Okay, that's an improvement.
Our application process may seem a bit stringent, but consider that we have no way to really know if you're trustworthy or not off the bat. Sure, we determine this in-game as well, but to avoid having to clean up after a whole lot of mess, we use the application process as an initial security check of sorts. And as part of the security check, we check to see if the user is willing to follow directions... call it a case of "taking your word for it". ;D
Now then, before I get started with the app review, I can definitely see from the 10 choices you made that A) you want to be tiny (and just about every guy on the server is the same way), and you like to think only of yourself. Coupled with the rest of the review, I get the overall impression that you definitely WANT to be in the server, but you're not interested in doing anything exceptional for it. Not that that's required, but it does mean that you just plan to be a filler player, and it's hard to really get excited about yet another Tiny Filler Player. So keep this in mind if my review sounds a bit bored or testy.
=========
Question #1: Good idea, I will call you "Merman"
Question #2: Typically Gulliver Servers are whitelisted for reasons I shall not discuss here, but I guess could be best described as filtering out the REALLLY bad players (and I don't mean griefers). XD
Even so, when you thought our server was a joke, the first thing you should have done was view our server videos, and review the application process thoroughly -- in all those instances, it would have mentioned the whitelist, and you could have prepared yourself to go through with it instead of leaving it as a last-minute thing. Even so, I hear a whole lot of escapades about your incredulity, your cheese and your Tiny obsession, but surprisingly little about our server itself. Maybe if you realized there are other Gulliver servers lying about (albeit much smaller), and far more "open" to new members than we are, you'd probably be more excited to join them instead. So what really brings you to us? That's really what I'd like to know.
Question #3: Well already you assume giants will be after you, so who knows what crazy ideas are running around in your head.
You also claim as your only talent to share with us your unhealthy obsession with wanting to be small, and who knows what crazy forms that will take once you're in-game, totally psyched by the whole size-changing theme (and if you plan on being anyone's "pet", I will kick you in the shins right here and now).
And the last "talent" -- I would really call it "threat" -- is that you plan to unleash the floodgates of hell, and bring over more friends with your strange obsession that plan to do harm to our players. I mean seriously, what kind of sick, twisted, dunderhead thinks that playing golf with Tiny people, barely capable of defending themselves, can possibly be a good thing?!! You Monster!! ;O
Question #4:
a - and both ironically are responsible for many of our modern ailments, more so wheat than dairy though.
b - its been brought to my attention that there are too many pet "facts", as if you're not really coming up with this on your own, but rather trying to plagiarize off of my own fact list. Normally I wouldnt mind, but given I'm already peeved by your app, this rubs me the wrong way.
c - This is plagiarized off of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Hint... if you plan to be funny, learn to be funny first.
d - Another destructive fact about you... I'm starting to worry you're a sociopath. ;P
e - So would that make you a much older player? If you're young and have crazy obsessions, it's understandable if you can't contain them properly, and we would certainly offer ways to help balance your interests with real-life etiquette. But we're a lot stricter with older players because, quite frankly, you should know better by now. ;(
Question #5: Well this is less relevant given you already answered the 10 question demand, but even so... because you failed to do your research, you haven't a clue of the amount of power a tiny can wield to essentially bring a giant to its knees, even when grabbed. But that's understandable, since all you seem interested in is the size-aspect, not the fun aspect.
Question #6: And correct, but tbh, I don't see expect to see you on the server anytime soon.
Verdict: I'm sorry, but upon rereading this app, I register about a thousand warning signs that indicate to me you will not be good company on our server. If anything, you may be a liability, and not someone I'd want to expose to a server primarily populated with young kids. Unless there's some way to prove me wrong and offer assurances that you will join our server as a civilized and mature individual, your app is rejected in whole.
I cannot assure you that I am a good influence to younger kids, but if it counts, then I should mention that I do have 4 nephews that have a horrible step-father and they love it when I come to visit their mom (my step-sister). Also, if I act uncivilized or immature and someone reports me in, I will leave without a question. I will not try to sugar anything up or anything, but I will try with all my skill and knowledge to act maturely and try to let some of the younger population have an enjoyable experience (besides, being tiny all the time would suck on forethought, so I will see if being massive is fun or not, and if not I will try to be a half-giant Wither-Skeleton King.) That is all I can give you, so if you choose to not accept, I will understand your judgement and move on.

Okay, so long as you undestand that and are willing to keep the peace on our server, then by all means resubmit a new application with the feedback I've offered, and bearing in mind that your replies should be measured and tempered. I won't say you can't have fun here with the size-changing theme, and most of us do, but I definitely want you to be careful in how you do it. You were probably expecting something free and exhilirating like Las Vegas, and we are in fact more like Disney World Orlando... stifling, but still fun and inventive where it counts. I am willing to say your original app was written with a bit of misunderstanding, and knowing better you'll either try again with the proper frame of mind, or simply drop it here and look for those other Gulliver servers I mentioned.

I am meman102 (Not Merman, and not based on that in any way, shape, or form)
Please explain why you would like to join the Server.
I enjoy survival, but this is the first gulliver mod server I have ever found. I never even knew it was multiplayer compatible, but I can imagine the chaos and joy it must bring to many people, and I want to join that population, Survival, minigames, and more with the size changing ability makes the possibilities of entertaining me endless. Also, joining a server is a new chance to meet people who can help you improve and refine your skills and talents in the game.
Please explain how your talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can help contribute positively to our server.
I can help some of the more inexperienced players survive, form groups of tiny people, giants, and normal people in an attempt to bring the community together. I will lead groups to save trapped tiny people and normal humans from giants, and the other way around as well. I have had many good and bad times in my life, in video games or IRL, and I will use those times to create challenging but fun experiences for other players, and test their knowledge of the game.

