Not everyone is accepted, but I can tell you the reason you were not. It's common sense, you did not provide visual examples of work that you have done in the past.

Builder Application
[spoiler]
Hello my name is mgadrim96 bellow this statement will be my formal application.
[spoiler] IGN: mgadrim96 Name: Michael Gadrim Age: 15 Gender: male Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time ( I live in Florida ) Do you Agree to all the terms and conditions: yes How long have i player Minecraft?: Since the second patch of beta. How many servers have you been on in the past?: At least 10, all of which benefited from my creations. What experience do you have with server?: I have owned 3 servers, all of which i shut down due to i couldn't do what i loved to do, and that is building. I had to spend all my time fixing plugins and solving social issues. Do you work best in groups or by yourself?: I work great in groups as long as the people i work with understand basic building principles. Maturity Level 1-10: 8 Dedication Level 1-10: 9 TeamWork Level 1-10: 8 (if they know what they're doing) Type of Builder (Redstoneer, City's, Aircraft, Landscaping, Other (Please specify)): Truly im everything but redstone. I can build huge airships with excellent detail, as well as landscaping. But above all i love city planning. My pictures will show my building skill. Why do you want to join the team: Because i want to be apart of a server that has the will and power to go to the top. I'm tired of servers that just die out because of laziness. Notes:
- I do have Skype, Ventrilio, Teamspeak, Raidcall, and i do speak quite often in regular chat. If need be i can get any other program.
- I'm very good at building in a RPG them but i can build just as good in a creative theme.
- I know very basic redstone. What role would i like: Builder or Terraformer Why: Because unlike most i study to build good, and above all things i believe in detail before size.
I would like to terraform though because i love to build my own enviroments, but what ever you need me to build i can do. More Notes: If youd like to test my buildings skill then simply assign me a small plot of your choice and ill building you anything you want inside of that space. (building wise) By the way im decent at redstone but im no master at it.
[/spoiler]
Pictures:
[spoiler]
-This is the entrance to a city i designed. Never got to finishing it because the admins of the server said that they were leaving. Note that all this was built by me.
-This is the backside of the entrance. The garden you see was hand designed by me, and the trees are of my original design (from what i know of).
- This is a train station. The glass shots that are held in place by the wood brackets are shots that 1 person can fit into and travel downwards at a fast speed. The flag in the background is my cities flag. This project was also not finished seeing as the admin left and shut off the server with their departure.
- This picture is of a airship i built using the "Better than Wolves" mod. I know that it looks very small and not so good, but i just finished it today so it still has alot of work left.
-This is a small project i did when i was bored. I turned a whole lake to ice and made a snow temple on it. ( i did this when i was bored so yes it may be simple)
and
But sadly the second picture is a bad picture of the sewer i built.
This is a picture of a old Fort that i built. It was based off a winter barbarian theme.
Picture of the entrance to a dungeon i made. Sadly i couldn't find the pictures of the dungeon.
This is the inside of a temple i built.
This is of a airship i build. Based off a steampunk idea.
Old little village i built when i first started building in minecraft.
A very small village. Note this whole village was hand design by me. Even the terrain.
Part of the overall village from above.
Close up picture of the main house from the village above.
[/spoiler]
Things that i think you should know about me:
[spoiler] What i am looking for:
- Some sort of server that is striving to make its server better.
- A active community, if there is not one present then........ "A admin that is avidly recruiting new players to the server."
- Some sort of user group system. ( i dont like greifing)
What i wish to accomplish on the server:
- Teach and help new builders master their building style.
- Last but not least, benefit the server with my creations.
My building style goes like this:
First build a starting point
- then construct a basis for main point of intresest (what i want people to see first when they see what ive built).
- After that i begin to expand, i branch off the original design.
Rules to my building sytle:
One- Never use obasidian, tnt, diamond blocks, iron blocks, or gold blocks.
Two- Always focus on detail, never focus on the size of the project.
Three- At least try to implement one if not two moving elements. (water, pistons, or lava.)
Four- Never ever build a flat walled surface. As in building a house with no details on the sides.
Plugins i know how to use:
-Permissions
-LWC
-Citizens (to a extent)
-World edit
-Voxel Sniper
I know quite a few more but im not sure if they've gone into inactivity. Plus many many more.
Skills i bring to the table:
- Skin edit. I can make the server some skins if need be.
- Server Administration skills.
- Contacts that are very good at redstone.
