About me:
-------------------------------------------------
I've played Minecraft since alpha.
I am experienced in building and with redstone.
My skills with design and leadership are above average, I am also capable of following others.
I am capable of working individually or in a group.
I generally give individuals items when they truly need it and rarely accept or even ask since I am proficient at gathering resource in a timely manor.
IGN: Gontuzic Age: 22 Bans you have on record(we can check this part, so no lying!): None that I know of. Additional info (optional, we like to have an introduction to our new greenhorns!):
As of current, I have been on a minecraft Hiatus. Though in the past I have been a magnificent architect and redstone engineer.
I am honorable and will always keep to my word with the exception of role play scenarios and/or the occasional joke or two.
I am experienced in management of others and I know how to follow.
Being helpful is something that I am more than content to be.
I am currently serving my nation, and there is the opportunity of my temporary absence.
IGN: Gontuzic Age: 22 How long have you played: 3+ years What are you? (Builder, miner, redstone, etc.)

:Both Your first decisions:Should there be a starting town or not? Starting towns generally create a warmer feeling when an individual first joins a server. They also create a more stable environment for users rather than having to face the wilderness alone. I believe there should be a starting town.
Should players start with basic items or not? If so what should they start with? players should start with nothing but their bare hands.

Bob, Tim and Roberto are about to play Dungeons and Dragons with their Dungeon Master Amy. For a week, Amy has been devising the ultimate dungeon that would require skill, tact, and cunning to to overcome many of the obstacles. Tim, who happens to be Amy's boyfriend, decided that he would take a peak at the script while Amy was using the bathroom.
During the game, Bob and Roberto were having immense trouble overcoming the daunting obstacles that seemed to dwarf
the status of their characters abilities. Yet oddly enough, Tim, who actually was a Dwarven Brute, seemed to have the
agility of a level thirty Eleven Archer. In addition, he was able to avoid all obstacles that were in his way, almost
as if he knew they were coming. Amy was flabbergasted she had no idea how Tim was able to barrel through the dungeon so easily. She was even aghast at the idea that he knew every magical word to unlock the traps on the various chests littered throughout the dungeon. Finally, when Tim decided to stop and throw some explosives behind a false wall that contained several hell level bandits. Amy had enough, she blatantly accused Tim of cheating. Tim asked how he had been cheating and Amy simply replied that he had to have looked at the script before the game which in turn gave Tim an unfair advantage durring their session of Roleplay. - Metagaming
Give an example of Power-gaming:
Bob, tim and Amy are about to play anoher round of Dungeons and Dragons, only this time Roberto is the dungeon master. Roberto has become exhausted with losing so many of his characters because Bob, the healer, refuses to heal him. This week, Roberto decided that he would create a dungeons so hard, it would be impossible to defeat to teach Bob a lesson. Roberto decides to set up a dungeon in which there are traps everywhere. There are even traps ontop of trap. The Three manage to get through the majority of the dungeon due to Roberto's unlucky rolls. This angers Roberto. Roberto then decides that since he has a board hiding him from the rest of his friends, that he is going to start lying about his rolls. Suddenly, the team of adventurers begin to suffer, losing hitpoint after hitpoint. At one point, Roberto spawns a rabbit infront of the party. the rabbit goes up to bob and bites his finger thinking it was a carrot. Roberto "rolls" to see if the wound was fatal. Roberto rolls two pairs of 32 sided dice. The grand total came out to 11 which would probably account for a small cut.Roberto Claimed, against all odds, it was a whooping 128, killing bob instantly. - Powergaming
What specifically do you like about this server compared to other RP servers?
I like the general concept of civilizations colonizing a new land.
Do you have any questions?
Yes, Ive spectated a good portion of the land, it seems that many of the "Ships" are very close to eachother, within
a few hundred blocks even... the ship locations aren't expected to become cities are they?
IC (the more detail, the better)
Character Name: Vargus Belda
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Nocht
Class: Balanced
Profession(s): Miner
Physical Description: Vargus Belda is 5'4" with very fine, healthy looking skin. His skin has a gray color, his eyes are red with purple irises. His Hair is hair is white and his facial hair is a light gray. His teeth are so perfectly white that they almost seem to radiate light. His nails are generally trimmed and he has a faint aroma of apple pie. His hands are rough and if you were to lick him, you might say he tastes salty. His muscles bulge from
countless hours working deep within the depths of the planet.
Attire (clothing): Vargus wears a Red tinted leather miner's jacket with a light blue shirt.
Personality: Vargus is a stubborn, hardworking Nocht that is compelled by the Red to build contraptions. Vargus is fierce in an argument yet is quite timid on the battle field. His Timid behavior on a battlefield is not due to cowardice or weakness but the result of a calculated mind that prefers to sap his foes before they have a chance to fight back.
