What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I typically build in a sort of medieval style when I build.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Community, as much as I love playing MC it tends to get boring just playing by yourself so thats why I am more keen to play on multiplayer servers.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I've played on one SMP community that was just me and a few of our college friends.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Outside of MC I am usually playing CSGO, Working, or studying for college. I've also been playing trombone for about 10 years now so I still practice consistently.

In Game Name: Jadecougar Age: 43 Country: Finland Are you familiar with Discord? Yes, very. What is your Discord ID?: Jadecougar#4377 <-- I'd sure value a conversation if there are any extra questions. How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?:I've had a long history with the Sanctuary after having been a member from the latter end of season 2 to season 5 (iirc), serving some of that time as an admin. Some of my best minecraft moments were with this group. Some of my best online friends came from this group. We have had amazing moments on this server and looking back at what creations were able to be made either by myself or with the build group that was developed over time, they were stunning and so much fun! There was a short period, however, where some of my darker days were from the "old days" when the Sanctuary was working to expand and moving into a different direction (a better one in the end to be fair). I bumped heads with a couple of the admins during a time in my life where I was going through some tough moments related to work and family. I tend to be very committed and take things very seriously when I'm responsible for something (which I was as an admin) and the combination made for a few unfortunate disagreements that led me to decide to leave.This was an unfortunate mistake in the end, even though short term that was necessary for me personally to get my bearings. I have regrets to this day for those moments and I write that publicly here to express humility and sincerity about it to those involved.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I think my favourite base was one made during the aquatic update with a couple of friends. We developed a story where villagers had been travelling by ship and a storm caused them to crash ashore. The villagers made a new home in a massive cave system that we terraformed. Below it was a hidden, gigantic tropical pool that was our team's "hub" for getting place to place. That was a HUGE build with many, many parts to it. Another one was on the Sanctuary server as well where we built several large pyramids in a jungle. Amazing builds. Lots of work that we still needed to do there but so much fun! As for style of building....nowadays, I've been paying more attention to the details of my builds, trying to improve from what used to be more functional builds. I don't really have a preferred style per-say but I do like the medieval/fantasy style of builds and builds using interesting shapes. I also like builds that lean towards a narrative of some kind, where the builds tell a story. I find those the most interesting and inspiring.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Vanilla. It's the base game that stays true to its original format. It's boring for some but I find it authentic and refreshing. The few plugins that this group uses are more QOL issues and it doesn't take away from the vanilla experience. I appreciate and value that. Also, I should mention that I enjoy building in a place where other people are active and committed to the long game. This is hard to find in the SMP world. SMP's are fun because of the economy and community events (when the server stays active of course) but the big thing I like is when you can find a group of people that are positive towards other players, want to help, and can foster a positive playing experience for every single person that plays. When these function well, SMPs can be the the end game experience in terms of enjoyment. Vanilla servers don't offer gimmicks or fads...just "the real deal"
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I have extensive experience with minecraft communities, belonging to many since 2010. Some of those have been building my own groups in the past. Many of those experiences have been with the Sanctuary. I joined a server some time ago that had an interesting vision but it has all but died, leaving a largely dead server with just four people. This has been a massive disappointment to me after putting a lot of time in making YouTube videos only to find yet another server that closed prior to that as well when the owner lost interest. I'm quite tired of communities that promise something and aren't willing to put the work in to make it happen. When the owner gives up, the server dies. It's pretty much that simple. The Sanctuary is calling me home....or so I feel. It's the one place that I could consistently in the past call home so I feel my community experience is leading me back to where I was welcome before and where I could potentially use my skills to help people again like I did before.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I love making videos as that's my hobby and profession currently. I've started to make minecraft videos as well, which has helped me hone my skills even more. Talking (coherently) and playing at the same time is hard, man! :lol::lol: I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing limited amounts of other games. I'm really drawn in towards DCS world as I'm a fighter plane enthusiast but my PC currently isn't powerful enough for that just yet.
