Boss Battles - Six years...
Tophat2:
Name: Ravencroft
BL_ID: 2229
Previous administration experience: The Brighter Dark's servers, Whirlwind's servers, Wink's CityRPG, my Falling Tiles server that averaged 60+ people at a time when I hosted it, my Basketball Tournament, Wrapperup's servers, Jeebis' Falling Tiles, Kong123's servers, Glass' servers, Hata's servers, WALDO's servers
Who recommends you?: Whirlwind, WALDO, The Brighter Dark, Wink, Kickflow, You, Wrapperup, Allun Pentax, Cca, Cowboy6, Mango, Kingston, Jam Jar, BluetoothBoy, Pablo. You can ask them if you want. I'm too lazy to ask and screenshot every one of them recommending me. I can grab a few if you'd like.
Why should I accept you?: You should accept me because I am a proven admin that can handle even the most hectic situations, such as when there are a lot of people on the server at once. I also have a lot of experience being admin at servers that are popular or were once popular, for example, my own Falling Tiles server, The Brighter Dark's TDMs, various CityRPGs and more, so I can handle the pressure of keeping a renowned server in order. I can also build, make music loops and make prints so I can do productive things for the server if you're making a new map or simply just renovating the map.
Timezone/Region: Eastern Time
Xalos: I've believed Raven to have changed multiple times now, so I'm going to have to go and say no.
Visolator: I'm pretty neutral on this, this is very nice, but then there are many bad records of you.
Johnny Blockhead: Too much history to ignore, no.
Gizmo: Gayvon pls you haven't changed lol stay golden ponyboy
BlackStorm: Great App
Aware: Not a chance. You clearly have a problem with rules, and probably a bigger problem with enforcing rules. "I'm too lazy to ask and screenshot every one of them recommending me" a real winner right here. Maybe in the future if you can prove that you aren't going to be the Ravencroft that everyone hates.
Tetris: Generally no trust for Ravencroft. Seems douchey.
Marioguy0: This is not a can of worms I wish to get involved in. No, but you at least did better than the last two apps.
Redconer: I had seen you administrate servers before, I would have to say, Yes
Jetz: I think your application is solid enough and I haven't personally run into enough reasons to deny you for your history, so I'll say yes and let the others shoot you down if they're concerned about you. Yes.
Muzzles56: I'm in a similar boat to Jetz here. I havent heard of, or experienced any of your "history" but I have heard of your basketball servers and how there can be a good amount of players. However, the fact that you are too lazy to get evidence of recommendations put me off a bit. Despite this, I am going to say yes.
Ry: Habitual problem user that associates himself with other habitual problem users. There really shouldnt even be a debate here.
Trifornt: You're an on-and-off admin. You're occasionally a good admin and a trustworthy person, but when you're on the forums (most of the time) or when you feel like being a jerk, you become unlikable problem creator. No.
Ipquarx: http://puu.sh/a5GHr/38cdd156a3.png Speaks for itself :) ;) oAo o3o>:[
Tophat: From what I've seen, you've had a less-than-decent history. The app all around is very nice, those who recommend you fall back and forth as well, expeirence is vast. I have not had any personal experience with Ravencroft at all, nor much of actually seeing you host your servers. As of the writing of this vote, you've been clean for about a quarter of a year; I do not think this is enough time for someone to change, so for now I will pass.
Kalim: All entirely aware of the progress made by you in the past,so I say yes.
Fastlex:I don't really what to do here, I mean badspot dosen't seem to like this guy...
Legend: I will have to remain neutral here. You do seem to have what it takes, all but the initiative. If you can't go all the way with a job or goal, what is the point of even starting? Your history and notoriety are somewhat concerning as well.
Danny Boy: While the application is decent you seem to be in the center of trouble regularly. No from me.
Zero: You have a bad history, and like other stated before, you say you have changed "Multiple" times. No.
Frontrox: Poor history, no.

