Captaincranberry, accepted! I have events in the making right now; I'm hoping to announce a PVP event after we fight the dragon on Wednesday. We're big on spleef as well, so expect that to come at some point.
Hammerassalt and Rubikkcube, accepted! Any changes that would affect our players would be announced well in advance.
Cordok, accepted! That would be fine, I think. If there's any problems with people getting annoyed or anything we will try to resolve it.
Ign: cmatt67 Age: 11 Why do you wish to join this server: I would wish to join this server because i'm looking for a legit vanilla mincraft server that won't shut down the second you join and wont get griefed and raided. How active do you intend to be. As active as I can be but, I intend to be on at least 2 hours a day Past minecraft/ server experience: I use to play a lot of single player and that got boring so i started looking for servers. I had a hard time finding survival severs because most of them were minigame/ pvp servers. Then ravand which was semisurvival but they deleted all my stuff so I kept looking i found other survival servers but kept getting raided and griefed. Then I found hmss which was ok but they soon shut down. Tell us a bit about yourself: I love playing with a community and I am very social. I like to do community builds and I like to prank. Any questions: Will this server shut down any time soon? Other info: i dont have skype but I intend on getting it.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I'd like to play on a friendly and relaxed server with my friends. We were playing on another server before for a while but it shut down. We even tried to set up a hamachi server, but one of them was having connection problems. So I hope this one works out.
How active do you intend to be?: Maybe a few hours every other day or more? I'm not too sure, whenever the mood strikes.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I've been playing minecraft for over a year, maybe two? not sure, I was watching let's plays of it long before I bought it. I've played on many different types of servers, vanilla, factions, tekkit (before I knew it was bad). I've been mod on the majority of servers I've played on.
Tell us a bit about yourself: My name is Edin, currently living in Texas. I love nature a bunch, which is usually seen in most of my builds. I'm a friendly person and love to play with others. I'm quite adventurous both in minecraft and irl. I love pretty and big builds a little too much it gave me builders block for a while, so I'm just taking it easy right now.
Do you have any questions?: Nope.
Other info: Heard about this server from rubikkcube and hammerassalt.
The Dragon has been defeated. The Dragon's egg locked away in memorial.
Bold adventurers from all across the land united in Apollus. After a riot of people, dancing in a disco club, murdering the innocent on accident, and trampling the crops of the nearby, we collected ourselves and defeated the evil that has haunted the Endermen for centuries.
Thanks to everyone that participated! It was fun! According to what I've heard, there will be an endermen farm built very soon. Hooray for Insomnia!
==========
Unrelated to the prior message, I have read applications...!
Flameszs, denied. Your application is too short and poorly crafted.
Cmatt, sorry, but you're denied again. You really have to step it up to be accepted, and I've already denied you twice prior.
For the past few days I've been looking for a whitelisted server where I'm not afraid people would raid my house or blow up my house. and by the Topic and the people you accept it seems to me that this server is for people that want the pure minecraft experience which I love and I would love it if I could be whitelisted on this server.
How active do you intend to be?:
I intend to be on 2-5 hours a day during the summer, I have a job which cuts down on the amount I play, and when I do play. I Normally on earlier in the morning and in the evening
Past minecraft/server experience?:
I played on a Semi-large PVP server, which I liked for a long time, then they started to add Over-Powered Donation Kits which everyone bought. So it became a mess of young people Cussing and screaming at each other in teamspeak wanting to raid and blow up each others base, and that is when I left. I hope to join this server to get away from all of that.
Tell us a bit about yourself:
Well there's really nothing to say, I'm been playing Minecraft since I was 12, I only recently left a server I played on for years, and leaving that one brought me to this, and Literally i'm intrigued in everything that was said on the thread. I Also do FTB rarely but, I'm more focused on Vanilla right now. I only recently turned 17, in which I got a mid-level gaming pc for Higher FPS in Minecraft, Which is basically one of the only reasons I got it, I know what a great way to spend money
Do you have any questions?:
Is everyone's house at spawn or is it spread out everywhere?
Is Skype the main source of communication or is there a teamspeak?
Other info:
BTW, If I ever get accepted, get ready for some funny pranks that I've been working on lately. I'm also good at redstone and I've invented a whole bunch of stuff to automatize minecraft.
Why do you wish to join this server: I've been looking around for a vanilla server for a while now, that didn't have game changing plugins. I've managed to join one or two that I've applied for; one of which was great for a while until I found out the "admins" constantly flew around in creative mode trolling and thus came to the conclusion that the server wasn't going to last very long. Now I'm looking to join a solid "here to stay" server where I can enjoy a community of vanilla players for a good bit of time. I like how this server has more guidelines to follow other than don't grief or steal (even though these are among the most important). Also I like how donors won't receive advantages like flying and free items.
How active do you intend to be?: I'll be able to get on for periods of time depending on what I have to do that day (usually about 2-4 hours more or less everyday). As for the community I will try to participate in any events or projects that are planned.
Past Minecraft/server experience: Well my Minecraft "addiction" began on the Christmas of 2012 when I got the game as a present (around version 1.4.6 I believe). I instantly fell in love with the game because of how versatile it was. Since then I've been improving my skills in many areas from building to redstone and would consider myself pretty knowledgeable in the game. As for server experiences, I've played on multiple types of servers like PVP, Skyblock, and a bit of FTB but the ones I liked best were Vanilla servers because it was the original Minecraft experience.
