Title: Crater's Mod Application

*gulps* Okay, here we go.

Which position are you interested in: Mod, Spriter, Artist, or a combination?
Moderator.

Why do you want to be a Mod, Artist, and/or Spriter?
I have noticed that many of the mods are not very active. Many topics go days without a reply. I want to be a mod and change that.

What makes you think you deserve the job?
I have owned an RPG similar to Sunerion and Element Destiny, so I know how these work. I am also on a lot, almost 24/7.

What experience if any do you have in this area?
As mentioned above, I have owned Evo Island and am currently setting up Kaiku Isles, a pokemon RPG that will use my combined experience of roleplaying. While Evo Island died because it was made around the time that Sunerion was very popular, causing members to go inactive, I still have a wide knowledge of modding. I've been admins at two other forums. Though they weren't RPs, they were still about pokemon.

Example(s):



QUOTE (RP Example 2)
Happy as a Blissey, I trotted through the fields. This was it. Today would finally be the day that the Pokémon I had adored for so long would finally become mine! I would make sure of it! Now if only I could find him...

o.o Wait.. I don't remember that tree.... or that bush...
.....
;_; "WHERE AM I!?"


As you realize you are lost, your feeling of joy begins to deteriorate. Being alone in unfamiliar territory is dangerous, possibly life-threatening. The tall grass seems to envelop you, slowly eating you alive. Strange noises call from all directions. The clouds of the sky even seem to be mocking your predicament. Where are you, indeed!

In the midst of your panic, a shadow slowly moves overhead. You peer up to see a Skarmory/Pidgeotto. The bird looked powerful, and...hungry! Its eyes were narrow and acute. Its wings, muscular and steel-plated. It screeched an eerie battle cry and dove straight for you, preparing a Double-Edge attack!

QUOTE (Battle 1)
My eyes grew wide as the Houndoom came racing toward me. Try as I may, though, my little Pikachu body could only move so fast. I dodged Matrix style as best I could, still being badly scraped up by that burning bite. The force knocked me completely over, so I finished the somersault out and used my tail to make sure I landed on my feet.

My small hand clutched my side, where I wasn't entirely sure, but suspected I had a bit of burn damage as well. Great.. Just what I needed- a burn from a Houndoom! As if mocking me, she laughed her seductive little laugh. "Had enough, little boy?"

I snarled and growled with frustration, static building in my pouches. "I'll show you! I'll show you all!" She wouldn't make a fool of me! Yelling with anger, I leashed the strongest Thunderbolt I could muster!


The Houndoom noticed the static building in your cheeks. At full speed, it dashed at you, fangs exposed, ready to strike your neck. It managed to reach a distance of only 3 meters, when you loosed your Thunderbolt. The lightning struck the canine at full force, subduing the beast. As the Houndoom fell to the ground, it looked up at you with a smirk. "That's all?" she asked in a sarcastic tone.

The Houndoom leaped to her feet, loosing a Howl attack. It made no haste in running straight for you. You could see the anger in her eyes, it was as if fury was emanating from her body. She was aiming to defeat you by any means necessary. But what could you do? "I'm going to finish this now!" she yelled, her mouth catching ablaze as she readied a Fire Fang.

Wow, a mod application from someone who acutally has grammar, experience, and read the whole application form!

I like the first post quite a lot. I always like a good battle springing out of nowhere.

The only thing that bothers me about the second one is the intent to kill. Unless specific permission has been given in a scene, we never kill off someone else's character. ... Of course, maybe I'm just overreacting a bit, and it's not that big a deal. I would still say change the word kill to defeat, or just drop that sentence altogether.

There's my two cents! I say we approve this one!

I typed kill? Whoops, I must have had another RP I was in at the time on my mind. I edited that part.

Ryua - November 7, 2008 03:32 AM (GMT)
Second post is much better now, with the word change.

In the first post, the description of everything is good, although perhaps you're moving just a hair into god-modding territory by commenting on how the character's mood is changing. It's very slight, and probably wouldn't be a problem, but many people get upset when a mod makes their character's mood or actions change. Maybe just word it differently, so you aren't directly controlling the character, but suggesting a mood instead.

craterfiend95 - November 7, 2008 04:05 AM (GMT)
Okay, I'll see what I can do about that.
EDIT: Is it any better now?

Ryua - November 8, 2008 05:05 PM (GMT)
I think you're good to go! I would promote you myself, except I don't know how. You'll have to be patient until someone else looks at the board, I'm afraid.

craterfiend95 - April 12, 2009 04:19 AM (GMT)
I think SG may have missed this one...
Ryua accepted it but was unable to promote me.

Yes, I know this is a giant bump, but I just wanted the topic to resurface, rather than a separate topic be made.

My skills have increased since I applied, and I would be happy to reapply if necessary.

Wow, I just realized I have almost no posts. I need to post more often.

'xD THANK YOU!!! *SHOT*

xP Please note Element Destiny does NOT have a "no bumping" rule. =P Inactivity happens. .... LIKE MINE. 'xD LOL!

Great app, and TERRIBLY sorry about the wait!! A much belated Congratz! =D

If someone had told me, I'm sure I could have gotten this done sooner. <<

Heart of Thorns - April 12, 2009 08:13 AM (GMT)
Because you totally were inactive as much as I was at that time and had no way of just looking for yourself, right? xD

Anyway, technically I'm the only one who's supposed to be able to approve these, remember? (Well, and Tasha if she were here, but she's not, so...)

Jaxa - April 12, 2009 08:36 AM (GMT)
SG, I never focus on the front page anymore, I stick to to online users/active topics, and we all know that Tasha aint coming back. <<

And hey, if you're totally inactive, we can't let these go unchecked now can we? At least head admin + 2 admins should be enough at least. :P
