 * Name: AenMaps, although you may know me as Aen
 * Current position: Content Moderator
 * Applying position: Administrator
 * Skype: My Discord is Aen#6182. I do not use Skype anymore, so it would be pointless putting it here.
 * Date joined community/Mapping: 22nd March 2015
 * Date joined wiki: 26th March 2015
 * Experience:
 * I have been in this community for almost three years, and I have experienced many of its ups and downs. I have seen new users grow to become successful and retire, I have seen friendships form and disintegrate, and I have watched as this Wikia fell into a slow but steady decline. I, as an active user, have a duty to this Wikia, but I want that duty to become part of my job as an Administrator.
 * I have actively contributed to the Wikia over the past three years, especially in the map game sector. Arguably, map games are what has kept this Wikia so active. Or at least a contributing factor. I have also consistently and frequently advertised the Wikia on other sites and attempted to expand the userbase of the Wikia.
 * I have spent 3 full years as a cadet in the Royal Air Force, which operated through my school. I used this experience to learn a variety of skills, including teamwork, leadership, and teaching. My time in the RAF has proved to be very successful. Unfortunately, I decided to discontinue this so that I could focus on my Advanced Level Examinations instead.
 * I spent just under two years moderating a small private/public creative Minecraft server with some friends a couple years ago. After we merged with another server and made the server public, we had a lot of trolls and a few hackers too. During my time there, I was able to establish my skills as a moderator. Unfortunately, the server was hit with a DDoS attack, and after the event, the server became largely inactive. The owner was forced to close the server after some time.
 * I have been running Mapper Tournament since January. Since I revived the series of tournaments with the third edition, the tournament has grown exponentially, becoming very popular. Mapper Tournament 6 was a huge success, and Mapper Tournament 7, being held in the Wikia’s own Discord, has itself expanded the TFOE userbase and contributed to the exponential expansion of TFOE activity. Despite my resignation as judge after MT5, I have turned it into a community, with more tournaments, the first being Mapper of the Fortnight, also held in the Discord, which has proved to be largely successful in meeting my targets. With this, I will be able to help underrated mappers who deserve the attention they crave.
 * I am an active moderator on a number of Discord servers related to mapping. These include the TFOE server (which I created), Vorigar VoidViper (I’m a Groye, which is essentially a lower moderator), The Mapping Community, and The Four Kingdoms, to mention few. In TFOE, since the Winter Polls, I have rewritten the rules, created the Staff Rules (including the Owner system), introduced Trainee Moderators officially, created the Leaderboard updates, started Question Of The Day, started Mapper of the Fortnight, brought Mapper Tournament 7 to the Discord, and improved the Trainee Moderator system. I've also purged the Pending users from February and before who were still Pending, created the thread game channels to create more activity, and re-organised the channels.
 * Describe yourself and what you will do in the community:
 * I'm a 17-year-old British dude living in Birmingham with his whole life ahead of him. I have Indian ancestry, as my family is from Gujarat. I am currently in Sixth Form and looking at Universities to go to. I am studying Mathematics, Geography, and Philosophy at A-level, and I am looking to do Human Geography (or just a BA in Geography) at Cardiff University (it's pretty aspirational, though). I was introduced to mapping through the music, and from there I was introduced to the Wikia.
 * I would describe myself as a very determined and highly motivated person. I do take my job seriously but I’m able to see things in perspective and believe I’m quite easy-going to work with. I’m an optimist rather than a pessimist – but I’m also a realist and I cope well when the going gets tough; I’m very good at finding solutions to problems. Above all, I would say I’m a positive and enthusiastic person – and I relish a challenge. I am a very outgoing and easygoing individual. You can ask anyone who knows me closely and they'll agree. I'm always happy to help people. I'm quite ambitious, and I always want to improve and expand the Wikia in every way possible. I'm a team player, so I am always willing to work with and collaborate with others. With any project I start, I am motivated, methodical, and industrious. I put my all into anything I do.
 * I will always keep the Wikia safe, and I will make it a place for friendly discussion and not conflict. I will promote the Wikia and make sure it becomes more active. I strive for neutrality, and will not take any sides in any particular conflict. I will keep people from throwing themselves into conflicts, and make the Wikia much more friendly for people.
 * Have you misbehaved in the past? I have never been blocked or banned for any particular reason. I have been known to be immature and childish, although this was in April 2015. It has been almost three years since these isolated incidents and I assure you that this will not happen again. I have grown into a very mature and calm individual.
 * Referees: These individuals will vouch for my capability to become a respected and capable member of staff. Priceless008, JMathias23, Sidewinder291102, Finn Mapper
 * Time available/active: Weekdays - 4PM to 10PM; Weekends - 11AM to 7PM. (All times are in Greenwich Meridian Time [+-0]/ British Summer Time [+1] [when applicable]). It is very easy to reach me, and I am usually available on a variety of different platforms. You can message me on the Wikia, Discord, Google Plus, Youtube, or Twitter. I will be as active as possible on the Discord.
