7. How often you plan on playing: 1-2 hours a day, maybe more on the weekends.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've been looking long and hard for a good vanilla SMP server. I'm looking for one that is up 24/7 with a mature group of players who are willing to become good friends. This is my favorite type of play by far and your server seems like it could have a lot of potential.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? All of my friends tell me I'm very laid back and positive. I'm apparently the guy who, no matter what, stays calm, cool, and collected. I have a tendency to help others out and I see myself as very empathetic. I enjoy playing video games (of course!), doing graphic design, art, listening to music as well as anything else creative to be honest - which is why, naturally, Minecraft is my favorite video game. I also participate in basketball, track and field, and soccer in high school. I plan on attending college for computer science/engineering or perhaps media arts.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I'm mostly a builder and a supporter. As I said above, I love to help others out. If someone is in need I'm perfectly willing to drop what I'm doing and try my best to be of assistance. I also love to build, which I would say is my best quality in Minecraft. My skills aren't anything spectacular but I can make my projects look pretty nice.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I believe my positive, upbeat attitude and willingness to help out will help keep everyone motivated and invested into the server. I love to chat and often times find myself spending an hour just talking with someone, ending up accomplishing nothing in-game but a good conversation.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Yep, RIGHT HERE!
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? I have had multiple, one of which had over 100 subscribers at one point which was pretty cool to me. I'm mostly inactive right now, but if the server takes off I would love to take part in recording with the rest of the group!
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I can dunk a basketball and I like girls... (In other words, you can put anything you like here that would help us remember who you are haha)

Thank you for applying, Cin. You seem to have the right attitude, maturity and personality for the server. Your application, however, was somewhat short. Because I see your potential, I'm going to request that you maybe go a bit more in depth about your personality and interests (ie: hobbies outside of Minecraft, temperament, etc.) as well as a little more about the type of player you are. We really need to know that the players we are accepting are right for the server and show promising dedication, and writing 3 sentences about yourself shouldn't be too much to ask. Thanks again, and I hope to hear back soon!
7. How often you plan on playing: I plan on playing every day to the best of my ability. Probably an hour on the weekdays and 3 or so on the weekends.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'd like to join Flock SMP because it seems very well organized, as well as I've been wanting to play on another SMP for a long time now. I've played on many other SMP's, however they've all died out. I think I'll enjoy having a fresh start again. I'm also really excited to start a new world in 1.9. There are so many new things I want to try out, and I think the multiplayer experience would be the right way to go. I'm also really excited to collaborate with other people on builds, and on spawn. Building spawn is one of the most exciting things for me when starting a new server.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm kind of a techie haha. I love video games, mainly Minecraft and Rocket League. I also enjoy (learning) graphic design, and using after effects.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I'm literally every player combined. I love to PvP, build and I understand lots of the technical parts of Minecraft. Except redstone... that's another story.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys will enjoy my builds and ideas that I put together on the server.
Hey there Cookie! Thanks for applying. I'll start off by saying that, although you are a few years under the age limit (18), you seem to be a mature enough and well-rounded player. I can tell that you put a good amount of effort into your application. I love the music on your YouTube channel and your interests are very... Interesting. You even remind me a little of myself, to be honest. I just posted a sample application above in the initial post, and I would like you to take a look at it and maybe add a bit to your own application concerning your personality. These applications are our only sense of a player's dedication, so we like to see quite a bit of work put in to them. I hope that's not too much to ask of you. Thanks for your time, and I hope to be hearing back soon!

7. How often you plan on playing: a few hours a week, mostly on the weekends, or as I have some free time
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've recently started playing Minecraft again after quite a long break. As enjoyable as single player is, I really miss multiplayer and being able to interact with other players. Really, I just would a server to come hang out on when I have the free time.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm pretty laid back and friendly. I'm pretty quiet and keep to myself to some degree. But I also like being playing as part of a group. I'm not big on drama, especially is games, and try to avoid it.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? Honestly, I'm not a terribly skilled player. I like to build, adventure and derp around a bit. I tried learning redstone once, and that was interesting. Definitely something I'd try again. I also have the bad habit of walking off heights fairly often.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? Like I said, I'm a friendly person. And I would really like to find a community to become a member of. I don't play terribly often because I have a full time job, but I still think I can be a worthwhile addition. I also like projects and helping with projects.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? No, sorry. :/
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No, sorry. :/
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? IRL, I make soap. From scratch. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology. Also, bears are my favorite.