Hello again Merman,
Well you're a persistent little fella, but at least you know how to take a hint in a positive in useful way. There may be hope for you yet, but we'll see.
Question #1: Haha! Too bad, you're a merman. Always have, always will be.
After all the hardship you've put me through, I demand some form of justification, and a cute mneumonic nickname will do.
Question #2: Ah that's better, we like people who like survival play. Note that although we didn't start off as the first, at this point we're very likely the last remaining large-scale Gulliver server in existence, and one with a signficant degree of value to protect. Don't expect that entry requirements in the other servers were this strict,... for the most part they were far more open and easy than we are. The fact that they had to put up with an enormous influx of bad players may have played a small role in their unsustainability, but that's just conjecture at this point even if it does guide a bit of our actions. And yes, since you mentioned me personally, I did pick up a bit of leadership skills while caroling a game server full of bumbling misfits, lol... at the very least, I'm a bit more shameless at work when it comes to bossing people.
Question #3: Well that's all well in good on paper, but I would caution against being a little "too" proactive, because if other players don't return the same effort as you have, you're more likely to feel hurt and betrayed when you end up alone amidst an entire ocean of laziness. At the very least don't expect me to help in your overreaching "challenging" endeavors, as any attempt to give me more work than I already have will usually lead to a good talking down to or worse. ;P
Bottom line, though, you say you offer nobility and experience, which is a little too radically different from using my Tiny players as golfballs, so I'll have to take that with a grain of salt.
So long as you do this on your own and don't bring over your little buddies (until we're absolutely sure you can be trusted), we'll call this a decent if perhaps exaggereated response.
Question #4:
a - Oh nice,.. the best way to prevent pet points from sounding generic is to supply more detail.
b - That must have been painful.
c - I would disagree, most children forced into early work or who had no semblance of "fun" can still grow up to be well-rounded individuals. But mileage may vary.
d - Okay? Well that's two odd philosophical points that aren't really facts and really don't tell make it clear what you're trying to convey.
e - And that's the third. You could easily have fit these all into a single point saying you like philosophy, but now you've squandered the app. >v>
Question #5: And here's the paradox... if you enjoy philosophical thoughts, you could have picked one of the more philosophical responsibilities and espoused on them further. So by picking a relatively mundane one (what server DOESNT have public gardens), you missed an opportunity to impress.
Question #6: No you're not, you just like to think you are. If you were wise beyond your years, we would have been done with this in a single go rather than the half-dozen times we've had to back-and-forth with your app. And you certainly wouldn't be adding weird philosophical points where they don't belong (with Cheese? seriously?!). If we're all bread, you'd be golden brown on the outside, but a little too doughy on the inside, so back to the oven with you, boy!
Verdict: Admittedly, I had high hopes that you would prove me wrong and wow me with an incredible comeback just like another person a few weeks ago bearing a similar "interest" (and who thus far has proven to be a well-rounded individual). Instead, you replaced some very unnerving aspects with some mildly unnerving aspects, but either way it's still unnerving (think of the concept of putting lipstick on a pig). And since this was in your re-submission, and since I have a hard time believing how genuine your words are, I can't say I would be willing to believe a third attempt.
I'm sorry to say, but I still don't think I can trust you on our server.
Good luck to you finding some of the other ones I mentioned, I think you'll be happier there.
I guess I'll give you your name back after all, Meman.
Im wanting to be whitelisted hes my application and i hope you'll reply quickly..
What is your Minecraft username (or "IGN")?

Please explain how your talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can help contribute positively to our server.
Well, If i had to say anything it'd be my ability to adapt, i'd adapt to many roleplays, i would be big or i would be small (and if needed male or female!) . .

