I'm can't review your request, but I can give you some tips. First off, YOUR ANSWERS ARE WAAAAAY TO SHORT, they said 60 to 90 words! So maybe add some new more info and stretch some sentences out! Also, it is kind of hard to tell apart answers, just space them out a little! They like it when you have about a sentence for each random fact so buff them up a bit. Everything else looks fine to me, but you still have lots of work to do.

(or maybe you will just get super lucky...)
While I don't have time to write a full review for either of you right now, Herocrafter, please refrain from doing them for us. You've already been borderline-spamming. Citizen reviews are something that happens, but are done by our trusted players, and considering you're not exactly on our best side right now, I would stop.
2. I saw this server on YouTube, and I was interested in checking it out. I've had little experience with modded servers, but Gulliver has been a favorite of mine.
3. Well, I prefer to work under the belief that cooler heads prevail. I'm slow to anger, but I do tend to hold a grudge. Normally, however, I'm the mediator whenever any of my friends get a little hot-headed. Also, I'm always building something when playing Minecraft. I like to think that any build can always be made better, I love pushing my creations to make grander designs.
4. uh...I guess i'll just tab/number these:
1. I'm a BFA Acting major, but am considering changing that to a Game Design major.
2. I used to actually play on this server years ago, under the name GrimRipper96. Due to health issues and my ADHD going unchecked, I came to blows with Ciabatta. I've since worked those problems out, and am hoping she is willing to at least consider letting me back in.
3. I'm currently trying to play SMITE, a 3rd-person MOBA, professionally. That being said, I might not even be on this server very often.
4. I'm an avid fan of One Piece, as I have all 74 available books on my shelves.
5. I have a girlfriend who used to also suffer from a severe case of ADHD, but we've both worked through our problems together.
5. My favorite right was: You have the right to a brief tour of the spawn city of Spawnington. I enjoy this for two reasons. 1. I like to know the area so I can know my way around before settling down. and 2. I'd like to know how much has changed since last time.
2. I like the gulivermod a lot and i want to play it with others
3. I like to game and im good with animals
4, 1. i dont cuss at all
2. i suck at pvp XD
3.i like cats
4,i have blue eyes XD
5 finnally i like madden
5 With good behavior, you have the right to onetime introductory bread and cheese
I like cause i love cheese C:
6. its cheese (YUMMY :DDDDDD)
Please go back to the first page of this thread and follow Cia's instructions carefully. ^^; Sorry to say, since this application is lacking way too much effort... Like I've mentioned before to other players, go back and read some of our passing applications if that helps, it'll give you a gist of how you should set out your application, aswell as including more detail, and appropriate facts.
1. My IGN is herocrafter1 and to answer your question, me and VoxelHero were just messing around and having some fun.
2. I would like to join this server because I love to roleplay with other people and I watched the trailer for this server and it seemed very friendly and funny. Also, VoxelHero told me how to get the Gulliver mod so I wanted to play around with him on this server along with other people. (Also, when he leaves does not mean I will leave and I will get on even when he is not on )
3. I am very good at building houses and other buildings, I once even built a spawn point for an admin! I am pretty good with redstone and making piston doors. I also know how to make basic commands such as setblock, summoning, and tp. I also know a lot on how to position armor stands. Not to brag or anything but I think I am good at being fair to people.
4. Some hobbies I have are:
-I like drawing pictures. The pictures I draw are usually of characters from video games or I just make up stuff.
-I like to write comics. I make comics about a character named Anthon that I made up and he goes on adventures in Mazakala.
-I like to play video games. The video games I play are old styled, pixelated, and storytelling. I really only play kid friendly.
-I like to make basic video games. I love to make basic video games on a website called Sploder. They (like my comics) are about Anthon and his adventures in Mazakala.
-I like to build things in real life. I think getting outside and nailing some wood together to make something is fun. I once made my own lemonade stand!
5. My favorite is "Please refrain from stealing from another player's property." because I don't like losing my stuff!

Hello Herocrafter,
Hannah was in the process of writing your final review, but had other business to attend to so I agreed to finish this for her. While I appreciate a cute ASCII art of Annoying Dog, the premise in which it was done was not very reassuring as you were essentially trying to coerce your way in here. The follow-up “citizen’s review” wasn’t very helpful either -- when someone writes one of these without checking with us first, it’s a sure sign that the person is desperate or trying to seek attention in some way. Both of these follow-up incidents have the potential to jeopardize your impression of us before we even get to your app review, but we’ll see if perhaps there is something in your application that can help salvage these mistakes.
QUESTION 1:
Well, I suppose that’s a sufficient answer. I don’t really know what to say about this - how this is fun, I’m not sure, but whatever you want.
QUESTION 2:
Thanks for reviewing the trailer -- although it is a bit light on detail, you seem to favour the humour and roleplay. Granted roleplay isn’t the main aspect of our server (unless you count playing around as a Minecraft avatar), but it does happen often enough to be fun for someone with an interest in RP. We certainly have LOTS of roleplaying sets. Also humour is pretty wild here too, although granted that’s after you pass this initial application process -- during the process itself, you have to be semi-serious (unless your style of humour is subtle enough to work).
