Hmmm, essentially we're looking for people who put in effort into their applications. People that use incorrect grammar, misspell words, or just have incomplete/utterly retarded sentence structures are looked down upon by the higher staff. We're looking for dedicated, knowledgeable and trustworthy staff. Honesty will get you far. I would rather have a shitty honest admin rather than a popular selfish admin. An Admin that has the guts to come up to the owner and confess to his mistakes and takes the punishment like a man will most certainly soar through the ranks. And if they learn from their mistakes, that would just be the icing on the cake.
As far as the application advice, besides what I already said, just be more active on the forums. Take hieupham1999 for example, he has like 20 forum posts. The one thing we value most is the forums. Because even though if the server goes down or whatever, the forum and it's people can come together and do things. Like, play another game, talk about problems/issues, socialize, make friends, everything. That is our goal. And anyone that helps us achieve that goal, mainly by being active on here, are always recognized by staff members and others on the server.
There's so much more, but this is all I have time to type.
