 * Name: Monsoonjr99
 * Position: Currently Content Moderator; applying for Admin
 * Skype: monsoonjr99
 * Date joined community/Mapping: September 16th, 2014
 * Date joined wiki: September 21st, 2014
 * Experience: I've been part of the community for almost 3 years now. I've seen many alt attacks from various altmakers, such as Trio, Opret, Stockholmer, ASEAN, X-caliph, RODEBLUR, etc. As many know, I used to host Monsoonjr's Minecraft Server, and still own Mappercraft. Although I might have gotten lazy with the "admin-work" on the Minecraft server, resolving frequent arguments, figuring out "who did what?", and deciding who and how long to ban is harder work than banning Neldonax alts that spam pages with "$9999999999999999". I also have experience with moderating the forums as a discussions mod in the various games on the Fun & Games board, plus MITW. I also want to point out I have some coding experience, including Javascript and CSS, which as an admin I can utilize well with the wikia's CSS and community JS.
 * Describe yourself and what you will do in the community (don't forget to describe the community): I started my Minecraft Server as a place for the community to hang out and RP with factions and such. I also play MITW and forum games often and keep the month pages up to date. I don't play in page-based map games that often though, but I'm planning on participating in them more often in the future, and keeping drama in check. The community is more active and there are more new users as of late, but one concern I have about the wiki is that it's getting too far off course from mapping (Linguavision and other contests, too much focus on map games and comments for WAM, etc.). I might seem like a hypocrite for playing forum games, but I want to start focusing more on editing mapper/series/episode/nation pages in the future to improve the original core of the wiki. I also want to help bring more focus to that "wiki core" within the community to help make TFOE the "Mapping Wiki" again, since a "wiki" for mapping was originally supposed to be like Wikipedia, but for the mapping fandom. I have a feeling this might actually improve WAM more than map games or comment spam.
 * Have you misbehaved in the past? - A few times well over a year ago. I was involved in some stupid wars in late 2014 - early 2015, where I vandalized Sunburn's rebel wiki with the Anniversary war, spammed chat in the "holy wars", and vandalized Starring's user page in the War to End All Wars. Later, I did get involved in the April Fools Crisis of 2015, where I moved a map game page to a meme title. Since then, I have matured a lot, and the only real misbehavior I remember was the Queued Map Games category which circumvented a rule and fucked up a bunch of map games before they could start, which was over a year ago.
 * Time available/active: I live in California, which means I am yet another North American user applying for administration. I have recently graduated high school, and probably won't start college until after another move to a different city, so I will probably be way more active throughout the day after the move and before college. I don't know exactly when the move will be, but I'll start preparing for it soon, so my activity might slowly drop in the next few months until it happens (For now I'll still be active like I have been this summer). The activity clock on my user page is a good indicator of when I'm likely to be active, and I update it with schedule changes. Typically, until I begin college, I am active on the wiki between 1600 and 0400 UTC. Keep in mind I am yet another western user, so I might not be in the optimal time-zone to deal with alts, but I will work to ban them when I do see them around.
