Previous administration experience: Iriakar's Town RP (Dedicated server, lots of cool builds)
Who recommends you?: Possibly Iriakar?
Why should I accept you?: The ammount of arguments and trolls on the chat and ingame have gone up in the
Good old boss battles server, And admins arent always on. I was on this morning for an hour and no admins
were present, There were plentifull harassments and arguments on the chat. I also have experience
administrating in not just blockland, but plenty of other games too, I think i'd be good at it on
the pecon7's boss battles server.
Timezone/Region: EST, USA.
Pecon7: Does not meet minimum requirements. No.
Jetz: Using your prior experience in the reason to accept you doesn't really fit with your really weak prior experience section. No.
Ipquarx: Not enough reccomendations. Please prepare more before your next app.
Tophat: No recommendations.I also remember an issue or two with you. Unsure exactly what it was, nothing pleasant, I know that much. You'll need more experience as well. No.
Ry: Using possibly as a recommendation is really sketchy, if you aren't even sure wether or not people trust you, that's a bad sign, No.
Soroxzion: Recommendations are sketchy and this does not meet application standards.
Frontrox: What Rykuta said, no
Aware: Spell check? No. Grammar? No. Two recommendations? No. My vote? No.
Marioguy0: Failure to meet minimum application requirements. No.
Xalos: You already applied and Iriakar already told me he does not know you well enough to recommend you for admin. No. http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=177870.msg7698592#msg7698592
Tetris: I'd like to know what "other games" this fella has administrated on. Would be interesting to see the list. Also, saying "I think I'd be good at it" isn't even close to enough. Gonna have to be no on this one.
Trifornt: Unfortunately this review falls flat on the recommendations and experience. CityRPG's/Town RP's are notorious for their absolutely terrible admins, so having admin there isn't really something that makes us say "Wow!" The reasoning was... decent... but we're looking for good admins, not decent admins. Sorry, but I'm going to have to say "No" on this one.
Visolator: Poor app. No.

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
Pecon7: This application is good, but you also have quite the personal history. No.
Ipquarx: I don't like that you included Cca as a reccommendation. That's shady as forget. But besides that, everything looks fine. It's a yes from me.
Jetz: I've said in the past that you seem alright to me, and I haven't seen the reasons behind your questionable reputation, so once again I'll say yes and let the others deal with it if they have a problem. Yes.
Ry: Affiliations with Okiver, KalpRiddler and the rest of the anti-blockland league make this individual a highly questional rouge element. He might be good, but I don't trust his past affiliations enough to want to risk it. No.
Frontrox: Not the best reputation. No
Tophat: Been clean for a little while...But not enough for me to sway in your favor, although I think you're a good admin, even with your past. No.
Soroxzion: From your personal history I will have to say no on this.
Aware: Anyone but Ravencroft. No
Marioguy0: I understand that people can change, but I do not feel that I can safely approve of you with your history. Perhaps later. No.
Xalos: I've previously denied Ravencroft on account of his shady history, but since you seem to have legitimately cleaned up your act, it's a yes from me.
Tetris: I've personally seen him swapping BL_ID's to access servers that he was previously banned on. Shady activity for a shady guy. What kind of idiot goes under such a hated name over and over, anyways? Definite no.
Trifornt: Whenever I'm around you, you're perfectly normal and a reasonable guy. You're actually pretty likable, save for the constant unnecessary use of cussing. However, I have heard nothing but that you're a troll and a problematic player from other people. I can't say "Yes" here, but I also don't want to say "No" because of how you act around me. It's conflicting, but I'm just going to have to say No because I cannot say Yes. Sorry.
Visolator: Your personal history brings everything down, the app looks good though. 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
Ipquarx: I'm kinda on the fence about this. On one hand you seem alright, but on the other hand it doesn't seem like you can accommodate the most time towards the server. I think it's going to be a no from me until you can provide more time. Seems you have enough on your plate.
Soroxzion: If you can't even verify your own recommedations then I'm going with no.
Jetz: Suspicious quotation marks around "say," demanding side job to keep you away from the server, and the fact that rules are for day to day operations, not crCIA scenarios. No.
Tophat: I don't like the recommendations from my own experience with them. Others may instantly "no" you due to mentioning Tezuni. Reasoning got the point across, but wasn't enough to make up for the rest. A couple to a few more recommendations would help you here. No.
