Minecraft Name Bomb505 Preferred Nickname: Red Age: 20 Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?: I am free all friday thru to sunday, except for a six hour gap on saturday. This gap will be early morning where the server is located. Are you able to work with well with the others on the project? Yes and I love talking to people. Reason for Applying?: I recently found out about this. I find it really interesting and are looking forward to the results. Timezone: GMT+10 Skype: Contact me.
It makes no difference if the people in this experiment know its purpose, or even the results of the previous one. Human nature will override all intentions, and thats the point; to see the expression of human nature. Sure, some people will say "this time will be different. This time we'll make sure renewable resources stay renewable." And then someone will cut down the wrong tree, or turn precious lava into obsidian. All it takes is for one person to commit an action that another person doesn't find agreeable.

And there are 30 people.
I call bs....If the test subjects know the experiment before hand it will change said results of the experiment. The only way the last one worked as the text subjects didnt know about the experiment therefor there actions where of there own and not prior knowledge of whats going on. So really any results you get from this test will be altered in a way or another. =/

Perhaps the experiment is based on the fact that they know it is a experiment? I don't know. However an experiment like this is of course going to have different results each time it is done, even if the people are aware of it. I don't think this point of this is to validate/confirm that original one's claims/findings.
Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?: As long as the times are after 3pm on Fridays, I'll have all the time I need. I'm completely free on Saturdays.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project? Having been a server administrator for several servers, I would say my ability to work well with others is not in question.
Reason for Applying?: A friend of mine sent me the link and had me read the whole story from the old map. All in all, it's a very interesting experiment that I would very much like to become a part of.
Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
Yes; on friday I have free time from 3PM to about 10PM EDT (2-9 PM CDT), and on Saturday I have the whole day free.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
I have played on factions servers and normal servers and had no problem working with others, so I should be fine here.
Reason for Applying?:
Mainly to have fun, but I am also interested in seeing how the experiment will play out.

Personally I just think of this as a new game type rather than an experiment.
But I do think the results will be different; when everyone knows what the end will inevitably bring people generally work together to avoid it. Of course at the same time you might have one person working to avoid it but in order for that one person to get there they screw over everyone which causes the same issues to happen.
16 Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
Yes, I play four to five hours a day.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
Yes, I have always been good at playing with others in minecraft, I sometimes troll but only when its not at a serious time, but I will most definitely not do that on this server. Reason for Applying?:
I have played on many other Vanilla servers, and they always seemed to go down hill or all of the players on the server left. I also came from the Aquor server, and it was not like it used to be before the server shut down, so I wanted to find a new server, and this seems like it will fit me well.
Im applying because some friends of mine showed me this and found it very interesting. Its something that i could take very serious. Me and my team will be the ones to come out on top. Hands down

You'd be surprised with the number of people that signed up JUST to PvP/Grief. In our first day of playing, our faction was spending most of our time fending off these people. I think you have to be patient and wait until a few days in, when the factions have been established and the Pvp/Griefers have left before you see any thing interesting
I discovered the limited servers subreddit and loved the gametype so much I went looking for more similar servers with open slots (the ones they use are very limited) - as luck would have it I found this thread. Even better is the fact that unlike the servers I mentioned previously this one is not designed as a pvp battle from the start.
Unfortunately, it seems others just see it as another pvp faction server. We're gonna have a hard time getting everyone to cooperate when there are some people who want to "come out on top." I suppose the real life analogy is how corporations are relentless with their tactics to rule the world. Yea, those corporations pretty much see it as a game

It's not necessarily bad to have conflicting strategy going into the game. It will provide a wide array of results at the end of each testing session, mainly some people having read the prior experiment, want to come together as a team and work well. However, people like jayfelt would rather be the ones to, "come out on top" of everything, and be declared as some kind of winner. It will at least be fun to observe.
20 Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
most definitely. at least a copule hours a day
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project
definately
Reason for Applying?:
i have read the entire original post, and also i particpated in Aquors servers as well and was unimpressed on how it was setup because i was looking for something more like this.
16 Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
I could spare 5 hours about not all at one time i have 2 brother you see so we do 3 hour turns on the one computer we have.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
I run my own vanilla server that has about 19 people on it os yes i can work well with others. I am very good at keeping calm in situations. Reason for Applying?:
I saw the last thread and was immensely intrigued and wanted to try it. also i want to put it on youtube.

Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
My Fridays and Saturdays are relatively free compared with other days, so yes, I can dedicate at least 5 hours for those days.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
I certainly get along with most people. A lot of people seem to want to team up with me just by the way I talk, so yes.
Reason for Applying?:
I've read the entirety of the original post, and I really want to help create civilization from scratch. I also came from the Aquor servers, and it was rather...boring.