The other half of your reason is essentially because your friend is here; VoxelHero is rarely here anymore, but he’s been whitelisted for a while so there shouldn’t be any restrictions left on having you join as well. I do wish he had helped with your initial application as it’s partly the responsibility of our current players to inform their friends about the nuances of our application. In any case, it’s reassuring to know that you will act independently… we’ve had instances where a lot of effort is used to whitelist “friends”, and then they all decide to leave collectively, resulting in a huge waste of time and a clogged up whitelist.
QUESTION 3:
Err… How is this relevant, again? You’re not going to be using commands, not to mention setblock and summon aren’t even in 1.6.4. Armour stands don’t exist in 1.6 either. So, cutting this out, your answer adds up to: 46 words.
To your credit, building is a fine skill to have, especially on our server (Many of us enjoy building, if not most), and being fair to people is fine too - but that’s still not a whole lot of content to your answer, not to mention how uninspired it sounds.
QUESTION 4:
a> Oh nice -- we have a few artists on our server. If you visited our main forum (not this one), you could check out our artist thread.
b> Oh very nice! Granted this is sort of related to your first fact so it’s repeating a bit, but its nice to have some more comic artists.
c> Well that describes almost all the players on the server, but it’s nice to see people appreciate a more vintage style.
d> Hmmm, now this is pushing it since you’re basically repeating B and C above. But well, we don’t have that many game designers so it’s interesting at least.
e> Oooh, now THAT is really cool fact! We like players who like to get their hands dirty with offline projects! Wish you could have listed more like this!
QUESTION 5:
Still correct.
QUESTION 6:
And correct.
VERDICT:
Well, had you not made any unnecessary posts after initial post, not only would we have gotten to this review faster, but you probably would have been whitelisted by now as well. This is not a great app and I’d be hard-pressed to call it a good app -- your question 2, question 3 and parts of question 4 are lacking. But overall it seems to cover enough bases to let you in here on pure technical merit, even if it’s not a very inspiring app.
But we have to take into consideration all the spam posts after your application, and how that has made you look impatient, reckless and irresponsible. With that in mind, we’ll need you to do your best to produce a perfect application that takes all my feedback above, and adds a few more interesting facts in Question 4. If you can accomplish that… WITHOUT any unnecessary posts (that includes single posts to say “okay”!), then I think you’ll be able to join us.
2. I like the gulivermod a lot and i want to play it with others
3. I like to game and im good with animals

Moonwolf, I’m sorry to say but since you haven’t taken any of Hannah’s feedback into account, I don’t think it will be necessary to review your app since it’s pretty clear it is not going to get accepted at all. You’ll best be served looking for another Gulliver server that is easier to get into, we may be a little too hard for what you’re looking for.
2. I LOVE the Gulliver mod, so I think it would be great to join the server!
3. Well, i have a lot of talents on the mini size, and i love helping people!
4. I read the Gulliver book, so, yeah! * My dream is to be small! About 2 cm tall... * I've always wanted to be picked up by someone taller than me. * I eat donuts every day. * I live in the UK!
5. Favorite right: "If Tiny, you have the right to carve a home within Spawnington, its sewers, or its various hovels, so
long as the outward appearance of the aforementioned structures are not altered."
2. The reason I would like to join this server is because it seems like an interesting way to try out new mods and meet some new people. The server and its forum seems like a good community as well as an interesting use of the Gulliver mod. Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the server since I’ve only heard about it quite recently, but I am familiar with the Gulliver mod.
3. As far as contributing to the server goes, I’ll do my best to keep in line with server’s rules as well as being mature and respectful. I don’t intend on being invasive or aggressive to other players and I hope to fit in well with the community. Regarding personality, I suppose I’m ambitious as far as building in minecraft goes.
4.
My favorite movie series is the Lord of the Rings trilogy, especially Fellowship of the Ring.
I’m a massive fan of David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust’s music.
I have a massive interest in history, especially medieval or premodern history.
I’ll eat just about any dish except something that has beans in it, I hate beans.
I enjoy tabletop gaming such as Dungeons and Dragons and the Warhammer franchise.
5. You have the right to a brief tour of the spawn city of Spawnington.
1. IGN: Hey my IGN is LightningVilager just tell you I know how to spell villager it's Minecraft only allows 16 letter's in a name

and my favorite TV show or should I say anime Is Attack On Titan (Humans are against giant humans)
I saw the video credit to whoever made it and it was amazing! lot's of work put into that!

-LightningVilager or just Lightning
Hey, I'm KC and I'll be reviewing your application. Well, you said you'd reapply in a few months, and here we are. Welcome back, then!
Okay.
2. When you say a lot you mean "I have one answer but I'll repeat it multiple times in different ways", right? Because you've only got one reason here. Expand this - there's other Gulliver servers, or why not just play on Singleplayer? Why THIS server, a server with a whitelist that - after skimming over your application - I'm starting to think will be too difficult for you.