Previous administration experience: photokevv's server, Block king124's server
Who recommends you?: photokevv, Block king124
Why should I accept you?: I have administrated/moderated servers in the past few months, and most people expect me to build/event. But, people like photokevv and Block king124 have been admiring me, like other players. I know what responsibilities admins have for a server. It's a big role.
Timezone/Region: Eastern, USA
Xalos: I'm genuinely not sure what you're trying to say. No.
Visolator: Did you even put any effort into this? No.
spookysushi: You didn't even make it to four sentences. No.
Gizmo: No
BlackStorm: No
Aware: Your reasons to be accepted is very short. I'm not really sure what the part where you say people are begining to admire you really fits in to your application, but it is still pretty unique. You should expand on your reasons, try to make them about YOU, and try to make them unique. Admins don't really like seeing generic reasons and a short application in general. You can always look at previous applications for help, that's what I did when I applied. No.
Cknfrydsteak: Ba-gawk.
Trifornt: No. I have a popsicle though.
Redconer: Lack of requirements and strength to meet standards
Tophat: Little experience and recommendations; I also do not know what you are trying to convey to us. Other than you know what is expected of an admin. No.
Jetz: Communicated nothing in your reason aside from restating your recommendations and the job description. No.
Kalim: Very short info, and I at least expected more of it... So no.
Fastlex: No
Legend: You have provided basic information, and some unimportant information. As an admin you have a job to uphold, not to be admired by those in the server. Being an admin is a large role, I do not feel you are ready to be an admin for Pecon7 if you can't provide more than basic information about yourself. You know yourself, but we do not. I must say no.
Zero: The layout/application looks sort of incomplete?I have to say no on this one.
Frontrox: No

Previous experience: Sanctus rem's, gummy's, Moderator on That Blue Creepers, and Kenko's.
Recommendations: Sanctus rem, That Blue Creeper.
I'd like to start off with saying I would try to keep people from being bullied by those trolls who like to insult random people by calling them cigarette, stupid, gay, etc. I always see this kind of action on the server yet no admins are on to stop it from happening, this is one reason I'd like to apply. Another few reasons is that I see lots of bad sports, trolls, and just plain out starfishs, I'd like to try to help new players that join the server. You should accept me because I have experience and know how to run a server very well.

Good grief. No loving way.
Visolator: Going with Xalos.
spookysushi: Agreeing with visolator.
Gizmo: No
BlackStorm: That is some drama you got there. No
Aware: Only two of those dramas are even legit dramas. Your reasons are pretty generic, a common problem that gets applications shot down. Your reasons should be why YOU should be admin, try to be unique with your reasons because most people are expected to do the normal admin duties. No.
Marioguy0: It takes more than stating that you can fit the job description to earn a place here. We need more than that. No.
Jetz: Looks like you're trying to make the case that we need more admins without actually convincing us you should be one of them. No.
Trifornt: I want sharks with freaking laser beams on their heads![/u][/b] Wait, we're talking about admin applications? This is an application? Really? If that's true, then heck no!
Redconer: Big. Fat. No.
Tophat: You have said you're going to change in the server, however you have a decent drama or two, which clearly states you abuse admin abilites. If you change for the better, with more experience and such, my vote may change. No.
Kalim: Seen the previous admin abuse dramas, and I do not think that either one of them were falsely made to make you look bad. So that
is a no.
Fastlex: Nope
Legend: There is not much to say here. Your history is very concerning, and most definitely a liability. No is the best answer I can give you.
Zero: 6 Dramas is enough for me to say no, not taking chances.
Frontrox: Too dramatic, no.

Previous experience: Grouptree24's server and Hotremox's server
Who recommends you?: No one recommendes me yet
Why should I accept you?: (Modified)So I can help expand the boss battle community,never abuse the powers and I will look out for any problems on the server,also I like to play often on Blockland,and I can be easily contacted through via Steam.(Name is the same in Blockland)
(UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)
Aware: You should get recommendations before posting, reasons are pretty short and generic. Really when you are trying to write an admin applications you should be trying to tell us why YOU should be admin, so try to avoid the generic reasons and try to be unique. You should also put a lot of time into your application, we can tell when there isn't much effort put into it. No.
Redconer: These applications are very weak, especially this one. You're just putting in generic things that an average admin would do. No
Muzzles56: No recommendations, little experience and weak reason for acceptance. Nope.
Xalos: No recommendations and you're just listing admin duties. No.
Visolator: This has so low of effort, I have no idea what to say on this. No.
spookysushi: No.
Gizmo: No
BlackStorm: No
Marioguy0: Failed to meet minimum application recommendation requirements. No.
Trifornt: Generic Admin Application with generic reasons with pathetic recommendations and experience as well as stating generic things that an admin should do. Denied.
But, can I call you Ike?
Jetz: No recommendations, reason is 25% job description, 40% irrelevant, and 20% grammatical errors. No.
Ipquarx: No reccomendations = no admin
Tophat: Weak app all around, needs more experience, recommendations, and not to ask so much about when reviews are due. No.
Kalim: It not enough that stood out, and no recommendations made things worse. Will not accept.
Fastlex: No
Legend: Very common and often used reasons, without much of your own twist behind them. Regardless of your reasons, without any recommendations, I must say no.
Danny Boy: Read to "No one recommends me" and made my decision. No
Zero: No recommendations...again = No.
Frontrox: Recommendations are required

