Why would you be a good mod?
I believe I would be a great moderator of this server for a few reasons. I've been a member of this server for three years and in that time have gained knowledge of how the server works. I myself have been dedicated since I first joined, and have known the server as a second home. I try to be as active as I can on the server, even when I may be busy with other things. I believe to be moderator it is known that you must invest time and work on the server to the best of your ability, and I feel as if I have a tremendous ability to moderate the server.
Being on the server for the amount of time I have allows me to know how the server functions. I believe I know of all things related to this server, especially the rules. Since I joined, I admit that I have been on both sides of the rules. I have broken some, and this in particular has helped me to better understand them, being on both sides of them. This allows me to, if I become a moderator, enforce these rules and ensure that they are followed, to keep peace.
I have always thought of myself as someone that does not get agitated when asked for help. I myself find helping people to be a pleasure, and if it is not sufficient help then it must be brought up a level. If I ever become a moderator, I will ensure that I help players as best I can, in the many ways a moderator can. This includes helping new players, as their first impressions of the server are important. Sure, many leave a few minutes after joining, but it is not just to ignore them or make fun of them nonetheless. I am able and since joining this server have been able to welcome all new joiners and explain the server to them.
Additionally, I have many years of experience of minecraft and pokemon, the two main topics of the server. I have been playing minecraft for over five years now, and pokemon long before that. This allows me to help anyone with a question pertaining to the two. I have a vast knowledge of plugins on the server, as shown on my list further down on this application. This allows me to be able to explain plugins and commands to players.
I'm a very calm person these days, especially since this is a block game on the internet. I can keep my cool when threatened or attacked, and do not hold grudges. Even if someone has been rude to me or annoyed me, I will not be biased against them in the future. This includes friendships I may have on the server. If someone I am friendly toward breaks a rule, it is important to still penalize their actions accordingly, and I will. I try to be friendly towards all, and to help all, even today. I'm also not a two-faced person, and am not rude to people behind their backs in private conversations.
Furthermore, I have had experience moderating servers in the past. These include smaller servers to larger servers that gained over 150+ people. Granted, I am no longer a staff member on these servers today, due to various reasons, and that gives me more opportunity to dedicate myself to the pokemon server as a moderator. I also have had experience working at a summer camp. The job in particular has given me more experience then I could have hoped for in terms of being a leader and helping people.
What do you plan to DO as Mod?
If I were ever able to achieve the rank of moderator, I would do things mentioned above in "Why would you be a good mod?," including:
- Moderate the server.
Yes, this is a big one, if I am ever a moderator I will be sure to moderate the server and keep my activity as high as it can be.
- Help new players.
This goes under "help players" but I decided it should be it's own point. Anyways, most new players are confused as to where the pokemon are, and rarely read signs in Oak's Lab. As a moderator, I will be sure to assist new joiners by explaining every aspect of the server, how the server runs, what to do, and basically anything they ask.
- Help Players.
Wow, I should have put this closer to the top of what I plan to do. Anyways, helping players is a key aspect of this server. Without help, players will get frustrated and leave. My knowledge of the server will help me to help players. As I have said before, I will help players even if I am busy.
- Help settle disputes and conflicts.
I don't like to watch fighting, especially over the internet. As a moderator I plan to help others as much as possible to not fight eachother, even if it means giving some of my personal items that I own on the server (If they aren't too valuable...)
- Supply players of the server with houses or VIP Rooms and evict houses.
Even if this may not be a responsibility of a moderator in the new maps, I am still able to give and evict houses to players with my knowledge of worldguard and the formula for house costs. Also includes making it for others to be unable to open doors, trapdoors etc. there.
- Host Elite Fights.
As a moderator I will host elite fights, even if I am busy mining or building. If I am preoccupied with another player, say buying a house, I will speed up the house process in order to accomodate the players aiming to duel eachother. I am aware of how elite fights work and what is illegal.
- Notify admins of things I am unable to do myself.
Say someone wishes to claim a gym, I will notify the admins about them IF they have the requirements met due to the fact that I am unable to use PEX to assist players with the ranks of GymLeader.
- Catch Hackers, Xrayers, and other illegal mod abusers.
Hackers are never fun in video games, they ruin the game. As a moderator I will make sure players have fun and ban the abusers up to three days after gathering proof of what they have done.
- Explain how to achieve or attempt to achieve certain ranks etc.
This includes how to install pixelmon, become a gymleader, become an elite, become the champion, etc.
- Host tournaments and/or events!
This may not be a part of required things to do as a moderator, not quite sure, but hosting tournaments will make the players happy.
- Enforce the rules.
If rules are not followed, chaos will break out. It would be best to maintain peace on the server by enforcing rules.
- Be active!
This is an important one, if this does not happen on my part many of the notes above will never happen.
- Lastly, I plan to be a role model for others.
Players look up to moderators and staff sometimes, and it would be bad to set a bad example.
What plugins/commands are you familiar with? I know a fair amount of plugins, some of which may/may not have any relation to the server. Keep in mind that I do not have these plugins memorized, and I am human and forget sometimes, but can easily remember and am great at referencing commands online.

Can you moderate the server, and demonstrate your ability by moderating your own application thread? I've had experience moderating servers in the past, and I still am able to today.
Do you have teamspeak? Would you be willing to get on it? I have teamspeak and will be willing to use it, but I have no mic. I use skype more often then teamspeak however, as I find it easier and more efficient.
Thanks!
