How active are you in game? in forums?: Very Active in game. Active in forums as well. I am the Forum Moderator of the Question and Answer section and the Suggestions section

How long have you been with HypnoticStory?: A week or so, but from what I've seen, I believe I could help and could it in with the staff community.

What do you think you can contribute to this server?: I can contribute another helping hand. Anything Randy asks me to do (within reason), I will execute with time and efficiency.

Why are you applying for GM?: Because I would like to lend a helping hand to the community, and from past GM experience, I like how it feels to help.

Have you had any previous GM experience? Where and for how long?:

MapleSyrup: Was open for 6 months, was GM the entire time. (Shut down) v.55

PandaStory: Open for 4 months, was GM for 3 months. (Shut down) v.62

AsiaStory: Open for a year, was GM for a month. (Owner closed for unknown reason) v.62

What is your method for hunting for hackers? Go into hide, use !cheaters, check everybody on list, then afterwards go to popular hacking maps. Also, leave an open ear for players who see hackers.

how often do you think you should hunt for hackers?: Not necessarily hunt all of the time, but keep a vigilant eye open, and every now and then, go on a full out hunt.

How would you handle a hacker?: First off, I would write down their name, and refer to Randy on how he would like this situation to be handled (with screenshots of the hacking occuring of course). I believe I don't have the power to control the status of players on the server, I just keep an eye out and inform Randy of said situation. I would also Jail them until Randy has decided what to do to prevent further hacking.

Now if it's straight up damage hacking and it's obvious, ban.

If 2 people are arguing over SMEGA how would you handle it?: Ask them to stop, and warp them to a fm room to settle their differences there, rather than infront of everybody else.

If a player were to call you a "fail GM" how would you respond to that? or how would you retaliate?: I wouldn't care, because I would know what I'm doing, and they wouldn't, afterall, in that situation I would be the GM, not them, so who are they to judge? I wouldn't retaliate, I would just brush it off.

as a GM what do you feel is more important for YOURSELF? Having fun or Keeping the server organized and clean?:
I like keeping the server organized and clean, because that makes it easier to have fun for everybody.

Why should we choose you?: Because I have a lot to bring to the table. I can bring experience, efficiency, fun, and accuracy. I know I may not be the best GM applicant, but I am open to advice and improvement in my weak AND strong areas.

Why shouldn't we choose you?: Because of anything you see wrong with me or my application, or any flaws in my ability to be a Gamemaster in this server. It's your choice, I have no say but what I have laid out in this application.

Extra info you feel is necessary: I believe I have said all that has needed to be said. As claimed by William Strunk Jr. in Elements of Style ". . . omit needless words. . . keep it short and informative. . ."
