There is no ip on the thread, I was not pm'd the ip, but I was pm'd and told to add the owner on skype.
It's been about 5 hours since then, and the owner has not accepted the request or responded to me on the forums.

Fraps and edit with sony vegas 10. Are you willing to listen to the rules?
Yes ofc. 11. Are you going to have fun?
Hope so. 12. How long can you play per week? 30-40 hours minimum.
1. What makes you different from the other applicants? Not really MUCH. We're all Minecraft addicts looking for a lovely server to take part in. However, I can say I would be a good candidate
2. What will you contribute? I can contribute constant friendship, the funnies, help with projects ranging from the smallest of farms to the largest of mob traps.
3. Are you mature? Indeed, however, I still have that "immature" part that can handle jokes and not take everything too seriously. The "immature" part of me isn't the immature breed that would go around ganking everyone because they think it's funny, or disobeying rules because "rules are meant to be broken". Pffth!
4. How old are you? I am 19 years young. I'm not entirely sure how I can turn this into two sentences.. but maybe I just did.
5. What is your youtube channel? KittenSaladDinner. However, I JUST made the account the other day and I haven't recorded a single thing (yet!).
6. Will you record? Probably. I want to, but I'm not sure how a female LPer would go over. Plus I'm one of those people who are all anxious over the thought of getting rude comments, or dislikes. Hng.
7. Are you willing to have fun and not argue with the other players? I'm probably one of the friendliest people you will EVER meet. Though a little shy and awkward at first, I can get along with anyone easily. c: And fun.. it's one of my life's goals; to have fun with everything I do. I'm also one of those "peacekeeper" types (straying from arguments, calming things down). So I shall have fun and not argue with other players. ^^
8. What do you like more, Waffles or pancakes? Neither. I'm more of a crepe person. I grew up with crepes nearly every morning when I was little, so I never really had pancakes or waffles often, therefore, I don't enjoy them (as much). Dessert crepes loaded with home-made apple sauce, chocolate chips, coconut, whipped cream, strawberries, and what have you.. mm delicious! Lolz.
(This question is to determine your abilities with the english language, as in write a descriptive paragraph!)
9. What will you record with? Not sure yet. D: I need to research some good recorders that won't slow my FPS.
10. Are you willing to listen to the rules? To define "listen" is to hear, in which case, this is not hearing; this is seeing. All joking aside, I will indeed understand and follow the rules provided. Why wouldn't I? :3
11. Are you going to have fun? If you're playing Minecraft AND you're on a server, and you're not having fun.. then something is seriously wrong with you. (Not you as in YOU, you as in general :P)
12. How long can you play per week? As much as I can ._. Although, I do have to work at least 8 hours 4-5 days a week, but after that I like to unwind on MC or WoW. So I can't give you a definite answer as to how many hours a week I can play, I can just promise you that I'll try my hardest to be on as much as possible.
I will now thank you for your time and consideration. c: Hope to hear back soon!

Madlands Server application
Since the last post on the thread on the mindcrack fan server thread was several months old I wasn't sure if you were still accepting applications. However some of my favorite people on the You Tubes recently started and I was wondering if you would still accept someone. I do run a small (but growing!) channel focused on Kerbal Space Program (it's tremendous fun) and Minecraft as well as FTB. If you aren't accepting apps at this time then thanks for reading this far. ~BlazingAngel~
1. I am not any different from the first applicant. Lolz. No really I'm an average guy with above average building skills and an amount of free time. I noticed this server from Modef LPs videos and decided it looked like a whole lot of fun. As a unique person I have my special sarcastic style of humor. I also try to use as lengthy words as I can to fill a spot in a sentence. However, my favorite word is still *indeed*.
2. Contributions? Beautiful builds? Humorous death messages scrawled across the bottom of the chat? Most likely everyone will love me because I will be at the bottom of the PvP charts every time. Remember the rule for picking buddies that they taught you in boyscouts? Make sure you are faster than your buddy. Well everyone is faster than me in minecraft making me the perfect buddy!
3. Mature? As in:
I will don't lava/tnt grief (it isn't funny)
I don't sing like Justin Beiber
Don't act like a 9yo with a grudge against anyone who is older than them
If you mean #3 than I fit answer yes, If you mean # then also yes. If you mean #2 then I say to you: Only in the shower.
4. 16 years, 8 months, and an odd number of days minutes and seconds depending on when I post this.
5. My YouTube channel, ohh noes they asked for it! What do I tell them precious? Preciousss. . . .
--- dragonrider66511 ----- I go by Charlie and BlazingAngel though. -1 for auto generated email address usernames. I currently go do KSP vids and Minecraft FTB on the Blaizecraft server. My last vanilla minecraft server died a fiery/gooey/melty death. But you can see the videos of my building style and leave a sub if you want.
6. Definitely, my main purpose in joining a new vanilla server. I know some of you from the youtubes and would enjoy the opportunity tremendously.
7.If you are just in it to be a jerk then why apply? To answer, I am doing this because playing and recording is fun for me. And I promise the only arguments I will bring will be over who is the better builder.
8.Pancakes:
The reason I prefer pancakes to waffles is to be explained further through this descriptive paragraph. Waffles are basically pancakes up until you get to cooking the things. Waffles require quite a lot of effort to produce quality in. Just think how many waffles have been ruined by being mauled when extracted from the waffle maker. On the other hand pancakes are much easier. Also pancakes can be left slightly uncooked in the middle for that perfect, breakfast-y goodness.
9.I record in expression encoder and then edit in video pad. Ignore the crap quality in some of my videos please. I recently had to survive a stint on a mobile hotspot as my only internet. It was murder. I am now running on an ATT router with very impressive speed allowing for skype and play at the same time as well as higher quality uploads.
10.Listening to rules. Doesn't sound like much fun but I can make exceptions for future enjoyment on the server. As a veteran of a few servers I can't imagine anything groundbreaking will be told to me and that the rules of common courtesy apply, however you may still surprise me.
11.Defer to my answer on number 7. Extend with the following. YouTube is fun to me. I enjoy having videos that make people think or laugh or teach them something. Doing this also allows me to play with some people I would really enjoy getting a chance to meet. I will most definitely be having fun on the server.
Final notes. I read the rules. For my home example watch one of my Vanilla server videos. Also I tried to be slightly humorous in this application so take every comment with a grain of salt and keep “Lolz” on your mind. Extra points for saying it twice? If you are not currently accepting applications I apologize for troubling you to read this wall of text.
