I made no "demands" at all. I simply asked three questions about your server, and you didn't even have the common decency to either answer them or at least tell me you were not interested in me as a player. I have to thank you though, for revealing your inconsiderate nature. You saved me a lot of time figuring it out later.
Minecraft In-Game Name: lividimp
Discord Tag: Livid Imp#3304
How old are you? in my 40s
How long have you been playing Minecraft? Since at least early beta
What can you bring to our server? Herpes...ok, sorry no herpes, but I can bring a sense of humor and ton of experience both playing and running servers. I really want an adult server. Even good kids, are still kids and they are just too fickle for me. I need more stability. I'm a quiet, but friendly guy. I'm happy to lend a hand for community builds.
Nickname:livid or imp, I don't care really
Age: 40s (I'd prefer to leave it at that)
Discord (Name/#):Livid Imp #3304
Play any other games?: Tons, mainly various 4X and TF2
Why are you interested in Red Vanilla?: You're located near me, and I hate lag.
How long have you been playing MC?: Beta 1.3? I think? I can't remember. That was a long time ago now.
Would you like to be considered for staff?: I've owned my own server and been a mod for others...in other words, no. I don't mind helping out with kicking trouble makers, but I absolutely don't want to be involved in the administration. Been there done that.
Username: lividimp (Livid Imp)
What are you looking for in a server? Somewhere to zone out and stop thinking. I'm not very social, but I like trading resources with others.
What do you expect from a nearly perfect minecraft server? The perfect server has a full, balanced economy. A true "survival" struggle. Helpful players. Low ping.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I'm a former MC server owner looking for a place to _play_ rather than spend all my time managing temperamental plug-ins and switching hosts. I'm an old punk rocker with an intense love for underground music. If you want to know any more, you'll have to buy my biography, now out in paperback.
[Edit: Sorry about posting on the old thread. I did a search for "adult" survival and that was the first post that fit what I was looking for.]
I did exactly what I was asked to do. I'm helpful like that.
I was kinda hoping it would be someone that didn't know me that would read it and tell me to **** off. Oh well, I'll have to go back to trolling my sons instead.
Ingame Name: Livid Imp (might show up as lividimp, I can't remember) Where are you from?: The miserably hot state of California. Why do you prefer playing in a small community?: I dislike people. What is your favourite aspect of playing on a server with a vanilla-like gameplay?: I'm old and I remember when games were challenging. Tell us something about yourself: I was raised by Nazi vampire space wolves. I have two boys, 12 and 10, but they are only half Nazi vampire space wolf...and half Jewish. Why should we accept you?: Because if you don't, I'll hire little blocky assassins to drive little stone swords in your avatar's kidneys. Also, because I have great taste in music...and I'm humble...and I don't take things too seriously.

Mostly, yes. They're human too, and if I was hired by Mojang, I probably wouldn't have a lot of motivation to work my butt off. I'd be playing Minecraft all day, and I'd fix and update only the things that bothered me personally in the course of my own gameplay.
As a (I guess I have to say 'former') developer, I can tell you with certainty it doesn't work that way (at least at this scale). You have a database full of bug reports that usually get triaged by a project manager. Usually certain bugs get assigned to a specific person that handles certain types of bugs well, but otherwise you just go down the list fixing what you can. The sad reality is that most projects are short by a developer or two, so the bug list just tends to build up over time. Also, some bugs just can't be fixed within a reasonable amount of effort. Sure you could recode an entire project to address some fundamental problem, but no one is going to do that. You might as well create a whole new one at that point. So what I am saying is, I doubt they are spending all their time playing Minecraft. Also, some projects (like the plug-in API) might not ever happen despite assurances to the contrary. To be honest, I am not comfortable speculating either way.
Forgive me for being n00b, but what's the difference?
You're not being a noob, they are being stupidly nit-picky. To the general public, they are the same thing. The only people that make a big stink about the terminology are forum jockeys that want to show off their CompSci education (or pretend they have one). This same population will liberally abuse words like "literally" and "per se", but will suddenly get pedantic when it comes to video games.
Is anyone aware of a sound pack which mostly keeps the current sounds, but with the obnoxious ones toned-down? Minecraft's rain sounds more like a waterfall and the chest and door sounds are likewise obnoxiously loud.
Minecraft Name: lividimp Age: Too old to answer this question =p (don't worry, I'm still a college kid at heart) Country: USA Favorite in game activity: Everything. Building, mining, farming, redstone contraptions, trading. I'm a slow typist, so I don't talk much, but I like a player built community. I like (mostly) vanilla servers where I have to earn my way up. How long have you played MC: I've been playing since early Beta. I can't remember when that was.

Nevermind, I can't say I like how you treat people. Good luck to your players, I feel they'll need it.

Try lividimp#3304
Not sure if it has a space or not. I haven't used it in about a year.
I assume you'll discord the IP? I did not see it around.
