Current Rank: Librarian/Chronicler

What you think is expected of this rank: I think its very obvious no one is perfect, and that shouldn't be the definition for any expectations of rank. However sentries are people who have shown to be able to make fair decisions and strive for, if not perfection, being a better person. They may not always be 100 percent non-toxic, but it is expected they avoid being toxic to new players and in the main chat. They know when to stop someone from continuing, and when to promote good ideas. They know the rules well and can answer most questions off the top of their head, or at least direct the questioner to the answer. They help prevent toxicity but don't spend their time hunting it down and ruining the game for whomever is being toxic.

Why I should be this rank: I know it may not seem like it, but it's been a long time since that younger jmeatball applied for Sentry. I was in a bad place then and felt unwanted and wanted to make others feel that way. Since then I've learned to mature and not to be so self-absorbed. I took some time away from the server to try out my luck elsewhere and I have seen both the bad and the good. Now I'm trying to be a member of the community again and rekindle former friendships. I was a toxic wreck before but now I want to at least try to change and better than I was before. I was biased and I did regrettable things for personal gain and for the a small laugh, and the further along I go the more I realise it was a bad idea and it was time to stop. I've tried not to act desperate like before and say anything that'll bring me attention. Although I betrayed my former friends and they may not call me friends anymore, I'm always willing to apologise.
I've learned from seperate servers to respect the rules and know what its like to have admins heavily against you and heavily with you, and I know its not a good feeling. I want to expand the Loka community and actually finish some projects and become a better member of society.
I realise that I had my other application thread deleted and it may have not been too responsible, but the responses from there fueled me to be a better person and a better Lokan. Now I just want to see others succeed and make Loka a little like it used to be back in "my days". As in next to no toxicity, full of politics and rp, and full of fun-loving people which Loka is already known for. I truly do want to show that I've changed and this is a way for me to do that, so I think I should be Sentry to add my hat into the Staff fray. I want to add some color and different perspective to the staff team. I want to add not only a younger perspective, but the perspective of someone who's been on both sides of the spectrum, from feeling lonely to feeling wanted. I want to recreate my group of friends and I want to be known for good things I've done the server and a friendly librarian rather than a toxic former Axis member. I just want to show that I've changed and add a new perspective to the staff team

+1, he just wants to contribute to the server from what I've seen while he was in my town
 
-1. No Jmeat doesn't deserve to be librarian let alone sentry. He black mailed me about a book I requested removed from a library. In addition he has been inactive for the past month. I also seem to recall a previous application that was recently deleted and a new one made.

That sounds pretty serious. If you're willing to give a pretty heavy alligation I'd suggest you'd provide context, proof or report it if necessary.

The reason this is pretty important to provide context towards is something as important as former roles and duties would impact everyone's overall opinion undoubtedly.

EDIT: I should probably highlight the reason I see this as a heavy alligation is the use of the term 'black mail' towards a current server role/duty oh Jmeatball.

Alright normally I wouldn't respond to this but I feel the need to now add some context to both situations. I actually addressed why I had my former application removed within this one when I said

And while it may no be satisfactory to some, I just felt like I was a different person than before.
As for the whole blackmailed for a book thing, I never thought Steve would react the way he did. Before I had quit Cov and joined Axis him and I were really good friends and often played pranks on each other and worked together, if you want witnesses just ask Jamin or Heydood since we both served under them. Steve wanted to get a library book he wrote in the past removed from the library because, and I mean this in no offence, it seemed a little "childish" and was written quite a while ago. So I said something along the lines to him when he requested to get the book removed "I'll remove the book if you can get me 9 stacks of ink" since the library needed ink at the time. He was pretty mad about it so I told him to calm down and he started collecting the ink, without my knowledge, after I had to get off for an hour or so. The next thing I did was remove the book from the library, which I intended to do all along, and only save a spare copy for the archive. Then Steve walked into the library and gave me the ink sacs which I had not expected, so I went downstairs and grabbed the copy and gave it to him.
I understand that I'm mainly responsible for the whole incident since I was trolling him, but I still feel "blackmail" is somewhat too strong a word. Feel free to make your own decisions on this one, but keep in mind this was 3 or 4 months ago and before I took a break to recollect and come back with purpose. Sorry for rambling on and sorry to Steve if he felt I blackmailed him, I never intended for it to go as far as it did and was regretful after I did it.

I don't remember us ever "playing pranks" on each other. Maybe next year.
