Small semi-Vanilla Community [Legit!][24/7][Mature][Whitelisted][17+][Still Accepting!]
This server is one of the rare and elusive legit servers. That means no item spawing, use of /time, or any other cheats and/or unfairness. Everyone on this server will have equal opportunity.
I recently stepped down from running a large server, and I now intend to play a simple, legit, survival map with 8-12 other people. The server will have a whitelist, and be (generally) 17+. If I feel someone younger than this age is mature enough to play, then I may make an exception. However for the most part the community will be 17+
Important Note: The primary time zones for this server will be United States MST and EST. (GMT - 7:00 && GMT - 9:00). My usual log in times will be varied post-noon, although I will be on most days. Similar time zones, or at least people who operate on similar time zones are preferred.
About the Server
First of all, this server is one of the rare and elusive legit servers. That means no item spawing, use of /time, or any other cheats and/or unfairness. Everyone on this server will have equal opportunity.
This server will be focused around the community; just a group of people chatting and playing minecraft together. This is NOT a PvP server. Also, in order to keep people from cheating and/or griefing, I will install a few basic anti-griefing && anti-cheat plugins. They are very lightweight though, and do not change the game in any way (other than keep people from breaking the rules). It is Vanilla-Like.
Additionally, I have a Teamspeak 3 server that I plan to be using during gameplay. Communication generally makes for a better community. NOTE: a mic & TS3 client are not required, although they are highly preferred. If you have a reason for not wanting to speak verbally, please include it in your app. Also note: I am sorry for this, but I plan to accept a majority of players able to speak verbally. I simply find that communities tend to hold together longer if voice is included. It keeps conversations moving, and generally increases communication.
We will be using the gold standard as our in-game currency. Think of gold ingots as the standard (like the dollar or pound) and nuggets as change.
Unique Systems
I ran a server like this before, and found that eventually the fun and excitement starts to die down. This time, I am trying to build a server that will stay in a "like new" condition for quite some time. After pondering this topic for some time, I came up with a few ideas that will be implemented into this server.
1) Community - This server is just as much about the people playing on it as it is the game. Although we will inevitably be doing our own thing in the game often, our overall objectives will be similar. Chatting with TS3 helps with this point as well
2) Migration - Let's keep the building & landscape aspect of minecraft new and interesting! Once every 2-4 weeks (depending on how much time everyone has had to play, and how we feel about the current town), we will all "migrate" together. We will remain on the same map (so the old structures are still there to behold!), but we will all pack up our things (an inventory full probably) and move to a new, random location far away (or possibly close depending on the landscape). Then we can begin fresh mines, build atop day old mountains, and break in the prestine MC landscape - all over again. (I see it as experiencing a fresh world, while still maintaining all your hard earned goods, and not destroying any of the old world)
more on migration
We will be building near each other in a town/city fashion. Thus, after we have migrated a few times, the map will be scattered with a few different cities/towns. We can decide what to do with them later xP
3) Style - Although this is 100% optional, I think it would be fun to try. Basically attempt to build with the materials naturally available in the biome of the current migration. For example, Forrest biomes would probably have a lot of wood structures; mountainous regions would have a lot of medieval-type stone buildings; deserts will have a lot of sandstone incorporated; etc.
4) Temporary and Conditional members - To add a little variety to our community, I will occasionally accept a temporary member (see applications below). This person will apply specifically to stay in the community only for a short time, and will likely stay for one or fewer migration cycles.
Server Status
Still Accepting!
Members accepted: 5
Temporary Members: 0
Conditional Members: 1
Rules
1) No griefing/stealing other player's property. This should go without saying.
2) Do not use any exploitable mods or hacks! Such as X-Ray or Flymod (if that's still around).
3) Do not spam chat! This shouldn't really be an issue, simply because most conversations will be via TS3.
4) Be mature. I hope this won't be an issue, but if it is, the banhammer will rain down upon thee.
5) Please build with the town. As I said earlier, I'd like to keep a tight community- both in game and out. I'd like to see most everyone at least once whilst walking about the town.
6) Keep the server looking nice! I will disable creeper damage of the landscape (they will still hurt you), but please try to keep the natural landscape looking nice. If your flattening an area, make sure you don't take out a quarter of a mountain and leave the rest - it looks tacky. Similarly, please don't use a "floating island" building style, or an underwater theme. I don't mean to seem strict, but I would appreciate a nice looking map. NOTE: you don't have to be a good builder to join - just respect the natural landscape as well as other people's properties.
If you break any of these rules you will be banned.