- Fraps, so yes i can record but i do not edit, someone else would have to do that.
- Forum post coding skills. (as in this post Im making now, i could code to look very nice and have all kinds of cool features. So if you wish i can code your forum post.
- Active member of a community once people get to know me.
Moderator Application
[spoiler]
Seeing as I have decided to make this my main goal and target (to benefit the server) i wish to apply for the mod status. Note that i am ok if you wish to over look this, i simply do this so that if you need someone on Eastern Standard time and has previous skill with administrating a server i can. My app will be bellow in a spoiler box. It is hand made there was no designated template i followed.
Formal Application:
[spoiler] Name:My name is mgadrim96 and my full/real name is Michael Gadrim.
Why am i applying?:I am applying for the Moderator status because i wish to benefit this server by rooting out mean players, and potential greifers. I also wish to benefit the players by nicely correcting them if they begin to get to aggressive.
I am 15 years old but i am very rational, and i take pride in my way of determining who's right from wrong.
Why should you pick me?: Well its not a matter of why me, its a matter of who has what you need. If my skills are what you need in a moderator then i may suit you best. But there are many people in Minecraft and each one has a different set of skills, so i may not be the best fit.
How much time can i dedicate to the server?: As much as i can i do have school during the week but i get on Minecraft everyday for 4 hours. On the weekends however I'm on almost all day.
(If you wish for me to answer any questions about my mod app please either pm me or write post a comment and i will fix this app.)
What makes me able to be a mod?: Well I've been a mod on about 3 servers and admin on 4. All of which appreciated me for how much i helped people. I do not get angry at people unless the down right rude to someone. Reason being is this "treat others as you want to be treated." I believe that if someone wants to put them selves in the shoes of a angry person then they should expect others to do the same to defend there friend. So with that said i will be calm and collective until the point when the person loses all reasoning and takes it into his own hands to show anger.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler] Suggestions and Ideas for the servers development:
[spoiler]
General Ideas:
[spoiler] First: would be that i believe "we as a server (even though im not accepted yet) should form a group of people who understand basic economy concepts and create a server specific economy system." For example, minecraft has alot of items that are not used or have a physical use. Such as the ids 34, 36, 104, and 105, and 368 (as i know of). These items can be used as ingame currency so that we can remove a economy plugin to relieve stress on the server. This would also encourage minor pvp so that when someone kills a enemy they have a chance to loot the "currency" off the loot that is dropped. But back to my point, i think we should form a group that will focus on the economy of the server. Plugins should only be used for things that we can not physically implement into the server.
Link to the item ids: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
[/spoiler]
Server specific ideas:
[spoiler]
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
[/spoiler]
Server Player Guide:
[spoiler]
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
[/spoiler]
Plugins for the server:
[spoiler] Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
[/spoiler]
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
[spoiler]
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.

Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
[spoiler]
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.

Chapter one: The Separation
I was laying under the weeping willow in our backyard when it happened. Blaine ,my half brother, and I had been drawing little stick monsters in the dirt with James and his sister Jade. Blaine and I's mom was on a business trip with James and Jade's mom while we were stuck here, alone, in a city full of... wait for it... monsters. James had suggested we go to Maxine and Lynna's house, but Jade didn't like that idea she's a little anti-social and Lynna always made sure she wasn't liked by the short brunette. As soon as we decided against visiting them Maxine was there with Lynna. They started rambling about monsters chasing them, and before we could blink there were monsters all around us. I was pulled into a thrift of monsters with a giant bird looking thing with claws for hands I screamed and sliced at its face. It smirked and said,
"Poor demon, trapped in my grasp, dying slowly." I felt it's grip tighten and heard James or Blaine, I couldn't tell in my state, say,

Examples of work: I recently am out of a Minecraft job, I was a mod for a server that had maybe 50 people on at all time. I was in charge of answering Mod requests dealing with Trolls/Griefers maintaining the professionalism and maturity of the server and any other jobs the higher ups handed me. The reason I don't have the job anymore is that the server was shut down due to personal reasons of the creator.

How long have i player Minecraft?: Since the second patch of beta.
How many servers have you been on in the past?: At least 10, all of which benefited from my creations.
What experience do you have with server?: I have owned 3 servers, all of which i shut down due to i couldn't do what i loved to do, and that is building. I had to spend all my time fixing plugins and solving social issues.
Do you work best in groups or by yourself?: I work great in groups as long as the people i work with understand basic building principles.
