Midnight Factions is a new factions server built mainly be 2 people. Midnight who is 18, and Lazark who is 17. Me, (Lazark) has been playing factions for over 2 years, learning what works on a server and what doesn't. We may start to grow as a server, which is why we are looking for a Manager to help us grow. So rather than ask for someone to apply, I thought we'd make a competition, testing you Admin skills and the best person will win the rank of Head Admin.

Head Admin/Manager competition.

If you want to be with in a chance of winning this position by going through certain tasks that will test you admin abilities. Join the server and ask to be entered, or leave a reply on here with you PMC username and Minecraft Username. In 1 week I will choose an even number of people and we shall begin the event. These tasks may well include advertising things, selling certain things and shall be as Minecraft related as possible. The event shall run a bit like the TV series "The Apprentice". All kinds of people can apply.

Rules:

Must be at least 13 years old.

Must post both PMC and Minecraft usernames below.

Thought not required, writing a few lines about yourself may help your chances.

Now that the teams have been made, it's up to you to decide communications between yourself, and for the first task that's half the challenge. You'll also need to make someone a project manager for this task only, the PM will change for every new task.
Your PM, should manage the group, like a Head Admin should do. It is the PM's task to make sure every person/player is taking some part in the teams success. Remember if you lose as a team, some of you from that team will get kicked out of the competition. So it is vital that you work as well with your team as you can, try not to fight your team mates, as this may cause you to lose the task.

The Task

Now as everyone knows, all servers require money to be hosted and kept alive. Many servers offer premium or donation packages to draw in possible customers to help pay for the server. Servers are all fighting to try and get the best server, in hopes that they can get people to donate to them so that they can survive. I'm sure by now you have an idea on what your task is.
With 6 of you in each team for this task, I thought this would be an appropriate starter to get the basics out of the way. All Head Admins and Admins for that matter should be able to sell, they should be able to give possible customers a reason to donate for the server. So that's your task, to sell. I will give you 48 hours from when this post goes up for you to contact your team members, make a project manager between you and get on the server which I've posted the IP to before. The team with the most money made, no matter how small will win this task and continue to the next stage. In the losing team at least 2 of you will be kicked form the competition.
I wish you all the best of luck!

Hints for the competition!

Once the competition starts on Thursday, I will give each team (2 of them) a task, which will be the same. It will test your managing skills, listening skills and Administrator skills. You will have 2 days to complete the task to the best of your abilities. Once the teams have been decided, I will post them here, you will need to choose a project manager for the task. It is his/her's choice on how the team is run, everyone else we need to listen to these PM's. Is it your choice on how you all communicate during these tasks.
At the end of the 48 hours, I will talk to all of you at once on who did the best. The winning team will progress onto the next stage, and 2-3 of you from the losing team will be kicked out of the competition!
***The first task is taking place on the server where you'll be Head Admin on***

Introduction :
My name is mason0511, or in real life : rj. I am 16 years old and would like to apply for a staff position on the server. I speak English fluently aswell. I wanted to apply because I think that this server has a lot of potential. I see it growing to a good server in maybe a couple of months with the right people. I think that I'm one of the guys who can help to make the server grow and improve.

My strong points :
Patience. I really have a lot of patience with the dealing of certain situations. I will never get angry and always stay calm.
Manners. I will never swear be inappropiate in the chat. I'm raised very well and being like that is not in my earth.
Experience with people. I have a lot of experience in dealing with situations. I work in a supermarket and I handle with certain situations there. I know how to deal with people and their problems

ANd i played this server today in 7:55 in afternoon 10/20/2013 and Dont Try banned in other server But try to be Co-owner but the server Down

Motivation :
I see this server as an opportunity to help people. The server is owned by a good friend of mine and I want to help him make his server grow, and also help the players in it. I hope that I can improve the server. ANd i played this server In today in 7:55 in afternoon

Extra :
I use TS3 or Skype as voice communication so I can use that if it is necessary. I can also be one of the staff members who will control the forums in ways of ban appeals,staff applications or player reports. I will be ready to play a minimum of 2 hours almost every day and available on the forums for almost 24/7.

Are you good with Plugins:Yes,being higher ranked staffs on other servers such as Co-Owner,Head-Admin and Manager had taught me a lot on plugins and codings and also useful commands for the server's security.I always try my best to learn and understanding every Bukkit Plugins and use it as an advantage to increase the server's growth and development and also make sure it can benefit a lot for the players and staffs.I could also help to configure plugins and with all the useful plugins and commands,I could ensure every project I do will benefit and be useful for the server's development and use :sick: Plugins such as GroupManager,Essentials and WorldEdit are a few of the many plugins I have been used to and dealt problems with throughout all my staff experience.

Thank you for your time to read this application.

With kind regards,
mason0511

About:
-Alright, my favorite part. To start things off, not only have I been staff before, I have owned two kinds of servers of my own. One being hosted on a laptop, the other I bought the host myself. Both of them are shutdown now. ( don't have to believe me if I had those or not) My home hosted one took up too much internet and started to lag out. Then school came, and I just didn't have the time for owning a actual host. Anyways, thats not the point. I wanted to say that I did most of the 'Building up' in that server, whether it was the plugins or the builds in general. I had help of course, just wanted to mention that I help out and treat people fairly, no matter what the rank, even when I am higher. Ranks don't necessarily mean that you are 'higher' than a person. It just gives you more responsibility. To sum it up, I would like this position (responsibility) to help out, keep the server clean, and honestly, work my way up. I'm not going to lie.
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
-Edward

5 people on the list, couple more who may be joining... Remember this is a chance to earn and win yourself a Head-Admin rank, plus receive a small % of the servers profit.
Do you really want to spend time on an application, and get denied because you couldn't show the owner you skills? Actions speaker louder than words, this is your chance to prove to me what your skills are, and that you're worthy of becoming a Head Admin on a server!

I have owned multiple servers, most of which I got bored of, but I decided once again I'll try administering a server. This looks like a good server to look into.

About: I am a middle school student applying for an high school. I love sports and cooperating with fellow friends/others. One day, I started to play MC with my friends. I learned to build, and program, but not really good at programming. I have be going on different servers and applying on their servers. I had been accepted to be admin on arkhem network. I got replaced cause I wasn't on often in the summer. I rather spend time with family then play all day. I think this would help he on my app for applying to help your server. We could grow as a family I promise you!

I have been staff on multiple other servers, mainly moderator, but admin a few times. I am very good with many plugins, and I am a quick learner with new ones. I am also excellent with working with Enjin and setting up the server shop and website with it (If you were planning on making a website). I would love to help you guys make a faction server, and I hope you'll consider me!