8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'd like to join Flock SMP because it seems very well organized, as well as I've been wanting to play on another SMP for a long time now.

Building spawn is one of the most exciting things for me when starting a new server.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm kind of a techie haha. I love messing around on after effects and photoshop. I normally do designs for social media accounts, so banners, profile pics, etc. I love messing around with people (Not in a harmful way). On the older servers I played on, I'd be the guy initiating prank wars, going invisible and hitting people with a potato, things like that. I think I do that to lighten any competitive mood, and take breaks from serious play. I haven't met anyone who's been annoyed by any of it, so I'm hoping you guys won't either haha. I love music, mainly indie and chill stuff. On another note, I do love sports. I've been doing swimming and soccer/football for some time now, and I really enjoy it (Except the injuries in soccer, those suck). What kind of answer would this be without mentioning food? Although I'm not originally from the U.S, I do love their take on food. My favorite would be the classics, pizza and hamburgers... yum.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I'm the fun, relaxed kind of guy on an SMP server. My favorite parts of playing on an SMP is when I finally get geared up, I go do stuff at spawn. Last SMP, I focused on creative stuff a lot more. I take a lot of inspiration from Etho's builds. Building is my favorite aspect of Minecraft. With so many blocks, there are literally so many design choices and I love experimenting with them. I was thinking I could have a mountain village on this SMP... we'll see ;). Now... redstone is in fact really fun, I just can't seem to understand it very well. I like making things like the automatic spinning doors and stuff like that. Also, pranks! I have quite a few prank ideas to try out, if the rules allow it of course. I also wouldn't mind the occasional adventuring/co-building with other people, those seem like fun.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys will enjoy my builds and ideas that I put together on the server. That, and the pranks. Those are going to be really fun haha
Ah, now this is a quality application! Thank you for taking the extra time to do this, Cookie. I can tell you are truly dedicated to finding the right server, and I hope we can provide that for you. Welcome to The Flock! I'll be adding you on Skype shortly to get you acquainted. Thanks again!
7. How often you plan on playing: Every other day mostly.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'm interested in small servers, not the really huge servers with thousands of players across its hubs. They are mostly really flared and filled with everything shiny, which really annoys me. I enjoy simplicity. Though I mostly prefer to play on Bukkit servers with McMMO and somekind of factions system, but I just can't find a good server that would suffice for my tastes, so I'm looking for vanilla (it's better than the ultra-modded server, with the exception being FTB, which I also enjoy).
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm very active, a kind of a jack-of-all-trades. I'm a hard worker in real life (school+sport at a national level) and goal-oriented. A problem with me may be that I will get tired of playing this game, because I play this off and on, and looking to play MC after a year long hiatus. Other people describe me as friendly and kind, the one, who everyone goes to ask for help and such. I'm regarded as smart, I myself, don't really think that really much, but maybe it's just modesty. My future plans are oriented into infotechnology and programming, currently I'm hard at learning Python. In other things I really enjoy reading (fantasy mostly), drawing (pencil) and photography. And video games, a lot of video games
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I enjoy farming. Yes, farming. It's always compelled me in MC, eventhough it isn't a really fleshed out part of this game, but that's what I 99% of the time end up doing. And building, I'm not a great designer, but I get the work done, because I finish what I start 99% of the time. I also enjoy PvP, not the all kinds of wars that are the main selling points of all the other servers, but simple duels and such for fun, not for get richer. Just for fun
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I can benefit the server by being a hardworking player (eventhough not 100% active, I have a busy schedule) that is honest, trustworthy and friendly. If I get to know all the other guys, I might become a kind of a small leader, because it compells me to lead/help other people to greater things. And maybe if we fit well, I can eventually become a humorous guy, but that will take time, because I have to start feeling comfortable in the situation (it wont take long ).
