Why do you want to be a Bethlehem staff member, and why do you feel you deserve this rank? (200 words minimum)
For me its simple, I was going through a very difficult time personally when I first started to play this game. The people in the community and the staff online made me feel very welcome. Helped me learn the game, and was a very important part of my recovery. id very much like to be in that position to offer someone else the same warm welcome I received. Being in the GMT time zone, one thing I have noticed over the early to mid morning's on the weekends, is we don't always have support available. I would like, if given the opportunity, to bridge this gap somewhat for the few players in the same, or relatively close time zones. Not only this, but I enjoy the game. I like the fact the community is close and supportive of each other, and I'd like to see that continue to grow and be a part of it. I've played online RPG games before, some for many years and I know how intimidating it can feel sometimes to beginners especially with private server games or those that are unsure at first about playing, having a person there to help you through the early stages of that can be the difference to them coming back as a repeat player, or even suggesting to others to come a join.
What are the top 5 qualities that you think a Bethlehem staff member should have
Much like being a Manager, I believe you should be Supportive, Approachable and Trustworthy. You also need to be Vigilant and have the ability to remain calm when under pressure or faced with a difficult situation. Above all else, you need to be a role model to others around you.
Have you ever been infracted (Muted/Jailed/Banned)?
No
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?
Yes
Tell us about yourself (hobbies, occupation etc):
My names Gary, I'm 31 years old, Married with Children and I'm a Manager at a bespoke Motor Home Manufacturing company based in the UK. My main hobbies are Gaming, Pool and embarrassing my children Infront of their friends . however I also play Snooker and Golf (more of a sunny day golfer though) and I like to spend money I don't have the wife would say.
If you were a helper.....
I would actively look to help and support other players around me, help them grow into the game just like I have. Including other staff members with facilitating events ect:
What would you do if you saw someone spamming?
I would take them to one side away from other players and remind them of the rules regarding such behaviour, I would then use my discretion based on their reaction on whether a verbal reminder is sufficient, or a temporary mute depending on the nature of the spam.
What would you do if someone was using offensive language?
Similar to the above, again using my judgement reading into the chat as to whether its offensive to another player, or just general chat or banter, in which case a simple word should suffice
What would you do if someone was flaming a player?
This is different, Flamming "typically" come's from a reaction of emotions. People not exactly thinking clearly and just reacting in the moment. in this case I would give them 1 warning to stop. Should they not do so, I would mute them and tele them to a secluded zone where I could better handle the situation and address the matter in a calm environment. This would then be reported to a more senior staff member depending on the severity of the Flamming.
What would you do if someone was flaming a staff member?
Similar to the above, however I would speak to the Staff member direct myself before stepping in, offering them support should they require it. (Depending on the nature, obviously if its very offensive I would step in to calm the situation regardless)
What would you do if someone was posting rude comments on the forums?
Id ask them to stop and if I have the ability to do so, id take a record of the conversation/comments before removing it. Then bring to the attention of a more senior staff member.
What would you do if you found or were informed about duped items?
I would record the date and time immediately. I would then report this up the chain to more senior staff. In the meantime I would gather as much evidence as possible so we can conduct a thorough investigation.
Do you meet the requirements for applying?
Yes I believe so