Hello Jake,
Well your application is fairly cut and dry, and reasonably formatted, so at least formatting-wise it seems to be something worth checking out. There may be some issues with the content itself, thought, but that's why the app review process exists... to identify these and see if you're willing to change them.
======
Question #2: Sadly, this is a common reason for wanting to join our server, because we're the only one out there. I never wanted a monopoly on the Gulliver server field precisely because offering casual players no where to go (at least that's very visible) would inevitably lead them to our server which attempts to uphold some reasonably high standards. That means that we end up having to turn away people, including people who figure out how to game the whitelist app, but can't figure out how to weasel their way out of trouble in-game. That being said, I can't say I'm thrilled that that's your only justification for coming here -- that only means that the second a new and free Gulliver server opens up elsewhere, you'll ditch us faster than you can say "WHITELIST-FREE". ;P
Question #3: You were going good when you said you could survive on your own -- many recent whitelistees can't last two minutes being alone by themselves, and desperately cling to any kind of human contact. But then you had to admit you're out of ideas!! Dammit dammit dammit! You might as well paint the word "lazy" on your forehead, I would have at least gotten a good laugh. XD
Question #4:
a - Okay. I've found that a mobile tablet makes a great compromise between traditional paper and digital drawing, in case you want a handdrawing-like experience with an Undo button. Then again, nothing beats the frugality of paper, though.
b - You already said this in Question #3, so this wont count
c - Oh, do you like the theme parks? The movies? The TV shows? The Hayao Miyazaki films licensed by Disney?
d - Well this is kind of related to the drawing one, so they really should be merged.
e - And of course, everyone has a pet fact. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I have a pet fact of my own...
Now if yould have told me that you kept so many animals as part of a volunteer shelter program, that'd be a different story.
Question #5: Well you chose to paraphrase the responsibility instead, but it's not a bad selection actually. This is indeed a big problem, and usually I end up clamping down on fresh whitelistees wanting to bring along their friends and their dogs, typically with horrible applications. Since I still cant fully trust them, it's hard to say whether these are friends or raiding party teammates, so of coursse I get a little edgy.
Question #6: And correct.
Verdict: Well while there are some merits to your application over others I've seen, I can't say I get the vibe that you want to be here by choice. you simply want to be here because there's nowhere else to go, and perhaps even as you're reading this you're probably wondering if it's even worth going through so much "BS" to make it here.
If that's wrong, and you still want to make the effort to get a whitelist, then effort is precisely what you need. Fix up your question #2 and #3, and overhaul your 5 facts to be unique, awesome and interesting. Otherwise, I can assure you you probably won't enjoy it much here. ^^;
I got it working nad this will be my first ever server.... you wouldn't deny me..... Would you? *looks at with puppy dog tears*
Yeah, we kinda would. We're kinda looking for quality over quantity here, so if this is a first ever server AND you get Hulk-angry AND you seem intent on taking the size aspect and roleplay a little too far AND your app is a bit too anemic... then I can tell you know, it's probably best you try to look for one of those hidden Gulliver servers you find on Youtube that will no doubt take you in happily.
But hey, no one can say you didn't try, and sometimes trying is all that matters. Good luck out there! ^^
Also, thank you Cia for at least giving me a 3rd attempt at it, but I have been trying to find those other servers you mentioned, and so far I found one in creative mode, one in Spanish, and no more after than.... I am afraid I must drop the topic for awhile now, unless you can link me to one of those said servers, or give me one of those names. I am real disappointed about the entire case, but it seems that all the Servers that even have Gulliver's mod are links to your server instead. Thank you, once again, for being patient. -meman102 signing out
Edit: I have found 1 whitelist server, not as strict but it'll do.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Some people want to see worlds burn.... I just want to relax and play video games.
Heres the thing...I wont get angry too much.... The only time i get angry...if i got on this server.. is if someone destroys something that took me forever to build... or "spawn" kills me.. Sry if i sounded like i get angry too much; I Really dont cause too much trouble on servers.... Plus Yesterday i got banned from a non-gulliver server for just having 9 gold picks!!And im sorry if i sound a little too demanding and i didn't try to sound like i take roleplay too seriously.... i Just enjoy having fun on modded servers...I'll Try to get into another gulliver server... But im seriously thinking that this server will be a really good server for me...I usually do silly things and get people to laugh.... If you could tell me how i could fix my application i will do my best to fix it..
Alright, here's the new answers:
2: Explain why you would like to join the server
As I said, yea, I like joining servers when trying out mods and this is pretty much the only one. I originally was going to try out on Gunia's server but then it shut down, so I couldn't try out the mod there. There was a link to this, so I wanted to get on here. Whenever I get on servers, I usually play for awhile, and if there is a good community, stay and play. I like servers that you start without items and trying out mods, and this starts off with nothing (as far as I am aware) and it has a mod I want to try out with others!
3. Stuff like skills, personality, talents, etc.
I'm good in Minecraft at things like building. I am average at PVP, but good with a bow. With my personality, I am happy to play with others and like building with people. My goal in the game is usually to build good things, specifically a cool base. Anyways, yea. I like playing and teaming up with other people while playing games. As I already said, I have played since 1.2.5. I played on a different computer than I have now, but that computer stopped working (It was really old) and all my worlds got deleted.
4. Five facts
Here are the five facts:
1. About my pets
Yea, more info about my pets. So, we have 2 dogs, a Siberian Husky and Pomchi (Pomeranian Chihuahua). We have outdoor cats, as I said. We have a bunch and I didn't feel like counting them to find out how many . Here's the story with the cats: About 6-7 years ago, we only had a few cats, all outdoor. We got a new cat, black and white, and after a bit, she had kittens. Eventually her kittens grew up, and the girls had more kittens! Now we have a bunch. We always try to give the kittens away to other families for pets, because we have a ton. Right now we have 9 kittens! My sisters made a list of all the cats we have had and haven't finished, and we have had at least 75 cats in the last 7 years, including some that died ( :c), the adopted ones, and the ones we currently have.
so much fur.
2. Disney
So with Disney, I mainly like the movies and games. Some games I like/used to play were Epic Mickey and an old MMO of theirs that shut down, Toontown Online. With the movies, I pretty much like the movies like Aladdin and Frozen.
3. So yea, I like to draw a lot. I mainly draw on paper, but sometimes I draw on PC. (Not very good at it, tho). I draw these comic things with my friends for fun sometimes when we are bored. We all have characters in it (And my skin is set to look like my character actually ) and do it a lot. I don't draw them in color, just using pencils.
4. I like Homestuck
I decided this would be good for one of the facts. Homestuck is an online webcomic that I read that has over 6,500 pages and it isn't even complete. It started in 2009. It's made by a guy named Andrew Hussie who runs the website, and made 3 other stories, one of them called "Problem Sleuth"
(Website: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ :3)
5.I like lots of games
I like lots of games, some like Minecraft (duh), Portal 1-2, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and more. I have a wii for playing games with my siblings, but it doesn't work anymore. No games load in it, even if brand new. All we do with it now is use it for Netflix. I have my own gamecube that I play on with my cousin when he is up here and alone when he isn't when I'm bored.
6. Just cuz I can to help me get in
I have a bike that I ride every day around my neighborhood. Mhmmmmm.
And that is the 5 (6) facts!
Done with it! I hope you accept me now into your server and thanks
Peace!

