Hey, I"m KC and I'm gonna review what I, uh... think is supposed to be an application?
So firstly, you might want to try actually reading the OP and what's required.
I'll do my best to break down what's wrong here.
You haven't labeled your questions. "I'm none for encouraging people" uh.... what? Are you saying you're bad at encouraging people?
And long hair is great and all, but maybe you do wanna tell use why considering the miniature size of your application. Not sure why it'd be relevant here though, it'd more fit into question 4.
SO, to sum up so far...
You haven't answered questions 2 and 3. At all.
and what seems to be question 4, but since it's not labeled it's hard to know.
1. Okay I guess, not really unique. You'll wanna elaborate on this.
2. I'm assuming you mean the fandom sense, but what does your friend Victoria have to do with interesting facts about YOU?
3. Well, alright. Elaborate, again.
4. How is this interesting or unique exactly?
5. Congrats I suppose, but we don't really want minecraft facts in this section.
Great that you really really want to get on the server, but you'll have to put in more effort than this.
And... this should be in your question 2, not slapped onto the end.
So, long story short, you're not accepted. How about actually applying this time?

Hi Diz, nice to meet you! I’m Hylian and today I’ll be reviewing your application.
Question 2:
Okay so, I’m glad you find the mod interesting, but this does not show why you want to join our server specifically. What do you like most about the mod? What other aspects of the sever do you find enjoyable? All of these things you mentioned can be done on your own with friends, which isn’t what we are looking for. I recommend checking out the server’s dynamic map and any of our videos on YouTube.
Question 3:
These are all good things to have and we’d rather you be nice all the time, but it’s great you have a sense of humor and a bit of seriousness. Despite me saying this, would you please explain this a bit more? Like what have you built or done that shows off your building and other skills? But I am glad you think you are a great person.
Question 4:
Fact 1: This is a cool fact, I’m sorry you had to give your old dog up but it’s nice that you got a new one!
Fact 2: Baseball is a nice sport, Red Sox fan here.
Fact 3: It’s cool that you want to help teach kids, but why a math teacher specifically?
Fact 4: This is nice but should be combined with the previous fact, since they are both about school
Fact 5: Another math fact, which should really be combined with fact 3 as well
Question 5:
Okay cool, this works and is from the Creed.
Question 6:
You forgot question 6.
CONCLUSION: So sadly, this application does not grant you entrance into the server. But, look this review over and edit your first one and you’ll have a better chance at getting in. Thank you and I hope you try again!
2. The reason I would like to join the server is because I really like the Gulliver Mod. I think it adds nice perspective to the game and I would really like to play it with others. This is the Gulliver server I find being the biggest and friendliest (mostly judging by the trailer). It also seems to be the server that has the nicest community, and I would really want to be a part of that community too!
3. Well first off, my building skills are quite good (at times :P) and I'm pretty friendly, for the most part. I am usually a very happy person and I'm not afraid to help others. I believe I will be on the server for a long time if it's as good as I have seen. I think these skills an traits will help raise the mood of the server and help contribute to the overall atmosphere.
4. I have an apple tree plant named Xavier. (It's not weird to name your plants, is it?)
Another strange fact is, I have a Pringles tube collection of 32 tubes. Everyone has their own hobby :P.
I like reading SCP articles and it's what I mostly do in my spare time. SCP-096 is my favourite one.
For some reason I am really good at breaking headphone cables. I have broken about 8 different ones and recently a whole headset.
I am very interested about space and the unexplored. I find space scary and amazing and would gladly accept a one way mission into space.
5. 6. Please refrain from the act of griefing or vandalism on private property, as well as wholesale destruction of public property.
6. It's Cheese. Gud stuff.
Ey! Sorry it's been a couple of days. This weekend has been a tad hectic. For me, at least, anywho.
Anyway, let's get to it!
Your reason to join looks pretty sound! I would like to add, though, that we're hardly the Gulliver server, or at least the only one. Granted, I suppose this mod's so old there aren't many public servers hosting it, these days. ^^;
Your next answer is realistic, and I can respect that. There's nothing particularly great here, I'll admit, but it works.
Your random facts all look great, though! Both just as a matter of getting you applied and it's all very interesting. Wouldn't say naming a plant is weird, either, for the record
Your answers to 5. and 6. also look solid!
Overall, your application seems to check out! You're clear for a whitelist, and I believe I've gotten that sorted out. Please let me know if you can't join due to whitelisting reasons. ^^;
