Well, It’s the time you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time for
Jajakid’s 6th Application
First off, I want to talk about my demotion, and how it went.
Now before I do, I want to clarify this. I don’t want to be / sound disrespectful nor hateful or hostile in any way, shape, or form to anybody. I am just explaining what happened and how I feel about it.
I do not think I deserved my demotion, but I do take full blame for everything I did leading up to it.
I’m not saying it was a bad decision of my higher ups to demote me at the time of said demotion, but I want to state that my behavior and the outcome that led to it could’ve been prevented with a single word. If I were warned or talked to about me messing up a SINGLE TIME before / while I did any of what I’m about to explain, none of it would have happened. I was not warned or signaled about any signs towards of a demotion, ever.
One more thing, the reasons for my demotion are stated below.
Patillian —“Alright, you were demoted for arguing with Lynical, refusing to resolve your problems with Lynical, and being extremely stubborn.”
QuirkyJackal — “For the hard argument you had with Lynical and for all the things you did under our nose”
Lynical — “Favouritsm with your friends, "secret staff rules", making up bs rules and responding to people in a disrespectful manner”
(“all the things you did under our nose”, “making up bs rules”, “and responding to people in a disrespectful manner” were not mentioned nor explained in the day-long talk I had with all head admins, and all managers.)
My demotion explanation goes as follows: I was demoted for multiple minor / major things I did while admin. (confirmed by Patillian and M1ghtymouse) Those minor / major things are:

My demotion explanation goes as follows: I was demoted for multiple minor / major things I did while admin. (confirmed by Patillian and M1ghtymouse) Those minor / major things are:
- Unbanning a friend of mine from the discord server after a head admin banned him themselves
- Claiming there to be “Secret Staff Rules hidden in a rule section only staff can see”
- Arguing with a fellow admin, Lynical and supposedly refusing to settle our differences; discussing said differences in an un-serious manner.
I will be explaining the entire scenario of what happened with each of these reasons.
“unbanning a friend of mine from the discord server after a head admin banned him themselves.”
The entire story goes as follows. M1ghtymouse, a friend of mine called Geo / Allah, and I were all in a vc in the discord waiting for rust to force wipe. (We were all going to play.) Remember that M1ghty does not like Geo, but they have played countless times together. Now it may come as quite a surprise to most to reveal that saying the N-word or any other slurs in a vc can eventually result in a ban. Geo’s personality and speech uses the “N-word” alot, so while we were in the vc just hanging out we were all using it. I eventually had to take a 10 minute break to go grab breakfast, and when I returned, Geo was gone. I asked M1ghty what happened, and he stated that he banned Geo. What happened when I was gone is unclear, but apparently when I was afk M1ghty decided to ban geo because he either got on his nerves (per usual) or said the n-word (which he was using before but only now decided to ban him for it). M1ghty and I then created an argument of banning and unbanning geo. I personally saw it as “M1ghty wants to ban geo because he’s getting on his nerves and used the n-word as an excuse.” Now I cannot 100% prove what I am about to say as true, since I no longer have access to logs nor staff chat, but I don’t think ANYONE in the history of Wonder.tf has ever been banned because of what Geo did. Quite literally almost EVERYONE (including most if not all staff!) has used the n-word in vc, and I found it as favoritism towards Geo. M1ghty eventually told me that he was messaging Stao and 8 about it if I didn’t stop unbanning him so I stopped and I left to go play with Geo.
Claiming there to be “Secret Staff Rules hidden in a rule section only staff can see”
This one is short and sweet, for a custom LR (I made myself) I put in “Titan Day. Titan Day is defined as Titan Day.” Luke then said that it was an invalid day and I couldn’t do it because “Titan Day” wasn’t defined in the rules so I joked about it being in some kind of “secret staff rules” I made it very clear in my voice that I was joking and I followed throughout the day. I resized everyone to 3x their original size (helping everyone stuck and such) and played throughout the round on low-pop LA jailbreak (10 - 15 players) Apparently people took “Titan Day being defined in Secret Staff Rules'' seriously… I don’t know why but apparently it’s a reason.
Arguing with a fellow admin, Lynical and supposedly refusing to settle our differences; discussing said differences in an un-serious manner.
This one should be the longest but I’ll cut it down as much as possible. Pretty much when Lynical and I met (before we were staff) Lynical disliked me, and it’s been constant arguments and rudeness towards each other since. I have multiple times had hour long talks with Lynical asking why he dislikes me so, and each one has resulted in more arguing and no true reason. I have asked Lynical to join me in other games so we could possibly bond, but he’s refused each time. At one point Lynical did his usual reports to staff (this time Patillian) about the little things I did, (respawning people I accidentally got killed, slayed someone in an impossible to kill spot, etc.) I was questioned about it by patillian and explained why I did what I did. I then got fed up with the unneeded conversations I’ve had to have with other higher ups, and explained to patillian in dms my situation. Patillian also agreed he was tired with the arguing, and told us both to settle our differences in dms. After about roughly 2 hours of us going at it (for the 3rd / 4th time) We finally (what I thought) agreed to stop being childish towards each other and agreed to have mutual respect as we have for other staff even though we don’t like each other. Roughly 20 minutes after that conversation Caval revealed to me that I was bearing the Ex-Staff role. I will admit during the conversation I had with Lynical I was acting very childish and ignorant towards him. I only did this because I thought that just like every other conversation we’ve had, it was gonna end up nowhere and I didn’t have time to waste that day. This was apparently the main reason for my demotion.
