Hey whats up, if you have come to this thread you obviously want to know my story! I have to admit it is a long one but if you could just take the time to read as I at least hope you will find it somewhat enjoyable. Anyways it all started in V1, back then I had only played a couple of games with my friends usually finding it boring (probably because we never won). I remember distinctly smilyboss saying to me "hey once you win one you just keep getting wins", back then this never happened to me. So I never really had that sort of getting right into it experience. I remember some key individuals such as mincraft6t (I can never spell his IGN right) who was probably the first person I had ever skyped with who I didn't know (except for this one guy in US who said he used hacks so I started blowing in my mic in all hopes he would die in the game), and I must say it was pretty fun. I occasionally would skype with him but sometimes he would say that he was skyping with his 'good friends' so then I would just skype with my friends SuperGoatsCheese and Pilot_Caboose. We had a blast. By this time I had gotten about 50 wins. Then I met some people like PAT0154, @DemonXportal and Turt1eManLol. We would go on massive winning streaks altogether. Then I was informed by Pat0 that there was a clan he was in called AU Rebels, I applied and I was declined. Annoyed that there was no reasoning I tried to ask "what reasoning is behind me getting declined with usually no answer" I then contacted darkrai202 in game and he said something along the lines of "get more well known and liked throughout the Rebels. I listed a few people who I knew and had skyped with before who were in the rebels (such as PAT0154, DamoXD and @Tyester) and after about 3 months I was accepted. Just the night before I distinctly also remember adding Kytria on skype as I thought I was pretty close to getting in. Literally the day I was accepted I got into a massive group call with darkrai, kytria, ausparady, Damoisawesome and meganlovesmusic we had a blast and I remeber as soon as I joined the call and talked darkrai said "Good, hes not a squeaker". This was about when the servers were still in AS and us Australians started realising we didn't actually have to lag! I then started racking up wins catching up to my role models like PAT0154 and we had finally gotten AU servers. But as V2 was lurking in some of my favorite players were lurking out I rember seeing Pat0, Demon and virtually anyone that I had listed before I got into the rebels leave... It was pretty sad. But now we had AU servers, a new lobby, a new version of MCSG all the improvements and changes I thought were for the better but I slowly saw the decline of Asian players in my games and found the competition weakened. By then I was looking for a better opportunity then just playing MCSG so as I saw one of my IRL friends Fredflinch apply I decided to apply for staff. I had actually applied before this time but I remember I was really unsure and was almost pushed by my friend to do it. So I gave it a shot and was after about 2 months accepted for interview. That very night I was extremely lucky and got my interview. I was so nervous I remember getting spammed with messages saying Good luck etc. and almost accidentally closing my word document because of all the spam cluttering my screen. I did pass the interview but I was almost disheartened as one of my best non-irl friends Builda_Br3tt had been declined at interview. So I left the AU Rebels (known as Phoenix by then) and went off on my journey. The funny thing now is when I think about it I got no help whatsoever, I went and copied what every other moderator did and just hope they knew what they were doing. I remember going to one mod training guide on hackers but I already knew what hacks looked like so it was pretty darn useless for me. But I know now that their were many great people who would have helped me if I put up my hand I was just to shy. I had by now understood what it was to be a moderator and I was having a blast in custom channels with other moderators just playing games and looking out for hackers. Most of those mods resigned though, which sucks because I had little to no one to converse with. By then it was a period in which we desperately needed AU mods because for the server amount their just wasn't enough. From that period on it had been pretty basic I was sorting out clan competitions, seeing mods resign(or even fired >.>) and just banning every hacker I saw. I am now in a more or less present stage and although I really didn't touch much on the period from when I got moderator to now they are pretty boring. So just recently mods were allowed in clans, I thought great! I will go back to my AU Rebel buds but when I came across the thread I didn't see many of the members I remembered... So I decided I would join Apex a clan in which I had just started getting to know, and I can say for sure it has been so much fun and I hope I never have to leave.
