Hi, seems like I got some time before you decide the winner, so I can make the improvement anyways. I want to point out that I don't have a PayPal, and I won't be getting it, so I'm not interested in any donation-money, or money-related responsibility.
What is your intended use for the server?:
Survival, but with shops, mobarenas, pvp-arenas, paintball and towns. I did this on the server I used to have. It will only start out like this, but if things turn out well, I might add creative, hunger games, skywars, maybe skyblock, and other stuff, and it could grow into a hub-server. So I will basicly start small, and maybe it will become something way bigger later, a hub server with several servers attached!
Do you have prior knowledge about owning a server?:
I have a lot of knowledge with owning servers. I have owned 3 servers myself, but they didn't work out since I never got them 24/7. After those servers, I learned everything I need to know about permissions, plugins, commands, groups, prefixes, suffixes, website-design, etc... I know what plugins I need, (essentials, pex, core protect, world edit, etc...) and I know how to use them. I am able to make a website through enjin, and all that stuff. I haven't been so much on the forums earlier, and I never advertised or got staff here. This might be one extra reason why the server didn't work out well, but now I've been a little more on the forums, and I'm prepared to get staff-ranks, and advertise here. Since you can't find proof of my servers here, you could check out the website for my first server: awesomecraft7.enjin.com, and for the second server I made: mixycraft.enjin.com. The third server, I never got a website for, since I never passed the permissions and plugins part of server-creating. I have also been an admin on another server, and I want to tell you that I started out as a trial-mod, but got ranked up. This has to mean they liked my work, right? Unfortunately, I got demoted when the server reset, and I never got to know why, but that's a while ago, and it was a push for me to make servers. So no hard feelings. I have also been moderator on a norwegian server, even though they wanted 16+ staff. I asked why they still accepted me, and they said they liked my app so much. They still haven't really demoted me, but I'm hardly ever on the server since there's nothing to do, and there's always other staff on, so they don't really need me either. But still, I know a lot about making and maintaining a server, so thumbs up for that!
How old are ya?:
I am 15 years old.
Are you a developer?:
I have programmed some games, but I'm not a developer of plugins/mods or something, but someone in my class has programmed a mod called fallen earth. I haven't seen the mod myself, but he's a person that's into programming, so I believe him, and I'm sure he can develop forme. If you want to see my games (warning, I'm a noob and the games suck) check out trefjord.no/stawchify and go to the menu stiwchygames. If you by developing mean managing, downloading and fixing plugins. Setting up permissions, fix problems withconsole-errors and such, then I am a developer. Because I know a lot about how to handle this stuff, like I said when I answered the other question. Someone on the server is an Admin, but can't fly? No problem, one command, and they got /fly. A member is unable to use /home? Easy, one command, and its fixed. A new person enters the server, and says he is from planet minecraft, to review servers? No problem. One command, and he is on the ban list!
Why do you want to make a server in the first place?:
I love making permissions, managing plugins, moderating the server, I really want to create a community for people to join, play at and have fun at. But the biggest reason is probably that I think it's really hard to find a server that is EXACTLY like I want it. So I thought: "if I can't find the perfect server, why not make the perfect server?" So that's exactly what I want to do. I like towns, where people can build houses on their plots. I like having some minigames like paintball, hunger games, pvp and mobarena, but I don't really want them to be on separate servers. I like when players have the ability to buy/sell in a shop, and I want a survival world to play in, as well as maybe a creative world to test some redstone or build nice houses on. This is what I want in a server. This is what I'd put in MY server!
Would you stay with me as you progress? Would you leave? Different plan?:
I would stay with you of course. I like to cooperate with people, and I would describe myself as easy to cooperate with as well. We could make a great server together, and we would be equal in the cooperation between us. Of course, the minecraft interest is something that comes and goes. I might quit minecraft. Or the server might get low on donations. There is always a risk that I have to go for some reason, that I might not even know yet. Like when I go to "videregående" as its called in Norway, which is kind of like college, but a year later. I might still be able to play, but I might not have as much time. That's a possible reason for me to leave. But lets just face it. We all have a risk of leaving, even you! I didn't really think this far when I wrote the application the first time. But in the closest future, I won't leave you. I will stay loyal, until a reason comes that makes me have to leave. You will then know why, and I will help you find a new owner for the server.
