately and kindly ask both players to continue playing the game as intended as a warning.

    What would you do if someone was flaming a staff member?

    Staff members shouldn’t get extra special treatment just because we’re staff. Depending on the severity of the flame, a warning that it’s unacceptable will be issued just the same. However, based on experience when people have issues with staff they tend not to stop with warnings because they feel so strongly about it, so a minor mute may occur in attempt to keep it from continuing.

    What would you do if someone was posting rude comments on the forums?

    The comments would be removed as soon as possible as well as the poster getting a strict warning against their profile.

    What would you do if you found or were informed about duped items?

    Immediately inform Harry and Nite about the bug. Attempt to get as much information as possible to see how it can be replicated so we can fix it ASAP as the possibility of a roll back could be required depending on the severity of the dupe, this all needs to happen as fast as possible to ensure the players don’t become effected.

    What would you do if someone was selling items in the help cc?

    I would calmly remind this player that the help cc is for help and that most other forms of communication should be done through the ::yell command.

    Do you meet the requirements for applying?

    Yes :D

  12. Name: Sam

    In-Game Username: Jinxstalock

    Discord Name and Tag: Jinxstalock (Jinxstalock#8005)


    Age: 25

    Country & Timezone (Include GMT): Australia GMT+10

    Average time per day spent in-game and at dicezone: Average time spent in-game daily is anywhere from 5-15 hours.

    Create a brief introduction about yourself: Heya everyone, I've been a member of the Bethlehem Community for just under 12 months now, I've really come to love the staff and the player base here; it's really unique to find a server where everyone just gets along, and is really nice :). I'm 25 years old, I have 4 kids and 1 more on the way 😄. I love just chilling around the server, farming my own stuff in my own time chatting to mates. I play a bit of League of Legends (who would have guessed that one ^-^), Overwatch and mostly just this at the moment. Currently recovering from surgery, so my game time is really on the rise right now ;D

    What are some of your strengths/weaknesses?: I find that my greatest strengths are Honesty and I'm generally a really nice guy. It really goes a long way being honest in every situation, even if you're in the wrong; own up and things will be okay. I've always believed in treating others how you would want to be treated, especially online when reading something can be taken so far out of context it's not funny. I like to be nice because that's truly who I am. 
    As for weaknesses, I can honestly say my biggest one is I forget the important things too often because I prioritize things the wrong way around xD. Weather it's chores around the house, getting to appointments on time or even eating or drinking for a day until the wife yells at me ^-^. I also tend to be a little cocky, and try to be right about everything. But I'm chill when I find out I'm wrong haha.


    Have you ever been banned/blocked from the forum, if yes explain why: No 🙂 

    Have you had any experience being a trusted dicer?: Trusted dicer, no. Ranked host, yes. On another server I could middle-man pots up to 200Q.

    Why do you think you deserve this rank?: I wouldn't use the word "deserve" to a degree. But I intend to put a lot of time and effort, becoming a friend to all in the gambling community win or lose, player or host. I try to be fair for everyone, and I put others first. I know the rules of the gambling games very well.

    What would you do if you see someone who got scammed (with no proof): This ones always a tricky answer, but I would simply explain to the player there are rules to follow in the dicezone as stated on the forums. You are allowed to self hold items at your own free will, as mentioned in the rules. However, without VIDEO proof it becomes an impossible situation of he said, she said. You are always more than welcome to message an admin about the situation, but unfortunately it will probably end with the same result. Please take more care in the future, and use a trusted middle man or staff member.

    What would you do if you see someone who got scammed (with screenshots): I would kindly ask the player to message an admin about the situation to provide their "proof". But explain ultimately, screenshots don't provide us the proof we need to enforce any required action and that recording their sessions via a screen capture software in the future is not only a good idea, but something I would strongly recommend. 

    What would you do if you see someone who got scammed (with video proof): Calmly ask the player to explain what has happened in detail to a staff member before sending video proof of anything. In the heat of the moment, things can be misinterpreted and out of hand. If the proof is indeed there, the best thing to do is to remain calm. Once your side of the story has been assessed, the "scammer" will still have the chance to talk to staff about what happened on their end regardless if you like it or not. That's fair to everyone. Staff will take action accordingly from there if required to do so, if the video proof "CLEARLY" shows exactly what happens.


    Do you meet the requirements for applying?: Yes 🙂 (I haven't donated $1000, but I am a Divine rank in game and very well known. I currently have 544 hours play time.)
