How long have you been on the pokemonserver: I've been on this server for 1 Year and 6/7 Months.
How many/which Badges do you have? 8 Kanto & 7 Johto Badges
Why would you be a good mod: I think my impact as a mod will be incredibly useful to old and new players alike. Just like I do on the animal crossing server, I will try to make the server more enjoyable for players - individually and as a whole, while also catching cheaters and punishing people who have done wrong. I'll offer some more ideas up to the table as talking vaguely wont show you why i'm worthy of the job. A long time ago when I first joined, entertainment wasn't much of a problem because there were already objectives for players. Eg. finding the hidden spellbook or training. There are still things to do on this server, however I think that new players find the amount of opponents and their opponents skill levels & advantages incredibly off-putting - This is why I think we rarely have new players break through the boundary of being a Trainer and become an Elite or one of the hardest Gym Leaders (I haven't seen this since SorasAngel became an Elite). Not everyone does this, but I remember when I joined I managed to slide into a cosy spot of 2nd Elite Four member and I did it in just over a month.
So my plans are to host events which will get people more interested to participate in the server. I hopefully plan to ressurect Sunday Night Slaughter & Finally I will try to map out ways to make the server more enjoyable without the constant hosting of events by admins. One of my ideas was to change the prizes for surviving in Mob Arena because nobody really enjoys a Storage Minecart.
What do you plan to DO as Mod? Do you just want the pretty rank? Tell us WHY you want it.
Honestly, I feel left out, I do want to help players and the server as a Moderator, but as well as that, It kills me to be one of the last people crossing the finish line in terms of achievement. I have seen people come from almost nowhere and become Moderator & Admin. I remember the times when the chance to be even a Moderator was as thin as a fibre, now after seeing all my friends work their way up the ladder, I want to join them and assist them in making this server more enjoyable for everybody.

Besides these, I have extensive experience with using console, FTP clients to upload and edit files and other server managing tools.
And finally, I want to emphasise how my dedication to other servers can also benefit my time on this server, as I know of many other people who are good candidates to join the Moderator/Admin Team in the future, either because of their witty & funny personality with makes them a hit with the players, or their knowledge of running a server and their ability to make difficult decisions. I see no end to the benefits that all the new Moderators can bring to the server.
