3. Day, Month, and Year of Birth (you'll get a present): 17/04/1995
4. Gender (this is optional): Male
5. Favorite thing to do in minecraft: I love building things and I like mining, but I worry a lot about the details (I can spend hours getting it just right). Also, I like building minecart lines and trying new things with redstone (not a pro yet, though)*
6. Explain any talents you possess that you feel will greatly benefit the clan: As I said before, I care about the details, but this is not about the aesthetics only, but the 'flow'(lacking a better word) of the constructions. For example, I always add stairs or ladders in mines, so I don't have to move up jumping. Simple things, but great improvements. "sausage" (?)
7. Explain why you have chosen to apply to The Obsidian Empire: I've been browsing the clans section of this forum and this one seems to be the most organized I have seen. No other clan has the credit system that you guys have and it sounds great.
8. Explain your opinion of the President or Prime Minister of your country: The new president just got elected, so no one has seen what she is capable of, however I support another political party, therefore I don't expect great actions from her.
9. Describe your homeland, especially what you like about it: Well, I live in Brazil and it is a huge country and really hot. Also, as it has been colonized by different countries, it has a lot of diversity of races and cultures, what makes it an interesting place to live. The city I live in, São Paulo, is one of the biggest cities in the world, so there is always something interesting to do. And I think you know about the Brazilian girls...
10. Include at least one picture or video (or a link to either) and an explanation of something truly impressive that you have created, either in SSP or SMP: http://img600.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=mc1.png#
In the link there are 5 pictures: the first one is a picture of this lighthouse I built (not really impressive, but I am quite proud of it, as it took a lot of time to gather all the glowstone). The other 4 pictures are about this idea I had of 2 floating islands, one made of regular world blocks and the other one made of Nether blocks. The 2 islands are connected through a portal, as you can see in the pictures #4 and 5.

5. Favorite thing to do in minecraft: My favorite thing to do in minecraft is to (besides playing minecraft) is to build up my fortification, to protect my housing area from mobs. I also like collecting resources during the day, and fighting of mobs on a large flat area at night, along with some other things that are not important.
6. Explain any talents you possess that you feel will greatly benefit the clan: The talents that I belive I have that can benefit your great empire is that I can help construct fortifications (when there are mobs), collect/gather resources (not the best miner but I think I'm "okay"), follow orders and rules while showing respect, enforce the rules when necessary, build, I understand a few basics of redstone dust/torches, building walls, and I am good with designing interior, along with exterior (walls). I not really sure what your criteria is when it comes to benefiting greatly, but thats a few things off the top of my mind... EDIT: Oh and I can build fast, eighter custom (for people who spend time at home) or generic housing (for compact population areas or someone interested in mining or not at home often), or just anything for the apropiate area (have yet to see server.) *Sausage* is pretty cool also.
7. Explain why you have chosen to apply to The Obsidian Empire: Well, I have seen your banner a few times, and wondered what it was so I chose to see what it was about, and it turns out you are a clan, something which I have yet to be in. I have also read that you are not just any clan, but an orderly clan that has great admins and operators. You also seem to have great history, and a great economy system. Those are a few of the reasons that I can think of now.
8. Explain your opinion of the President or Prime Minister of your country: My opinion about the president of my country is that things could be better, since I was hoping someone from the opposite party would be elected.(Maybe next time)
9. Describe your homeland, especially what you like about it: My homeland, the United States, is located in North America, below Canada, and above Mexico (I think many know that...). What I like about my state is that there are hot summers, and snowy, freezing winters. What I like about the United States is that it can be both one of the worst and best countries (bad from the uneducated which could get a bit stereotypical, and good from the good people who know more about the world and their country, defend it, (or a patriot), but not going into that to avoid being a stereotype...). Oh and it seems the US is in debt, so thats not very good.
10. Include at least one picture or video (or a link to either) and an explanation of something truly impressive that you have created, either in SSP or SMP: Sorry that I don't have any pictures or videos to add, but my place does not look to great on the outside, but it is still under development anyway...
But I do have a tower with a tree farm that is not in use as of yet (My walls have yet to be completed at my main base, while my alpha base has walls that spread outward the higher they go, and has a molt under construction. The walls of alpha are also defended by burning wood blocks...)Sorry for any mispelt words, I was typing faster that usual.