3."Super unique"... in... what way... exactly...? Unless you explain more, this adds up to "I don't really know". "Nerdy"- Alright, I guess. Disliking P.E. isn't exactly unusual. Here's an okay answer - making people laugh can be good! Nice of you to tack on "I'm smart" on the end though. (/sarcasm)
4. Here goes.
a. Well, okay. Good enough.
b. Good.
c. Cool, I guess...? Care to elaborate?
d. Good.
e. You seem awfully excited about allergies, but alright.
5. Surprisingly, correct.
6. Also surprisingly correct.
Aaaand... Being 14 isn't an excuse- you're still held to the same standards anyone else would. I'm 14. Other staff are 14. There's been staff younger than 14. By the way- this isn't your first application- if you're trying to trick us, you might want to try harder. You've applied before - it seems to be the only thing you use your account for.
So, things to fix.
Question 2, since you have only one reason listed.
Question 3, since it doesn't really give us much insight on YOU, and basically says "I'm smart and funny!".
And is it okay if I can record video's on this server I would like to do some role-play one's please
Considering how far your application is from being accepted, I wouldn't worry about this yet. Honestly, it would really depend on the exact situation - if everyone is okay and consenting, then it's probably alright.
2. The reason I would like to join this server is because it seems like an interesting way to try out new mods and meet some new people. The server and its forum seems like a good community as well as an interesting use of the Gulliver mod.

Hi there! Apologies for the wait so far, at somepoint tomorrow I'll try and get to your application. Thank you for being so patient.
1) What is your Minecraft username (or "IGN")?[/b]
nintendork101
2) Please explain why you would like to join the Server.[/b]
I love the Gulliver Mod, and enjoy being smaller than everyone else. The perspective is really cool, and it would be nice to be someone's little pet, y'know? I want to join so I can be part of a community that enjoys the same kind of things I do, if you can understand that. All in all, I love the Gulliver's Mod and I love being a tiny :3
3) Please explain how your talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can help contribute positively to our server.[/b]
I'm easily known to be a very silly/sarcastic/ and comedic person. I can make light of any situations, although that can ALSO be my downfall sometimes, lol. Anyway, I always love putting my friends first and will gladly follow any rules if it means that I can have fun with everyone. I am thought of as artistic, so I can build things. And sometimes I can be a little weird too, but I know I can make anything fun and enjoyable for anyone!
4) Please list five random facts about yourself that can help differentiate you from other players.[/b]
-Gamer: I play a wide variety of video games.
-Likes Anime: I love to watch anime.
-Comedic: I can make light of any situation.
-I'm definitely a cat person: I have 3 cats meow.
-I have a bit of experience with coding and graphic design
-I love the concept of shrinking.
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.[/b]
20.With good behaviour, you have the right to onetime introductory bread and cheese
I love this because cheese is the best
6) And finally, to confirm that you read the Big Sister Server Quick Guide please write down the name of the official server currency.[/b]
The currency is cheese.

Hello.... LukewarmKhorneholio. ^^;
So Hannah is taking a sick day, so I'll go ahead and process your application in her place. It is rather small, so it may not take long. ^^
QUESTION 2:
Try out "A NEW MOD", singular. We only have the Gulliver Mod, despite assumptions that we also carry Little Blocks by a lot of people, hopefully you're not in that boat.
Also, saying you're not familiar with this mod is not a good way to garner trust during this whitelist, especially since we do provide multiple ways in which you can become familiar at least with the server appearance, philosophy, players, map, etc. You can review the applications processed for the past couple of pages, visit our forum, read our Creeds, check out our Dynmap, and, of course, watch our official Youtube trailer. If you don't know what you're getting yourself into, chances are we won't be your cup of tea.
And while you're at it, tell us more about your familiarity with the Gulliver Mod. ^^
QUESTION 3:
Ah, this is a good indication that you have not read the Creeds in full, as you would know that we don't actually have any kind of rules (not globally anyway... some towns have their own little edicts), but rather rights and responsibilities. It is their personal responsibility of each player to uphold, enforce and protect said rights and responsibilities to ensure a fun and productive gaming environment for all players. Rules, on the other hand, put the onus on us (over-worked staff members) to enforce all these for you, and that's neither fair to us nor very efficient, and is often why admis in other servers are quick to pull out the ban-hammer if you so much as sneeze. XD
Also, mature people don't need to say they're mature, they already are and prove this through their actions and choice of words. ;P
"Don't intend" is also a very dirty phrase to use, since that implies you COULD behave in a way that is invasive and aggressive, despite not having the intention to. That is irrelevant to us, as from our point of view you would still be invasive and aggressive. It is up to the responsibility of each player to NOT be invasive or aggressive in any way, with only few exceptions (such as those silly PvP games). And don't get me started on that other dirty phrase "I suppose"... that conveys weakness and lack of personal self-confidence. Such a person might not be ambitious as they may lack a clear goal to follow -- "compulsive" might be a better term, as the person may end up over-committing on the supposition of some unnamed obligation, and thus end up getting bored, under-promising, and leaving my server with a big unfinished blight in the land. [which later gets overrun with giant weeds, literally]. XD
QUESTION 4:
- Okay. I did watch those movies (not the Hobbit ones), but I wasn't too big a fan.