Marioguy0: Pretty weak reasoning, and you did not bother confirming half of your recommendationsns. No.
Tetris: I'd like to hear what his definiton of "right" and "wrong" are. You can't just throw statements like that out without backing them up. Also, you don't put up with crap? Wow. This guy doesn't put up with crap, he said! Hire him straight away! Definite no.
Trifornt: I'm going to ignore the Tezuni part and cut to everything else wrong about this review. You've hosted a few non-dedicated servers, but you did not tell us what servers they are so we could recognize them. Also, Grapple (Anything) servers have very little administration in the first place since very little of them are up and there aren't a lot of ways to break rules on those servers. The recommendations are also a little weak and you said that MAYBE those people recommend you. The reasoning is the best part though, but it's still weak. You just need expand on it a little bit, back up what you're saying, don't make suspicious quotations, and don't say stuff that admins are supposed to do any way. My verdict: Nope.
Visolator: Seeing as how the app goes, many other admins can do what you put here. Also, I'm not sure why you put part of your personal life on here. No.

Previous administration experience: TheNinjer's Server Panquake's Server
Who recommends you?: TheNinjer Count
Why should I accept you?: Honestly, I dont THINK you should Accept me. But in truth it is entirely on what you think. I only apply here in hopes i can improve the overall Fun/Quality of your Server.
Timezone/Region: Eastern, USA
Jetz: "Honestly, I dont THINK you should Accept me." Well that makes two of us. No.
Ry: YOUR REPUTATION FAILS TO PRECEDE YOU; mister expecting us to just kinda figure out who you are without any information. If I have to go through the effort of looking you up then you just completely wasted my time.
Frontrox: Why is this even here? No
Soroxzion: The amount of issues in this application is astounding, you don't even meet the criteria of calling this an application, No.
Ipquarx: No
Tophat: Due to the amount of issues you cause in the server from my view, in addition to having very few recommendations and little experience, No.
Cknfrydsteak: Ba-gawk. No.
Xalos: I sometimes wonder if these are serious apps or if people just fling whatever they can together. No.
Tetris: I agree with your reasoning. Also, I'd like to hear some of his ideas to bring the overall "Fun/Quality" up. Gonna go with no.
Legend: If you don't think you should be accepted, you either don't have confidence, or you're not entirely sure you can handle it. Your history is also an issue. No.
Trifornt: Two servers of experience, extremely tiny reasoning...
I don't have a lot to say about this. Nope.
Visolator: If you already deny yourself, you know you shouldn't apply until you feel positive and mature about yourself. No.

Previous administration experience: I help people who are new. I have really good ideas Example: I suggest you to make a class called Air Breaker you can fly for 5 sec.
I give warnings to people who are rude or hackers. I can help with tips by telling the people who deserve it.
Who recommends you?: the troller
Why should I accept you?: I think you should accept me because i'm very helpful with suggestions and ideas.
Time zone: Mountain USA
Jetz: We don't need an "ideas guy." Also flying for a few seconds already describes the pyro. No.
Frontrox: With a recommendation like "The troller" I'm surprised you weren't accepted on the spot. No
Ipquarx: No previous experience, nope
Soroxzion: This needs more of a body to what your even trying to achieve here. Needs more recommendation and make the recommendation a little less unknown and more well known like other administrators in the servers or people who are in the server I say about 80% of the time. Anyways rewrite this and get some more decent hours in the server. Just take your time and rewrite this whole thing verify everything with all reccomendations and get better ones. Then repost it and go from there, also in this current state, going with a No.
Tophat: I re-read this three times in order to understand it. Experience = giving ideas? Since when? You're going to need more recommendations and experience, since you have none of the latter it seems. No.
Marioguy0: I am going to take a minute to try and help you. Being an administrator on a server generally means that you will take it upon yourself to regulate the gameplay and interactions between users in the server chat. You do not need to apply for this position if you want to pitch us ideas. I am going to assume that you want to see something you imagined make it into the server and that you are trying to become an administrator to boost your chances. This is not going to work, especially not the way you have tried to do it. The best advice I can give you is to wait a while and find out exactly what it means to be an administrator for anything, then see if you should bother submitting an application. If you want to send us ideas, leave them in the thread once you are certain you know what you are trying to convey to us. No.
