Hello,

My OldCP name is 'FishBrains', which originates from my Club Penguin name - 'Fish Brains', created in late 2006. Since I have experienced the older Club Penguin world, I feel that I would fit the role as moderator well on OldCP; I played OldCP for the first time in 2013, I got along with the players, had a good laugh, and I obeyed the rules as I still do now. I also know how to solve code problems people may have in-game, for example, if they don't know how to become Rockhopper, I'd tell them to type "/up Rockhopper" etc. Although this is basic knowledge and is just a simple act of kindness, I still feel that this makes me worthy for the role. I'm also very aware that bullying can be a problem online - and I know players on OldCP can be victims, so I will do everything to prevent it. I believe there is a rape culture and I will warn people who contribute to rape culture. I am also all for equality, I support the LGBTQ+ so any homophobia AND/OR racism will be warned, or whatever is necessary.

Obviously, that's not all I have to offer I have also had experience as an admin on a big 1,000 slot Minecraft server, which unfortunately, had to be taken down due to the owner having problems with his personal life. As you may imagine, this experience has helped me greatly because it has enabled me to deal with difficult players - I had to talk to and help many players on that server. My work on the server was definitely done to my best ability since I started as a regular player, then a moderator, then an admin and (kind of) a co-owner. I never abused my admin powers, and I always followed the rules on the server, and I made sure all of the players did so too. If they didn't follow the rules then I would take action in a warning, kick, or ban depending on the situation. I also used to be in charge of staff on my Minecraft server, I had to read applications, hire people, promote people and even demote people; so I know what to look for in a potential staff member, which is why I try to tick every box possible for a rank on OldCP.

If any of the following information bolsters my staff application, then here it is:
I'm 16, turning 17 in September. I know in the eyes of some, that's "a little old to be playing Club Penguin", but I joined OldCP for nostalgic reasons - it brings back fond memories of the old Club Penguin world, although I still think the new Club Penguin is great because of how far it has come, it's targeted at an age group I am no longer part of, thus meaning I don't enjoy it as much as OldCP and I also really want to be part of the growth of OldCP! I tend to keep my gender neutral on games, I am female, but I don't make my gender apparent in-game. I have been told that my written communication is excellent, but that's up to you to decide when reading this. I am from the UK, so my timezone will differ from other staff members, this would enable me to moderate the server when other staff members in another timezone are not on, due to their time. Obviously, I start college in September, but, that means I will have more time online because there are less hours I need to spend at college than when I did school. So time is not really a problem for me. I am also taking graphic design at college as one of my subjects, so if you ever need help in the graphics department, I'm happy to help you out since I already have lots of experience, with Club Penguin graphics and regular graphics!

Also, I don't want to apply for a specific role, I feel that it is up to the person reading to decide what job I am worthy of. I will also be very active as I am still on my summer holiday, and I spend a lot of time on my computer - that can be shown through my hours playing games on Steam! I will be just as dedicated to OldCP, if not, more if I have a job to do, which I know I will thoroughly enjoy as I have enjoyed staff roles in the past, like working on severs, an old CPPS and real life retail experience AND office experience!

Thank you for taking the time to read this application, I hope it's diverse from the other applications on here.

-FishBrains

PS - If needed, I will be happy to give you my Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Steam, etc, names if you wish to take my application further.

I'm applying for in-game staff - not forum staff, I don't see how long I've spent on forums should affect that!?
