Are you currently Admin/GM on another sever?
No, not MapleStory Related.
MineCraft, Yes
Left 6 Dead, I own it personally.
Why should we pick you?:
I have been working with MapleStory servers since I was 16. Game Master Career started when I was 18, no doubt, the most mature age usually starts at that point for some people, others, not so much. Mainly work on nights hunting for any bot users, hackers, or cheats that think no GameMaster is online at the middle of the night. This is where people usually try to avoid getting caught by playing on maps that are full of EXP driven mobs.
Methods involving taking screenshots/video capture of the hacker, before initiating the ban. That way, if he escapes, administrators can ban players directly from database, otherwise, if player was banned in time and tries to deny it, screenshots/video will prove the case against the player. Alot of players now-a-days say "Screenshot, or it didn't happen" common Meme line right there for alot of ban-offenders, so this is why I take bans seriously enough to take the time and capture them live or screenshot them (such as damage shots, or visual proof hacks: evac, Vacs, mobvacs) to get them busted.
After that, either the Ban has been executed, or requires a higher up to prevent the player from returning.
Aside from Ban/Player Safety jobs, Events are the secondary thing I may do with permission and allows of the limitations in question, such as spawns, item giving, rewards, etc. Depending mostly on how well the server works, and if the proper things done do not affect the server in any real threat, it shall be done. Otherwise, most events will be low-ended, such as collected random items in a contained map (Like Mario Party style events) and then giving them to the Game Master for the reward. Events will be held weekly, if not, monthly.
How active can you be?:
4:00 PM - 2:00 AM
Most of these hours may be interval-ed within time frames. The time I can be active can also be suggested or ordered by Administrators and the owner of the server. We can always work something out at times.
What can you improve on this server?
Player balanced without the cheaters having any advantage or attempted to escape their crimes. This is already a server going through development, why bother more with cheating? The game is already cheating for you. Cheat Engine, Trainers, and some of the nasty hacks out there have made private servers vulnerable to these things, its a good idea to hunt for these and use them as an admin to detect them being used on players. That way, a staff members is aware of the functions that a trainer does and can easily spot them on-sight.
Something about yourself(positive AND negative):
Most of the information is already above, I spend most of my time in front of computers, literally. I do repairs and build them as we speak. Yes, I have specs:
880G Asus Motherboard
AMD Phenom 955 BE 3.2 Ghz
GTS 250 NVidia Card
8 GB Ram (16 GB Max)
The above specs are actually somewhat outdated now, I have a more powerful cpu and gpu at this time, irrelevant to MapleStory due to the fact that this game does not even utilize 10% of all this.
Servers You Own:
Left 6 Dead - Left 4 Dead Community
RelaxCraft - MineCraft Server - Small 8 Player Community Only - DEAD
Everything Else, on board.
I personally run a Left 4 Dead server with RPG/Gameplay elements and have the same style of staff such as Game Masters.
PS: This would be the first time using any version higher than v111.
