Recommendation from existing Admin (if applicable):
Walker CJ, Volcano
-
Reason for applying:
I’m honestly looking for more involvement and additional ways that I can contribute in some way to the folks that call NAK home. I want to take a more active role in making NAK the community that players come back to time and again. People can play Arma3 on any server, but things like patience of staff, peer support in TS, player camaraderie, and server performance are the things that really make a player pin a server to his/her favorites. Some of our admins contribute a lot of time supporting game play, scripting customizations, testing game-play/mods, and maintaining website. I want to keep the NAK community interesting to old players and make sure that i do what I can to make it a favorite for new players too.

Estimated Activity (How active will you be as an Admin.):
I would estimate approx 15-20 hours per week for activities that specifically require me to be logged into TS/Arma3.
If there are other activities that can be worked on outside of Arma3- then I hope possibly more.
