Age: 10 (but i promise i'm mature *most of the time*)
Location(Country, State, territory, etc): USA NY
How Long Have You Played Minecraft?: i believe i've played since beta 1.3_01, i don't quite remember, i know i was here before the wolves though.
How Do You Feel About Greifing?: I think it's stupid and childish, i mean, your breaking people's stuff just for laughs, how'd you like it if they knew it was you, and then destroyed your 'lovely' giant mansion huh? not funny to the griefers now is it?
You're starting a new village and you need a partner, who would you rather be your partner, a good friend but a bad builder or good builder but they have a "douchy" personality? Please explain.: A good friend, i judge on the building only if they ask me to, otherwise a giant pretty looking village is nothing to me, if they like being a douche, i say 'bye bye!' to them and get rid of them, a good friend with a horrible looking village for me is better than a bad friend in my eyes.
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff?: I expect that they will not ignore us like other mods and admins i've seen and not making us ask twice or more, and i expect that they won't be rude and start arguments, but settle arguements and make people stop being rude, and to handle griefing good and not like 'meh it's only a few blocks, you can fix it yourself'
How Do You Feel About Greifing?:I hate greifing and people who do it
You're starting a new village who would you rather be your partner:a good friend but a bad builder because they would be nice and I would help them if they make a mistake
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff?: that they stop griefers and keep there buildings and server up to date
Any details about your self(optional): you can trust me
How long have you played Minecraft?: not very long, 4-5 months, I believe
How do you feel about griefing?: After putting so much hard work and effort into creating something, I would hate it if somone were to just come by with a stack of TNT and blowing it to smithereens, or burning it, or manually picking it apart. It is absolutely horrible to have someone wreck a creation of yours no matter how insignificant, or magnificent it is, it still hurts that someone would crush the time and effort you put into something for pure pleasure. I hate griefers, and I have seen the death of an entire server, a young, upcoming server cut in the prime of it's youth by 1 broken piece of glass, literally, 1 piece of glass over a lava gateway burned down an entire wooden city (pre-fire nerf, of course), worst of all, I knew the guy who did it, he felt no remorse at all.
You're starting a new village who would you rather be your partner: I'd rather have a good friend, someone who'll stick by you through it all and help you see the quaint village turn into a sprawling city, even if it is mud huts and holes in the sides of cliffs. Someone who wont judge you by how you build, or act like they're better than you, or, after completing the town, taking full credit and leaving behind their former partner in the dust setting out for another town so they don't have to see the monster they created, but I digress, good personality with mud huts over douchitron with the gold paved roads.
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff?: I expect them to weed out hackers, so they can't detract from the game experience for everyone else, I expect them to keep us up-to-date on all the goings on in the server, and to keep promises they make about what they will do, not do (ex: "we're a 24/7 server!" and ten minutes later they go down for an entire weekend for Christmas or something with no warning). Not my most long-winded over-explained answer, but it's hard to think of anything better than, "they aren't douches," sorry.
Any details about your self(optional): Oh, where to begin. Well, my friends and I started up a server, months ago now, that we were going to put online after all four of us had built up cities of our own to command, with capital buildings, meeting rooms, markets, the works. We were going to have an rp server, with an economy, and banks, much like you have now, but then the server owner became corrupted. He started flying around the entire server building up things in our towns, and when we told him to stop, he claimed we were trying to hold power over him and that he doesn't need to take it, and he could just ban us, well, we didn't want to be banned after all the hard work we put into the server, so he got his way, he held all that power over us and yelled at us when he perceived we did the same, though we weren't. He never actually built his city, he had us do it, though we all had to build our own cities from scratch, i was forced to build the ground (it was a floating city), my other friend had to build his house, and the last was forced to build a tower on his land, he did nothing, he sat there and yelled at us, and forced us to do more for him, then started making terrorist demands, (placing TNT inside our capital buildings and threatening to blow them all up if we didn't listen to his hypocritical bullsh*t, and we finally decided we were fed up, we wired his entire city, the damned monument to our slavery, and distracted him long enough to blow it all away in a single blast! (it was all our work, so it technically wasn't griefing, looooophooooles)and we migrated to a server by my other friend where we are currently working to bring it into a glorious new age with mods, a fair ruler, giant cities, carious landscapes, etc. We have a lot of work to do on it, but the server owner is usually only online in the evening (and therefore the server is only online in the evening) and I want to be able to play on a server when he's offline, ad here, I can also become inspired by in game structures to add to my city in the other server that I can now build upon without that malicious owner from before leeching off my efforts to build what he should be building.
