Tell us about yourself: Your background, etc, anything you're willing to share with us. Let's us know you a little better, on a personal level.

Well, as you know I'm 17. I'm out of high school but not looking to go to college just yet. I'd like to say that I'm a nice person, when I'm around my friends I like to joke a lot and entertain but i know when to be serious. I'm not really shy and I like making new friends seeing as i don't have many. [:
I love to go rollerblading at this rink near by whenever I get money, I am obsessed with computer games, mostly FPS games but a lot of the time I like to just relax and play some League of legends with buddies or visit old friends on Maplestory. I'd like to say that Maple is now one of the games I play the most right now, with DoodleStory back up and seeing all of my old friends again. I missed you guys!

In your opinion, what is the ideal GM?

The ideal GM would be someone who knows how to keep a server under control. For example, Not letting arguments get out of hand, Hackers dealt with ASAP, Players aren't abusing glitches, and events should be set-up in ways that no one can cheat. Someone who is friendly to all players no matter what sort of past relationship/friendship or even disagreements they've had with another person. Also, it's not just about keeping the server friendly but also keeping it active. Getting new players to join, helping with bugs or even coming up with new ideas for events, prizes, rules, and ways of making the server more exciting while at the same time getting people to keep playing.

An ideal GM should be dedicated to the server and be active. Everyone knows "some" people have real lives and have to go to school in the morning or they go on vacation, but they should be on at least a few days a week constantly helping people and learning more about the players each day to make a better community. But, being dedicated doesn't just mean that you're active, it also means that you'd do anything to help keep this server the best it can be. Examples of that would be like, Knowing when joking around is appropriate and when you have to take responsibility as a GM by doing your job.

To be an ideal GM you have to be really committed and calm because having to be serious sometimes can be a bit stressful, but all jobs are eventually going to be stressful. It's a hard thing to have to deal with peoples problems every time you log on or while you're having conversations with friends, but the job comes first and if you're really committed you'll know you have to take responsibility as a GM by doing whatever is needed, the players always come before your own needs.

How are you unique?

I believe I'm unique by my personality, I'm very weird and random but in a way that doesn't scare people away. I'd like to think that my randomness is sort of interesting and funny. I'm not the type of person that will open up easily and it takes a while for me to trust people. Trust to me isn't just being nice and friendly, but that you actually care about what the other person is saying by listening and understanding. Something else I believe that's unique about me is that, no matter if it's someone I know or not I try my best to help out with problems, whether it be relationship issues, family problems, or just that they're feeling a little depressed. I always put other peoples happiness before my own because I know how hard it is to not have anyone that understands what you're going through.

How do you think DoodleStory could improve?

DoodleStory doesn't need improvements it's perfectly fine how it is. With the server wipe coming up and whatever Tamara has being planned i expect it to be really impressive. This staff is filled with hard workers and the server is full of dedicated players that are really nice and fun to be around.

What do you think about the current GMs?

Well, I don't know much about these new people. But i'll give a little description about what i think so far.

First, there's Eunsol. Mannnn, this girl is like the nicest person you'll meet on DoodleStory. I haven't really seen her as a GM yet, but when i used to play she was always very friendly and helpful towards everyone. By far i believe she is one of the best.

Second is Aaron, He has a personality that anyone can like. He's got to be the most fun out of all the GMs i've met. It's always fun hanging out with him on Transformice or going to his awesome/complicating JQs.

Now, Liam i don't really know much about. Just that he's pretty active and he kinda just sticks with a group of people. I haven't really met him other than from winning JQ events. So i can't say much.

For Carolyn, it's pretty much the same as Liam. But i actually got to talk to her the other day and she seems a bit friendly.

So then there's Anh. Anh has always been a hard worker and a cool guy. He's probably one of the chillest people you'll meet here. He's responsible, smart, and he is committed, which are really great qualities to have. Based off of what i know from last year, this is really all i can say at the moment.

Last, is the most important person in this server. Her name is Tamara, she is the owner of this amazing server and without her this great community would not exist. She's an extremely hard worker, she's friendly which you never see with owners these days, and she is your Master! Obey her!
But anyways, Tamara may be busy dealing with server issues most of the time though she makes time to get to know the players and help out with pretty much any problem/question we have to ask/talk to her about.

During what times of the day will you be online?

I'd like to say anywhere from like 4 am to around 10-12 at night. It really all depends on my schedule but I'm usually on my computer 14 or more hours a day seeing as school is out.

How long have you played DoodleStory?

Well, I've played for about the last 4-5 days recently? But I played about a year ago for around 2-3 weeks, maybe it was a month I'm not sure.

How will you have a positive effect on the server?

I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help make this server better for everyone. I'm experienced with commands, how to host events, and I know my way around the server. I can positively effect the server by just being there to help out with any problems a player has. Whether it be just a question or if they need some advice on a certain job / training spots. I'm very good on advice, I've played MapleStory a really long time and i know pretty much everything there is to know about the game. I'm very open to suggestions whether it be new events or ways i can improve myself at all. I really don't take offense to criticism, I find that if someone is going to say something negative about you. You might as well take it into consideration to change whatever it may be, because you never know how it can affect your life or what people think about you.

Why did you apply?

I applied because i feel as if I could help make each day more entertaining for the players as well as, keep people from being bored when there are no events or when training gets too tiring. I want to make their days more exciting instead of everyone just sitting around having nothing to do. Also because I can be online whenever I'm needed to help with hackers or problems in general like characters stuck or arguments between players. I'm always on my email so it's really not hard to get into contact with me.

What characteristics do you possess that make you a good GM?

I'm nice, friendly, i love helping people, loyal, very active, I'm a hard worker, I'm patient, I don't get annoyed very often, smart, caring, I know when it's important to be be mature take responsibility and take things seriously, i never take a joke too far.

To prove you are human, when Littlefoot's mother died in the original `Land Before Time', did you feel sad?

I don't have emotions. -troll face-

Anything else you'd like to add:

To everyone who has read this, I thank you for taking your time and being patient. I know i type a lot so i appreciate it and i would love for some criticism please. Love you all [: Now to wait for posts...

I'd suggest using either 1 or 2 colors in your application. Don't use 5, it makes it look less stylish.

I like it to be colorful. Appearance doesnt matter on the App anyways.
