Current rank: Slicer

Which rank you are applying for: Sentry

What you think is expected of this rank: Sentries of Loka are important to keeping the server civilized while Guardians+ are not able to be on. Sentries are expected to watch and moderate chat when members are breaking chat rules, be it spamming, cursing, or talking in caps, and warn/kick those that are continuing to offend if need be. Members of this rank also have to keep updated on server events via the server forums and the text discord, as well as report any rule breaking or possible instances of greifing/xraying that cannot be verified by a sentry to Guardians+.

Why you think you should become this rank: Though calling some of my antics on the server since my joining "mildly" trolly would probably offend some calling it a vast understatement, I try to help new players where I can with questions they may have, and I have a little fun with members of enemy towns in chat, but when it comes to answering the questions people have, I don't attempt to confuse, I try to answer as best I can. I also report bugs where I find them, and attempt to put forward ideas for balancing game mechanics when they fall under scrutiny, I also spend a lot of time on Loka that i can put to better use for the server as a sentry, and even when not specifically on the server, I am usually in discord and can be sent a message by any players having trouble, or discussing issues others may be having on the server which I can then report to a Guardian if I can't help that user resolve the issue themselves.

When you started playing on the server: I believe it was either late October or early November of 2015.

Time zone: EST

How often do you play (hours a day/week): On weekdays I am often on between 3 and 5-6 PM EST, often I end up playing later, though there is times when I just pop in for a few minutes, I usually spend at least a couple of hours in discord with town members or playing other games with other Lokans. On weekends I don't typically spend time out of my house, so I'll spend anywhere from 3 hours to most of my day on Loka, or otherwise with members of Loka in discord.

A Small Note for Those Reading: I'm leaving a note here as I feel that many may instantly disregard this application if I do not. Some may do so regardless of what I say simply because of my history of raiding and taunting with spruce embargoes. Although, I have, since joining the server, loved the conquest system and pvp in general, and while it may seem trolly or annoying to a lot of people, I have found that raiding people and taunting in chat, getting people upset with me is an effective way to draw them into the conquest system. It may not be the best way, or the most friendly, but it's my way, and I will not deny that I find joy in the idea that I've made people mad at me or my town, as it gives them something to fight for, and gives me conquest fights, more pvp, and a goal to focus my attention towards while I am on the server.

Killing new players and raiding new towns within the week they set up is not how a sentry should act. The trolling and general insulting others is also a problem. I'm going to have to say no to this one. +0

To be fair, Jedi, you mention killing new players and raiding new towns, the most recently that I raided a "new" town was raiding Eldritch with Gab, I kill members that may have joined within a week to towns that have been existing for a while, and I raid towns that may have recently been set up, but that have been set up by members of towns that have existed for a while (Arxem) members that, having been on the server for a while, should know how to protect their resources from raiders.
 
I'm not going to say I support this application because I am yet to hear of multiple incidents recently where you've gone out of your way to help players, yet I've heard of (and experienced) times where you've done quite the opposite.
Apply again next round of promotions and I will support you as long as you (continue to) turn around how you play and act on Loka. Best of wishes <3

Bat and I have done fun stuff back in the day, some I regret but most I don't. Raiding Eldritch for example was something I'm glad I've done. Now they understand how to protect from other raiders and I made friends with most of them! If I had not done that I would think differently of Eldritch. Most people just don't understand how they think, but I know inside that they are good people. Raiding just helped me get to know them better :p!Though Bat has done wrong things and I don't fully support him, just think of all the good he can do as Sentry. He obviously has to be less of a troll if we want him as a Sentry, so just take that into consideration.

I agree with this. If he was to become a Sentry, the trolling would definitely have to be reduced.
