All your creations are still there, btw, so once you resolve your technical issues you should be good to return. You can try joining our Discord group as well! ^^
Oh, sorry for wasting your time on that reply but I already knew xD
Still wonder how I'm gonna fit into my secret hovel on a vanilla server tho 🤔
Guess I'll just have to squeeze into my old tiny home. Shouldn't be too hard
As a sidenote, I hope nobody thought I abandoned the server. I actually had a cool idea for an underwater grotto, but kept recieving login issues with minecraft. Sorry you guys had to discontinue the project :<
Ooh we can suggest stuff? Not that I actually expect them to be added, but worth a shot.
For races:
Thriae: They look like a hybrid between a bee and a human. In mythology they could predict the future by throwing stones into a vase, so maybe a possible attack would be stones that they throw at you to cause various potion effects.
Adze: A vampire able to shift into the form of an insect (usually a firefly) and inflict disease onto it's victims.
Asrai: A fairy that melts into water when trapped/attacked
For animals:
Peryton: A winged deer
Ahool: A giant monkey with bat wings. It silently stalks it's prey through the jungle before dropping down onto it and attacking.
Dingonek: A leopard like creature with sabre teeth, large scales, and a poisonous stinger on the end of it's tail. It dwells near rivers
I have a question. Will the animals be the same sizes as in real life or a little different? For example, in minecraft 1 block = 1 meter so would a 2 meter long animal be 2 blocks long? Or will it be like the bat, much larger proportionally but still small by minecraft standards?
I used to think T.rex was completely overhyped, but it has 'grown on me'. It's not my favorite Dinosaur, but I think that bringing back a T.rex would get a lot more positive feedback and $ (for bringing back more) than bringing back a prehistoric relative of the blobfish.
"SCIENTISTS BRING BACK PREHISTORIC BLOBFISH"
"SCIENTISTS BEING BACK THE KING OF THE DINOSAURS"
See what I'm saying?
It would also settle the whole feathers 'debate' once and for all.
Well blobfish are only named that way because when they're brought to the surface, the change in water pressure causes their organs to implode resulting in a blobby corpse.
(Not exactly that, but my point is made)
So while it's still not as exciting as a tyrannosaur, it's not much different from other fish
Anyway, I think I would choose to bring back either dolichorhynchops, bananogmius, nemicolopterus, or archaeopteryx
I hope this doesn't count as a "reminder" for an update, but I think there should be a new kind of flying added. Bats are good, but can be limiting when exploring smaller spaces as they often suffocate you, start roosting, or just don't fit. Even though I doubt it will be added considering it isn't very gulliver "themed", maybe you could add wings as a rare drop from bats or as an ender dragon drop. It isn't too op, since I would recommend it as a tiny feature, which makes you weaker and unless you use commands, ensmallening isn't permanent. Of course, this is assuming you don't have something planned for elytra.
So how big are the pixies going to be? Not that it really matters, I just tend to get annoyed at oversized fairies for some reason. Either way, can't wait for this mod! The models so far are incredible!
QUESTION 2:
Oh wow, this is a complete rewrite. D:
I didn't mind your last answer FYI, but this one has much better sentence structure and it's devoid of any unnecessary sentences about word length, so I rather like it. ^^
On the other hand, you also dropped out the "drama magnet' observation from earlier which I kinda liked, so that makes Cia sad. XD
QUESTION 3:
WOW!! I love this nice combination of OLD, NEW and VERY NEW in your answer here, good job! ^^
For instance, you had also mentioned last year that you loved building underwater and are good with commands, and this is something I value a lot since underwater structures are AWESOME. We have a few such structures that you might enjoy visiting, plus a special "diving helmet" that you can buy to help you build underwater. ^^
QUESTION 4:
Oh darnit, you left that bit about breaking the "randomness limit" so... *backslap*
Don't make silly claims you can't back. XDDD
1> Okay. ^^
2> Okay, still good.
3> Heh, well I can hardly notice it in pictures either. XD
4> Awww, it looks like a hedgehog. XD
5> OMG?! Is that genetically modified or just genetically-manipulated through selective breeding? Oh these pet shops toying with nature. >v<
6> Oh my, a sea-faring dinosaur. And woohoo!! six facts, cool!
