- What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths:
  • Teamplayer
  • Works well under pressure and handles stress well
  • Follows the vision I have of projects
Weaknesses:
  • Can be quite bossy
  • Perfectionistic
  • Easily gets stuck on the small things

- Why do you want this position?:
For me, Willow is the ideal city for every player. Let’s be honest - none of us would be running around if it wasn’t for people farming for food. Every player, no matter how new or old, can benefit from owning or renting a farm.

I want to make it attractive to own or rent land in Willow. Premade farms where everything is ready for you, and big plots of land where you can make your own farm. Something for everyone - cause that is my vision for the city. A city for everyone.

I spend a lot of time on the server already, and I really want to advance my position on the server to something bigger than I already am, something with a bigger purpose than just being the hot trial mod and wife of both xlayzur and blockyelise.

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?:
Willow needs a fresh breath of air, and I can be that for the city. I really want the city to succeed and be a hub for everyone where you can come and make some money no matter your experience.

In my opinion, Willow needs an overhaul - both administrator-wise, but also aesthetically. Downtown Willow is pretty, but the surrounding areas in the current city are both extremely unorganized, and also not very pretty. They need help. Badly.

I have attached a picture what I want to accomplish in my first 100 days as a mayor, if I get picked.


- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?
Government:
  • Economist and Career Coach (former)
  • Ranger (former)
  • Archivist (current)
  • Event Coordinator (current)

Other:
  • Vice Chairman in the DRP
  • Owner of PINK
  • Senior Member of SMP
  • Manager of Versace Jewelry
  • Oversees the Human Resources at Redmont Brewery Co.
  • Trial Moderator on the server

- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?
I am online a lot, and even when I start university in the fall, I will be spending a lot of time online. I am almost always available on Discord and other social media, and I like to keep Discord clean and organized into different subjects.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.
I work hard and am determined, and I work well within deadlines. One of the newer things I would like to point out is the current organization of the Olympics, where Snow and I am arranging the Triathlon and Long Distance Elytra. Unfortunately, the Olympics have been postponed.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.
I'm good at organizing. I literally have no example of this in Minecraft besides when I region plots lol, so I’ve attached my old university notes lmao

- Additional Information:
Thank you for reading this <3
(ps if you can understand my notes, no you don't)

- What are your strengths and weaknesses?:
Strengths
include my willingness to include people, communication, and time on Discord. I check Discord too often. I am not so much of a strong leader but a strong team member, and while I will somewhat 'lead' things, I am more likely to have ideas and discuss them with the leadership team.

Weaknesses: The last part was also a weakness.
I'm not a very good leader because sometimes I am quite bad at forcing my will when people disagree with me.
Sometimes I try too hard or take things too seriously. A bit of a perfectionist, I find it hard to be satisfied with what I do. I have a tendency to take criticism too heavily.
(Some people said I have too many jobs, and I am ready to leave some, it's ok. I'm sorry.)

- Why do you want this position?:
I want Willow to succeed. Willow has a great legacy and history, and I want to be able to take the town into the next stage, which is Reveille. This will be a huge revamp and I believe that I, with the support of many people, will be able to bring Willow glory and idk what else, but basically, good things.
I want to work with other Mayors in making towns more appealing as a whole and promoting activity within.

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?:
Have been associated with Willow for a while now.
A hard worker and ready to make Willow even better.
Already have ideas and ready to implement it.

- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?:
Speaker / Deputy Speaker of the House
Deputy Secretary of the DEC & DoJ

A few other government roles I have had are:
Media Advisor, Event Coordinator, Archivist, Ranger, Auditor, Press Assistant, Clerk.

- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?:
I use Discord and I ping people, send reminders when they don't reply, and more reminders when they don't reply. I'm always checking Discord, even while in class, and sometimes during online exams, but we don't talk about that. When in leadership positions, I try to make sure everyone is able to offer some input, even if it's just a "looks good". I like to make sure all opinions are heard so that it can be considered, even if it sounds silly.
Within a team, even as a leader, I prefer to work with everyone rather than stay distant and order people around.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.:
I work very hard for things I want to do or enjoy doing, and will do so even if I don't necessarily enjoy it as much (if it's necessary.)
I am not really sure how to really provide examples. I wrote bills in Congress as a Representative?
Uh... I worked on math problems for 5 hours straight to get it done and am willing to put in a lot more time for Minecraft.
I have stayed up all night to finish things when needed.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.:

I use a calendar to note down what I have each day, including events on DC because why not.
A sheet with all the things I need to do.

