Forum:Adminship request - Scarface11235

Yello fellow dwellers of the Vault, it is I, Sacrphais, once again writing an application, this time asking for a place amongst our most revered administrators. Yes, I’ve decided upon finally taking the plunge and officially apply for adminship, for a number of reasons and some nagging. As for me, I’ve had an account here since early February (I thought it was late February actually, shows how much I know…), but I didn’t actually start being seriously active in editing until the Achievement system kicked, being a simple blogpost lurker before then. Since then I’ve been on here most every day, bar a few, keeping constant vigilance over recent changes and keeping the chat pleasurable, both with my splendid company and, since I became a chat moderator, by keeping it safe from the evil of trolls and rule breakers alike. Moving swiftly towards the point at hand; adminship (this time I’m certain that there’s supposed to be a “ship” in the word!). There’s a concrete reason or two as to why I’m applying. First of all my morning routines include browsing the Vault and fraternising with fellow editors in chat whilst enjoying my breakfast (most oftenly a sandwich and hot chocolate, if you’re interested), and I’m faced with an utterly frustrating situation. In the wee hours of the day, around 6am to 1pm (GMT +1), there’re, more often than not, no active administrators, leaving us in quite a pickle when any vandals happen to show up. Many times I’ve had to revert vandals for hours waiting for an admin to arrive. One time in particular, me, Mara and Gauzz fought an organised pack of vandals for two hours until help arrived. I happen to be on most of these hours, or at least I check in regularly multiple times during this time period, making me able to combat such malicious wrongdoers.

The reasons why (in a fancy bullet point list!)

 * This reason is probably the most used one, but that’s probably because there’s a kernel of truth behind it, and that is the tools. Having to hail an admin every time vandals are on the loose, a person is wildly trolling or insulting on a blogpost or a mischievous user is making bogus pages gets tiresome, and I can imagine that it gets equally tiresome coming on the Vault and constantly seeing “Ban this user” or “Kick this troll” on one’s talk page.
 * I’m well aware of the Wiki’s guidelines, and I try to edit the Vault’s articles so that they may adhere to them, be it strategy, faulty capitalisation or the article’s sections being in the wrong order.
 * I’m active in hours of the day when we lack active admins, making the wiki vulnerable of vandalism and such nonsense.

Major contributions
I’m not sure of how “‘’major’’” some of these are, but here they are.
 * 1) Yet again, my activity. Fleetingly active from 6am to 4pm, active from there until I go to bed (with the exception of Saturdays, PnP night!). I am also active in both chat and on major blog posts, keeping a watchful eye (and getting in the occasional heated canon debate).
 * 2) Splitting many consumable pages and making disambiguation pages for them, in keeping with Wiki article guidelines. Would’ve split more if Jspoel hadn’t had the Quick Draw perk. Damn he’s fast o.0
 * 3) Wikifying a lot of Fallout 3 armour pages that had been forgotten and had fallen into darkness.

Games

 * Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game.
 * Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game.
 * Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (barely played, though).
 * Fallout 3.
 * Fallout: New Vegas.

Who exactly am I, then...?
To begin with, I am strongly opinionated, have no doubt about it, and I'm not the first one to back out of a debate. I am, however, not so proud as to never back down, and I know fully well when to concede the argument. I am active on the different debates around the Vault, and I always pick the winning side try to stay as objective as possible, and I try to be as polite as possible. I am very passionate about role playing games, the canon of my favourite role playing games, as well as role playing elements (yeah, RPG nerd, I know). I also try to give new editors a helpful push in the right direction (we've all been new here, and we experienced editors are scary as hell). I’d also like to note that my cuddliness has not diminished at all since my moderator application. I am, in fact, even cuddlier :3

Earlier votes

Ta da?
Well, I guess that's it. Please vote as fairly as possible, if you see me as undeserving, vote no. I would also like to get as much constructive criticism as possible, I'd like to use this as an opportunity to learn and grow as a member of the community. Thankers for your time.

 * You're an admin on Fallout Answers; why not here? Besides, it'll be good to have an admin online while the Yankees and Brits go to sleep. --Kastera (talk) 23:04, November 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes that amount of effort put into a request should never go unrewarded Brotherhood-overlord-6 23:12, November 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I've been waiting for this to come for some time now, and finally it has. Your help here, especially on the recent changes, has been invaluable. Knowing you are around checking them, always has given me a feeling that I know The Vault is protected from harm. Also, it has made me able to do some steady work of my own, instead of needing to check things for myself every few minutes. And you're available at hours no admins are present, another big plus.

I cannot bestow anything upon him but my vote, not only because he should get it, but to thank him for being awesome :) NextTattoo.jpg"Even In Death May You Be Triumphant"

 * Yes Definitely. UserGreatMara.pngge 22:53, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Dammit, Skyrim!! I should have known about this application way earlier if it weren't for that game. Anyway, It's a definite yes for Scar, he knows the rules and has a great sense of judgement. And it never hurts to have more reliable help around here. Hell, I could go on for pages about why Scar should be an admin, but I'll spare you all the time and just leave it at this. Yes Man default.pngUser Avatar talk.png
 * Yes Of course, you're very helpful in finding useless edits but keep beating me to some of them >.< All the best! KiwiBird 14:11, November 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes Scar, as far as I see, you deserve this adminship along with all the bells and whistles it gives. And the pancakes. Oh the pancakes. :P With you all the way dude.
 * Yes Good contributor. That's the only thing I can say to this guy. -GauzzRifleSigpic.png "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."

Yes Man, just for the record, I think we all would have known more things if it weren't for Skyrim;)-- 13:42, November 18, 2011 (UTC)
