Thats where you are wrong boi.
Players influence alot when it comes to staff apps. Just cuz there is no voting doesn't mean it is not influencing.
How? Magic of course.
You see if you join let's say survival. You bring 2 friends and just play it together without meeting other players. Few of you isolate and just play, barely use chat. That way you will not get staff.
Now if you joined, made bunch of builds, spoke and became friends with alot of ppl on server, no one says bad stuff about you. You easily get popular and even known among staff without even talking to them.
When staff checks out your app he remembers "oh it's that kiddo from survival that plays with my friends, good kid, accepted".
Nooow to kill favoritism guys who take it wrongly.
Popularity on server will get you staff, but it doesn't mean you are under "favoritism". No, that is something else. Yes, certain staff might take liking in you, but that is not because you are popular. It is because you are friendly, no mistakes, and they know some stuff about you. Therefore they will pick you instead of someone who came from HP and played 1day and already applied for staff even tho he got x1000times more knowledge and experience. Why? He can't be trusted.
What would be favoritism then? Huh babe?. Weeell that would be, having someone who didn't play Pika, join staff member because you pushed and pushed everyone to take that person in.
Or having someone very bad get staff because you were rumbling "he good, take he do job, gret staf".
Soo, meaning.
Popularity = easy staff, why? Because you can be trusted.(ofc if you were never caught doing crime). Then its gulag my friend.
and offtopic doesnt count as a post at all i guess, or maybe it was just comments on offtopic
