There were many more mini-ranks, and congratulations to all of them! I also have the same job as Maniac, Cyberwolf got Master of Xats pools, Wheeler got timezone master, Cheep also got this number-related rank, I don't remember what it was, Rasberry got Master of spies, and Mico recently got High Shrek Priest or just High Priest. Not sure if there were any other ranks, but nice news and congrats to all who got ranks, and I cannot wait for the Marriage of Damen and Sofie, I like that cheese ring Damen gave to Sofie, so irresistible.

Resignation ~ Angi

3rd May 2015, 10:31 AM
I hope you have a wonderful journey, Angi. You have done very well, and I hope to see you every now and then so we can chat, because you are a very excited and enthusiastic person. I remember the first time I met you. It was Damenball 2014, and you were on the green team. I saw that you were winning, mostly because you were blocking the goal and getting it in, and you eventually won with your smarts and how you outwitted everyone else with your tactics. I remember when you first became moderator, and we needed many more, so Damen chose 5 of them, and one was you. I remember all the fun times we had, where we chatted it up, and you have given me so many memories. Thank you for being here, I wish you luck with your life, and grades. Farewell, Angi

You have not been active for a while, so do not expect to get a rank so quickly. Ranks don't really matter, I see why you want to be a knight, but just wait a couple months, it will not happen immediately or after a certain period of time. You will need the requirements, and applications aren't always the way to earn a rank, even so, your application looks like it needs to be better. Things you should include in a regular application are things like experience, age, why you should have the rank you are applying for, you should have good grammar, you need to be a bit active, follow the rules, and those are just some things you will need. Even so, you will not get it right away, so please do not complain. Good luck on your journey, but remember, it does not matter about the likes, that doesn't mean you can't get a rank, people don't always like your application, but you only got 2 likes because it did not have most of the requirements like a formal application does, so do not worry, just work harder and ask more questions, you can never progress unless you ask for help and questions, because you will know nothing really. So don't worry about likes or not getting knight right away, because the only people that can promote people are the administrators.

See, this is not considered "inactivity". Inactivity is probably about more than 3 days, or you are unable to get on for a while, while you are not going to be on for two hours on a specific day, and while we are all sleeping on another. Thank you for telling us, but it is not really considered inactivity if you will be on sooner or later, we do not have certain times for you to be on. Hope you have a nice time though!

All This Rank Nonsense + Guide to Moderators
•
1st May 2015, 08:56 AM
Hello! I would like to talk about a subject that is, well, very popular right now; that subject is rank wanting. I just want to say, if this offends you, it is NOT pointed towards anyone, because I would not want to offend someone and cause drama. Anyways, this is a serious issue when you ask constantly for a rank. The thing is, you will less likely get a rank if you advertise an application, because it is pretty annoying after a while, when you ask for a rank, which lowers your chances of getting said rank, and even just asking or recommendation channels; those channels usually will not help, so do not bother, since you'll need to earn it the correct way.
My point is, you need to earn ranks, and all ranks are able to earn. Later I will post a couple of guidelines, but for now I will continue talking about this rank nonsense. What people do for ranks is just unbelievable.
Applications
Just saying, you do not need to make applications to succeed, even though they show that you are worthy and that you would like a rank. Applications are just out there to prove oneself worthy, but you do not need to make a single rank application excessively, or make many rank applications, because one is just enough. The thing about applications, is that you can make one to show that you are ready for a rank, but when you make more than one or constantly make an application for a different rank each time, you sound desperate and it would take a lot longer to prove yourself when you act immature and desperate. Also, advertising, as people call it, is not that helpful, because it might help with likes, and you can brag about it, but what really matters is if the staff/administrators see it. The Administrators look at applications, you don't have to ask for people to look at them,because you seem very desperate in this case also.
Applications outnumber any other post really, because there are simply so many of them. I don't get why people are so needy for a rank. Yes, you can wait, and be patient, and make one application, and you will be better off than a person who makes like 4 applications for the same rank, constantly advertises, and is impatient, and acts like they never get a rank. The thing is, patience is key.
Recommendation Channels
Honestly, these do nothing really, but they show that someone appreciates you enough to suggest you for a rank. It just shows that another is being nice, although channels are channels for a reason. The person you are lifting up will enjoy that, but it will not make their chances higher or lower.
Asking and Telling False Information Just For a Rank
These are serious issues, because people lie about things just to get a rank, and they even exaggerate, or ask. The situation with asking is that it is immature, and it just lowers your chances. Exaggerating is a different story. Example: Oh I moderated the town for 12 hours straight, and I helped 50 people really fast, and they really wanted me as a moderator. That is just an example though, as it could not really happen, but it is something that seems realistic. Exaggerating is not really much of a problem, but it can cause issues, because you are pretty much saying something is much better than it should be. Anyways, what is more important is telling false information JUST for a rank. I mean, lying about an age is fine, because that is personal, but if you are lying about something that you did do, or if you have done some wrong things in the past, denying everything, and saying that people have recommended you , it could become an issue. Lying is never okay, and it is like plagiarizing, or saying something is yours when it isn't, that is something very serious. Copying someone else is fine, as long as you don't take what is rightfully theirs.
How to Obtain Moderator
Yes, you would say to me, why are you telling us we shouldn't be worrying about ranks and yet giving us a guide to obtain moderator? Well, people should want moderator, but the reason you came to this game was to have fun, not ask about ranks and want a rank. Having ranks is great, but you need to earn it correctly, and use it responsibly.

