My thoughts on everything added that'll be in next week's snapshot:
Invisibility: Pvp pwnage.
Nightvision: Finally, i'm able to build at night without spamming torches to see.
Frames: Yay mounted clocks! Also yay easier chest organization!
Cobblestone Fences: They look amazing. Now do brick fences!

What you are best at in Minecraft: Building buildings
What you are worst at in Minecraft: PvP
Clan you wish to join and why: Calchester, diplomacy should always come before violence. (also it needs more people)
Why you want to join this SMP: Unique premise, roleplaying, working together. It seems like an actually good clan server.

- The picture looks like someone smeared dirty fingerprints all over it. Some people like filters like this but others don't. I'd advise asking if peeps want a filter before applying one if you're opening a shop. Same goes for the lens flare.
- Add some anti-ailasing. Anti-ailasing makes lines look much smoother as it gets rid of the visible pixels on lines and as a result makes images look much nicer.
- This doesn't look rendered at all. It looks like you took a screenshot with shaders, made a pose in mineimator and pasted it over the screenshot. First of all the background is a low quality blurry mess and the higher quality character in the center makes that a lot clearer. Secondly if this was a render then why isn't the character shaded like the land surrounding him?

The only thing I know about it is it's a vanilla survival server with 11 peeps that'll do events every now and then. That info alone isn't enough to get some peeps to even apply for a server like this (at least me anyway). If you were to give us some more info about the server other than the info presented at the moment, than more people would probably apply. Even some screenshots would attract more peeps then just plain text. Screenshots show people how developed the server is which could be vital info to some as some people prefer joining servers in the beginning, but some prefer joining after the server's been up for a while. Sure it might be a slight pain, but if you wanna attract more than 3 people then you should at least show people why this server is different from the 100's of other "100% Vanilla Survival" servers.
Also telling us the general age of everyone would be great. It'd be kinda hard for a 14 year old to relate to people who are in their 20's-30's.

If so, you'd be unable to do two things at once holding a sword. As for now you'll be able to for example hold a sword in one hand and a throwable potion or an enderpearl in the second. Once you right click you'll throw the potion or the ender pearl. You really want to not have this ability?
Why not only being able to block with a sword when you have nothing in your offhand? If you had something in your offhand right click would use the item in your offhand first.

Reason For Applying: I've always wanted to help a server from it's humble beginnings and to see it grow. It'll also be a great opportunity to increase my building skills.
About Me: I'm a firm but fair guy. I can do decent exteriors but I'm better with interiors. I also know the basics of world edit.
Experience: Since I recently got into minecraft, I lost all previous screenshots of builds I've done in the past, but I was able to make something and get a couple of screenshots of it. Album here.
Intentions After Server Opens: I'd want to become a mod/admin that can help with builds. I am perfectly fine with remaining as a builder though.

It sounds like a unique experiment that I'd like to partake in. I have both Skype and Teamspeak. Will you be using a whitelist or will you be letting anyone in?
Also make some paragraphs in the main post.

Why Do You Want To Join: I've never played on servers during beta due do having a cracked account at the time. Now that I have (well had) a premium account I figured why not see what a beta server was like.

Comments/Concerns: I would advise not being so slack with apps, such as with JohnJ1101. He didn't even give you his age or why he wanted to join, which both are required according to your whitelist app.

Why do you want to join my server?: I've been searching for a community oriented vanilla server for over a year now. I was on one 1-2 years ago, but when it shut down I haven't been able to find a server quite like it. I was hoping I could find the same experience as that one on this server.
What are you going to contribute to my server?: I'll help anyone that needs it if I can. I also know basic redstone.
What are your experiences with Minecraft?: I've been playing since the day beta 1.5 came out. I've just came back from a long break and I'm getting into it again.
How good at you at building/What do you enjoy doing?: I'm a decent builder that tries not to make ugly things. I also love spelunking and helping people out.
What is your definition of Maturity?: Knowing what the right thing to do at the right time is, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Also not spouting poop jokes like a firehose.
Do you have Teamspeak?: Yes. I also have Skype if the need for it arises.
Questions or comments about the server: Putting up some screenshots or even a video in the main post would be great for people to see what the server's like. Also if you're the only admin you might wanna get another to look after the server if you're not on.

IRL Name: Nicholas (feel free to call me either Nick or Magic)
Mini Bio: I'm a 15 year old sophomore (well I will be when school starts up again). I've been playing Minecraft since the day beta 1.5 came out. I like dark humor, exploring and figuring out new tricks. I dislike mayonnaise, fighter games and squeakers. I have both Skype (Magic Rasin) and Teamspeak 3 and I'm willing to use either of them (I have a decent mic).
If you want to
interrogatequestion me for more info feel free to pm me. Thanks for taking the time to read this!0
Youtube channel (if you have one) and if you plan to record: I have a channel but I won't be recording (would murder my already mediocre fps).
Minecraft username: MagicRasin
Your age: 15
How often do you get on Minecraft?: Almost every day.
Why do you want to join this server?: I can't stand single player anymore; it's just too boring and modding it makes it abysmally slow.. Also it's been a really long time since I've played with an active and friendly community on a server.
Tell me a little bit about yourself: My name is Nicholas, but you can either call me Nick or Magic. I'm a fairly mature teen who likes helping others out. I like waffles, exploring, drawing, building with lego and gaming.
What is your favorite thing to do in an SMP community?: Living together in a town that we all made.
What is your least favorite thing about SMP communities?: The bad eggs and how communities die off after a while.
Have you read the rules and do you agree to them?: Yes and yes.
Do you have TeamSpeak and are you willing to use it?: I do and I am.
What is your Skype?: Magic Rasin
Were you referred by an existing SlipMine SMP player?: Nope.
Do you have any questions for me about the community or the server?: How active/friendly is everyone & how long has the server been up?

Country: 'Murica
How long have you been playing Minecraft: 3 years
Why do you want to join: I've been looking for a vanilla survival server with a good and mature community for quite a bit.
Why should we accept you: I'm a friendly guy who'll help out anyone in need. I'm mature and respectful of others and I abide by the rules.
What are your best minecraft skills: I'm decent at parkour and PvP. I'm also good at planning how towns should be set up.
What do you want to do on the server: I'd like to start my first giant project on this server. (shh... it's a secret...)
Will you join the Teamspeak: Sure. I find talking better than using in game chat.
Youtube: I have one but I don't do anything with it.
Tell me about yourself: As stated above, I'm a mature and overall friendly person. I'll help anyone that needs it as long as it isn't ludicrous. I like listening to trance and house music but I'll occasionally listen to some swing or 80's pop music. I enjoy reading a lot and I always seem to dislike book -> movie adaptions. I'm not afraid to try new things. Heck I'd be glad to test out some kind of redstone mechanism if they need a test dummy.
