Servers: I typically play on the US servers. According to HLStats, I'm on US8 the most.
Time Zone: CST -6:00. I'm typically online from evening to early morning (8PM to 3AM-ish)
Admin Experience: I've been an admin for the XXL Gamers network for over four years with 60 confirmed bans on file (plus dozens of other confirmed bans from AFNation, before they merged with XXL). I've also admin'd on smaller clan servers back in the day when I still played in clans.
Age: 24.
Additional Information: I'm Batman.

:yuno:1+ days on servers?
My computer sucks and I've had a hard time running the game. One of the recent updates actually seems to have optimized things a bit, and it's somewhat playable, so I've been playing again the last couple days.
 
all of my +1s TAKE THEM

yaaaaaay a rational logical admin that would live on the trade servers!

as far as i see it, Xel is applying for admin in stock servers, unless he meant to take trade servers.
I +1 since you seem to have a lot of admin experience from past clans.
 
I respectfully disagree with you becoming a mod, especially with your trollish actions in the last few weeks. I don't think you'd be the most objective, one sided mod. AKA, you'll abuse your power.
 
If my vote counts for anything, I think Xel would make a spectacular mod, so +1 from me.

As for his "trollish" actions, I'm not looking to start another terrible bad storm, but lets just say he isn't the first person to have problems with he who must not be named, and he certainly won't be the last.

Edit:
Oh, I neglected to see the thread in which this is referenced, I was not referring Taco as "he who must not be named." Just wanted to clarify, I was talking about another certain someone. My vouch still stands however, gaming forum there will be "trolling" and such.

In what way, honestly? I posted pony pictures and your boyfriend and Taco got angry (thus proving the point I was trying to make, that certain users around here are incredibly irrational in their reactions to what amounts to nothing more than a children's cartoon). I wasn't being abusive to either of them in the process (even though Taco was all for the name calling).

You probably haven't noticed, since you've never really talked with me on a personal level, but - and not to toot my own horn - I'm really a rather level-headed person. It takes a lot to anger me (especially over the internet), and I am perfectly capable of reason.

However, I also joke around. A lot. THAT, I'm sure you've noticed.

Whatever you are in real life doesn't concern me at all, just like my relationships and who I am doesn't matter. You could be a saint for all I care, it still doesn't change the fact that you troll around here and are generally biased towards one group of people. You've proven yourself one-sided, and as a mod, that is a huge sign for a potential abuse of power. Why bring in someone that's going to piss off a good number of users here, only to remove him later due to the fact that he was a terrible mod; banning people who disagreed with him or "didn't like him" or whatever. Mods need to be neutral and objective. You are neither. I'd assume if you were smart, and wanted to become a mod, you'd want to get on everyone's good side, especially the regulars. Your "joking around" has caused a lot of problems on Skial. I don't care about ponies. I really don't, but other people do. And when you troll around with it (or "joke around"), you piss people off. Also, spamming ponies, or spamming anything for that matter, would anger a lot of people. Seeing the same shit over and over really bores people and can potentially anger them. You spam pictures of ponies, there have been posts and posts from people complaining that you've been spamming. If you cannot realize and understand that there are a lot of users here that, for good reason, would not want you to be a mod, you might want to do some self reflection.

hth.
 
Hmm...I've never seen him spam ponies on servers. And he seems to be a swell guy every time I see him.
Also he seems to have a lot of experience as an admin.
He's also Batman...
I say HELL YES!
+1 from me.

Personally I'd much prefer him to be his flawed self when applying for a mod vs some poster boy of kindness and goodness that he isn't. IN ANYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE video game or otherwise, there will be people you dislike, and people who dislike you. You're entitled to your opinion and if your opinion is he isn't going to be a good admin you're entitled to it of course. I'm just merely saying the fact that he's had issues with a few people in the past is hardly reason for his rejection. There is nothing wrong with being a member of a clique, and again that's hardly a reason to deny him because he has a group of friends.....I personally would think anyone who has a close group of friends they play games with shouldn't get admin by that logic because of course one would assumed to be biased towards his friends.

Again you're entitled to your opinion - if you don't think he'd make a fair admin Id simply request that you provide more information than "He's disagreed with people in the past, and he has a group of friends."

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, let's back it up a bit, because a lot of this is both untrue, and confusing.
Whatever you are in real life doesn't concern me at all, just like my relationships and who I am doesn't matter. You could be a saint for all I care, it still doesn't change the fact that you troll around here and are generally biased towards one group of people.
I'm sorry, but who is this group of people you say I'm biased against? I have absolutely no idea what you're referring to here. There are about four people (yourself included) who have really seemed to have any problem with me as of late. One of which I've called out on his own personal issues that have run amok within the community, and the other three (which is the party you're in) decided to argue with me over something as asinine as cartoons for several hours the other night.

That's four people out of... How many active users are there around here? I'd wager a guess and say at least over a hundred. So under 4% of people I've had any real friction with here ever. And only one of them do I have an actual personal problem with. So I have to ask, who is this "one group of people" you're referring to?