Here are the five facts:
1. About my pets
Yea, more info about my pets. So, we have 2 dogs, a Siberian Husky and Pomchi (Pomeranian Chihuahua). We have outdoor cats, as I said. We have a bunch and I didn't feel like counting them to find out how many . Here's the story with the cats: About 6-7 years ago, we only had a few cats, all outdoor. We got a new cat, black and white, and after a bit, she had kittens. Eventually her kittens grew up, and the girls had more kittens! Now we have a bunch. We always try to give the kittens away to other families for pets, because we have a ton. Right now we have 9 kittens! My sisters made a list of all the cats we have had and haven't finished, and we have had at least 75 cats in the last 7 years, including some that died ( :c), the adopted ones, and the ones we currently have.
so much fur.
2. Disney
So with Disney, I mainly like the movies and games. Some games I like/used to play were Epic Mickey and an old MMO of theirs that shut down, Toontown Online. With the movies, I pretty much like the movies like Aladdin and Frozen.
3. So yea, I like to draw a lot. I mainly draw on paper, but sometimes I draw on PC. (Not very good at it, tho). I draw these comic things with my friends for fun sometimes when we are bored. We all have characters in it (And my skin is set to look like my character actually ) and do it a lot. I don't draw them in color, just using pencils.
4. I like Homestuck
I decided this would be good for one of the facts. Homestuck is an online webcomic that I read that has over 6,500 pages and it isn't even complete. It started in 2009. It's made by a guy named Andrew Hussie who runs the website, and made 3 other stories, one of them called "Problem Sleuth"
(Website: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ :3)
5.I like lots of games
I like lots of games, some like Minecraft (duh), Portal 1-2, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and more. I have a wii for playing games with my siblings, but it doesn't work anymore. No games load in it, even if brand new. All we do with it now is use it for Netflix. I have my own gamecube that I play on with my cousin when he is up here and alone when he isn't when I'm bored.
6. Just cuz I can to help me get in
I have a bike that I ride every day around my neighborhood. Mhmmmmm.
And that is the 5 (6) facts!
Done with it! I hope you accept me now into your server and thanks
Peace!
Hello again!
Well I'm proud of you, you came back with creative guns a'blazin! Part of the reason we have these follow-ups is not so much determine if you will follow instructions, but also how enthusiastically and properly you choose to follow through. This is almost as telling as a well-written app, although since your app was pretty fair to begin with, I would call this some much-appreciated overkill. ^^
Question #2: hehe, I do miss Gunia's, and we are technically the successors of the old Gunia server as we were its "sister" server for a couple of months. We also carry over a lot of its culture, including a healthy reverence for survival (albeit ruined with KeepInventory being on due to a popular vote) and a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency. You don't start out with completely nothing, however, as you are given 33 cheese credits at startup AND you're next to some donation boxes too.
Question #3: Aww, you should have backed up your worlds.
But okay, I appreciate a good builder mainly because while there are often many people on the server, there will be stretches of time (especially during school days) when the server is completely empty, and people who only treat the game like an interactive Skype chat typically get bored and angsty during these conditions. Only builders and creative folk turn a period of low-or-no player interaction into an opportunity to surge ahead on a project.
Question #4:
a - OMG POMCHIS!!! XD
But that's nice to know some additional detail, although I must say that that's quite a bit too many cats, and hopefully you're in an area where so many stray-ish cats don't impact the local wildlife (or get eaten by coyotoes or courgars). ^^;
b - Ah okay, so you're a fan of classic Disney, and not Pixar animation. Wall-E is possibly my favorite "Pixar/Disney" film of all time.
c - Thank you for merging this into one fact.
d - Ah, I have heard a lot about this Homestuck thing from my players, so you'll probably be able to chat with them a bit. And yes, this certainly is an interesting fact to know about.
e - Oooh, a Gamecube! I never got to play one... My console progression went from NES to Genesis to Wii, I skipped a couple of generations. XD
f - WOOHOO! Extra facts! This is good for extra credit, and its something few applicants take advantage of.
It's good that you do some bike-riding, it's great exercise and helps with hand-eye and balance, plus it gets you out of the house for a while too (I don't advocate spending all day on my server, just so you know). ^^
==========
Verdict: That's the spirit!
Even if you hadn't written THIS much in your original app, I think touching on some of these extra details would have made it a flavorful app to review, and by now you would already be checking out the place.
But better late than never, and for your dedication I award you a whitelist.
why do I want to join: I have been looking for a Gulliver sever for a while and I would like to see the different multiplayer Gulliver experience
what are my talents, skills, experience, personality traits: I am very creative in my builds I am not really good in Redstone I am a quick learner my minecraft goal is to defeat the ender dragon
5 random facts about my self: I'm good with animals, a have almost all Pokémon games, I'm not good in installing forge universal, I hate cats out of every animals, I think Gulliver is a really good coded mod
what do I like most about the server sign up: well even if you get on your friends have to make there own applactaion making them do there own work.

Oh hey Tails!! My favorite Sonic character back when I played Sonic games (on my old Sega Genesis). <3
Well that earns you a few free Cia points, though right off the bat I'm afraid it won't save this app. But let's see if its salvageable.
QUESTION #2:
Ah, this is a very common reason given for joining... "because it's the only one". In fact it isn't actually, there are a few hidden ones out there that one can certainly join and which probably could use some good people. The only problem with this reason is that if our server turns out NOT to be the crazy candyland you envisage, what else will keep you from just logging off after the first 15 minutes and never coming back? That just ends up clogging up ma whitelist. :3
In short, tell me why you want to join THIS Gulliver server? We have plenty of server videos, documentation and there's even my blog... you should start checking some of those and report your findings to me.
QUESTION #3:
Run on sentence, much?
Aside from punctuation, you pretty much describe 99% of all Minecraft players.
What can we expect from YOU as a person that can contribute to our server? I mean you could be the best builder in the world, but if you're the greatest mega-jerk that ever walked the face of the earth, I'd rather have the server populated by cobble cubes than have to deal with one of those [again]. So try to market yourself in a way that makes you cool and interesting to consider for a whitelist. XD
QUESTION #4:
You lose points for not bulleting these, but on top of that...
A -- well... at least you don't talk about pets, although this is still animal related. Kind of a contradiction since you later state that you hate cats like the plague (of course you would, you're a fox!).
B -- okay. We have some Pokemon fans here, plus we had Pixelmon installed on Little Brother for a while.
C -- Well this is neither interesting nor a fact, more like an admission of guilt. If you can't install the mod, don't apply for the whitelist... it's stated on the instructions to get that squared away first.
D -- Contradiction of A, actually... I would merge the too and say "I'm good with animals, but I hate cats". With that done, you can free up D for another better interesting fact about you.
E -- Well that we can all agree on, but again it's not a fact about you. It's just a fact about Mion, who we can all agree on is awesome, but her awesome work won't save you here.
QUESTION #5:
Aside from spelling issues, you're quoting the wrong question.
The actual question is to go into the Creed, read it in full, and copy-and-paste your favorite Right or Responsibility here. Not doing so just proves you haven't read anything.
QUESTION #6:
Yay, you got one right!
VERDICT:
While I hate to put down my favorite flying fox, I gotta say... your app has all the trademarks of a bad application. Your Questions #2 and #3 are poor, your facts in Question #4 are lazy, and you messed up on the very easy Question #5 because you probably didn't even open up the creed. And to top of that, the formatting is bad (e.g., not bullet points in Question #4), and your spelling, grammar and punctuation would make most English teachers cry.
And in fact I MUST cry because I can't admit Tails onto our server. >v<
Congratulations, you made this humble baker cry. Hope you feel better about yourself. ;>v<;
Your only saving grace is that you can still take all the feedback I gave you, and use it to make a dynamite app. Pretend I'm Sonic falling to my doom from the sky above, and you're Tails flying in with his biplane, ready to catch me and save the day!
2. Please explain why you would like to join the Server.

