old builder app (with more builds): http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,20011.0.html

Names of players who helped contribute: (new builds) none, i got the circle diagrams for the sphere (for the main circles) from internet though.
Extra (Anything else you want to mention): I tried to show different skills than in my other builds in these builds, like terraforming and building more old-looking houses. The island build can be considered finished, in my opinion the sphere build is finished too but I could add some underground structures (as that space is currently unused).

Were you recommended by any staff?: Not that I know of, if you do please edit your name in here
Why you should become an Operator:
I have played on the creative server for a little over two months now, and been recruit for a timespan that is roughly the same. I noticed that the amount of european staff members is quite low. Most time I am online, there are no staff members online, and because of this I believe that the european staff team could use some reinforcement. I have been moderator on three other servers, because of this I already have experience moderating. I am currently quite active, I play ~4 hours daily, and I can keep that activity up easily. Because of my past moderating experience, I have experience with banhammer, logblock and worldedit. I feel like I am mature and active enough for this position, and I believe that I would make a positive contribution to the staff team by becoming op.

Why you should become a moderator:

First of all, i applied because there are not that many european mods, and sometimes when i join, there is no staff on. Also, opticraft isnt doing quite well, and i think that i could contribute positively to this minecraft server. I know that i have not been very active in the past few monts, only hopping around once every 1 or 2 days. This was mainly because of matters irl. Recently, i started a new project, and i am fully active again. I have been moderator on some other servers and already have quite some experience moderating. On those servers i worked with coreprotect and logblock.

I like to help people and inprove the community and the server in that way.

Thanks for your time,

Why you should become a moderator:

I made this application because i saw that there was a shortage of european mods, most of the time when i am on none or only one staff member is on.

I started playing minecraft in alpha 1.0.17_04 (this is 2.5 years ago) because of this I know a lot about the game itself, i also play on this server for more than a year already.

I can be online around 2-4 hours each day, I am building a project at the moments (my pyramid) but i am quite being quite lazy on building it. this means that i have a lot of time left to moderate.

Sometimes i ask myself; why do i want to become a mod. Being a mod on another server, i know that it is a heavy duty and not as fun as many think. The reason why i want to be a mod is to help the server; the server has been a place where i had have fun for almost a year, now i want to do something back.

When I just joined smp, I made some mistakes (this resulted in my two grief trap bans), now i understand that it was totally unacceptable. I have not had a ban for amost a year and i havnt been kicked for a long time.

I will not give up trying to become mod;
Last year there was a academic competition, I didn’t write myself in, because I thought I wasn’t good enough. This year, there was another academic competition and I did join, although i didnt win at the end at the international competition, this proves me that i should never give up.

Thanks for reading my mod app

sincerely, zwaan111

Why you should become a moderator:

I started playing minecraft in alpha 1.0.17_04 (this is 2.5 years ago) because of this I know a lot about the game itself. I know that I haven’t been online very much for 3 months, but this was because school and technical problems with my laptop. The summer vacation has started yesterday and I will have time to be online ~6-7 hrs a day.

I like to help people a lot, in real live, I give extra math lessons to 7th graders. Because I helped, their marks went from an F to a C. I also sometimes help people in the 10th grade with assignments.

I want to become moderator to help people and do something against griefers, spammers, xrayers, etc. I know some commands for mods and I know all the rules for non staff players. Opticraft has the best community of all servers I have ever been, and I want to do something back. I have played opticraft for 1 year by now and I have been top voter once. I am not building any serious project at the moment, all things I do is mine and remove bushes from my jungle. Because of this, I have a lot of time to moderate.

When I just joined smp, I made some mistakes (this resulted in my two grief trap bans), but I have changed since then. I have not had a ban for 10 months and I have not been kicked for a half year.

I will not give up trying to become mod;
Last year there was a academic competition, I didn’t write myself in, because I thought I wasn’t good enough. This year, there was another academic competition and I did join, and now I am going to <some country> for an international competition. This proves to me that I should never give up. Because of this, i will never give up my tries to become mod.

Project name name: The ways

Project location (Live map link, coordinates, not biome, include world name): Live map link -; Coordinates: -451, 397; World name: GuestWorld_nether

Contributors: -

Mayor: zwaan111

Approximate dimensions: 200*150

Number of active residents: 1

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: 10 waygates, the ways itself arnt finished yet

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any: build until you can travel from 1 side of the world to the other with the ways.

Why should we grant this project protection? the ways get griefed a lot, it is accessible from a lot of places in the new guest world, and it looks nice, so griefers want to grief it. it takes a lot of time to find all grief, and i cant leave holes in the paths, because people might fall into the lava if there are holes.

there are not many valuable blocks in the ways, only obsidian and (the not so valuable) endstone. the griefers grief it mainly because it is big and it looks nice.

griefers cant acess the ways very well atm, but when i fixed the portals (im rebuilding them) they will be able to enter again and then the ways will be griefed again.

because there is no nether live map, i made some screenies:

im buying obsid for $1000 a stack,

/msg me if you want to sell obsid to me, or reply to this topic.
