Any questions? - if you die will you be able to re spawn?
Additional info -
Sorry, but you are way below the age requirement and your app is extremely short.
Tell a bit about yourself - Well, I am a university student in British Columbia, Canada. Currently on my second year of a bachelor of science, majoring in computer science. Computers have always been a passion of mine, and I've always been known as "The computer guy" with family and friends, being the one called to fix all the tech-y problems people have, which has led me to looking for a computer related career. I originally entered the program with the goal of becoming a programmer, but now I may switch programs into something more IT related, as I've found I enjoy working on the systems and servers themselves much more compared to the programming aspect. There are a few IT related programs at the university where I currently live, but I may end up moving to Vancouver to head to BCIT if I go down the IT route. I've also found a passion for the social sciences well in university, and have been exploring both anthropology and history as possible career routes (most likely some form of teaching job). I've been playing videogames most of my life, from the day long ago when I was just a wee lad and my mom brought out her old NES for me and my older cousin to play on. I was hooked right away, and videogames have been a passion ever since. I am almost exclusivly a PC gamer nowadays, and invested (far too much!) into buying and building a top of the line gaming PC. Like most canadian boys, I played hockey for a large part of my life, learning to skate at four years old, and playing hockey from then on until I was sixteen. I also played football and rugby through highschool, although retired from sports after highschool (atleast at any competitive level).
How long have you been playing minecraft? - The first time I played minecraft was slightly after infdev was released (very early 2010?) on a copy my friend gave me on a flashdrive and using his account, although I didnt actually buy an account until some point in alpha. I played on several servers when multiplayer first came out, until I settled on one server that I eventually became an admin on in late 2010. After that servers death early in the next year, I essentially retired from multiplayer minecraft. I tried a couple servers after that, but found myself annoyed by the mods used on most servers, and how far many of them were from the real survival experience that is non-creative minecraft. I still played and continue to play single player on and off, but the only time I ever played online in the last couple years was a server I hosted myself for a handful of close friends.
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it - Nope.
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? - There were many servers I played for a handful of days before getting tired of their gimmicks, but only one server I actually spent a considerable amount of time on, http://www.minecraft...-to-the-island/ . I was an admin on that server, and pretty active during its life. It was pretty early in multiplayers life, so there were many bugs and insane amount of client side lag and issues, but it was quite fun. It was nearly ruleless, and was a true survival experience, with people forming groups, and one group actually growing large enough to dominate almost all others. It got to the point where within a day of a new group forming they would have wiped out a the new group and taken over their mines, grinders and treasures. A group that big, and unfriendly, was obviously quite a headache for anyone with admin duties, but it was actually very enjoyable and interesting to watch these mini communities grow and change. Eventually, the owner of the server decided to end it and start a new one, and I decided I didnt want to follow. After that I tried a handful of new servers, including some ran by old members of the MMORPG project, but couldnt find anywhere I found enjoyable, life got busy and multiplayer minecraft just become another forgotten hobby.
Why would you like to join the server? - Lately, I've felt a desire to become part of a community again. Ive been part of several communites through my years of pc gaming, both as admin and player, but within the last year or two I slowly retreated from online gaming except with close real life friends as life got busy and other hobbies formed. I have very fond memories of multiplayer minecraft, and decided to try and find a server to join again. I was hunting for a very vanilla, very mature and very private server, and this server sounded like exactly what I wanted! Just playing survival minecraft with a group of nice mature people sounds amazing. One of the biggest things that caught my eye was the extremely tough entry, I simply don't want to play with a bunch of griefers and immature players anymore. Not only that, but the idea of building and surviving with other players, no one cheating in resources and working hard to pool together for big projects and to survive sounds great! The difficulty enhacement also sounds like just my cup of tea. When I play singleplayer, I am one of those sadistic people who love playing on hardcore. The risk factor really makes the investment in your base feel like an accomplishment and rewarding, and the way it makes minecraft survival mode actually about survival is amazing. A mod that removes the silly regenerating health mechanic that came with what I first thought would be a great survival mechanic in hunger would really add more to surviving as a whole.
What is your forte in minecraft? - Well, it might not be called a forte by some, but I actually enjoy just doing some monotone mining pretty regularly. Atleast in my group of friends the mining and exploring cave aspect of minecraft to gather the resources to build was considered a hassle, but it is easily one my most beloved things to do. I often find myself spending hours building a branchmine at diamond levels, or exploring further and further into a cavern system or abandoned mineshaft. I consider myself a decent builder, but not up to par with some of the amazing builders out there nowadays, and I know my basic way around redstone. I also dont usually have issues in combat, and can survive a night or dungeon easily enough even on hardcore.
Also, it's more of just a forte in online communites than minecraft itself, but I've often found myself being the one to settle disputes and calm down arguments. I like to make sure everyones enjoying themselves and things are running smoothly. To me, its quite satisfying to just make sure everyones happy.
How often will you be online? - I will most likely play at night more than day, as I work on weekends and go to school Monday through to thursday, but I will still be on during the daytime often, Normally I will be on daily, hopping on and off throughout a day, but as a university student there will be times where I won't be online for a day or two as life gets busy with studying and projects. Hopefully that can be accepted, but when it comes down to it I simply wont sacrifice my academics for a videogame.
Any questions? - How often will there be map resets? Yearly? Every large update?
