Would I be a Good Admin?

Estrella* · 06-03-2017

Hey, I am thinking of applying for staff. Actually I already did. I'm wondering if I would be a good administrator. I understand you think I am new... Which I am to the forums. I have been approximately active on graal for 7 years on Graal Classic though. I'm 13 and I know my application might be immediately denied due to that, but I am still wondering if I have what it takes.

You've been playing Graal since you were six years old? I never heard of anyone playing it that young. Anyways, we don't know you, so we can't really judge whether you'd be good or not. That you're thirteen isn't going to go over well to a lot of the forum members, I can say that much.

Saeed?

I don't think anyone can judge you since nobody knows you, being pushy about it is probably not the best approach, also starting at 6 seems unlikely and will probably make people think you are lying.

How long you have played isn't really important as long as you know the basics and have general knowledge of the game, I would just leave the 7 year part out because it seems like a reach and unbelievable and will just cast doubt on your application.

I used to be in your shoes.
However, asking these kinds of things (the "would i be a good admin yes/no") are generally off-putting to those that hire staff. The admin title has been highly glamorized for some reason, I find that those who are willing to volunteer their time but don't take their ranking too seriously make the best staff members.
A common sentiment among former staff I've seen is "don't become an admin just to become an admin", which I don't necessarily see in you -- you do seem to have an interest in helping people (but not sure if that's just to help your chances of becoming staff, I hope not anyways). Your age doesn't necessarily help, but it hasn't been a limitation in the past (not sure).

Overall: 6.5/10

I have been approximately active on graal for 7 years on Graal Classic. I was honest in my application and admitted I was 13 years of age. Do you think they will deny it or accept it?

I believe you just make it over the age limit so it all comes down to your actual application. Age shouldn't matter to much as long as you didn't leave any questions out, write a load of useless stuff, repeat things etc.

Good luck though!

Also are you familiar with Graal RC and Playerworlds?

Oh, it's in a different thread now, so I'll give a different answer as expected. Yeah dude, you'd probably be perfect, go for it!

My younger cousin exozo is currently 8 with 500 hours and has been playing 3 years however he lacks certain things that a normal player has: social skills, reading skills, knowledge and other things along those lines.

I just wonder why he made the thread again, I assumed it was because he didn't like the responses from the first thread.

If you think about it what would I gain by lying? I do love helping people. That's why I am on the forums, I don't blame you because I know people do that so they can be cool and be able to kick anyone they want, but I'm not biased so I wouldn't ban anyone. Thank you for your honest and best opinion. I also love how you put it in a nice way instead of saying "You would be a terrible admin"

I'm not that familiar with Player Worlds. But I can ask my friend about it if need be. He was an admin of player worlds once.
