Leasaur for Sentry #2

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.

Age: 13 (omg please don't judge :? Age is no guarantee of maturity guys.)
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. :)

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.
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: )

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.
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:
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.
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.

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.

Atra esterni ono thelduin,

YES!

Yes. I am not just saying this because you're my friend and you're awesome, but you really would make a great Sentry. You always explain to new players the Trainee Course, "Welcome to the server! Please complete the Trainee Course to be unmuted." That is a very good idea, I think. You're a wonderful member and leader of Dellsmite, and I think you'd be an amazing Sentry. Yes.

PS For those of you who don't speak the Ancient Language,

May your sword stay sharp, Lea.

I believe that you are ready for the sentry promotion. In time we all may be ready, but it's not the vote of the common wealth to make theses kind of decisions. You must earn your way to the top of the totem pole, and mark your place in the sand. But who am I to say anyone is ready for anything. With great powers comes great responsibility, are you ready Leasaur?

May you triumph in your future, never forget you past, and leave hurt behind. Take revenge when needed, and grace of failure too. For all you know, tomorrow will be you last. Make it count, never hold back on what you truly hold in you heart.

Oh my feathers, Laz. This is wonderful. Completely inspiring.

Full support AS LONG as you don't go around MOpyc'ing around and kicking people indiscriminately. However I doubt you will and will trust that you will not use your admin powers (sentry = best admin rank evah) to give yourself an advantage over other players or the game.

"ANYWAYS" -Lea
"Caps" -Jedi

Kick Message: "I'm honestly not worried about one letter in caps."
*Jedi logs back on*
"Uncle Opyc, you're not supposed to kick people for warning about caps." -Jedi

Hrm. I will say you've been active, and you do go out of your way for newer folks. I think that a certain degree of maturity is required (Hence the random kicking for trivial nonsense) I think if you can keep your head on straight, you wouldn't make a bad sentry.
(As douchey as this sounds, I'm giving my support.)