- Oh, that singer has gotten something of a cult following I believe. ^^
- Well this is interesting, I'm always glad when people take an interest in history (especially food history, heh). I'd probably have a thing or two to ask about the Byzantines. ^^
- Well that's a half shame... beans could have some benefit with the right preparation (soaking), but it's common for western manufacturers to simply can or process the beans unfermented, and thus leave all their nasty little anti-nutrients intact. The same can be said for other seeds too, however, especially grains and soybeans. XD
- Oh nice... we actually don't have that many table-toppers on the server, so I personally don't now how those work. I'm sure it's fascinating and creative, though. ^^
QUESTION 5:
A very timid choice, but quite indicative of what I've seen so far. ^^
QUESTION 6:
Correct.
VERDICT:
Your application looks fine on a technical level... despite being compact, it strikes all the right length requirements, bullets the question 4, and answers the last two questions correctly. The only reason you can't be whitelisted today is because questions 2 and 3 are oozing with uncertainty and timidity, as well as a lack of drive to look at a little closer at us.
The only reason I don't think ill of you is because your question 4 does show a surprising amount of depth into your character... I get the impression you have quite a lot of personal interests and talents, and are overall not a bad persona -- however, it doesn't seem like you have much in the way of communication skills, so perhaps you're not used to talking about yourself or advertising your potential, or even seeking interest in the workings of others. Therefore, you may say things in ways that are genuinely honest and with a hint of caution, but perhaps a bit TOO honest and TOO cautious, and so you end up portraying yourself in the exact opposite way that you're intending.
You still have another chance to repost a revised application -- if you choose to do so, do me a favour of rereading all my notes for question 2 and 3, and rewrite whole new answers for those in ways that are stronger, more purposeful and a lot more confident. Use that analytical D&D or Warhammer mind of yours to research our server further, and demonstrate to me that you can "read" us well enough to fully understand what we call a "community".
2. Alrighty, so I suppose I want to join the server because the Gulliver mod is one of my favorites and there aren’t many Gulliver servers out there that are still functioning, you know? And unlike most of the other Gulliver servers out there, this one looks like a thriving community that seems pretty welcoming and friendly. A few other reasons I want to join is because I’ve noticed on your forum that there’s an RP element to the server and I’ve got an interest in that kind of stuff, also I’ve been looking around for a dedicated server to go on and yours really caught my attention. Finally, I found out about the server from watching the trailer and then checking out the big sister forum for a bit.
3. Okay so in terms of personality I’d have to say that I’m generally easy-going, understanding, friendly, and generous. I do my best to get along with people and don’t try to alienate others or alienate myself from a group. A sort of general aspiration I have in minecraft servers is that I enjoy doing ambitious building projects and exploring around the server's nooks and crannies. Also as one can probably guess from reading this, I aspire to get along with other people. I don’t care for drama or conflict.
4.
I love reading, my favorite genres are fantasy and sci fi
I’m a massive fan of David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust’s music
I have a massive interest in history
I can’t stand beans
I enjoy tabletop gaming such as Dungeons and Dragons and the Warhammer franchise
5. So after reading through the Novice Creed, I’d have to say the responsibility that caught my attention is #12: “Please be courteous to your fellow players on our server.”

Hrm hrm... so you chose to fix lots of aspects of your original application, but break others. That seems a bit troubling. :/
QUESTION 2:
There you go using another "I suppose" again, which we've already established is not a good word to use when trying to advertise yourself. It's made worse by the use of this "you know?" which seems to imply that your statement is very obvious and I'm somewhat of a dimwit -- only it's not obvious because there are far larger and more interesting servers than ours (including those already on Minecraft 1.8 and 1.9, or with those huge modpacks), and because you still haven't listed what it is about the Gulliver Mod that you like. Here's perhaps a good example of what you meant in your last application about not "intending" to be aggressive... perhaps you didn't intend to sound rude, but it comes off as it. Now you could say I'm being a hypocrite since I wasn't exactly a delightful angel in my last review either -- but my rudeness is purely artificial as a means to test your level of patience, understanding and willingness to follow staff directions. Think of it like an interview at a job or college trying to determine if you're right for the position... in such situations, you're best served NOT trying to treat others as you are treated.
The last bit about the server is much improved, however, so kudos to that... yes there's a big RP element on the server, although there's also a lot of socialization and building going on. The description still seems somewhat distant since it's ample on content but light on details (for example, what about the trailer you liked), but in its current form this is passable.
QUESTION 3:
This section is much improved over the original, I like it very much. I do feel it's a bit offset by the rather abrasive way you started Question 2, however, so I might suggest you redouble your efforts to try to get along well with others and avoid conflict, as you certainly seemed to start off with guns a-blazin' (which is very rare for people to do in applications).