And to be quite honest, who I am in real life, or on the internet, should concern you. Especially if you're going to voice your opinion on whether or not I should be an admin in this community. Who I am is... Well... Who I am. It's how I operate, it's how I think, it's how I get things done. I'm not a character of some sort. I'm not a novelty account here to play an elaborate joke. My personality here isn't some facade for a relatively small internet forum. Who I am as a person and as a member of Skial, quite frankly, has everything to do with whether or not you - or anybody else - should determine whether or not I'm fit to be an admin.
You've proven yourself one-sided, and as a mod, that is a huge sign for a potential abuse of power. Why bring in someone that's going to piss off a good number of users here, only to remove him later due to the fact that he was a terrible mod; banning people who disagreed with him or "didn't like him" or whatever.
You may have missed it, but I personally led one of several crusades against a particular user of this site who was abusing his power, and had actually been adding people to the scammer list with no evidence because he got into personal disagreements with them. I know what power abuse looks like. I know how to recognize it, and I make an effort to stop it.
Mods need to be neutral and objective. You are neither.
Again, this is something that I have no idea what you're referring to. If you're using a petty internet argument over pony pictures as grounds for these ridiculous claims of yours, then I'm afraid I can't even take your argument seriously, as it looks like nothing more than a cheap dig at my character.
I'd assume if you were smart, and wanted to become a mod, you'd want to get on everyone's good side, especially the regulars.
Oh, I dunno. I figured that aside from a small handful of naturally irate users, I'm on most people's good side around here. I've stuck up for peope around here more times than not, I've made several friends here on Skial, and only a few "enemies" (even though I honestly don't care enough about most of them to be angry with them).
Your "joking around" has caused a lot of problems on Skial. I don't care about ponies. I really don't, but other people do. And when you troll around with it (or "joke around"), you piss people off.
Some people don't like Spiderman posts. Some people don't like MSPaint posts. You can't please all the people all the time.
Also, spamming ponies, or spamming anything for that matter, would anger a lot of people. Seeing the same shit over and over really bores people and can potentially anger them. You spam pictures of ponies, there have been posts and posts from people complaining that you've been spamming. If you cannot realize and understand that there are a lot of users here that, for good reason, would not want you to be a mod, you might want to do some self reflection.

hth.
If there's "a lot of users" who wouldn't want me to be an admin around here, I encourage them to speak up. Truly, I mean that. If there's something I can clear the air about, by all means, let me know. However, it's only fair that you speak for your own self here. Let people voice their own opinions on the matter.

Now please, if you're just going to continue making things up, save yourself the effort and don't bother. If you have some genuine complaints with the way I operate, please voice them. I beg of you. But if you're going to make petty assumptions about how I would function as a server admin, when you've nothing to base these ideas off of other than a baker's dozen of My Little Pony pictures, then save yourself the time, effort, and quite honestly, the embarrassment, and don't bother replying.

I know shitstorms seem to follow me wherever I go around here, but really, this isn't the proper venue. If you want to have a pissing contest with me, I'll gladly have a pissing contest with you through the proper channels. But this isn't the place. By all means, post a separate thread to complain about me. Post a ban request if it suits you. I have no problem having an actual discussion with you, but only if you're willing to have a real discussion, too.

So you would think that a good suck up wouldn't abuse his power? How is that even remotely plausible? If anything I would argue the opposite of the proposed idea, if someone is manipulative enough to suck up to the userbase just to get admin are they not more likely to abuse thier power?

Also, define spamming. I would think it would be a gratuitous number of repetivie posts of ponies in offtopic ways. I don't think that's been happening. But i dunno, I'm being a champion of ponies right now, so I imagine my break down on spamming is not going to be considered unbiased or rational.

If anything this argument makes it clear that you have a short temper and strong personal biases that you value over merit. Your relationship with those that have been flipping a bitch is an important factor in this issue, just to illustrate where your personal biases lay. (lie lay leigh lei?)

Again you're entitled to your opinion - if you don't think he'd make a fair admin Id simply request that you provide more information than "He's disagreed with people in the past, and he has a group of friends."
Please do what is requested and give more reason than he's had disagreements and has friends.

(also, just to nip the idea before it's formed lolololololololol I've never spoken to xel'naga one on one XD You don't get to count me as being in his corner because we know each other :P)

Oh my, such walls of text.
You're a pretty good guy, I'd give you a +1, but you've been involved in way too much trolling/drama, and I can already predict that you becoming an admin would just fuck shit up even more.
 
XelNega derails threads, trolls people, does almost nothing productive. In the last week he started to copy some work of others and to add little of his own.
On top of that he annoys people by posting pony-fag pictures.
With all the other admin applications I really don't see why we should pick a thread-derailing troll over more competent people

Are you talking about the known scammer list that was poorly put together and needed to be reposted because the original author is known to have bitch fits and randomly take down helpful information?

Let's stop this before it turns bad, we know many people dislike Del Piero (Myself included of course.) This thread isn't about him in the slightest - don't derail an admin application it's not right to the person applying, keep the thread relevant to the pros and cons of the fellow getting admin and nothing else. If we wish to confront other issues with people's admins and choices please make a new thread.