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Sadly, I do not, because my builds aren't the greatest, but they get the job done as I said before
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? Yes, I do, in matter of fact, it's the same as my IGN.
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" Just a good quote that has catched on lately (actually today)(I'm not religious, but the quote is from the bible).
7. How often you plan on playing: I rarely have time restrictions that would prevent me from playing. I'm behind my computer most of the day and if I enjoy playing on this server you can be sure you'll see me often (10, 12 hours a week?). This is my last semester of school before summer break and university, so I guess the only reason my time on the server would be limited is if I miraculously (and finally; my mother would say) decide to get much higher grades than now (even though i'm doing pretty well). If anything, i might not be available friday nights or some saturdays if I'm doing something with my friends.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? : Well first of all, this presentation is shockingly clean, and it seems like I am looking for the same thing as you guys. I've kind of stopped playing survival because I always get that urge to start but I get bored alone; and whenever I try something online my experience isn't great. Grief, immaturity, etc. I absolutely love the concept of servers like Mindcrack or Hermitcraft, where everybody has a great time. It's all about community and being mature. I was browsing Youtube earlier and i stumbled upon the Mindcrack official channel, and i remember how much i enjoyed watching Etho and BdoubleO playing. I thought why not give it another shot; so i ended up here! I also love the fact that you are up to date! 1.9, snapshots, vanilla; all that is perfect for experimenting with the new features, and that's something I enjoy a lot. Oh yeah, also, I'm Canadian French, and I was tired of french servers because of the different time zones and the lag (also the fact that young french people are really immature lol). As you can see, my english is okay (I partically live my life in english), so I don't think that would a problem at all. I can always talk in spanish or chinese if those are my last options hahaha.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? : Tough question. I don't like talking about myself and how great I am or whatever. I've always been an introvert, but in the past 2 years i've been a very social person. I love the idea of a community. I think something that's relevant to Minecraft is the fact that I love challenges, and I'm a big fan of redstone, map-making and mini-games. I love the process that takes me from a problem to its solution. I'm not a very good builder though, but I like "expanding my territory", creating things. I've always been told i'm a creative person. I've wanted to be a graphic artist, work in an advertising company, and I'm currently hesitating between psychiatrist and Youtuber (last one's weird I know haha). I also like to laugh. Dark, or any kind of humour is my thing!
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? : Like I said, i'm not shy, I like challenges, and I love problem-solving!
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys could enjoy the ideas I have when it comes to building a community. I've always managed things in every server i've played. I've been the Mayor of a town I built and in which people settled, during the game's early Beta. I created my own private, survival/creative server a few years later, to which I added new cool building blocks by coding a private mod for the server. And I was a big fan of sharing/selling at some point. I started a small server with some french friends and i dedicated probably a month to putting together the perfect "market" system. Finally, I guess, if you guys ever need some art for a channel or the server, I can probably help. I was a graph artist on a modding website for a couple of years and I still enjoy Photoshop to this day.
12. Do you have any build pictures to share? I'm not an incredible builder, but I mentionned I loved mini-games and map-making, so if you want you can check out a game my friend and I made a while ago (I'm actually working on a 1.9 update). I posted it on this forum, the name's CopyCollect. It didn't do great but that's because we didn't get enough exposure (I swear, it's great!!) hahaha.
13. Do you have a YouTube channel? I do! But it's in french, and I stopped posting videos about 3 years ago hahaha. Maybe i'll start again someday. Here's the link if you wanna check it out : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNzehdUfzeenKNG803oONqw
14. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I love goofy builds and pranking people hahaha
Hey there Steve! Great job on your application. I'll tell you now that you've been accepted, but sadly I'm unable to add you to the server until I get home in a few hours. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for applying and I'll talk to you soon!!

