Jace Mod App

What is your Minecraft name?
My Minectaft name is xPistol. My list of Minecraft names goes from:
-bAckstAbbEr3971
-MaroonSpectre
-CaribbeanGamer
-XxHoodNiggaxX (Joke Name)
-xPistol

This is a forum mod app, so we should care the most about my forum name - Jace

Why do you play Minecraft?
I play Minevraft because it is a fun interactive game based on blocks. I do not play Minecraft that often anymore, however, I do tend to pop on every so often whether it's playing with a friend, checking on the game, or chatting with people. Minecraft Chat is the main reason I joined, as it gives you the opportunity to chat with players from around the world. I am not a big Minecraft fan anymore, so I just hang out on the forums every so often. I like to negotiate with topics on the forums such as debates, general chat polls, etc. I find the forums a fun place to be in because it gives me the chance to chat with people without a Minecraft chat limit. When there is nothing going on, I like to skim through the forums and look at key topics or old threads. So, yeah.

What is your time zone?
My timezone is Central Standard Time (CST). In UTC terms, it is UTC-6.

When are you usually online?
I am online throughout the whole day, except for late a night. I'm never online between (3:00am-10:00am) during weekends. On school days, I will never be online between (12:00am-7:00am). Again, I am on the forums the entire day, just not at those times.

How many hours a day can you play? How many hours do you actually play?
I have a little activity for you. Figure out how many hours I am online during weekdays and how many hours I am online during weekends. Use the information above to find your answer. What did you get?

It is 17 hours on both weekdays and weekends! Yeah. That is how many hours I am normally online on the forums.

How long have you been playing SquadCraft?
The Stone Age, since that's when Noah was considered to be "young." Ahh, I was joking there.

I have been playing on SquadCraft since August of 2013. I learned about this server from Noah's video of Skywars when he was recording with ASFJerome and BajanCanadian. To make this simpler, I have played on this lovely server for over 2 years. That's when JFK was assassinated guys. Historical fact. Just kidding on the JFK part.

But yeah, I have been part of the community since August of 2013

What's your favorite memory on SquadCraft?
My favorite memory was when YouTube famous, Bodil40 trolled me. It was a Skywars Evolved map. I miss that server so much. Last year, I always played as the Creeper kit and blew up my teammates whilst towering up to build a sky base. The funny thing was that when I blew them up, I would get points for killing teammates. It was amazing.

I was going off topic there. Anyways, I remember killing Noah in a SkywaysEvolved map, and a few minutes later, Bodil40 started flying around me with Minecart TNT's. I tried to run away from him, but he unfortunately blew me to little Jace pieces. One of the biggest trolls on YouTube trolled me.

Where do you spend your time at SquadCraft?
I spend most of my time on the Forums, as it is a fun website to be on. Sometimes, I hang out on KitPvP, to talk to friends that are on the server at the time. Overall, I am on the forums the most.

Why do you want to be a moderator? What is your goal as a SquadCraft moderator?
My goal as a Moderator is to fix some problems on the forums, mainly, unread reports, server improvement threads, and applications. There are tons of reports or mod apps waiting to be read, but nothing ever happens to them. I understand Tarik being a Mod Manager, but he can't fix all of this alone. Well, either way, he is a mod manager, so he can fix the mod application problem. However there has to be someone watching over the forums as his main job. That is what I am trying to do. I would like to be a forum mod as I am constantly active on the Forums, so I could give out basic information on the website, fix problems, or help someone on the forums that needs help. Honestly, many people see all these quitting threads with EA_Sharks, PukingRainbowz, Emuturd, and Apollo11MC as a server tragedy. To be honest, I think of it as a new beginning of some sort, as if we can be a new server with new moderators. Also, I can tell there will not be a lot of arguments, as many of them were because of one of the quitting mods. Maybe the server could get a fresh start, and try new things. No one knows what it is like to have Jace as a moderator. Obviously, I have never been a Moderator on SquadCraft. I've seen many new mod opportunities for active players, such as Fruity, smeagolz, and LostVayne. Why should we not get a Forum Moderator? And what better person to choose than Barack Obama. Maybe I could be SquadCraft's first black moderator, just like America has their first black president. Hahaha.