Backstory: Vargus Belda as you may have found by now, is a Nocht. His entire family was born in the darkness of below the surface of the world. In addition, the men women and children of his particular pedigree happen to all be miners like himself. A particular trait developed within his family that affected the physical appearance of the more recentgenerations of his family. Being alone deep in the dark for hours on end, chipping away at the foundation of mountains and floors of rivers can be a deadly task. The slightest sound could provide the needed information to recognize danger and provide even a just few seconds for a chance to survive. Several generations back, certain members of his family had begun to appear with ears an inch longer than the others. Like most societies, the odd ones out tend to be harassed and ridiculed. Yet one day, when the clan were given access to better tools, many of the clan had begun to mine faster than supports were being raised. When mines begun to collapse, only those who could read the subtle signs were able to make it out alive.
For seven sequencial years, mines had collapsed due to the shear arrogance of members of the clan. After nearly 60 deaths out of the small clan of 150, the individuals capable of producing offspring had a higher chance of resulting in the genetically dominant trait of longer ears. Several generations went by before the trait had been shared by a dominant portion of the Clan, durring which time Vargus was born.
As a young child, Vargus was forced into the mines. His father, as his father did before him, intentionally caused a mine shaft collapse to let Vargus feel the fear and intensity of the dangers in mining. The act his father performed was meant to help Vargus understand the signs of a shaft collapse. Vargus didn't learn anything from the collapse, he was arrogant and continued to mine wrecklessly. Six years after the staged collapse, Vargus was mining with his father. The signs presented themselves but Vargus didn't know the signs and his father was estatic about a recent redstone deposit that he had discovered. The deposit was quite large, large enough that his father thought it was a sign from The Red. The collapse began and immediately crushed Vargus' father. Vargus barely made it out alive.
Vargus learned the true signs of a shaft collapse that day. A few days later, he recovered his fathers body and inherrited his Red leather Mining jacket.
A year before ariving in the new world, Vargus had been granted the title of Foreman of all mining operations in his clan. It was a mere few months before he left for the new world when he met the first person from the surface world. Violence, Death, Deception these three traits were the main thing that Vargus had in the surface world. Not to mention the god awful giant ball of fire in the sky...
Aspiration: Vargus Belda aspires to establish a branch of his clan in this new world. He wishes to secure a foothold under the world of those on the surface.
I recently posted an app for a Nocht. I havnt actually been accepted but ive 'haunted' the server using the greylist. Ive noticed a few things:
- The mountains could use some work. As it currently is the mountains on your server are abrupt. While placement of your mountains is nice, the slope of the mountains are unnerving. I have lived near mountains for a good portion of my life, and i have never seen mountains with such a harsh and immediate incline. If you were to slope the mountains a bit more it should give a greater visual appeal and reduce the chances of people checking out your server then leaving.
- You have a desert right next to a tundra. I will be the first to say that this seems kind of unrealistic. The Zanaathar are supposed to be a race that thrive in the heat. Logically one would assume that as temperatures drop, they become increasingly inefficient.
- As for restrictive classes, from what I hear, people are handicapped by a lack of other players. This makes it hard for people to engage in the normal minecraft setting. my suggestion? instill a currency and have maybe 3 different vendors at each crash sight. Have the vendors buy raw materials (wheat, logs, cobble, metals) and sell tools, raw materials and blocks. This will allow you to grow your server and still keep the general restrictive atmosphere. In time, as the server becomes more populated with the required classes to sustain it, you can remove the vendors and let regular roleplay occur.
- The starting ships of each faction are within a few hundred blocks of each other. coming from someone who is experience in the psychology of minecraft players that's not nearly enough space. If there are 200 blocks between two faction's towns, and both towns expand 75 blocks toward eachother, that's a mere 50 blocks apart. Thats roughly two houses on average in minecraft. or if you're using 5x5 block houses, (requiring 7x7 blocks of space for walls) with a road of 2 blocks in between, (ignoring the fact people like yards) you have room for maybe 9 houses before the cities collide. This is an even bigger problem for the Nocht, because they inhabit the underground which means players are more likely to mine into their city or town.
- Another thing you could do would be to put applying individuals on hold. For instance, when you first start, wait until you've accepted 20 people then let them in at once. Then wait for new people to apply, tell them a specific date that they will be allowed to enter the server (I.E. if you have 5 apps a week and you set the whitelist date for every two weeks). This would allow for the server to seem like it isnt dying or isnt dead, and would provide a healthy helping of individuals. In addition, you could limit certain apps when the number of active players is high for that race.