Additional info - Steam name: dataerr0r (steam is essentially always on if I'm home)
Another outstanding application! Very well written! You said something about maybe not playing for a few days at a time as academics get in the way; Don't worry about that! It's perfectly fine to take breaks now and then. However, if you do plan to be away for an extended period of time, please let me know.
To answer your question: There is no set interval for map resets. I can tell you that they won't be very often, though.
Good thing you included your steam name, too. We have a steam group now for server members.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I have a Bachelors of Engineering in Aerospace Technology and am an Aircraft Maintence Engineer in the RAF. I could have applied to be an officer with my degree, but I much prefer the more hands on work. Plus, uni was mainly about drinking and having a good time XD. I get to travel the world a bit with my job, so I get to see different countries and cultures. I'm not really a sports person, but I do like to go rock climbing. Despite the cool sounding nature of my job, I'd still desribe myself as a bit of a geek, as I am quite contempt to just relax in my room for several hours playing computer games, watching anime and reading webcomics. I've also been trying to get into drawing, as I would like to have my own webcomic at some point.
How long have you been playing minecraft: I bought it while it was still in beta, although I don't remember what version it was. I've played it on and off for a few years, ocasionally getting bored of it, but I have been playing it much more since they started adding more and better features.
Have you ever been banned: Only if you count someone hacking the server and banning everyone (including admins), before going on to nuke the whole server
Have you played on any other servers, and why did you stop: I've played on around 5 different survival servers, all of which eventually shut down. Two of those where whitelisted and where the more enjoyable servers to play on. The last one I was on was a PvP survival server, but shut down after the server and website got hacked. I generally just stick to one server at a time.
Why would you like to join the server: I always get bored playing single player, multiplayer adds a certain randomness to the game that I like, as you never know what people are going to say, or whether someone wants help with something or wants to trade for items (that, and it is always nice to be able to show off your latest build). I've even found myself being more willing to grind materials for someone else than I would be if I was the one that needed the materials. I've noticed that whitelisted servers generally have a better atmosphere while playing, as the people tend to be more friendly and helpful, as well as being much less likely to destroy the build you spent hours making. Also, vanilla minecraft feels more rewarding, as you've had to collect all the resources for your build, rather than just spawning in a load of blocks.
What is your forte in minecraft: I've always liked my builds to be functional in someway, rather than just something pretty to look at. This usually involves a lot of redstone and pistons. Before my last server shut down, I was planning on making a firework factory that would produce all the basic materials needed to make them. I also used to like messing around with minecarts, and as there is no teleporting on this server, it would be nice to get back into that.
How often will you be online: I usually play for 4-5 hours in a week, more if I'm bored or have been enjoying a particular build.
Any questions: [Question removed, was already answered]
Additional information: I'm a relatively friendly and helpful person that, while a bit quiet at times, will still talks your ears off if it is a subject I know well. Also, my favorite food is chicken and vegetable stirfry with a lot of soy sauce.
I hope this application is suitable enough and I look forward to your reply.
Neil.

Tell a bit about yourself - I am what you would call an adrenaline junkie. Me and my father do a multitude of dangerous and crazy things together. We do everything from downhill mountain biking to skydiving. However, my favorite thing we do together is ropeless mountain climbing. Just the thought of falling is enough to make a man go crazy, and the feeling of the rock just feels heavenly. While your climbing, you can literally hear yourself thinking "If I fall, I will die." It is an insane feeling to climb or watch your loved one climb, knowing that if they make on false move, they are going to be seriously hurt.
When I'm not doing something stupid or crazy, I'm either doing school, running, gaming, or pumping iron. I have played a multitude of different sports from football, track (100m and 1 mile), cross country, and weight lifting.
A fun fact about myself is me being home schooled all my life. Only for Drivers Ed have I been inside a public or private school, as I have had no reason to otherwise. Now I know what your thinking, "Oh, this guy is a homeschooler, he must be un-socialized and a total loser." Well I must say you are WRONG. Being homeschooled is a very fun thing that has just as many activities as normal schools. In fact, all the sports I stated above are all homeschool teams, and there are different people in each one. Therefore, I have plenty of friends to socialize with that are from totally different ways of life.
I'm a very disorganized spontaneous young gentleman as quoted from many of my friends. suffer from mild ADHD, and it is really hard to pay attention to anything for me. I was distracted over twice writing this application. Because of my "condition" it makes it hard to stand still, resulting in hilarious spurts of energy where I will jump or start singing in public. Despite my crazy sounding life, I am very focused on being a gentleman, especially the ladies. Because of my kind behavior when I'm not going crazy and my very fit and athletic body, I am what you would call a "Ladies Man". Despite this, I am trying to stay pure to myself, shying away from anything that could get me in trouble with women.
How long have you been playing minecraft? - Ever since the release of Indev version, circa January 2010 before really anything was released. At this time, MineCraft was actually a true game of survival, very difficult in fact.
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it - I have been banned from two servers as far as my knowledge goes. Both where because of griefing. The first server I was banned from was an event which I regret enormously. In fact, it was the first server I ever joined. I was quite young when I first joined the server (12 years old) and I was not the brightest young lad. Not thinking at all, as soon as i joined the server, I start to wreck the entire server, not reading any signs at spawn. I am eventually banned, and I could not figure out why, well, now I know.
