    Minecraft Username - frostedsquids
    Timezone - Atlantic.

    Would you consider yourself experienced with WorldEdit? Why? - Yeah. I know WE. I understand how it works. I've played minecraft build since before it went public. I own map 59. It's one of the earliest maps on build, most of the ones before were just admins testing stuff and early testers maps. I have boatloads of expirence

    Would you consider yourself experienced with VoxelSniper? Why? - Yes. I used it when I was a mod+. It's great.

    How active would you be on Brawl's Build Team? (A couple hours per week, one hour per day, etc.) - Depends. Going into gr12, so probably like on weekends.

    Why do you want to join Brawl's Build Team? - I want to advise people and help out again, and minecraft is sort of soothing for me to play. I've been a staff member before. This will probably get denied because I just sort of decided to be sort of active again, but I figured why not.

    What would you consider your greatest strength with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - I'm good at gameplay design. I think that all that other stuff I sort of sucked at but then I got ok at once I built stuff over and over and over.

    What would you consider your greatest weakness with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - I'm slow.

    List any previous experience you have with building -

    I've been a build mod+ on mcpvp's version of build two times. During this time I had 12 maps go into rotation, worked with sephel on minature maps for mcpvps MLG collabaration, worked with other staff on multiple lobbies, and helped a **** ton of people do stuff. However, being totally frank, I was an immature prick the first time I got mod, and an arrogent mofo to top that too. I muted a guy named looparound for swearing, and eventually got demoted. However, I worked around that, and got back accepted into being a mod again. I also have never applied for being a moderator, I've been asked every time, so this whole applying thing is funky. I left mcpvp to do a startup with some of the admins from mcpvp, as there was a lot of anger from the staff directed towards hclewk. I was a primary mod on this server (minebunch), and was helping setup gamemodes and base maps, but we ran out of money to launch the server, and intrest in mc was also waning at that time as well.

    I also was an admin on a startup for a new sabotage gamemode back when sabotage was first released on mcpvp with Awesomejim123 (first sabotage mod ever, haven't been able to contact him to get pictures of the builds, they were pretty good).

    Pictures: (Include as many pictures of your builds as you can. If you do not include pictures, your application will be automatically denied. When possible, include proof that the builds are your own.)

    (btw a fair chunk of these may come up in google image search, but if you like, look under my maps on the server, they're mine)

    Some of these pictures might have a lot of chests or woll blocks or weird stuff sticking out. That's just because a lot of them had to have those for the gamemodes they were made for. Also some may look like tiny arenas, those were for mcpvps smash mode, or for minigames for mcpvps MLG contract

    I get if this gets a no. Or a maybe later. I've had maturity issues in the past. I totally can talk about that and accept that. But like dudebro I miss helping people and advising. I have a ****ton of expirence. Like a metrick ****load. I know how to moderate and chill people out. I know how to do basically everything on build. If this gets denied at least be like "yo dude you gotta do x for y period of time". I get it. I'll probably have to do stuff and be active or something.

    You realise this is an app for the build team, not build JMod, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

    I don't remember you from mcpvp, maybe because I didn't know too much about Minecraft and Staff in that time (I was a so random player).
    But well, your application (if it's true) you've a lot of experience and that's great. It seems like you're applying for JMOD+ on Build but sometimes it seems like you're applying for build team. I think you could made a better application.

    About your builds, they're great, a tiny part of them looks a little lacklustred but they're still being good. I don't have any problem with them, I think they're in the level you need to.

    For me it's a +0.5, I think you're application is confuse, and it seems like you're not being too mature to get into the build team. It also shows you wont be active a lot.

    That's partially my bad, I assumed build team was a jmod kind of deal. Activity is also true, as this year school > games. I just have buckets of expirence, and like advising people and helping make builds like even more extra whoa. Figured why not apply for something.

    While Builders are considered staff, we only get the perks of regular players. JMods can mute, ban and kick. Builders only get Elite perks. We build the maps for the server gamemodes and we are expected to act like staff. I do recognize your name from McPvP.

    +0.5, you made some good builds in the build comps however I would like to see some more. You have proven that you are more mature than you were on mcpvp bt it is mainly the builds.

    I'm confused, are you looking to be a builder or a staff member? For builder I'd give it a +1. Your builds are very good and in my opinion a lot of activity is not necessarily needed when you are a builder.
    However, if you are looking to apply for staff it'd have to be a -1 due to your teamspeak activity, in-game activity, and forum count.
    As an overview, however, it's important to act maturely when in a professional situation as well. I'm sure you know that though, and even though your application wasn't as mature as others, your comments show otherwise so I'm willing to overlook it.

    Does anyone still have screenshots from when he completely destroyed the MCPVP Build lobby when Hclewk promoted that Brazilian youtuber to admin and MCPVP was caving in on itself?

    Beautiful artwork.

    I figured somebody would bring this up. As a side note, I owned the mcpvp lobby. I was put in charge of making it. And I did grief it. Not because of some YouTube admin (that was dumb), but because I was told it was going to be canned anyway. Also, Mcpvp had been using some of my assets without my permission, which I didn't think was cool.