I am 21 years old and am a good Builder, Redstone Mechanic and Roleplayer.
I have quite a bit more stuff that i had created. (warmer creations with wood and such) Unfortunately ive lost access to the screenshots.
Anyway. I am looking for a legitimate RP server with RPers who can actually keep to the storyline.
I.E. if John hates Kevin and would kill Kevin on sight, John wont rush to Kevin's rescue if Paul attacks Kevin.
It gets quite annoying when you have player who want to be in RP so bad that they have to ignore their storyline just so they can be apart of current RP.
I do not classify admins spawning monsters and saying "omg monsters are attacking your town! defend it everyone!" as RP. it's cheap thrills used to entertain the dull minds of our worlds current population of fourteen year-olds.
I am not fond of servers swelling with children raging with hormones. I say this because its gross to see fourteen yearolds trying to "get it on" in the middle of a well populated server. In addition, it is not cute nor is it entertaining to see an individual rage because someone on a pvp server killed him and didnt give him his items back.
If you have a working economy, Real RP (RP that actually requires players to stick to their characters, and is mostly driven by In Game Experience rather than "admin says you two hate eachother"), A lack of whiny children then I would like to hear from you, and Of course I will gladly indulge myself in any insane Application process that I see fit, in the event that I find your server interesting. for now, Ciao

In addition, the men women and children of his particular pedigree happen to all be miners like himself. A particular trait developed within his family that affected the physical appearance of the more recentgenerations of his family. Being alone deep in the dark for hours on end, chipping away at the foundation of mountains and floors of rivers can be a deadly task. The slightest sound could provide the needed information to recognize danger and provide even a just few seconds for a chance to survive. Several generations back, certain members of his family had begun to appear with ears an inch longer than the others. Like most societies, the odd ones out tend to be harassed and ridiculed. Yet one day, when the clan were given access to better tools, many of the clan had begun to mine faster than supports were being raised. When mines begun to collapse, only those who could read the subtle signs were able to make it out alive.
For seven sequencial years, mines had collapsed due to the shear arrogance of members of the clan. After nearly 60 deaths out of the small clan of 150, the individuals capable of producing offspring had a higher chance of resulting in the genetically dominant trait of longer ears. Several generations went by before the trait had been shared by a dominant portion of the Clan, durring which time Vargus was born.
As a young child, Vargus was forced into the mines. His father, as his father did before him, intentionally caused a mine shaft collapse to let Vargus feel the fear and intensity of the dangers in mining. The act his father performed was meant to help Vargus understand the signs of a shaft collapse. Vargus didn't learn anything from the collapse, he was arrogant and continued to mine wrecklessly. Six years after the staged collapse, Vargus was mining with his father. The signs presented themselves but Vargus didn't know the signs and his father was estatic about a recent redstone deposit that he had discovered. The deposit was quite large, large enough that his father thought it was a sign from The Red. The collapse began and immediately crushed Vargus' father. Vargus barely made it out alive.
Vargus learned the true signs of a shaft collapse that day. A few days later, he recovered his fathers body and inherrited his Red leather Mining jacket.
A year before ariving in the new world, Vargus had been granted the title of Foreman of all mining operations in his clan. It was a mere few months before he left for the new world when he met the first person from the surface world. Violence, Death, Deception these three traits were the main thing that Vargus had in the surface world. Not to mention the god awful giant ball of fire in the sky...
Aspiration: Vargus Belda aspires to establish a branch of his clan in this new world. He wishes to secure a foothold under the world of those on the surface.

There was no reply last time, If it's unacceptable could you tell me why.

- The mountains could use some work. As it currently is the mountains on your server are abrupt. While placement of your mountains is nice, the slope of the mountains are unnerving. I have lived near mountains for a good portion of my life, and i have never seen mountains with such a harsh and immediate incline. If you were to slope the mountains a bit more it should give a greater visual appeal and reduce the chances of people checking out your server then leaving.
- You have a desert right next to a tundra. I will be the first to say that this seems kind of unrealistic. The Zanaathar are supposed to be a race that thrive in the heat. Logically one would assume that as temperatures drop, they become increasingly inefficient.
- As for restrictive classes, from what I hear, people are handicapped by a lack of other players. This makes it hard for people to engage in the normal minecraft setting. my suggestion? instill a currency and have maybe 3 different vendors at each crash sight. Have the vendors buy raw materials (wheat, logs, cobble, metals) and sell tools, raw materials and blocks. This will allow you to grow your server and still keep the general restrictive atmosphere. In time, as the server becomes more populated with the required classes to sustain it, you can remove the vendors and let regular roleplay occur.
- The starting ships of each faction are within a few hundred blocks of each other. coming from someone who is experience in the psychology of minecraft players that's not nearly enough space. If there are 200 blocks between two faction's towns, and both towns expand 75 blocks toward eachother, that's a mere 50 blocks apart. Thats roughly two houses on average in minecraft. or if you're using 5x5 block houses, (requiring 7x7 blocks of space for walls) with a road of 2 blocks in between, (ignoring the fact people like yards) you have room for maybe 9 houses before the cities collide. This is an even bigger problem for the Nocht, because they inhabit the underground which means players are more likely to mine into their city or town.
- Another thing you could do would be to put applying individuals on hold. For instance, when you first start, wait until you've accepted 20 people then let them in at once. Then wait for new people to apply, tell them a specific date that they will be allowed to enter the server (I.E. if you have 5 apps a week and you set the whitelist date for every two weeks). This would allow for the server to seem like it isnt dying or isnt dead, and would provide a healthy helping of individuals. In addition, you could limit certain apps when the number of active players is high for that race.