The second ban was a big misunderstanding. I was playing with a friend of mine on a server, chatting via skype. We both where making separate houses because we thought it was weird to live with each other. My good friend informed me that he needed help building his house, so I grabbed some materials and began to help him. Next thing I know, I was banned. I am not positive, but I believe I was banned for helping build my friends house, which could easily be misunderstood as griefing.
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? - I have played on well over 20 different servers that vary from simple vanilla server to minigame servers. The main reason I have stopped playing on most servers is either because I have gotten bored, or the server shut down. I have noticed the only servers I play on for long periods of time, however are pure vanilla servers, as you cannot replicate the fun and uniqueness of pure vanilla.
Factions servers have always been an interest of mine, but recently there are simply too many servers that use the factions scheme. Simply, I have become bored of it. Faction servers are so overused and over advertised, I just feel guilty playing on one. This is why i am retreating back to good old vanilla MineCraft to freshen my experience with the game.
Minigame servers I have loved since their beginning. When I am not playing single player, I am usually on a minigames server playing my heart away. If I am accepted into your fine server, I will still be playing minigames occasionally simply because I cannot stop! (Prop Hunt just gets my adrenaline going!)
A favorite of mine would have to be Towny servers. I love the concept and game play, but there simply aren't any good well devolved or thought out Towny servers out there anymore. The server market is overrun by flashy factions servers that decimate all other servers in competition with them.
I have played on a few Vanilla servers, but it seems every single one I join shuts down a month or so later. This is one of the reasons I wish to join your server, I know it wont simply shut down randomly.
Why would you like to join the server? - As stated above, I would really appreciate a pure Vanilla server that isn't crazy or flashy. Also, I know this is a well maintained server that has professionals working 24/7 to help others enjoy and explore. The main reason I would like to join, however, is because of the age requirment and mature player base. Even on other whitelist vanilla servers, there are extremely immature young adults ans even adults that make the server no fun to play on. This annoys me because my younger siblings simply love to watch me play MineCraft, but when someone starts cussing, I have to tell them to leave or I have to remove the chat bar. On this server, I am very confident that this server will provide the family friendly mature playerbase that almost no server have.
Another big reason I was attracted to this server is because it did NOT stand out to me. It was not flashy or trying to get attention. It is a humble and very modest server looking for players that are not going to quit.
The reason this server really catches my attention, however, is the difficulty. Like you stated in the server description, recent versions of MineCraft are simply too easy and do not support the survival aspect of MineCraft. Your server wants to promote the survival factor to the point where only the fittest survive, which fascinates me. Most survival server are pointed at friendly trading, while your server is almost hell-bent on survival, which is my favorite thing about what I have heard about this server so far.
What is your forte in minecraft? - what I excel in in MineCraft is building and simply surviving. Because of my years of experience, I have developed a very ability to survive in almost any given situation in MineCraft. Whether it be a desert, ocean or cave, I can find a way to survive with minimal resources.
Building is also my strong suite. I am very skilled at building modern and medieval buildings. Given the resources, I can make just about anything.
A big weakness of mine though is redstone. No matter what I do, I just don't have the attention span or creativity to create crazy contraptions.
How often will you be online? - Maybe 2-4 hours a day. Right now I am busy with sports and school, but I can easily find time to sit down at my computer and start gaming.
Any questions? - No. Your description answered any questions I had. Also other questions people have asked answered any other question I possibly had.
Additional info - My favorite movie is Monty Pythons Quest for the Holy Grail. My favorite food, as my name suggests, is waffles. My favorite dog breed is Rat Terriors, and last but not least, my favorite video game ever is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. (Not the new MMORPG, the original game)
Thank You for reading my post!
-LilxWaffle
Shadow, I think your app could have been a little better in some places. Maybe writing it at 3 am wasn't the wisest decision. Despite that though, it wasn't bad at all.
Waffle.......Wow. I don't even know what to say. Your application was just amazing.
I believe both of your should have already received messages by now.
Your application was very short. You were extremely to the point, and gave absolutely no insight to your personality whatsoever. Some parts of your app didn't even make sense.
Tell a bit about yourself - Funnily enough, this section is the last section which I completed. I’m not sure if whether it’s because I’m reserved, or just nervous about revealing too much about myself to someone who ultimately, I don’t actually know. But I’ll try and complete this as best as I can. If you have any questions or want me to add more to this, please ask.
I’m currently 17, though at the end of November I’ll be 18. I feel like age does and doesn't represent the maturity of a person, but understand why you have set restrictions on the age of the applicants. In sixth-form (I don’t know where you live, but in England, Sixth-form is one form of further education), I currently study History, ICT and Science and I’m looking to continue my education on to University in September 2014.
In my personal time, I do a range of different activities which relate to my hobbies. I play a music instrument, I run a sports club, I’m a member of a games (both board and computer) club. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, both in real life and friends whom I've never met but deserve to be called friends.
How long have you been playing minecraft? - I believe I joined around the Halloween update back in 2010. However, I had been playing the free creative edition which was around at that time for a few months beforehand.
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it - No, I've never been banned.
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? - Throughout my years of minecraft (How time has flown) I've played on a couple of servers and hosted my own.
The first server I can remember being a member of was an old gaming community which I belonged to. We had our own private sever which members could use and i can remember amazing memories of silly things we did on it, my favorite being covering a friend’s mansion in water (Sounds really childish when I look back at it, but I guess I was a child then). The community ended up closing as we all went on our own different ways, with the owner going to university.