Hiya SailedCar,
I'm Miisaka, the one who will be reviewing your application today to determine if you're Big Sister Material. Have to say, your formating is pretty nice which is one thing I always like to look for. Though that's not the only thing I want, so let's see if you have everything else in order, shall we?
==================
Question 1 - Good
Question 2 - Interesting, who was this friend if you don't mind me asking? I'm glad you have an interest in modded servers, but we want to know what you see in us specifically. Aside from wanting to play with your friend (since we we want to ensure you won't login once and leave), what else do you like about us or Gulliver for that matter? From your answer in Question 5, it seems like you've viewed our trailers on youtube or looked at our dynmap, what did you think about those?
Question 3 - Experience is a nice thing to have, and being talkative is a plus. Builders contribute very nicely to the server, it can be interesting to design in a modded server (which you stated would be your first experience). I'm sure some people would be able to enjoy your humor, though I wish you told us more qualities about yourself to get a better grasp of what jokes we would expect from you.
Question 4 - Your facts aren't too bad, though I'd like them to say more about you. I'm very glad you've used headers for questions, but it's best to just bullet your facts rather than number them here. Also they are pretty short word wise, expand on them to at least a sentence if you wish to keep them.
Fact 1 - Interesting, I don't know many people who were tutored or home schooled. How is the experience?
Fact 2 - Though a cool tidbet about yourself, I'd probably replace this one if you can't expand on it.
Fact 3 - Yeah a pretty common topping, but still a classic favorite. Is it your favorite food? Any other toppings you like or even dislike?
Fact 4 - Gah, the pets answer >.< alrighty, well tell us a bit more about them if you want to keep this one.
Fact 5 - That's cool, do you have interest in photography too?
Question 5 - Interesting choice, safe to say you're going to be a tiny here then? Should play a role in your designs when building. We do have some other cities and towns constructed with other sizes in mind, cane serve as inspiration if you ever need it or just wanting to explore.
Question 6 - the posted image text aside... correct ^^'
==================
For a first attempt, this isn't bad at all. It just need a tiny bit of a work in the outlined areas, so just resubmit your application after some tweaking and you'll be good to be whitelisted. Remember when posting your revision, do not just edit your former post and expect us to get to it... make a new one. Until then, good luck ^^

Okay, that's an improvement.
Our application process may seem a bit stringent, but consider that we have no way to really know if you're trustworthy or not off the bat. Sure, we determine this in-game as well, but to avoid having to clean up after a whole lot of mess, we use the application process as an initial security check of sorts. And as part of the security check, we check to see if the user is willing to follow directions... call it a case of "taking your word for it". ;D
Now then, before I get started with the app review, I can definitely see from the 10 choices you made that A) you want to be tiny (and just about every guy on the server is the same way), and you like to think only of yourself. Coupled with the rest of the review, I get the overall impression that you definitely WANT to be in the server, but you're not interested in doing anything exceptional for it. Not that that's required, but it does mean that you just plan to be a filler player, and it's hard to really get excited about yet another Tiny Filler Player. So keep this in mind if my review sounds a bit bored or testy.
=========
Question #1: Good idea, I will call you "Merman"
Question #2: Typically Gulliver Servers are whitelisted for reasons I shall not discuss here, but I guess could be best described as filtering out the REALLLY bad players (and I don't mean griefers). XD
Even so, when you thought our server was a joke, the first thing you should have done was view our server videos, and review the application process thoroughly -- in all those instances, it would have mentioned the whitelist, and you could have prepared yourself to go through with it instead of leaving it as a last-minute thing. Even so, I hear a whole lot of escapades about your incredulity, your cheese and your Tiny obsession, but surprisingly little about our server itself. Maybe if you realized there are other Gulliver servers lying about (albeit much smaller), and far more "open" to new members than we are, you'd probably be more excited to join them instead. So what really brings you to us? That's really what I'd like to know.
Question #3: Well already you assume giants will be after you, so who knows what crazy ideas are running around in your head.
You also claim as your only talent to share with us your unhealthy obsession with wanting to be small, and who knows what crazy forms that will take once you're in-game, totally psyched by the whole size-changing theme (and if you plan on being anyone's "pet", I will kick you in the shins right here and now).
And the last "talent" -- I would really call it "threat" -- is that you plan to unleash the floodgates of hell, and bring over more friends with your strange obsession that plan to do harm to our players. I mean seriously, what kind of sick, twisted, dunderhead thinks that playing golf with Tiny people, barely capable of defending themselves, can possibly be a good thing?!! You Monster!! ;O
Question #4:
a - and both ironically are responsible for many of our modern ailments, more so wheat than dairy though.
b - its been brought to my attention that there are too many pet "facts", as if you're not really coming up with this on your own, but rather trying to plagiarize off of my own fact list. Normally I wouldnt mind, but given I'm already peeved by your app, this rubs me the wrong way.
c - This is plagiarized off of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Hint... if you plan to be funny, learn to be funny first.
d - Another destructive fact about you... I'm starting to worry you're a sociopath. ;P
e - So would that make you a much older player? If you're young and have crazy obsessions, it's understandable if you can't contain them properly, and we would certainly offer ways to help balance your interests with real-life etiquette. But we're a lot stricter with older players because, quite frankly, you should know better by now. ;(
Question #5: Well this is less relevant given you already answered the 10 question demand, but even so... because you failed to do your research, you haven't a clue of the amount of power a tiny can wield to essentially bring a giant to its knees, even when grabbed. But that's understandable, since all you seem interested in is the size-aspect, not the fun aspect.
Question #6: And correct, but tbh, I don't see expect to see you on the server anytime soon.
Verdict: I'm sorry, but upon rereading this app, I register about a thousand warning signs that indicate to me you will not be good company on our server. If anything, you may be a liability, and not someone I'd want to expose to a server primarily populated with young kids. Unless there's some way to prove me wrong and offer assurances that you will join our server as a civilized and mature individual, your app is rejected in whole.