- Additional Information:
Writing EOIs is painful 🥲
If you have further questions for me, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Weaknesses:

Default HP: 20

- Why do you want this position?
Such a simple question, yet so hard to answer, I would like to provide serious change towards towns and make Willow unique after its time of being known as boring

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?
Of course I am not going to slander the other applicants, but I will say that I believe I have had a very interactive experience with all sorts of people on DC, and would know best how to lead Willow through Reveille.

- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?
I am a Representative of the 14th Congress, and am active in the field, as well as leading a highly professional force in the same server. Additionally, I am the leader of a registered political party.

- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?
I first understand how everyone feels about situations and discuss it in a group of qualified people to determine plans that work for everyone, or the best plans possible per situation.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.
I am quite hard working and dedicated to my jobs, once I start something I will follow it through to the fullest extent possible. I lead my company from a poor, broke firm to a large player in business. I worked my career here from the ground up, even while facing discrimination from others due to my name, nothing has made me quit my endeavors.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.
Organization? Well, I am pretty organized in terms of my perfectionism, especially when building. I can easily transfer this, however, to work related to town maintaining and development.
As for examples, I always like to keep separate folders on every subject at school, if that could count. Similar examples of this are often present in my life.

- Additional Information: Thank you for your time. This concludes my application. (Aka, now i can be informal ahahahahaaa, mug root beer, amogus, etc etc)

+ Much Intellect
+ Quick Learner
+ Dedicated


- Sometimes Forgetful
Solution: Ping me all day and night if u want


- Why do you want this position?:
I want to advance Willow from just a place where people farm to a booming economic center. Right now (for most people) Willow is one of the least thought-about towns, partially due to an inactive mayor and not much talk about it. Also, I kinda want something else to keep me busy and take up more of my time so I'm not afk watching YT all day (Plus the bonus of the mayor tag jkjk). I also have a personal connection to Willow, as I have rented from them and been in WIllow events in the past (their "golden-age").

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?:
Unlike (most) other applicants, I actually have the time needed to help Willow, as I am not very busy in dc, let alone irl. I am also in the DOI, which shows that I am (kinda) good at wild/farm design.

- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?
Current:
Ranger
Building Inspector
Economist (Team Leader of the Commerce branch)
CRB Commercial Board Member


Former:
Police Officer
Oakridge Council
1x Rep. Candidate
1x Senate Candidate


Non-Govt.:
Manager of Chair Grizz
Owner & COO of Cosselz
Manager of Hilton
More that i cant think of rn


- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?
I am able to arrange vcs or meetings to help coordinate things (given my screwed up sleep schedule i can also coordinate across timezones), plus I can make task lists for groups or individual people to help them organize themselves. I also can work in the team itself by doing spare tasks instead of just telling them what to do. I can also help resolve disputes and make sure people can get along.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.
I am very dedicated with my activities, even if they are tedious. I am willing to spend hours doing one or 2 specific important things, only having to take small breaks in-between. I am a quick worker, and very good at problem solving (cant do a rubiks cube tho). I have a lot of time, which is a plus and will help Willow achieve its goals.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.
As I said earlier, I often make task lists, especially for myself. I dont mind being pinged if I forget a certian thing or if it gets lost in chat, they help me to keep everyone happy. I also am good at discord designing, which can help keep tickets organized, and make it so staff dont have to sift through hundreds of channels (onyx exchange, if yk yk) Um idk how to give examples in this case so um heres my /chest and inv

Experienced

Weaknesses -
Procrastinates
Very busy at times
Sucks at writing Strengths and Weaknesses lists


- Why do you want this position?:
If I'm being honest, despite all I've said, I've always liked Willow. From the build-style to its community, it is a great town and I've had very memorable experiences there, from the cobblestone strip club and the bombing of the church to losing all my money at the Casino and helping host a boat race. The town is indeed very much behind, and I would love to help fix that. I want to see Willow in a better shape, I want to see it how it was before, I want to see a better Willow. The past Mayorships have been great, and I want to be a part of the next one.

