Kevo's Introduction

Introduction Intro (Introception)
Well, I guess it's about time to start on my little introduction thing because I've read everything on the forum today and am honestly, a little bored atm. Well, first you should know that I'm from the Great White North, Canada. I am however literally closer to Niagra Falls than Toronto so there's better Canadians than me. Most people that talk to me say that I don't have an accent Canadian Accent and that I almost never say 'Eh'. To learn more about the word 'Eh' just google it. It's pretty much the exact same word as 'Huh' except that if you don't hear someone you don't say eh. Anyway, don't know what else to say from here so I'll just give you a brief history of my times at Oasis.

Beginning Days
Well, back in late January my brother got this wonderful game called Minecraft. I'm not going to lie to you, he explained it and it sounded rather stupid. It was from then on that I saw him play the game and thought to myself "Meh, I've got $20.00 to spend..." so, needless to say, I bought the game. I played Single-Player for aboot about a day and went on a site that had the best minecraft servers. It was at that time that I scrolled from page 1-10 looking for a server that was Canadian. I didn't find one so from that point I was thinking "Meh, I'll just join the next American Server, granted that they are nice." I joined one and was ridiculed for being Canadian, as I am in most American games/places, so I went back and joined the next one. It was at that time that I joined Oasis-SMP and was a guest. I was greeted by MarviNacho, FinalWorld, Cloudkesh and AtaSky. I saw that most of them tolerated the fact that I was Canadian and were nice to guests so I decided to stay. 3 Days later, I saw Ariley92 say that he was going to add in the 'Member' rank for the members that haven't been here so long. I decided I wanted to be a Trusted and posted my Application on the forums called: "Kevo235 for Trusted or at least Member Rank".

The Early Months of my Oasian Experience
Much to my dismay, (a little I guess) I only got member. I tried as hard as I could to help people on the forums and build wonderous things like "Winterville", My first city and the Giant Diving board (+64 to -63 blocks, a REAL thrill ride). I was managing my town one day when suddenly I was kicked from the server. Furious, I re-joined to yell ADMIN ABUSE and much to my amazement, was the rank of Trusted. Well, I was very happy then and was helping InvertPanda, A fellow Canadian, eh, one day making the 'Oasis Games Area' when he told us all to get TeamSpeak. Well, I decided to finally get TeamSpeak after being on the server for a month and found out that most of the Mods and Admins, even if they weren't playing on the server, were on TeamSpeak. Needless to say I got addicted to TeamSpeak and would go on it and the server for excesses of 8 hours every day. This lasted until I finally decided to build up the strength to go and make an application for Veteran.

Veteran Application, Various Builds
Having been on the servers for over 2 months, I figured sometime in late March that maybe it was time enough for me to be a Veteran. I signed up and made my application, including my Age: 16, my Time on the server, my list of people that would vouch and many more wonderous things like my favourite favorite Projects and who I had helped. About a week later I was thrilled to hear that I had been chosen to be a candidate for Veteran! I was so happy but somewhere in my heart, I knew I wouldn't get it. I was right. By 3 votes, Bmxfloris beat me and he was given the glorious title of Veteran. I tried the month after and the month after that but was never chosen as a candidate since. Needless to say I was heart-broken. It was in those elections though, that dtfgator said that "Neither of us deserve Veteran yet". Ironically, two months later, he became a Guide. Anyways, from then on I slowed my time on Oasis from 8 hours a day to 6 hours then to 4 hours then to none for about a week. I finally decided to re-join the server and help people and give myself another chance at Veteran. I wasn't chosen to be a Candidate. I still remained faithful and decided it was time to make a HUGE project, one of the likes that NOBODY HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE!!! With the unexpected help of Sinical, I was given the supplies to make a HUGE 50x50 Sandstone pyramid. Keep in mind that, that is 2500 blocks. When I was finally finished that, I decided to go one step futher by making it a 4 layered 4 cornered spleef arena where, the losers of the first round got to contest again and those losers finally got to have one more go at it until there was a 1st place winner all the way to a 4th place winner loser. Then, I grieved at the fact that exactly one day after it was shown to the public, one day after over 26 hours of relentless work, the server got a new map and the pyramid was forever lost.

