Personally, I used to staff a smaller server a good few years ago (back in 2015).
I quit Minecraft for a long while, and came back around this time last year (roughly when I found ManaCube!). When I got more involved in the community and the server, I was absolutely addicted! I had always wanted to try staffing again, purely because I enjoyed it so much when I was younger, and being older now I felt like I’d be way more capable.
After just under a month of playing Olympus, I decided to go for it, and wrote an application on Dec 1st. Within a week, I believe I was put in reviewing, then around the 23rd, I was told I was being accepted! It was so surreal to me how quickly I was accepted, but I am so grateful that I was.
Here we are ~9 months later, and I’m super proud of where I am, and am so grateful to have the opportunity to give back to this awesome community.
