General Discussion / My Goodbye/Resignation
« on: October 06, 2013, 10:48:23 pm »
"It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure." Ernie Harwell
According to the forums, I've been a member since May 31st of 2012. It's absolutely crazy to think about how fast time goes by. Recently, I have personally reflected on my journey here on Opticraft. I still to this day remember the first time I logged on, the first time I put in a helpop, and the very first house I built. I remember the excited reaction I had when I received the trusted status and the same reaction when I was promoted to moderator for the first time.

I have been a part of this community long enough to make good friends and meet great and strong people. Recently within the last month or so, I have lost my love for Minecraft. It’s funny how all this time I have thought that was a lame excuse to leave, and now here I am leaving because of it. But that isn’t the only reason why I have taken the time to write this resignation and goodbye. As I grow older, I realize how little of "free-time" I have and how occupied my life is nowadays.

I personally think it is my turn to say goodbye and resign. Last time I resigned, I knew I would be coming back some time in the near future but this time I don’t know if I will ever be able to recover from my loss of interest plus my crazy busy schedule and come back. There is and always will be a part of my heart that will be with Opticraft.
Thank you for being like family to me. This journey has been incredible and I wouldn't take any of it back. Thank you for accepting me into this community and thank you for giving me the opportunity to become a moderator. But you never know, I may come back and visit sometime in the future.

Xoxo,
Winniedoxie

Why you should become a moderator:
The link to my first application- http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,12789.msg118733.html#msg118733
The link to my second application- http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,14024.msg132470.html#msg132470

Oh dear where do I start?
First of all, I resigned as a Moderator about 5 months ago. I fear demotion, and I sensed it was coming soon due to my lack of playing time. Ultimately I resigned, putting my life outside of Minecraft first.
I am currently on summer vacation  and I have more free time than I know what to do with. Nobody said being a moderator was easy, time and effort goes into moderation. I am willing to give both my time and effort into this once again. Allow me to be a moderator again, I won't let you down this time. I'm ready and willing to serve Opticraft again. Please allow me to make a positive impact on Opticraft once again. And this time I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
I am still familiar with the commands and log block. I have been around on Opticraft for a while now, and I am constantly learning new things and meeting new people. Even if I don't receive the position of moderator, I want to thank everyone for constantly supporting me with my desicions, helping me, and being a second family to me. Thank you!

Offtopic / What's the craziest thing you have ever done?
« on: October 27, 2012, 08:50:40 pm »
Just as the subject says, what's the craziest thing you have ever done?

I'll start, I ran 6 1/2 miles in mud with over 30 obstacles including 30 foot walls with only a rope to get over, mud slides, and barbed wire fences. It was intense.

What crazy things have you guys done?

Why you should become a moderator:
  
 First of all, I apologize in advance for not making this a short application.
This is what I like to call my comeback application. I admit, rejection hurts. My plan is to make a new and improved, compelling application. It has been exactly 14 days since my rejection. In that time, I have learned something very valuable. I have learned that instead of quitting after rejection, you should always come back a second time even stronger.  

“Falling down is how we grow. Staying down is how we die.”—Brian Vaszily


    I have been a part of this astounding community long enough to understand how this server functions and operates. Our community is different than other Minecraft server's communities. People here on Opticraft do not leave without a proper goodbye. Frankly, people who join cannot seem to leave without getting chocked up. I can honestly say I have no plans of leaving. It would be a true honor to be a part of the Opticraft staff.

“I am ready for this. If I didn’t have confidence, I wouldn’t take this long to type, perfect, and put in this application.” –Quote from my first application.

    I have recently taken the time to research log block. I am surprisingly familiar with it now. I am also on the forums just about every hour, literally. I understand the commitment that comes with this position, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be in game just about every single day for a few hours. I am also willing to be on in game longer if needed. I cannot stop thinking about moderating. I have mentally prepared myself for rejection and acceptation. I can honestly say I am prepared. I am warning you, giving up is not an option for me. You will see me back here with another compelling application if rejection strikes again.

    The main reason I am applying for moderator is purely because I like to volunteer my time to aid distressed players. I am also a mature, intelligent person. I think this position would be a perfect fit for me and what I like to do best. I guess you could say that I want this bad. I dream of having the ability to assist other players.

    Thank you again for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it. Also, it has officially been 2 weeks since my first rejection.

“If I receive the honor of becoming a Moderator, I promise I will give it 110% every single day. I will never give up on anyone nor will I let anyone down. I have had such a great experience on this incredible server. Even if I do not earn this rank today, I will still continue loving Opticraft. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.” –Quote from my first application.