    I absolutly can see how that would be a maturity thing, and agree with you, that if you just knew me from that, you'd probably think I was a dick. But you don't know the whole story, or probably even half of it. I understand you yourself are under pressure for calling out a player and saying they're a terrorist. Do you see me bringing that up? No, because I don't know the full story, and also don't give a ****.

    To the dudes saying this looks like a mod app, I just put some mod expirence stuff because I figured why not. I totally get if some of you think I'm immature, but I'm pretty damn good at building, and I'm not applying for a mod position anyway. Also if you bring up a reason for me being immature, I'd gladly talk about it.

    As a fun side note, I got banned from mcpvp buy nom, for greifing my own said lobby. That wasn't going to be in rotation, and I had explicitly said I did not give mcpvp permission to use, but they were going to anyway. So I might as well be up front about that

    Cool beans. I've built maps before, and can act like staff. Nice!

    Thank you for clarifying. I believe in giving you a chance if others thing so as well. I know you can build, I wanted to see how you would respond to this being brought up.

    Awesomecakes. I've totally made bad decisions as a mod, as has everyone, but I really like to build so that's why I apped here.

    Okay. Overall: +1. You built most have the Arenas from Mcpvp. You're also amazing with world edit, terraforming, etc because you've had so much experience. Good luck mr. squids

    First slide:


    Also I think build team is more about build skills than maturity, so I don't see any reason for squids to not be let on. I also don't even think he's that immature so I don't think it would be a problem.

    Actually, that wasn't me, or even my lobby if I recall.

    Here:

    that's my hub, or what I can access. I mostly just deleted stuff. I don't like oz, nor do I think he was right. He was a dingus. Writing #exposethecorruption isn't my style. I'm sure you've all heard of my reputation as the "famous hub greifer", but there was a lot more to this story. I owned the map at all times, and was allowed to do what I wanted with it. Was it immature to delete it? Sure, but this was at a point where there was a lot more going on then the average player knows about.

    Sure, you owned the map you eventually destroyed, but were you the sole contributor to it?

    No. You were not.

    When you griefed that map, you griefed the work of at least 11 other contributors.

    Being on a build team means what you build isn't all about you. It's about collaborating with others. If you disagree with the policies of a server you're building for, leave and don't build on/for the server. Don't destroy the work of the team in a tantrum.

    For that reason, I would give a -1.

    However, you are a talented builder and have built impressive things in the past. Perhaps you've matured, but that's up to the members of the build team to decide. Good luck.

    Woa now. Woah. Firstly, 11 isn't the number. I don't remember the exact number, but it sure wasn't 11. It was mostly myself, blob, and aj if I recall. Secondly, I was in charge. Me. As in, me. I owned it. I was in charge of the project. If I wanted to make the map into a giant watermelon, I could have. Everyone was aware of that, and if you were not, you could look under /perm. I was the owner.

    Now, rationally, would making the map into a watermelon be a good leadership call? Probably not. Actually, it wouldn't. And I've said sorry to you for it. I am sorry. Every other person on the team, I was skyping, or I'd talked to before. That I can remember. I'm sorry that I deleted your work, and I don't expect for you to apologize. Poor leadership on my part.

    Greifing? No. It was my project. Greifing is destroying somebody elses stuff. Poor leadership is what I did. Not greifing. I'm sorry. I remember being good friends with you, and I apologise for what happened.

    However, there was a lot happening at mcpvp. It wasn't just "hey, squid went crazy and deleted a map". It was, there was dissent among the staff, people were leaving, some admins were going to make a new server, hclewk promoted somebody based only on youtube view count, who promptly abused on his first day, and still remained an admin. It was a bad enviroment. I had explicatly stated that I didn't want mcpvp to use my maps. I'd worked very, very hard on making a great many amazing maps. And yet nothing was done. So i started deleting my own maps. Immature? Totally. Greifing? No.

    There was stuff going on. More then I'm even going to say here. A lot of stuff, and a lot of people being dicks on the internet.

    Nomnuggetnom (the admin who banned me for deleting my maps) even eventually said he wouldn't have banned me. I've totally said some dick things to him before, and been an absolute tool towards him.

    And the admins who were in charge of build at the time, and my bosses at the time, both invited me to join their start up server. I get that I offended you bird. I'm sorry for that. But I'm tired of the "immature" tag following me around. Or "greifer". Yes, deleting the map was a dick move. But does that make me a dick? One bad move when the workplace was ****? I don't think it does. I had over a year of moderating, during which I was popular with players, active, and had responsibility. I was trusted with making minimaps for an mcpvp contract with MLG. Sephel and I were the only ones who even made those maps. I've made a lot of stuff. I've had a lot of moderating experience. All the admins who were in charge of the build mods didn't repremand me for my actions. LlamasATA said I was the best builder on mcpvp. Minebunch asked me to join their private beta server to help build their maps. I've done a lot of work, and I've helped a lot of people become better builders.

    (wizard and sephels skype messages to me)

    I'm a builder. I'm pretty damn good. That's what I want to do. And help people. Don't let one poor leadership choice, that yes, hurt people, define me. That's not me. Don't forget the other things that I've done.