Why don't you just buy your own server? Why do you need to use this one?:
I am generally not the kind of guy that uses money on stuff like this. I'm not really rich either, or come from a rich family. I'm not saying we're poor, but we don't have THAT much money. I'm not able to pay lots of money on a montly basis, and since I don't have PayPal, and I'm not able to get it, I can't rechieve donations either, which makes it even harder for me to be able keep the server up. I make around 30$ each month, norwegian money. This is not enough to buy a server, considering that I have other stuff to use my money on as well. So that's basicly why I'm unable to buy a host myself.
Have any special skills?(Building, Developing, Etc):
I'm not that good at building, or developing plugins, but I think my skills lays in managing plugins, creating permissions, designing websites and moderating server. I am also creative, so I can find out great stuff to have on the server, and when I have a server, I know exactly how I want it to be! I also learn fast, by this I mean mainly commands, but also other stuff. If someone teaches me something, I learn it in no time. I am also trying to learn how to make logos with Adobe Illustrator, so I might be able to make a nice-looking logo for the server in the future as well. I also have people-skills, and many people describes me as nice. At least that's what I've heard. One thing is getting people to come on the server, but if you want the players to stay, you need to be nice, treat players equally, and let them speak, listen to their ideas, and don't act like they're less worth than you. You need to show them why this is the best server, why they should stay and what they can do here.
How do you plan on getting donations and staff members?:
For donations, I would firstly have to make groups, but registering PayPal and such is something you'd have to do. I would make this groups have perks. LIke /fly, /enderchest, and other stuff. Lets say the group donator, has the prefix [Donator], and they are able to use /enderchest, /kit donator, and some other stuff. And I also have a group called VIP, with the prefix [[VIP], that can use /fly, and /kit vip, and again, some other stuff that I will come up with then. When it comes to staff, I would post on minecraftforums.net and planetminecraft.com what I need, what server this is, and make them fill out an application. Then I would have an interview through chat in MC, skype or somewhere else if possible. I would also set up an application on the website, and I guess and hope you're using enjin. I would also like to know if you will pay for domain as well, or if we would keep it as: servername.enjin.com.
How do you plan on going out donations?(How are you going to get them?):
I will advertise through server, and in spawn to tell what perks they get. Maybe I'd give the first five to join the server a free donation, just so they can tell about their perks and show and we'd pretty much get free commercial! I would have an auto-broadcaster telling about the donation-ranks and perks, and maybe have one of those popular donation-walls in spawn, and try to find a plugin that can easily show them the kits. I saw this on another server I was on. On this walls, they will see what perks they get, what donation rank they get, what price they have to pay, and what they get through the kit of that specific group.
Estimated projection time for server?(4 weeks, 5 days, Etc):
This is what I would probably be done with on the server, and when:
4-7 days: Permissions and main plugins would be done. This is a really short process, since I know the commands and such very well, so this might even get finished earlier.
2-weeks: Most staff and builders will hopefully be hired, and spawn should be built, or at least we have started building on it. I will have a building-crew to help with this, but I have to point out that builders won't automaticly get staff-ranks when the server is published, asbuilder-material isn't always staff-material! I've probably created the main survival world, and maybe made a small spawn there too. Please note that this is not a huge spawn, maybe just 10x10 area with some signs telling about important features like protectionstones and lockette, which I will most likely be using. I probably will start making the website during this week too, hopefully.
3-weeks: All staff are hired. Shops and a couple of towns are made. Hopefully a banner-guy has made a banner for us. server is ready to be published! We will upload the server on different sites on the internet, like pmc, minecraftservers.org and other servers. The website should be done.
4-weeks: Hopefully the paintball, mobarena and pvparena, are done building and the server is complete!
2-3 months: Maybe the server has grown, and I have made hungergames, skywars, and maybe a creative world. But of course, I can always hope for the server to grow big, but I can't be sure.
