EveCommanderI have a few questions on this.
-What hosting company are you working under?
This server is covered by EmeraldHost.co
-is this officially sanctioned by this company?
Yes this is official sanctioned by the company
- Are cracked clients allowed to access servers under this host?
Cracked Clients are allowed but they may not be based on a cracked only server.
-must it be bukket? Bukket does not play well with Mods, and some light modding is usually quite acceptable on the average server. I am perfectly capable of maintaining a server without bukket while also putting a stop to greifing, so why bukket? backing up and having a good map editor can deal with most if not all damages.
Bukkit isn't a requirement. You can have bukkit or not. its your desicion. aslong the server idea is original and unique i will allow non-bukkit server.
-Pay to play servers, are they acceptable? This could supplement server costs short term, or even perhaps long term. This is also a proven anti-greifer tactic
This is aswell acceptable but the price must not be overpriced. I can understand that TVB asks 15$ or an apply to get in the voxelbox beceause they are known over the world and the whole minecraft community. But a starting server can't set 15$ as people don't know what they are joining
-Judge rank could effectively be abused, if a judge griefs are we able to ban them?
A judge rank ( as mentioned before ) Doesn't have the requirement to be Op or admin. They have the same perms as every other regular player. If a judge griefes . He / She will be taken from the team immediatly and will be allowed to be banned.
-Are you entirely prepared to continuously provide for a server even if it is not entirely successful?
As every server host regarding these conditions a server with no succes or members online they will discuss and come to an agreement. I am Capable to host the server for 5 more months so far on my payments. After that i might ask for a partly payment but this is still optional. If you don't get donations we will discuss ( as Metntioned in the ToS )
-I see a lack of host ToS. Post one please?
The ToS is posted in the main thread reply.

I am concerned with the prospect of being unable to change a server spawn. While yes, a spawn at first is perfect for members, It becomes less effective as time go's on due to stripping of resources, player building, and general necessary change.

I wish to understand what is behind this miniature contest and why it feels illegitimate. I work extensively with my own site host on a personal level and wish that if someone were to win this they would have a very much similar relationship.


All questions answerd above.

Hello! My name is James and I would like very much to win this!

Your age: I am 12 years old.

Your 'Server Idea': I would make the server have about main factions, with huge and well fortified bases. Each faction would have a command structure. They could form alliances, or have wars. If people want, they can apply to create another large faction, but the judges and staff decide if the faction should be formed or not. This is so that everyone works together, not split out across a large amount of factions!

Your link to your comunity: Very sorry, but I do not have one.

Skype: Darth-Roar

Why we would pick you: You should pick me because I have had experience setting up servers before! I know how to do plugins, and permissions. I know how to advertise! All in all, I think I could handle this!

Thank you for your time!

-James

Added,
And also everyone pay attention to this:
The Main-Organizer of this project has become ill and therefor the whole competition will be delayed. You can sign in to the competition by just replying to this thread. You cannot upload any projects yet . Its a basic routine we do to make sure no one can fraud or cheat.

Project name: Server Giveaway Contest - Not Yet Chosen!

Your age: 13 (I'm not immature, I've been admin on so many servers and atm I'm an admin on 1-2 i think! The reason I'm admin on those 2 is that a fantastic server I was an admin on went down, the hoster betraid us & ripped the contract.. so it went down, after spending months in creating towns, life tree, etc. Custom terrain map by me and all.. We spent weeks just premaking the world! PM me if you want some kind of proof
Your 'Server Idea': RPG - But PvP/PvE Is allowed... In some kind of a region.
Your link to your comunity: I haven't made it but i will start right now!
Skype:( Optional ): ihackmc.
Why we would pick you: I don't know... Why you would you pick any of us? I'm mature, I'm a good guy, good builder I have this... kind of thing, wanting me to make everything perfect.. and i have this plan, for a great server!

Theres a bit of a problem... Servers usually require a monthly fee and will you pay the fee forever (Or as long as needed) or will we need to pay the fee... If we need to pay the monthly fee this contest is pointless