7. How often you plan on playing: I play more on Friday and Saturday nights roughly around 5 hours each but throughout the week I play around 2-4 hours depending on my schedule.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? Honestly, I've been playing minecraft for awhile and most of the time I play on servers like mineplex or the hive. Most of my friends don't really play minecraft anymore and are interested in different games like destiny so most of the time I am just playing by myself and would like to play with other people. I also starting watching some youtubers such as members from The Pack. Watching some of their videos, I really like the idea of playing with others to have fun and to build friendships. I'm hoping to join so that I might meet some new friends and be able to have fun with others.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm actually pretty laid-back. I enjoy watching movies, tv shows, reading comics and keeping up to date with sports(basketball, football, volleyball and track). I'm usually a hardworking person and always up for new experiences whether its going to drag show or snowboarding, I try to have fun as much as possible. I'm also "pretty" religious according to my friends and cooperative with others. One thing I do like doing is helping out. Some other interests are hiking, camping, star gazing(don't know my stars but its a sweet view), Frisbee, golfing, playing the ukulele and spending time with family and friends. I don't really feel like I've said much about my personality primarily because I don't like talking about myself and others.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? For the most part, I'm more of a pvper and a parkour player since I rarely play survival or single player that much. I enjoy playing minigames such as death tag, turf wars, dragon escape, gladiator and micro battles on mineplex and sky wars, hunger games and others on different servers. To be honest, I sometimes rage and rant if the game is intense and something happened but I don't really rage quit.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I can't think of much but I believe I can help benefit the server and the community by bringing ideas, being a friend and helping to create a better atmosphere. I kind of go with the flow with whatever happens and definitely open to interacting with others on the server. I hope to add on to the server in positive ways if I'm accepted.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Nope, sorry.
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? Yes, I am Hawaiian and no I don't live in Hawaii in case you were wondering. I get asked that question everytime I play on a server.
7. How often you plan on playing: Because of work, I'll mostly be playing on the weekends. That could easily change though. It's been a few months since I've played minecraft, so I'm sure the first few weeks I'll be trying to find lots of time to get on and play.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'm really looking for a close knit community to join. I've been apart of a few modded and vanilla servers in the past, and have met some amazing friends through them. I really like that The Flock requires members to be active. One of the best parts about playing on a server is getting to watch the server grow with other's builds and creations.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? Okay. I'm not that great when it comes to talking about myself, so bare with me. For the most part, I am a very outgoing person. I don't take myself too seriously so I'm always joking around or goofing off. I really enjoy art, books, video games, food, nature, hockey, and cats. I also really like working and collaborating with others. On past servers, I've helped build and design nether hubs and spawn towns.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? As someone who has been playing the game since beta, it's almost pathetic how bad I am at the game. I have no grasp at red stone, and my PVP skills could be compared to that of a slug's. But while my survival skills in the game may be lacking, I am pretty amazing at building. I'm best at smaller builds and interiors, and I love doing community projects such as nether hubs and town halls.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? As I've mentioned, I'm always willing to help with big server projects. I get along great with others and could really bring some new creative ideas to the server
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Unfortunately, most of my pictures are on my old computer, but I did manage to find one. (It should be attached to this post? Hopefully I did it right.)
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No.
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I'm a lifeguard at my town's community center and spend most of my days watching the elderly splash around in the water. I'm also a swim instructor and coach. Exiting, I know.
7. How often you plan on playing: Almost everyday, if I need to study I may miss up to 3 days but not more than that
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've been looking for a nice small server to join for a while now. The community aspect really sounds good to me because I have never enjoyed being raided and loosing all that nice gear I had saved up. Also, games are always more fun playing with other people, and being able to communicate with them.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? In terms of minecraft, I really like mining and building and have quite a lot of experience with both. As a human, I really enjoy being able to sit down and relax for a few hours a day by playing some games (like minecraft)
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? As I said above (before I read this question), I enjoy building and mining a lot. I have admined on multiple servers as well as owned and operated my own for over a year, so I have developed an ability to configure plugins as well.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I have no problem logging on, turning on some dubstep, then mining until my inventory is full of my pick breaks. I would also be very willing to build player homes for anyone that wanted one.
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? I do, but I don't post minecraft videos (yet). I only started making videos about a week ago (bout a week ago)! Just search "dumb_blocks" on youtube (and make sure you specify channels)
Thanks for applying, Teresa! With your building skills and apparent sense of humor, I think you could fit in very well with us. Welcome to The Flock! I'll be adding you on Skype shortly. Thanks again!
Great application, Sam! Congratulations, you've been accepted! I'll add you on skype, however whitelisting will sadly have to wait till tomorrow when I'm able to access my computer again. Thanks for joining us!

