Denied Daveeeeeeeee's Builder Application

Would you consider yourself experienced with WorldEdit? Why? - I would consider myself fairly experienced with WorldEdit as I have been using it for several years on McBuild and other servers I have built on. I don’t use it as much anymore due to the fact that I prefer to build my hand as I think it is cleaner, however for larger scale builds I would definitely use it more. I also don’t use it as much as it is very restricted on McBuild and I don’t build anywhere else anymore.
Would you consider yourself experienced with VoxelSniper? Why? - Yet again I would consider myself somewhat experienced with VoxelSniper. I used to be a builder on Brawl and MunchyMC, both of these servers had the plugin on their respective Build Team servers. I would often practice VoxelSniper on Brawl’s Build Team server but I haven’t had access to it for a while so I’m fairly rusty with it. However, I don’t think it would be too hard to pick up again as it’s quite easy to learn especially with all the tutorials around now.

How active would you be on Brawl's Build Team? (A couple hours per week, one hour per day, etc.) - I have a fairly tight schedule on weekdays at the moment due to the fact that I cannot get on to my pc till 9pm (4pm EST) where I roughly have an hour before I come off. I’d much rather spend this time playing CTF with friends or playing in PPM’s etc. Therefore, most of my time would come at the weekends where I could probably contribute a couple of hours on both Saturday and Sunday depending on what I am doing. Overall, this would probably total to about 2-5 hours a week.
Why do you want to join Brawl's Build Team? - I enjoyed being a builder before because it gave me opportunities to help the server by creating maps for the gamemodes easier. I have noticed that there doesn’t seem to be much building progress at the moment and was interested in helping out again. The majority of people know why I was demoted from my position before but if people wanted to know why they could pm me. I have been trying to improve this aspect of my character for quite a while and I believe that I am becoming more mature and respectable. I have only received 2 warnings and 1 mute in the past 3 months which is a lot better than what I was getting before. I still tend to argue with people a lot about things but that is more my personality and I wouldn’t say it’s always a bad thing, only when I get carried away with arguing with someone (which I have also tried to improve). A lot of people would say that they were scared of me several months ago, however now I think I have a lot more friendly outlook. I think becoming builder again will help me continue to mature and become a better person, online and in real life. Also obviously want the perks of the rank looll!

What would you consider your greatest strength with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - My greatest strengths would probably be detailing, trees and terraforming. Sometimes I have a tendency to over-detail things, I’m currently trying to reduce this by using other techniques to make things look nicer such as scaling and block palettes rather than detailing everything. I’m also quite good at building trees and have created lots of trees for people, I began building trees back on McPvP and players such as Fawely and EddKrumbs helped me a lot by showing me how they made theirs. While I still use some aspects of their trees, I have discovered my own style and I think that they look pretty nice. As well as this, I used to be pretty good at making organics however I find it harder to create them now as I don’t have access to VoxelSniper anymore. Finally, I would mention that I am pretty good at terraforming, currently I do most of my terrain work by using WorldEdit as a base then making it look nicer by editing it with hand however I am also comfortable with using VoxelSniper to form terrain for larger builds.
What would you consider your greatest weakness with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - My greatest weaknesses would most likely be houses and statues. I wouldn’t say that I am too bad at creating houses however I often make them too square and they look fairly boring. I have improved quite a lot at them especially by making different shaped houses such as circular ones but I would definitely consider it a weakness still. I’m also not too good at statues but that is mainly because I have never found the need to practice them.

List any previous experience you have with building - I started building 4-5 years ago on McPvP. I wasn’t really that good but I built with a lot of good builders and practised a lot, there have been times however where I have lost interest and taken a break however I do think that comes with most games and things in life. I have been a member of the Brawl Build Team in the past and the MunchyMC Build Team as well before that. During my time on the Brawl Build Team I helped with the Battle Royale Map, a couple of War2.0 Maps and a few other things. I was also offering commissions at the time on McMarket however I got banned on there as I was too young. About 6-8 months ago I was also fairly active on a creative server called AevaMC which offered a lot of plugins and had a cool system of ranking up but I did eventually get bored of it.

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.) I have more builds than these however these are some of my better and more recent ones. If you would like to see more images of my builds feel free to PM me.

When I said that I think arguing is ok I meant that like debating/discussing things is good until it becomes a flame war. It is something I've been trying to improve by holding myself back more which was the thing I was referring to when I said it's "not ok to carry on arguing with someone after a while". If you want me to I could try and explain this further in pms since I'm not really sure what to say.

I usually build with default texture pack however often I will take the screenshots a few days after I have actually finished building the map, this often means that I will have another texture pack on and I'm not really bothered enough to change it back to the default for screenshots.

Thank you for the feedback though!

 

Thank you

 

Yep cheers.

Thank you!

 

Thank you )

 

Thank you for the feedback however by the "recent feud" I believe you are talking about, I think that the other person was being completely ridiculous by not listening to any of the criticism or feedback I gave him even though he asked for some, just because I did not originally suggest any improvements doesn't mean it is not classified as feedback. I then feel as if I left the argument farely well even if I perhaps did rant on a little bit too much, I didn't think it was fair to just leave off the argument where he wanted it to especially when I was just pointing out that he was being slightly stupid by taking such an offense over my dislike to his block palette. I don't know if that makes sense?

 

Definitely will do but I do feel like he was trying to instigate an argument, though next time I'll do more to restrict and stop myself from arguing back.

 

There are more than 4 structures in those images, they are actually albums so there are more than those 4 pictures if you didn't realise. However thanks for the feedback, I have identified structures as a weakness and I am slowly improving it.

 

Thanks for the feedback and I completely understand with the minor aggression, I'm still slightly aggressive towards people I don't really like which I should try to not be. Will be something I'll try to work on.
