Not sure about this one, folks. Chorale has displayed some severely disturbing comments about his power hungry attitude, especially for the position of GM.

 

 

 

Given the recent power grabs he's attempted, combined with the massive number of applications he's submitted in recent history, I'm very concerned that Chorale is striving for red, yellow, and green tags, as opposed to actually contributing to the community and our players.

 

This screenshot, taken about a week ago, doesn't help either. 

 

 

 

Chorale claimed that his OOC reputation is poor, but only because of his character's personalities. I could care less about the quality of Chorale's RP, or what personality traits his characters hold, but that isn't the reason I disapprove of him. He then proceeded to state that he, "liked yelling at people for breaking rules," which he very quickly deleted, but not before Ren had quoted him. I'm not so thrilled about the prospect of allowing any player on the staff team who claims that they take pleasure in the act of punishing players for breaking the rules.

 

My only concern on this front, for the reasons stated prior, is that Chorale will intentionally nitpick applications, hoping to deny them. That could be speculation on my part, but the screenshot taken above is awfully concerning.

 

In addition, I would heavily question Chorale's judgement. He holds very, deeply held religious beliefs, which I cannot and will not shame him for, because subscribing to a certain religious ideology within itself is no crime. However, it ought to concern many people when the individual in question advocates for some awfully grotesque policies, and admits that their religious ideologies could interfere with their staff duties.

 

 

No matter how hard it may be, ignore the slavery aspect of that screenshot, that isn't nearly as important as the former bit. When you hold your deeply held religious beliefs, but openly admit that they could easily interfere with your abilities to proficiently evaluate applicants, that's a major issue, especially when you acknowledge it.

 

To sum up my claims, I believe that Chorale is severely unfit for any staff position. I think he's a valuable player within the community, but I do not believe that he is suitable to be an AT, GM, LT, or participate in any other staff department. He is, more than likely, only applying so that he may receive the potential reputation as a staff member. His judgement is extremely clouded, and I believe that he has some maturing to do before being allowed a position within the staff team, in any manner. In regards to Chorale's ability to properly understand the lore, I don't doubt that he may have a sufficient understanding of the server's lore, but that's entirely speculation on my part. I'd just like anybody who's considering to support Chorale to read and digest my criticisms, first. 

 

These screenshots were all taken about a week ago, by the way.

Ah, Liam - Glad to see that you've commented.

Let's start out with the first part. My "power hungry attitude" - *Clears throat* -

Might I mention that this is a meme chat, first of all? http://imgur.com/a/q74mA

Might I mention, That memes are a mockery of a certain person or behavior?

Did I mention that this is a meme chat?

Also, I'm not an evil person. I wouldn't deny someones application out of pure mischief. I may act an evil bible literalist in your opinion, But I can disagree on the other end.

Now that I have that out of the way, and we've settled that my "power hungry" behavior is ridiculed, Along with my urge to yell at people to breaking rules. Let's move onto the second part.

The tags, First off - The AT tag is pink. 

My reputation -

This is fun for me to tell, as it is for you to read. Let's start off when I first joined the server, about a year ago. I was around 12-13, and I had just gotten accepted. I was excited, and - Yes; I made big mistakes that stick with me today, such as - For one, I was a known powergamer. For two, I was a very irritable child, I was one that would oocly yell at you for making typos. I was the one that would yell at you oocly for using incorrect punctuation, and etc. I was just an all around, Horrible player to be around. I had stopped playing for a little bit, and I came back at one of the worst times, in my lifetime. This was the time where a very close relative passed away unexpectedly. You might ask why i'm sitting here, typing this out right now. Is it because I want pity? No, It's not. I'm telling you about this event because it was one of the most horrible things to ever happen to me. LotC cheered me up, and when I returned, I was mourning the loss of said relative. I was agitated easily, and I broke easily. This lead to me not having the best reputation, because I would call GM's up to do stupid things, that were highly against the rules. You can read my apology here, About a month ago; I posted this. This loss took place about two months before this post. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/152316-im-sorry-chorales-apology/#comment-1438794

Anyhow, My reputation gained slightly over the weeks, until I started to regularly start talking with the people in this meme chat. I told them about my ooc self. I told them about my religion, I spoke to them openly about my beliefs. Yes, We did have a very weird few conversations about topics on things, such as my religion, and beliefs in swear words. Yesterday, Oh boy. Yesterday, An anonymous extra pulled some quotes from a long time ago, and it showed an older version of me that I didn't like. What did I do about it? I contacted a moderator because this anonymous person wouldn't remove the quotes before others saw them, Like I had asked. I got really mad, and I think I might've contacted three or so moderators. Anyways, What I'm trying to say out of this, is that - Everyone can say they've made mistakes, Everyone can say that they've screwed up. Nobody's perfect, and - A few staff members that we have right now, are nearly the same way. To sum this up, I believe that I have had many mistakes to learn by, and I will continue to learn by them. 

About my beliefs:

I am a bible literalist Catholic, yes. That part was not memed. I don't believe in slavery, That part was memed. However, I don't believe that just because of my beliefs, that I should be denied as a person. Come on, It sounds silly when you're like "This person shouldn't get this because he's a catholic." - Now then, My buddy Ren and I, We joke around with each other all the time. Shoutout to you Ren <.< - I do joke about Rens' sexuality a lot, and even though I might not believe in his sexuality, I am still like; best buds with him. This being said, If someone were to mention atheistism in their application, Of course it would be denied. Not because of my opinion on said religion, but because it's not apart of the lore. Do you get what I'm trying to incorporate into here? If not, Let me just summarize it, Using Ren as an example. Even though I might not agree with his looks, or his decisions on these things, We're still friends. I don't hate him for it, I don't look at him differently for it. We tease each other all the time about one-anothers beliefs. I'm not hurt by it, Because; Frankly, Everyone has an opinion, They're all different. No one opinion is just like anothers. I've come to learn that, Over a few years on the internet. 

