How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: I try to visit every day, on the weekends it's uncommon but I do get on. [size=85]When I get on during the week it;s usually 3 hours, usually spaced (I get on during school) and then two hours after school, and then I'm off until morning.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Usually about 3 to five hours. On the weekends when I get on, I don't really get on much due to problems with my family, spending time with my boyfriend, and then it's the holidays so I have to work on the weekends to get money to buy presents for my family. But I do try to get on a lot.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: On the internet, I'm calm, and I treat others with respect. I rarely have problems with fighting and arguing, and the last time I got a board warning was when I copied someones design without credit, but that was cleared in 2011. Where I live, I am actually a peer mediator, and I help the younger girls when they have bad days. I wouldn't say I'm one to be going to for help with certain topics (e.g family problems, love problems, things like that) due to the trauma I did suffer from it. I'm good with helping two people that are arguing or fighting.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Honestly, I want to be able to help others without being called a mini-mod. I want to be able to enforce certain rules, to have a sense of power. In all honesty, I want to feel like a higher person. I know that general helpers aren't really that high up, but to be one would be a great honor. I love helping others, in real life I'm not really that social, but on here, I am more social than a dog in a new surrounding. I love being able to talk to people, to create new relationships, to help end feuds. I guess I just want to feel a little more important. Not just "That Jake from Statefarm, chick" I want to be "That helper who became one of my best friends." To just feel that pride when someone thanks me for helping them with a board issue would be better than anything in the world.
Another reason is because in 2010, when I first joined, people used to take my newbieness for granted. They cheated me out of re-releases from 2008, and the general helpers really didn't help me with it back then. But if I become a general helper, if someone tells me that, I'll message them, and ask nicely to give it back. If I have to be a little harsh, I will, but normally I'm not. I want to be able to tell the newbies about certain rules that they might not have known, and to be able to feel that power. To feel important. Tess and Nick have built a great community, and I guess helping it stand would mean so much.

What date did you register as a CS member?: Mon Oct 11, 2010
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 10 862
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I visit CS every single day unless I have a reason why I can't like being unable to access the internet for a period of time.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I usually spend most of mu free of my free time on here. Being a high school student I don't usually have much going on after school so I'm usually on then. So from 4pm onwards central time.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position Well I'm not really sure on this other then I'm on the forums often so I'd be able to check for new replies and questions that may happen to pop up. I'm also very active so that be a bit of a bonus. I don't really have any specific skills per say other than I'd try giving my best and honest answer as well as a detailed description. Also, if somebody didn't know how to do something I'd give them easy step by step instructions and visual aid if needed so they understand it better.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? Well I like helping out people no matter if it's it in my daily life or here on CS. I know how hard it can be sometimes not knowing the answer to a question and then having to search for somebody who does and it may take awhile. I just want to help out mainly.

[RhythmicWolf]

What date did you register as a CS member?: I registered on January 6, 2011, but I took a few months' break before I actually started playing daily.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 2776
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7 days a week, unless I have a super busy day.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Probably around 4 on week days, then usually all day on weekends.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I do have experience in peer mediation from school, where I was taught how to settle disputes and issues calmly. I am also employed as a Newbie Helper on Alacrity Sim, so I consider myself very good at helping others. I don't mind repeating myself, and I enjoy explaining things I know a lot about to others.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?: As stated above, I love helping others. I think it's really important for sim sites like CS to have helpers; it shows that we not only care about our players, but it helps them acclimate to a new site. If they are confused and don't know how to play, there's a better chance of them leaving. I don't often post on the help threads, but I would be more than willing to start helping out others. I think I would make a good addition to the team, and thank you for considering me.

What date did you register as a CS member?
I have been on CS since April 27, 2012, at approximately 6:37. So a year and 3/4, so almost 2 years!
How many posts have you made in the forum
I have made 6373 posts every since I first joined CS.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
I usually get on CS 6 days every week, but most of the time it is a full 7 days. When 6 or 5 days, it's because of homework or being busy, but that's usually on Tuesday and Thursday, to be specific.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
When I am on, on the weekends, pretty much 24/7, unless I have lots of homework to do. When school days are here, I am on maybe about 1 hour-to 3 hours per school day, but I hope that still allows me to apply. Lots of people have school like me still, and sometimes when I get a homework over load, which isn't very often though, its hard to meet 2 hours online.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position
I speak Italian sometimes, because I come from Italy and I was born there. I don't share many traits from coming there except for foods and spoken words! xD I have blond hair, unlike the dark haired Normal Day Italian.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
Simple. I would like to become a general helper because I love to help everybody out, and I am kind to lots of people on here, well the ones that I meet, there are so many members here, I haven't met them all, yet! If I do get this spot, I would definitely take the honor of welcoming people to CS, and show them how friendly our members are. I just find joy in gifting newer members, yet giving them what is fair if they send the trade, unknowing to values of certain pets.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 3764
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: Everyday unless I am going somewhere/something important.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Around 4-6 (I come on once in a while during these hours).
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I can speak 2 other languages that are similar to each other (Serbian and Croatian).
Why do you want to be a General Helper?:I would like to be a General Helper because I love to help others. It makes me feel happy when I help someone and they say thank you. I don't mind repeating myself at all because it is important to help others and answer their individual questions. I do not post on help threads very much but I would be more than happy too. I also just like to help out in general. I remember what it feels like to be a newbie and I only had one friend (that I also know in real life too). She helped me but I had to do most activities my self. I didn't know how to use the Oekaki, the adoption center confused me a bit as well as the forums. So over the past 2-3 years, I have been getting used to the site and where everything is. Even if I don't get to be a General Helper, I will still help other Chicken Smoothie Members!

I feel something that could be of use would be my patience. I have been on websites before where the don't treat new people with the same respect as old members, and it's hurtful. I think all should be treated equally. It frustrates me when people just ignore others, and I want to help change that.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I just want to add to CS's lovely welcoming atmosphere and help people along the way

What date did you register as a CS member? I joined on February 1, 2009 and -wow- it's been a long time.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying): 13341
How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I am on CS 7 days a week unless I've some prior commitment that I am unable to get to the computer. However, as long as I have my phone or some energy at the end of the day, I make sure to check my private messages, my most visited threads, and new trades to see if there is anything urgent.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? Whenever I'm on the computer, CS is open in the background. xD To assign a number, I'll say around four or five hours, but that's probably not completely accurate.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? I'm learning French... Although I'm definitely not fluent yet, I am getting better at reading the language and can slowly struggle through writing simple sentences. I've a history in peer mediation. Currently I am part of the leadership team in my school marching/concert bands as flute section leader and have held this position for two years. I know my way around the site well, seeing as though I've been a member for nearly 5 years and have participated in discussion in the majority of the boards, including role-playing and art.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to help and I'd love to gain experience helping members of online communities. I feel like I've enjoyed Chicken Smoothie for so long, I just want to help other members get the same amount of happiness out of this website as I have. Also, helping new members get a grasp for the site would become a goal of mine... seeing as at times, it may be a little challenging for them to feel like they are a part of such a massive community. CS has become a rather intimidating site to simply jump in on due to the large amount of people who know what they are doing and who may not be as forgiving with new members. I've witnessed this prejudice against new players on other websites, and feel like becoming a general helper will allow me to make them feel more comfortable and accepted.

I mod for a few threads and I am always trying to answer as many questions as I can. I also have a bunch of younger siblings, so I am used to getting asked a bunch of questions and responding calmly.
