5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?: Well, I have recently been greeting newer players in the introduction section, and answering questions if people have any. I am very level headed, I do not over-react at things, and I am quite patiant. I also know *some* spanish, basic spanish, at a seventh grade level, in wich Is improving. I also do consider myself quite knowledgeable about many aspects of the site, wich will be benificial if I gain the position. Im fermiliar with the oekaki boards and know how to use the program.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?: Recently I have wanted to realy help out on CS, I have found that I realy like helping new players, and most people in general. I have been on CS almost two years (8 days untill two<3) and I feel my knowledge about the site can be benificial to new players. I also like explaining things, sometimes a little to much. I over explain, to make sure my point is understood, and I think that could help me if chosen for the position. I like making new players feel welcome, and share my love of the site to them, Sometimes I gift older pets to newer players, In hopes they will love the site as much as I do. I just love CS so much, I think that helping the community more would put my knowledge to use :3

Also, Good luck to everyone else! May the odds be EVER in your favor!

Before I consider filling out an application, I have a few questions.

First of all, how big of a commitment is this? About how many questions would General Helpers receive in a day?

Second, how many days can we "take off" before we're kicked off the General Helpers team? I'm usually able to get on my computer for a good solid three hours or more everyday but sometimes I may have an event (Ex. like homework or going to my younger brother's baseball game) that shortens my computer access time.

Thank you for reading and I appreciate all answers :3

Well more people join every day so it will not be a limit but you will not get them all because there is other genaral helpers there aswell but you will get questions some days only a few and some days a lot no one can ever tell

and i don't know even if you get kicked off but i suggest you need to stay active as posable but like i said before you wouldn't be the only one so you can have time to do that stuff just make sure you get on CS aswell!

i hope that helped you out

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: 11th December 2009.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying)?: 912. Excluding this post.

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7 days a week.

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: Around 5 hours, on school days. On holidays usually around 5-13 hours. Even if I don't post, I just like to browse around CS.

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?: I do have a little experience in peer mediation. I speak fluent twi. And currently studying french. I would definatly not consider myself a trade value expert ( I would rate myself a 6 in trading) xD. I only have limited knowledge about trading. I do answer forum questions, now and then.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I would love to be a general helper, because I honestly love to help people. I have been on CS for over a year now, and would love to help new members, around CS, and even older members. I have plently of time to spare to help, and I rather enjoy spending time, to answer or solve other members questions. I have been told I am quiet an easy going person and can remain easy tempered in dificult situations and help any other member of staff if ever need.

I applied to be a newbie helper (before it changed to general helper), I believe my account was around 6 months at the time. I have matured since there, and also have been waiting for the oppotunity ever since I got turned down from last year's applications.

I would also like so say, thank you for the chance to become a general helper, and good luck to all who are applying.

1.What date did you register as a CS member?: Fri Dec 11, 2009

2.How many posts have you made in the forum?: 3632

3.How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 5-7 Days a week

4.How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: 8-12 Hours a day

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?: I have answered questions on the forum before, and have had some experience with peer meditation. I can also speak (with limits to typing) in French and am very comfortable with different languages.

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?: I spend alot of my time on Chicken Smoothie, always trying to help. I admit, I do have an attitude when it comes to touchy subjects, and I may not be the best choice. But, I have spent a long time on CS and believe I can help. I would love to use my time, all of it if need be, to help the people on this website who need help. Everyone has the same experience with being new, but even older members have questions sometimes. Everyone needs that somebody to help them at one time or another, new or old in our community. I may not bring great skills to the job, but I know how to act and answer questions accordingly. I am not afraid to say 'I don't know' to anyone who askes me a question, and would be responsible with this and direct them to someone who could answer their questions. I'm not great with pets, but almost anything technical I can deal with. I'm on most of the time, and even though school is starting shortly, I know I'll find time to help those in need on this website.

Good luck to the rest of the applicants! ;)
