Questions
____________________________________________________________________________
What are some examples of your leadership and/or teamwork experiences: I have worked in many positions where teamwork and/or leadership is key. I currently work in a hotel’s restaurant as chef de partie, with this position comes the responsibility to lead a section of the kitchen and work alongside other chefs. Due to it being the shoulder season, the restaurant I work at is closing for a month, in that time I will gain experience with forming ideas alongside members of a team as we compose a new winter menu. I also have experience with teamwork online through playing games with others in which roles and communication have a strong presence.
What do you excel at: I enjoy many aspects of TOR and by extension the LOTR mod, through this enjoyment I have developed skills in building and PvP, these two aspects of the game are commonly divided, therefore, I am excited to offer my opinion as a player who enjoys both.
How familiar are you with the LOTR mod: Very familiar, I have been playing the LOTR mod for 5-6 years.
After 3 years of procrastination, I finally took and passed my class 5 (Full License) road test.
What is your current role in the community: I am active on the server and try to help newer members of the community by providing tips, I am also active in the server's Discord where I often look for opinions on builds, and contribute to the server’s market. I also use my time and experience on the server to provide new concepts and ideas.
The last time you found yourself in a disagreement with another player, how did you approach it: A friend of mine was recently trapped, both he and I disagreed with this and the player responsible as the trap’s legality was questionable. We tackled this by communicating with staff to find a legal way to save him from said trap.
What do you think needs improvement: Overall I believe TOR to be in a good place, however there are a few things i believe could be improved such as, an increase in communication and help from staff on player made events, an increase in community polls; the community and those in it will naturally change over the years I believe semi-regular polls to be a good way to see what players want, staff activity, I have both heard of and experienced a lack of activity from staff, this sometimes leading to a dwindling interest of TOR (people love fly and WE), and lastly attention to the lore item gallery (its often outdated which can and has led to arguments.
What motivates you to continue playing and to apply to the staff team: I really find myself enjoying the time i spend on TOR, it works as a great way to relax and escape for a bit. I feel indebted to the community and wish to try to help increase everyone’s overall experience of TOR.