I will be on 7 days a week. Ill be on right after school witch ends at 11. Then from there on all day till late at night.

Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?: I'm currently studying at university but have most of Friday off and Saturdays completely free. I stay up quite late anyway and I'm also quite active on minecraft already.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project? Having read of the problems that occurred in the previous experiment, I can't help but be reminded of the lord of the flies and I hope this isn't an absolute insight into human nature. I'd like to think that modern civilization developed because as humans, we were smart enough to realize that we have to work together for the greater good to be in with any real chance of survival and I hope that I'd be able to convince some of the other players to agree with me and deal with the greifers accordingly.
Reason for Applying?: I think we all like to think of ourselves a decent human beings, but when we're thrown into a survival of the fittest situation, we can all become very cruel and greedy. I'd like to think that, giving the opportunity, I would always do what is right by humanity and put the well being of humanity before my own. I think this experiment would not only give me the opportunity to see what a situation like this is like from the inside, but also raise alot of questions for myself about who I am and If I am as good of a person as I like to believe I am? Did the last experiment fail to be civilized because of a few 'bad eggs' or because human nature doomed it too fail. They are the questions I want to ask.
Timezone: GMT so CST +6.

I'd Like to think that the fact that people who join this experiment are aware of the previous experiment adds a new dynamic to the experiment almost making it a completely independent test. It's almost as if we've had the chance to see ourselves for who we real are and learn from our mistakes.
Also, as a science student, I understand the importance of independent researchers repeating experiments. I'd be nice to be a part of this experiment but if for whatever reason I'm not accepted, then I can't wait to see the outcome.
Edit: Sorry about the wall of text. This stuff just really interests me.
18 Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
Should be able to fit in 5 hours at least but timing may be an issue (I'm 6 hours ahead of the server host)
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
Absolutely, in fact I dislike and try to avoid pvp which makes cooperation a necessary part of my playstyle on servers anyway. I much prefer working with people to working against them. Reason for Applying?:

It will be interesting to see if being aware of the experiment will actually make a difference or if we lab rats participants are doomed to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors.
Are you able to dedicate ample time to the project when required?:
I work on fridays and saturdays till 6 pm CEST, but I can be online pretty much because I'm used to stay up late playing Minecraft anyways.
Are you able to work with well with the others on the project?
Absolutely I've been in many groups, mostly in real life. I even used to set up a lot of programs while I was in my university's dorm, so I'm not unfamiliar with the leading role either.
Reason for Applying?:
I've read the original article and I was amazed but also have a feeling that it's not really legit. So one of the reasons is curiousity and the other one is that I'd really like to be in an awesome MC group. (Been watching Mindcrackers for some time now, and I've been playing only SSP or SMP with my brother so far. I saw this post also from the Mindcrack reddit.) Also I could practice my english more

I sadly cannot apply as the time frames aren't possible with my schedule, but I would like to be involved somehow. I have a few questions though.
1) Do you plan on just having a randomly generated world walled off? Or are you going to try to add a stronghold, village, etc. to the land? What about biomes?
2) If you do include a stronghold, will you allow access to the End?
3) Will you keep the Nether completally open like in the original experiment?

The map will be randomly generated, with a bedrock wall around it. Beyond the wall, the chunks will be removed for the most part of the experiment, to reduce smp lag/increase mob spawns.
If there is a stronghold, it will allow complete access to the end.
The nether will be totally open to those who can survive in it.
~ For all of you wondering about the time frame, the sessions will happen over three days if people can get together, friday, saturday or sunday. Depending on who has what time available, for the most part I would like to have all thirty people together, but I believe a few will have prior commitments and may not be able to play for the full time.
Server would most likely be hosted 12:00 PM CST on Saturday/Sunday, and 4:00 PM Fridays if that does occur.

What if someone, say, went several thousand blocks into the Nether and managed to build a portal to an area beyond The Wall that wasn't deleted, then brought back materials from the 'real' world?

That's clearly breaking the rule of escaping the bedrock walls.
Another question: How will the spawn point work?

I'm assuming the people participating are mature enough not to do that? There's only one rule, one rule, that's "do not leave the bedrock walls."
Yayy~ I was accepted. :3 Anyways. I would like to add that my skype does not, for some reason, show new contact notifications. If you could, PM me your skype name and I will add you from there. =D

Of course there's also no hacking/xraying/etc but that's besides the point.
And everyone's original spawn point stays the same throughout the game?
You can try, but I don't think you'll get very far, and you'll have wasted some of your time trying, but ofcourse, that is also prohibited by common sense.
Spawns will be difficult, because I didn't quite find a plugin for that, but nonetheless I shall continue to hunt.

Spawn point will work on a scatter system, each player will spawn at a random point within the enclosure.
