Please list five random facts about yourself that can help differentiate you from other players.

To ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities on our server, please read theNovice's Creed, and write down one right or responsibility that you enjoy the most. 5. If Tiny, you have the right to carve a home within Spawnington, its sewers, or its various hovels, so as long as the outward appearances of the aforementioned builds are not altered.

And finally, to confirm that you read the Big Sister Server Quick Guide please write down the name of the official server currency.
I hate to spurn a fellow Linux user (so this is going to hurt me more than it does you), but this is unfortunately the worst app I have seen on this thread to date. It has a good clean format at least, but the answers to questions 2 through 4 are so infallibly lazy, that it clearly shows a lack of effort and originality on your part, and is a good indicator that you will likely log in for a day, and then never come back.
We want our players to show a bit more commitment and thought than that, so if you're serious about joining our server, I'd advise you to rewrite your responses to questions 2 and 3 to make them more interesting to read (and shoot for about 3 sentences worth of information).
As for question 4, you really need to come up with your own points of interest -- the 5 listed on the application are just examples, and are not meant to be answered as yes/no responses anyway. For instance, if it's true that you're a LInux user, why don't you list the distro name, and what hardware you're running it on?
I saw your... *snicker snicker chortle chortle*... "application" on Gunia's thread, and you actually list a different username to the one you listed for us above...
*ahem* Despite the apparent inconvenience of whitelist applications, especially moderately-difficult ones like ours, they do serve a very specific purpose. They act as a filter and first line of defense against particular classes of... "individuals"... that may seek to cause harm to property and players as their means of entertainment.
Now that's not to say that these "individuals" are completely incapable of writing a good application (for which we have additional security layers in-game), but by and large the vast majority have mediocre mentalities and are thus put-off by any show of effort.
Ergo, we won't lose sleep if anyone is mentally-incapable of completing this application, as there's a 9 in 10 chance they'll turn out to be a problem case later.

Recently, I've been looking for a small server where I can peacefully play Minecraft. I did a couple of Google searches, with no profit, and then I hopped on here and found this post. I hate huge servers.
Please explain how your talents, skills, experience, personality traits, and aspirations can help contribute positively to our server.
I fully intend to spend most of my time on this server, all I really do is play Minecraft, code, and do homework. I love to learn. I spend most of my time figuring out how to make my systems more efficient and productive. I also love to help others.
Please list five random facts about yourself that can help differentiate you from other players.
Unlike some people, I never troll or spam. I try and act as mature as I can, without being completely bland. I like to have fun too.
I have amateur programming skills.
I'm very creative. I love building intricate things.
I'm open to criticism. Things that can help better me, eventually better everyone.
I love The Killers. IMO, they are the best band ever.
List five amazing facts about yourself that make you special or that may be of interest to someone in our community.
I'm very active in my community. I play football, I wrestle, I play in my school's marching, concert, and jazz bands. I'm in choir. I do lots of this that make me busy, but they all occur at different times.
I currently don't have a job, I'm focusing on my academic work.
I used to contribute to a mod called HorcruxCraft, but I decided to quit because of how busy I am.
Not only am I a Linux user, I'm an enthusiast. I love Linux. I used to run Crunchbang up until a few weeks ago, then I switched to Debian Jessie/Sid and recreated the Crunchbang feel.
I volunteer with my step mom every other weekend at various charity events in my area.
My favorite right from the Novice's Creed
"Unless promoted beforehand, you have the right to request a promotion to Veteran status after no
less than one month of exhibiting good behaviour on our server."
I like this right, because it forces people to be loyal to the server.
My favorite responsibility from the Novice's Creed
"Please be courtesy to your fellow players on our server"
Kindness is a necessity for all life. It's should not be just a temporary thing.
The official server currency
"'Cheese' is the server currency, and cheese blocks (aka sponges) are used as a means to physically transfer currency."
My final thoughts
I hope you like my application, I can't wait to join up and get to know everyone!
Aha! Now THAT is an application!
It even [inadvertently] points out a mispelling in my Novice Creed!
I especially love that you do list 5 random facts about you, and then another 5 more based on the application samples! The fun has been doubled! ^v^
Oh and Debian Sid with an OpenBox DE?!!! Woah, that's hardcore! I tip my hat to you!
I am nowhere near that advanced, so just running an Ubuntu chroot parallel to ChromeOS (on a Chromebook Pixel) -- I love the setup, but understandably it's not what one would consider a proper Linux environment. ^^;
I will see about getting a moderator to process your application as soon as possible. ^^

uh...
#2: Srsly? That's the only reason you want to join? Cause there are no others? ^^;
Because in fact, there are lots of Gulliver servers out there... however, they may not all announce them with a whole lot of fanfare, nor are they guaranteed to be around for very long. Surely there must be some other reason we interest you.
#4.1: I certainly hope you mean theater drama. If you mean llama drama, then that's not exactly a good thing. >v>
I do appreciate the honesty, though.
Oh, and no we absolutely do not use Littleblocks... as much as it would be great to, it adds too much overhead that's difficult to deal with later.
Oh, and I took a peek at your Gunia server application....
IGN: 01JoWin
Why: i love playing gulliver and littleblocks but suddenly shadowscales closed his server and gave you a shoutout and tacnhically this looks pretty good and it is maybe the last good server of this kind in the world. by the way i like cheese
To set the record straight, Shadow was not the owner of Dravics', but simple the unlucky maintainer who stuck around when Dravics left. It was Dravics that decided to pull the plug on that server, and Shadow was the one who had to convey the bad news to you guys in-game (on the forum, Dravics admitted it was him due to financial reasons and other concerns).