8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've been looking long and hard for a good vanilla SMP server. I'm looking for one that is up 24/7 with a mature group of players who are willing to become good friends. This is my favorite type of play by far and your server seems like it could have a lot of potential.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? All of my friends tell me I'm very laid back and positive. I'm apparently the guy who, no matter what, stays calm, cool, and collected. I have a tendency to help others out and I see myself as very empathetic.

2. Do you have a YouTube channel? I have had multiple, one of which had over 100 subscribers at one point which was pretty cool to me. I'm mostly inactive right now, but if the server takes off I would love to take part in recording with the rest of the group!
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I can dunk a basketball and I like girls... (In other words, you can put anything you like here that would help us remember who you are haha)

3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I've been playing minecraft for quiet a long time but recently I haven't been and I'm wanting to get back into a small multiplayer server because they're hard to find with active people.[/b]
Thank you for applying, Cin. You seem to have the right attitude, maturity and personality for the server. Your application, however, was somewhat short. Because I see your potential, I'm going to request that you maybe go a bit more in depth about your personality and interests (ie: hobbies outside of Minecraft, temperament, etc.) as well as a little more about the type of player you are. We really need to know that the players we are accepting are right for the server and show promising dedication, and writing 3 sentences about yourself shouldn't be too much to ask. Thanks again, and I hope to hear back soon!

7. How often you plan on playing: I plan on playing every day to the best of my ability. Probably an hour on the weekdays and 3 or so on the weekends.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'd like to join Flock SMP because it seems very well organized, as well as I've been wanting to play on another SMP for a long time now. I've played on many other SMP's, however they've all died out. I think I'll enjoy having a fresh start again. I'm also really excited to start a new world in 1.9. There are so many new things I want to try out, and I think the multiplayer experience would be the right way to go. I'm also really excited to collaborate with other people on builds, and on spawn. Building spawn is one of the most exciting things for me when starting a new server.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm kind of a techie haha. I love video games, mainly Minecraft and Rocket League. I also enjoy (learning) graphic design, and using after effects.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I'm literally every player combined. I love to PvP, build and I understand lots of the technical parts of Minecraft. Except redstone... that's another story.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys will enjoy my builds and ideas that I put together on the server.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share?

Hey there Cookie! Thanks for applying. I'll start off by saying that, although you are a few years under the age limit (18), you seem to be a mature enough and well-rounded player. I can tell that you put a good amount of effort into your application. I love the music on your YouTube channel and your interests are very... Interesting. You even remind me a little of myself, to be honest. I just posted a sample application above in the initial post, and I would like you to take a look at it and maybe add a bit to your own application concerning your personality. These applications are our only sense of a player's dedication, so we like to see quite a bit of work put in to them. I hope that's not too much to ask of you. Thanks for your time, and I hope to be hearing back soon!

7. How often you plan on playing: a few hours a week, mostly on the weekends, or as I have some free time
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've recently started playing Minecraft again after quite a long break. As enjoyable as single player is, I really miss multiplayer and being able to interact with other players. Really, I just would a server to come hang out on when I have the free time.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm pretty laid back and friendly. I'm pretty quiet and keep to myself to some degree. But I also like being playing as part of a group. I'm not big on drama, especially is games, and try to avoid it.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? Honestly, I'm not a terribly skilled player. I like to build, adventure and derp around a bit. I tried learning redstone once, and that was interesting. Definitely something I'd try again. I also have the bad habit of walking off heights fairly often.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? Like I said, I'm a friendly person. And I would really like to find a community to become a member of. I don't play terribly often because I have a full time job, but I still think I can be a worthwhile addition. I also like projects and helping with projects.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? No, sorry. :/
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No, sorry. :/
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? IRL, I make soap. From scratch. I also have a bachelor's degree in biology. Also, bears are my favorite.
Thank you for considering me!
Ah no it's no trouble at all. Thank you for the compliments, they mean a lot