If there's any other questions, I'm happy to answer them. Thank you for your time.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?: Just browsing the forum page
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I typically build in a sort of medieval style when I build.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Community, as much as I love playing MC it tends to get boring just playing by yourself so thats why I am more keen to play on multiplayer servers.
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I've played on one SMP community that was just me and a few of our college friends.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? Outside of MC I am usually playing CSGO, Working, or studying for college. I've also been playing trombone for about 10 years now so I still practice consistently.

How did you hear about The Sanctuary SMP community?:I've had a long history with the Sanctuary after having been a member from the latter end of season 2 to season 5 (iirc), serving some of that time as an admin. Some of my best minecraft moments were with this group. Some of my best online friends came from this group. We have had amazing moments on this server and looking back at what creations were able to be made either by myself or with the build group that was developed over time, they were stunning and so much fun! There was a short period, however, where some of my darker days were from the "old days" when the Sanctuary was working to expand and moving into a different direction (a better one in the end to be fair). I bumped heads with a couple of the admins during a time in my life where I was going through some tough moments related to work and family. I tend to be very committed and take things very seriously when I'm responsible for something (which I was as an admin) and the combination made for a few unfortunate disagreements that led me to decide to leave.This was an unfortunate mistake in the end, even though short term that was necessary for me personally to get my bearings. I have regrets to this day for those moments and I write that publicly here to express humility and sincerity about it to those involved.
What is your favorite/preferred base/building style? I think my favourite base was one made during the aquatic update with a couple of friends. We developed a story where villagers had been travelling by ship and a storm caused them to crash ashore. The villagers made a new home in a massive cave system that we terraformed. Below it was a hidden, gigantic tropical pool that was our team's "hub" for getting place to place. That was a HUGE build with many, many parts to it. Another one was on the Sanctuary server as well where we built several large pyramids in a jungle. Amazing builds. Lots of work that we still needed to do there but so much fun! As for style of building....nowadays, I've been paying more attention to the details of my builds, trying to improve from what used to be more functional builds. I don't really have a preferred style per-say but I do like the medieval/fantasy style of builds and builds using interesting shapes. I also like builds that lean towards a narrative of some kind, where the builds tell a story. I find those the most interesting and inspiring.
What aspect of vanilla gameplay draws you towards SMP? Vanilla. It's the base game that stays true to its original format. It's boring for some but I find it authentic and refreshing. The few plugins that this group uses are more QOL issues and it doesn't take away from the vanilla experience. I appreciate and value that. Also, I should mention that I enjoy building in a place where other people are active and committed to the long game. This is hard to find in the SMP world. SMP's are fun because of the economy and community events (when the server stays active of course) but the big thing I like is when you can find a group of people that are positive towards other players, want to help, and can foster a positive playing experience for every single person that plays. When these function well, SMPs can be the the end game experience in terms of enjoyment. Vanilla servers don't offer gimmicks or fads...just "the real deal"
Do you have any experience with Minecraft communities? I have extensive experience with minecraft communities, belonging to many since 2010. Some of those have been building my own groups in the past. Many of those experiences have been with the Sanctuary. I joined a server some time ago that had an interesting vision but it has all but died, leaving a largely dead server with just four people. This has been a massive disappointment to me after putting a lot of time in making YouTube videos only to find yet another server that closed prior to that as well when the owner lost interest. I'm quite tired of communities that promise something and aren't willing to put the work in to make it happen. When the owner gives up, the server dies. It's pretty much that simple. The Sanctuary is calling me home....or so I feel. It's the one place that I could consistently in the past call home so I feel my community experience is leading me back to where I was welcome before and where I could potentially use my skills to help people again like I did before.
Outside of Minecraft, what kinds of activities/hobbies do you enjoy? I love making videos as that's my hobby and profession currently. I've started to make minecraft videos as well, which has helped me hone my skills even more. Talking (coherently) and playing at the same time is hard, man! :lol::lol: I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing limited amounts of other games. I'm really drawn in towards DCS world as I'm a fighter plane enthusiast but my PC currently isn't powerful enough for that just yet.
If there's any other questions, I'm happy to answer them. Thank you for your time.
