I’ll take your example since I’m not creative xD

What makes a good day for staff?
What makes a bad day?

Honestly a good day can be as simple as someone recognizing the work and hours of our lives we put in to make the server a fun place for well... you. Even a simple ‘keep up the good work’ can really make the day better. I’d rather receive one ‘Thank you’ then a hundred ‘omg an admin!!!’s. When people are nice and treat me like a human being. Jokes funny things people say or do.
Also other stuff but these are the ones I can think of right now (probably because I received a very nice message from bendoub the other day)

Now bad days.
Well (here’s about to offend some people) dealing with people who have a bad attitude /treat us like dirt or people who don’t understand that we have limitations. No, if your brothers username maybe mighta contained the word ‘herobrine’ we cannot find him. Though honestly the worst might be when there is an issue with another staff. Because not only am I kinda mad about whatever, I’m also really disappointed because you know I trust these guys and someone broke that trust (mostly)
Like I said before. These are the ones I can think of right now. There are more.

Also I’m a slow typer hermione I’ll get there

So... before I ask my question, a little explanation.

Whenever I'm in a game with staff I feel super awkward, like, "I'm not worthy to speak to them," or, "I can't attack them."
I remember being in an MM game where Hazard was hiding in the haunted house, with his neon TRIAL tag showing... and I just avoided the house at all costs because I worried of getting in the way of... IDEK what XD
And when you were murderer, Warrior, and I was sheriff. I usually try to watch some of the innocents, but I didn't want to tag along after a staff member, and after I shot you I half-expected to be banned or something XD
I know it's stupid, I tell myself that it's unnecessary, but I think that anyway

Okay, so after that 'little' explanation, here's the question: do you guys ever feel that awkwardness? What's it like for you if you're in a game and there's a player who clearly feels that way? Or do you not really notice it, although you know there are some of us like that?

Well I’d never ban anyone just because they beat me in a game.
I feel very awkward with my tag on. Most of the time I keep it off. Not sure if that’s what you mean though. If I noticed someone felt that way I’d probably make an effort to be friendly with them. I’m very shy so I kinda get it. But I never really notice. Like I said, I leave my tag off a lot so no one but forum people realize I’m staff. So it’s normal for people not to talk to me.

what are ur online time of being a staff everyday?

around 7am ish to 10 pm ish my time. I check in when I have time throughout the day. Most active from like 7-10pm

All staff: How do you juggle life in and out of forums? For example, do you have a personal life and then go on forums?

Warrior- I honestly wondered how you became staff. How did you become staff? Did you ever expect this moment to happen? What are some worse situations you have handled since your "staff life"?

Laura- You don't have to answer this but, what is your nationality? Where did you come from?

Ray- What do you look like? You don't have to answer but I've always wondering what you look like. And no, I'm not talking about the palm trees xD

Also Ray, how did you become staff? Has being staff ever been your priority?

Hazard- I have seen your Instagram. Have you ever been active on it? Do you still use it? Will you follow me back?(Just kidding about the last one) Also, do you remember Daves server? What was your initial reaction when Dave acted up on forums towards you?

Ssunset: On a scale of 1-10, does social media influence the way you live? With 1 being not at all, to 10 being all the way? Plus, what servers do you mostly play on? When you play servers, is it to find people breaking the rules or to have fun?

Befib: I don't know a lot about you, and I'm truly sorry about that.
Are you a boy or girl? If you are a boy, how old are you? Who inspired you(or what) to become a Dutch AD? What grade are you in school? Who has been the most inspirational to you on Forums?

Thanks everyone.
These questions are me being curious. I am not intending to be rude. I respect everyone's answer so don't be shy.

at the start I was super active and on all the time and stuff because I was in middle school and it wasn’t hard enough that i really had to pay attention. But because of that I didn’t really know how to balance it. So when I got to high school and things got overwhelming I just kinda checked in once or twice a week for a month then I took a 1 month break where I didn’t come on at all. After that I managed to balance it better. Brlns comes in second to my real life so I just basically come online when I can. But I’m pretty boring so I have spare time.