-meman102's signing out to sleep
Okay, so long as you undestand that and are willing to keep the peace on our server, then by all means resubmit a new application with the feedback I've offered, and bearing in mind that your replies should be measured and tempered. I won't say you can't have fun here with the size-changing theme, and most of us do, but I definitely want you to be careful in how you do it. You were probably expecting something free and exhilirating like Las Vegas, and we are in fact more like Disney World Orlando... stifling, but still fun and inventive where it counts. I am willing to say your original app was written with a bit of misunderstanding, and knowing better you'll either try again with the proper frame of mind, or simply drop it here and look for those other Gulliver servers I mentioned.

Cheese
Hello again Merman,
Well you're a persistent little fella, but at least you know how to take a hint in a positive in useful way. There may be hope for you yet, but we'll see.
Question #1: Haha! Too bad, you're a merman. Always have, always will be.
After all the hardship you've put me through, I demand some form of justification, and a cute mneumonic nickname will do.
Question #2: Ah that's better, we like people who like survival play. Note that although we didn't start off as the first, at this point we're very likely the last remaining large-scale Gulliver server in existence, and one with a signficant degree of value to protect. Don't expect that entry requirements in the other servers were this strict,... for the most part they were far more open and easy than we are. The fact that they had to put up with an enormous influx of bad players may have played a small role in their unsustainability, but that's just conjecture at this point even if it does guide a bit of our actions. And yes, since you mentioned me personally, I did pick up a bit of leadership skills while caroling a game server full of bumbling misfits, lol... at the very least, I'm a bit more shameless at work when it comes to bossing people.
Question #3: Well that's all well in good on paper, but I would caution against being a little "too" proactive, because if other players don't return the same effort as you have, you're more likely to feel hurt and betrayed when you end up alone amidst an entire ocean of laziness. At the very least don't expect me to help in your overreaching "challenging" endeavors, as any attempt to give me more work than I already have will usually lead to a good talking down to or worse. ;P
Bottom line, though, you say you offer nobility and experience, which is a little too radically different from using my Tiny players as golfballs, so I'll have to take that with a grain of salt.
So long as you do this on your own and don't bring over your little buddies (until we're absolutely sure you can be trusted), we'll call this a decent if perhaps exaggereated response.
Question #4:
a - Oh nice,.. the best way to prevent pet points from sounding generic is to supply more detail.
b - That must have been painful.
c - I would disagree, most children forced into early work or who had no semblance of "fun" can still grow up to be well-rounded individuals. But mileage may vary.
d - Okay? Well that's two odd philosophical points that aren't really facts and really don't tell make it clear what you're trying to convey.
e - And that's the third. You could easily have fit these all into a single point saying you like philosophy, but now you've squandered the app. >v>
Question #5: And here's the paradox... if you enjoy philosophical thoughts, you could have picked one of the more philosophical responsibilities and espoused on them further. So by picking a relatively mundane one (what server DOESNT have public gardens), you missed an opportunity to impress.
Question #6: No you're not, you just like to think you are. If you were wise beyond your years, we would have been done with this in a single go rather than the half-dozen times we've had to back-and-forth with your app. And you certainly wouldn't be adding weird philosophical points where they don't belong (with Cheese? seriously?!). If we're all bread, you'd be golden brown on the outside, but a little too doughy on the inside, so back to the oven with you, boy!
Verdict: Admittedly, I had high hopes that you would prove me wrong and wow me with an incredible comeback just like another person a few weeks ago bearing a similar "interest" (and who thus far has proven to be a well-rounded individual). Instead, you replaced some very unnerving aspects with some mildly unnerving aspects, but either way it's still unnerving (think of the concept of putting lipstick on a pig). And since this was in your re-submission, and since I have a hard time believing how genuine your words are, I can't say I would be willing to believe a third attempt.
I'm sorry to say, but I still don't think I can trust you on our server.
Good luck to you finding some of the other ones I mentioned, I think you'll be happier there.
I guess I'll give you your name back after all, Meman.

Hello Jake,
Well your application is fairly cut and dry, and reasonably formatted, so at least formatting-wise it seems to be something worth checking out. There may be some issues with the content itself, thought, but that's why the app review process exists... to identify these and see if you're willing to change them.
======
Question #2: Sadly, this is a common reason for wanting to join our server, because we're the only one out there. I never wanted a monopoly on the Gulliver server field precisely because offering casual players no where to go (at least that's very visible) would inevitably lead them to our server which attempts to uphold some reasonably high standards. That means that we end up having to turn away people, including people who figure out how to game the whitelist app, but can't figure out how to weasel their way out of trouble in-game. That being said, I can't say I'm thrilled that that's your only justification for coming here -- that only means that the second a new and free Gulliver server opens up elsewhere, you'll ditch us faster than you can say "WHITELIST-FREE". ;P
Question #3: You were going good when you said you could survive on your own -- many recent whitelistees can't last two minutes being alone by themselves, and desperately cling to any kind of human contact. But then you had to admit you're out of ideas!! Dammit dammit dammit! You might as well paint the word "lazy" on your forehead, I would have at least gotten a good laugh. XD
Question #4:
a - Okay. I've found that a mobile tablet makes a great compromise between traditional paper and digital drawing, in case you want a handdrawing-like experience with an Undo button. Then again, nothing beats the frugality of paper, though.
b - You already said this in Question #3, so this wont count
c - Oh, do you like the theme parks? The movies? The TV shows? The Hayao Miyazaki films licensed by Disney?
d - Well this is kind of related to the drawing one, so they really should be merged.
e - And of course, everyone has a pet fact. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I have a pet fact of my own...
Now if yould have told me that you kept so many animals as part of a volunteer shelter program, that'd be a different story.
Question #5: Well you chose to paraphrase the responsibility instead, but it's not a bad selection actually. This is indeed a big problem, and usually I end up clamping down on fresh whitelistees wanting to bring along their friends and their dogs, typically with horrible applications. Since I still cant fully trust them, it's hard to say whether these are friends or raiding party teammates, so of coursse I get a little edgy.
Question #6: And correct.
Verdict: Well while there are some merits to your application over others I've seen, I can't say I get the vibe that you want to be here by choice. you simply want to be here because there's nowhere else to go, and perhaps even as you're reading this you're probably wondering if it's even worth going through so much "BS" to make it here.
If that's wrong, and you still want to make the effort to get a whitelist, then effort is precisely what you need. Fix up your question #2 and #3, and overhaul your 5 facts to be unique, awesome and interesting. Otherwise, I can assure you you probably won't enjoy it much here. ^^;
Yeah, we kinda would. We're kinda looking for quality over quantity here, so if this is a first ever server AND you get Hulk-angry AND you seem intent on taking the size aspect and roleplay a little too far AND your app is a bit too anemic... then I can tell you know, it's probably best you try to look for one of those hidden Gulliver servers you find on Youtube that will no doubt take you in happily.
But hey, no one can say you didn't try, and sometimes trying is all that matters. Good luck out there! ^^