Tell us a bit about yourself: My name is Noel as you can probably tell from my username,I am fairly shy but only when I'm talking to people in real life xD .I have a large interest in technology mainly for computers since there are so many possibilities of things you can do with them. Other than that I can play the guitar and piano (at a mediocre level), and on some of my free time I like to watch anime. I think I'll stop there as I can get easily carried away...
Do you have any questions?: I do I have few questions that may or may not have been answered previously,
How do you guys communicate/announce? Do you just talk to each other on the thread? Or do you use some alternative means like Skype.
What is the purpose of the no iron and gold farm guideline? I assume it's so massive amounts of these fairly precious materials aren't easily farmed, but I'm just checking to make sure.
How long has the server been around?
Other info: I'm hoping you consider my application and that I didn't put you through too much trouble reading through this fairly long post.
Gah, finally, a single server that is thus-far un-desecrated by garbage Bukkit plugins. I will say, the application requirements seem a bit much for a Minecraft server, but I guess it'll probably make for a better community...
In-Game Name: Delocuro
Age (Be honest, there's no age limit): 18, as of last May.
Why do you wish to join this server?: As described in the thread, there seems to be a pretty incredible shortage of half-decent looking vanilla survival shortage, for some reason. Everything seems to be either on Tekkit, outdated Bukkit with a billion plugins, or super-sketch vanilla hosted by a 5 year old who can't even spell he word "server". It's slightly encouraging to see that there's at least one not completely terrible looking server out there.
How active do you intend to be?: Relatively. I mean, I play plenty of games besides Minecraft, and sitting in front of a computer isn't the only thing I ever do, but when I am on, I generally get quite a bit done.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I co-own and operate a server with one of my friends. It's pretty impressively well maintained, but there's rarely more than 3 people on at once, so it'd be nice to find a server with an actually substantial amount of members. Also, I've been playing sinced Beta 1.2, if I remember right.
Tell us a bit about yourself: I live in Michigan, and am currently beginning the first of four anticipated years of college, with the intent to major in Graphic Design. I do quite a lot of gaming in my spare time, and am also co-creator of the recently released mod, Minestrapolation (Link in my sig.) Besides that, I do a lot of biking and art-stuff.
Do you have any questions?: nope.avi
Other info: A cricket's ears are located on the knees of its front legs.

the reason the application process is so strict is because we want to keep this a peaceful community and so many people have expressed interest in joining this server that we were starting to see 16 people. Getting very close to the 20 mark. And im sure with so many applications Giffers wants to keep as nice a community as possible. But mostly it has to do with the growth of the server
SeniorMrPibb, accepted! We have a substantial spawn town called Apollus, but many people live all over the map as well. WE don't have a teamspeak, but people skype regularly.
NoeltheDude, accepted! Outside of the server, we use the thread to communicate usually. The purpose of the no iron/gold farms is partly for the reason you brought up. They overall feel kinda cheat-y, and iron farms in particular lag the small server.
Delocuro, accepted! Thank you for expanding my knowledge of cricket anatomy.
Why do you wish to join this server?: I am looking for an active, fun vanilla server with a helping community to build a fun and functional area. I am relatively new to the game and already prefer the game to be mod free and this server seems like something I'm looking for. The current server I play on is starting to die and I want to play on a thriving server, not a dying one.
How active do you intend to be?: I play just about every day for several hours a day.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I played on a few private servers with friends, and one public whitelist server that was essentially Vanilla. I am relatively new to Minecraft but I am a fast learner and already having fun with utilizing some of the nifty redstone functions.
Tell us a bit about yourself: First and foremost, I have to warn you that I am a sarcastic . But I also understand the difference in being funny versus being just rude. I am constantly joking, including making fun of myself, and usually will have the server in a good mood with my silly antics. I like meeting not toolbag people and making friends.
Do you have any questions?: Will there be cookies? If a fat girl falls in the woods, do the trees laugh? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? WILL HALF-LIFE 3 EVER COME OUT?
Other info: PixelStick and I come as a package deal. We're both amazing, so don't worry about it.
Why do you wish to join this server?: Just looking for a friendly vanilla server without all the childish shenanigans.
How active do you intend to be?: Very... I play often... too often.
Past minecraft/server experience?: I've been playing for about a year now. Mostly alone in the world of singular player, but lately I've been feeling like maybe I need more of the community aspect to really enjoy the game. I love sharing what I've built with others and getting their feedback even tho I'm usually too stubborn to listen, and I love visiting other players and seeing what they've made and what fresh ideas they bring to the table. I feel like I'm a decent exterior builder, but my furnishings definitely need some work.
Tell us a bit about yourself: My name is Kat, and I'm from Canada. I live in an igloo, ride moose, and have a pet beaver. The Canadian jokes never got old, and I love them. :3 I'm a game hopper. I have a large library of games but there are few that I go back to (Minecraft and Counter-Strike). I'm friendly and love to help but I'm also really shy at first and it takes a bit for people to get to know me.
Do you have any questions?: Nopes! D0n pretty much asked them all. :3
