11. Describe a time when you lost control of your emotions and how you were able to cope with the situation:
The time when I had lost control of my emotions, was when my girlfriend had left me, and I was having extreme problems with my family, and all I could think about was the pain, and suffering I was going through at the time. Nothing was worth it, nothing at all. I constantly wanted to kill myself, every single day. I had tried doing it once, but I failed doing it. I think this is more than just losing control of my emotions, it's more like losing control of my sanity.
12. What do you consider in your personality to be strengths? What do you consider in your personality to be weaknesses?
A strength in my personality is that I am a mindful person. I am very thoughtful throughout many occasions, you name it. I believe that's where my overthinking problem has originated from.

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?
If a person is making racial slurs, I would first warn the person, telling them to stop what they are saying. Second warning, I would proceed with a kick. If I hear the person is still continuing to make racial slurs, I will give that person a two day ban, then following with a week if they continue.
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?
If a group of players are offended by remarks that I don't find offensive, I would tell the offended player that they should avoid what the other person is saying. If the person continues with the remarks, I will tell the player that is shooting the remarks to stop their actions. If they continue, I will mute.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
This question can be situational. If a person was micspamming and the people in the server enjoyed the micspam, I would let the person continue the micspam, but for a certain time limit. If the players in the server and I thought that the micspamming was horrid, I would mute that player.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
If another TF2SS admin was exploiting their powers, I would report it to the other admins and the owner right away, but, of course, I would record the incident, and use that recording as evidence to support my claims.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
If the person in the server is indeed speedhacking, I would take action and ban that player by the IP permanently. If the person was not hacking, I would inform the players in the server that said player is not hacking.
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?
If a regular threatens to ban another player with rules that don't exist, I would kick that player instantly. Two wrong doings in one. The person is deceiving another player by telling them they have administrative powers, AND making up rules that don't exist. Which should go right into a ban. If it happens again, a ban for a week.
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?
If a person is killing me, over and over again, and changing teams if I join the team they are on, I would kill them for it. In the game. Not literally.
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?
If a person is being a nuisance and keeps commenting those stated, I would mute the person, If they continue, proceed with a situational ban.
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?
If a person is offering free godmode for anyone who trades a hat to them, I would kick them right away. That's admin impersonation at it's finest right there. If they keep doing what they do when they join back, I would ban the player for two days.
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?
I would tell the player who bought the HH perk that it's fair, because the other player had bought a perk from the shop just like they did.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I feel as if the experiences would be exactly the same as they were before. A whole load of repetition, taking reports, responding to reports on the fourms, attending staff meetings, ETC.
