I was thinking about an event in the Creative server that utilizes the spleef arena. Perhaps we can create a spleef tournament, wether that could be 1v1, 2v2, ffa, or a variation of such games. I think this event could create a fun competitive atmosphere for all. If a lot of people like the idea, and that they would sign up for such an event, I am willing to run it on a weekend that is open for a lot of people. Feel free to comment and discuss below. I would like to see if all of the following can either answered or discussed.
 
1. Is this a good idea?
2. Ways this event could work (bracket, game modes, teams, ect.)
3. Would you participate?
4. When a good time to host this would be, if this event were to happen. I am EDT currently (GMT -4) and available most weekends from 8am to 8pm.

I'd like to hear what you guys think.
Discuss!

Why you should become an Operator: Being a very old player on the server, I have gotten to know so many people from so many different places in this server. I have had an excellent time. I feel I have contributed a lot, but not enough. As an Operator my main focus would likely be chat moderation, because of the lack of time I have had to get ingame. I am on minechat whenever I can and I would gladly help in the moderation of this server. I understand that me being ingame may contribute to actually achieving a rank, but being a part of this server means loads to me. I will certainly find time for ingame time for grief repairs and other things. Especially in the summer, I will have loads of time. I am on minechat almost every day of the week and I will continue to do just that. Even though I am not on the computer, I can contribute to the server with my phone as well. With Op, you can count on me to do the work.

Thank you for your consideration.

Why you should become an Operator: Being an active and dedicated player to the Opticraft community, I feel it is time to step up the game and make myself even more useful in the community. After receiving the recruit rank, I understand what it takes to become recruit, which will prove helpful in promoting other members. As an operator, I will be sure all players, friend or foe, follows the rules and is willing to carry out reasonable punishments if need be. As a player, I do whatever I can in my power to maintain a peaceful relationship throughout the community. I understand the responsibilities needed to be an Operator and I promise to fulfill those duties.
Thank you.

I know this is a rather random topic, but I thiught it was interesting nevertheless...

United Airlines Flight 232 was a McDonnald Douglas DC-10 taking off from Denver on the way to Philidelphia with a stopover at Chicago. Flight captian is Alfred Haynes, along with Dennis Fitch, who is a DC-10 instructor flying as a passenger who offered his assistance. Flying over Iowa flying at 37,000 feet, the turbofan on engine #2 (tail engine) disinigrated and debris from the explosion servered all 3 of the hydraulic lines. Hydraulics are used to control aircraft surfaces such as the ailerons, rudder, and elevator. Without all 3, the aircraft is pretty much a paper airplane with engines. The pilots fight with the controls but realise all of the hydraulics have failed. Knowing this, the pilots fight with the engines and request air traffic controllers to steer them away from the city. After they line up with the runway, Alfred kept a light mood in the cockpit and when the controller cleared him to land on any runway, he laughed and said, "You wanna be specific and make it a runway?" In the final seconds, the DC-10 is pretty much dropping torward the runway at a very high speed. Keep in mind, flaps and brakes do not work because all of the hydraulics are out. There is a field at the end of the runway, but there is no need of it, because just before touchdown, the plane rolled to the right, striking it's wing into the ground and sending a burst of flames erupt as the plane tumbled down the runway, the front and rear of the plane falling to pieces. Of the 296 passengers and crew on board, 186 survived. The sole reason for a high number of survivors in conparison to the 111 that perished is the pilots skill of landing the useless aircraft as best as they could. Other factors may have been the quick response of emergency services. Today, both pilots and passangers that survived the crash have supported each other is various ways and lead to happy lives. Sadly, Dennis Flitch died at the age of 69 in 2012 after a long battle with brain cancer.


United 232 Heavy, you are cleared to land on any runway.
You wanna be specific and make it a runway?

Thank you for reading.

Why you should become a moderator:

I am going to admit firsthand that I probably should not be doing this, as I have been inactive besides being on IRC for personal reasons. I decided to get back on now that Thanksgiving Break has started and - HEY! Mod apps are up! So here I am.

I have been trusted as of today for exactly one year now. I have been banned once in that one year, but i also have matured a lot too. As I am close to to being 13, I think I may be a good role model at times. I realize that I may not be 100% mature at all times, I will promise that I will learn from my mistakes that I've made previously and any that I could make in the future.

Yet another reason why I am here writing this is that I've been playing on Opticraft for well over a year now. I know the rules fairly well and has never committed grief. Anywhere. I want to keep it that way.

So thank you for reviewing my application and for your consideration.

before I begin, I want to thank you all for such a great year I spent with you guys. Its been an honor to have the privilege to apply in this column today. Thanks again to all that played with me throughout the year!

Why you should become a moderator: Being here in this great community for a little over a year and a half, I have made many buddies in the server and learned the rules and guidelines of all members to the pixel, and I am ready for another set of Rules and Guidelines that come with the Moderator position. In those guidelines, I am ready to do any responsibility needed at any given time. I am also ready to solve disputes. As school has started up, I may not be as active, but i try to be on at very least get on every other day. I also browse through the forums daily!

Thank you all for taking the time to read through my application.
