Currently, I am uncertain as to what could have caused this.) Anyways, I would like to begin by saying that I am excited to have been elected to move on to the discussion round of the chat moderator application process. I will attempt to answer these questions to the best of my ability and with complete honesty. So, without further adieu, let’s get right on into it!

1. As chat moderator, I plan on diversifying and enriching the adventures of wiki members in the wiki and in the game. My main objective as chat moderator is to enhance the passion/desire that fellow wiki members have for becoming better wiki members in and out of chat, as well as becoming  better k and d players. In other words, my main objective is to act as an inspirationto members, and encourage themthrough exploration and observation, just as young children do. Who knows, maybe if inspired and determined enough, they too will apply to become a chat moderator-a job which signifies the hard work and strength of heavily invested wiki members. These are the people who have dedicated much of their time into allowing for a more. I sure do hope the investments I have made in this wiki and plan on making will act as encouragement and inspiration to players of all levels and backgrounds. I also plan on being “the peacemaker”, when I come into a chat and notice a conflict of some sort. In this situation, I would make sure to handle and resolve the conflict in a steady manner, taking into consideration both sides of the story and going from there. After all, this wiki is here to nourish our souls with knowledge pertaining to knights and dragons, not to act as a place for conflict. If I am in a chat where I notice some tension rising, I would make sure to mollify the emotions of the members involved in the situation, which in turn, could potentially prevent conflict from arising through the instigations of ones actions. So, my main goal is to inspire other members to the extent where they are able to feel a great connection to the wikia, as well as the game itself

Okay let's start with this. You use rich words and try to elaborate what you ares aging but frankly, you did not answer my question. Many users do say that if they are chat moderators, they will help the chat by helping users. However, it has proven by wikia staff that users don't need rights to help. In fact, this is how users are recognized in chat and this is how they gain the community's trust. Also, you say that you will be the "peacemaker." What you are saying as your plans, can be simply achieved without the rights, many users do report misbehaviour on chat on other wiki chats that I participate on without any restriction of rights. To add to this, you seem like you don't know how a CM works. A Cm does not need to report misbehaviours (unless it spreads on the wiki and is harassment.) The name says it all "Chat MODERATOR." Cm, can kick or ban users from chat who are misbehaving in chat with a simple click. What surprises me is that you didn't mention this nor did you elaborate what you mean by conflict. I do appreciate the big and rich text but, please do elaborate your ideas, not just state them.

As I have mentioned in my answer to the previous question, I will make sure to provide all of my knowledge into the chat and act as a resource to players who may not have experience on something of concern. I am willing to answer concerns of members, which could pertain to anything. Now, will I report issues-yes and no. As a chat moderator, I feel it is my duty to act as a relatively confidential advisor to all other wiki members. If they have a certain issue that does affect any other members, and they wish for me to not report the issue, I would not report it, if I feel it is not something which would require/be in need of consequence. However, if an issue does arise and involves another member, I will make sure to report it. I am usually in the chat for hours at a time during summer, and I do still heavily invest my time into and monitor chat even when it is not summer. Also, I am regularly recognized by wiki members for being an avid/enthusiastic member in the chat room.

Yes I have seen you active in chat only for the past few days, which is weird because you applied for chat moderator at that time. In fact many users have recognized you as a member who has little activity in the wikia chat and who has minimal edits. I was talking to User:FrosteeSnoman and User:Bonaya (Active and ver wise Admins and Chat Mods on this wikia.) They told me that they do not see you in chat at all, despite the fact that they live in two completely different timezones. So you have rarely been seen in chat and have been acknowledged by who exactly? Again  an you please elaborate and give an example of what you mean by "issue" and "matter"

'' As a chat moderator, I feel it is my duty to act as a relatively confidential advisor to all other wiki members.