After the community collapsed, I played on a couple of servers which I can’t remember the name for but never ‘clicked’ with the members and as a result left. I eventually decided to try and host my own sever for a group of friends. This lasted a couple of months and even though it was a white listed server, we had around 20 members throughout its lifetime. I’m pretty sure I've still got the old map, which had so many silly things. I closed the server at the beginning of 2013 as a result of my computer not being able to run Minecraft on the lowest settings and no-one else was willing to run it.
Why would you like to join the server? - After purchasing myself a new laptop which can handle Minecraft and many other games which I've thrown at it, I've decided to get back into minecraft’.
After looking at several different server advertises on the forums and the subreddits, I came across yours and was surprised by how aesthetically pleasing your post was. After seeing several walls of text for servers, yours made the biggest impact on me, which is why I feel that taking the time out to write an application for your server and hopefully gaining a place on your server is the right thing to do.
With 13 current members listed, I feel that your community is already developed which is something I was looking for, the chance to join a developed community and to make new friends.
What is your forte in minecraft? - My forte is minecraft? I’d like to think of myself as a decent builder but that changes depending on who is viewing it and I don’t have any images to show. I’m also fairly capable with redstone, but there is always room for me to improve my understanding of redstone.
I’d say my forte in minecraft is being part of a community and bring new ideas and experiences to a community. From my previous experiences on servers, I have always tried to do things which bring together the community and let everyone have a good time.
How often will you be online? - Availability is always mentioned. I see people who write as much as I can or every evening but that can never account to anything which may affect a person’s availability. For myself, a community which has allowed me to make friends in will always be dedicated time, as enjoyment is always appreciated. I will strive to be on as much as I can, to enjoy time with other people and get up to all shenanigans, but mostly pranking!
Any questions? - After re-reading your post, I can’t see anything which relates to why you've decided to name the server Fall Damage 2.0. Is this because of the change of map or something else?
Also, does the name Fall Damage have any related to Adlingtont’s LP series on the Mindcrack server or is it just a coincidence? Nothing meant by it, just curious.
Another thing, which country is the majority of the community based in?
Additional info - I’d just like to repeat something which I said earlier to finish of my application. Your professionalism and aesthetically pleasing server post is what had drawn me to spending the time and effort to try and create an application which is worthy of your time reading.
Also, my favorite colour is BLUE and my favorite food is Lasagna
Thank you for the giving me the chance to sell myself and for taking the time to read my application.
Not a bad app in the least! I see your questions have already been answered, so, jsut be awaiting a PM from me :)To everyone else who hasn't been quoted, I'm sorry, but you didn't make it. If you have any questions as to why, just say the word, and I'd be glad to give tell you why or give you critique for the future.
Regarding recording/ livestreaming: We allow people to record themselves playing on the server. But you MUST get permission from everyone before you start recording.
Just a slight correction. You don't have to get permission from everyone. Just get permission from people in the video before recording them or posting it to youtube.
AGE 20. I am not sure where you are in terms of demographics, but looking at other applications, I see that a few applicants are over the age of 20.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I am not a heavy gamer so I do not think you will be seeing much of that rager attitude come out of me. I usually do not speak when playing Minecraft, but may occasionally talk to myself during prolonged activities such as mining and farming; and I do not mean having conversations with myself, but short unfinished sentences like "need more gold/coal/iron/diamond" and/or "need more room/seeds." I find myself to be a funny person in personality and attitude, being very relaxed in nature. I will never aggress anyone unless provoked and I believe I can bring in some insight to the younger players.
I currently work two jobs, but they are not too heavy in workload or hours; to that, I am usually gone during the afternoon, say 3-7p.m EST on most weekdays. Anything prior to or post of said time I spend on my computer.
MINECRAFT EXPERIENCE
I do not quite remember when I purchased the game, but I believe it has been a little over two years now? Of course, I did not dedicate the past two years solely playing Minecraft, it was more on and off. I did not get to experience every part of the game, such as venturing to The End and delving deep into The Nether.
BANNED? BLACKLISTED? WHITELISTED?
Never. I have been in search of a small-community multiplayer survival mode server and have been unsuccessful.
MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE
I have played in Frost Hunger Games and EcoCity servers and the reason why I stopped playing those two servers is simple: it was not a survival mode server. Everything was almost spoon fed to the player with no chance of engaging in adventure nor having the privilege of creativity. If you wanted something, you either had to go find it in the market or work for the money to then purchase it in the market. Not fun.
REASON FOR APPLICATION
Well, again, I have been looking for a small community survival mode server. It gets a tad bit lonely playing by yourself in singleplayer and I think I spend enough time alone at home and work to want to spend more time alone in a world where the population is only one.
PROS AND CONS
I am more of the casual gamer, so I do a lot of supplying such as mining, farming, and breeding. I have no experience with redstone and I am sorry if you are searching for experienced redstone users, I am not the one to fill that role. But instead, I can be the one to supply blocks, tools, and weapons if some people are short on it or are too lazy to craft it themselves.
Also, I spend a lot of desiging structures, but I specialize in houses. I have tried to make other structures, such as cathedrals, palaces, walls, bridges and the like, but I do not find it nearly as fun as designing homes. Most often, those structures are based off of other structures and I do not following guidelines when it comes to my own creativity.