Previous administration experience
RocketBot's,Elie's,Fedora King's,And About 2 Other Boss battles servers.Which have not been up in ages.
Who recommends you?:Icedragon,RocketBot,7,Elies,Blocko Smith,And Fire Vine (Possibly)
Why should I accept you?:Well I have been Playing the server For a Long time for about almost 2 Years.Also Im on there Alot so people might not have to worry about me.Also I think it would be Really fun to talk to some of the other admins and share Experience.And Finally I want to help out with the server and give ideas and Maybe help if something needs to be built.
Timezone/Region:Central Time Zone (UTC-06:00)
Also I wont Be an Abuser.I will try to be as Nice as I can.
Admins:Tetris,Pecon7,Tophat,Kalim,Gizmo,Xalos,Aware,And all other admins.
BlackStorm: No
spookysushi: no.
Gizmo: Poor layout, no
Visolator: I can barely read this.. No.
Aware: I can't say I have ever seen the reason "I want to socialize with admins" before, but the rest are pretty generic. You should be trying to tell us why to accept YOU, so your reasons should stand out from other applications. You should also proof read your application for grammar mistakes. No.
Redconer: Its not that worthy of approval, though kudos for having a better application than most of the other ones here. Concluding my statement. No
Marioguy0: I found this application to be too difficult to read. If you are going to apply, put some effort into it and make it so that the people reviewing it do not have a predisposition to dislike you simply for how you typed the application. Oh, I forgot something. "alot" No, no no, a thousand times no.
Muzzles56: It looks like you have a good amount of experience, although saying 2 servers that haven't been up in ages seems fishy, as if you're making it up. You should be able to remember the host's name if you were an admin there after all.Your reason for acceptance only really starts with you looking to give ideas, the rest is padding and not a reason. The reasons that are there are weak. Giving ideas can be done by anyone and you might help to build? No.
Jetz: What is this "Admins" section...? Anyway, "Alot" No.
Ry: "Also I wont Be an Abuser.I will try to be as Nice as I can." These statements should result in the application immediately being terminated. Button words dont make an application, they just make you look incompetant.
Trifornt: I cannot... I can't read this. The MINIMUM requirements aren't even met on this and the whole review might as well be called "Also". But hey, at least I can... kind of read it as an application... okay, no I can't. Denied. Plus, what the heck is with the part stating all the servers admins?
Ipquarx: If you're going to be admin then you have to do more than try to not abuse, you actually have to be able to not abuse consistently and without fail. It's a no from me.
Xalos: For some reason he tried to list the admins, and then basically went "...and all the other admins I can't remember". Also, I seem to remember some previous conflict where Brick Builder was repeatedly spamming on my server. Gonna have to say no.
Tophat: This is the second app which I took since you didn't edit the first one, lucky I caught it. To start off, experience is eh, same for recommendations. I suggest reading our admin page, as your app is exactly what you shouldn't do. As for the final part, knowing admins of the server doesn't mean they'll vouch for you, or improve your chances at all. No.
Kalim: Being honest here, just going to say no.
Fastlex: Is this a building app? (no)
Legend: Whether you can build or not is a plus to being an admin, but not a requirement. If you can't even remember the name of the admins, how do we know we can rely on you to be one? Overall the app is poor and almost confusing. No is my answer here.
Danny Boy: Just a poor application in general. No.
Zero: Admin section? I dont know if your implying admins recommend you, if thats the case I never recommended you, also as stated before above, the application is hard to read and there is repeated "alot"s. No from me.
Frontrox: No