Tips to a good application:
- Make sure it is complete before you submit it!
- Adding a little about yourself in the "Other Information" section (or a private message) never hurts.
- The application aims to find out some basic information to determine if you're a good fit for the server & if the server is a good fit for you. Thus, the more information you are able to portray, the more useful the application is.
- Comment on the server! If you have a suggestion, or some constructive criticism to add - go for it! This generally adds to the claim of maturity (being able to communicate criticism in a constructive way). If you dont have any suggestions, then comment on what aspects of the server you like, and make you want to join. Every bit counts.
Application Responses
I have devised this system in order to optimize the community on this server. There are 6 classifications under which your application can be replied to:
C1. Accepted - Your application was reviewed and accepted as a full member. You're in. No further questions.
C2. Denied - Your application was denied. You can try reapplying if you'd like.
C3. Waiting List - This means there aren't any spots open at the moment, but we'll keep you in mind if a slot opens up.
C4. Conditional Acceptance - Under this circumstance, your application was put on a hold list, but you are able to access the server until a final decision is made. In other words, this is your chance to win over the community. The reason for this: some people can really hold there own, even without a mic. Others can't. Its hard to tell from an application, but much easier if we interact a bit.
C5. Hold List - There are a number of reasons your app can be placed here. The most common reason is that your application fits into a group that we have a "quota" on (no mic, time zone, etc). If this is the case, your application may sit in a hold group for 24-36 hours.
C6. Delayed - If your application is delayed, this simply means that there are circumstances and/or questions that I'd like to discuss / review with you before making a final decision. This could be questions about previous bans, interest, etc. If your application is delayed, expect to receive a PM shortly. After you reply to the PM, and we have gone through whatever discussion there is to be had, your application will be finalized.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1) What time zone does the community operate on? We operate on United States MST and PST. It is preferred that members of this server operate on similar time zones.
2) Is the server up 24/7? Of course.
3) What time zone are you in? At the moment, US PST (GMT - 10:00)
Please feel free to ask any other questions you have.

Sorry, i can't open your link and I never heard of Pascals Triforce (but it oviously reminds me of Zelda)
Also it is not clear if I've been refused. And if I am, can you PM me why?

I just looked at the new Application Responses thing and If it can help, I could instal Team Speak and join the conversation with my mic off. At least, I would know what's going on. I actually have Team Speak 3, now ^^

Wonderful. I look forward to seeing you on the server. Accepted.
I think that nobody received a PM yet...
Something IRL must've come up to OP :-)
Yeah, sorry about the delays. My roommate nearly burned down our kitchen. After I was finished dealing with that fiasco, I went to bed.
We have enough members to finally launch! I will release the IP on this thread within the hour. Everyone should be receiving a generic note letting them know that their applications have been updated, with a redirect to this thread.
Hey monsoon! It's been a while since MCKingdomRP eh? This looks like a nice change from large RP server and such. Unfortunatly, I'm involved with another server right now, but this looks like a great server. Do you have an application for people who want to be on the waiting list, even when the sevrer is still accepting members? That'd be usefull for me, seeing as I'd like to join at a later time, but can't right now.

Hey! Yeah, it has been a while, lol. Umm.... I never actually thought of making any type of application like that, and I'm not sure how often it will be used, but I can certainly whip one up and post it later today.

