How long have you been on DFS?/When have you started playing on DFS?
At least since 2015, possibly earlier.

Which region are you from?
Germany

Which position are you applying for? (Server Moderator, Developer, Discord Moderator)
Developer

What level are you in the DFS servers?
37

Why do you want to become a staff member?
DFS interests me because the servers have a familiar concept of running multiple gamemodes.
I have only very recently started playing on DFS again and I noticed some plugins that I would like to have a look at and potentially improve, one example being your vehicles plugin. To avoid a constant back and forth with your developers, I feel like it would be much better if I just joined the team myself. Besides all that, I believe I can also bring some new content to the table.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere?
I am currently one of two Administrators over at Red Sun Over Paradise.

Do you have previous experience as a staff member? If so, what is it, and how would it help you on DFS?
Ex-Admin of HmX Gaming (2012-2017) and Administrator of Red Sun Over Paradise (2019-now). Suffice to say I've gathered quite some experience in a lot of different fields.

How active are you on DFS? If you're accepted, how active can you be on DFS?
Not too active overall, though I have been hopping on more as of recent, which is the main reason I am applying. If I get accepted, I would certainly love to show my face more often if my work schedule allows it.

Have you ever been banned from DFS before? If so, why?
Not that I know of.

Include any additional personal information about yourself that could help your application thread
I love reverse-engineering the Source Engine and finding out how to do things that no one has ever done before. I am dedicated to writing clean code and finding the best solution, not just one that "works".

Include a link to your Steam profile
steamcommunity.com/id/Mikusch

If you're applying to be a Developer, show us an example of your previous work. Anything will do including source code, model files, map files, et cetera.
Plugins I've made:
Fortress Royale - github.com/Mikusch/fortress-royale
Deathrun - github.com/Mikusch/deathrun
TF:GO - github.com/Mikusch/tfgo
Driveable Vehicles - github.com/Mikusch/tf-vehicles
All-Class Air Dash - github.com/Mikusch/air-dash

Plugins I've contributed to:
Super Zombie Fortress - github.com/redsunservers/SuperZombieFortress
VSH Rewrite - github.com/redsunservers/VSH-Rewrite

I've also worked on a couple Discord bots in Java and on websites in PHP but all of those are in private repositories. Just believe me.

The name’s Mikusch. I have advanced to a stage in my evolution which does not require me to eat. I survive by imagining fractals.

I was living in a drainage ditch in Oregon in 1993 when a friend turned me on to WASP MEAT — it’s the one vice I can’t kick.

I’ll be making jerky to last me through the winter.

PLEASE HELP

Leave a voicemail if you have wasp meat.

This was quite unexpected, to be frank. An administrator on Red Sun applying for developer on here is not something you see every day. But still glad to have you apply. Let's get right to it:

The formation is following the standard procedure of what to write, that's all good and dandy. Your activity and level are much to be desired, especially when you promise to be more active if accepted. It's been used redundantly from other applicants in the past, but never held their word. You haven't made a reputation on the servers, and I don't know you well enough since we haven't interacted yet. Though you are applying for developer, so level and activity aren't the deciding factors, but still something that should be worked upon, including the reputation. I do have to commend you for the reasoning, it's quite something I haven't seen before, and your past skills are certainly something to back the statement up.

In conclusion, I'll be on the fence for now, but I bid you good luck never the less!

A lot of potential stems from you. Your app seems genuine and you've done a lot of great work to other communities such as Red Sun Over Paradise, your extended experience on Sourcemod plugins would help a lot for us in that field.

The issue however for now is trusting you over that position. Given that we don't know you and your behavior in the servers as of now.

I'd prefer to wait to give better thought on it, you have a lot of time to develop reputation on our servers and ensuring that you're coming to the team with no ill will against us.

So far telling from my experiences I'm more positive about your application. You show genuine passion for developing and willing to bring it over to DFS, seeing how you grew a better relationship with the servers and significantly improved your reputation, which already says a lot for your impression.

With that said, the previous experiences (which were silently brought up at the third string) that originally brought doubt to your application and you in general, can be discarded. Hence after giving more thought it seemed more tasteless to reference events of the past and right now you hold more good than the other way around as far as my recent experiences tell.

Here's to hoping on seeing you on the dev team.

Great looking application, you seem to have a lot of experience as a developer as well so that adds up well too. I'll be honest and say that I was surprised seeing you apply here considering your current position in RSOP, I need to say I definitely don't have problems with it considering that I think both DFS and RS mostly get along very well as communities, but I do also hope that developing for two communities at once doesn't prove hindering for the quality of your work on either one.

I'm also glad to see you trying to get involved more with the community through both the TF2 & Discord servers so I do hope you keep that up as well

Good luck!

I've only seen you around the community for a buncha weeks, but it's been a true pleasure to have you around so far, and your experience as a developer in other communities is very much solid. I for one would really like to see you aboard.
