Do you have any experience as a GM?
Yes, i believe i do.

If so, where were you a GM and what rank?
I was a lvl 2 Mod on OldJamMS and I used to be the admin for my own server(ASMS).

How well do you work in a team?
As i had a reasonable amount of experience while i was the admin for my server, i had to be able to cooperate with my fellow GMs and Coders to constantly improve the server. In the end, i managed to do some serious coding work together with my fellow staff and also maintained a clean server with no trouble amongst players & staff alike. Therefore, i strongly believe that i will be able to work well in a team and cooperate with others. Most importantly, i am able to follow instructions given by others and get the job done.

Why do you want to become a GM?
I would like to become a GM as i wish to help this server as best as i can. I would thus be able to share the responsibility of ensuring that the server has order and that everyone would enjoy their stay on the server as i understand the huge responsibility that each and every GM bears on their shoulders.

How is your patience?
I would rate my patience level as rather tolerant. As the admin of a server, i am constantly bugged by players for various reasons and I will never deter person in need of deserved help. Therefore, I always try my best to solve each and everyones' problems even if it would take me time. I would only lose my patience if the players revolt time and time again. I would not lose my patience if i encounter a player that is very hard to please but rather try to put myself in his shoes and understand why he/she is behaving in that manner.

Do you Understand that being a GM is a Job, and not just to look "cool"?
Yes i do indeed understand the responsibilities as a GM. A GM must try his best to ensure that order is kept in a server and to ensure that no player attains an unfair advantage over another by illegal means, namely via -- Hacking , Botting , Abusing an In-Game glitch , denying a weaker player the opportunity to advance by ksing the player on purpose. A GM also has to exercise his abilities to protect and player from harm caused by a selfish or irresponsible player via the means of harassment or threatening to abuse the player. No respactable GM just sits back and watch the world go by when he is needed and a GM definitely should NOT take the easy way out of solving problems that surface by referring the player in need to another GM and therefore shirking his own responsibility. Neither should a GM abuse the powers that have been bestowed upon him. He must never take sides of anyone which means that a GM must be unbiased in any decision he makes.

Do you Understand that there are Rules and Restrictions for being GM, most of which may take away anything you could consider as fun?
What i consider fun can vary with what position i am in. If i am a player, i would deem fun as an enjoyable experience in a server that would make me want to play it more. However, as a GM, our "fun" should instead be developed from seeing players enjoy their time playing and the community growing closer to each other. Simply put, we find it fun that our players are having fun playing the server.

Do you Understand, that becoming a GM is a double-edged blade... this means, if you pass and become one, you get Power, but if you abuse it in-game, your account will be wiped?
As i have talked about above, i fully understand that a GM must never take sides in any case or provide an unfair ground for players. This includes both biased to and against the players. I also agree that should a GM abuse his abilities , he would have to face the music.

I used to be able to do some casual coding like coding of npcs and some commands like i did on my server, but it has been some time since my server shut down so i am rather rusty at coding at the moment. I had created a forum for my server before, so i'd know how to handle most if not all forum related stuff. I have adjusted the forum permissions to allow full viewing of my forums HERE.

Hope you would grant me the opportunity to work alongside the team. Thank You.

Cheers,
Ernest
