FIRST robotics? Colour me jealous.

Don't see much of that in Alberta high schools. <sigh> if only...


In other news, I can get on!

How do I get to Hammersong? And how do I join?

Unrelated: I did FIRST in high school.


I can refer people too.

With the understanding that you'll at least consider joining The Wall before going off somewhere else.


No. You are not to refuse posting apps on the merit of them potentially joining a specific nation.
But Emp! You misunderstand, these are REFERRAL Apps!

No.

What I think of Nevyn's Fail-Application

If someone is unwilling to improve then they are more than likely not getting in. However, those who are willing to improve have been shown to do much much better.

Considering he joined a few days ago and stated that he was the same Emp, not really.

Not being disrespectful if he actually is but he doesn't sound like it and the real if this one is or is not would probably be too busy to get on the DF forums.

Look, he's the real Emp.

He's 21, and he's on the Penny Arcade forums as well (N@W started as a PA server).

He's even referenced on the N@W forums and in IRC that he's registered on the Bay12 forums, and has made his opinions about Bay12 (including what he's posted on this thread) in Joining Applications.

Do you need more proof? 

Edit for proof: Emp's Penny Arcade Profile http://forums.penny-arcade.com/profile/Empirical


This account could easily be faked to look like mine, it's not like all the info I've provided isn't readily available but yes, this is me. On the off chance it isn't, all the information I've provided is still correct regardless of the matter.

Thanks bunches for those links, Empirical. Had a great laugh reading them. The last one was, by far, the best.

I would sign up for the server, (as I'm sure I would be able to follow the directions better than those guys) but I don't play Minecraft obsessively. And I find it difficult to play on servers because I have literally not seen a single one that doesn't have gamebreaking lag.


If you're lagging on our server: A) It's b/c something is going wrong somewhere (not common) or B) You're on a toaster.
C) your in another country that has medium speed Boardband such as Australia... At best I am getting a 1sec lag between digging and 1-3 second lag betweens swing and damage. While Mobs get a 0sec lag between that and me taking damage...
Also makes running away hard some times, cause I sometimes rubberband around 3 tiles every few seconds...


Damn Aussies.
Lets also not forget this odd glitch were I seem to be constantly slipping. Hex had to save me from it by destroying the block I was on...


Damn Aussies.

do do do.

Well, ive been around the fourms in bay12 for the better part of a year now, you cant expect me to get my grammer and spelling right all the time. Im not making up im dislexic here.
Sure if i need to post on the fourms ill make an effort if asked, but i can assure you i am completely 100% comprehensable, i just annoy people who are used to good spelling.

If youde like me to build something on minecraft and screenshot it as my application example then im willing to put in the effort for it.

if youde like to give me a bit of a run down on whats wrong with my application then ill happly change it, but it feels a bit stupid to put an application process in place, just to have everyone basicaly copy the right set of words to gain entry.

I also understand the adult atmosphere here, but this is  a game. Like i said, let me know what i would need to do to prove my ability in minecraft to join if you want anything specific.


Hell just mention you're dyslexic. Also, spelling won't kill you unless it's just outright awful. You don't have to build something, pictures just help a lot.



Not sure if should try hand at application writing...

Eh, go for it.



Can you just get the texture pack that the game has? It is the best I have ever seen. And then there's the other client mod... What does that add? Sorry if this is kind of a derail.


Use the texture pack as you please, it's mixture of other packs with editing on some and a few custom. We'll be updating it again soon as we didn't finish making everything 32x yet (item.png). Don't touch the client mod, it's both out of date and only works on our server. We use a launcher now for our client mod, but again it only works for our server.




Other notes:

By just being from Bay12 your chances are already increased as the serve recognizes the community. Pictures are nice but not needed, and hell if you want to post DF stuff go for it.

Would a screenshot of DF architectural absurdity work as "things you've done"?


MC ideally but hell lets have it. I'm curious.

I'm one of the admins for the NAW server, with that said:

If you'd like to apply you're more than welcomed to. Barring you didn't just make an account or have some absurdly low post count (this is just to weed out people who joined to get in through other means). I more than welcome the bay12 community.

For those of you who have issues applying to get onto a server, I understand your plea. We had some personal issues going forward with this but it has proved to be rather useful in weeding out stupid. I'll even post some of the worst apps we've come across shortly. For now, just think of them as dossier's. It's great seeing an amazing app and thinking "I want him". It's also amusing seeing a really terrible one at times (albeit depressing giving how many there are).

With that said, good luck.
