Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required): I know the oekaki program very well as well as other art programs. I can answer many art-related questions due to my experience as a hobby artist and as a professional. I am well acquainted with the art market on CS, how it works, and how to mediate art disputes. I can read Japanese at an advanced level and write at an intermediate level. I also constantly patrol for and report spam where I see it and am vigilant about it. I have experience modding popular threads such as the Otherkin thread, The Daemian Union, and the My Little Pony fanclub. I also have experience in education and have worked as an assistant teacher abroad. I plan to return to teaching abroad.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?: The art market is one of the most thriving communities on CS. I would like to lend a hand to the artists of CS and help them grow, improve their craft, and become successful. I have always allowed questions in my inbox and have been happy to answer them. Colored name or not, I will continue to dedicate myself to the art market on CS since that is my talent and my niche on CS.

I am happy to volunteer my time for the betterment of the CS community. Thank you for considering my application.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day that I can, usually all seven days of the week.

At least two hours every day that I'm on, usually much more.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required)
There isn't really anything I can really bring to the position that others can't. I'm good at helping with questions on the site rules, on trades, and oekaki. Otherwise, nothing really special. I am going to be taking a class the Chinese language in school, although I don't know how helpful this would be. c:

Why do you want to be a General Helper?
I want to help newer players better understand the site- when I first joined, I got a warm welcome, but no one really told me about trading or rules. I was acctually scared of the moderators and pretty afraid to ask them questions. I really want other users to feel that they can come to other users and ask questions, and for them to know that they will get a good answer that will help them.
I'm not very good with problems with coding or bugs on the site, but I think I'm pretty helpful when it comes to anything else.

Thanks for the oppourtunity, and good luck to everyone else. c:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? All seven days c:
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? I'm usually on all day - though I'm in school, I have tons of free time in between classes so I usually get on in the morning, in between classes, and from 12 noon to whenever I go to bed c:
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? Having been on this site a good while, I've learned how basically everything works and I consider myself good at helping out with trades, Oekaki, and just this and that. I consider myself a very neutral person and I'm fairly good at settling disputes while staying totally unbiased.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I absolutely love ChickenSmoothie. This is practically my whole life - friends, art, everything- and I would love to be able to give back a little to the players and staff of ChickenSmoothie and help as much as I can from new players to old players and everyone and everything in between.

Thank you! c:
I wish everyone the best of luck <3

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?: 7
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?: 3-6 in the summer/weekend, 2+ on school days
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I have lots of practice with the oekaki. I have been using it since I first joined CS, and I feel very confident that I could easily explain anything it does to someone who wants to know. I am currently not bilingual, but I am going to be learning French in the very near future. I like to think that I am a nice and generous person, I've always tried to be polite and respectful when I talk to people, both in the real world and online. I have done a lot of trading, and I feel like I would be able to explain the basics of rarity and trading to a new user fairly well. I am very active on the forums, and I am in the habit of checking them very often. I can also come to CS to answer questions at almost any time (except for school), even if I don't have a computer, as I usually carry my iPod and can access the CS mobile site. I am perfectly happy to treat any new users with the same respect that I will treat older users, which many people (unfortunately) do not do. I occasionally visit the Introductions board to welcome a few new users and point them to a few helpful threads, even thought I am not already a General Helper. I am very pleased to give away pets that I don't need to any user who wants them, and I sometimes like to go to new users with gifts of pets to help them get their collections started. I also made a small adoption center where any user can get three pets a day from my trade groups.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to be able to help users on CS that need to be helped. When I first joined, I was helped very much by various users who had adoption centers and helped me get on my feet. It can be tricky to get started on a massive site like CS, and I try to help out the best that I can, but if I was a General Helper I know I could do more. I'm being completely honest in saying that It makes me feel much better to give people pets than to have them gift me. I have given complete strangers their dream pets from the rares list because I know it would make them happy. Even if I don't get chosen, this is still a wonderful opportunity and I wish everyone the best of luck in getting this position.