9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm kind of a techie haha. I love messing around on after effects and photoshop. I normally do designs for social media accounts, so banners, profile pics, etc. I love messing around with people (Not in a harmful way). On the older servers I played on, I'd be the guy initiating prank wars, going invisible and hitting people with a potato, things like that. I think I do that to lighten any competitive mood, and take breaks from serious play. I haven't met anyone who's been annoyed by any of it, so I'm hoping you guys won't either haha. I love music, mainly indie and chill stuff. On another note, I do love sports. I've been doing swimming and soccer/football for some time now, and I really enjoy it (Except the injuries in soccer, those suck). What kind of answer would this be without mentioning food? Although I'm not originally from the U.S, I do love their take on food. My favorite would be the classics, pizza and hamburgers... yum.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I'm the fun, relaxed kind of guy on an SMP server. My favorite parts of playing on an SMP is when I finally get geared up, I go do stuff at spawn. Last SMP, I focused on creative stuff a lot more. I take a lot of inspiration from Etho's builds. Building is my favorite aspect of Minecraft. With so many blocks, there are literally so many design choices and I love experimenting with them. I was thinking I could have a mountain village on this SMP... we'll see ;). Now... redstone is in fact really fun, I just can't seem to understand it very well. I like making things like the automatic spinning doors and stuff like that. Also, pranks! I have quite a few prank ideas to try out, if the rules allow it of course. I also wouldn't mind the occasional adventuring/co-building with other people, those seem like fun.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys will enjoy my builds and ideas that I put together on the server. That, and the pranks. Those are going to be really fun haha

Ah, now this is a quality application! Thank you for taking the extra time to do this, Cookie. I can tell you are truly dedicated to finding the right server, and I hope we can provide that for you. Welcome to The Flock! I'll be adding you on Skype shortly to get you acquainted. Thanks again!
1. Name/Nickname: Just call me Steve.
2. Guy or Gal: Guy
3. Skype Username: stiivox
4. Minecraft IGN: SubbDogg
5. Age: 18
6. Country/Timezone: GMT +2
7. How often you plan on playing: Every other day mostly.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'm interested in small servers, not the really huge servers with thousands of players across its hubs. They are mostly really flared and filled with everything shiny, which really annoys me. I enjoy simplicity. Though I mostly prefer to play on Bukkit servers with McMMO and somekind of factions system, but I just can't find a good server that would suffice for my tastes, so I'm looking for vanilla (it's better than the ultra-modded server, with the exception being FTB, which I also enjoy).
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm very active, a kind of a jack-of-all-trades. I'm a hard worker in real life (school+sport at a national level) and goal-oriented. A problem with me may be that I will get tired of playing this game, because I play this off and on, and looking to play MC after a year long hiatus. Other people describe me as friendly and kind, the one, who everyone goes to ask for help and such. I'm regarded as smart, I myself, don't really think that really much, but maybe it's just modesty. My future plans are oriented into infotechnology and programming, currently I'm hard at learning Python. In other things I really enjoy reading (fantasy mostly), drawing (pencil) and photography. And video games, a lot of video games
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? I enjoy farming. Yes, farming. It's always compelled me in MC, eventhough it isn't a really fleshed out part of this game, but that's what I 99% of the time end up doing. And building, I'm not a great designer, but I get the work done, because I finish what I start 99% of the time. I also enjoy PvP, not the all kinds of wars that are the main selling points of all the other servers, but simple duels and such for fun, not for get richer. Just for fun
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I can benefit the server by being a hardworking player (eventhough not 100% active, I have a busy schedule) that is honest, trustworthy and friendly. If I get to know all the other guys, I might become a kind of a small leader, because it compells me to lead/help other people to greater things. And maybe if we fit well, I can eventually become a humorous guy, but that will take time, because I have to start feeling comfortable in the situation (it wont take long ).
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Sadly, I do not, because my builds aren't the greatest, but they get the job done as I said before
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? Yes, I do, in matter of fact, it's the same as my IGN.
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" Just a good quote that has catched on lately (actually today)(I'm not religious, but the quote is from the bible).