Other Projects
I then decided never to make a project of that proportion again until I decided to help Wolfout with his and my 64x64x5 ''Lost City''. The project took many more hours of work and many boring nights before it was completed. My desperate attempt at being noticed by the public as an okay builder, and then school had taken me over. I couldn't get on Minecraft as much because, being in Grade 11, the schoolwork is relentless. I gave the project to Wolfout for him, but I was never realised as an Artisan. I then thought, hey... I've done everything in my power to help others, to build myself and the community wonderous things, given my last 5 months to the server and still, I'm not realised. I decided that giving long hours to the server was completely pointless and nobody had recognised me so I should just quit the server. I had then quit, but was so anxious to look and see what It had become since I left that I'd go check on it. Again... and again..... and again........ and again. I just thought to myself, I'll just rejoin the server. And so I did. Since then I've been too discouraged to build anything or help anyone much however because of school and recent events that I just decided to have fun on the server. I decided to see others' creations and deeply respect the amount of work that they've put in it. I'm seen mostly enjoying the spawn as it is much better than any of my own creations and then I saw on the forums that Vegeta had said that "He's doing what most people do when they want a promotion... He's jumping around spawn just waiting for people to promote him" or something along those lines.

Update
Well, I've been here for a while longer than this was posted... 7 more months or someting like that... and I read it over again and saw how badly I wanted Veteran. It wasn't until 5 or 6 months after this that I finally got it back. I got Artisan along the line somehow and on my birthday, October 17th, I got a $20.00 donation in my name. I've tended to act more maturely, or at least try, since I was demoted from Veteran. I think it helped me in the long run. These were days in which I was somewhat a rebel of sorts and Oasis wasn't exactly the most peaceful server out there. I remember flipping a coin once to see if I'd stay. Obviously we know what that outcome was. I got Guide a few months ago... February, if I recall. The same time as my 1 year anniversary on Oasis. It's been a hell of a run, i'll tell you that. Ever since then i've tended to not build anything besides the odd project here and there and just explore. It's more fun to observe the talent of others than to try to build something of your own, in my opinion. Flying around in creative mode is my new passion. I like to take screenshots of all the happenings around me. Unfortunatly, making a compliation will take a while with the new amount of screenies I have. I may need to make several... I constant aspire to become better than what I am at whatever it is that I am doing, so obviously (i'll say it right now) I want to someday be promoted to Admin. Obviously, that'll take time, but I hope the time comes someday in which I can provide Oasis with the maximum extent of my help. I also try to keep the rules exact and orderly. I've recently added some colours to it to make it look 'nice and shiny' as I always say.

In Closing...
Well, I'd like to say that Oasis is the pride of my life at the moment. I try to get on as much as I can during the weeks and weekends and try to help as many people as possible while doing so. It's been over 14 months since I first joined, hell of a time it's been too, and I can only expect better experiences to come.

That was one hell of a wall of text and I don't blame you if you don't read it. Somehow, it got seriously negged. Weird, huh? Must have been the time I pissed a lot of people off.

Extension/More shit. Yeah. This Keeps Going, Right?
Hell yeah, it's about time I got to updating this.. Last update was like a year and 4 months ago or something. Man, time really flies for me on Oasis.

Lots of major things have happened on Oasis since the update, most of them involving me. In the time that I spent not updating this, I've been doing staff shit, sorting issues out, making suggestions and getting decently involved in the teamspeak community, mostly.

Some major things that I've helped make happen are the demotion of WesleyMD, who was an admin that abused his powers a lot and became pretty powerhungry at the end there. Since then, I've gotten to know him as a person and he's not really as bad as he sounds, although what he did is definitly something an admin shouldn't do, I think he's a pretty chill dude most of the time, although he can certainly flip like a mofo if you give him a reason.