QUESTION 4:
Okay, here is where I'm most upset. I seem to recall asking you to fix your questions 2 and 3 ONLY... instead you chose to not only rewrite your question 4 facts, but do so in a way that makes them WORSE than your original... gone is all the fascinating detail, replaced only with lifeless shells of the original, some of which come off as just a bit lazy or sarcastic (i.e., "I can't stand beans!"). That you ignored my instructions and instead opted to create more work for me strikes me as not the least bit insulting... if this was not your intention, consider thinking through your actions very carefully next time before you dig yourself inside a deeper hole! :/
QUESTION 5:
Again you changed this... admittedly it's better, but as with Question 4, I would have preferred you followed my instructions and left well enough alone, rather than change things for the sake of changing things.
QUESTION 6:
Correct... although given all the above, I wouldn't have been surprised if you changed this to Asparagus. -.-
VERDICT:
Talk about taking one step forward and two steps back. -.-
I am seriously unhappy with this revision, and although I still feel you can get one more chance, I'm having some concerns about whether you can truly get along with us here. True, you appear to have a strong interest in being here, but strong interest alone is irrelevant if you spend time being [unintentionally] snarky and insulting to players and staff.
If you still wish to continue, I suggest you take a step back and rethink your approach to this application. Don't rush it... think, write slowly, carefully and methodically, and above all else FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! Get used to copying and pasting the best elements from your first application as well... I'm not asking you to revise everything about your application, but just the stuff that didn't work.
Take your time, as we will not review any application from you until at least this Saturday.

While I don't have time to write a full review for either of you right now, Herocrafter, please refrain from doing them for us. You've already been borderline-spamming. Citizen reviews are something that happens, but are done by our trusted players, and considering you're not exactly on our best side right now, I would stop.
1. IGN: LichKingGrim
2. I saw this server on YouTube, and I was interested in checking it out. I've had little experience with modded servers, but Gulliver has been a favorite of mine.
3. Well, I prefer to work under the belief that cooler heads prevail. I'm slow to anger, but I do tend to hold a grudge. Normally, however, I'm the mediator whenever any of my friends get a little hot-headed. Also, I'm always building something when playing Minecraft. I like to think that any build can always be made better, I love pushing my creations to make grander designs.
4. uh...I guess i'll just tab/number these:
1. I'm a BFA Acting major, but am considering changing that to a Game Design major.
2. I used to actually play on this server years ago, under the name GrimRipper96. Due to health issues and my ADHD going unchecked, I came to blows with Ciabatta. I've since worked those problems out, and am hoping she is willing to at least consider letting me back in.
3. I'm currently trying to play SMITE, a 3rd-person MOBA, professionally. That being said, I might not even be on this server very often.
4. I'm an avid fan of One Piece, as I have all 74 available books on my shelves.
5. I have a girlfriend who used to also suffer from a severe case of ADHD, but we've both worked through our problems together.
5. My favorite right was: You have the right to a brief tour of the spawn city of Spawnington. I enjoy this for two reasons. 1. I like to know the area so I can know my way around before settling down. and 2. I'd like to know how much has changed since last time.
6. Cheese
Please go back to the first page of this thread and follow Cia's instructions carefully. ^^; Sorry to say, since this application is lacking way too much effort... Like I've mentioned before to other players, go back and read some of our passing applications if that helps, it'll give you a gist of how you should set out your application, aswell as including more detail, and appropriate facts.
Good luck!
Hello Herocrafter,
Hannah was in the process of writing your final review, but had other business to attend to so I agreed to finish this for her. While I appreciate a cute ASCII art of Annoying Dog, the premise in which it was done was not very reassuring as you were essentially trying to coerce your way in here. The follow-up “citizen’s review” wasn’t very helpful either -- when someone writes one of these without checking with us first, it’s a sure sign that the person is desperate or trying to seek attention in some way. Both of these follow-up incidents have the potential to jeopardize your impression of us before we even get to your app review, but we’ll see if perhaps there is something in your application that can help salvage these mistakes.
QUESTION 1:
Well, I suppose that’s a sufficient answer. I don’t really know what to say about this - how this is fun, I’m not sure, but whatever you want.
QUESTION 2:
Thanks for reviewing the trailer -- although it is a bit light on detail, you seem to favour the humour and roleplay. Granted roleplay isn’t the main aspect of our server (unless you count playing around as a Minecraft avatar), but it does happen often enough to be fun for someone with an interest in RP. We certainly have LOTS of roleplaying sets. Also humour is pretty wild here too, although granted that’s after you pass this initial application process -- during the process itself, you have to be semi-serious (unless your style of humour is subtle enough to work).
The other half of your reason is essentially because your friend is here; VoxelHero is rarely here anymore, but he’s been whitelisted for a while so there shouldn’t be any restrictions left on having you join as well. I do wish he had helped with your initial application as it’s partly the responsibility of our current players to inform their friends about the nuances of our application. In any case, it’s reassuring to know that you will act independently… we’ve had instances where a lot of effort is used to whitelist “friends”, and then they all decide to leave collectively, resulting in a huge waste of time and a clogged up whitelist.
