Can't say I'm stoked to see this Admin application. When I first started replying to your responses on tiefling's thread, you had multiple reasons for not advocating for her becoming Admin. You told me quite a few things that you feel it's not the position for someone who "can do all that stuff on a Moderator level." After all the replies in that thread, you messaged me directly on Discord in order to "prevent clogging tiefling's thread" and gave me more insight as to why you are not in support (if I can even call it much insight). You were very quick to point to things like development stuff like hitboxes and weapon balancing. When I tried to clear up what this exactly meant, and why wouldn't it be okay to learn things OTJ, you turned it around and told me, straight up: "Tiefling is just too new to +1 in my opinion."
Now, while that's a fair opinion to have, this is a crazy move from you to now set up your own Admin application. It seems like you were trying to keep your real reasoning locked behind private messages, and it seems snakey to me to try and apply now. Now while you definitely have more experience under your belt, this is beyond ridiculous in my opinion.
With competition aside, I'd now like to focus on you entirely.
When it comes to you helping community gatherings such as setting up tournaments or the like, I haven't been involved in those so I don't really have a good opinion there. But this also comes down to me having not a lot of experience firsthand with you.
In regards to you helping staff learn, when I tried to clarify further as to what someone can do to go forward with becoming an Admin during their time as Moderator; you downright stonewalled me and told me to go ask others. You referred me to other Moderators or Admins. You told me it wasn't your job, which isn't true, even as a Moderator. This is unacceptable as an Admin for me. One of the main things I see from being an Admin, or even a Moderator, is to be able to lead lesser staff members and give them direction.
Finishing, I'd like to state how inactive you were during my time as a new player and staff member up until now. I've had to take a break for my own personal reasons. As I understand that people do need their time off, me being an example, you have only recently started to become active again. I don't have an opinion on how you handle situations because I just don't have many situations to cast judgement. I can't say that I've had a whole lot of interaction with you on the server itself (lack of firsthand experience with you), and as stated above, my interaction with you off the server simply hasn't been the best.
Good luck on your application.
Edit: To be clear: I understand that, while it's unprofessional to discuss private conversations on a thread; the topics that took place are, once again, my only real set of interactions I've had with Icey. Not only that, but at the time, I also insisted Icey made this clear on the tiefling's application so I wouldn't have to do that.
When it comes to helping me specifically understanding what could be done better, this is now my own conversation and I have full reign to discuss what I would like to publicly.