I've also gotten proof that Huntermon1 and dylstrosity were on alternate accounts and basically lead the investigation on proving that they were those people. I don't want to go into too much detail, but a lot of bluffing and CSI shit got them to admit it before we were 100% sure that they were. We did gather a decent amount of proof about it.

I've also gotten a bunch of other people that were causing problems on the server their just desserts as well. When it comes to the rules, and justice, I can tell you that the extent I will go to to make sure that the rules are upheld is quite something. I feel like i'm bragging a lot, but I guess that's what intros are for.

As for me, I've continued to be as active as I can with the community, staff and even heading projects for the staff, such as the Oasis Pixelmon server.

My specialties are writing and upholding rules, debating about ideas, thinking of solutions to problems and potential problems, maintaining people and tasks, ranting about things and finding meaning in some of the most bizarre things.

My hobbies include Minecrafting a lot, debating with people about various things, history, writing, poetry (which is private.. it's like a diary okay.), sometimes doing artsy things, and speaking my mind about things that I love. I also have a taste for irony as you can see by my avatar, and trolling people in good fun. Sorry if I troll you too much btw.

I love shows like The Walking Dead (also the comics, can't wait for more to come out read em all), Breaking Bad (even though i'm in the process of watching it still), and I fucking love zombies. Like for real, zombie games, comics, shows, the whole idea of the apocalypse and survival, love it. If you've heard of it, Homestuck is pretty amazing too. When it comes to music I fucking love Iron Maiden, Sabaton, Dream Theater, Metallica, Megadeth, ABBA, Steve Miller, BTO, CCR, lots of bands. Mostly old rock and roll as well as metal, pop from the 80s fucking lots.

Holy cow.

Nice introduction :thumbs:

Wow, I just read through the entire thing. I now feel educated.

Nice introduction by the way.

Wow. Just Wow.

I believe my exact words were "bmx deserves veteran more than either of us at the moment".

Also, I didn't get guide for a good 2 months after that election. The first election was Bmx, you, and me. Bmx won that, then I stopped playing for like 2 weeks, during which fastang was promoted. I came back and applied for veteran again, and it was myself, you, whitetiger, and jonchen. Jonchen and I both got it in that election.

Then, like 2 weeks after that, I got guide.

I said that :O

Oops, I read that as 2 weeks.

Wow. So your still trusted then? You should be veteran...or at least trusted+

My intro is CRAP compared to this one. You do deserve veteran.

I'm not asking for Veteran in this, I'm implying that the system needs changed for the better. I'm saying that I applied that many times but i've been told why I haven't got on the list from Ariley. Regardless, Veteran should not be a "Apply once, Apply never again" Thing. It should also be chosen by staff instead of people for who helps the most, is on the most and all the other things that makes them chosen for candidates.

I know your not asking for it. I'm just saying you deserve it.

nice intro, but are you sure it's long enough?

We understand that the ranking system needs some serious tweaking and we've discussed many options,

Idk why but I feel like grave digging some topics. So, If you didn't know me before, now you kind of do. Feel free to make a conversation with me if you see me on the server :D

This is definately... definately.. definately really interesting. I like that you don't use Eh and Huh because they're ugly words. I don'y like them either. Oh, by the way, your very reliable and I can see how you didn't think that people didn't respect your work. Same happened to me, and I got over it. I decided that whining wouldn't get me anywhere, so yah, that's another long "introduction" for me. I don't know if I'll ever make an intro, but you know, everything changes nowadays.

Hai i be lcfrasso

Jesus christ on buttered toast. I put on sad violin music about a quarter of the way through and I must say it worked perfectly. You should get a movie deal for this. Alright enough trolling XD. Seriously man that really stinks, after reading this I must say that you look like a fellow that deserves veteran.

Ya, considering this is over half a year old, I see why you'd mistake that. Wow, didn't know people actually read through the whole thing.. Maybe I should update it a little.

You should, I think I've read this a total of 4-5 times. I've love reading walls of text of forums, not being sarcastic, either.

Heh, I decided to update it. I guess that's all i'm gonna put here.

Read it, more pl0x.

I see a lot of my story here.
