Project name: Bauernhof

Project location (Live map link, coordinates, not biome, include world name): Live Map (has not updated since wall was completed)

Contributors: Fireball4801

Mayor / zone owner (Only one - this is the zone owner): Fireball4801

Approximate dimensions: I really do not know, However it is fairly large and curves all over the place

Requested Flags: no block edit (including snow fall), no monster spawning, no edit of entities

Number of active residents (if applicable): myself

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: 12

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any: A third complete, creating more farms and housing as well as miscellaneous buildings.

Why should we grant this project protection? It is a continuation of my kingdom build, and as large as it is I do not want to spend time having to find every little break that someone created, since it is a public build and I have put a lot of detail and effort into this build.

Why you should become a moderator:
I've been on the server very consistently for around two and a half years without any bans, and I feel that I know the rules as well as the people in the community very well.  I currently try my hardest to help people out, but being trusted rank I am limited as to what I can do.  Many times that I am on there are no staff members, so I feel that my timing on the server would work well with the current staff.  I prefer playing on SMP over Creative, so that's where I currently- and will continue to- devote most of my time spent on Opticraft.

Contributors: Approximately 30, too many to list names

Mayor / zone owner (Only one - this is the zone owner): FIREBALL4801

Approximate dimensions: 200x200

Number of active residents (if applicable): None as of yet, still under construction

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: 39 at the moment, along with an enormous church, very large and decorated walls and entrances and an intricate flooring for the castle itself.

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any: project is still somewhat near beginning stage, with many many more buildings and designs to come

Why should we grant this project protection? It's a very large area to monitor alone, much too large for protection stones, and with all the effort we've put into this I'd rather it not get grieved without me noticing.  Also, it is public and accessible now and when completed, with no restrictions on where you can go, so we would like to not have to constantly take rounds to take note of every single detail.

Why you should become a moderator: I already try to help people on the server as much as I can, and I feel that getting mod would increase my ability to do so.  I've been on the server pretty consistently for about two years now, and I have no bans. A lot of times i'm on, there are no mods on, just trusted, member, and guest.

super497, Kurdman899 and I are making a medieval town at /home fireball4801 castle.  It's no where near finished yet, but so far we have a small section bordered off with walls and filled with medieval germanic housing.  We currently have a four houses each varying in size and shape, an inn, blacksmith's home/workspace, and a military watch tower/barrack.  We plan to expand the walls quite a bit, making the area much larger, and the shape of it more complex than just a simple square.  Eventually there are going to be many more buildings added such as a palace, a farm house with fields, a watermill, a barn with stables, church, courtyard, well, and many more houses.  When you go to the home, you will teleport into a little viewing stand, which will be there until the project is complete and we apply for city protection. Donations are very appreciated as this will be a huge project for the three of us to collect for.  Look out the viewing station and don't be afraid to give your honest opinion, we want to make this as amazing as we can.