QUESTION 3:
Err… How is this relevant, again? You’re not going to be using commands, not to mention setblock and summon aren’t even in 1.6.4. Armour stands don’t exist in 1.6 either. So, cutting this out, your answer adds up to: 46 words.
To your credit, building is a fine skill to have, especially on our server (Many of us enjoy building, if not most), and being fair to people is fine too - but that’s still not a whole lot of content to your answer, not to mention how uninspired it sounds.
QUESTION 4:
a> Oh nice -- we have a few artists on our server. If you visited our main forum (not this one), you could check out our artist thread.
b> Oh very nice! Granted this is sort of related to your first fact so it’s repeating a bit, but its nice to have some more comic artists.
c> Well that describes almost all the players on the server, but it’s nice to see people appreciate a more vintage style.
d> Hmmm, now this is pushing it since you’re basically repeating B and C above. But well, we don’t have that many game designers so it’s interesting at least.
e> Oooh, now THAT is really cool fact! We like players who like to get their hands dirty with offline projects! Wish you could have listed more like this!
QUESTION 5:
Still correct.
QUESTION 6:
And correct.
VERDICT:
Well, had you not made any unnecessary posts after initial post, not only would we have gotten to this review faster, but you probably would have been whitelisted by now as well. This is not a great app and I’d be hard-pressed to call it a good app -- your question 2, question 3 and parts of question 4 are lacking. But overall it seems to cover enough bases to let you in here on pure technical merit, even if it’s not a very inspiring app.
But we have to take into consideration all the spam posts after your application, and how that has made you look impatient, reckless and irresponsible. With that in mind, we’ll need you to do your best to produce a perfect application that takes all my feedback above, and adds a few more interesting facts in Question 4. If you can accomplish that… WITHOUT any unnecessary posts (that includes single posts to say “okay”!), then I think you’ll be able to join us.
Moonwolf, I’m sorry to say but since you haven’t taken any of Hannah’s feedback into account, I don’t think it will be necessary to review your app since it’s pretty clear it is not going to get accepted at all. You’ll best be served looking for another Gulliver server that is easier to get into, we may be a little too hard for what you’re looking for.
Good luck!
1. Bernardo05Craft
2. I LOVE the Gulliver mod, so I think it would be great to join the server!
3. Well, i have a lot of talents on the mini size, and i love helping people!
4. I read the Gulliver book, so, yeah! * My dream is to be small! About 2 cm tall... * I've always wanted to be picked up by someone taller than me. * I eat donuts every day. * I live in the UK!
5. Favorite right: "If Tiny, you have the right to carve a home within Spawnington, its sewers, or its various hovels, so
long as the outward appearance of the aforementioned structures are not altered."
6. Money is cheese!
Oh hi Mighty, welcome back! We haven't seen you in a million years!
You're still whitelisted, so if you want to pay us a brief visit, you can do so at any time. ^^

1. My IGN is GreatKhorneholio
2. The reason I would like to join this server is because it seems like an interesting way to try out new mods and meet some new people. The server and its forum seems like a good community as well as an interesting use of the Gulliver mod. Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the server since I’ve only heard about it quite recently, but I am familiar with the Gulliver mod.
3. As far as contributing to the server goes, I’ll do my best to keep in line with server’s rules as well as being mature and respectful. I don’t intend on being invasive or aggressive to other players and I hope to fit in well with the community. Regarding personality, I suppose I’m ambitious as far as building in minecraft goes.

Hey, I'm KC and I'll be reviewing your application. Well, you said you'd reapply in a few months, and here we are. Welcome back, then!
2. When you say a lot you mean "I have one answer but I'll repeat it multiple times in different ways", right? Because you've only got one reason here. Expand this - there's other Gulliver servers, or why not just play on Singleplayer? Why THIS server, a server with a whitelist that - after skimming over your application - I'm starting to think will be too difficult for you.
3."Super unique"... in... what way... exactly...? Unless you explain more, this adds up to "I don't really know". "Nerdy"- Alright, I guess. Disliking P.E. isn't exactly unusual. Here's an okay answer - making people laugh can be good! Nice of you to tack on "I'm smart" on the end though. (/sarcasm)
4. Here goes.
a. Well, okay. Good enough.
b. Good.
c. Cool, I guess...? Care to elaborate?
d. Good.
e. You seem awfully excited about allergies, but alright.
5. Surprisingly, correct.
6. Also surprisingly correct.
Aaaand... Being 14 isn't an excuse- you're still held to the same standards anyone else would. I'm 14. Other staff are 14. There's been staff younger than 14. By the way- this isn't your first application- if you're trying to trick us, you might want to try harder. You've applied before - it seems to be the only thing you use your account for.
So, things to fix.
Question 2, since you have only one reason listed.
Question 3, since it doesn't really give us much insight on YOU, and basically says "I'm smart and funny!".
Question 4: Elaborate c.
Considering how far your application is from being accepted, I wouldn't worry about this yet. Honestly, it would really depend on the exact situation - if everyone is okay and consenting, then it's probably alright.