ONLINE ACTIVITY
I dedicated almost three to four hours a day on Minecraft when I first purchased the game, but now I spend maybe one to two hours maximum. I can dedicate more hours, that is not a problem, but I do have a social life (albeit, a very limited social life) that I try to maintain. Weekdays I will probably be on during the aforementioned time, but the weekends may vary.
QUESTIONS?
Will I be booted off the server if I am absent for a prolonged period of time? I ask this because prolonged to me is about two to three weeks, whereas to the younger people whose attention span is just short of a squirrels', it may be shorter.
If I will be booted, how long would I have to be absent for before being booted?
EXTRA
I have a slight slip of the tongue problem, so I may slip a few curses here and there during activity.
I will also note that this is my first post because I do not usually engage myself in forums like these. I do not really engage in an internet life such as blogging or posting on forums and I have never been the person to do such a thing.
Hey I'm really sorry for such a long wait, but we've decided that your app is better than most.
To answer your question, players that are absent for around 1-2 weeks get booted. However, if you plan to be gone for long periods of time, just be sure to let me know and you'll be just fine. You should get a PM from me in the near future.To everyone else, I apologize, but you didn't quite make it. If you have any questions why, or just want some feedback or critique, feel free to ask!
I do have a Skype account and am usually able to talk. However I'm not comfortable providing my Skype name here and is it alright if I PM you my skype name or announce it in the server if I get whitelisted. If it is important information and you need it immediately I can provide it if I must.

Tell a bit about yourself -
I'm a 17 year old male who has been a gamer for pretty much my whole life. Ever since I laid my hands on my very first video game (Super Mario Bros) I have never been able to take my hands off games, be it on the PC or on consoles. I own a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo DS which I both play regularly. As for my personality, I used to be someone who is very quiet, being unable to communicate to people, but after playing a lot of online games and meeting a lot of different people over the net, I have been able to open myself up and learnt how to communicate properly (contrary to the popular belief that games actually cause people to forget how to communicate properly). I am also a humorous person who loves to crack jokes, be it cold or lame jokes or even sarcastic statements.I tend to make jokes out of things that I observe daily and I'm able to make jokes out of just simple things such as actions that people do (E.g. jumping in circles in Minecraft). I'm not a very sporty person but I like to play sports such as basketball and badminton, which I do so about once every two weeks with a bunch of my great friends. About my other hobbies, I have been learning the piano since I was 4 years old, and have a deep interest and a strong passion for it. In addition, I like to perform magic tricks for my friends and family, and even strangers when I feel like it. Music wise I love to listen to country music, it is just so soothing to listen to. I started to play Minecraft via peer pressure since so many of my friends were playing. Truth be told I actually didn't like Minecraft before I started playing it, but the moment I played about 10min of it, I was totally hooked.
How long have you been playing minecraft? -
I have been playing since Beta 1.8. I would have actually started earlier if I hadn't been so dumb and refuse to play it because I thought it won't be that fun when I was watching my friends play it. However, I have actually played past versions with the use of MCnostalgia and have actually played on server with real life friends for about a month. We all could not take it any more eventually because it was just too difficult.
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it -
I have been banned once temporarily for pranking someone on another server which allegedly allowed pranking with Mindcrack rules (No blatant griefing. TNT, lava, fire) I then explained my situation to the server owner and he then unbanned me, but I'm not sure whether that ban will show up on any ban history I have.
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? -
I have mainly played on 2 servers before, and have joined a few other servers. For the main 2 servers, For the first main server, I stopped because the server got closed due to the owner being unable to get the money to keep the server running, which was a big pity. For the second main server, I stopped playing because the 2 server owners changed after about 4 month of me being on it. The 2 server owners started to abuse their power and use commands that allowed them to cheat and do whatever they want on the server like destroying builds that did not belong to their friends, and killing people whenever they wanted, so I went ahead and quit the server. For other servers that I quit after a few days, it was because they did not have a stable community, and had barely anyone online every time I wanted to go play on it. New people were also being whitelisted everyday, which resulted in the server becoming crowded with small builds which will never see their owners after a few days, so I always quit after a few days for these type of servers that I join.
Why would you like to join the server? -
I really want to join a server that has an actual stable community that is decently sized (~30 people) with people constantly online and playing with each other, building with each other and adventuring with each other. I would also love to play on a server that accepts pranking, since that is one of my favourite aspects of watching the Mindcrack server, and I would really like to experience that myself with no restrictions (of course other than the rules which are no tnt, lava, fire, etc, basically the rules that the mindcrack server has) I would also like to play a server which is on 100% vanilla. Most of the servers I played on before were semi-vanilla, withg plugins like sethome and things that make the game too boring such as keepinventory turned on, which basically ruins the fun for me really, so a pure vanilla server would be a godsend for me and I would really love to play on one. Lastly, I would really love to play on a server with NaturalRegeneration turned off. I haven't experienced that on a multiplayer server before, and I would really like to play on a server with it, since I have always heard people saying how fun it is, therefor I want to join this server as it has natural regeneration turned off, which will certainly change the game a lot and make it a lot more fun for me.