Introduction
On behalf of The Obsidian Empire, allow me to greet you. My name is Nathan, and I am The Obsidian Empire's resident Redstone Engineer and one of our Operators. We have finally finished moving our clan over to our new virtual dedicated server, and have set up the beginnings of the city infrastructure. Now, we just need charming gents and ladies like YOU to fill our ranks and make our city square bustle with excitement!
The History of the Empire
The Obsidian Empire has been around for nearly 4 months, now. It was originally started by Ghostsniper64 with his friend Chucklz. Initially, the city was sparse, with a mere four towers, most of which, incomplete. Gradually, buildings were finished and features like private lots were set in place, along with a host of other improvements. Members began forming new settlements and the Empire began expanding rapidly.
Things were going well until Ghost was no longer able to host the server. The residents got discouraged by this and disbanded, being forced to all go their separate ways. This is when Rapid131 began scheming. He asked Ghost for a copy of the map and immediately set up a new at-home server and revived The Empire; members began trickling back into the Empire, one by one.
Right about this time, Comrade_Seawolf became active in the server, quickly making friends with the residents and admins alike. He and Rapid became fast friends and the two of them decided that it was only right to propel The Empire into greatness. Comrade set out on his quest to restore the empire to its former glory, but soon realised that they needed help. His mind reeled as he thought of people that could help him, and above them all, one name stuck out: "Scaarj".
He knew immediately that he had to contact his old friend and get him on board with this server. Scaarj was a bit rusty at first, but soon became an extraordinary member of the team. He and the other two brought back the old operators, and together with their newest addition, Vechora, the lot of them launched The Empire to heights never before experienced.
After a time, The Empire had surpassed even its former glory. Members raced in by the handful and populated the city. It was soon massive; truly a sight to see. The Empire was so successful, in fact, that it was soon unanimously decided that a dedicated server was absolutely in order. Preparations began.
Unfortunately, just as all of this was taking place, it was becoming more and more obvious that the city was utterly confusing to navigate. Everyone tried to just deal with it, often giving the excuse of having spent insufficient time in the city to really know the way around. Right when everyone thought it was best to just deal with the layout issues, an arrogant but intelligent young redstone engineer named nathanpaulyoung showed up on the scene.
After furious debate and lots of persuasion, Nathan convinced the admins that it was in everyone's best interest to start fresh. Thus, the new server was started, and a new map was created, this time designed by the newest addition to the administration team, Lukeman40. Luke is a very gifted civil engineer, and, using his skills, he was able to craft an astonishingly detailed and well-crafted plan for the new city. Work began immediately.
As this motley crew of admins began work on the new map, mostly searching out a prime location for the new city, the residents were hard at work on the forums, creating proposal after proposal for buildings and laws and systems. Nathan was, yet again, spearheading the majority of these. Put a * at the end of section 5 of the application to be considered for membership quicker. After quite a few of his ideas being accepted, it was decided that his skill at systems design was utterly invaluable, and he was added to the administration team, as the last of 5 Operators.
The Empire now sees an ever-growing population from all over the globe. Together, Scaarj, Rapid, Comrade, Vechora, Luke, and Nathan are ensuring that the future of The Empire is bright. Come and see for yourself, Applicant.
Our Values
Yes, yes, griefing is bad. We've all heard that a thousand times. This section is going to give you an idea of what we're really like, especially we admins, as the leadership in a clan is important.
Firstly, we're all here to have fun. Minecraft is a game, so above all, preserving the fun atmosphere is our aim. We give great attention to things that will cause our players to get bored or frustrated, and generally respond and solve the issues within hours. When a player has a concern, we welcome them to contact one of our Admins or Operators, either directly or through our private clan forums.
Secondly, respect is paramount. Not just for the Admins and Operators, but for one another. We consider this to be nearly self-explanatory, but will define it here just in case.
"Respect" means communicating with one another in a friendly way.
"Respect" means not harming or stealing another person's property.
"Respect" means not whining when you don't get your way.
"Respect" means putting the word "sausage" in section 6 of the application.
"Respect" means handling arguments with other players in private messages and involving an Operator when a resolution cannot be made.
Finally, we like our city to be pretty (we also like rhyming). We have a very detailed "Master Plan" for the major areas of the city, and we stick to it like white on rice. We will sometimes determine that a building is not up to par with our aesthetic standards or perhaps is just in the wrong place. If this happens, we will ask you to change or move it. Our last city was a mess to try to walk through - utterly unnavigable was how I termed it - so this time around, we're making sure things are organised and beautiful.
Our Economy
We have recently implemented a very detailed (and very experimental) economy. It's being closely monitored to ensure the desired result, but is in place on the server for all to use. Here's a breakdown.
We have a clan vault that users can request to purchase from or sell to. These transactions are regulated and the prices aren't set in stone. All non-crafted items are accepted, and they have separate sale and a buy prices. The buy price is always 20% higher than the sale price. Prices will occasionally fluctuate in order to help control supply and demand. Occasionally, the Admins and Operators will decide to stop purchasing certain items from players, again, in an attempt to control inflation. Put two dollar signs at the very end of your application. Please note that "Buy price" refers to the price the user will pay for the item when purchasing from the clan vault. Below is a list of item prices listed in Credits, our currency.
Note: "Buy" means how much you can get for selling the items to an admin or mod, whereas "Sell" is how much you can pay to get items from a admin or mod.