Estimated time: 3 weeks for publish, 4-weeks for fully complete server. 2-3 months for a grown community, with several plugins and stuff added. Many people like the server an keep joining, and maybe it's even grown into a
hub. At least this is my hopes and dreams for the server.
NB: Making a server is work I can't really put a proper finished-date on. This could take longer to do, or maybe I'd even get done faster. I am not sure how it will be during the summer vacation, but I know I'm going to Sweden, and to my cabin (I know, cabin, typical norwegians.) But I don't think this is for more then maybe 2 weeks, both together, so I will have lots of time to use on the server.
Which country do you live in?:
Trondheim, Norway.
Contact Info(Skype Preferably):
I do have skype: brags1232, but I don't really do voice-chats unless 100% nessecarily. I have a hotmail too, but I'm hardly ever on, so I don't think there's any good reason to give you this.
Bad history:
The first server I was ever on, a couple of years ago, was a norwegian server. Hardwork. After a while, a friend showed me, and another friend something. "X-ray." We used this, and I felt bad abot it. So bad I admitted the whole story to a staff-member. Another day, not long after, we got banned. Permanently. I regret that action, and it never happened again. Ever! After this, I became admin once, mod once, I even got my own server 3 times! The owners that accepted me as staff knew about this, and were happy with my work! I see no reason you shouldn't be as well.

I see no reason you shouldn't be as well.
Best regards:
Brage/brag123.
Also, since the new EULA will deny game-affecting donations, we will be unable to do the perks I talked about. However, trough the FAQ, I have noticed that they do allow cosmetic donation-perks. This means we can give a donation group a prettier prefix, chat will automaticly have another color, maybe add pets and we could allow those players to use /nick, or /hat. All of these will give them status, and they will look better, but it won't affect the game, or any other game-features!
I hope most of your understand that unless you have a server with 75+ people on it at one time, you wont need that much ram. 4gb of ram with a good processor is good enough to run any server (as long as its not Hypixel's). If you have a cpu clocked at a decent speed with multiple cores you can use the JDK to force your server to run multi-cored. That multi-core running session along with at least 4gb of ram can run a server up to at least 50 people. There are other modifications, variables and methods of optimizing a servers efficiency but this is the most understood way. If anyone wants help making total use of their machines power without wasting anything just contact me. Skype is snowfalls321.
What is your intended use for the server?(Factions, Custom RPG, Etc): i would use it to expand out my server with more minigames and more gamemodes for members to enjoy.
Do you have prior knowledge about owning a server?: I currently own a server and have owned 2 before this aswell.
How old are ya?: i am 21 years old
Are you a developer?(If so, provide evidence): i do know how to code but i have only coded 2 plugins before i would have to show them on skype because i do not want to let out to the public.
Why do you want to make a server in the first place?: I have always enjoyed minecraft and i actually use my server to personally play with ideas that i like and do not have to ask other owners to make the changes.
Would you stay with me as you progress? Would you leave? Different plan?:I would probably stay with you because it would make it much easier to run the server
Why don't you just buy your own server? Why do you need to use this one?: I actually do have my own server i would just like to expand it.
Have any special skills?(Building, Developing, Etc): I am a really good plugin master, im a pretty good builder and developer as well.
How do you plan on getting donations and staff members?:I plan to offer donator ranks for factions and towny server aswell as maybe some extra perks on some minigames. i plan to throughly go through before i pick staff members to make sure they are going to be a good staff member
How do you plan on going out donations?(How are you going to get them?):
Estimated projection time for server?(4 weeks, 5 days, Etc): it would take me about a week to implement everything
Which country do you live in?(Also include state, city, etc): i live in michigan united states i do not feel comfortable telling you my city on minecraft fourms.
What is your intended use for the server?(Factions, Custom RPG, Etc):maybe put a hub aerver ith this idea in one world There's a world with a battlefield (Flat land) and room for kingdoms. Every staff member makes a kingdom. Players must choose one kingdom to live in. On the battlefield, kingdoms make small military forts. Every weekend, all the kingdoms meet up at the battlefield for a war. Last kingdom standing wins. Wars do not need to happen every weekend. Some kingdoms can plan attacks against other kingdoms. A war can happen inside someones main base. Tnt, fire spread and other dangerous things are enabled.
