In-game player and tribe name: <Soloxor> (<Slaughterhouse>)
Steam ID: <Soloxor>
Are you comfortable with voice communication?: <Yes>
How many combined hours, to your best approximation, do you have invested on our servers?: <PvP: at least 2500 combined hours>
Do you have any previous experience administrating or managing any form of community or organization? If yes, where or what?: <I have no experience managing online gaming communities. IRL I work with youth as an associate advisor in a Veturing Crew associated with the Boy Scouts of America>
Why do you think you'd make a good addition to the PVP admin team?: <I think my past participation on the PvP server as a simple player, and as the leader of a megatribe, lets me offer insight as to how PvP players game the rules and perceive the admins. My experiences here showed me how nasty players can get in a PvP scenario. My experiences elsewhere showed me how vital an active administration is to the overall health of a PvP server. I think both those combined will prove to be valuable to the PvP admin team. >
Do you have any experience dealing with difficult people? Do you believe you have the personality to preserve a calm and professional attitude with difficult players?: <I have experience dealing with inter-tribe politics as an Ark player, and am verbose beyond the norm when communicating through the forums and discord. I explain my point of view in detail and try not to leave any room for misinterpretation in my arguments. The job of the admin is to enforce the rules and the spirit of the rules are being followed, nothing more or less. I feel like the best response to difficult players is to either listen to their frustration in a passive manner, or ensure their complaint is something that matters to us as a matter of the rules and such. >
What level of daily time commitment do you think you can afford to spare?: <I can afford to expend a good deal of time in the evenings, for the most part. I am a college student with a good deal of free time when I’m not studying, so I like to monitor Discord when I’m not playing. I also tend to have Ark open and leave something on my crafting key while I study at the same time. >
What timezone are you located in?: <Eastern Standard Time>
Do you have a particular skill (technical or otherwise) which you would be willing to lend for the betterment of the platform? If so, please explain: <I have no particular technical skills beyond being adept at using google to troubleshoot issues.>
Any additional details you would like to include?: <I learned to play Ark here. I’d like to contribute my time to ensuring PvP here survives and thrives. I’m, for the most part, a reactive PvPer. I don’t raid unless I’m raided and I enjoy breeding and taming and supporting new players. If you accept me as an admin, I’d likely act as something of a charity for new players on the server, while at the same time building a counter-force against pests on the server.>