P.S. I only destroyed the city because it was the only way to get it through his head that we were fed up with his rule and that we don't care what he does to us since he can't really do anything to us.
Location(Country, State, territory, etc): United States of America
How Long Have You Played Minecraft?:A good year by now, back in the good old non-neather days
How Do You Feel About Greifing?:Immature. I don't understand why people would to it. "O look a structure someone spend 3 days on and its made out of wool LETS BURN IT DOWN BOYS" <-- don't understand why that is fun
You're starting a new village who would you rather be your partner, a good friend but a bad builder or good builder but they have a "douchy" personality? Please explain.A good friend because even if he can't build he is still a friend and he would be a better companion than a "douchy" personality
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff? To help me if needed. As if i come across a Greifer but besides that just not to abuse there power
Any details about your self(optional):I like the idea of starting you own little village!:biggrin.gif:
Location(Country, State, territory, etc): Midwest, Usa
How Long Have You Played Minecraft?: about 10 months now.
How Do You Feel About Greifing?: I personally find it generally jerk move. It's destroying something that someone put time and effort into. There is no point to it. How can someone even get a laugh out of it? "LOL It's funny cause it's ruined!"? I don't think so.
You're starting a new village who would you rather be your partner, a good friend but a bad builder or good builder but they have a "douchy" personality? Please explain.
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff?: To generally not be nosy, but at the same time kick/ban those who are needed. Not to butt in so soon, but not to butt in to late. Just don't spawn items. Hell you could forget what i just said if you just take the don't spawn items for players. Ruins the fun of the game.
Any details about your self(optional):I have found a lot of "good" servers but not a "great" server yet. Hopefully this will be that server. ;]
How Long Have You Played Minecraft?: I think It's about 2 or 3 years, since beta 1.2.
How Do You Feel About Greifing?: Honestly, I think griefing is a great way of saying "I'm a bad builder and I'm jealous and resentful of your ability to build well". It displays a lack of maturity and an inability to just take pride in your own achievements. Even if you feel that you are doing it to "clean up the server", you are still destroying someone else's home or structure that they spent time to build, and you have to think about how you would feel if someone did that to you. Also, it is really a futile gesture since it is easily discovered and fixed with Big Brother and rollbacks.
You're starting a new village who would you rather be your partner, a good friend but a bad builder or good builder but they have a "douchy" personality? Please explain. I would rather a good friend because not only are good builders much easier to come by, also it is important to have someone that you can rely on and agree with when running a town, rather than someone who will always be making bad policies and countering everything you do, arguing every little thing (kinda like Congress Plus, I would rather have a well managed, friendly town that looks like junk than a beautiful town that even I can't stand to live in because of one of the co-mayors.
What do you expect from a good Administrative staff and Moderation Staff? I expect at least some level of fairness (although that is difficult since fairness is very objective) as well as maturity and an understanding that their job is to help, even if it is sometimes annoying. In the past, I have been kicked from servers because I asked an admin (very politely) to roll back my house after it got griefed, and he was busy working on his own project. I feel that behavior like this is inexcusable from an admin whose biggest job is to deal with griefers. Also, I feel that even though admins have the power to use worldedit or creative mode, they should still be forced to play just as "vanilla" as the rest of us, except when performing their admin duties. I have been on servers where admins will cheat in armor and weapons and then destroy everyone in the arena, and this is really not right.
Any details about your self(optional): I have been looking for a server like this for almost a year, and though I have yet to login, I feel like this could finally be the server I have been wanting.
Edit: The server is down right now...does it still exist or is this just scheduled maintenance type stuff?