I already said how I got staff up there. Anyways no I did not expect it. I just genuinely wanted to help out however I could.
The worst situations are probably widespread drama/conflicts. Everyone taking sides, forming opinions, arguments, insults. I hate it. I really just wanted to stay out of it but I also wanted to make sure everybody was ok. It’s also hard to moderate. The worst ones are the ones involving other staff though.
There might be something I forgot about that was really bad but this comes to mind because it happened a bunch of times.

Well, yeah, I LOGICALLY know you wouldn't ban someone for that - you aren't petty like that, and if you were you wouldn't have been made staff - but I couldn't help feeling that there would be some sort of consequence XD Like I said before, I KNOW I don't have to feel that way, that you guys aren't 'powerful gods' as you put it, but I can't help it

So you're pretty much a normal player, as far as people can tell? Yeah that sounds like it must make things more comfortable, so you don't have some player that comes to try to kneel (*crouch) down before you and worship you XD or, like me, being nervous to come within ten blocks of you because of whatever weird thing goes on in my mind to prevent that XD

Is it annoying to be a staff member? Like when people ask you to friend them and stuff like that. I know I've asked staff members to friend me and I feel bad because I want a staff member I look up to in my friends list but I feel bad asking... And I'm sure other people feel the same way.

Warrior - How did you get staff? I’m actually really curious...because you’re the only active staff member who’s been here longer than me. Also, what was BrokenLens like in 2015?

Laura - Why do you seem so flippin’ serious .-. xD

Ray - Do you agree with Sabray? (You x Sabrina Carpenter xD)

Hazard - I know you’re bi but which gender are you more attracted to? Don’t answer if you don’t want to

Ssun - Do you play any instruments?

Befib - How did you come up with your username?

Nope!! I can’t play any musical instrument.

3- No, I'm not really active on social media so it did not affect my life.
I play the most MM and SG. But I also like to play other games with friends.
I play for fun. But I keep an eye on the players.

@WarriorGirl3333 - What is it like managing staff applications and such?

@HazardTheDutchAD - How did you manage to persevere after being demoted to try be promoted again? Like what was your motivation?

@ssunsett - How are you so active xD And how do you not get tired of banning again and again

I work from home for my parents' business. So I have a lot of time to be here a lot.
Sometimes, but it's nice to help the players.

Like when "serious"? I try to say what's on my mind in a polite way which turns out to become serious. xD

I don't know if I feel that awkwardness. But sometimes I can tell if a player's feeling awkward or nervous around me by the way they're moving or how their character is looking at me. Weird, I know. xD

EDIT: So the info I put here is now outdated.
For anyone wondering, I live in England now. If you want more info on me about where my parents are from, where I was born, places I've lived in, race/ethnicity, nationality, citizenship and all that stuff then I may tell you, it depends really.

What was your reaction when vertx asked you if you wanted to be staff?

I still know that I woke up and checked my posts. I saw in my inbox: 'A little invite' from vertx. I have rarely had such a good morning. (I'm not really a morning person)

I'm not gonna lie, it does sometimes frustrate me when someone I've never talked to on BL asks me to add them to their friend list. I'm still human, it's not like I'll accept your friend request automatically. What's the meaning of a FRIEND list? To add FRIENDS. Not random players. No offense, but it is annoying. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
EDIT: This isn’t too true anymore. I don’t add a lot of people to my friends list due to spam. The reason isn’t really same as it was at the time I wrote this, so don’t worry lol

All - Pusheen or Om Nom

I just realised probably nobody understood this question XD i sorry

Ehh,
All - What was your experience like before you became a staff member? Were there things you didn’t realise until you became a staff member? Is there a certain thing you like to do to relax after going through a rough day? Do you agree with any one of these? -

• Hazard x Plushie
• Ray x Laura
• Warrior x Plushie
• Ray x Warrior

(By the way, Plushie is meh nickname for Springtrap :3) (And yes I know most, if not all, of you will say “no” to every one of them but IT TOOK ME A WHOLE MINUTE TO COME UP WITH ALL FOUR OF THOSE SHIPS)
Oh and finally...
Can one of you help me ask Lia why she's raiding the local trash can? XD