As a moderator, how will you affect SquadCraft?
I will affect this server greatly. I have been a part of many big things on SquadCraft. One of them was recent, however I will not go into detail and it would only spring hate. Speaking of hate, man have a changed since late Febuary. I remember being that forum troll. Honestly, I'll admit I did aim to troll people on the forums back then. But here is the thing, I thought some stuff was hypocritical. How come back then in December, a lot of people loved it when people trolled SC, yet when SS started dying, everyone got defensive. If I got hated on Spring for trolling, how come people in December idolized the SC trolls? Anyways, after that, a former mod got in. Since I was anonymous, I thought it'd be okay to take opinions too far. Yeah. I took it way to far with it. After that, I tried to act nice, but it was sad to see how that former mod treated me, even after I said sorry. Sad thing was that if it was a moderator, why didn't he/she try to stop the problem. Well, he/she is gone now, so we should move on. Overtime, people began to like me more and more. A lot of people currently know me as someone who got rid of the most popular forum user. Just saying, Tarik already clarified that I wasn't the main reason she got demoted, so let's just move on. Again, I took her demotion as nothing big. We just have to move on. It's not like SC is ruined. In my opinion, it's better, since there will not be a lot of arguments. Overall, I will affect SquadCraft positively. I am a smart and funny guy, and I love make people laugh. I get alone with anyone. I respect everyone, FadilyCraft. I hardly hate anyone, so if I do hate you, you must have to try hard to do so.

Do you want Mod just to have Mod next to your name?
attachThumb16084 No, said every person that applied, including me. A prefix, is just a prefix, even though it is needed on the forums. I don't take a prefix seriously, as it only shows "power." It could be cool to have mod without it. You could act stealthy to expose hackers. Ha... But anyways, no, it is not a big deal, therefore, a prefix isn't a serious case.


What happens if you are not chosen to be a moderator?
People will have bad impressions of me. I know a lot of you know I tend to argue a lot. Although, it does benefit me, as I am on the Debate Team, and I do very well on it. Off topic, again. Honestly, if I get denied because of the "Old Jace," you could practically deny me forever. I base a mod app off of what happens within the two month period, not overall. I got my mod app denied in June. I had little to no issues within the two month wait.

EXAMPLE: Let's say a hacker applied with a good application, and got denied. Within the two month wait, he does not hack, and he practices PvP with friends during the time. If he hasn't hacked within the two months, and applied again with another good application, I would support him, as he has fixed his mistakes within the two months.

If I got denied, I would fix my errors within the two months, and apply again after the wait. It is as simple as that.

What kind of skills do you have?
I am very persuasive. As I stated above, I have a passion for arguing, and I am on the debate team. I am good at persuading judges to support me. On the forums for example, I managed to persuade people to stop blindly listening to a former mod, and to have a voice of their own, so they could share their own opinion. With my persuasion skills, I managed to get a lot of people onto my side.

I am a healthy person, and I always make the right choices. I like to stay fit, as I enjoy walking to restaurants nearby, and play sports with friends. I have never gotten in trouble at school. Not even once. I always to the right things, I have a lot of supporting friends IRL, and I get good grades.

Have you ever been banned? If so, why?
No, I have not. I have been punished a couple times before though.

I spammed something in Skywars 1.5 years ago. Received a kick from the server.

I swore after getting killed by a hacker. I was kicked by Katniverse.

I do not remember any more times I got punished. I forgot the others, as it happened in Spring of 2014.

I have been warned on the forums a couple times by EA_Sharks in the past though.

Have you ever cheated, used hacks? If so, why?
Yes, I have. I hacked on McPVP Hardcore Games. McPVP transferred to Brawl.com in May of 2015. I eventually got banned my a moderator. I bought an unban, and never hacked again.

How do you treat younger players?
I normally treat them like I'd treat normal players. Spoiler Alert: There are some young kids that are much more mature than older ones. They should get treated normally like a normal person. Just saying I hate people who call hackers "little kids." Hey, you don't know the age of the hacker, so stop saying stupid flames towards him/her. You could be a little kid yourself. I don't make fun of hackers. They're just people who use clients to have fun with. I just ignore it and let the server deal with them.

Do you use TeamSpeak or skype?
Yes, I do have a Skype, however I do not use TeamSpeak. If you wish for my Skype, PM me. I won't share it out to public.

List the things you've done to help the SquadCraft community and the SquadCraft server.
I have donated $100 to the server when I had the name "bAckstAbbEr3971". Each of the purchases were worth $50. I donated for Diamond Kit on Skywars and Creeper Kit on Skywars Evolved. I have reported a couple people on the forums as well.

How many applications have you submitted before? When was the last one? I have submitted 8 applications, including my MaroonSpectre account. My last application was on June 18th I believe.

Is there anything else you would like to say?
Not really, no.

Do you have any experience as a staff member of any organization? (doesn't have to be Minecraft related)
I have worked at Chick-Fil-A in the past. I was a cashier. I did a good job as one. I treated each customer with respect, I gave them the correct amount of cash, and I was a friendly person overall. I am going to apply for a job at Target this week, as I am looking for a job during the holiday season. Target is still searching for jobs, so I thought, why not give it a go and earn some money there.