Rules: No major grief (You can edit this if you like) No spawning in items but you may build your main kingdom in creative (Bigger the better) Turn off social spy if you're going to use bukkit/spigot No attacking kingdoms if there's less than two players from the kingdom online No protecting kingdoms with any type of plugin You must rebuild grief in survival Regular players cannot start their own kingdom And maybe add minigames and maybe add plot world and maybe more later on.
Do you have prior knowledge about owning a server?:I have owned a few servers so I know how to run a server and how to config plugins and server files
How old are ya?:19
Are you a developer?(If so, provide evidence):I'm learning
Why do you want to make a server in the first place?:because I like Minecraft servers and I like running servers and making a fun place for people
Would you stay with me as you progress? Would you leave? Different plan?:I will stay with you until the end
Why don't you just buy your own server? Why do you need to use this one?:because I'm in college so I don't have the money
Have any special skills?(Building, Developing, Etc):I can build
How do you plan on getting donations and staff members?:for donations I would make special ranks and commands. For staff I would make a application form and post it and I would talk to them get to know them and see if they are trustworthy
How do you plan on going out donations?(How are you going to get them?):I would make special ranks and commands
Estimated projection time for server?(4 weeks, 5 days, Etc):well it depends but maybe one week to get staff and builders and maybe 2 weeks for building and maybe 1 week for bug testing and getting rid of the bugs
Which country do you live in?(Also include state, city, etc):united states
You've done multiple threads about this before and why are you just giving away a 10GB server?
Simply too lazy to start yet another server, I feel like giving people with great ideas a chance at something big. I wouldn't have made such a detailed and thorough application had this been a scam. I'd be willing to get involved with a partner if you do infact think this is a scam. Thanks, Maph.

But when does the "post die down"? When will the server get started?
But when does the "post die down"? When will the server get started?
"Post dying down" simply means when all the people who have seen it, and want to apply, have had the chance to do so. The "winner" will be announced at the death of this post, so to speak.

Survival, but with shops, mobarenas, pvp-arenas, paintball and towns. I did this on the server I used to have. It will only start out like this, but if things turn out well, I might add creative, hunger games, skywars, maybe skyblock, and other stuff, and it could grow into a hub-server. So I will basicly start small, and maybe it will become something way bigger later, a hub server with several servers attached!
Do you have prior knowledge about owning a server?:
I have a lot of knowledge with owning servers. I have owned 3 servers myself, but they didn't work out since I never got them 24/7. After those servers, I learned everything I need to know about permissions, plugins, commands, groups, prefixes, suffixes, website-design, etc... I know what plugins I need, (essentials, pex, core protect, world edit, etc...) and I know how to use them. I am able to make a website through enjin, and all that stuff. I haven't been so much on the forums earlier, and I never advertised or got staff here. This might be one extra reason why the server didn't work out well, but now I've been a little more on the forums, and I'm prepared to get staff-ranks, and advertise here. Since you can't find proof of my servers here, you could check out the website for my first server: awesomecraft7.enjin.com, and for the second server I made: mixycraft.enjin.com. The third server, I never got a website for, since I never passed the permissions and plugins part of server-creating. I have also been an admin on another server, and I want to tell you that I started out as a trial-mod, but got ranked up. This has to mean they liked my work, right? Unfortunately, I got demoted when the server reset, and I never got to know why, but that's a while ago, and it was a push for me to make servers. So no hard feelings. I have also been moderator on a norwegian server, even though they wanted 16+ staff. I asked why they still accepted me, and they said they liked my app so much. They still haven't really demoted me, but I'm hardly ever on the server since there's nothing to do, and there's always other staff on, so they don't really need me either. But still, I know a lot about making and maintaining a server, so thumbs up for that!
How old are ya?:
I am 15 years old.