Xalos: I feel as though I've already reviewed this exact same application before. No.
Legend: First off you provided no previous administration experience. There is a class that can fly, the firebug. It doesn't have the staight forward mechanics of flying, it has its own. Your app gives face value at best, but hardly anything more. No.
Trifornt: First, the previous admin experience part is wrong. You need to put that in your "Why you should accept me" part, and replace the empty previous administration area with nothing since it seems like you don't have any to begin with. I don't want to sound rude, but this application is total garbage. You don't need admin to be a fungi and you don't need admin to give us ideas.
Visolator: Many admins can do the same thing as your reasoning, no.

Previous administration experience: Infiminer's server, terminator's server, Kong123's server and some more i can't remember it has been like a year+
Who recommends you?: people who I have administrated for
Why should I accept you?: I have had administrator experience on various game servers, I can give harsh but fair punishments to those who deserve it, I am also mature and will act sensible when on the server.
Timezone/Region: GMT/UK
Ry: All three of the above ones are too short to be proper applications, they all get Nos.
Jetz: Once again I motion that we add a section to the admin apps where you restate what an admin's job is so people will be less inclined to do it in the reason to accept. Though he already restated that he has past experience so maybe that'd be pointless in this case. No.
Frontrox: Too short. No
Ipquarx:
Tophat: Pretty sure you went at me about the apps. Either recommending you, or pushing the apps out. Or someone else. I can't remember the exact reason of the problem. Can't really trust who recommends you. No.
Soroxzion: Too short. No.
Marioguy0: Failed to meet minimum application requirements. No.
Legend: Application lacks of detail. No.
Trifornt: There is no reason for you to not list more servers in your previous admin experience area if you've administrated on servers for years. To top it all off, your recommendations are vague. Also, a harsh punishment isn't a fair punishment. A harsh punishment in my eyes is a permanent ban because the guy said "rekt" over and over and that inevitably annoyed people. You are also expected to be mature as an admin, and you're also expected to be sensible as well.
It's a no from me.
Visolator: "I have had administrator experience on various game servers", this is why we have a "Previous administration experience", your reasoning should be more detailed. No.

Previous Administration Experience:
I only started administrating as of 2 years ago, however, I believe that as an admin on those servers it is my sole job to take a leadership position for the server's well - being. I used to administrate some years ago, but then again, it was a lot more quantity than quality, and by a pretty far stretch. Earlier this year, I set a goal for myself - that I would prove my skills and talents in the community, so I started scripting and applying for a couple servers, just to start out. I've known Agent Red for 2 years, and then I started playing on his server a lot. Later, he decided that I would be a great admin as I had many aspects of doing so. I eventually applied for his server, and became an Admin. Around a year later, he made Super Admin, and realized that I knew what I was doing. I eventually became Co Host and now I write a part of the custom mods for his server. Then I gained confidence in my administrative skills, and started applying to many other servers. I got accepted onto some of the newer ones, and from there, I learned a lot about contemplating what to do in a server which is withheld in an amazing environment. Then on, I started applying on the forums for admin on other servers. Applying for Pizza Man's server was my first task, as I had met him in - game and knew him quite well. He then accepted me onto the Moderator team for his Army RP, as they weren't accepting any more admins. After that, I just applied on the forums for the rest of the servers, and got accepted. I hope to function well in the Boss Battles server better than I have in the past, as it is a more popular server than the rest.

Why should we accept you?
(This is going to be really long, just as a forward warning)
I wish to give all of my effort that I can towards improving the server in it's entirety. I'm on of those people that tells the newer players how to work the game when they need help. Also, this server has improved greatly over the past few years, and I believe that people should give this server their all because Boss Battles really has an extreme amount of potential, even more than before. The environment in which your server stays seems to be very well kept by your administration team, but I believe that I too can contribute to this server.
I also wish to prove to the community that while a server may have a big administration group, that doesn't mean that it's to much to deal with. By having done that in my previous servers, I believe that everyone should be treated equally and fairly; a place where everyone is given the same amount of chances, not because you have a personal bias towards a person. That's one of the most important things to me, as well as making sure that none of the other players have a negative point of view on someone because of something they did in the past.
I would also like to help code and help making addons, as I can code/script myself, and having been doing so for maybe a year or more by now. This way, I can help bring new ideas to the server and actually make the magic happen.