-KC
Hi there! Apologies for the wait so far, at somepoint tomorrow I'll try and get to your application. Thank you for being so patient.
1) What is your Minecraft username (or "IGN")?[/b]
nintendork101
2) Please explain why you would like to join the Server.[/b]
I love the Gulliver Mod, and enjoy being smaller than everyone else. The perspective is really cool, and it would be nice to be someone's little pet, y'know? I want to join so I can be part of a community that enjoys the same kind of things I do, if you can understand that. All in all, I love the Gulliver's Mod and I love being a tiny :3
3) Please explain how your talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can help contribute positively to our server.[/b]
I'm easily known to be a very silly/sarcastic/ and comedic person. I can make light of any situations, although that can ALSO be my downfall sometimes, lol. Anyway, I always love putting my friends first and will gladly follow any rules if it means that I can have fun with everyone. I am thought of as artistic, so I can build things. And sometimes I can be a little weird too, but I know I can make anything fun and enjoyable for anyone!
4) Please list five random facts about yourself that can help differentiate you from other players.[/b]
-Gamer: I play a wide variety of video games.
-Likes Anime: I love to watch anime.
-Comedic: I can make light of any situation.
-I'm definitely a cat person: I have 3 cats meow.
-I have a bit of experience with coding and graphic design
20.With good behaviour, you have the right to onetime introductory bread and cheese-I love the concept of shrinking.
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.[/b]
I love this because cheese is the best
6) And finally, to confirm that you read the Big Sister Server Quick Guide please write down the name of the official server currency.[/b]
The currency is cheese.
Hello.... LukewarmKhorneholio. ^^;
So Hannah is taking a sick day, so I'll go ahead and process your application in her place. It is rather small, so it may not take long. ^^
QUESTION 2:
Try out "A NEW MOD", singular. We only have the Gulliver Mod, despite assumptions that we also carry Little Blocks by a lot of people, hopefully you're not in that boat.
Also, saying you're not familiar with this mod is not a good way to garner trust during this whitelist, especially since we do provide multiple ways in which you can become familiar at least with the server appearance, philosophy, players, map, etc. You can review the applications processed for the past couple of pages, visit our forum, read our Creeds, check out our Dynmap, and, of course, watch our official Youtube trailer. If you don't know what you're getting yourself into, chances are we won't be your cup of tea.
And while you're at it, tell us more about your familiarity with the Gulliver Mod. ^^
QUESTION 3:
Ah, this is a good indication that you have not read the Creeds in full, as you would know that we don't actually have any kind of rules (not globally anyway... some towns have their own little edicts), but rather rights and responsibilities. It is their personal responsibility of each player to uphold, enforce and protect said rights and responsibilities to ensure a fun and productive gaming environment for all players. Rules, on the other hand, put the onus on us (over-worked staff members) to enforce all these for you, and that's neither fair to us nor very efficient, and is often why admis in other servers are quick to pull out the ban-hammer if you so much as sneeze. XD
Also, mature people don't need to say they're mature, they already are and prove this through their actions and choice of words. ;P
"Don't intend" is also a very dirty phrase to use, since that implies you COULD behave in a way that is invasive and aggressive, despite not having the intention to. That is irrelevant to us, as from our point of view you would still be invasive and aggressive. It is up to the responsibility of each player to NOT be invasive or aggressive in any way, with only few exceptions (such as those silly PvP games). And don't get me started on that other dirty phrase "I suppose"... that conveys weakness and lack of personal self-confidence. Such a person might not be ambitious as they may lack a clear goal to follow -- "compulsive" might be a better term, as the person may end up over-committing on the supposition of some unnamed obligation, and thus end up getting bored, under-promising, and leaving my server with a big unfinished blight in the land. [which later gets overrun with giant weeds, literally]. XD
QUESTION 4:
- Okay. I did watch those movies (not the Hobbit ones), but I wasn't too big a fan.
- Oh, that singer has gotten something of a cult following I believe. ^^
- Well this is interesting, I'm always glad when people take an interest in history (especially food history, heh). I'd probably have a thing or two to ask about the Byzantines. ^^
- Well that's a half shame... beans could have some benefit with the right preparation (soaking), but it's common for western manufacturers to simply can or process the beans unfermented, and thus leave all their nasty little anti-nutrients intact. The same can be said for other seeds too, however, especially grains and soybeans. XD
- Oh nice... we actually don't have that many table-toppers on the server, so I personally don't now how those work. I'm sure it's fascinating and creative, though. ^^
QUESTION 5:
A very timid choice, but quite indicative of what I've seen so far. ^^
QUESTION 6:
Correct.
VERDICT:
Your application looks fine on a technical level... despite being compact, it strikes all the right length requirements, bullets the question 4, and answers the last two questions correctly. The only reason you can't be whitelisted today is because questions 2 and 3 are oozing with uncertainty and timidity, as well as a lack of drive to look at a little closer at us.