Are you a developer?:
I have programmed some games, but I'm not a developer of plugins/mods or something, but someone in my class has programmed a mod called fallen earth. I haven't seen the mod myself, but he's a person that's into programming, so I believe him, and I'm sure he can develop forme. If you want to see my games (warning, I'm a noob and the games suck) check out trefjord.no/stawchify and go to the menu stiwchygames. If you by developing mean managing, downloading and fixing plugins. Setting up permissions, fix problems withconsole-errors and such, then I am a developer. Because I know a lot about how to handle this stuff, like I said when I answered the other question. Someone on the server is an Admin, but can't fly? No problem, one command, and they got /fly. A member is unable to use /home? Easy, one command, and its fixed. A new person enters the server, and says he is from planet minecraft, to review servers? No problem. One command, and he is on the ban list!
Why do you want to make a server in the first place?:
I love making permissions, managing plugins, moderating the server, I really want to create a community for people to join, play at and have fun at. But the biggest reason is probably that I think it's really hard to find a server that is EXACTLY like I want it. So I thought: "if I can't find the perfect server, why not make the perfect server?" So that's exactly what I want to do. I like towns, where people can build houses on their plots. I like having some minigames like paintball, hunger games, pvp and mobarena, but I don't really want them to be on separate servers. I like when players have the ability to buy/sell in a shop, and I want a survival world to play in, as well as maybe a creative world to test some redstone or build nice houses on. This is what I want in a server. This is what I'd put in MY server!
Would you stay with me as you progress? Would you leave? Different plan?:
I would stay with you of course. I like to cooperate with people, and I would describe myself as easy to cooperate with as well. We could make a great server together, and we would be equal in the cooperation between us. Of course, the minecraft interest is something that comes and goes. I might quit minecraft. Or the server might get low on donations. There is always a risk that I have to go for some reason, that I might not even know yet. Like when I go to "videregående" as its called in Norway, which is kind of like college, but a year later. I might still be able to play, but I might not have as much time. That's a possible reason for me to leave. But lets just face it. We all have a risk of leaving, even you! I didn't really think this far when I wrote the application the first time. But in the closest future, I won't leave you. I will stay loyal, until a reason comes that makes me have to leave. You will then know why, and I will help you find a new owner for the server.
Why don't you just buy your own server? Why do you need to use this one?:
I am generally not the kind of guy that uses money on stuff like this. I'm not really rich either, or come from a rich family. I'm not saying we're poor, but we don't have THAT much money. I'm not able to pay lots of money on a montly basis, and since I don't have PayPal, and I'm not able to get it, I can't rechieve donations either, which makes it even harder for me to be able keep the server up. I make around 30$ each month, norwegian money. This is not enough to buy a server, considering that I have other stuff to use my money on as well. So that's basicly why I'm unable to buy a host myself.
Have any special skills?(Building, Developing, Etc):
I'm not that good at building, or developing plugins, but I think my skills lays in managing plugins, creating permissions, designing websites and moderating server. I am also creative, so I can find out great stuff to have on the server, and when I have a server, I know exactly how I want it to be! I also learn fast, by this I mean mainly commands, but also other stuff. If someone teaches me something, I learn it in no time. I am also trying to learn how to make logos with Adobe Illustrator, so I might be able to make a nice-looking logo for the server in the future as well. I also have people-skills, and many people describes me as nice. At least that's what I've heard. One thing is getting people to come on the server, but if you want the players to stay, you need to be nice, treat players equally, and let them speak, listen to their ideas, and don't act like they're less worth than you. You need to show them why this is the best server, why they should stay and what they can do here.
How do you plan on getting donations and staff members?:
For donations, I would firstly have to make groups, but registering PayPal and such is something you'd have to do. I would make this groups have perks. LIke /fly, /enderchest, and other stuff. Lets say the group donator, has the prefix [Donator], and they are able to use /enderchest, /kit donator, and some other stuff. And I also have a group called VIP, with the prefix [[VIP], that can use /fly, and /kit vip, and again, some other stuff that I will come up with then. When it comes to staff, I would post on minecraftforums.net and planetminecraft.com what I need, what server this is, and make them fill out an application. Then I would have an interview through chat in MC, skype or somewhere else if possible. I would also set up an application on the website, and I guess and hope you're using enjin. I would also like to know if you will pay for domain as well, or if we would keep it as: servername.enjin.com.