5. Age: 17 (i'll be 18 May 6th)
6. Country/Timezone: Canada/EST
7. How often you plan on playing: I rarely have time restrictions that would prevent me from playing. I'm behind my computer most of the day and if I enjoy playing on this server you can be sure you'll see me often (10, 12 hours a week?). This is my last semester of school before summer break and university, so I guess the only reason my time on the server would be limited is if I miraculously (and finally; my mother would say) decide to get much higher grades than now (even though i'm doing pretty well). If anything, i might not be available friday nights or some saturdays if I'm doing something with my friends.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? : Well first of all, this presentation is shockingly clean, and it seems like I am looking for the same thing as you guys. I've kind of stopped playing survival because I always get that urge to start but I get bored alone; and whenever I try something online my experience isn't great. Grief, immaturity, etc. I absolutely love the concept of servers like Mindcrack or Hermitcraft, where everybody has a great time. It's all about community and being mature. I was browsing Youtube earlier and i stumbled upon the Mindcrack official channel, and i remember how much i enjoyed watching Etho and BdoubleO playing. I thought why not give it another shot; so i ended up here! I also love the fact that you are up to date! 1.9, snapshots, vanilla; all that is perfect for experimenting with the new features, and that's something I enjoy a lot. Oh yeah, also, I'm Canadian French, and I was tired of french servers because of the different time zones and the lag (also the fact that young french people are really immature lol). As you can see, my english is okay (I partically live my life in english), so I don't think that would a problem at all. I can always talk in spanish or chinese if those are my last options hahaha.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? : Tough question. I don't like talking about myself and how great I am or whatever. I've always been an introvert, but in the past 2 years i've been a very social person. I love the idea of a community. I think something that's relevant to Minecraft is the fact that I love challenges, and I'm a big fan of redstone, map-making and mini-games. I love the process that takes me from a problem to its solution. I'm not a very good builder though, but I like "expanding my territory", creating things. I've always been told i'm a creative person. I've wanted to be a graphic artist, work in an advertising company, and I'm currently hesitating between psychiatrist and Youtuber (last one's weird I know haha). I also like to laugh. Dark, or any kind of humour is my thing!
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? : Like I said, i'm not shy, I like challenges, and I love problem-solving!
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I think you guys could enjoy the ideas I have when it comes to building a community. I've always managed things in every server i've played. I've been the Mayor of a town I built and in which people settled, during the game's early Beta. I created my own private, survival/creative server a few years later, to which I added new cool building blocks by coding a private mod for the server. And I was a big fan of sharing/selling at some point. I started a small server with some french friends and i dedicated probably a month to putting together the perfect "market" system. Finally, I guess, if you guys ever need some art for a channel or the server, I can probably help. I was a graph artist on a modding website for a couple of years and I still enjoy Photoshop to this day.
12. Do you have any build pictures to share? I'm not an incredible builder, but I mentionned I loved mini-games and map-making, so if you want you can check out a game my friend and I made a while ago (I'm actually working on a 1.9 update). I posted it on this forum, the name's CopyCollect. It didn't do great but that's because we didn't get enough exposure (I swear, it's great!!) hahaha.
13. Do you have a YouTube channel? I do! But it's in french, and I stopped posting videos about 3 years ago hahaha. Maybe i'll start again someday. Here's the link if you wanna check it out : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNzehdUfzeenKNG803oONqw
14. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I love goofy builds and pranking people hahaha
Hey there Steve! Great job on your application. I'll tell you now that you've been accepted, but sadly I'm unable to add you to the server until I get home in a few hours. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for applying and I'll talk to you soon!!

5. Age: 19
6. Country/Timezone: US/ Pacific Time Zone
7. How often you plan on playing: I play more on Friday and Saturday nights roughly around 5 hours each but throughout the week I play around 2-4 hours depending on my schedule.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? Honestly, I've been playing minecraft for awhile and most of the time I play on servers like mineplex or the hive. Most of my friends don't really play minecraft anymore and are interested in different games like destiny so most of the time I am just playing by myself and would like to play with other people. I also starting watching some youtubers such as members from The Pack. Watching some of their videos, I really like the idea of playing with others to have fun and to build friendships. I'm hoping to join so that I might meet some new friends and be able to have fun with others.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? I'm actually pretty laid-back. I enjoy watching movies, tv shows, reading comics and keeping up to date with sports(basketball, football, volleyball and track). I'm usually a hardworking person and always up for new experiences whether its going to drag show or snowboarding, I try to have fun as much as possible. I'm also "pretty" religious according to my friends and cooperative with others. One thing I do like doing is helping out. Some other interests are hiking, camping, star gazing(don't know my stars but its a sweet view), Frisbee, golfing, playing the ukulele and spending time with family and friends. I don't really feel like I've said much about my personality primarily because I don't like talking about myself and others.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? For the most part, I'm more of a pvper and a parkour player since I rarely play survival or single player that much. I enjoy playing minigames such as death tag, turf wars, dragon escape, gladiator and micro battles on mineplex and sky wars, hunger games and others on different servers. To be honest, I sometimes rage and rant if the game is intense and something happened but I don't really rage quit.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I can't think of much but I believe I can help benefit the server and the community by bringing ideas, being a friend and helping to create a better atmosphere. I kind of go with the flow with whatever happens and definitely open to interacting with others on the server. I hope to add on to the server in positive ways if I'm accepted.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Nope, sorry.
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? Yes, I am Hawaiian and no I don't live in Hawaii in case you were wondering. I get asked that question everytime I play on a server.

