I know I'm late, but Happy Birthday Crafty! I'd say more, but i'm sure you get it, we all appreciate all you've done for us, hopefully we can repay our debt of gratitude.

I just got logged off and am not sure why. Anybody else having this issue? Also, it took me almost 15 minutes and relogging over 11 times to get the tp to spawn/home work from the book. Maybe it's just lag, or is my system going haywire?

This faction not only had a plethora of problems including, residents stealing & griefing constantly + being raided at 4 different locations.

I think the only other time i've seen/heard the word plethora used was in three amigos.

I did my boot in San Diego MCRD. Hotel Company, Platoon 1085 in 1993. You'll do great, make us proud, Semper Fi devil-dog.

OtakuInAlaska Staff Application

In Game Name: OtakuInAlaska (aka: Ota, salmon guy, hey dummy)

Age: 47

Time Zone: Alaska

Strengths: I am a very active player due to my job(s) and social life or lack thereof, with gameplay hours varying each day. I enjoy engaging in conversation via chat and my repertoire of insignificant retorts seems endless. I remember what it was like when I first started playing MC a few years ago, and thanks to a great mentor, I still enjoy it as my number 1 source of entertainment. As a Zen Buddhist, i do not grief, raid or steal, although i may joke about it, and am very passive and forgiving when it happens to me. As a single father of a disabled daughter, I have learned patience and enforcement with a kind hand (although we all have our limits on stupidity and abusiveness).

Weaknesses: My weaknesses are many, and some of which i have no interest in changing. Let us begin the list... I am a horrible architect/builder thus usually focus on one task (usually farming). I do not know many dynamics of the game, ie: chunks, redstone, etc... Although I do try to keep up with chat, there are times that even a Zen Buddhist thinks to himself "If I could just concentrate on my task without being bothered" and may miss important information. I have a weak memory. I believe the last 3 issues must be stated for this to be a fair evaluation. When it comes to players whom are exhibiting stupid, rude, argumentative against staff/rules types of behavior, i tend to with them punished for their actions (like a kick to remind them to stop) after being warned. Next, I understand staff/helpers must monitor chat when on to completely fulfill their duties, however when I am focused on a specific task, I tend to focus on the task only and may ignore chat for a few minutes. And lastly, I have been diagnosed with a very mild form of Narcolepsy (I tend fall asleep instantly and may last 10-45 minutes in some cases), thus I do get logged off quite a bit due to inactivity. For this I am sorry, but I have no control over it (and I work 80 hours in 6 days each week as a night dispatcher for a cab company and as a radio host at a local radio station on weekends).

Why you are Applying: I like to help those in need and as such I do not sell or trade items i have. i generally give them away, if i can spare them. My philosophy here: "I came to this server with nothing, what I have now if lost, can be regained through time and labor. " I would like to see the community fluxuate as real life does. People from all walks of life including the "bad" people that grief and raid. But certainly I would like to see it done in a friendly, or at least fair environment for all to enjoy.

Custom Note: Thank you in advance for taking the time to read through this application. If I am found worthy as a successful candidate and am chosen as a Helper, I hope that I may fulfill my duties as staff would approve. If I am not chosen as Helper, I understand that this is not to be taken personally, and it would just mean perhaps this is not my time to be in that position.