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?:
I would never say I'm the best choice for something, I know there are some who could do better than me, but I can explain why I do believe I am one of the better applicants. I've had much experience within towns and the DC government as a whole, and I've been on the Server for a good while. I know what a town needs, I know what the players want and need in a town, and I'd love to help bring that to Willow and its progress on transferring to Reveille. I can bring experience, ideas, and positive things overall to the town.

- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?
Current positions:
Representative
Constructor
Auditor
Event Coordinator
Head of Urban Development in Aventura
Oakridge Chief of Staff

Past positions:
Mayor of Oakridge
Acting Mayor of Oakridge
Deputy Mayor of Aventura
Deputy Secretary of the DPA
Press Advisor (Consumer Admin.)
Deputy Speaker of The House
5x Representative
1x Senator
Ranger
Economist
Constable
Doctor
Attorney

There may be other positions I've been in, if so, I can't remember right now.

- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?
I've got experience with communicating with others in all Departments I've been in, especially DoS and DPA, as they both involve working with others and contacting people a good bit. I'm not really sure how to explain how I am able to effectively communicate with a team, but I do believe I can communicate very well.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.
My work ethic is fairly good, provided I have the time for it within the server. I would like to say, I have a lot of things to do in real life, but I do try to find time that I can spend on DC and if I have something to do then, I always try to do it, as I don't run any major businesses/work for any and do not take on large tasks which involve a ton of playtime just gathering things. If I enjoy something, I will spend time on it and put my focus into it, as much of it as I can.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.

I try to stay as organized as I can with what I do, both irl and on DC. I keep planners for stuff I need to do at school, a calendar for stuff I need to do whenever, and even some reminders for major server things. The only thing I do not have much organization over is my storage on the server, but who does?

- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths
+ Very Active through Discord during the daytime course
+ Consistent in a job, like my career in the Courts.
+ Worked actively in a team
+ Creative
+ Old Player? xD


Weaknesses
- In game time at this moment
- Language Barrier
- Because of the barrier I sometimes come of as rude or feel attacked.


- Why do you want this position?:
I want to recreate myself in a very different role than I used to have, The Exchange or the Courts are a completely different experience and I would like to taste everything in DC.

- Why are you the best applicant for this role?:
The experience I have in leadership, yes I failed some things but I created also wonderful things. Learning from your mistakes is the single most important thing you can do and that's why it's so important to make mistakes. I am also available through discord to solve any feuds right away and with a creative brain events or solutions can't be a problem. It's time for Willow to step away from the Westray-era and open a new Chapter. Hanging in the past is something that nobody needs or wants, the future is bright for Willow and I would like to join and help that future to become even brighter.

- What is your experience in government or leadership roles?
Vice President of SPP
Representative in 1st Congress
Went through the whole Court and now Chief Justice
Co-Owner of the Exchange with Zab, after Zab left only owner.
CEO of Binance
Leading small businesses like law firms on my own or in a team with Sumo for example

- How are you able to effectively communicate with a team?
I've been handling the Supreme Court as a team and it is not easy but we work through it. Same for the Exchange, having just a big exchange needs a team to lead and there I improved a lot in over the years. But to communicate with a team you need to set rules on how to approach each other and be open-minded. Sometimes taking something personally can only detach the train of the rails that set for your goals. Discussion is what a team needs but fights can't be tolerated. Leading a team is communication, and let's try to improve this within Willow.

- Describe your work ethic and provide examples of your description.
Hardworking and persistent in what I do, otherwise I would have left the courts a long time ago. The Exchange I did for 6 months+ and never failed to come on and work on the exchange.

- Describe your organizational skills and provide examples of your description.
I can be messy and disorganized but I always tell people, to look through it and see the order in the chaos. Having events or creating crypto was a pain load for the organization to get it running and keep it running. I aim for structure within chaos.