My Application, please read the first part carefully

At date did you register as a CS member?:

I asked Nick to delete my first account, ♥Black-cat-spirit♥ a few months ago, and I had made that account more than eight months ago. My first one, I had to delete because I had virus issues, just to clear that up. So, technically, I am not new, and I hope I still have a possability to be a General helper ^^ On my old account, I joined Saturday April 9th, 2011.

2.How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):

On my old account, 5970, and on this account, 1040*will be more soon, due to Roleplays and commenting*

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

Usually every day, unless I have a Vacation or plans. I have school starting in Septermber, but I'll still be on every day possible, which will still, most likely, be every day.

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

Well, usually quite a few hours. it depends on the day and what I'm doing, and if I have any plans, but on a regular day without them, from when I wake up for quite a while, then I usually leave for a short while, and come back/ When school starts, I may have slightly shorter time due to homework, but I'll still get on when possible. On school days, I come on in the morning, check everything, stay on for a bit, then leave, and come back for a few hours when I come home, before or after I do homework, depending on the day.

5.Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position (this is not required):

I use Google Translate, so I can translate anything in other languages to my own, and vice versa, so questions in other languages shouldn't be a problem. I'll be learning Irish Gaelic as soon as possible, once I get the program for it. Currently, I'm helping a person because they're in need of it, and if you'd need proof by any change ;3 , check my messages. I'm quite patient, and I'm ready to help. I am fairly good with trades, but of course, I'll start looking to some other well-known trade helpers to see if they can give me advice. I have read the Advent list, the main rares list, and some other very helpful forum tip pages, so I think, now at least, I'm a fair trader. I know the Oekaki tools, and, though I'm not the best at drawing, I know how to use the tools. I am willing to, if I get sent a question I cannot answer, give the person a link to another helper willing to answer questions, that i believe will be able to answer theirs. On a few RPs, I am a Mod, the owner, or a mini-mod. Such as a Hunger Games RP, Windfarmer's Cat Adopts, my own Hunger Games RP, and a few Warrior Cats RPs. I think even that little bit of experiance makes me at least fair in answering questions, but it's your decisions that are final here. ;3

6.Why do you want to be a General Helper?:

I think it would be fun and would make me feel good to help people around the forums. I don't get asked many questions often, due to the fact most onthe forums are already answered, and most of my site friends know enough, but I take pride in answering the little questions I have, and I'd like to answer more, as it is just something that I'd like to do. I'd try my best, and I think, due to my usual activity, I'd probably be answering lots of questions. But even if I don't become a General Helper, I'll help people to the best of my ability ^^ I feel like I'd be able to help people quite a bit, because of my activity, and the way I can keep up multiple conversations at once, which comes easily to me due to the face I tend to do it all the time, and I've gotten used to it XD I'd appreciate to be made one, but it's completely your decision whether I am or not. I hope I make it! Thanks for reading,

Bye! You might remember me from my art questions a while back XD

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? 7
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? It depends really, with school starting again for me, I'll be on probably 3-4 hours on week days, and probably 7-12 hours on Saturdays, then about 6 on Sundays.
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I'm fairly good with trades, and can at least teach someone the basics. I believe I may have helped a few users in the forum previously, but I'm not quite sure. I know a few people have PMed me looking for help with trades. In school I often help my classmates, and I'd like to say that I'm good at explaining things. I occasionally babysit my neighbor's 4 year old twins, and I used to watch my cousin quite frequently. (Who is still a handful even at eleven!) I'm capable of being calm when someone is rude to me, although I can be a bit curt when trying to get my point across peacefully. I do not know a lot about the oekaki, but I know a little. I could probably help someone with the basics.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I want to be a general helper because since the moment I got here I've noticed just how nice and kind the General Helper's are. I think that it could teach me a little more responsibility, to be just a little more patient, and I think I would be pretty good at it. I've been teaching my friend, who recently joined CS, how to send messages, send fair trades, change his signature, etc. While doing this I found I really enjoyed helping him, I want people to enjoy being on CS as much as I do and if I get picked, hopefully I can help them do that.

I consider myself quite the active member. When answering any questions, I like to be descriptive and kind in order to help the other member to the best of my ability.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I would like to be a General Helper to help others on CS get to know the site better. I like answering questions and assisting others in every way possible.