Edit: I have found 1 whitelist server, not as strict but it'll do.
2: Explain why you would like to join the server
As I said, yea, I like joining servers when trying out mods and this is pretty much the only one. I originally was going to try out on Gunia's server but then it shut down, so I couldn't try out the mod there. There was a link to this, so I wanted to get on here. Whenever I get on servers, I usually play for awhile, and if there is a good community, stay and play. I like servers that you start without items and trying out mods, and this starts off with nothing (as far as I am aware) and it has a mod I want to try out with others!
3. Stuff like skills, personality, talents, etc.
I'm good in Minecraft at things like building. I am average at PVP, but good with a bow. With my personality, I am happy to play with others and like building with people. My goal in the game is usually to build good things, specifically a cool base. Anyways, yea. I like playing and teaming up with other people while playing games. As I already said, I have played since 1.2.5. I played on a different computer than I have now, but that computer stopped working (It was really old) and all my worlds got deleted.
4. Five facts
Here are the five facts:
1. About my pets
Yea, more info about my pets. So, we have 2 dogs, a Siberian Husky and Pomchi (Pomeranian Chihuahua). We have outdoor cats, as I said. We have a bunch and I didn't feel like counting them to find out how many . Here's the story with the cats: About 6-7 years ago, we only had a few cats, all outdoor. We got a new cat, black and white, and after a bit, she had kittens. Eventually her kittens grew up, and the girls had more kittens! Now we have a bunch. We always try to give the kittens away to other families for pets, because we have a ton. Right now we have 9 kittens! My sisters made a list of all the cats we have had and haven't finished, and we have had at least 75 cats in the last 7 years, including some that died ( :c), the adopted ones, and the ones we currently have.
so much fur.
2. Disney
So with Disney, I mainly like the movies and games. Some games I like/used to play were Epic Mickey and an old MMO of theirs that shut down, Toontown Online. With the movies, I pretty much like the movies like Aladdin and Frozen.
3. So yea, I like to draw a lot. I mainly draw on paper, but sometimes I draw on PC. (Not very good at it, tho). I draw these comic things with my friends for fun sometimes when we are bored. We all have characters in it (And my skin is set to look like my character actually ) and do it a lot. I don't draw them in color, just using pencils.
4. I like Homestuck
I decided this would be good for one of the facts. Homestuck is an online webcomic that I read that has over 6,500 pages and it isn't even complete. It started in 2009. It's made by a guy named Andrew Hussie who runs the website, and made 3 other stories, one of them called "Problem Sleuth"
(Website: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ :3)
5.I like lots of games
I like lots of games, some like Minecraft (duh), Portal 1-2, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and more. I have a wii for playing games with my siblings, but it doesn't work anymore. No games load in it, even if brand new. All we do with it now is use it for Netflix. I have my own gamecube that I play on with my cousin when he is up here and alone when he isn't when I'm bored.
6. Just cuz I can to help me get in
I have a bike that I ride every day around my neighborhood. Mhmmmmm.
And that is the 5 (6) facts!
Done with it! I hope you accept me now into your server and thanks
Peace!
Hello again!
Well I'm proud of you, you came back with creative guns a'blazin! Part of the reason we have these follow-ups is not so much determine if you will follow instructions, but also how enthusiastically and properly you choose to follow through. This is almost as telling as a well-written app, although since your app was pretty fair to begin with, I would call this some much-appreciated overkill. ^^
Question #2: hehe, I do miss Gunia's, and we are technically the successors of the old Gunia server as we were its "sister" server for a couple of months. We also carry over a lot of its culture, including a healthy reverence for survival (albeit ruined with KeepInventory being on due to a popular vote) and a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency. You don't start out with completely nothing, however, as you are given 33 cheese credits at startup AND you're next to some donation boxes too.
Question #3: Aww, you should have backed up your worlds.
But okay, I appreciate a good builder mainly because while there are often many people on the server, there will be stretches of time (especially during school days) when the server is completely empty, and people who only treat the game like an interactive Skype chat typically get bored and angsty during these conditions. Only builders and creative folk turn a period of low-or-no player interaction into an opportunity to surge ahead on a project.
Question #4:
a - OMG POMCHIS!!! XD
But that's nice to know some additional detail, although I must say that that's quite a bit too many cats, and hopefully you're in an area where so many stray-ish cats don't impact the local wildlife (or get eaten by coyotoes or courgars). ^^;
b - Ah okay, so you're a fan of classic Disney, and not Pixar animation. Wall-E is possibly my favorite "Pixar/Disney" film of all time.
c - Thank you for merging this into one fact.
d - Ah, I have heard a lot about this Homestuck thing from my players, so you'll probably be able to chat with them a bit. And yes, this certainly is an interesting fact to know about.
e - Oooh, a Gamecube! I never got to play one... My console progression went from NES to Genesis to Wii, I skipped a couple of generations. XD
f - WOOHOO! Extra facts! This is good for extra credit, and its something few applicants take advantage of.
It's good that you do some bike-riding, it's great exercise and helps with hand-eye and balance, plus it gets you out of the house for a while too (I don't advocate spending all day on my server, just so you know). ^^
==========
Verdict: That's the spirit!
Even if you hadn't written THIS much in your original app, I think touching on some of these extra details would have made it a flavorful app to review, and by now you would already be checking out the place.
But better late than never, and for your dedication I award you a whitelist.
Welcome aboard!