Maturity Level 1-10: 8
Dedication Level 1-10: 9
TeamWork Level 1-10: 8 (if they know what they're doing)
Type of Builder (Redstoneer, City's, Aircraft, Landscaping, Other (Please specify)): Truly im everything but redstone. I can build huge airships with excellent detail, as well as landscaping. But above all i love city planning. My pictures will show my building skill.
Why do you want to join the team: Because i want to be apart of a server that has the will and power to go to the top. I'm tired of servers that just die out because of laziness.
Notes:
- I do have Skype, Ventrilio, Teamspeak, Raidcall, and i do speak quite often in regular chat. If need be i can get any other program.
- I'm very good at building in a RPG them but i can build just as good in a creative theme.
- I know very basic redstone.
What role would i like: Builder or Terraformer
Why: Because unlike most i study to build good, and above all things i believe in detail before size.
I would like to terraform though because i love to build my own enviroments, but what ever you need me to build i can do.
More Notes: If youd like to test my buildings skill then simply assign me a small plot of your choice and ill building you anything you want inside of that space. (building wise) By the way im decent at redstone but im no master at it.
[/spoiler]
Pictures:
[spoiler]
-This is the entrance to a city i designed. Never got to finishing it because the admins of the server said that they were leaving. Note that all this was built by me.
-This is the backside of the entrance. The garden you see was hand designed by me, and the trees are of my original design (from what i know of).
- This is a train station. The glass shots that are held in place by the wood brackets are shots that 1 person can fit into and travel downwards at a fast speed. The flag in the background is my cities flag. This project was also not finished seeing as the admin left and shut off the server with their departure.
- This picture is of a airship i built using the "Better than Wolves" mod. I know that it looks very small and not so good, but i just finished it today so it still has alot of work left.
-This is a small project i did when i was bored. I turned a whole lake to ice and made a snow temple on it. ( i did this when i was bored so yes it may be simple)
and
But sadly the second picture is a bad picture of the sewer i built.
This is a picture of a old Fort that i built. It was based off a winter barbarian theme.
Picture of the entrance to a dungeon i made. Sadly i couldn't find the pictures of the dungeon.
This is the inside of a temple i built.
This is of a airship i build. Based off a steampunk idea.
Old little village i built when i first started building in minecraft.
A very small village. Note this whole village was hand design by me. Even the terrain.
Part of the overall village from above.
Close up picture of the main house from the village above.
Small hand designed lake, form the village above.
More pictures that are quite detailed. Detailed pictures using redpower mod.
[/spoiler]
Things that i think you should know about me:
[spoiler]
What i am looking for:
- Some sort of server that is striving to make its server better.
- A active community, if there is not one present then........ "A admin that is avidly recruiting new players to the server."
- Some sort of user group system. ( i dont like greifing)
What i wish to accomplish on the server:
- Teach and help new builders master their building style.
- Last but not least, benefit the server with my creations.
My building style goes like this:
First build a starting point
- then construct a basis for main point of intresest (what i want people to see first when they see what ive built).
- After that i begin to expand, i branch off the original design.
Rules to my building sytle:
One- Never use obasidian, tnt, diamond blocks, iron blocks, or gold blocks.
Two- Always focus on detail, never focus on the size of the project.
Three- At least try to implement one if not two moving elements. (water, pistons, or lava.)
Four- Never ever build a flat walled surface. As in building a house with no details on the sides.
Plugins i know how to use:
-Permissions
-LWC
-Citizens (to a extent)
-World edit
-Voxel Sniper
I know quite a few more but im not sure if they've gone into inactivity. Plus many many more.
Skills i bring to the table:
- Skin edit. I can make the server some skins if need be.
- Server Administration skills.
- Contacts that are very good at redstone.
- Fraps, so yes i can record but i do not edit, someone else would have to do that.
- Forum post coding skills. (as in this post Im making now, i could code to look very nice and have all kinds of cool features. So if you wish i can code your forum post.
- Active member of a community once people get to know me.
Links to my old servers that i used to own:
-MY first RPG server
-Same server different post.

Moderator Application
[spoiler]
Seeing as I have decided to make this my main goal and target (to benefit the server) i wish to apply for the mod status. Note that i am ok if you wish to over look this, i simply do this so that if you need someone on Eastern Standard time and has previous skill with administrating a server i can. My app will be bellow in a spoiler box. It is hand made there was no designated template i followed.