Well, people should want moderator, but the reason you came to this game was to have fun, not ask about ranks and want a rank. Having ranks is great, but you need to earn it correctly, and use it responsibly.
Being a Moderator is a very tough job, especially to maintain, and here are some things to help you out!
- Don't act desperate and ask, or do anything to make yourself seem desperate. This is not bad when you think about it, but when you are applying for a job irl, it makes you seem needy and not a right choice.
- Be Mature and have good grammar. Yes, you will need these things. You do not always need to act mature and have good grammar, if you are acting silly, but you should be mature and act civilized when important.
- Never Slack off. When being a moderator, you'll need to never slack off unless there is an event, or another moderator has something covered, but you will still need to do your job 80% of the time.
- Follow the rules. This is major because if you are breakingg rules, you will most likely not be trusted at all, at least not for a long time. Trust is earned, and you cannot simply just have trust.
- Be Respectful. You need to always be respectful to others, and never boast, or be rude to others, it does not matter who they are. You shall not cause drama ever.
- Have Experience. This is a big one too, because you do not need to just be here for a while, because that is basically cheating the system. You want to have experience from being here a long time, and being ACTIVE.
- Being Active is one of the most important things to help. It will show that you are on a lot and you care much for oldcp, and are willing to spend a lot of time helping out and moderating.
- It is not the most fun job, but you will have to bear through all the ignorant people. They are annoying sometimes, but you will have to bear with it. Without patience, you cannot do your job, it would be tough.
- Stay confident, but not too confident. If you feel ready, make an application, but never too many. Patience goes along with this because if earning, you will have to wait a long time before gaining trust enough to become a certain rank. Do not complain, because it seems immature.
- Be nice, and never fake anything. You want to act nice to others, and not just act nice, but do not hate on others, because you do not want to start drama.
- Have requirements. Yes, you might not think about this much, but you will need experience, trust, age, etc., but not by just the people, but by the staff.
- Stay Active, and never quit your rank. If you just get a rank, you will need to STAY active, and keep it, because moderating requires that you be on about an hour a day, catching up at any time. Never quit your rank unexpectedly, or without a reason, it seems like you worked hard, but wasted that time, and just wanted the rank.
- Agree with all, and consider all possibilities. You are not always right, so you have to consider everything when doing your job, and agree with the staff.
- Do not act immature or drunk. It is clear that if you do this, then you have a way lower chance of having a rank and you are seen as immature, disrespectful, etc.
- Ask for proof. If you had a rank which allows you to arrest, ban, ipban, kick etc., you will need proof before doing. The person reporting to you could be lying, and spreading false information, and if the proof is not good enough, meaning the person changed it, then it is not good to use.
- Do not let people spam, or bully. Tell people to stop spamming or bullying, and report bullying to a moderator immediately if there isn't already one there, because it is a serious issue that is ban-able, and even ipban-able. Spamming is usually just a kick for moderators if a user throws 4+ snowballs in public, but if someone is spamming over and over, they will usually just need an arrest.
- Know the Commands and when to use them. This is one of the most important things. You will need to know when to use your powers, and how to not abuse them. You cannot just use them for fun, but in serious issues that need to be dealt with. Summoning just to annoy someone is abusing your powers, or kicking or banning someone you don't like is abusing. It is not just abusing your physical powers, it is abusing the fact that you are a moderator and can do things that others cannot. People respect moderators very much, but you are never to boast or talk about things that might hurt people, because rules apply to everyone.
Those are just some things to help you with earning a rank, specifically moderator.
Rank Nonsense
So, all this rank nonsense is that people are wanting a rank so desperately that they go above the limit. We came to this game to have fun, did we not? It is not all about the ranks, because the people that want ranks are just taking the fun out of the games, This does not usually happen, but if everyone wanted a rank, it would get out of hand. Not everyone can have one, because not everyone is ready or we just have too many. Ranks are not everything, it is just an online game, it is supposed to make us happy, not desperate for a rank. My whole point about this is that ranks are not the world, we came to this game for a reason; to remember the good times. So just remember that you are playing this game for fun, and not for the ranks. The last thing I wanted to say is that I would never want to hurt or offend anyone with my post, so it is not towards anyone is specific.

