Username(s): the_androgyne

Current Role in Community: I only just joined the Discord a few weeks back, but I really like interacting there. It's great to have other people to talk to who still enjoy playing WR64. It's been my favourite racing game for a long time - i've been playing on and off since the game came out, but only in the last few years started making some of my records on the NTSC version. I hope by beating some records, it encourages those beaten people to beat me back!

Reasons Why You Want A Moderation Role: I'd like to see even more active players, and raise the awareness of the game itself, hopefully enough to get noticed by Nintendo so they might throw us a sequel-bone! I'd also like to discuss the leaderboard structure, ideas like a shortcut-less board for purists (and for casual players who'd have a hard time doing some of them), and possibly records for the easier and harder wave settings that the game doesn't record itself.

Username: MyOhMyPancakes, Pancakes

Current Role in the community: IL and RTA player, and number 6th on the rankings.

Why do I want to be a Moderator for Wave Race 64: For the love (and anger) I give into this game, I want to help push it forward, and to learn more about being a moderator. I moderate two other games, but I feel like I don't have the experience to be a good moderator for the game. I'm hoping to join, so that I can get some helpful experience.

Applications are still open currently until October 17, 2020. Pancake's recent submission is the last one that will be considered, all other applicants please re-apply.

We look forward to speaking with you in private closer to or shortly after the cut off date.

Current Role in the community: PAL IL WR64 player and mostly RTA in the other 2 Wave Race games

Reasons Why I Want To Be A Moderator for Wave Race 64: I like the Wave Race series and always love to show a run of it during marathons (thanks again to Andypanther with who I showed the complete series once in 2019). When I joined the WR community I tried to give Blue Storm the place that it deserved in it (the game I played the most at that time) and brought the former mod of the game here on src to the community discord (for a peaceful transfer of power). I always hoped that this helps the community as a whole because all games in the WR series are important for me. Even though I'm more on the sideline in WR64 with my PAL ILs activities, but PAL leaderboards also need some love imho.

That's why I promise to add seperate PAL categories for the WR64 Championship runs if people vote for me. ... Oh, the mods decide who they add as an additional moderator, not the silent PAL majority that is out there? Damn. Then I might use my convincing arguments when the time comes. (And will watch less US election coverage)

Thank you to our applicants and our two new moderators, JimB and MyOhMyPancakes!

Currently, we are not taking any more applications, however submitting interest by applying is still encouraged.

Current Role in the community: IL World Record holder, RTA beast, Top 3 on the rankings.

Why do I want to be a Moderator for Wave Race 64: Been playing since i was 3, still playing at 25. Whether it was timing or destiny, i found the community after years of looking for it. Mod feels like a natural step for a player who will be active on the boards for years to come.

Current Community Role:

  • Active wave racer
  • Data nerd
  • Rankings committee
  • Olympic Planning committee

Reasons Why You Want a Moderation Role:

I've become extremely invested in this community over the past year and a half and would like to see it flourish. I enjoy coming up with ideas on how to keep things fresh and exciting and have a track record of follow-through and putting in the work --- like building a rough website for olympic leaderboards (which I have already been working on improving for next year). I believe the future of the community is bright and I feel like I have the desire and capacity to do more and help out more.
