Hello fellow minecraftians :D ,
My name is kamz19 (Id rather not give out my real name on the internet but you can probably guess anyway) Im 14 years old and my birthday is April the 18th so Im almost 15. I think I should explain a bit of background about myself before anything else. I started off in Minecraft with a little knowledge on how to start off, I had the free version and I watched many videos posted on YouTube by Tobuscus/TobyGames. I had the free version and to be honest I couldnt stop playing for about 2 weeks. Two weeks wasnt that long though and even though I still played Minecraft, I didnt play as much as I would have if I had the full version.
I got a few of my friends interested in the game hoping we could go on multiplayer, this was when I realised we weren’t going on any server if we didn’t have the full version. We played Minecraft for about a year (not all at once I might add ;) ) and made quite good progress. I slowly built up more knowledge on the game until I practically knew all the recipes for crafting and could build a half decent house. I then moved on slightly and started to enter the technical side of minecraft. I learnt about map seeds and co-ordinates and even tried to set up my own server, I also made a skin but again limitations of the free version stopped me from wearing it.
At this point me and my friend started to have less and less to talk about, I decided now was the time to go for the full version, I knew it would be worth it and I don’t usually spend money on the internet. I bought the full version but my friend still didn’t have enough. I got the confirmation e-mail and began to realise just how much I could now do in Minecraft. I applied an entirely new skin, set up a survival vanilla server for me and my friend, and for the first time ever, joined a server. I was instantly greeted by an admin who set up a small plot of land for me (really small) and gave me 3 stacks of wood. He then left me to my own devices and I built quite a nice looking house. This was the day I first found sassypants channel on YouTube.
It took one day for my happiness to be crushed. My house was claimed by a player and he refused to let me have it back. This is how I learnt of the factions’ plugin, I can now tell you almost anything you want to know about factions. I was forced to abandon my house and everything inside and literally ran for the hills. I had nothing to protect me and my house had been claimed near night so I had virtually no time to build anything. I made a dirt tunnel in the side of a cliff and stayed there for the night.
Eventually I found the city of Promine (one of the factions on the server) and me and a friend I had met on my travels (not irl) camped outside the city wall. The next day the owner of promine came online! I negotiated to him and told him my story, he let me in and even made me a moderator so I could allow my friends to join the faction. I made a house and later on so did my friend. I was sure I would stay within that city forever…I was wrong.
About 2 weeks after I first joined I had a reasonably good house and my friend had connected his house to mine via an access tunnel. We were happy there for quite a while. And eventually we discovered that the city might be nice and ungreifed, but no-one knew each other. I am a very social person, if you locked me in a room on my own I would be stuck, lock me in there with someone else and I can probably figure a way out. In other words, this may sound slightly creepy, but my personality, my mind, everything feeds off other people. So we left the city.
I created a new faction called ITEF, I’ve always been a fan of sci-fi and ITEF actually stands for: “Intergalacting, Travelling, Exploration, Federation.” This is something I made up years ago and is actually on my back on the skin I made. We built a 100 by 100 floor of dirt flying around 50 blocks off the ground and waited for the grass to grow, (the leader of promine had given me a grass block as a present) when it was done we made a huge glass dome or box or whatever you want to call it over the island.
We built houses and eventually, my real life friend bought the game :D . everything was going well, until…the 1.2 update. Don’t get me wrong, it was a brilliant update but it meant the entire server map was replaced. We were thrown from a community of friendly builders into a world where it was survival of the fittest. I tried to make a tree house with my friend but it was soon greifed with no plugins to protect it. The map continuously changed as the admins tried to restore their server but it seemed to no avail as the server eventually shut down. I was forced to find another.
After joining many different servers where my house was greifed, I eventually found this one. I have watched videos on YouTube posted by sassypants for about half a year and recently found a video of hers, showing you around a server. I realised after a while that this was the most well developed community I had ever seen on Minecraft. I had a look on the website and in the moderators list I saw the name: "sassypants75." I (as you know if you’re reading this sassy) instantly private messaged her asking how I could become part of the server. Sassypants messaged me back saying to poke around the forums a bit, I found this.
Well that basically my Minecraft days in a nutshell now just some general points about me and why I want to join.
-As said above I am a very social person, I just can’t stand the thought of being alone permanently on Minecraft, this is one of the reasons I bought the game, so I could access multiplayer.
-I Hate Greifers. Simple as that. I’ve played online building games Minecraft obviously is one and after all this time I still can’t understand why Greifers grief. People tell me it’s for fun but that can’t be true because it can’t be fun to cause someone else misery. All it does is lose your friends. And as you already know, I try my best to stay on the good side of all my friends and be fair to them.
-my best way of dealing with a difficult situation is to keep smiling and stay happy. This will clear your mind and allow you to think of how to escape the situation. If you angry or sad it just clouds your thoughts. (I know sometimes people can’t help it, so I help them and I almost always manage to cheer them up)
-I have always wanted to find a server to settle down on and this seems to be it, I really want to get to know the community and be part of something. I explained above why I don’t grief and I’m a cheerful person. Also I’m not sure if this will sound weird to you guys but I never swear. I think of fill in words like shoot or darn things like that but I don’t swear. However this doesn’t mean I will challenge anyone else who I hear swearing. To be honest I don’t mind swearing, I just choose not to myself.
Thank you guys for taking the time to read this application, I really do hope I’ll get to meet lots of people and hopefully, I might see some of the Minecraft legends in person :D . Well, not in person but you know what I mean.
Yours sincerely
Kamz19
p.s. sorry it was so long winded, I just wanted to get everything in :P

This is a milestone day, I'm pretty sure this is the first time someone has applied through Sassy's videos! Yay :)

Normally we like to see less Minecraft info and more personal info in the app, to know what type of person you are and how you'll integrate into the community, but this story was fairly longwinded and amusing and your personality shines through pretty well.

I will whitelist you in a bit. Do me a favor and sign off on the giant rules thread that's stickied in the General Discussion section.