7> And yay, a seventh! And wow, that's a very handsome (if dangerous) looking wasp. D:
Now as a quick bubble-burst, I should probably point out that these entries so far aren't entirely random since three of them deal with animals, and two of them deal with games. In contrast, the one from last year has facts on teas, pets, elemenets, animals, comic books and aura colours.... all very random and distinct from one another.
So choice wise, your 2015 question is still the superior one -- but in fairness, your latest 2016 answer set has the juicier details, so they just barely pull you through just on their quality alone.
QUESTION 5:
Imma backslap you again... XD
*backslap*
And I'll probably do it again when I see you on the server,... be prepared to be called Sapphire_Hovel. XD
QUESTION 6:
Hahaha, that's a funny sign. ^^
VERDICT:
Okay. Well yesterday I thought you whined yourself out of the race, which WOULD have made your last app a real waste of time as you were quick to point out. Luckily you wiped away your tears, grew a backbone, studied my recommendations, and produced a fairly decent application. It's still not perfect (THAT DARN QUESTION 5!!!!!! *backslaps*), but it would net you a B+ and that's definitely more than enough to pass the test.
So congratulations! After a WHOLE YEAR, you finally have a chance to join our community. Welcome aboard.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I went on to set my spawn and size, but I'll officially start playing tomorrow. Thanks!
Sapphire, this is a big improvement over your latest application -- had you posted with this, you would have passed on your first post. Just so I know, though, did you follow my recommendation of combining last year's application with this year's application, or did you decide to start from scratch?
My main focus was following your recommendation, but a few parts here and there were from scratch
Probably driven you guys crazy by now (sorry about that), but as they say
“It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to get”. I tried to make it a little longer, while also being a little more random in the facts.
1) What is your Minecraft username (or "IGN")?
Sapphire_Hunter
2) Please explain why you would like to join the Server.
I don't remember exactly how I got into gulliver mod, but I found out about the server when watching gulliver mod showcases. I bumped into Gunia’s server, and of course it didn’t take long to find Big Sister. I was smitten with the trailers, and heard such good things about the server that I had to send an application. Like I’ve said before, I find the idea of different server perspectives interesting, and I love what I’ve seen so far.
3) Please explain how your
talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can
help contribute positively to our server.
It probably won’t help, but I’m good at summoning commands. Let me know if you need a chicken with squid tentacles. While trying to patch forge, I practiced at building small-scale houses. I'm currently working on a normal-scaled restaurant which can be completely operated by small-scale players. I'm also thinking of bat airports or racing areas, and possible slab house designs. Along with the small scale buildings, I LOVE building underwater. Underwater zoos, pet shops, I even fit an entire custom village once! (It took a LOT of fire).
4) Please list five random facts about yourself that can help differentiate you from other players.
Is there a randomness limit, because I think I broke it. That, and the number limit.
Being a Primal Carnage Forum member, I am very into both gaming and dinosaurs.
I am a huge Fairy Tail, Race to the Edge, and Gravity Falls fan. I tend to subtly reference them frequently.
I have a blue limbal ring. Unfortunately, nobody ever notices it.
Want more randomness?
The pokemon I draw in tuxedos the most is Joltik. Because why not?
My favorite genetically modified fish is the cosmic blue tetra. It glows in blacklight.
My favorite polycotylid subspecies is dolichorhynchops osborni. You might know it from a certain documentary.
My favorite insects are wasps. People think I’m a bit crazy because of this, but seeing a panda wasp for the first time makes you forget it could take down a cow.
5) To ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities on our server, please read the Novice's Creed, and write down one right or responsibility that you enjoy the most.
Right #5. If Tiny, you have a right to carve out a home within Spawnington, its sewers, or its various hovels, so long as the outward appearance of the aforementioned structures are not altered
6) And finally, to confirm that you read the Big Sister Server Quick Guide please write down the name of the official server currency.
CHEESE!
If you would like me to add screenshots or videos, I can provide that. I really need to clean up my planning space XD
