So, Im Scrúbyó and I want to apply for GM, so I made this application which inside you will find a large amount of abbreviation, emotes and quite a lot of writing. The emotes are a way of expressing Im unique, The abbreviation is just from the terminology we use on the server and most of the writing is indicated with a '*' By the question number. Simplified that means go get yourself a drink, this will be a long one 
1. What is your main character's in-game name?
Scrúbyó
2. What time zone are you located in?
GMT
3. How old are you?
16
4. Have you played Retail and if so, for how long?
Yes, I have played since around the end of Wrath coming on 4.1.0
5. How long have you played on ZwowZ?
Approximately a Month or two
6. What times exactly can you GM? (Be specific please : Days/Times etc)
Monday - Sunday, With Monday - Friday dependant on college but about 5pm - 10pm With Saturday and Sunday 10am - 10pm Although I may have to revise for up coming exams and may have homework so this is just a brief guide.
7. Have you ever been banned for any reason?
Yes, My account was hacked and used as a gold sellers account
8. How much time each day do you spend on WoW, on the forums or in-game?
good 2-3 hours a day but If I was promoted that would rise tenfold.
9. Do you have Skype?
Yes, I do and I also have a working microphone
10. Have you had previous experience as a Game Master?
Only on a GM Private server and a server of my own.. That was unsuccessful.
11. Tell us a little about yourself.
Hey, Im Tobias and as my life currently stands I learn part time at college and school and I feel I am a spontaneous and bubbly person who likes to have a bit of a laugh but can also be serious and usually know when the right time is to be serious. I do rack up quite a few hours on WoW but I feel its a desirable game to like and its my choice as to where to invest my time and if I can help others out by making their gameplay better then its just a win win situation.. Right?
So anyway, I may not be the greatest at this game, and I will openly admit I am no where near the best but I have some idea as to how the mechanics of the game work and I feel I can be a great addition to the support team. So I hope you guys can take me on and dont forget about the app!
*12. Explain why you think you would be a good ZwowZ GM.
I briefly went over it in the past question "I may not be the greatest at this game, and I will openly admit I am no where near the best but I have some idea as to how the mechanics of the game work and I feel I can be a great addition to the support team." Also I think I may have some decent Ideas to be put forward into production and hopefully improve the server overall!
*13. What interests you most about the GM position?
Being the person that everyone knows (hopefully) can help with most issues they have regarding simple bugs or questions such as release dates on bug fixes already in progress and how we can get around it in the meantime
*14. What positive additions could you (or do you already) make to the Server/Community?
I help all of the newer players to become familiar with the server as to where everything is and maybe some advise on things from their class to how to get the higher end gear like vicious or ruthless! Also I try my hardest to recruit as many people I know as possible to populate this server.
15. We require all GM's to act professional at all times, this includes proper spelling and grammar. If this would be a problem for you, please explain why?
It may take a small amount of time to sink in at first but as I am a human I cannot be perfect and may slip up at times
16. What languages are you fluent in?
English and google translate.
17. If you were going to submit a suggestion for us, what would it be?
Well to start off with a simple fix such as the smoke bomb bug with it not working, also the poison bug and although Rouges are quite overpowered at the moment, Im sure everyone would agree if the class was fixed and the damage nerfed slightly then everyone who play rouge would be a lot more satisfied with the gameplay the server has to offer.
*18. Events can get out of control, how would you pull a situation under control if it went bad ? There are multiple ways I could go about doing this, one of the ways would be the most obvious as to temporarily/permanently stop the event and make sure everyone is aware of why I have done this. After that if I feel they have tried to make the event work or have semi completed the event I may hand out small prizes but that will be a very narrow possibility. This way will be my favored method and I wont go into detail as to other methods I would use as I feel they will be inefficient and may cause disruption on the server/forums as to abuse of GM powers.
19. What do you think is the most important thing a GM can do?
I dont think I can define the MOST important thing but I would like to say there are a few things that GM's need to do that are important, such as firstly making sure any issues the players may have are solved/made aware of if necessary; following that make sure you keep everyone active with fun events and maybe some small prizes that the hierarchy like angus agree on.
20. What is the most important rule a GM should follow?
Treat all players fairly and abide by the rules we have been set. This may include no giving away free items, titles and mounts and no abuse of GM powers. Also make sure that all players get the best from the server and helping them along the way! (without free things!)