Brastniwa... Your username is very familiar, I remember that we played on the old RP server together. What was your RP character?
I recently stepped down from running a large server, and I now intend to play a simple, legit, survival map with 8-12 other people. The server will have a whitelist, and be (generally) 17+. If I feel someone younger than this age is mature enough to play, then I may make an exception. However for the most part the community will be 17+
Important Note: The primary time zones for this server will be United States MST and EST. (GMT - 7:00 && GMT - 9:00). My usual log in times will be varied post-noon, although I will be on most days. Similar time zones, or at least people who operate on similar time zones are preferred.
First of all, this server is one of the rare and elusive legit servers. That means no item spawing, use of /time, or any other cheats and/or unfairness. Everyone on this server will have equal opportunity.
This server will be focused around the community; just a group of people chatting and playing minecraft together. This is NOT a PvP server. Also, in order to keep people from cheating and/or griefing, I will install a few basic anti-griefing && anti-cheat plugins. They are very lightweight though, and do not change the game in any way (other than keep people from breaking the rules). It is Vanilla-Like.
Additionally, I have a Teamspeak 3 server that I plan to be using during gameplay. Communication generally makes for a better community. NOTE: a mic & TS3 client are not required, although they are highly preferred. If you have a reason for not wanting to speak verbally, please include it in your app. Also note: I am sorry for this, but I plan to accept a majority of players able to speak verbally. I simply find that communities tend to hold together longer if voice is included. It keeps conversations moving, and generally increases communication.
We will be using the gold standard as our in-game currency. Think of gold ingots as the standard (like the dollar or pound) and nuggets as change.
I ran a server like this before, and found that eventually the fun and excitement starts to die down. This time, I am trying to build a server that will stay in a "like new" condition for quite some time. After pondering this topic for some time, I came up with a few ideas that will be implemented into this server.
1) Community - This server is just as much about the people playing on it as it is the game. Although we will inevitably be doing our own thing in the game often, our overall objectives will be similar. Chatting with TS3 helps with this point as well
2) Migration - Let's keep the building & landscape aspect of minecraft new and interesting! Once every 2-4 weeks (depending on how much time everyone has had to play, and how we feel about the current town), we will all "migrate" together. We will remain on the same map (so the old structures are still there to behold!), but we will all pack up our things (an inventory full probably) and move to a new, random location far away (or possibly close depending on the landscape). Then we can begin fresh mines, build atop day old mountains, and break in the prestine MC landscape - all over again. (I see it as experiencing a fresh world, while still maintaining all your hard earned goods, and not destroying any of the old world)
more on migration
We will be building near each other in a town/city fashion. Thus, after we have migrated a few times, the map will be scattered with a few different cities/towns. We can decide what to do with them later xP
3) Style - Although this is 100% optional, I think it would be fun to try. Basically attempt to build with the materials naturally available in the biome of the current migration. For example, Forrest biomes would probably have a lot of wood structures; mountainous regions would have a lot of medieval-type stone buildings; deserts will have a lot of sandstone incorporated; etc.
4) Temporary and Conditional members - To add a little variety to our community, I will occasionally accept a temporary member (see applications below). This person will apply specifically to stay in the community only for a short time, and will likely stay for one or fewer migration cycles.
Temporary Members: 0
Conditional Members: 1
1) No griefing/stealing other player's property. This should go without saying.
2) Do not use any exploitable mods or hacks! Such as X-Ray or Flymod (if that's still around).
3) Do not spam chat! This shouldn't really be an issue, simply because most conversations will be via TS3.
4) Be mature. I hope this won't be an issue, but if it is, the banhammer will rain down upon thee.
5) Please build with the town. As I said earlier, I'd like to keep a tight community- both in game and out. I'd like to see most everyone at least once whilst walking about the town.
6) Keep the server looking nice! I will disable creeper damage of the landscape (they will still hurt you), but please try to keep the natural landscape looking nice. If your flattening an area, make sure you don't take out a quarter of a mountain and leave the rest - it looks tacky. Similarly, please don't use a "floating island" building style, or an underwater theme. I don't mean to seem strict, but I would appreciate a nice looking map. NOTE: you don't have to be a good builder to join - just respect the natural landscape as well as other people's properties.
If you break any of these rules you will be banned.

Tips to a good application:
- Make sure it is complete before you submit it!
- Adding a little about yourself in the "Other Information" section (or a private message) never hurts.
- The application aims to find out some basic information to determine if you're a good fit for the server & if the server is a good fit for you. Thus, the more information you are able to portray, the more useful the application is.
- Comment on the server! If you have a suggestion, or some constructive criticism to add - go for it! This generally adds to the claim of maturity (being able to communicate criticism in a constructive way). If you dont have any suggestions, then comment on what aspects of the server you like, and make you want to join. Every bit counts.
Application Responses
I have devised this system in order to optimize the community on this server. There are 6 classifications under which your application can be replied to:
C1. Accepted - Your application was reviewed and accepted as a full member. You're in. No further questions.
C2. Denied - Your application was denied. You can try reapplying if you'd like.
C3. Waiting List - This means there aren't any spots open at the moment, but we'll keep you in mind if a slot opens up.
C4. Conditional Acceptance - Under this circumstance, your application was put on a hold list, but you are able to access the server until a final decision is made. In other words, this is your chance to win over the community. The reason for this: some people can really hold there own, even without a mic. Others can't. Its hard to tell from an application, but much easier if we interact a bit.
C5. Hold List - There are a number of reasons your app can be placed here. The most common reason is that your application fits into a group that we have a "quota" on (no mic, time zone, etc). If this is the case, your application may sit in a hold group for 24-36 hours.
C6. Delayed - If your application is delayed, this simply means that there are circumstances and/or questions that I'd like to discuss / review with you before making a final decision. This could be questions about previous bans, interest, etc. If your application is delayed, expect to receive a PM shortly. After you reply to the PM, and we have gone through whatever discussion there is to be had, your application will be finalized.
We operate on United States MST and PST. It is preferred that members of this server operate on similar time zones.
2) Is the server up 24/7?
Of course.
3) What time zone are you in?
At the moment, US PST (GMT - 10:00)

Nice application. My name is Zach as well - this might get confusing... xD Accepted.
I like the app. Something just came up though, I'm going to put this and the rest of the apps on hold temporarily.
Lol. I'm really sorry, you probably get this alot, but my first though upon hearing your name was this. Also, its defiantly Pascals Triforce. Not triangle. - held (see above)
Sorry, i can't open your link and I never heard of Pascals Triforce (but it oviously reminds me of Zelda)
Also it is not clear if I've been refused. And if I am, can you PM me why?
Edit: Never mind, I just read: "I like the app. Something just came up though, I'm going to put this and the rest of the apps on hold temporarily." My bad.