What is your forte in minecraft? -
My main forte in Minecraft would be.. I would say it is PVP really, because I'm always winning survival game and walls fights that my friends and I organise about once a week, and also I play on Hypixel's server often, and win rounds on blitz survival games and the walls most of the time (Please don't take this as bragging, I really am stating my best forte in Minecraft). However, other then that on a server like this, I would say my forte would be dealing with redstone. I only say that because I'm really not extremely good in any aspect really. My building skills are no BdoubleO or Keralis, and my interior decoration is no Vintagebeef. My redstone skills are also no Etho or GenerikB. However, I feel that if I compare all aspects of vanilla survival, I would say that redstone would be the area that I am best at relative to all the other areas of Minecraft. I love to make things with pistons, especially piston doors, drawbridges etc which involve some redstone mechanisms.
How often will you be online? -
On weekends. I'll usually be online for at least 3 hours, maybe not in a row, but it will definitely add up to around 3 hours. On weekdays, I will be online for about 1 to 2 hours. These numbers will also be affected by what time of the year is it. During exam seasons (because I'm still a student), my online times will be significantly shorter, maybe on weekdays I will barely play at all and weekends will be 1 hour plus only. During holiday season though, I will be online much more often (such as now) since I have the whole day to play. Of course I will play other games as well, but I will be online a lot more compared to regular school days.
Any questions? -
I have 2 questions. Firstly, is there a limit to how big of a scale a prank can be? For example, are pranks only allowed to be small to medium scale like VintageBeef had on his very first episode of his Prank Wars series, where there were noteblocks being played underneath his house, or are pranks allowed to be massive, such as that when Team Canada on the Mindcrack server pranked Guude by creating a mushroom cloud above his house, because that one is really massive, so I'm using that to show the other extreme, which is really huge pranks. So again, the main question is, what is the scale that a prank is allowed to be? Small-medium or anything the pranker wants (really insane stuff)
My second question is, is there a world limit? Is there a limit to where we can travel up to to have our builds? I ask this because on previous servers that I play on, there usually are and it causes a lot of overcrowding on the server since everyone is squeezed in a relatively small area.
Additional info -
I may have mentioned this before, but I'm kind of an introvert, but I'm not the type who doesn't speak at all. I will speak to people and will open up to people once I am used to their company, which usually does not take that long at all. My favourite game of all time is GrandChase. Favourite food of all time is pasta. Favourite colour is Yellow, and of course, favourite block in-game is definitely smooth sandstone just because of how clean it is and how useful it is in so many different types of buildings.
Thanks for taking the time to read my application. I hope what I have written is sufficient and I'm looking forward to your response. Thanks again.
Wow, what a read! This completely tops the rest of the apps I've seen submitted thus far. Not to mention you are from Singapore. I know that English is (one of) Signapore's official language, but I have no idea if it is your main language. If not...extra props! Expect a PM from me shortly.
My name is Daniel but feel free to call me Dan or simply just Frosty. After reading through the original post and a handful of applications, I decided to write my own story in hope of getting accepted.
I would like to start of with a little bit about myself because I think that should be one of the first aspects of any application. It is almost like a job application where you have to be face to face with a person you know nothing about it. I'm talking about first impressions. I will of course attach all of your questions that I haven't answered (below) in a spoiler so that my post wont be enormous.
Alright so as I said earlier my name is Daniel but I prefer Dan or Frosty. I'm currently 16 years of age and I live in Hungary. Being in a good and friendly community is one of my main focuses. As you could probably figure it out by now english is not my native language but I try my best at it. All that I know right now is mainly from playing videogames. An activity that I've been doing since I was 9 or maybe 10 years old.
I came across Minecraft in 2010 while searching for sandbox games. Now because of that, I have started playing in early development, at the InDev stage. I have aquired a lot of knowledge about the game and its mechanics and community.
Putting videogames aside I have always been a sort of "creative" person because I like to express myself in all sorts of media that is considered art. In my free time I like to draw, play around with music, write and read novels. I'm interested in a lot of things at the same time and because of this there were times where I would just sit in front of my computer drawing in photoshop and in the meantime programming smaller applications. Since then, I have aquired a good amount of knowledge about music production, software development, editing (Ps and Ae mostly). I'd I am anopen-minded person but sometimes I do follow my own sort of fashion that I'm familiar with. I would like to continue my studies in regards of the above mentioned hobbies. This is why I'm always eager to find out new information about anything really. Creativity, out of the ordinary, calm but also excited and homurous would describe me the best!..Now onto the actual application:
My Application:
Details about me:
My Skype is tmfdani.This is the easiest way of reaching me because I'm almost all of the time online. I may be away from my computer but I try to respond as quickly as I can most of the time.
The country that I live in is called Hungary. Many people misread it and say "hungry" and there are people who do not even know about its existence.. actually I don't blame them.
I have not been banned from any servers that I played on so far.
I have played on other public servers before. I quit 2 of them because those servers became crowded and new players were appearing and disappearing almost every week. A smaller but consistent community is a better community in my opinion.
The reason I would like to join the server is because I always prefered smaller servers with a better community than those with hundreds of players. The original post gave me the idea of a good and friendly environment wherer I would gladly spend my time relaxing, talking or playing with others.
Building would be the part of the game I excel in. Building in Minecraft is always a major part for me. I really hate it when people do not put effort in their creations. I respect the buildings of other people but if it isn't really a beauty I always like to help out if the other person agrees.
Once I get comfortable with the player base of a server and I find the time that I spend playing on the server worth doing, I try to be online every day for more than 2 or 3hours but as I said it really depends on wether I find the joy playing on the server or not Hopefully I will because the original post got me pumped!
