ENT Gaming

Name: Masamune
Age: 19
Game moderator specialty (see below for choices): NWU + DotA

Brief introduction:
Hello everyone. It seems you all know me through either reputation or through constant antagonistic forum involvements. First, I'd like to start off with a formal apology to the NWU admins (Yonda and matdas) and art)y for griefing all of you with these flame wars and NWU drama. That, and my constant flames in the ban request/appeal sections. Azog, Nuts) and I have settled our disputes and now we are acquainted with each other fairly well. I can speak two languages fluently but I doubt it will be needed for this bot aside for English or Spanish. I have my personal translator @ChronoTrump to decipher Spanish for me, so that is a plus! Despite the controversy a few months ago, I am sure matdas now has a good judgment of me now seeing as I had played several games together with him. I am friends with a moderate amount of people such as the members of Sage, Leaf and Edo. I am also friends with MuZk and Anzure - the people responsible for creating NWU. I am possibly one of the most active forum lurkers/users.

Overall playtime: I have been playing ever since the release of Warcraft III and have actively played it from 2005 to today.

Current Time Zone: Eastern Standard time, but I practically stay up for 18 hours either tabbed out, real life or Warcraft III.

Describe any relevant experience, both in moderating and in Warcraft III:
I unfortunately have no experience in moderation or review of games but I figure I could try out something new seeing as I am always on this forum more than I am on Warcraft 3. I have a fairly good idea on what the game rules are and what attitude I should display. I do, however, have experience with bot hosting commands. But do know this, I will never abuse the !mute, !kick or !ban command in any situation even if I am angered. I will simply ignore them if they are flaming me. Aside from this, I could have Around teach me the required knowledge I need to know for this position.

Why do you want to become a game moderator:
I want to primarily become a Moderator to host inhouse games when Matdas, Yonda or AtW are not around. I can easily get 9 other people to join the game without delay. Aside from this, ENT is short on NWU/DotA admins and therefore I'd like to ease the workload of said admins by reviewing and cleaning out the request/appeal topics. I have participated in several requests regarding on the players judgment. Regrettably I have not participated in any appeals aside from my own but I will do my best in doing so now.

Ban Requests I have participated in or made:

What will you bring to the ENT/Warcraft III community:
Hopefully, I could bring peace and prosperity to our little community but we all know its not true since there will always be disputes or complaints due to the competitiveness, egos and pride. That's why I'll do my best to prevent any drama, flame war or form of antagonism of occurring in-game or on the forum. Also, the community knows I am most likely one of the most hardheaded (because I never give up ) of the top 10 NWU players quoted by @Lucci <3. I am overall respected for my skill, teamplay and somewhat twisted humorous mannerisms. I can gather a large amount of friends for an inhouse fairly easily therefore I will prove to be an asset.

Closing Statement:
I again apologize for past inconveniences, bickering or grievances toward the NWU admins and to Nuts) + Azog) when we had our flame wars. As much as I like to troll and flame other people, I am willing to put this aside and become a mute in-game like LucAs). I will only point out rule-breaking or call SS when I play in-game. I am friends with ChronoTrump who speaks Spanish fluently and I can always ask him to translate Spanish. Thank you for reading my application. Cheers.

I guess admins around here fall sort of under the same age categories, so their repulsiveness towards people is understandable, so I guess your position as a candidate will be more or less valuable to this community. Good luck on your application I guess lol

So your closing statement says: Either troll/flame or "acting" muted as admin?

First off, he is active that is guaranteed. However we barely receive many ban requests only for NWU and usually AroundThaWorld handles those but since you say dota included I will be willing to further consider this. I can also use an active hand for the nwu ih league which we know right now is failing quite hard.

Note as an admin you will be stalked, you will be flamed at, you will be bitched at and also constantly asked to be unbanned and asked many upon many questions. Will you be able to handle yourself very well. Remember Etiquette is key and we want politeness/non-flame/non-troll we already have enough of that combined with ID and Lihl.

He played 2 dota games in 2Months i think he put that for make you consider "this".

That still does not matter, if he knows the game of dota and can process requests that is a bonus. If he ends up not knowing and lies that will not look good for him either. I used to play only dota for a while and not NWU does that mean I still did not know how to moderate it? No incorrect, amount of games played entirely on a game is irrelevant compared to if he has knowledge to do the work

He dont have request at DOTA games so i dubout.

@Art)y

Well you caught what I meant. I didn't really know what to put for a closing statement so I just thought I'd put an insightful comment. There are those games where I stayed completely silent and never talked at all aside from calling out MIAs. If you have ever seen LucAs) play NWU, he literally never talks in-game aside to his friends. It is an option to avoid flaming, and I am considering it.

@Yondaime
Overall, I think I played about 10 games of DotA. I definitely know the basics and I definitely know if someone is cheating or throwing a game. If you want, I can literally just start playing DotA (not LoD but the regular version) more actively. As for the flaming/troll matter, I usually am never serious on Warcraft III. However, I am polite and honest if I am serious. I can certainly provide proper etiquette and manners at all instances of time. I have no problem being flamed, bitched at and stalked - I've dealt with it my whole life so I'll have no problem handling this everyday. Also, I will help you as much as I can for the NWU IH league.

EDIT: I am currently having problems with my Internet right now and am experiencing frequent disconnects. Just a heads up.

@Darwinalth-
I don't have any requests on it because I don't actively play it. As Yondaime said, even if I have literally 2-5 DotA games played in one year, people can still understand the actions and motives of players.

@Agreements
That is a question that I am prepared to answer for since I was expecting it. Two of the forum warnings (by Yondaime) have been about generally flaming while the other two was spamming in the request section with useless content (Art)y). Azog and I are now on good terms - we do not flame each other anymore in any of the topics. That drama is concluded and there will be no more following after it, I hope. I apologized to both of those admins for those inconveniences. What I have obviously learned is that I must follow the rules or consequences will follow suit. Clearly this means each choice I make IF I am promoted as a game moderator will have a repercussion on the ENT staff. But as I said before, I can control my urges to flame/troll people no matter how tempting it is. Matdas has already seen my performance in-game in the one game we had in the inhouse league and a few other public games.
