Application [Shaiya]

[Cups]

Foreword:
I understand that I do not meet the 300 post count requirement. If this cannot be overlooked, that is understandable. I am not currently involved in a private server project that is advertised, however I am involved in a project which will be released open source for the community of Shaiya to continue developing, and run their servers.

Introduction:
My name is Triston, and I am 21 years old. I speak exclusively English, so unfortunately I cannot help the lovely German folk that might frequent the forum, however the majority of the time, I assume that Google Translator would be enough to get a rough understanding on the thread, and perhaps good enough to put together a coherent response. I was previously studying an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, but it has been put on hold while I work (currently working as a manager at a local bar).

Contact Details:
I can be contacted though Elitepvpers private message (I check my emails associated to this account every morning), or through my Skype, which is "triston.plummer"

Why am I applying?
I like to tell myself that I have a pretty sound understanding of the rules here at epvp, and I can generally tell when something either doesn't quite match the requirements of a section, or perhaps a program is uploaded to the forum which doesn't do what the user claims it does. At the moment, I believe Shaiya has either no moderator, or an inactive one, and I'd be happy to change that, as I frequent the forum daily anyway.

Experience with the game:
I first started playing the game in 2012, and played it off and on since then. I got involved with private servers during late 2014, and joined here in March 2015, after a friend of mine suggested that we give Shaiya Development a shot. I begun developing simple scripts, and when I realised how cumbersome the development process is (for those who don't know, Shaiya private servers currently use stolen server binary files from the official game), I decided to attempt to change that, which is what sparked my interest in developing . I know the majority of how the game works, it's features, and the players involved.

Thank you for reading my application. In the past, I've made a few releases that were somewhat damaging to existing private servers. Such is the life of having a "Hack and Exploits" forum. Though, I have since moved on to trying to improve the development of the game, and perhaps give it some life. I will be happy to answer any questions in regards to my application, or my motives behind becoming a moderator.

You must have at least 300 posts so that we can assess you properly.

I hope the post count can be dismissed because I think Cups would make a great moderator of the Shaiya section. Having known him he is a very friendly person as well as hard working, once his current project is completed it would IMO create a massive change in how Shaiya servers are created and run, and the fact he is making it open source is amazing, in Shaiya terms it is like Volvo not patenting the 3 point seat belt for the benefit of others.

Full support from me good luck.

Me and Cups have had our differences in the past, but I am confident that he will make a good moderator for the Shaiya section, as he appears to have just enough time to dedicate to such a small section, possesses plenty of knowledge related to how Shaiya works, something the previous two Shaiya moderators scored 0/10 at, and last but not least, can be very professional when the situation calls for it.

Lucia9986, I mean no offense, but Cups's low post count points to the fact that he reads first, and then posts if he deems it necessary.

I don't know how seriously the elitepvpers administration takes this one requirement, and no one should expect a team of people who want to be taken seriously to deviate from their own rules, but I do believe exceptions can always be made.

Requirements were not provided for fun.

Gl anyway.

There has been a lot of spam in the Shaiya section ever since moderators disappeared. There are daily useless posts in all of the shaiya sections that aren't being taken care of.

That being said, I believe Cups would make a great and much needed moderator. I won't say anything that hasn't being said before, but I think it would be silly to disregard his application because of the 300 post requirement when such section is in great need of moderation. Cups would be of great help to everyone because of how knowledgeable he is of Shaiya and how helpful he has been in the past for me personally.
