I have a question... what if it was almost 8 months ago that you registered? Would you still be allowed to apply?

[Pugnacious!]

So, do you think you have got what it takes to be a General Helper?
Yes!

I am very good with tolerating people who make me frustrated, and keeping my cool. I also know basic html and BBcode coding, and know the basics of rarities.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?

[/list]I like helping people and answering questions, or at least pointing them to someone/where that can. While I admit I don't go on the introductions area much right now, I'd love to greet new people and show them around, maybe help them set up anything on here they need to. Doing these things makes me feel good; as I said before, I love helping people.

Since I can't find Dee's Application:

What date did you register as a CS member?:
Fri Jul 29, 2011 10:27 pm << On my old account.

How many posts have you made in the forum:
1302

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
Seven days a week unless I have a day out with the family or I go out on a vacation. But if that happens you'll probably be warned in my signature if I get on soon enough. :3 We won't get kicked out of the helpers if we can't get on enough for those times,right? Hopefully not. That would be horrible.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Well,in the Summer-lets just say all the hours in between sleeping,eating,and drawing. :3 So thats like 5-6 hours a day in the Summer. During school week-days its at least 3 hours,at most 4. On school holidays its just like summer. On weekends its um....4 1/2 or so? Unless I'm tired.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
Well,I have a younger sibling,and I'm sort of motherly towards him when I help him,same goes to newbies and etc. I am also learning Spanish and Cajun French so I can speak other people's languages if they are from another part of the world. Some people say I'm good with explaining things and finding easy tips and tricks,so just ask. I am also really good at trading and I will sometimes edit the trade out until its fair for me and the other player.
Even on my bad days I try my best to be tolerant and helpful.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
So,this question must count of the most of our chances for this. Whelp,first off,I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE. I'm pretty sure you hear that a lot,but I'm SERIOUS. Its a hobby to me sometimes. I just like the happy lil' feeling you get in the inside after you help someone,especially without profits. So,I'm not doing this for the rank or the color of my username. I'm doing this because it sounds fun and filling. And,to make chickensmoothie a friendlier place. Not one of those places where the new people get called n00bs,and are picked on. Thats not what I want. Chickensmoothie isn't like that and I don't want it to be,EVER. Its worth a shot,and I'd be fully committed to it! But not too obsessed of course.

(I began posting in December 2009 :3)

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
(if it's less than 300, do not apply)
I have made 7519 posts on CS, but 7520 if you are to count this one. ^o^

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Chicken Smoothie is basically my life. I play all seven days of the week... Unless something happens and I can not log on that day, but that would be very rare.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
Unless I have limited internet connection, I play CS for around five to eight hours and I'm very active on the forums. When I have limited connection to the internet, I can be on one to three hours, and four if I'm lucky.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
(for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation? Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert? Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?)
I don't have the guts to yell at anyone, even members I am fairly annoyed with. Sadly, I do not speak any other language than English, so I wouldn't be much help to people who speak different languages. I can understand if you want someone else who is fluent in other languages. I enjoy making new friends and I'm compatible with everyone, even those who have trouble socializing with other people and members. I like answering questions and I would always be there to help out. c: I have been a mini-mod on two or three threads here on CS, and one of those threads is still active. I also can read chatspeak fairly well, so I wouldn't have much problem understanding members.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I enjoy helping other members and I'm very patient. ^^ To help CS like this would be a huge honor and much of a responsibility. <3 I have a 'humorous' sense of humor and making CS a better place is my ultimate goal. I go n the introductions board once or twice every week, but I'll probably go on the board more often and greet newer players... It's fun for everyone. ^o^

No because you need to be able to post on the forums.

When did Tess say there was only 24 hours left? We still need to get ours in. :/ Boo's sleeping right now and won't be up for another hour.

I do speak both English and Spanish. I have been known to aid friends with personal problems. I often visit threads where users post trade value questions and various other issues to give my own opinion. I am a very kind and outgoing person, so I am easy to talk to.
6. Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I enjoy helping people a great deal. I love introducing new members to the site, and I also pour information to anyone in need of help. It brings joy to my heart to know that I've given someone more information than they had before.

What date did you register as a CS member?:I had first joined CS in September 08,but felt lost and lonely, and quickly lost interest,so I quit.Then,forgetting about my old account,I joined again in March 09,and realized what I had missed out on.
How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):I have 326 posts as of now.
How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:I usually go on every day,unless there is something happening in the real world that I must attend to.I play sports,so game nights I usually can't go on,and I do have other events,but for the most part I am on.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:I normally visit somewhere around 2-3 hours,spread out through the course of the day between my eating,sleeping,drawing,sports,and reading hours.I know this doesn't sound like a lot,but I do have a life beyond CS.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation? Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert? Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?)I am in the progress on learning Norwegian,but this may not be very helpful until I have completed the basics.However,I am always told by family and friends that I am a patient and tolerant person,and that I am good at making compromises when it comes to problems between multiple people.It is a common in my house for me to hear my parents tell me they can't believe I could stand so-and-so,and my friends all tell me I am amazing at explaining things from class to them.I also consider my trade-value-sense to be relatively good,but then again,so does everyone.^^
Why do you want to be a General Helper?
This question brings back dark memories of being cheated,lied to,and essentially spat on by older,'better' players.
My overall goal is to bring other players through the darkness of being a newbie,and helping them on the way to knowing right and wrong,being kind to newer players,and knowing a good trade when they see one.I understand that just about every person trying out for this says this,but I ABSOLUTELY adore helping people out.It gives me a sense of accomplishment,and I love that fluttering feeling in my belly after helping someone with something they don't comprehend.I know it sounds weird,but sometimes at school I will almost obsessively help friends with unfriendly concepts until it makes complete sense to them.I don't ever want this place to become dark and unfriendly like some sites I've seen,and I don't want CS to become a place where newbies get slammed for asking an innocent question.
But most of all,I know what it's like to be tricked by someone pretending to be your friend,and it hurts,especially when they quit answering your friendly PMs after an "incident",and I don't want anyone else to undergo the same pain and frustration.I don't want anyone to feel lost,confused,or angry.I want them to have a good time,and enjoy a game worth playing.
