This thread will be making up for my lack of a six month as staff thread. Also, due to my recent promotion to Trial Sr. Mod, I am going to redo my Meet the Staff questions as well. I'm having trouble tagging people, so bear with me.
First name:
IGN(s): Lively_
Nickname(s): Lively, Live, LiveALie, "Oh god, it's him..."
Age: 17
Region: US, but I go wherever I'm needed.

One Embarrassing Fact: I joined MCSG because of BajanCanadian.
One Fact that makes you proud: I'm reading through the Song of Ice and Fire series, and only five of my favorite characters died.
One Fact no one would ever guess about you:I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK I love the classical Broadway musicals: Music Man, Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Etc...
Most Common question you get asked: Are you admin? Can I get unbanned? The answer to both of these is "No."
Favorite Animal: The Platypus,
Favorite Plant: Any carnivorous plant.
Favorite Color: Red or Black *hums a song*
Favorite Food: Dutch, or puffed, pancakes
Biggest Pet Peeve: They're/Their/There You're/Your. Repeating questions after they've been answered. People getting frustrated over little things.
Astrological Sign: Capricorn
Personal Catchphrase: "May I have your attention please!" (Typically said in a rowdy TS channel."
Heard about MCG by: As I said above, Bajan.
Ever Bring someone to MCG: I've brought Cubes to MCSG.
First friend in the community: One of the first people I ever talked to in this community was MCCMorpheus. But the first person that I truly counted as a friend was Oper | Vxry
MCG role-model: I've never looked up to anyone in this community, but I guess I respect Col_StaR the most out of anyone.

Ever Broken a bone: Yes, multiple.
Would you rather be a fish or a bird?: Let's see, I'm a lifeguard, I like to swim, and I'm afraid of heights. Take a wild guess. That's right, I want to be a bird. Birds can fly and go wherever they want. They can see things from perspectives that most people cannot.

--------------------------------------
On for my somewhat story.
I began my career in internet communities about 3 years ago. The first community I joined was one called the SCP Foundation, which is a writing community that focuses on SciFi and Horror. There, I learned grammar, syntax, sentence structure, and many other writing mechanics. This community changed my life. This community matured me, and gave me my generally cynical mentality. In 2012, two games based on two of the most popular articles brought a lot of new blood to the site, including myself. I wasn't brought in by the games, but I joined during the initial rush of people. I was a complete newbie there. I was among some of the younger site members, being only 15 at the time. My first attempt at an article flopped. I deleted it 20 minutes after I first posted it.
For the next eight months, I posted on their forums, I spoke with them on IRC, and learned how to write with a clinical and professional tone. After being a part of the community for nine months, I posted my first SCP, which to this day is still one of the more popular SCPs. After that, I started to get into the various roleplaying chats associated with the site. At that point, I started to drift away from writing, and by the end of April, I had lost a lot of my connection to the community. I still drift back there once in a while.
As I started to lose touch with the SCP Foundation, around January of last year, I drifted around from community to community, but I never stayed in any of them. Around february, I started to watch BajanCanadian on YouTube. At this point, he hadn't been banned from the servers. I had gotten a minecraft account in the previous year because of how well I did in school, but I hadn't used it very much. Our school provided us with laptops that we could use for school purposes, but at home, you were pretty much free to do what you want (School appropriate, of course). Me and Cubes started to skype together and play on various servers. I finally decided to play a few games of Survival Games. I enjoyed them quite a lot, so I had Cubes play with me. I had played one or two games back in January, but I never really liked it. This was all around the middle of april.
After we played together, we were hooked. We were playing on our cruddy school laptops for about a month and a half, we had to turn them in for the end of the school year. I transitioned onto my families desktop computer, and Cubes went to his personal laptop he got just before school ended. After playing for close to two and a half months, I got an Asus gaming laptop, the one I use now. Almost immediately after getting my laptop, I registered on the forums and started my time here.
A few weeks after getting my laptop, I started to get tired of playing with only Cubes, so I downloaded TS, and got on our TS server. As I began to learn the ropes of the teamspeak server, I started to make more friends. My first staff friend was BioGear94. It was around this time that Cubes started getting on Teamspeak as well. About a week after Cubes got on TS, we met Decemberr, then ChandelleMC and xstephaniex shortly thereafter.
Cubes and I applied for mod within a week of each other, and a month later, we got mod within a week of each other. About a month after I got mod, I applied for Red Forest and Team Elite around the same time, RF got back to me first, and I joined their team. For the next five months, I built with them and really enjoyed their company. In february, I started to lose my interest in building, I began doing less and less work for them, until it came to a head in mid march. I left the team due to the fact that I just didn’t feel motivated and I didn’t connect with the team like I used to.
In April, I was promoted to Trial Sr. Mod, and here we are today.
-------------------
And here's the part where I tag all the people who have influenced my time here.
