Experience: Regarding servers, I have worked with so many that I might not even be able to provide you with sources that still exist, as I've been involved with server management for three or four years now. Most servers I've worked with have went down after or with my presence and have had their websites shut down (removing all evidence of my positions), and the main reason always being that their Owners have no funding. A big no-no. Please do not start up a server without proper funding everyone. But, if necessary, I can certainly tell some server stories through Skype, as it would take all day for me to type it up here. Regarding experience in skill with servers, I have a very vast experience with server management and development. I have advanced knowledge with the following:
- Plugin Configuration: This can apply to configuration, easy adaptability, and expert experience with essential server plugins. (i.e. World Edit, World Guard, Essentials, PermissionsEx, Multiverse, etc.)
- Server Management: This can apply to staff recruitment, advertising, financial skill, and server pull factoring(things that can attract players to the community such as events or unique ideas).
- Player Mediation: The ability to calmly and effectively communicate with players to resolve problems or issues in the community.
- Lore Writing: Currently I am a practicing actor and model, as well as an aspiring writer. Whether it be creating a universe, or simply writing quest lines, pulling ideas from my imagination and past experience is always a fun thing to do. This is something I can do for the server in any way possible.
Position Applying For: I'd actually like to further discuss this with you guys, just so I can find a perfect fit.
Past Work: As of now, please just refer to the experience section., as explained how I cannot provide any proof of such. I can however pile memories together over Skype if needed.
Work Time: I should be available everyday for at least two hours, weekends varying. Though basketball season is starting and I may or may not be a little less active due to such. Also regarding my acting and modelling, I may have to be inactive a day here and there because of it.
Why You Want To Help Us: I cannot really go on about how badly I want to support the team, but from the little information provided, I really cannot. Although I DO know that from the vast amount of skill and teams you want to build, this project is going to require a lot of dedication and passion, something I can sense, and something I feel I can provide. I love both roleplay and roleplaying-game servers on not only Minecraft but in general, and I think my experience should be a great addition to your development.
Skype: PM'd.
Additional Information: I am a junior with a fair 3.5-4.0 GPA. My hobbies include acting, modelling (both runway and print), music, sports, going to the gym, and obviously video games. I currently work as a secretary at my local SPCA, as well as pursue my career in acting in modelling with agents and managers stationed in Los Angeles and the Central Valley. If my dream in acting does not take off where I'd want it to, I plan on going to college and medical school to become a licensed plastic surgeon. Other than that, I love learning new things. While I do have over 3 years of management experienced either relative to real life situations or within the Minecraft community, I feel like withholding this position would not only give me meaningful experiences, but lessons I could forever cherish in my future.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach me through Skype, Email, or simple PM. Thank you for your consideration, and good luck to all!

[EXTRA SECTION; feel free to ignore.]
Favorite Servers?
This usually changes from time to time, but at the moment I participate in a small roleplay community of at least twenty people. Roleplay and MMORPG servers are my favorite genre, as roleplaying is basically an advanced improvisation class for myself, and MMORPGs let you experience Minecraft gameplay in a completely different aspect.
What experience do I have with MMORPG servers and games?
Regarding servers, I have plenty. Some MMORPG servers I play on include (and are not limited to): Wynncraft, DungeonRealms, Pwing, and Swords of Valor. During the past year, I've worked with two other developing MMOs, either still in development or on hiatus.
What makes me a better applicant than others?
Aside from my vast skill range, I believe my maturity is what really sets me over the top. Maturity is a strong aspect of management and administration. Personally, I can be a bit of a goofball at times when I'm laid back, but when a situation is serious or needs a matured tending to, I always make sure to maintain that professional conduct. When dealing with conflict in the community, you always have to be the bigger person and hear both sides of a story before concocting a solution/consequence. Another reason could be my ability to bias my viewpoints. Referring back to the topic of conflict, you can never be biased towards one opinion or another. Your perspective needs to always be fresh so that the said solution would be balanced by both an aspect of morale and constitution.