Formal Application:
[spoiler]
Name:My name is mgadrim96 and my full/real name is Michael Gadrim.
Why am i applying?:I am applying for the Moderator status because i wish to benefit this server by rooting out mean players, and potential greifers. I also wish to benefit the players by nicely correcting them if they begin to get to aggressive.
I am 15 years old but i am very rational, and i take pride in my way of determining who's right from wrong.
Why should you pick me?: Well its not a matter of why me, its a matter of who has what you need. If my skills are what you need in a moderator then i may suit you best. But there are many people in Minecraft and each one has a different set of skills, so i may not be the best fit.
How much time can i dedicate to the server?: As much as i can i do have school during the week but i get on Minecraft everyday for 4 hours. On the weekends however I'm on almost all day.
(If you wish for me to answer any questions about my mod app please either pm me or write post a comment and i will fix this app.)
What makes me able to be a mod?: Well I've been a mod on about 3 servers and admin on 4. All of which appreciated me for how much i helped people. I do not get angry at people unless the down right rude to someone. Reason being is this "treat others as you want to be treated." I believe that if someone wants to put them selves in the shoes of a angry person then they should expect others to do the same to defend there friend. So with that said i will be calm and collective until the point when the person loses all reasoning and takes it into his own hands to show anger.

[/spoiler]
Suggestions and Ideas for the servers development:
[spoiler]
General Ideas:
[spoiler]
First: would be that i believe "we as a server (even though im not accepted yet) should form a group of people who understand basic economy concepts and create a server specific economy system." For example, minecraft has alot of items that are not used or have a physical use. Such as the ids 34, 36, 104, and 105, and 368 (as i know of). These items can be used as ingame currency so that we can remove a economy plugin to relieve stress on the server. This would also encourage minor pvp so that when someone kills a enemy they have a chance to loot the "currency" off the loot that is dropped. But back to my point, i think we should form a group that will focus on the economy of the server. Plugins should only be used for things that we can not physically implement into the server.
Link to the item ids:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
[/spoiler]
Server specific ideas:
[spoiler]
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
[/spoiler]
Server Player Guide:
[spoiler]
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
[/spoiler]
Plugins for the server:
[spoiler]
Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
[/spoiler]
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
[spoiler]
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.

-This is the entrance to a city i designed. Never got to finishing it because the admins of the server said that they were leaving. Note that all this was built by me.
-This is the backside of the entrance. The garden you see was hand designed by me, and the trees are of my original design (from what i know of).
- This is a train station. The glass shots that are held in place by the wood brackets are shots that 1 person can fit into and travel downwards at a fast speed. The flag in the background is my cities flag. This project was also not finished seeing as the admin left and shut off the server with their departure.
- This picture is of a airship i built using the "Better than Wolves" mod. I know that it looks very small and not so good, but i just finished it today so it still has alot of work left.
-This is a small project i did when i was bored. I turned a whole lake to ice and made a snow temple on it. ( i did this when i was bored so yes it may be simple)
and
But sadly the second picture is a bad picture of the sewer i built.
This is a picture of a old Fort that i built. It was based off a winter barbarian theme.
Picture of the entrance to a dungeon i made. Sadly i couldn't find the pictures of the dungeon.
This is the inside of a temple i built.
This is of a airship i build. Based off a steampunk idea.
Old little village i built when i first started building in minecraft.
A very small village. Note this whole village was hand design by me. Even the terrain.
Part of the overall village from above.
Close up picture of the main house from the village above.
Small hand designed lake, form the village above.
More pictures that are quite detailed. Detailed pictures using redpower mod.
Things that i think you should know about me:
What i am looking for:
- Some sort of server that is striving to make its server better.
- A active community, if there is not one present then........ "A admin that is avidly recruiting new players to the server."
- Some sort of user group system. ( i dont like greifing)
What i wish to accomplish on the server:
- Teach and help new builders master their building style.
- Last but not least, benefit the server with my creations.
My building style goes like this:
First build a starting point
- then construct a basis for main point of intresest (what i want people to see first when they see what ive built).
- After that i begin to expand, i branch off the original design.
Rules to my building sytle:
One- Never use obasidian, tnt, diamond blocks, iron blocks, or gold blocks.
Two- Always focus on detail, never focus on the size of the project.
Three- At least try to implement one if not two moving elements. (water, pistons, or lava.)
Four- Never ever build a flat walled surface. As in building a house with no details on the sides.