How do you plan on going out donations?(How are you going to get them?):
I will advertise through server, and in spawn to tell what perks they get. Maybe I'd give the first five to join the server a free donation, just so they can tell about their perks and show and we'd pretty much get free commercial! I would have an auto-broadcaster telling about the donation-ranks and perks, and maybe have one of those popular donation-walls in spawn, and try to find a plugin that can easily show them the kits. I saw this on another server I was on. On this walls, they will see what perks they get, what donation rank they get, what price they have to pay, and what they get through the kit of that specific group.
Estimated projection time for server?(4 weeks, 5 days, Etc):
This is what I would probably be done with on the server, and when:
4-7 days: Permissions and main plugins would be done. This is a really short process, since I know the commands and such very well, so this might even get finished earlier.
2-weeks: Most staff and builders will hopefully be hired, and spawn should be built, or at least we have started building on it. I will have a building-crew to help with this, but I have to point out that builders won't automaticly get staff-ranks when the server is published, asbuilder-material isn't always staff-material! I've probably created the main survival world, and maybe made a small spawn there too. Please note that this is not a huge spawn, maybe just 10x10 area with some signs telling about important features like protectionstones and lockette, which I will most likely be using. I probably will start making the website during this week too, hopefully.
3-weeks: All staff are hired. Shops and a couple of towns are made. Hopefully a banner-guy has made a banner for us. server is ready to be published! We will upload the server on different sites on the internet, like pmc, minecraftservers.org and other servers. The website should be done.
4-weeks: Hopefully the paintball, mobarena and pvparena, are done building and the server is complete!
2-3 months: Maybe the server has grown, and I have made hungergames, skywars, and maybe a creative world. But of course, I can always hope for the server to grow big, but I can't be sure.
Estimated time: 3 weeks for publish, 4-weeks for fully complete server. 2-3 months for a grown community, with several plugins and stuff added. Many people like the server an keep joining, and maybe it's even grown into a
hub. At least this is my hopes and dreams for the server.
NB: Making a server is work I can't really put a proper finished-date on. This could take longer to do, or maybe I'd even get done faster. I am not sure how it will be during the summer vacation, but I know I'm going to Sweden, and to my cabin (I know, cabin, typical norwegians.) But I don't think this is for more then maybe 2 weeks, both together, so I will have lots of time to use on the server.
Which country do you live in?:
Trondheim, Norway.
Contact Info(Skype Preferably):
I do have skype: brags1232, but I don't really do voice-chats unless 100% nessecarily. I have a hotmail too, but I'm hardly ever on, so I don't think there's any good reason to give you this.
Bad history:
The first server I was ever on, a couple of years ago, was a norwegian server. Hardwork. After a while, a friend showed me, and another friend something. "X-ray." We used this, and I felt bad abot it. So bad I admitted the whole story to a staff-member. Another day, not long after, we got banned. Permanently. I regret that action, and it never happened again. Ever! After this, I became admin once, mod once, I even got my own server 3 times! The owners that accepted me as staff knew about this, and were happy with my work! I see no reason you shouldn't be as well.
Best regards:
Brage/brag123.

Also, since the new EULA will deny game-affecting donations, we will be unable to do the perks I talked about. However, trough the FAQ, I have noticed that they do allow cosmetic donation-perks. This means we can give a donation group a prettier prefix, chat will automaticly have another color, maybe add pets and we could allow those players to use /nick, or /hat. All of these will give them status, and they will look better, but it won't affect the game, or any other game-features!

I've been here for a loooooooooong time.
How come you haven't answered my question?
I'm so cool cause I say I'm cool like all the cool kids.
Simply too lazy to start yet another server, I feel like giving people with great ideas a chance at something big. I wouldn't have made such a detailed and thorough application had this been a scam. I'd be willing to get involved with a partner if you do infact think this is a scam. Thanks, Maph.
But when does the "post die down"? When will the server get started?
"Post dying down" simply means when all the people who have seen it, and want to apply, have had the chance to do so. The "winner" will be announced at the death of this post, so to speak.
Yes, the server is still available. Please fill out an application.