Greed and Love + More
•
30th April 2015, 10:06 PM
Greetings, it is I with wisdom about greed, love, and other topics.
What you have is what you'll get, for the world does not revolve around you. You may take what is yours, but the other sections are for some people in need. Greed is the evil inside all. We must destroy greed by giving to others instead of taking everything. Wants aren't necessities, they are just wants. They may be fun, but for the ones in need of something, whom don't have anything really, is whom you should give it to. Whether it is currency, or food, or even just a present to another, it is great to give, because what is yours, could be shared with another. You don't have to keep it all to yourself, you are just having extra. While you may see the glass half full, because you have eaten or had too many things, another may see it half empty, because they might have nothing, and are in need of someone to care for them, to feed them, to love them, to nurture them, to clothe them, to protect them, to guide them. Greed is selfish, greed is not who we are, or is it? Greed is in our nature and we cannot help sin. We can't help temptation to take all that is rightfully ours, to rule the world, massacring and having more than what you need, but what you really want is love, love is what fills the void. It is love inside that counts. It does not matter how you look, but it is how you show your reflection to others. You are given as much mercy as the next person, to share among men, to give among the poor, to love ones who have no one. Love is a sign that you truly care for someone or something, it does not matter what they look like or who they are. Don't change them if they need changing. Affect them, and give them all the wonders they will ever need by caring for them. The thing is, bullying only happens because you do not have anyone to love you. Either that, or you have been hated on by another. Do not hate back, hate is strong, and it can kill a human being. Change your ways, and do not hate, for love is the answer, because it has the strength to kill an army, or warm a heart.
The ones who really care, are the ones who have bothered to become a part of your life. Appreciate them for who they are, and give them the love they deserve, because they could be like you or any other soul that is sad or depressed: hopeless. Do not give up hope, because hope will stay a whole lifetime, it will stay with you forever if you believe in what you have, whom you have, and whom you believe in. Thy wounds will recover if you believe it will. In time, thy wounds shalt heal, and will bring you back to life, it will give joy, and will show your mind what it is like to have a peaceful mind. You shalt spread what happiness is given to you, the ceremonious words to be spoken, for if you think and believe that you can do anything, you can if you try harder. Love all, for it does not matter whom they are, but it matters about what they think about themselves. Ones with low self esteems may hate on themselves, being depressed places they go, and hurting others physically or even vocally. It doesn't matter what happens in your life believe in yourself, give to others, share what you think is right, believe in others, believe in miracles, never give up, never lose hope, always stay positive, always love your brethren, and speak out, don't give out, never hate back.
"If thou shalt believe in thyself, miracles are always possible, for if thou wait a long time, it shalt happen in time. It is only if you wait, stay patient, and most importantly, if you believe it shalt happen. Believe in the goodness, for the goodness inside of thou shalt appear as friendly, giving, helping, and not evil, for the evil inside of us is never gone, but thou can break thyself from it in time, resisting the powerful force."

Imperial Knight Application

28th April 2015, 10:05 AM
Amazing application! You and your brother jaxs are so mature and you know just what to put in an application. I like how you put time in your application, and you didn't have to make it short or long. It was a very nice one, because it stated all that was needed. Although, blackhawks or other roleplay characters in crimezone are not coming back ever I believe, but we never know if Damen will change his mind, it is a small chance. Anyways. lovely application, I feel like you are ready or knight soon and that you will be fully read if you learn even more in the knight Academy! Good job!

Nice guide! I hope future pw learn from this, because situations like these have happened many times and it is serious business because you can be banned or even ipbanned. It has been a big issue in the past. Although it does not occur many times, it shouldn't even occur once. I hope future pw brothers are picked wisely and learned from other brothers and users mistakes.

Do you people even know what happened? Yes, they are both probably guilty, because in most cases the people are guilty, but this isn't the point. He was just replying with something that no one but the people that saw know. He is just saying that people don't know what fully happened. You don't just dislike a person's post because you are going with the flow of others. You dislike it because you disagree, or something like that, but you don't just dislike for the heck of it. My point is, you act like he is the worst person in the world because you don't know the full story. So what I am saying is that you guys dislike his post for no reason. He is just making a point, and so many people don't care and just dislike away because he is accused of something bad. If it were Damen or a staff member that you looked up to, you probably would not dislike the post, would you? My point is that even though people are accused of something and probably are guilty, don't hate on them until you know the full situation, that is all he is trying to say. Anyways, Matthew is sometimes rude so I wouldn't be surprised if he did something like this.