Why you should become a moderator:
        It has been around 5 months since I joined Opticraft. My older brother introduced me to this incredible server. The first thing he said to me was “Don’t Grief!” I still follow that rule, and would never even dream of breaking it. After I got the feel for Opticraft, I signed up on the forums to become a Member. The day I became a Member, I made a promise to myself that I would never break any rules ever. Just about 2 or 3 months ago I became trusted. It was the greatest feeling to know that you are trusted by the staff members. The day I was promoted to the trusted rank, I was so excited to have the ability to place water for other players. After the first time I placed water for a player, I just wanted to place more. I admit that I spammed the chat a little bit with my “does anyone need water” messages. But after a while I realized that being trusted doesn’t give me the full advantage to help the community. I decided I want to take the next step, and become a Moderator. That’s a little background about me. Now here is the reason that I want to become a Moderator.
   I bet you didn’t notice that I capitalized the first letter of Moderator. Usually important words start with a capitalized letter; I strongly believe that Moderator is one of them. So are the words Operator, Admin, Owner, etc. I love helping other players. Some players love the mining aspect of the game, others like the building aspect. My favorite part is supporting and helping others with their problems, to ensure they are satisfied. I understand some players may not be appreciative but it won’t ever stop me. I’m not the kind of person that needs a “thank you” for every nice thing I do, just the feeling that I have done something right is enough for me. I am never satisfied until everyone else around me is happy.
   I am ready for this. If I didn’t have confidence, I wouldn’t take this long to type, perfect, and put in this application.
Honestly, Moderating is something I have never done before, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know what to expect. I realize it is a big step from being a simple trusted to a moderator with responsibility. I am willing to learn new things and take the next step. I am online just about every single chance I get. Even if I am away from my computer, I have the ability to check the forums on my phone. I am never able to stay away from Opticraft for more than a few hours.
If I receive the honor of becoming a Moderator, I promise I will give it 110% every single day. I will never give up on anyone nor will I let anyone down. I have had such a great experience on this incredible server. Even if I do not earn this rank today, I will still continue loving Opticraft. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Offtopic / The ant never dies...
« on: July 21, 2012, 09:29:01 pm »
Alright I saw this forum game a while back sonewhere and figured we could try it. So basically there is an ant and people try to kill the ant but the next poster finds a way to save or bring the ant back to life.
Example-
Person 1- Someone steps on the ant
Person 2- A vetranarian brought the ant back to life
Person 3-The ant was thrown into a swimming pool.
Person 4- A lifeguard gave CPR to the ant and brought it back to life
    So you either kill or revive the ant depending on the persons move above you.

My post- An anteater eats the ant

Now the next person figures out a way to bring the ant back to life

Offtopic / Super Awesome Game!
« on: June 24, 2012, 08:26:19 pm »
I am super bored and can't play Minecraft on my phone, soni decided to start a new game lol. I call it the super awesome game and honestly I have no idea why. So here are the rules. I say a word and you say the first thing that comes to your mind about the word someone said above you. So it will be like a chain. We'll see at the end if it all makes sense but if it's completely random, that's cool too.
Example-
Me- Hot Dog
Someone else- Weiner Dog
Someone else- Beagle
Someone else-Bagle
    Get it? Let's start.

First Word- Cheese Fries

My old account was Wildfire52 but that account was a friends and it was hacked into alot. So I decided to get my own account. In the game it is WinnieDoxie. I realized after the fact that I cant be a member on here unless I start a new forum account because this one is under Wildfire52. I really dont want to get a whole new forum account unless I have too. If anyone can help me out on changing this forum page to my new account let me know. Step by step instructions would be nice haha! Thank you so much!

Suggestions / Suggestion-Setting Places
« on: June 04, 2012, 04:15:55 pm »
Hey Everyone! I was playing on Opticraft and I had an idea... What if you could set more than 1 "home"? I have my primary home that I set, but then I built a second home on an island and I have to walk around and swim just to find it. I soon destroyed my second home just because it was such a hassle just to find it. I was wondering if maybe you could set multiple "homes". It doesnt have to be a home either, maybe it could just be a favorite location. Just let me know if this is possible.
Thanks!

Introductions / My attempt at an introduction :)
« on: June 04, 2012, 12:00:38 am »
Hey everyone! I'm Wildfire52. I started playing on the opticraft server a month or so ago. I honestly love this server so much! I find that on other servers people arent as dedicated and caring about there server or the people. Here on this server, I find that the operators, moderators, owners, etc. are so dedicated and loving of this server. I don't think any other server that I play on will be as perfect as Opticraft.
    Anyways, when I first started playing on the server I had no idea what "griefing" meant. My friend had to explain that whole concept to me. I am honestly afraid of getting banned and accidentally griefing! This may sound weird, but I have nightmares sometimes about accidentally building into someone's house and getting banned. I get chills when the auto ban thing comes up on the chat.
   My ultimate goal on this server is not to destroy but to build and add to the server. My other goal is to befriend everyone including moderators, operators, owners, etc. on this server. My last goal is to someday become trusted and to be higher ranked than what I am now.
   I don't really know what else to say except that I am putting my name out there and introducing myself!

Thanks!
-Wildfire52 :)

« on: June 02, 2012, 08:15:15 pm »
Hi! This is a suggestion/question. When I am exploring and I die I press /back to get all of my stuff back. But it always brings me back to a place I have been before where I died. I hope that makes sense but basically when I die and want to come back to where I was before... It doesnt work. Can anyone help me out there? Thanks!