I've played the following races: Golem, Demon,Dwarf, Human

Ive played on the following RP servers: Arcadian Conquest, Antioch, someotherserverIcantremember, and Well, ive probably audited a few more.
We are not going to ask if you read the lore/rules, but you risk ban if you don’t.
Give an example of Meta-gaming:
Bob, Tim and Roberto are about to play Dungeons and Dragons with their Dungeon Master Amy. For a week, Amy has been devising the ultimate dungeon that would require skill, tact, and cunning to to overcome many of the obstacles. Tim, who happens to be Amy's boyfriend, decided that he would take a peak at the script while Amy was using the bathroom.
During the game, Bob and Roberto were having immense trouble overcoming the daunting obstacles that seemed to dwarf
the status of their characters abilities. Yet oddly enough, Tim, who actually was a Dwarven Brute, seemed to have the
agility of a level thirty Eleven Archer. In addition, he was able to avoid all obstacles that were in his way, almost
as if he knew they were coming. Amy was flabbergasted she had no idea how Tim was able to barrel through the dungeon so easily. She was even aghast at the idea that he knew every magical word to unlock the traps on the various chests littered throughout the dungeon. Finally, when Tim decided to stop and throw some explosives behind a false wall that contained several hell level bandits. Amy had enough, she blatantly accused Tim of cheating. Tim asked how he had been cheating and Amy simply replied that he had to have looked at the script before the game which in turn gave Tim an unfair advantage durring their session of Roleplay. - Metagaming
Give an example of Power-gaming:
Bob, tim and Amy are about to play anoher round of Dungeons and Dragons, only this time Roberto is the dungeon master. Roberto has become exhausted with losing so many of his characters because Bob, the healer, refuses to heal him. This week, Roberto decided that he would create a dungeons so hard, it would be impossible to defeat to teach Bob a lesson. Roberto decides to set up a dungeon in which there are traps everywhere. There are even traps ontop of trap. The Three manage to get through the majority of the dungeon due to Roberto's unlucky rolls. This angers Roberto. Roberto then decides that since he has a board hiding him from the rest of his friends, that he is going to start lying about his rolls. Suddenly, the team of adventurers begin to suffer, losing hitpoint after hitpoint. At one point, Roberto spawns a rabbit infront of the party. the rabbit goes up to bob and bites his finger thinking it was a carrot. Roberto "rolls" to see if the wound was fatal. Roberto rolls two pairs of 32 sided dice. The grand total came out to 11 which would probably account for a small cut.Roberto Claimed, against all odds, it was a whooping 128, killing bob instantly. - Powergaming
What specifically do you like about this server compared to other RP servers?
I like the general concept of civilizations colonizing a new land.
Do you have any questions?
Yes, Ive spectated a good portion of the land, it seems that many of the "Ships" are very close to eachother, within
a few hundred blocks even... the ship locations aren't expected to become cities are they?

I am 21 years old and am a good Builder, Redstone Mechanic and Roleplayer.
I have quite a bit more stuff that i had created. (warmer creations with wood and such) Unfortunately ive lost access to the screenshots.
Anyway. I am looking for a legitimate RP server with RPers who can actually keep to the storyline.
I.E. if John hates Kevin and would kill Kevin on sight, John wont rush to Kevin's rescue if Paul attacks Kevin.
It gets quite annoying when you have player who want to be in RP so bad that they have to ignore their storyline just so they can be apart of current RP.
I do not classify admins spawning monsters and saying "omg monsters are attacking your town! defend it everyone!" as RP. it's cheap thrills used to entertain the dull minds of our worlds current population of fourteen year-olds.
I am not fond of servers swelling with children raging with hormones. I say this because its gross to see fourteen yearolds trying to "get it on" in the middle of a well populated server. In addition, it is not cute nor is it entertaining to see an individual rage because someone on a pvp server killed him and didnt give him his items back.
If you have a working economy, Real RP (RP that actually requires players to stick to their characters, and is mostly driven by In Game Experience rather than "admin says you two hate eachother"), A lack of whiny children then I would like to hear from you, and Of course I will gladly indulge myself in any insane Application process that I see fit, in the event that I find your server interesting. for now, Ciao