On my inability to be any staff member: 

I don't think that i'd be a bad application team member. This is because, My opinion ties in with myself, Of course i'm going to agree with myself on everything, doesn't everyone?

If an application team manager is reading this, and you most likely are: 

A trial run would be great. That's one thing that I'd love to see. If my inability to do anything on the team fails, You can rub it in my face, or screen all you want. Although I know that a trial run is most likely never going to happen, It's always a possibility. I was just putting this idea out there, I'll more than likely make a post about it later, explaining it more indepth. 

About my maturity:

Now then, My maturity reflects in-and-out. I can be super mature at some times, and super - well, immature sometimes. Not immature like, making sexual jokes or something like that. Because of my disbelief in swearing, and lewdness, That'd be more than hipocritical. If I were "my age" immature, I would be yelling at Liam for his response, but instead - I'm just pouring my feelings into a response.

That about sums it up, Thank you for commenting - Liam.

I'm sorry for any typos, It's 1:00 AM

MC Name: Chorale_

Skype Name: You have it, I'd rather not put it on the forums.
 
Timezone: EST

Age: 13

Do you have Discord? (you need to): Not at the moment, I will get it, however.

Do you feel that you have a solid grasp on our lore and an understanding of the application standards?: I feel that I have somewhat of a grasp on the lore and a definite understanding of the application standards.

Why do you want to be an AT member and do you have the ability to work and collaborate with others?: I want to be a member of the AT, Because I can look back to my application, and remember being so excited about a response. When I got the response, I was very happy, and I want to be that person... The one that makes others look forward to coming home, and logging onto the forums, to see that they were accepted into the server. However, If needed, I can also be the bearer of bad, unfortunate news. I do believe, in my opinion, that I have to ability to work and collaborate with others.

Beyond reviewing whitelist applications, what ways do you think you would enjoy helping new applicants?: I think that I would enjoy showing them around, and helping them start their roleplay adventure on Lord of the Craft. Another way I would enjoy helping other contemporary applicants would be by giving them roleplay tips, and things of that such, that I used when I first was accepted.

How do you think the server’s application process could be improved?: The server's application process is flawless, already, In my opinion. The response time has definitely improved from when I was accepted into the server, It took me about 3 days for implementation, followed by obtaining acceptation. I now see people whom are accepted and implemented within a day, if not less!

Is there anything else you would like to add or that we should know about you?: -Shrug- I don't know... I am a helpful person, if that's worth adding on. I'm also not a firm believer in using swear words, so I wouldn't constantly say them to try and be funny, like some of the current staff.

Tell me a joke: A neutron walks into a bar, and orders a drink. When the neutron gets her drink, she asks, "Bartender, How much do I owe you?" The bartender replies, "For you, Neutron, No charge"

Considering you're going about trying to tell chats about how biased I am and so on, creating screenshots to back it up and trying to aggravate me, I'm going to leave it open for people to see.

Very well then, I will get an FM to hide it.

It's part of your job to tinker to players needs, and this is a need for me.

Now, you can call Wrynn a biased liar if you want, but I doubt he was lying about that, as you even acknowledge that you had to pay Elven yourself in that second gyazo.

 

 

 

Elven and I are speaking, I ask that you hide this post. Thanks

I distinctly remember you telling me you would pay for the horse instead of taking a ban.

When did this take place, I ask? TheElvenMage claims that Wrynn handled such 'situation' that supposedly occured.

17 minutes ago, TheElvenMage said:

The only reason you weren't banned back then is because you promised to pay me the horse. Now you're abusing Wrynn (The GM that handled the situation back then)'s innactivity to try and lie your way out. 

Another thing, I'm sure that the GM's logs might be able to go back that far if they were willing. I'm not sure however.

I'm sure we can find some way to get ahold of Wrynn, or someone else can. Until then, I'm asking for proper proof.

20 minutes ago, TheElvenMage said:

"Recently" You have indeed not killed a horse recently, as you've been stalling paying me those 600 minas back for 3 months. Then, when a GM tries to force you to pay up, you, in an absolutely ridiculous manner, that you didn't do any of this. 

Paying you back 600 minas for a horse that I supposedley killed 3 months ago... Hrm, Shouldn't I have been banned 3 months ago when I 'killed' the horse in the first place? 

Seems like a very unwell thought out scam to me, However - If I killed a horse 3 months ago, Do you not agree that the moderator should've banned me right then, when he/she/they looked at the logs? I think so. This proves that your thesis is incorrect. And, As i've had about 3 horses killed in the last month, All 3 of those occurances happened with 1. The GM pulling the logs, 2. The GM telling me who killed it, 3. The GM banning the person right then, not 3 months after - But right then. 

Now then, Do you see where I'm getting at?

Alright, So I just returned to my computer from a quick breakfast, and I get a prompt, saying "No RPing a horse, lying about paying back for it and then lying to a moderator. 3 weeks with appeal. -HB"

https://gyazo.com/d2eed21144e0543785532602611b58f5

I'd like some solid evidence that I killed a horse, Please. Recently, I've not killed a horse, but had MANY of mine killed. Also, Tahmas - Or any other administrators, if you could please contact me in DM's - That'd be grand.

Thanks!

I do plan on making an appeal, Depending on what the administrators have to say about HB's banning a player, with no solid evidence, Or providing the player ANY evidence, infact.
