Heya, I'm Type: Sparky (or Sparky) but you probably knew that already, and I'm applying for... either Sentinel or Moderator, really. I can't decide and I've filled both roles before, so I'll let you people decide whether I get Sentinel, Moderator, Internship for either, or none at all based on this and anything else you know about me.

Whatever you do, don't give me Code Admin, because I suck at coding :P

Introduction
I've been on this wiki since June 16, 2016 (wow, that's far back... I can't even believe it myself oof) and I've basically seen everything since then - from the humble beginnings of the Tale of Diep and eventually DCoW as the Fan Ideas Page, to Ursuul's rise as the Wiki leader, to the new Staff overhaul and it's been quite a ride. I've been watching all this time, coming and going with the updates to diep and arras. These days, though, most things are normal - people editing their Conceptions, occasionally checking Arras, being friendly in chat. Sometimes a bit of vandalism, but that gets reverted pretty quickly. I hang around in chat with the others that usually hang around in chat, and whatever happens there happens. I play quite a lot of forum games too. I sometimes do mass sweeps, which is the only thing that might set me apart even just a bit from the average user, but still, I just see myself as somebody that's active and normal. Enough about my biography though, I think you know enough about me by now.

So why am I applying for Staff?
Well, to tell you the truth, I just feel like I can do more. I'm active again, now that the Conceptions and Arras are on the rise, and want to make the most of that. I'm on this place quite a lot every day and see the old redirect and criteria-failing conception or bad behaviour in chat every once in a while and feel like "I could help stop this", but can't. I just want to be committed to doing that extra bit more for a highly trafficked wiki, be it in chat or in articles/forums.

Anyway, here's my obligatory pros and cons that you all saw coming but didn't know how long it'd take:

Pros

 * Active on chat, articles, and forums alike.
 * Has good grammar and always apply it to articles and formal discussions.
 * Knows the Wiki, Conception, Comment, Forum, and Staff Policies all very well (despite their mostly being "use common sense" ;P)
 * Supportive of many Wiki projects.
 * Is a Rollback and Discussions Moderator on the Clash Royale Wiki.
 * Has been every staff position on this Wiki (especially in the Dark Era... oof)
 * Drones around New Edits quite a lot
 * Knows what Staff rights are for (they're for being used in the right way to help the Wiki based on which ones you have, if that hasn't already been said)
 * Friendly
 * Does big jobs when needed (such as the Builds page cleanup or, currently, reviewing the Arras pages)
 * Has reverted a lot of vandalism, stopped a lot of unhelpful things, etc.
 * Usually chill when discussing
 * Tries to help when people ask for it

Cons

 * Likes to get a bit too involved in things for own good sometimes
 * Can have a short temper
 * Used to be really immature and cringey (I pass it off as "my old cringey self" but it happened nonetheless; it's also what got me demoted on DCoW that time)
 * Can sometimes be lost on what to do (basically, can't decide sometimes)
 * Can sometimes be too angry/chill/etc. (like here, is this too chill for a résumé)
 * Comes and goes in activity with how the games go (I'll be way more active if diep/arras is active)
 * Can go on in long walls of text when it's not appropriate, or break up their sentences when it's not appropriate either (don't know how much this one matters, but may as well mention it)
 * Sometimes goes slowly (which can have an impact on how fast I finish things)
 * May be oblivious to important stuff sometimes
 * Has English grammar and spelling (is this even important at this point?)
 * Has a terrible sense of humor

Other

 * English timezone (meaning I can be on when other Staff aren't, but will miss out on big events when all the Staff are online and I'm asleep)


 * Current overflow of Sentinels


 * Current underflow of Moderators

Afterword
Welp, that's all for my too chill and horrible-humor-infested  Résumé. Do what you will with it, judge it, I don't know, I'm not in charge from here on. Thank you for reading this and have a good day!

Random message: doubly thank you for reading all the way to the end!
