11. Describe a time when you lost control of your emotions and how you were able to cope with the situation:
One time when I was 17, my brother and I were very competitive. On this once sunny day down at the lunch tables at our school, we were having an argument about something that I cannot remember. I can however, remember both of our heads turning as we noticed this really good-looking chick that walked by. He told me that he was going to ask her out to prom before I did. So, when prom was around the corner, he made sure that I wouldn't even be able to go in the first place. When we were walking back from school two days before prom, he pushed me into an intersection, where I had been hit by a car. I had miraculously survived, but my brother got to take her to the prom. I had not told anyone what had really happened, for the sake of saving him from the backlash. I did, however, tell that one girl, who had dumped him afterwards.
12. What do you consider in your personality to be strengths? What do you consider in your personality to be weaknesses?
My strengths would be that I am extremely reliable when carrying out certain tasks, I can express myself in ways that are easily understandable, and I would never joke around in a time where it would seem inappropriate.
My weaknesses are that I do not like making promises due to the fear of not meeting up to them, I'm usually very worrisome of certain people, and I absolutely hate being the center of attention.

14. After you become an admin, how would you react to these situations below:
A: How would you deal with a person who was making racist comments?
I would first ask that person to stop making rude/discriminating comments, and leave them off with a warning. If they don't, I would warrent a kick. If they come back and continue to do the same, I would mute them temporarily.
If for some reason that they continue after the temporary mute/gag, I would silence them permanently.
B: A group of players are offended by remarks that another player made, but you yourself do not find them to be offensive. How would you respond?
I would kindly ask that player if they can stop making those remarks. If they don't, I would tell the other group of players that what they're saying isn't against the rules, and if they don't like it, they may leave if they wish.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would first make a vote to see if a majority of the server is fine with the micspam. If the vote wasn't anywhere near a majority, I would ask the spammer to stop. If they didn't, I would warrent a kick. If they came back and continued to do the same thing as before, I would mute them temporarily.
If they continued after the temporary mute, I would extend the mute duration. I would continue to extend it until they had given up or stopped.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I would ask for that Admin to stop doing what would normally be considered abuse to other players. If they didn't, I would make sure to contact the Head Staff immediately.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would connect to the server and go into spectator mode. If I see any player with sketchy movements combined with a new Steam profile, I would ban them.
If their profile isn't new and I'm still suspicious of them, I would request assistance from another Administrator.
F: A regular user threatens to ban another player if they do not comply with rules that do not exist. What will you do about it?
I would tell that user that those alleged rules listed are not part of our server rules, and to not listen to that individual.
G: A group of enemy players dominate you, ignoring everyone else and changing teams if you join the team they are on, killing only you over and over again. What will you do about it?
I would use my credits to buy my way into getting my revenge back. If I didn't possess the credits, I would leave the game and go do something else.
H: How do you deal with a player who comments publicly that: you are an asshole, the server sucks ass, and continues to insult anyone who kills them with profanity & by screaming on the mic?
I would ask nicely for that person to stop speading negativity through the mic. If they don't, I would give them a warning. If they continued after the warning, it would lead to a kick, and later silencing them if they chose not to stop.
I: A regular player on our server says that they will offer free godmode for anyone who trades a hat to them. What will you do about it?
I would ban the user for attempting to scam someone. That kind of shady business practice should never be allowed or tolerated on any server.
J: A player who bought the Headless Horsemann perk from the shop complains after another player slays him/her. What do you tell the slayed Headless Horsemann player?
There is a reason why members are capable of purchasing these kinds of shop perks: from playing on these servers for a long time. We apologize if this seems inconvenient to you. We hope you have a great day.
(...can you imagine if this was real? Lol.)