Plugins i know how to use:
-Permissions
-LWC
-Citizens (to a extent)
-World edit
-Voxel Sniper
I know quite a few more but im not sure if they've gone into inactivity. Plus many many more.
Skills i bring to the table:
- Skin edit. I can make the server some skins if need be.
- Server Administration skills.
- Contacts that are very good at redstone.
- Fraps, so yes i can record but i do not edit, someone else would have to do that.
- Forum post coding skills. (as in this post Im making now, i could code to look very nice and have all kinds of cool features. So if you wish i can code your forum post.
- Active member of a community once people get to know me.
Links to my old servers that i used to own:
-MY first RPG server
-Same server different post.
Moderator Application
Seeing as I have decided to make this my main goal and target (to benefit the server) i wish to apply for the mod status. Note that i am ok if you wish to over look this, i simply do this so that if you need someone on Eastern Standard time and has previous skill with administrating a server i can. My app will be bellow in a spoiler box. It is hand made there was no designated template i followed.
Formal Application:
Name:My name is mgadrim96 and my full/real name is Michael Gadrim.
Why am i applying?:I am applying for the Moderator status because i wish to benefit this server by rooting out mean players, and potential greifers. I also wish to benefit the players by nicely correcting them if they begin to get to aggressive.
I am 15 years old but i am very rational, and i take pride in my way of determining who's right from wrong.
Why should you pick me?: Well its not a matter of why me, its a matter of who has what you need. If my skills are what you need in a moderator then i may suit you best. But there are many people in Minecraft and each one has a different set of skills, so i may not be the best fit.
How much time can i dedicate to the server?: As much as i can i do have school during the week but i get on Minecraft everyday for 4 hours. On the weekends however I'm on almost all day.
(If you wish for me to answer any questions about my mod app please either pm me or write post a comment and i will fix this app.)
What makes me able to be a mod?: Well I've been a mod on about 3 servers and admin on 4. All of which appreciated me for how much i helped people. I do not get angry at people unless the down right rude to someone. Reason being is this "treat others as you want to be treated." I believe that if someone wants to put them selves in the shoes of a angry person then they should expect others to do the same to defend there friend. So with that said i will be calm and collective until the point when the person loses all reasoning and takes it into his own hands to show anger.
Suggestions and Ideas for the servers development:
General Ideas:
First: would be that i believe "we as a server (even though im not accepted yet) should form a group of people who understand basic economy concepts and create a server specific economy system." For example, minecraft has alot of items that are not used or have a physical use. Such as the ids 34, 36, 104, and 105, and 368 (as i know of). These items can be used as ingame currency so that we can remove a economy plugin to relieve stress on the server. This would also encourage minor pvp so that when someone kills a enemy they have a chance to loot the "currency" off the loot that is dropped. But back to my point, i think we should form a group that will focus on the economy of the server. Plugins should only be used for things that we can not physically implement into the server.
Link to the item ids:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/images/8/8c/DataValuesBeta.png
Secondly: is that a youtube channel for our server should be created. This channel will hold things like tutorials, lore of the server, trailers, update notes, and misc. things.
Server specific ideas:
Patches: Have you played any mmorpg? Have you noticed they release patches to keep the game interesting. We can do the same! Well simply build a new expansion or a world event and set it lose. This will keep players entertained and always busy with something to do.
Server holidays: In World of Warcraft, Brewfest is a time of beer drinking fun. We should create holidays such as this. I will keep people in the role playing mode. Plus it'll influence friendship and co-op between players. Which in-turn creates a sense of a good community.
A system of money exchange: On the server webpage we should create a section were you can buy special items. Since 1.9 is coming out soon potions will become a big thing. The ingredients will be even more valuable. I know of a plugin that takes a code such as this "15357995" (a product code) and when the player enters it the code is deleted and the item for the code is handed to he/she. You obtain the code by donating/paying on the website. Prices could go like this:
- 5 high tier potion = $1
- 1 Bundle of assorted herbs (20 assorted herbs) = $2
This is just a example many things can be sold this way. Plus the server will benefit from this money.
For ease of access the plugin i advise to do this with is: BuyCraft(but this can also be done manually if wanted)
Reputation points: This is a point system that will determine the active players from the none active. If you complete a quest on the server you can earn Reputation points with your element. These points can then be exchanged for titles. The titles can be implemented with a chat plugin by using the prefixes. This will give people a sense of connection with their element.