Last but not least I have only 1 question that I couldn't find in the description. Does the server have a chat or teamspeak or group call or anything where players can easily talk to each other?
EDIT: A quick edit. I accidently forgot to include my weaknesses. One of them would probably would be the fact I can get emotional easily. Sometimes for the better but other times it's not that good. My other weakness would be the fact that sometimes I just can't stop. Mostly when it comes to building. I always like to make it as detailed as possible and because of this most of the time I can not say that my creation is finished.
Alright I think that is enough of me for now. Please, feel free to contact me here or on Skype if I left certain information out of my application! I hope my post wasn't too long but rather to your liking and I'm eagerly waiting for your answer!
Also quickly just as a side-note I now my application wasn't all colorful and fancy but I wanted to keep it nice, organized and subtle and also comfortable for the eye to read.
~Frosty/Dan
You got really creative with your app! I like it! You also get Bonus points since english is not your main language. I find it funny that even though English isn't your main language...you wrote an app better than most others. Also expect a PM from me soon.
Tell a bit about yourself - i am a avid minecraft player who likes big build and i play too much!
How long have you been playing minecraft? - since alpha version
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it -i think i got banned from a hunger games server for complaining about a hacker then the hacker banned me:/
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? - I made my own mindcrack style server and had to stop it because of money issues.
Why would you like to join the server? -Because i want to join a server that has a friendly people on that we can all build together and make a big communal world:P
What is your forte in minecraft? - Building castles, spawn areas and big builds that take a lot of time!
Sorry, I didn't mean to jump to conclusions.
I should've realized that sarcasm is hard to detect over the internet, haha.
Waiting is not a problem, friend. It is not a problem. ^^
Hah, I'm usually good at reading sarcasm. But honestly man...some people on the internet.....
I guess my application was so bad you didn't think it needed any feedback or criticism..?
Well, you know what they say about assuming...... If you really want to know, I was on the border with your application, so I figured I'd wait for the person I usually go over applications with and see what he thinks. Patience, my dear friend.
In-game Name: [i]Sentinel_v[/i] Age: [i]I am 18 years of age.[/i] Gender: [i]Male[/i] Skype: [i]Chaise.r[/i] Country: [i]United States [/i]
Tell a bit about yourself:
[i]I absolutely love Minecraft, on both PC and Xbox360. I am a very experienced builder and I specialize in Medieval builds. Currently, I do not have anything to show at the moment beings my previous server "UnknownDeity" has been shut down in the month I was actually gone. I would love to actually be able to start up another group project, even if I have to start the majority of it on my own! The previous sentence leads me into my next topic... I love doing project builds, in fact, aside from doing the normal let's play or just some type of multi-player game mode(s), I look forward most to the projects that I will be working on in the future. [/i]
[i]I like to think of myself as someone whom is willing to help when he can and when someone is really in need. My background knowledge on the game is fairly good as I have been playing minecraft on PC for about 3 or so years and Xbox360 since it has come out! I am always willing to answer questions, and if I do not know them, I should be able to give you an answer close to the correct one anyways or I will lead you to someone who does! [/i]
[i]I do not claim to be amazing at redstoning, however, given the opportunity to work with it, I can figure out some complex wiring! In most cases I wouldn't recommend you coming to me first for something like this, although, I assure you I wouldn't stop working on it until I got it correct. [/i]
[i]I am not sure there is much more than that! I also do believe I've completed some other answers that I will reiterate in the future, I'm sure.[/i]
How long have you been playing minecraft?:
[i]As stated in the previous answer, I have actually been playing minecraft for roughly 3 years in total this includes both PC and Xbox360 (for Xbox360, I have obviously not been playing that for 3 years because it's only been out for a little more than 1). [/i]
Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it:
[i]I have not been banned, ever. You may do what you can for a background check. I will be clear! [/i]
Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop?:
[i]I have played on many other servers, but the one I was on previously was called "Unknown Deity" as I have stated earlier in the application. I was on that server for it's second season and after, I believe two or so months in, I had to take my computer in to get it fixed as I couldn't do it myself! When I had returned to the game, the server had actually been shut down, however, I still am in contact with the previous owner of that server as well as many of the members who had been on that server with me! If you have any questions related to past servers, I'd love to answer them directly, just let me know![/i]
Why would you like to join the server?:
[i]Well, this is actually a fairly easy, yet complicated answer... I am yet looking for a new server that I can actually settle into with mature members, and hopefully mostly will be adults. Mainly, I would like to be in an environmentally friendly server with very dedicated and respected players. My wish is that eventually I will start up recording on the server and hopefully I will do so soon, obviously if I am admitted into the server.. [/i]
What is your forte in minecraft?:
[i]My forte, hmm.. Well, that's an easy one! My forte would definitely have to be that of building! I absolutely love to build, especially project builds, and most definitely medieval builds! [/i]
[i]Yes, I have already covered this in a previous answer too! Although, to reiterate is never a bad thing![/i]
[i]That pretty much sums that up though![/i]
How often will you be online?:
[i]Well, in all honestly that depends, my schedule I am sure will be changing every so often! I am normally managing about 2-5 hours a day and will hopefully be running about 2-3 YouTube videos a week, if I get into the server and enjoy it there. You can pretty much count on me being an active player if all goes well with the first impression![/i]
Any questions?:
[i]Currently, I do not have any questions.. However, do not think I will not have any in the future![/i]
Additional info:
[i]Well here is a bit about my actual self: I am a full time cook at a sports bar and grille. My name is Chaise I love doing extracurricular activities along side that such as lifting, running, etc. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is obviously I enjoy playing video games! [/i]
[i]I am not quite sure if details need to be applied in anything, however, if you are interested in something and have a question for me, I would love to answer it, unless it crosses that line![/i]
Thanks for reviewing my application, I hope to see you in the server very soon!
