    Going to be honest with you man, shit does not look good for you. You're lying about what you were banned for even though we have ban logs saying that you were doxxing people (not sure if this is singular or plural). The fact that your English is incredibly inconsistent (terrible in OP, but actually readable on your profile) and that you pulled the "my dad died" card out of nowhere sends red flags. I can't say that you've really matured if you aren't honest in your own ban protest. I know I already gave my two cents, but this is a hard -1 for me.

    accounts match up, I don't think anything else really needs to be said

    that's a lie I didn't dox you have no proof

     

    Then please provide a proper steam ID or link to your profile and we can find the ban under the account. Those are the only bans that come up under the name "tykz."

    I know I can be a bit immature at times but I've been trying to work on that and I understand if people are skeptical.

    I can't really speak for how you performed as a staff member in the TF2 division since I wasn't exactly playing TF2 while you were staff, but I can say that what I've seen over Discord has been more or less positive. That being said, I have seen certain situations where you might have a little trouble keeping your cool- something you've already acknowledged, which at least demonstrates a level of maturity. It's not unusual to have a staff member show poor judgement, but I feel like if you're just a little more careful than most with keeping your cool it would do the Discord some justice to have you keeping an eye on the server since you pretty much read it all day.

    As a previous Discord moderator, I can assure you that the bot will suck major dick and learning how to use it will be a pain in the ass (pretty sure none of the staff members actually know how to use this one anyway, so try and be the first). If you're up to actually learn how to use the bot and you can handle upping the maturity when you're dealing with people, then +1. Just make sure not to join in on arguments, take care of them if they get out of hand. Not all arguments are bad, some are healthy and it's really up to the discord staff to discern whether or not they should step in. Generally this role is ridiculed much more than others, at least from what I've seen and personally experienced so growing some thick skin will be a big help. Please don't turn into a lurker staff member who forgets that they have discord powers.

    Initial Thoughts:

    I've been messing around with this game since sometime around December/January. I initially became interested in the game when my older brother was playing and I happened to be walking through the room. I have been, since time immemorial, a huge fan of platform games, beautiful soundtracks and art. This game really hits each of those check boxes three times over, I really cannot express how much fun this game is for me.

    Gameplay and Story:

    Note: Controllers with joysticks are recommended, as there are sections in the game that are just easier using the joysticks over a keyboard due to the keyboard's inability to move in certain directions.

    Celeste was built with speed running in mind. That being said, there are definitely shortcuts, and you know that there are going to be movement mechanics.

    • Dashing - Your character is capable of what is known as "dashing." Which, as you might be able to guess, is just increasing your velocity in whichever direction you choose (up, down, left, right, and every diagonal). There are plenty of ways to change up your dash, and to some degree you can control the height and speed of each one. I won't go in depth on how each type of dash works, just the main idea. Every way possible to change your dash is explained in the video following the final thoughts.
    • Climbing - There are times when your only choice it to go up, and sometimes your dash just won't make the cut. Off the top of my head, there are three ways you can go about climbing in this game; jumping between two walls (does not deplete stamina), holding your grab button and jumping repeatedly, or just holding grab and up. You can only climb on vertical surfaces, so no, you can't climb on the ceiling.
    • Stamina - Your character has a finite amount of stamina, that being said you can't just cheese your way through every single screen just by climbing straight up the walls.
    • Crystal Hearts -  One of each can be obtained in every chapter, along with two additional crystal hearts for completing every B and C-side of the main chapter. These are the only collectibles that are required to get to certain sections of the game (chapter 7 crystal heart, entirety of chapter 8, and the sub-sections of chapter 9).
    • B-side Cassette Tapes and C-Sides -  Each A-side, which is the main section of the chapter has a corresponding cassette tape that unlocks the B-side. B-sides and C-Sides follow the same theme as the A-side but are significantly more challenging. C-sides are unlocked by completing the B-side for that chapter.
    • Berries - There are varying amounts of these placed throughout the chapter, but some are rather difficult to obtain. Winged strawberries force you to abandon your dash until you're close enough to grab the strawberry, if you do dash it will fly off of the screen and you will have to reset the screen (not the entire chapter). Golden strawberries are obtained by going through a chapter without dying once, but you have to complete the chapter eight B-side before this is available. Winged Golden Strawberry is obtained by completing chapter one without dashing once unless you die before leaving the screen you dashed on, forcing you to do what is known as "spike-jumping," which is a wall jump, just very, very precise. There is one other type of berry, the moon berry, which is available in a sub-section of chapter nine, but is extremely difficult to obtain.

    Backstory:

    "Help Madeline survive her inner demons on her journey to the top of Celeste Mountain in this super-tight platformer... Brave hundreds of hand-crafted challenges, uncover devious secrets, and piece together the mystery of the mountain." - straight from the steam description

    The game is no longer going to be getting new chapters, as the game was concluded with the very recent addition of chapter nine titled "Farewell." Although I assume there will be bug fixes and such being rolled through every once in a while.

    Pros: (At least 2 reasons)

    • Amazing soundtrack by Lena Raine, even if you don't want to play the game you should listen to it.
    • Caters both to those who would like to relax and those who would rather have a bit of a challenge.
    • Includes an in-game completion timer, so you can keep track of that sort of thing and work towards a PB for a chapter.

    Cons: (At least 2 reasons)

    • Serious difficulty spikes
    • The game doesn't teach you any of the special dash movements until what seems like the very end

    Final Thoughts:

    This game, in my mind, is a masterpiece. Through the collaboration of the developers, artists, and sound team I think you'll be hooked almost immediately. It's a great game to throw down $20.00 (USD) on, definitely worth the price and is on sale fairly often. If you ever see it on sale, don't hesitate to buy it.

    Also hello again, I can't speak to how the tf2 div is doing these days but I am doing just swell, thanks for asking.

    Better than it was a few months ago (pretty much dead except for the occasional population on TGH and Surf), but still very lacking.

    Side note/edit: not the best place for me to say this, but I would recommend looking into training staff a bit more along with bringing in some more staff members with more diverse time frames. A few nights ago I was on for about two hours without seeing a single staff member. @hongkongatron @Tekk @ABlueSkittle123 (pretty sure you guys are the higher-ups in this div idk if I missed anyone)

      I was previously staff and stepped down from this particular division because I didn't really feel like we had a stable enough population to warrant me spending time on the servers when it's just not enjoyable. A nice, say, 10-15 people is kind of the sweet spot for me, and we just weren't reaching more than 6 on a good day. I feel like I still have a pretty solid understanding of the rules, so I won't be a complete dumb ass. Now that we have an actual population role we can pretty easily, which kind of nullifies my reasoning for stepping down.

      Understandable if you guys want me to wait because "I just came back," I just ask that you keep the thread open until you decide whether or not I'm still suitable for the position. : )

      PS: danny is a noob and darth's real name is "Owen One"

    • I have read the staff submission rules and meet the requirements for the division I'm applying for.
      Yes