The only reason I don't think ill of you is because your question 4 does show a surprising amount of depth into your character... I get the impression you have quite a lot of personal interests and talents, and are overall not a bad persona -- however, it doesn't seem like you have much in the way of communication skills, so perhaps you're not used to talking about yourself or advertising your potential, or even seeking interest in the workings of others. Therefore, you may say things in ways that are genuinely honest and with a hint of caution, but perhaps a bit TOO honest and TOO cautious, and so you end up portraying yourself in the exact opposite way that you're intending.
You still have another chance to repost a revised application -- if you choose to do so, do me a favour of rereading all my notes for question 2 and 3, and rewrite whole new answers for those in ways that are stronger, more purposeful and a lot more confident. Use that analytical D&D or Warhammer mind of yours to research our server further, and demonstrate to me that you can "read" us well enough to fully understand what we call a "community".
Best of luck to you. ^^

Okay, here we go again. Round two *ding* *ding*
2. Alrighty, so I suppose I want to join the server because the Gulliver mod is one of my favorites and there aren’t many Gulliver servers out there that are still functioning, you know? And unlike most of the other Gulliver servers out there, this one looks like a thriving community that seems pretty welcoming and friendly. A few other reasons I want to join is because I’ve noticed on your forum that there’s an RP element to the server and I’ve got an interest in that kind of stuff, also I’ve been looking around for a dedicated server to go on and yours really caught my attention. Finally, I found out about the server from watching the trailer and then checking out the big sister forum for a bit.
3. Okay so in terms of personality I’d have to say that I’m generally easy-going, understanding, friendly, and generous. I do my best to get along with people and don’t try to alienate others or alienate myself from a group. A sort of general aspiration I have in minecraft servers is that I enjoy doing ambitious building projects and exploring around the server's nooks and crannies. Also as one can probably guess from reading this, I aspire to get along with other people. I don’t care for drama or conflict.
4.
5. So after reading through the Novice Creed, I’d have to say the responsibility that caught my attention is #12: “Please be courteous to your fellow players on our server.”
6. Cheese
Hrm hrm... so you chose to fix lots of aspects of your original application, but break others. That seems a bit troubling. :/
QUESTION 2:
There you go using another "I suppose" again, which we've already established is not a good word to use when trying to advertise yourself. It's made worse by the use of this "you know?" which seems to imply that your statement is very obvious and I'm somewhat of a dimwit -- only it's not obvious because there are far larger and more interesting servers than ours (including those already on Minecraft 1.8 and 1.9, or with those huge modpacks), and because you still haven't listed what it is about the Gulliver Mod that you like. Here's perhaps a good example of what you meant in your last application about not "intending" to be aggressive... perhaps you didn't intend to sound rude, but it comes off as it. Now you could say I'm being a hypocrite since I wasn't exactly a delightful angel in my last review either -- but my rudeness is purely artificial as a means to test your level of patience, understanding and willingness to follow staff directions. Think of it like an interview at a job or college trying to determine if you're right for the position... in such situations, you're best served NOT trying to treat others as you are treated.
The last bit about the server is much improved, however, so kudos to that... yes there's a big RP element on the server, although there's also a lot of socialization and building going on. The description still seems somewhat distant since it's ample on content but light on details (for example, what about the trailer you liked), but in its current form this is passable.
QUESTION 3:
This section is much improved over the original, I like it very much. I do feel it's a bit offset by the rather abrasive way you started Question 2, however, so I might suggest you redouble your efforts to try to get along well with others and avoid conflict, as you certainly seemed to start off with guns a-blazin' (which is very rare for people to do in applications).
QUESTION 4:
Okay, here is where I'm most upset. I seem to recall asking you to fix your questions 2 and 3 ONLY... instead you chose to not only rewrite your question 4 facts, but do so in a way that makes them WORSE than your original... gone is all the fascinating detail, replaced only with lifeless shells of the original, some of which come off as just a bit lazy or sarcastic (i.e., "I can't stand beans!"). That you ignored my instructions and instead opted to create more work for me strikes me as not the least bit insulting... if this was not your intention, consider thinking through your actions very carefully next time before you dig yourself inside a deeper hole! :/
QUESTION 5:
Again you changed this... admittedly it's better, but as with Question 4, I would have preferred you followed my instructions and left well enough alone, rather than change things for the sake of changing things.
QUESTION 6:
Correct... although given all the above, I wouldn't have been surprised if you changed this to Asparagus. -.-
VERDICT:
Talk about taking one step forward and two steps back. -.-
I am seriously unhappy with this revision, and although I still feel you can get one more chance, I'm having some concerns about whether you can truly get along with us here. True, you appear to have a strong interest in being here, but strong interest alone is irrelevant if you spend time being [unintentionally] snarky and insulting to players and staff.
If you still wish to continue, I suggest you take a step back and rethink your approach to this application. Don't rush it... think, write slowly, carefully and methodically, and above all else FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! Get used to copying and pasting the best elements from your first application as well... I'm not asking you to revise everything about your application, but just the stuff that didn't work.

Okey doke, see you again Saturday.