[I am not quite sure if I missed something in reading your original post, but if I had... My favorite food is spaghetti and my favorite color is blue. Yes, the bracketed part is edited in!]
A nice app for a change! I was scared at first. I'm glad that you went back and added a bit about your actually self! Adn you almost missed the last part too! Not to mention it looks nice and pretty. Maybe a little bit more about your personality would've been great, but I think I got a fairly sufficient amount! Be expecting a PM from me shortly!

Of course, that can change based on what I'm working on, whether it'd be mining, building, or the likes.
Any questions? - With your strict whitelisting process, how often do you remove members from the community, if any?
Additional info - My favorite food is the classic grilled cheese sandwich, and my favorite color is Black.

I'm running out of witty things to say. It's a disaster! (Hah!Get it?Hah!)
I edited this post as of Sunday October 27th, 4:41 PM, because i felt the original draft was lacking depth.
IGN - anbuagent12 Age - 18(as of 2 days ago, happy belated birthday to me!) Gender - Male Skype - anbuagent12 Country - United States of America Tell a bit about yourself - Well, I am not that exciting a person to tell the truth. I play a lot of PC and PS3, I enjoy playing Magic the Gathering with friends, and I also watch a lot of anime. The thing I probably have most to be proud of is my choir accomplishments. I made all-state in choir two years in a row and am currently the lead in our school musical, 'Thoes Damn Yankies'. I also am a pretty big pokemon fan, you give me a name or a description, and I can give you a description or name respectively. I also do a bit of coding, but don't ask me to do anything with java, still learning. All and all, I am your classic Singing/Acting/Video Gaming/Programing/Card Gaming/Mining/Pokémon Master. How long have you been playing minecraft? - Since i think .5 beta. But i haven't recently played since 1.6 Have you ever been banned? If so, justify it - Once. There was an time on an old server where we were, I thought, moving servers. I thought this would be a good time to let my destructive side have a bit of fun and I blew up the main plaza. Since it was the 1st server I ever joined I was not aware of the more common process of the ability to move maps, so as it turns out, I messed up badly. I was banned with no trial. Do I agree with it? No, but I do see why it happened, so I can't complain. Have you played on any other servers and why did you stop? - I have played on too many servers to count, most of which RP or Survival, and the reasons I stopped are almost as wide as the server list. There was one that was put under new management and I hated it. Another lost funding. My personal favorite was when a server got, "hacked", and it started raining TNT. The most common reason, however, was I got bored. Few things can sustain my interest for too long, but I hope that having a normal game of minecraft with others will change how bored I get Why would you like to join the server? - Well, before I wanted to just enjoy some snow-white vanilla minecraft, but recently, there is another reason. I had a chat with Disaster2k on skype by accident (A long story) and he kind of gave the air of, "I will be kind to you, but I will not BS you in any way. You mess up, I tell it to you." And that reminded me of, actually, me. I never met someone who had that same outlook on the world, and being able to talk with a guy like that every day, well I sure as hell wouldn't mind. What is your forte in minecraft? - A lot of decorating. I know that it's weird to say, but I can't build a house well, but I can make the inside look amazing. I have turned a litteral hole in the ground into a hobbit den using only birch wood, glass, and rugs. There was also a time where I pulled a prank on a guy by inverting every item in his house, by replacing wood with wood of different colors, swapping the wool, and even going as far as to find the closest thing to an opposite that paintings can have and setting them up. Of course i had to end up switching back the wool and paintings, but he apparently liked the Oak wood I used, so I guess it all worked out in the end. How often will you be online? - I should hope every day. Weekdays from about 2:30 to 6, and whenever i am not doing homework on saturdays. I am in my Senior year of highschool so there is almost no homework, but if there is, I will be doing that before I come on, if I can control myself. If i recall, Minecraft is addictive. Any questions? - Just one. Who wants to team up!? Additional info -
My favorite food is Spaghetti and I love the color green.
I honestly don't think you are as old as you say. Not to say I'm absolutely correct, but I'm just not feeling it. Nice...uh....pony....though....

To answer your question: There is no set interval for map resets. I can tell you that they won't be very often, though.
Good thing you included your steam name, too. We have a steam group now for server members.
Expect a PM about the server.

Shadow, I think your app could have been a little better in some places. Maybe writing it at 3 am wasn't the wisest decision. Despite that though, it wasn't bad at all.
Waffle.......Wow. I don't even know what to say. Your application was just amazing.
I believe both of your should have already received messages by now.

Just a slight correction. You don't have to get permission from everyone. Just get permission from people in the video before recording them or posting it to youtube.

To answer your question, players that are absent for around 1-2 weeks get booted. However, if you plan to be gone for long periods of time, just be sure to let me know and you'll be just fine. You should get a PM from me in the near future.To everyone else, I apologize, but you didn't quite make it. If you have any questions why, or just want some feedback or critique, feel free to ask!