Name: Bot24
BL_ID: 34730
Previous administration experience: Hosting a few non dedicated servers: Bot24's Island Fortwars, Grapple Sniper TDM and a REG on Tezuni's
Who recommends you?: Oplo123,Mcloler (maybe Eagle and Xr_7 and Apak)
Why should I accept you?: First off, I really love playing with others and making friends on a team, I enjoy helping players out and showing them around to a new server! At home I watch my brother when my Mom is at work and its pretty demanding. Although I am a softy, I lay down the rules when there is a crCIA, I don't put up with crap and i'm not afraid to punish whoever is messing around. Although I "say" i'm a good leader, I would like you to know something. As many of you know, running a server is a hard but rewarding job, I may not be as well known as everybody else, but I have played this game long enough to know whats right and whats wrong.
Thanks for your time
Timezone/Region: Eastern, USA
spookysushi: I'm pretty neutral on this one. Also congrats, first time someone talked about their mom in their admin app. Yet again, since we are not allowed to be neutral, no.
BlackStorm: This is pretty good, but you should put more effort into it. You're knocking on the door, but you're just a friend not knocking hard enough. No
Gizmo: I'd like more experience or better recommendations. No.
Visolator: Most of your app talks about what you can do with the server, not how will you use your admin, no.
Aware: A general rule to making an application is to not mention Tezuni on your application, and it shouldn't really be there because it states you are a "reg"(regular?) on Tezuni's server not an admin. Your reasons are actually pretty good, the part where you mentioned watching your brother shows that you are responsible. You can always add more recommendations and past experiences to your list, but I think you should expand more on the reasons. You used decent enough grammar in your reasons. You really should apply again, make sure you follow some of the advice posted. Sadly, for now I have to say No.
Redconer: I cannot register what to say here, but unfortunately, I'm gonna say: No.
Marioguy0: Sounds like your heart is in the right place, but you seem to lack confidence. I think you need a little bit more time, but you do not seem like somebody to be avoided indefinitely. No.
Jetz: "Although I 'say' i'm a good leader, I would like you to know something." The quotes around that "say" make me suspicious. "Although I am a softy, I lay down the rules when there is a crCIA, I don't put up with crap and i'm not afraid to punish whoever is messing around." That sounds like the opposite of a softie. And laying down rules isn't always good crCIA management. No.
Muzzles56: Half of your reason is just padding. You also just admitted to being a bad admin at the end, no no.
Ry: Tezuni, nuff said.
Trifornt: If you got admin on Tezuni's, you meet the least of requirements needed for here. Tezuni's Super Admins are godawful (save for Eagle) and his admins don't fair much better, as well as the moderators constantly whining about how they want admin and how they don't get the same powers. If you can barely get admin there, you will never get admin here. But at least you have the right heart. No. Re-apply in the future.
Tophat: As I figured, the admins would jump you for Tezuni's. It's a good idea to not mention it at all with this group, as it will actually improve your chances, for some reason. I understand your reasoning, and it was explained well. You've also played BL quite a while, and probably hosted some decent servers using what you could, which is a good thing. Needs more recommendations, despite the rest of the admins, I'll vouch for you. Yes.
Kalim: Tezuni influence just struck me in the heart, so I have to say no. The problem is that being an admin under Tezuni just may cause a problem here if you were admin under Pecon7/Boss Battles.
Fastlex: Uhhhhhmm, I never really played on Tezuni's servers but seeing the other admins' feed back I'm going to have to say no.
Legend: Being a former admin under Tezuni can create complications. Nothing against Tezuni nor his server, however the way things work are different there compared to here. I do not want to judge a book by its cover however. If you can gather more recommendations, you will most likely have my yes to this. Don't be discouraged to re-apply in the future, and as Tophat mentioned, Tezuni does have some notoriety behind his name.
Danny Boy: I recommend that you reconsider your reasons and re-apply in the future. A lot of what you said is not relevant but I definitely would not be surprised if I saw you as an admin in the future. For now however, no.
Zero: Well as soon as I read Tezuni...I instantly thought No, but well thats about it, you also said you take care of your brother, but thats kind of irrelevant to taking care of the server, and I honestly think your not ready. No from me.

Ipquarx:
Okay who changed my segoe UI to comic sans -.-
Bomb Kirby:
Some people got -19 as their score?
What, did you pull out the full force of the admin team? Legit question. I think a judging panel of 19 is a bit too much. Even though the people who got -19 are people I'd say no to as well, I still think having nearly 20 people judge an application is too many.
Disclaimer: I did not read what the admins said to any of the apps. So far I have only read the applications themselves and the scores.