1. My minecraft username is and always will be, jjemerald.
2. I would like to join your community because, I feel as though this is one of the only gulliver mod communities left.
I enjoy the gullivers mod and I hope to meet other people who enjoy it as well on this server. (Sorry about the run-on's, it's 4 AM)
this seems like a nice server to me, I hope I don't miss out on this opportunity.
3. One of the things that would help me fit in is my personality, I always seem to fit in server communities just right. I've been
on pixelspark pixelmon for about 2 years now, that has pushed me to meet a lot of people and enjoy my life as a whole even better.
I can be a skilled builder, I enjoy doing small builds with detail.
(4.)1. I recently got a switch on launch (it's amazing!)
I'm a well known helper on the pixelspark server I had mentioned.
I have a pikachu onesie that I continue to wear around my house.
I have the best girlfriend ever.
I have been playing single player gulliver since 2013.
5. please refrain from the act of greifing or vandalism on private property, as well as wholesale destruction of public property.
6. Cheese :3
...Well, first things first: I strongly suggest you don't fill out a whitelist application at 4am.
Now onto the actual application, itself
As for your answer to question 2... I always look for a reason that doesn't relate to the Gulliver mod, as that suggests you've actually watched some of our server videos and have some idea of what you're getting into beyond the Gulliver mod aspects of this server. Until something of that sort is added I'll have to say this section isn't quite satisfactory.
In this next answer, you mention your personality helps you fit in... but you kind of gloss over what your personality is. Seems a tad important to try summarizing, don't you think?
As for your random facts...
-What made you want to get a Nintendo Switch, all things considered?
-Please find a fact that does not relate to Minecraft
-Is there a reason you could attribute to this behavior? Rather, why do you like Pikachu so much, do you think?
-...Again, is there a reason?
-Again, please find a fact that does not relate to Minecraft, as fascinating as that is.
Overall, for your facts in particular, note my questions: when you replace those facts with proper random facts, keep that idea in mind. Why you like/do something is more important than what you like/do.
Anyway, your answers to questions five and six are all good.
But, overall, I can't whitelist you with your application in its current state. It's very fixable, however, if you follow this review. Just modify as I've asked and repost the application when you're ready (hopefully with a careful review of your own when it's not incredibly early in the morning. ^^ )
Well, thank you for taking your time to review my app, but this was supposed to be re-revised by ultra viper, sorry if this created any problem, I always mess things up.
2. I want to get into this community because, I've always enjoyed this mod, never mattered to me the update or my frames per second, I just really want to join this server.
3. My personality is kind of funny at times (as I've mentioned). But, behind it all, I always mess up, I actually don't remember many times in my life where I haven't dropped a ball when I was supposed to throw it to a teammate, or spilled my blue drink all over the white carpet. But I want a new start, I want somewhere where I can feel new, as if nobody knows how much I mess up.
4. I hope you get one, I could add you as a friend.
I have AD-HD And they are trying to get me something like a fidget cube to help my concentration.
Mudkip is my favorite, because, he was the first Pokemon I ever chose, I grew up with
Pokemon Emerald on my game boy advanced, I saw him and immediately chose him. (blue was my favorite color at the time, now it's green)
I've enjoyed writing these apps (my third time) it's actually quite fun, haven't wrote apps since I applied for helper on pixelspark.
I can't quite pick a favorite Amiibo, but if I had to pick, I guess it would be the Ocarina of time link, because ocarina is one of my favorite games.
5. Please refrain from the act of griefing or vandalism on private property, As well as the act of wholesale destruction of public property.
2. I want to join this server, because I've watched the trailer 40 times, I enjoy
the mod, and I want to meet new friends. The trailer stood out to me, because it showed
the mods features, as long as the servers original features.
3. As for minecraft talents: I am very skilled at budding Star Wars themed things in minecraft, I can build an X-wing, The Deathstar, And Even An AT-AT.
im also skilled at pvp, and I'm looking forward to seeing what big vs small pvp is like.
If you want me to rewrite the rest, I can, but just leave a reply for that.
2. I want to join because of the trailer, the special options of the mod, meeting new people and I wanna see the pvp.
3. As for minecraft skills, I'm only really good at minecraft, I can build Star Wars, make a winning arrow shot, or even build the Death Star.
im. Not very good at anything outside of minecraft, as I've stated in previous apps.
4. I hope you get one, I could add you as a friend.