Our residents, however, may trade amongst themselves and can choose to set the price they think is most fair. We encourage our members to trade services and goods, and offer favors and help, but still be competitive.
Resident housing is available in one of our several scenic locations. There is plenty of space still available, including plots of varying size and location. Plots are sold from the City to the resident, and price is determined by location and size. Currently, a baseline house runs somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000C for a 8x8 plot or a slightly larger apartment. Expensive plots can get up into the tens of thousands.
Eventually, we will be opening up a more lively real estate market, including an auction system. Had your eye on that grassy lakefront space? Talk to the soon-to-be-named Real Estate Manager.
In an effort to get the economy going, for a limited time all new members get 1000C as a sort of "stimulus package". You can choose to drop all of it on a house, or save it for materials, or whatever! It is yours forever, and you are the only one who can know how best to spend it!
Locales
Obsidia is centered around the city square. The square is composed of the buildings deemed most important to the Empire. Some of it is still under construction and help is definitely needed (make sure you ask an Operator if you'd like to help; we'll pay you!), but it's absolutely entirely usable. Some key locations found in or just outside the city square are as follows:
Redstone Museum - This is intended to be a tutorial for those unfamiliar with redstone wiring. At present one of six floors has been populated with exhibits, and more are on the way after a few more important projects have been finished. City Hall - This is an ongoing project. It will, eventually, house the offices of the administration as well as the future minecart station, which will carry residents from city to city. More on that in a minute. Bank - The bank is another under-contruction building. It is where users may buy and sell items, and will eventually house personal vaults guarded by magical forcefields (we use the mod Realms) and adminium. Hospital - This building provides health restoring items for free. Health is currently turned off, as are monsters, but in the coming weeks, once we have the other major projects finished, we will be turning those on and walling in the city. This building will become rather much more important at that point. Coliseum - Construction has not begun on this building yet. The stadium will be a PvP enabled zone inside the safe confines of the city limits. Booby traps and strange mechanisms of war await those who step inside. Will you make it out alive?
Districts
At present, Obsidia is the only district, however we have plans for many other smaller cities all across our massive map! We plan on creating all of the following, and a select few are already in the planning and or construction stages:
Medieval District - Ye olde towne of wood and cobblestone, this district will emphasise traits exemplary of the Medieval Age. Skyscape Heights - An entire city contructed on floating islands above a frozen lake. Beach Bay - A society based on fishing, sailing, and pirating! This city will be on or very near to the water! And many more!
Once the first district or city has been made, construction will begin on the minecart stations. These will be a scenic, speedy way to travel from city to city while seeing the land in between the major locales. This project will be spearheaded by Nathan, so ask him if you're interested in contributing.

The other 4 pictures are about this idea I had of 2 floating islands, one made of regular world blocks and the other one made of Nether blocks. The 2 islands are connected through a portal, as you can see in the pictures #4 and 5.

5. Favorite thing to do in minecraft: My favorite thing to do in minecraft is to (besides playing minecraft) is to build up my fortification, to protect my housing area from mobs. I also like collecting resources during the day, and fighting of mobs on a large flat area at night, along with some other things that are not important.
6. Explain any talents you possess that you feel will greatly benefit the clan: The talents that I belive I have that can benefit your great empire is that I can help construct fortifications (when there are mobs), collect/gather resources (not the best miner but I think I'm "okay"), follow orders and rules while showing respect, enforce the rules when necessary, build, I understand a few basics of redstone dust/torches, building walls, and I am good with designing interior, along with exterior (walls). I not really sure what your criteria is when it comes to benefiting greatly, but thats a few things off the top of my mind... EDIT: Oh and I can build fast, eighter custom (for people who spend time at home) or generic housing (for compact population areas or someone interested in mining or not at home often), or just anything for the apropiate area (have yet to see server.) *Sausage* is pretty cool also.
7. Explain why you have chosen to apply to The Obsidian Empire: Well, I have seen your banner a few times, and wondered what it was so I chose to see what it was about, and it turns out you are a clan, something which I have yet to be in. I have also read that you are not just any clan, but an orderly clan that has great admins and operators. You also seem to have great history, and a great economy system. Those are a few of the reasons that I can think of now.
8. Explain your opinion of the President or Prime Minister of your country: My opinion about the president of my country is that things could be better, since I was hoping someone from the opposite party would be elected.(Maybe next time)
9. Describe your homeland, especially what you like about it: My homeland, the United States, is located in North America, below Canada, and above Mexico (I think many know that...). What I like about my state is that there are hot summers, and snowy, freezing winters. What I like about the United States is that it can be both one of the worst and best countries (bad from the uneducated which could get a bit stereotypical, and good from the good people who know more about the world and their country, defend it, (or a patriot), but not going into that to avoid being a stereotype...). Oh and it seems the US is in debt, so thats not very good.
10. Include at least one picture or video (or a link to either) and an explanation of something truly impressive that you have created, either in SSP or SMP: Sorry that I don't have any pictures or videos to add, but my place does not look to great on the outside, but it is still under development anyway...
But I do have a tower with a tree farm that is not in use as of yet (My walls have yet to be completed at my main base, while my alpha base has walls that spread outward the higher they go, and has a molt under construction. The walls of alpha are also defended by burning wood blocks...)Sorry for any mispelt words, I was typing faster that usual.
Thats why I wear one, too..."
