MINECRAZE is a newly established server located in San Jose, CA currently capable of handling up to 64 slots.
Our main goals are:
Build an active and friendly community. Trolls, whiners, griefers, and trouble-makers will not be tolerated.
Server performance and stability. No lag and 24/7 uptime.
Provide both hardcore PVP and non-PVP options for all players (via designated regions or worlds)
Keeping us up to date with the latest and greatest plugins. We are particularly interested in implementing Spout and making full use of its features and abilities.
We are currently not open to the public, and don't expect to be until the new Adventure Update ( version 1.8 ) is released so we can generate a fresh map with the new features. We have a list of plugins that we plan to implement but will also have to wait to see which ones will be updated and compatible with the new version. In the meantime there is a lot of preparation to do, such as building our website, planning server infrastructure, and finding some people to fill staff roles.
If this sounds interesting to you and you want to apply for a position on our staff as a moderator then keep reading.
What we expect from our staff:
Dedication, Patience and Maturity. We are serious about building an awesome community and top notch server. We are looking for people who share our ambition and enthusiasm. Being a staff member at MINECRAZE isn't just about getting special perks or enforcing the rules. While that's part of it, our main job is to ensure everyone is having a good time. This might mean stopping in the middle of something your doing to help another player, or going out of your way to make someone new feel welcome. While we don't expect our staff to cater to every whim and desire a player might have, we do at least expect you to handle every request with maturity.
What we don't expect from our staff:
Abusing your power. Doing so can result in losing your rank, privileges, and even a permanent ban from the server. I can't stress enough how serious we take this issue.
Do you still think you have what it takes to be a part of our staff? If so please fill out the following application:
Application Be sure to read everything above before continuing.
Have you ever been on staff at another SMP Minecraft server?
If so, what did you do there and why did you leave?
How many hours a week do you play Minecraft?
What hours of the day are you typically playing? (Please include your location / timezone)
Why do you think you we should consider you as a member of our staff?
Scenario: It's typically against our policy to spawn items for players. Knowing this how would you respond to the following request from one of our members:
clumsieguy224: I just fell in lava and lost all my stuff!!!! I had iron, gold, diamonds, all gone!!!! I spent 2 hours collecting it all. :sad.gif: Do you think you could help me? Maybe replace some of my stuff please??!!!
Note: I made a few changes and you are no longer required to message me with your application. You can post it here or in the forums on our website. If you have any questions feel free to ask away I'd be happy to answer them.
It would also be useful if you could mention any technical skills that you have as well. Having people that know how to administer a server and use and/or suggest various popular plugins would be very helpful. = )
So far most of the applicants don't really fit what we are looking for, we did however find a couple gems so I'm going to continue to accept some more applications in hopes that we can find maybe one or two more. I made some changes above and no longer require people to message me directly, you can just post the app in here or on our forums
Im posting an application on the designated thread on your website right now. I thank you for your consideration in the application process and hope I fit the desired requirements for the positions that you have open.
Have you ever been on staff at another SMP Minecraft server?
Yes I was an admin on one server and a moderator on another.
If so, what did you do there and why did you leave?
I helped any new players that would join and I also helped with giant builds. I left because I had stopped playing minecraft for a long time but now I am starting to play like I used to.
How many hours a week do you play Minecraft?
I play minecraft about around 6-8 hours a week.
What hours of the day are you typically playing? (Please include your location / timezone)
I typically play after 2 (EST) during the week and past noon and the weekends.
Why do you think you we should consider you as a member of our staff?
I am a loyal, considerate, and trustworthy person and I would be honored to work for your server.
Scenario: It's typically against our policy to spawn items for players. Knowing this how would you respond to the following request from one of our members:
I would first ask for an approximate on what s/he was holding and then ask any other moderators/admins of a higher rank if I should give them at least a portion of what they had.
