Why would you like to be a Guide? I'd like to be Guide because I like helping out new players and drawing them into the community. I enjoy learning about Tolkien Lore and especially Server Lore, so being able to spread this knowledge in tours has been great fun. Being a Guide would allow me to have the opportunity to reach out and have the ability to run bigger events and focus more on non-building related aspects of the server which I've been interested in doing for a long while.
What makes a great Guide according to you? A great Guide to me is a friendly and helpful guide that a new player can go to for help and receive it at any time they are online. They would also be strong-suited in both Tolkien and Server Lore and have the ability to plan and run events. Another trait of a great Guide in my eyes is one who is able to get along with people.
What are your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the Guide role? My greatest strengths in my opinion would be activity and my knowledge in lore, having done lots of research on both Tolkien Lore and Server Lore and working on a lengthy server lore document. My greatest weakness would be that school might impact my activity levels (reason why I resigned from Artist) and I don't know if I would be able to effectively handle both school and MCME.
What experience have you had on MCME? I've been on MCME for 2-3 years now and in that time, I've been a Commoner and an Artist, contributing to the server and helping build it. During my time as a Commoner, I found a love for helping new players get immersed into the server and as an Artist, I not only did building things but ran smaller events (minigames and tours) and helped new players out whenever I was on/available.

Hello Mars

Thank you for applying for the rank of Guide.

We are in the process of reviewing your application and discussing it. You may be asked to carry out a trial period. This includes running minigames, tours, it events, some of which will be expected to be ran through voice chat on discord.

We'll get back to you soon. For now, if you have any other queries, please direct them towards myself, or any of the current guides.

Hello again Mars

The Guides have discussed your application and we have decided that we would like to see a trial tour from you. After this tour you may be asked to complete a trial period. This tour should be of one or more locations on the map and you should use Discord for the tour. The tour should also be no longer than 40 minutes. Please message me on Discord to arrange a time for your tour. As always, if you have any questions or need advice, feel free to ask any of the Guidesor myself.