Minecraft username: TimothyPlough
why do I want to join: I have been looking for a Gulliver sever for a while and I would like to see the different multiplayer Gulliver experience
what are my talents, skills, experience, personality traits: I am very creative in my builds I am not really good in Redstone I am a quick learner my minecraft goal is to defeat the ender dragon
5 random facts about my self: I'm good with animals, a have almost all Pokémon games, I'm not good in installing forge universal, I hate cats out of every animals, I think Gulliver is a really good coded mod
what do I like most about the server sign up: well even if you get on your friends have to make there own applactaion making them do there own work.
the in game currency: cheese
Oh hey Tails!! My favorite Sonic character back when I played Sonic games (on my old Sega Genesis). <3
Well that earns you a few free Cia points, though right off the bat I'm afraid it won't save this app. But let's see if its salvageable.
QUESTION #2:
Ah, this is a very common reason given for joining... "because it's the only one". In fact it isn't actually, there are a few hidden ones out there that one can certainly join and which probably could use some good people. The only problem with this reason is that if our server turns out NOT to be the crazy candyland you envisage, what else will keep you from just logging off after the first 15 minutes and never coming back? That just ends up clogging up ma whitelist. :3
In short, tell me why you want to join THIS Gulliver server? We have plenty of server videos, documentation and there's even my blog... you should start checking some of those and report your findings to me.
QUESTION #3:
Run on sentence, much?
Aside from punctuation, you pretty much describe 99% of all Minecraft players.
What can we expect from YOU as a person that can contribute to our server? I mean you could be the best builder in the world, but if you're the greatest mega-jerk that ever walked the face of the earth, I'd rather have the server populated by cobble cubes than have to deal with one of those [again]. So try to market yourself in a way that makes you cool and interesting to consider for a whitelist. XD
QUESTION #4:
You lose points for not bulleting these, but on top of that...
A -- well... at least you don't talk about pets, although this is still animal related. Kind of a contradiction since you later state that you hate cats like the plague (of course you would, you're a fox!).
B -- okay. We have some Pokemon fans here, plus we had Pixelmon installed on Little Brother for a while.
C -- Well this is neither interesting nor a fact, more like an admission of guilt. If you can't install the mod, don't apply for the whitelist... it's stated on the instructions to get that squared away first.
D -- Contradiction of A, actually... I would merge the too and say "I'm good with animals, but I hate cats". With that done, you can free up D for another better interesting fact about you.
E -- Well that we can all agree on, but again it's not a fact about you. It's just a fact about Mion, who we can all agree on is awesome, but her awesome work won't save you here.
QUESTION #5:
Aside from spelling issues, you're quoting the wrong question.
The actual question is to go into the Creed, read it in full, and copy-and-paste your favorite Right or Responsibility here. Not doing so just proves you haven't read anything.
QUESTION #6:
Yay, you got one right!
VERDICT:
While I hate to put down my favorite flying fox, I gotta say... your app has all the trademarks of a bad application. Your Questions #2 and #3 are poor, your facts in Question #4 are lazy, and you messed up on the very easy Question #5 because you probably didn't even open up the creed. And to top of that, the formatting is bad (e.g., not bullet points in Question #4), and your spelling, grammar and punctuation would make most English teachers cry.
And in fact I MUST cry because I can't admit Tails onto our server. >v<
Congratulations, you made this humble baker cry. Hope you feel better about yourself. ;>v<;
Your only saving grace is that you can still take all the feedback I gave you, and use it to make a dynamite app. Pretend I'm Sonic falling to my doom from the sky above, and you're Tails flying in with his biplane, ready to catch me and save the day!
Do you have what it takes to save the day?
Oh and SailedCar208!
Just FYI, I'm having Miisaka review your application a little later today, so please wait a bit for her review. Thank you!

Hiya SailedCar,
I'm Miisaka, the one who will be reviewing your application today to determine if you're Big Sister Material. Have to say, your formating is pretty nice which is one thing I always like to look for. Though that's not the only thing I want, so let's see if you have everything else in order, shall we?
==================
Question 1 - Good
Question 2 - Interesting, who was this friend if you don't mind me asking? I'm glad you have an interest in modded servers, but we want to know what you see in us specifically. Aside from wanting to play with your friend (since we we want to ensure you won't login once and leave), what else do you like about us or Gulliver for that matter? From your answer in Question 5, it seems like you've viewed our trailers on youtube or looked at our dynmap, what did you think about those?
Question 3 - Experience is a nice thing to have, and being talkative is a plus. Builders contribute very nicely to the server, it can be interesting to design in a modded server (which you stated would be your first experience). I'm sure some people would be able to enjoy your humor, though I wish you told us more qualities about yourself to get a better grasp of what jokes we would expect from you.
Question 4 - Your facts aren't too bad, though I'd like them to say more about you. I'm very glad you've used headers for questions, but it's best to just bullet your facts rather than number them here. Also they are pretty short word wise, expand on them to at least a sentence if you wish to keep them.
Fact 1 - Interesting, I don't know many people who were tutored or home schooled. How is the experience?
Fact 2 - Though a cool tidbet about yourself, I'd probably replace this one if you can't expand on it.
Fact 3 - Yeah a pretty common topping, but still a classic favorite. Is it your favorite food? Any other toppings you like or even dislike?
Fact 4 - Gah, the pets answer >.< alrighty, well tell us a bit more about them if you want to keep this one.
Fact 5 - That's cool, do you have interest in photography too?
Question 5 - Interesting choice, safe to say you're going to be a tiny here then? Should play a role in your designs when building. We do have some other cities and towns constructed with other sizes in mind, cane serve as inspiration if you ever need it or just wanting to explore.
Question 6 - the posted image text aside... correct ^^'
==================
For a first attempt, this isn't bad at all. It just need a tiny bit of a work in the outlined areas, so just resubmit your application after some tweaking and you'll be good to be whitelisted. Remember when posting your revision, do not just edit your former post and expect us to get to it... make a new one. Until then, good luck ^^