World Events: This is a event that effects the lore and direction of the RPG. These should occur at least 1 or every 2 months. This will keep people entertained. Plus there could be quests for these events and the quests will pass out World Events points. Which can be turned in for special items and titles.
World Competitions: This is a competition that the whole world can compete in. for example a fishing contest ( i think fishing is possible on server, i don't remember). Everyone will fish around the world and who ever has the most fish win. This would also encourage minor pvp because if someone runs across a enemy they could kill them and steal there fish. The winner would win either reputation points with the element or World Event Points im not sure.
World Event Titles: These can be bought with World event points. Same thing a reputation points, there earned by completing the Word event quests. (The only exception to this is that only 1 title can be used at a time.)
Heres some examples of the Titles system.
#1: Gurwulf, Commander of Air
#2: PlatonicForm, Defender of Water
#3: Life Shaper, Eversorgod
#4: Kunamikai the Missionary
#5: mattyuk, Ambassador of Earth
#6: BitCrack, Squire of the Void
Server Player Guide:
This is a idea that most servers don't actually do. Have you ever bought a game and wanted the guide for it to? To find all the cool nick nacks and tricks to the game? Well that's what this guide will do. It will explain the core mechanics of our server, ways to generate supplies that you'll need, details about how to complete quests, maps of the world, a rundown of the lore, ways to get reputation points fast....etc.
May it be noted that if you'd like this to be done, i would not mind making it my main goal for the server.
Plugins for the server:
Pylamo RPG: this allows the use of parties, guilds, and if I'm correct guild achievements. For more detailed info... Pylamo RPG plugin.
Spout: This allows for server mods, such as health bar above players heads, and all kinds of cool things that make up a rpg server. Plus last time i checked its not mandatory if you don't want it, but you do want to play on the server. Spout, a Minecraft server mod manager.
LoreTime: Creates time and dates for the server. So if you login itll tell you time time and date to what every you set it as.LoreTime. Time and Date plugin.
MyTitles4, and MyTitles3: This plugin allows for a more interactive title management system.MyTitles4, and MyTitles3
mmoMinecraft Suit: This is a collection of plugins that use the Spout mod to make minecraft feel like a true role playing game. It included easy to use chat channels, i visible party system (not a party system that uses the chat box), and a whole lot more. These plugins are also very good to have because they only work for people with the spout mod downloaded. so if someone just wants to play on the server without the mod they can. but if they want to get into heavy role playing, they have the choice. These plugins in the mmoMinecraft Suit are all extentions of the spout mod. mmoMinecraft Suite, a collection of RPG plugins.
Death and Rebirth: This plugin allows for a more role playing death experience. When you die instead of coming back to life you become a ghost. When in ghost form you either have to be resurrected or you have to travel to a shrine. This is very useful when it comes to a rpg feel. Please do read the page, i may have described this horribly. This is also a extension of the spout mod. Death and Rebirth
BuyCraft: This is for the idea of a system of money exchange. So that if you buy something from the website, this will automatically handle the transaction and hand the buyer what he needs without you having to do anything.BuyCraft
SpoutTrade: This adds in a visual UI for trading. So instead of dropping items onto the floor to trade, you now get a trade window. SpoutTrade
Redstone Development Center (RDC):
[spoiler]
This will be a place were the redstone will be invented on the server. Instead of just saying redstones on the server, this will make a role playing feel so that the redstone technology has to be invented first before its use. This is not my most favorite idea because it will be hard to manage what people can and cant build with redstone.

1-2 Paragraph of a story/article you've made:
I was laying under the weeping willow in our backyard when it happened. Blaine ,my half brother, and I had been drawing little stick monsters in the dirt with James and his sister Jade. Blaine and I's mom was on a business trip with James and Jade's mom while we were stuck here, alone, in a city full of... wait for it... monsters. James had suggested we go to Maxine and Lynna's house, but Jade didn't like that idea she's a little anti-social and Lynna always made sure she wasn't liked by the short brunette. As soon as we decided against visiting them Maxine was there with Lynna. They started rambling about monsters chasing them, and before we could blink there were monsters all around us. I was pulled into a thrift of monsters with a giant bird looking thing with claws for hands I screamed and sliced at its face. It smirked and said,
"Poor demon, trapped in my grasp, dying slowly." I felt it's grip tighten and heard James or Blaine, I couldn't tell in my state, say,
"Hamina!" before I passed out but it didn't feel like I had passed out it felt like I had died.
