Hi everyone!
It's been a while since my first Sentry app, which I think got locked due to the fact that it wasn't replied to for a long time. Since we've now got a new world (twice) and recent advertising has brought in a lot of new players, I think this is the right time to try again. I know EpicBacon has brought to light the fact that all of our Guardians seem to be off on Christmas holidays, and maybe one extra Sentry would help keep the server under control until they come back or some players step up to the Guardian rank.
I'll be referencing some of the material from my other Sentry app so we can all see what I've learned since then and how some of my views have changed.
Time on Loka: I did a little research, and I believe I've been on here approximately 20 months, 6 days and 2 hours. I joined at the start of the Fall of Capital, and have been moving from town to town ever since. I'm currently in Dellsmite with Lazuli73 and MinecraftJedi127. In short, I've been here long enough to get to know the server and how it works.
As always, if you want to know anything more post a reply with your questions and I'll be happy to answer. I would really like some feedback - even if I don't get Sentry it's always nice to know how to be a better person. Please don't turn this thread into a trollfest or I will feed you to my pet cat. Seriously.

I'm actually 14 now, I had my birthday in September. I doubt there will be any age maturity issues last time, as Jedi covered that brilliantly in her sentry app, and I trust in the server community to not judge people.Leasaur said:Age: 13 (omg please don't judge :? Age is no guarantee of maturity guys.)
Yep, I'm in a tricky timezone. Can I also point out that I am one day ahead of everybody as well: this was posted on the afternoon of the 20th December. For most people it can be really late at night when I log on. BUT, since I have school holidays for the next few weeks, I can log on earlier, so I see a lot of the server in my timezone, with the exception of most UK players. (Sorry Mop D: )Leasaur said:Timezone: New Zealand Standard Time, I think it's UTC +12 with daylight saving. For people like me with no idea how to figure out timezones, I'm the same as Computern and very close to the Aussies - Luci and Mumillie.
A lot of the time I hear people refer to Sentries as "chat mods", because a Sentry's main job just concerns the chat, and to warn players about chat rules. Something else I've heard is that Sentries help keep an eye on the server while higher admins are offline, so they can sort out the smaller issues and keep track of the bigger issues until a higher admin comes online. And as always, welcome new players. I think this is relevant in our new world, because we are having a lot of new players coming onto the server and asking for help.Leasaur said:What do you think is expected of this rank: Well, there are a lot of new Guardians around lately and they have supreme admining powers, so Sentry should support them. By this I mean help them make decisions, welcome new players, sort out stuff like spamming etc. Also, not abusing powers is a biggie for this rank, as Sentries aren't qualified as neutral.
As I said, I think we need a few extra Sentries to help with new players. I'm familiar with the server lore, gen mechanics, rules and politics of the server. I feel ready to take on the rank of Sentry, and I hope you agree.Leasaur said:Why do you think you deserve this rank: I always try to be welcoming and friendly to new players and show them the wonders of the Abandoned World. I would use the Sentry rank to take that further and be a familiar face to players who need help. I've been playing for countless months on Loka, and it's always awesome to see new people grow into dedicated players here.
