☠️ ~ intro: greetings and salutations, wonderful creatures! I'm Mayday! I am also known as nala, rinn, lute, and harli, and this is my dbd manager application! it would mean a lot to me if you, the coolios reading this, could consider me as a possible option for manager or suggest me! thank uuuu >_< ☠️ ~ about moi: as mentioned before, I'm mayday :D I'm bisexual and genderfluid and I'm in PST timezone! I go by she/they pronouns (subject to change though) and I'm around 14-16 years old :} I've been a member of DBD around when it was created, but became more active once gwdfi closed! ☠️ ~ experience: I don't have much experience managing a dbd level studio, but I have managed some studios including chat rooms, small communities, and studios related to some fandoms i'm in :] I also am the creator of Wacky & Wonderful, a studio similar to dbd I made, but later left on pause because I didn't think it would be very popular. ☠️ ~ why I want to be manager: One of the main reasons I want to manage dbd is because I want to have more experience in a role of responsibility, so in other future cases, like work, college, etc, I can manage problems and maintain calm under stressful situations. another reason is that dbd means a lot to me, since a lot of the people here have helped me get through stressful situations, so managing the studio would help me feel more like I belong here in this wonderful community :] ☠️ ~ why I would be a good manager: I believe I would be a good manager because I'm kind and try to be helpful, I'm responsible, I'm good under pressure, and I know the rules and know how to follow them, and believe I can enforce them as well :] I always try to give sunshine to everyone who needs it and am hardly rude, I'm not a constant rule breaker and I wouldn't succumb to anything that seems like it would potentially break the rules, and if DBD would be in a stressful situation (rule breaking, trolls, jokes going too far, etc) I'd be as quick as possible to put a stop to it, and if I'm not sure what to do, I'd discuss it with other managers :) ☠️ ~ downsides to me being manager: of course, not everything's sunshine and rainbows here. some downsides of me being a manager would include that I can sometimes be too nice, and if I have to give the studio consequences, I'd feel really bad for doing so, which may not be the best. My mental health is also not that great, and though I try not to vent onsite and have hardly ever asked for sunshine, if my mental health gets too bad and by any chance I have to go to a psych ward again (I'm taking meds though so its not too likely), I would have no way to inform the other managers or do host shifts (no phones allowed). ☠️ ~ ideas I've got for the studio: some ideas I have for improving the studio are making a dbd vent studio specifically for venting about more serious topics (that still are allowed on scratch) that might trigger other users in the main studio. I also think something that may improve the studio is adding 'accumulating design delay' (dunno how to word this :sobs:) where basically if the design delay reaches zero or below for more than a certain number in a month, the studio gets a week long or weekend long timeout, but if the studio has been good for the month, there's a reward (a game, silly roleplays, etc) its kind of like karma in Gaehive :] ☠️ ~ I'm usually available most of the time on weekdays, I'm usually active during 5-9 pm, sometimes before if I'm bored, it can differ though since, I too have a life, though I wouldn't be very active during the weekend since on Saturdays I go out with my friends sometimes and on Sundays Im forced to go to church. Overall I'd rate my activity 7-8/10, but I would try to be more active if I am manager. ☠️ ~ outro: Anywho, thanks so much for reading, and have an amazing day!
