Introduction: Hey! My name is Alex, and as most of you know, my in game named is xAlexBearx. To start things off, I love traveling and eating all sorts of food. Every summer I travel to Europe, where I get to see new sights and try new types of food. One day, I plan to go to Asia or Australia and see all they offer, because I'm really intrigued with culture as a whole. Usually whenever I visit places, I document them by taking photos and sometimes even drawing things that are inspired by those places. I'm a sucker for art and photography, and visit museums when I can. In school, I took a photography, an art, and a theatre class, all of which evoked my biggest passions. I like a lot of things, but they all stem from one root. Creativity and Imagination. The reason the arts have clung tight to me as I've been growing up is that the rules aren't written, anyone can write the rules. I tend to be very studious and do well in most subjects, but I don't really like math and science. I found meep roughly a year after I started playing Meepcraft in 2013, and fell in love ever since because of it's vibrant community and wholesome experience. I've been playing for 4 years, and I decided that now is the time I want to give back to the community by becoming an architect.

Why should you be Architect? I'll take this step by step like last time, and really bring out what makes me a suitable candidate.

Experience: This is an open end umbrella that can cover various things, but specifically, I am used to being in a type of staff environment similar to meep's. I've learned to work under pressure when there's multiple tasks at hand, and I've learned to be organized when going about numerous projects.

Multi-Tasking: To bridge off of the last paragraph, I can easily multi task when there's many projects going on at one time. Whenever things need to be done at different deadlines, I can efficiently manage my time to get it done. If I don't meet a deadline, I will work hard to get that done and keep people updated about my progress. I'm a very social person, and when there's an important task at hand, if people want to know what's currently going on, I'll give them an in depth description and always keep them posted.

Social: Connecting to my last point, I'm social and really outgoing. While this might not be a necessary skill for an architect, this makes me better at collaborating with others and helps when making compromises that are because of an disagreement. More times than I thought, there were situations where we didn't have an effective plan or we came across an miscommunication and it proved to be useful when I could talk things out and smooth out the problem.

Creative: Basically the subject of my introduction, all the activities and things that I like to do all require me to use my mind to be creative and think outside the box. I can create ideas and then shape them into a realistic way or form, that can be doable and achievable for me. I think it's essential for me to be creative when building because it's what sets me apart from other people. When building, I always strive to make my builds memorable and just an inch farther from what's typical.

Easy Learner: I'm definitely am not perfect, and I still have a ton to learn. There are styles that I haven't ventured into yet and I'm happy to get to know them and explore them. I take criticism well, and always use it to benefit me. There are also times where I will struggle too when learning stuff, and I will make an effort to educate myself about it.

What builds have you completed on the server and where might they be located? I have a couple builds in creative, and in towny.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I'm gonna include photos from my last application because they're still recent and show my capabilities, but I've also included new ones too.

How much experience do you have using Voxel and Worldedit? I consider myself to have decent knowledge of world edit. I haven't used it in a couple months though, and I'll have to practice for a bit. I've already started brushing up so that if I do get accepted, It'll be easier for me to get started. I don't have as much knowledge of voxel as world edit, but I'm sure ill learn more in no time.

i love the builds!

 

your builds look great snor! they always do : ) +1 from me

 

Hello Alex,

I'm glad that you are interested in this position and I agree that you are a good candidate. Your builds are fine and spectacular, and your application is well written, almost impeccable. I especially like how you incorporated creativity, constant learning, and improvement.

Your last two applications were denied because the staff team thought that you needed additional improvement in order for them to accept you in the team, as most of your builds at the time were similar to the styles of architects that we already have.

It has only been a few weeks since your application got denied, and you are reapplying, which leads me to assume that you have made improvements worthy of reconsideration. Now I'm not an expert when it comes to architecture, so would you mind elaborating your improvements?

 

I've added the missing builds to the link and added a couple more because there was a lack of them, and I've been working vigorously hard
on what Hestia been talking about. I've been aware of it for a long time now. and I knew it was just a matter of crossing the road to the right path. While 2 weeks sounds like little to change personal conflicts and to change my want to add and add, my want to improve this was expressed on my last application and still is in my mind now.


-Edit-


For some reason, my eyes skipped over your middle paragraph and just read the first and last. My application was denied not because of similar styles or work, but there was a lack of photos over all.

 

Those maps are from what Oldchopper and you have built, we would like to see single projects and something new with voxel/we because the one provided looks basic. I do not see anything that stands out from a lot of the players on the server.

Some insight as to what capabilities we would like to see:

• Architect Application
• Arch application

 

Thank you. If the we builds aren't up to par, is this application denied then?

 

Just comment it on your app or edit it.

 

I added the kitpvp map from last time, however if that isn't enough, I'll try squeezing another one in the next few days.

 

Your app is amazing and your builds are even better. Btw the train is on miniarch's plot in creative. Did you build it there? Also, didn't you just apply like 2 weeks ago? I'm still a +1 but please clarify why you built on an architect's plot.

 

Before he became an architect, we both wanted to do a build together for fun, and we decided on a western theme. Originally we both worked on the terraforming, but then he got busy because of arch and couldn't build anymore. I continued the build and built all the houses, the train station, and the other bits.

I applied 2 weeks ago, got denied for a lack of photos, reapplied yesterday with numerous new photos and I will continue to add more through out the course of this application.

 

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Beware of the Pumpkin Man!

Beware!

 

Definitely a yes for me

Not only did alex improved his building skills he also created a style of his own
Being creative means experimenting, i've seen how Alex creates most wonderfull builds with blocks you might have thought they would never fit
He's a great win when building together and will never leave a build unfinished even if everyone else gave up

 

Thanks for the response. I couldn't imagine that you will get denied for a lack of photos when you have 19, but I guess they are asking for improvement.

If you feel like you have vastly improved, then you are ready for arch trials!

Last time I was considering not even posting any photos at all, because of a huge misunderstanding Courtney and I had. While I had a decent amount of photos, a ton of them were repeats of the same thing from different angles. I totally think that the denial was appropriate, if I had known about the miscommunication earlier. Then again, there was no knowing that I wasn't getting the message they were communicating and vise versa.

Another build coming soon, should come in the next few days.

 

Too bad you are not getting the chance to post it here, best of luck.
