In-game name: Art was the name of my first account but I am actively playing on North or Tea currently. One is a Hardcore Ironman and the other is just a regular Ironman.
Timezone: GMT-5
Time played: I've been on the Server since October 20th, i've played almost daily give or take a day or two off since starting on October 20th.
About yourself: Hey guys, my name is Dave. I am 24 years old and I am a career Firefighter/Paramedic. During my free time I enjoy gaming, any outdoor activities, watching movies, smoking cigars, and books. I have been involved in the RSPS scene since about 2005-2006 where I started developing and coding a 317 server with my Brother that was up for about a year or two before my Brother and I no longer had time for it. Since then I have been in and out of the RSPS scene over the years playing a multitude of different servers. I'm a pretty laid back individual and i'm not quick to lashing out or irrational decision making. I like to have a plan and I am a strong believer in the chain of command. I think it plays a vital role due to my career choice but the same can be said about a RSPS chain of command. My friends would describe me as a calm, cool, and a collected individual with a level headed thinking mindset.
Why should we choose you?: I think every applicant has something good to bring to the table and I don't think i'm necessarily any more qualified than anyone else. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Due to my work schedule I work a rotating schedule so my play time is all over the clock. I often find myself online when there is no other staff members. Sometimes my play time consists of 0800-2000 other times i find myself online between the hours of 2100-0500, it really just depends on my work schedule.
In terms of strengths that could benefit the server i'm a very patient individual and I am not quick to punishment unless if the situation requires immediate action. I have held a number of staff ranks on different servers in the past and I have been around the RSPS scene since the good ol days of the 317 era and I have a lot of knowledge. I am currently playing the Ironman modes and my knowledge of end game content may be limited but I have a maxed main on RS3 and since this is a RS3 style server I think I wouldn't have too much of an issue providing support.
In terms of weaknesses I do work shift work so sometimes I may not be on everyday. I also may be a bit lax at times as I believe everyone has a bad day and I tend to try alternative means either with a conversation or a warning than going straight to mutes or bans. However, if the situation arises where the safety of the server, community, or other members are at risk I take that very seriously and I will pass a punishment. Also, since I am quiet and a bit reserved I may not be as well known as people who are more extroverted than myself as I am definitely an introvert.
Like I said above, everyone has some good things and some bad things to bring to the table. I don't think i'm necessarily any more qualified than any of the other applicants but I do have some assets that would make me a strong candidate in my opinion. I think this is a great server and community and I would be ecstatic to be apart of a growing team.
Thanks for taking my application in consideration.
Dave
