punknerd97's SMP Request

Hello Fools and Fool-ets.

I have been an avid Minecraft player for the last couple of years now. I joined the Minecraft family right after Minecraft went to Beta, so I have had my bearings on this foreign world for a while now.

My Resume includes being Administrator for several 100-200 slot SMP servers. I have been an Op for a couple of smaller servers, and Moderator on their forums, and other message boards.

I started playing Tekkit/Technic two or three months ago and I absolutely love the mod, and the reinvention of the Minecraft Wheel. From time to time I try to hop onto Kage's live streams and talk to him and his group of buddies and that's how I ended up here, I like the group of people, and I feel that I am ready to join into the community now.

This is my 10th year of schooling, so no, I am not an elder, nor a grumpy old coot. But I do find this community the most fun and awesome.

I am a relatively tall guy especially for my age. I am 6'2'' and have been asked repeatedly to join our high school's football, and wrestling team. I have been taking a couple of new classes just to see how I would like them. One of those being ASL(American Sign Language). My brother grew up hard of hearing, my mother is deaf in one ear, so I figured, eh, why not. My brother took some other ASL classes throughout his schooling career and I really like it so far. The other class being Weight Training. I am a rather stocky brute, so I am naturally not a runner, more of a lifter. I am really impressed with myself as I have been pushing myself class after class. Outlifting several of the bigger, bulkier guys.

I am the youngest of 5 in my family. Matter-a-fact younger by a lot. My closest sibling (age-wise) is 12 years older than me. So I have grown up like an only child for the majority of my life. I am an uncle, and have been one for the last five years and I think that my nephews and nieces are the most absolutely cute kids in world, then again I probably am biased.

I listen to a rather large variety of music. Ranging from the more popular bands like Coldplay to really obscure small time indie bands. I will tolerate everyone's preferences and opinions as long as they do the same in return. I am not particularly a fan of Country, R&B,Rap,or Hip-Hop music. But from time to time you can probably catch me listening to a song by Mac Lethal.

When I am not in front of my computer, or getting my mind blown by Chemistry. I like to ride around town on my BMX. I have never become serious about riding, but I have competed in a few minor minor races. Most of which being cross town bouts. None of which for money. QQ

After my mandatory schooling at my high-school is over, I want to eventually travel to somewhere like Canada or the UK. I was born and raised in the Central Coast of California. Where we have 2 seasons at school. Yoga Pants and Uggs, and Tank-tops and Hot-Pants on the girls. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about that *wink*, just not my definition of classy.

And I especially want to thank one 'iCraftingMRN' for helping me along the process of getting registered, and signed up for the server.

So, nice to meet you all and I look forward to the opportunity to play with the FoolHouse team.
If you have questions for me, I am more than willing to answer them.

Hey Geoph,

First; Welcome! :)

I suggest that you read this (for an example of a good accepted application): http://s13.zetaboards.com/Foolhouse/topic/6871869/1/

and this: http://s13.zetaboards.com/Foolhouse/topic/703932/1/#new

look at the third step of the ''How To Apply For Smp Access'', or just read it here:

3 - The Message in your SMP Request thread should contain a detailed bio about yourself. You aren't trying to impress just Foolscap, but the entire community. Think of it like an interview, and let us know who you are, why you want to be in our community, your hopes and dreams, etc. You can search around for applications that got accepted. Use those as inspiration, don't cut and paste. We'll know.

I am not trying to hate on you but the admins and the community itself like to know more about you then just your Minecraft expierence






Fireonfergal (a member of this community) recently posted this:

''I feel there's a slight misunderstanding in regards to the purpose of these applications.

In my eyes, I don't bother reading paragraphs about a person whom I've never met, just to find out what said person likes or dislikes.

To be honest, you could write anything in your application. It doesn't even have to be about you, although that's not necessarily recommended. You could simply recall an experience, or tell a story, and I would enjoy such an application far more than what I've been seeing lately.

In my opinion, the purpose of creating a forum application, isn't to say: "I like pie, and I play Minecraft." That doesn't say anything about you. As well, simply saying: "I play football and have an xbox." speaks nothing of the heart either. They're empty statements that do not matter.

What I would like to see is character in an application.

~ Ferg''




Hope it helps, and again not trying to hate on your post, just trying to help you out! ;)

GOOD LUCK!

Thank you for getting back to me on this. Much obliged. I was wondering about that myself. Anyway, would it be best for me to re-write this? Or just edit it?

Do whatever suits you, this could be a paragraph about your Minecraft expierence because some people still might enjoy reading it.

I don't think I would delete it if I wrote it, just add some personal stuff that shows your character!

Well this is embarrassing. I have completed the revision, but I can't seem to find the send button. What do?

Edit: I found it!

Why thank you FireonFergal! I wasn't too sure what was expected, what was wanted what was was just considered an open diary. :P So I went with a compromise. I take that as a massive commendation from a Moderator. And if my luck has it, I will see you and the rest of the Fools soon!

Looks good I liked it.

Just so you know, I am not an admin nor moderator and I can't promise you server access, give it some time and the admins will probably read this fairly soon

Hope you get accepted! :)

EDIT: believe you already knew that though!

Nice app, I didn't see any earlier versions but what you have now is stellar. I actually know some passable ASL (probably rusty at this point) but my co-worker in Germany was deaf/mute. After some painful finger spelling, I tried to learn a word or two every day. It is such a cool language, we used to sit in meetings and I'd translate for him, mostly which entailed us talking about how useless the meeting was and mocking people.

Also, grumpy old coot checking in..

Thanks Fools! Yeah the first version just didn't have a 1 or 2 of the paragraphs. And I never would have guessed that! There really is no better use for foreign languages than work,and mockery. Our class has a hell of a time when there is a substitute, things like teaching her signs like "Pretty Lady" that end up to be something like "I Am A Dirty Prostitute for Pigs." Eventually one of the brown-nosers would explain to her that she was signings something very very different from what she was told. Thank you very much for your commendations, it means alot to me bud! I hope to a striving and thriving member of the community!

Have a great day, and GodSpeed.

Chiming in here. Tyler and I were discussing which applications we liked best, and we both decided that yours stood out the most. I've already checked, and it seems like you've read and agreed to the SMP rules, so I'm going to go ahead and whitelist you. Welcome to the FoolHouse community. :)

Ahh thank you guys so much! I will ensure that I'll do my best to be an active member. Quick question though. When I try(tried) to log into the TeamSpeak was was told there was a password along with it. Either way, thank you Biftec, and Tyler. Hope to see you two on the server and here on the forums in the very near future.

Have a great evening, and an awesome weekend buds!