You've been accepted as well, goldaine! I'll have to add you when I make it home in a few hours. Thanks for applying!

7. How often you plan on playing: Because of work, I'll mostly be playing on the weekends. That could easily change though. It's been a few months since I've played minecraft, so I'm sure the first few weeks I'll be trying to find lots of time to get on and play.
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I'm really looking for a close knit community to join. I've been apart of a few modded and vanilla servers in the past, and have met some amazing friends through them. I really like that The Flock requires members to be active. One of the best parts about playing on a server is getting to watch the server grow with other's builds and creations.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? Okay. I'm not that great when it comes to talking about myself, so bare with me. For the most part, I am a very outgoing person. I don't take myself too seriously so I'm always joking around or goofing off. I really enjoy art, books, video games, food, nature, hockey, and cats. I also really like working and collaborating with others. On past servers, I've helped build and design nether hubs and spawn towns.
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? As someone who has been playing the game since beta, it's almost pathetic how bad I am at the game. I have no grasp at red stone, and my PVP skills could be compared to that of a slug's. But while my survival skills in the game may be lacking, I am pretty amazing at building. I'm best at smaller builds and interiors, and I love doing community projects such as nether hubs and town halls.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? As I've mentioned, I'm always willing to help with big server projects. I get along great with others and could really bring some new creative ideas to the server
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? Unfortunately, most of my pictures are on my old computer, but I did manage to find one. (It should be attached to this post? Hopefully I did it right.)
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? No.
3. Anything else you would like to tell us? Maybe something to set you apart? I'm a lifeguard at my town's community center and spend most of my days watching the elderly splash around in the water. I'm also a swim instructor and coach. Exiting, I know.
So many good applications! I promise I'll get to all of you once I make it home. Thank you for your patience!

7. How often you plan on playing: Almost everyday, if I need to study I may miss up to 3 days but not more than that
8. Why would you like to join The Flock? I've been looking for a nice small server to join for a while now. The community aspect really sounds good to me because I have never enjoyed being raided and loosing all that nice gear I had saved up. Also, games are always more fun playing with other people, and being able to communicate with them.
9. Describe your personality/interests - what type of person are you? In terms of minecraft, I really like mining and building and have quite a lot of experience with both. As a human, I really enjoy being able to sit down and relax for a few hours a day by playing some games (like minecraft)
10. What type of player are you - skills/what you enjoy most? As I said above (before I read this question), I enjoy building and mining a lot. I have admined on multiple servers as well as owned and operated my own for over a year, so I have developed an ability to configure plugins as well.
11. How can you benefit the server and its community? I have no problem logging on, turning on some dubstep, then mining until my inventory is full of my pick breaks. I would also be very willing to build player homes for anyone that wanted one.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have any build pictures to share? I sure do! Here's the link --> http://dumbblocks.imgur.com/all/
2. Do you have a YouTube channel? I do, but I don't post minecraft videos (yet). I only started making videos about a week ago (bout a week ago)! Just search "dumb_blocks" on youtube (and make sure you specify channels)
You've been accepted, Ammon! I'll PM you the server info and get you in. I hope you can get that Skype set up soon. Thanks for applying!
Thanks for applying, Teresa! With your building skills and apparent sense of humor, I think you could fit in very well with us. Welcome to The Flock! I'll be adding you on Skype shortly. Thanks again!
Great application, Sam! Congratulations, you've been accepted! I'll add you on skype, however whitelisting will sadly have to wait till tomorrow when I'm able to access my computer again. Thanks for joining us!