Basically, while administrating, I don't take in account personal opinions, and I normally ask for a higher power (eg SA/Host) to deal with the problem if I seem to have a biased viewpoint towards any of the problematic users, so their punishment would be just as fair as if I didn't know them. However, I'm not extremely harsh while giving out punishments. I generally mute a couple times, then comes the kick.
I hope to see this server to continue to grow, and help it do so.
Time Zone: Eastern USA
Ry: Holy crap someone attempted to organize their application; that shows a level of competiance miles ahead of the typical rabble; he has a backstory, he avoided lots of annoying buzzwords, and he obviously spent time on this. Dedicated and Experienced. Yes.
Jetz: Jyeezus. Wrote a lot and not even a wall of text. Well organized and formatted and even went into detail in the past experience section. THIS, people, is how you show effort. Needs to look good, not just have a bunch of stuff thrown in there. As Ry said, buzzwords were avoided and experience was communicated. Yes.
Frontorx: A very neat and organized application, and you don't sound like a hard ass. Yes
Tophat: Well written although the experience was a bit overkill, with the details at least, and I've only seen you but three times in the server. I could be wrong, but I honestly think you don't have the time for this server, or aren't interested in it. No.
Marioguy0: My brain hurts from the size of this app. Going off what I have read and what others have said, I suppose it could be worthwhile to let you in. Yes.
Soroxzion: A nice organized application, decent recommendations, well executed attempt at writing a very good application. All in all I'm going with No because I don't know you enough.
Xalos: I would have to be reaching to try to deny this application. Yes.
Legend: Quantity does not always mean quality, yet you bunched the two together well enough to get my attention. First nicely organized application that I have seen for a while. Some points have a little question behind them, such as it sounds like you're looking to make something out of your name. Not wrong as long as you go about it the right way. Overall your application looks appealing and promising. Yes.
Trifornt: Another application that mysteriously puts part of the "Why you should accept me" section inside of the "Past administration experience" part. Otherwise, you still seem like a good admin, but something gives me the wrong vibe about you. You just sound too good to be true, and the backstory of when you started administrating servers was unnecessary. I know very little of these people who recommend you, and none of those servers you were admin on have the greatest administration (especially that "Merp" server, where an admin flamed me.) Also, I have NEVER seen you on Pecon7's server at all. How on earth am I supposed to say that you sound like a good, trustworthy admin when you're not even on the server at all?I am one of the only ones here, but I'm going to say no.
Visolator: This looks like someone put an essay for their english assignment, I like it, but when I saw this, "I would also like to help code and help making addons, as I can code/script myself, and having been doing so for maybe a year or more by now. This way, I can help bring new ideas to the server and actually make the magic happen." This shot it down for me. You pretty much overkilled the "Previous Administration Experience", which brought it down even more. No.

Previous administration experience:
Back in the day, I used to do myself quite a lot of the administrating, but that was years ago. I do not really administrate as much anymore because I do not find interest in certain servers as much as I did before. I will usually only attempt to get admin or something of the sort when I enjoy playing on a server and I want to keep it enjoyable (by making players follow rules/regulations, using good common sense/judgement/logic). I basically only have admin on one place of considerable importance at the moment, which is Sanctus Rem's server. The administration system on there is a bit complex-- but very effective. I am most likely going to obtain the position of super admin on there at some point, the process takes a while.
I have a lot of experience in the past, since early 2009 (my first key was a shared key with my brother, Zloff (BL_ID 12879)), so I consider myself quite well at reading other players and knowing how to handle most all situations that may presented. Besides that, if I think back to the extent of my memory, I've been admin on Pieslapper's, Kojolika's, Katadeus', Zloff's, Lt. Portalfreak's, Chetz's, Cat123's, Count's, SigSawer's, Boost’s, and Midnight Tank’s servers.
Who recommends you?:
Aoki, Cca, Sanctus Rem, Cat123, Slushie, Big Steve XC, Eagle517, General R, Blockman01, DanteKO, Jakeonwind, Sharp Shooter, Blockhead31735, Light, Deokotaru, Cruxeis, Final Walrus, Ardenlo7, Kyber, Oak, Kingston, Boost, Veil, Snow White, Dexeys, yawa200, Bobeh, Roli, Lego Lad, and xWither.