Following my arguments with Lynical, I need to share that when it comes to it my hands are tied. I have tried multiple times before to become friends with Lynical, but it just seems that he has been set on getting me in trouble eventually leading to a demotion. It’s to the extent that my playtime have severely dropped just to try to avoid him. This is not to hate on nor blame Lynical, but I’m just connecting some dots on what it seems like. Lynical has been reporting me countless times before in (what I assume) an attempt to get me in trouble, and when he saw me act out towards him in dms he had the perfect proof to get me demoted. I don’t know 100% if his actions were just for his attempt in my demotion, and I’m not saying at all that it was, (he even explained that he felt bad when I got demoted) but it almost seems like it.
I want to state this towards you and only you Lynical; If I regain staff and we have a chance to work side by side with each other once again, I will completely forget about our past towards one another and give you the respect as another staff member would, as long as you try to work on our friendship equally the same. I don't like arguing just as much as the next person, and I don't want it to happen between us again.
Let’s get on with the actual staff application now shall we.

Questions:
Why are you applying?
I am applying because I still enjoy playing on Wonder.tf, I want to continue to assist it as much as possible in progressing and becoming more and more of a better jailbreak server, whether that be punishing rulebreakers, creating new ideas with other staff, or providing a sense of the extra bit of fun players need to have in order to want to come back to play more. I want to prove that I can do more and help more, not only with the period of time of me being staff, but more. I also want to prove I can stay with Wonder longer than just a year and be very beneficial towards it.
Do you have any previous experience administrating?
Only on Wonder, yes. I was staff from October 25th, 2020 - April 4th, 2021. I was staff for 161 days total. (roughly more than 5 months)
How would you improve the community?
I would improve the community by continuing to assist everyone in every way possible to assist in, whether it be around Wonder (ingame, rulebreakers, questions, etc.) or outside of wonder (pc questions, assist in other games, or someone to just talk and play with in general.) I will continue to do my very best to make Wonder one of the best jailbreak communities and possibly more.
What have you done already?
(As Staff)
I have been staff (obviously) and have supported Wonder while staff for as long as possible, doing as much as I possibly can do in-game and outside of game. I have been arguably one of the hardest working and best staff while still the most friendliest towards new and old players.
(Before Staff)
I bought vip+ (original price - 6 keys a month) for roughly 7 - 8 months straight, without ever abusing or anything with it. I also gave away a 15 key unusual and have brought multiple people into wonder (mostly into TF2 for that matter) just to increase its population and support it as much as possible. I was well known back in the day as the “really annoying kid” to the “kid who knew the craziest f****ng trick orders that will make you question your own sanity, was also kinda nice and fun to be around too”
Why should we pick you?
You should re-pick me as staff because I already have a lot of experience with in-game, commands, general rule breakers, the banning system, how long to punish someone for and what to punish them for, etc. I also regularly check the forums and am usually the first to put out an honest response to an application that most staff agree with or let someone know about an appeal. No offense to anyone on the staff team when I say this too, but I personally think I have the best grammar out of most of them. I also am different from most staff, and I hate to break it to you all, whether you know this and you're trying to hide it or you don’t know it, but there are 2 different types of jailbreak staff / players. There’s the one who gets on just to make sure that there is no rulebreakers (no mic spammers, nobody stepping out of place of the rules, etc.) and then there’s some like me. Hi, I like to have fun and make sure that others have fun, whether or not it is completely 100% following the rules. This may cost me my entire application, but it needs to be said. If 100% of players are having fun and enjoying themselves, whether it might include a little bit of horseplay here and there, I’m completely fine with whatever is happening. If someone is using a soundboard for example in a 5 pop server and not one complaint or grunt of annoyance is said and literally everyone is laughing and talking about it, I’ll leave it be. If there is a soundboard or something along the lines in LA for example, where the pop is usually higher than 10, I’ll warn them to turn it off, etc. Instead of your usual “hey don’t do this don’t do that” admin, I’ll make sure everyone has fun. The truth is not everyone has fun following the rules exactly and precisely as written, rules are meant to set boundaries on what is happening but a small little “bruh” on a soundboard when someone hilariously dies is not groundbreaking. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m not one of those staff members who try to take literally EVERYTHING seriously, that makes people not want to come back. Games are played to have fun in and without the fun and all just seriousness it’s like you're at boot camp when you're trying to just play on a video game. If there’s freekillers of course I’ll talk to them about it and deal with it like any other staff member would. I like to think of myself as that fun admin. Now before you question it of course, I haven't ever, and will never abuse my powers in any way, shape, or form. The only time I ever use anything commands outside of punishing rulebreakers is strictly only for LR's.