I imagine this'll probably get taken down, but oh well.
While I can't think of any less, ah, overzealous large-scale Minecraft server that runs Gulliver, I thought I'd point people to the "Minecraft Me" server as an example of running a server done right. Unlike quite a few public, non-whitelisted servers, it doesn't have irksome things like donation benefits or other vaguely "pay-to-win" elements. Instead, it is a peaceful, pleasant server where people work together and the mods are likable. There are rules, and these rules are enforced; the server is a well-run, amicable environment, kept free of griefers and other unpleasant people without restricting access to the public.
The point I'm trying to make is that it is, in fact, possible to have a server with a strong, pleasant community without overzealous moderators and a strict (and somewhat laughable) application process. Perhaps it's a bit silly to bar access to people who make spelling mistakes or grammar errors? It seems rather absurd to take the time to type complete, well-structured sentences in an online chat in a game, so why should it then be expected for them to do so on an online forum for the same game? Furthermore, the questions are unnecessary. People want access to the server because they like Minecraft, they like the Gulliver mod, and they want to enjoy the mod with a larger community.
Big Sister is alarmingly pretentious and strict for a server for a sandbox game.

Looking at you, ciabatta!
Who me? But I'm actually retired so I don't run this server anymore, hence why you haven't seen me do any kind of whitelist reviews recently. ;P
If you have any kind of complaints, I would take it up with the current server owners as they are more likely to take your words into consideration. For more information about the current staff structure, you can check out this page:
But for the uninitiated that may be reading this, I'll offer my own two cents on Jester's feedback.... ^^
1) Nope, as a matter of protocol, we only request to take down posts that are threatening, or are full of innuendo or vulgarity, but criticism is perfectly okay. You're probably the 100th person that's posted their grievances since our inception.
2) As I understand it, the Minecraft Me server is a vanilla MInecraft server, not a Gulliver Server... that may seem like a trivial matter, but due to issues outside of our control Gulliver tends to be a magnet for people with problematic intentions [shall we say]. In our first year the whitelist application reviews were done rather more generously, and as a result we had a lot of problems with a lot of unsavory people abusing of that trust [shall we say]. So the tighter standards were not established straight off, but were an evolutionary response to the ever present and real threat of indecency, and has definitely grown to be our first line of defense. A lot things that may seem ridiculous to someone not-in-the-know are in fact carefully crafted to gauge the personality type of the applicant; and in fact, it's been successful at weeding out people with explosive intentions (either figuratively or literally).
And if it makes us look bad, well more power to us... that makes us more like a humble porcupine filled to the brim with quills. Sure, no one likes us, but they generally leave us alone too, so that works out in the end.
3) Minecraft Me also has the advantage of not being tied to Minecraft 1.6.4 (I believe), so it can take advantage of newer built-in security features, or proper security plugins. That's not entirely possible given our setup with Gulliver, so we have to compensate with a more traditional security apparatus.
4) We haven't requested donations either (other than having people donate their time), so that's just in case Jester may have inadvertently assumed we do. In fact, a big reason why the server is closing in January 2018 is because it's no longer financially-worth maintaining a 5 year old server that few people barely play with anymore, so it's time to close shop. In contrast, most of the players HAVE moved on to Little Brother and that is constantly active, so in the coming weeks and months you'll see that server slowly supplant all of Big Sister's resources.
That's unfortunate to hear that you do not wish to re-apply, but we wish you the best in your minecraft "career" you do not need to apologize!

