Moderator Application Thread, Round 2

The other application thread was a bit too cluttered and out of date, so here's a new one.

Post away!

If we're posting here to gain moderatorship, then I'll put in my name.

Why: I love roleplaying. I write well and do my best to keep my posts interesting. I have moderated and administrated forums many times before and have a large amount of experience.

Non-Combat Post: The swamp sucked at John's legs as he trudged through the quagmire. His Spearow sat condescendingly on his shoulder as if mocking him for taking this detour through the swamp. Suddenly, a crack sounded to John's right, making him jump. Spearow held its breath in anticipation as whatever had made the sound came closer, pushing underbrush aside. The incessant squawking of birds in the trees stopped as a large shadowy figure emerged from the brambles and let loose a spine-chilling roar. The fight was on.

Combat Post: The sun overlooked the battle, bringing its searing gaze to bear on the two combatants. Jeremy's Pyrall stood locked with the wild Houndour, desperately trying to push it back and gain a solid footing. Sweat matted Pyrall's fur and Houndour panted heavily. Neither gave way at first, but Pyrall's endurance slowly waned. Houndour threw Pyrall back with a toss of its head and the little red Pokémon finally succumbed to fatigue. The hound growled at Jeremy, goading him on with its guttural bark.

I'll put you, Flam1n90_F1ght3r, on Prob. Moderator-ship for now, and Mattimeo, you can go back to being a Mod.

Flam1n90_F1ght3r, try not to use the attack's names (in bold at least) in the battle post or state stats have been lowered that obviously. Like instead of saying Pyrall used Ember, maybe put that Pyrall spat a jet of searing flame or something. It just adds a little more realism and a little less statistic-based updating.

Why: Nothing to this, but I'm older than the other mods you've got at the moment. I've been writing now since back in middle school, having had some works published. Even though I have difficulty with ideas some times, I never seem to run out of ideas for Pokémon. I have been a moderator here before, as well as multiple other sites. Haven't been active lately, but now my time has freed up, I am ready to put my attention back to Midamis.

Non-Combat Post: Brennen clutched tightly to the charm given to him before his grandfather's passing, hoping it would bring him some luck as he made his way down the Trail to Tin Town. His new companion circled his feet, eager to begin his training. The loose sand slipped from under their feet as Brennen and his new Florocoon set out on their adventure.

The sun beamed down brightly on the pair, making their trek through the sandy trail more of a challenge. Brennen could feel the sweat beading on his brow, dripping down to occasionally spot his shirt or into his eye, causing him to stop a moment and regain his vision. Florocoon pranced along aside his trainer, occasionally slipping and getting a face full of sand. But the pair kept moving, knowing the harder the path, the better the reward.

And sure enough, the path provides. Florocoon tripped up on something protruding from beneath the sand. He calls out to Brennen, "Flor-coon! Florocoon!" hoping to get the attention of his trainer.

Battle Post: Audrey holds her nose, trying to avoid the stench emitting from the wild Grimer as her tunneling Pokémon charges into action. Doree grabs hold of his tail, tucking his body into a ball as he uses Rollout on the suldge Pokémon. Grimer awaits the attack, a sheen going over it's body as it uses Harden. The defensive maneuver helps lower the damage taken from Rollout, but doesn't block Grimer from getting hit.

Doree spins 180 degrees, charging back towards his opponent with another round of Rollout. Grimer reaches down into the marsh, picking up a hand full of mud, slinging it at the tunneling Pokémon. The Mud Slap hits Audrey's Doree, causing it to wobble off it's course and miss the next hit with Rollout. Releasing his tail, Audrey's Pokémon leaps up, ready to make another attack on the wild Grimer.

I'll make you a Prob. Mod for now, but if you were a mod previously I'll expect you'll be promoted soon enough

Alright, I really need to apply again? Jeez, I made this topic. Oh, the irony!

Why I want to be a mod: I love Midamis, and have, on several occasions, tried to revive it myself. I want to have a large role in reviving it this time. plus, I was one of the most active and best mods on the old site. I'm a good writer, literature is my passion, and an online RP is an excellent way to expand my repertoire.

Combat post:

Non-combat Post:

I like your lengthy posts (although remember, some trainers prefer to be heavy with the mechanics), but your combat post I found a little hard to follow. Couldn't really tell who was a trainer and who was a Pokémon. As for your non-combat post, you put a lot into it. Definitely seem to have a darker presence on the world of Pokémon (good thing to me as I find it a little too light and cheery right now). Maybe it's just me wanting to check things out and try to help, but I wanted to act and was blocked by your quick paced movement of character. So, for the time being, I'm promoting you to Probationary Moderator. Put you back out into the field, see how you handle posts with each person's preference. If I see good work within the next week, I'll promote you again to Moderator status.

Dude, Stevie is amazing and we need active mods. Make him a full moderator.

I recognize his talent, but still see issues with these examples he's given me. That's why I want to see how he handles posts this week. Standing by my decision.

I found both his posts descriptive, interesting, and easy to follow. I'm not seeing an issue.

UPC, if you want to see how I handle posts, look in the old RP. The two I posted were just random ones, I've made more than 500 posts on this forum. Surely you can find some.

UPC's got admin rights for a reason, if he sees issues with a post, I take it he grounds that on valid reasoning.