That is thirty recommendations, if you'd like proof of their recommendation you may ask them. I know in most cases that quality-over-quantity is superior to the vise versa, but usually whenever I had attempted to work with a player of some sort of importance, they would not cooperate decently despite my consistent efforts. These recommendations are the best I could conjure up.
Why should I accept you?:
I am currently playing a fairly large amount of time on the server, and I find it very entertaining, I enjoy it thoroughly. Frankly, I'm addicted to it at this time, and if anything negative were to happen to it, I'd be particularly devastated. I don't want it to be spoiled by players that are able to break the rules and get away with it, that may begin to break rules and are not stopped before it possibly gets out of hand, or those who intend to be a nuisance to the server and ruin the fun for others.
Anyway, I will describe my current skills: I know how to edit basic scripts, I used to be able to do some fancy eventing (I can do some now), I can build decently, and I can do a little bit of modeling. But, my specialty is the actual administrating by its plain self, and most likely always will be. I can read people well, I have got a ton of experience playing on Blockland, about five or so years (and active, for the most part, for the entire time span). I may explain how I am only better at handling players, but I am willing to learn other things if told to do so or wished upon me (and maybe with help so that I am able to learn properly and efficiently).
I want to be able to offer the best playing experience to players on the server to the farthest possible extent by filtering out the negative/troublesome players from the positive players. I am usually able to spot a nuisance before it becomes a larger issue, and then I am able to effectively deal with the issue by avoiding further possible aggravation or problems related to the situation.
I may also be able to provide possible improvements, tweaks, and additions to the server by contributing ideas or something alike. I have a wonderful imagination, you'll find out, and when I get an idea, it's certainly a nice one. Unfortunately, most of my ideas aren't all that useful, and I'll keep them to myself-- but when I do get a good idea, I will share it.
This is how I might handle an issue concerning players (although it is obviously dependent on the situation how I may punish a player how I deem fit according to rules) is by warning them if they are being a nuisance to the server in any sort of way, if they continue I may warn them again or kick them, if they continue even then I might issue a ban. I realize you have a mute command, so I will make use of that also.
I'm also very much willing to answer questions for information-needy players and help out newbies to the server-- I prefer to keep the peace on any server to the extent of my power (whether I am admin or not). Another quality about myself, that I would consider positive, is that I am very unbiased towards most every single situation or topic. I try not to discriminate in any way, shape, or form. whether some may think it's a joke or not, it could be offensive to someone else out there, and I don't want to be starting up trouble myself if I were to be an admin. Being an admin means I'd be a possible role-model for other players, and if I start screwing around willy nilly, that may encourage other players to do so, also.

Ry: I can't figure out if this is the same Rexx who added me on steam and spammed the stuff out of me with horribly written sentences and the like, trying to ask me to proofread his application or not, since I declined his request (too busy to be an English teacher). If it is, someone else wrote this for him, which shows some degree of desire to be an admin but I don't think it shows any degree of competance. On the merits of this being written on his own this would be a monumental accomplishment, as his writing skills (last time I checked) were worse than Furling. I'll stay out of this one though.
Ipquarx: Jesus what is with people using Cca as a reccommendation? Stop doing that, seriously. Shady. As. forget. Also Aoki, again shady. But putting that aside, according to Ryk and Tophat this application doesn't match up with you whatsoever. Again super shady. Gonna have to say no.
Jetz: Feels weird approving 2 applications in one day, in a row, and/or for the same reason. Still, you seem competent. Yes.
Tophat: While reasoning may be nice, many of those recommendations are either alts, have been banned here on the server, or have been banned on the forums/VAC Steam ban. Considering you have a disorder I can't remember, the remarks you oftentimes give when unneeded and the other general comments that weren't welcomed were the reasons I broke contact on Steam. I generally dislike you and wouldn't accept you as an admin. Nothing personal. No.
Trifornt: Rexx is a good friend of mine, but I know that he's no admin. We met each other and got into an argument straight off the bat because he was being ignorant and mocking me. Also, as Tophat stated, your recommendations have either been banned on the server or have bad Steam reputation.Sorry, but I have to say No.
Soroxzion: Combine what Tophat, and Ipquarx said and you got my answer. No.
Marioguy0: Aoki, Cca, General R? None of these people are good recommendations. Two of them are very harmful for your app. No.
Visolator: The recommendations shot your app down below the ground. No.