As for your answer to question 2... I always look for a reason that doesn't relate to the Gulliver mod, as that suggests you've actually watched some of our server videos and have some idea of what you're getting into beyond the Gulliver mod aspects of this server. Until something of that sort is added I'll have to say this section isn't quite satisfactory.
In this next answer, you mention your personality helps you fit in... but you kind of gloss over what your personality is. Seems a tad important to try summarizing, don't you think?
As for your random facts...
-What made you want to get a Nintendo Switch, all things considered?
-Please find a fact that does not relate to Minecraft
-Is there a reason you could attribute to this behavior? Rather, why do you like Pikachu so much, do you think?
-...Again, is there a reason?
-Again, please find a fact that does not relate to Minecraft, as fascinating as that is.
Overall, for your facts in particular, note my questions: when you replace those facts with proper random facts, keep that idea in mind. Why you like/do something is more important than what you like/do.
Anyway, your answers to questions five and six are all good.
But, overall, I can't whitelist you with your application in its current state. It's very fixable, however, if you follow this review. Just modify as I've asked and repost the application when you're ready (hopefully with a careful review of your own when it's not incredibly early in the morning. ^^ )
Good luck!
Alright, thanks. :3

2. I'm looking forward to a new minecraft community, pixelspark is getting kind of old for me.
I would like to join your server because, i am going through tough things atm, and I need something
for me to keep my mind off of them.
3. My personality is kind of funny, I like to randomly yell on Ts, my friends don't mind.
Other then Ts, I'm normally quiet. I don't talk much, which helps me not get in trouble at school.
i think I would fit in, because this server seems very enjoyable, and if I have friends on here, it'll
help me forget the bad things in my life.
4. I got a switch because of Mario oddessy, it reminds me of Mario 64 (my favorite game ever:)
i actually Don't like pikachu that much. I prefer mudkip, there was no mudkip onesie. :3
I have AD-HD, this fact doesn't relate to minecraft
My girlfriend is very sweet, she cares a butt load for me.
I have lots of amiibos that I've collected at various stores.
I'm going to keep the five and six answers then, if that's alright.
Well, thank you for taking your time to review my app, but this was supposed to be re-revised by ultra viper, sorry if this created any problem, I always mess things up.
1. jjemerald
2. I want to get into this community because, I've always enjoyed this mod, never mattered to me the update or my frames per second, I just really want to join this server.
3. My personality is kind of funny at times (as I've mentioned). But, behind it all, I always mess up, I actually don't remember many times in my life where I haven't dropped a ball when I was supposed to throw it to a teammate, or spilled my blue drink all over the white carpet. But I want a new start, I want somewhere where I can feel new, as if nobody knows how much I mess up.
4. I hope you get one, I could add you as a friend.
I have AD-HD And they are trying to get me something like a fidget cube to help my concentration.
Mudkip is my favorite, because, he was the first Pokemon I ever chose, I grew up with
Pokemon Emerald on my game boy advanced, I saw him and immediately chose him. (blue was my favorite color at the time, now it's green)
I've enjoyed writing these apps (my third time) it's actually quite fun, haven't wrote apps since I applied for helper on pixelspark.
I can't quite pick a favorite Amiibo, but if I had to pick, I guess it would be the Ocarina of time link, because ocarina is one of my favorite games.
5. Please refrain from the act of griefing or vandalism on private property, As well as the act of wholesale destruction of public property.

I solved it once, but it took forever.

2. I want to join this server, because I've watched the trailer 40 times, I enjoy
the mod, and I want to meet new friends. The trailer stood out to me, because it showed
the mods features, as long as the servers original features.
3. As for minecraft talents: I am very skilled at budding Star Wars themed things in minecraft, I can build an X-wing, The Deathstar, And Even An AT-AT.
im also skilled at pvp, and I'm looking forward to seeing what big vs small pvp is like.
If you want me to rewrite the rest, I can, but just leave a reply for that.

2. I want to join because of the trailer, the special options of the mod, meeting new people and I wanna see the pvp.
3. As for minecraft skills, I'm only really good at minecraft, I can build Star Wars, make a winning arrow shot, or even build the Death Star.
im. Not very good at anything outside of minecraft, as I've stated in previous apps.
4. I hope you get one, I could add you as a friend.

I can be a skilled builder, I enjoy doing small builds with detail.

I imagine this'll probably get taken down, but oh well.
While I can't think of any less, ah, overzealous large-scale Minecraft server that runs Gulliver, I thought I'd point people to the "Minecraft Me" server as an example of running a server done right. Unlike quite a few public, non-whitelisted servers, it doesn't have irksome things like donation benefits or other vaguely "pay-to-win" elements. Instead, it is a peaceful, pleasant server where people work together and the mods are likable. There are rules, and these rules are enforced; the server is a well-run, amicable environment, kept free of griefers and other unpleasant people without restricting access to the public.
The point I'm trying to make is that it is, in fact, possible to have a server with a strong, pleasant community without overzealous moderators and a strict (and somewhat laughable) application process. Perhaps it's a bit silly to bar access to people who make spelling mistakes or grammar errors? It seems rather absurd to take the time to type complete, well-structured sentences in an online chat in a game, so why should it then be expected for them to do so on an online forum for the same game? Furthermore, the questions are unnecessary. People want access to the server because they like Minecraft, they like the Gulliver mod, and they want to enjoy the mod with a larger community.
Big Sister is alarmingly pretentious and strict for a server for a sandbox game.
Looking at you, ciabatta!
Who me? But I'm actually retired so I don't run this server anymore, hence why you haven't seen me do any kind of whitelist reviews recently. ;P
If you have any kind of complaints, I would take it up with the current server owners as they are more likely to take your words into consideration. For more information about the current staff structure, you can check out this page:

But for the uninitiated that may be reading this, I'll offer my own two cents on Jester's feedback.... ^^
1) Nope, as a matter of protocol, we only request to take down posts that are threatening, or are full of innuendo or vulgarity, but criticism is perfectly okay. You're probably the 100th person that's posted their grievances since our inception.
2) As I understand it, the Minecraft Me server is a vanilla MInecraft server, not a Gulliver Server... that may seem like a trivial matter, but due to issues outside of our control Gulliver tends to be a magnet for people with problematic intentions [shall we say]. In our first year the whitelist application reviews were done rather more generously, and as a result we had a lot of problems with a lot of unsavory people abusing of that trust [shall we say]. So the tighter standards were not established straight off, but were an evolutionary response to the ever present and real threat of indecency, and has definitely grown to be our first line of defense. A lot things that may seem ridiculous to someone not-in-the-know are in fact carefully crafted to gauge the personality type of the applicant; and in fact, it's been successful at weeding out people with explosive intentions (either figuratively or literally).
And if it makes us look bad, well more power to us... that makes us more like a humble porcupine filled to the brim with quills. Sure, no one likes us, but they generally leave us alone too, so that works out in the end.
3) Minecraft Me also has the advantage of not being tied to Minecraft 1.6.4 (I believe), so it can take advantage of newer built-in security features, or proper security plugins. That's not entirely possible given our setup with Gulliver, so we have to compensate with a more traditional security apparatus.
4) We haven't requested donations either (other than having people donate their time), so that's just in case Jester may have inadvertently assumed we do. In fact, a big reason why the server is closing in January 2018 is because it's no longer financially-worth maintaining a 5 year old server that few people barely play with anymore, so it's time to close shop. In contrast, most of the players HAVE moved on to Little Brother and that is constantly active, so in the coming weeks and months you'll see that server slowly supplant all of Big Sister's resources.
And I think that should be all. ;D
