Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible). I cannot give the IP. Donuts Don't Have Farms Only because they went down, like the old sugar rush. I know it isnt gaurd but I considered it relevant because it was police
Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room? Yes I have, You know because Donuts Don't Have Farms
Why should we pick you to be out next guard? I am always down to welcome those new prisoners, I like to have fun but not at the cost of offending other people. I know this would be the right job for me for as I feel like that I could be a well placed role model for keeping the players at bay for having some all around fun! I am very lenient for innocent players but as merciful I am, I am always down to put the criminals to justice. I know I wasn't a very good police on sugar rush that long time ago. But tides have turned and I am ready to open the book to authority.

Why should we pick you to be out next guard? I believe that I would be the best choice for guard because I have lots of experience with a leadership or protective position. I am a very kind person, am willing to help anyone upon request, and am an easy person to get along with. I am always open to suggestions or correction and take them very seriously. I am very laid back and love to have fun but I can always ?get down to business?!I am a very outgoing person and always welcome new people. I never want anyone left out and feel i bad when they are. I believe that anyone and everyone should be included no matter their race, religion, or opinions. I have spent countless hours gaining money to rank up. However, I don?t always think ?me, me, me?. I love to help others. I also try to spend lots of time getting to know the guards, wardens, and other prisoners on the server. I believe this is a key part in having a truly amazing time on the server.I consider myself a decent PVP-er but definitely not the best. I am currently working on improving that by practicing day by day. I also hope that, as I grow closer to the guards that I can take their suggestions and use them to improve upon, thus helping the server and me.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my application! It is much appreciated. halben19998

Do you have any experience with other prison servers?
Yes, I've been playing prison servers since December of 2011.

Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible).
Yes, guarding has been the main I've been staying with the prison genre. The main ip's are prison.techge3ks.com, mc-convicted.org, mcp-mcs.org (O.O), and a couple of other small prisons where anyone can get guard where I guarded for like a day or two.

Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room?
Yes, Donuts Don't Have Farms. (but they do, it is called Krispy Kreme).

Why should we pick you to be our next guard?
You should pick me as your next guard because I'm very experienced in the matter. I know how to respond to different situations that guards have to deal with on a regular basis. I'm pretty good at pvp which is important. I am mature enough to where I can realize that it is just a game and to not rage over it, which will control any grudges I might have whilst on duty. I plan to be around for the long haul.

Why Should We Pick You To Be Our Next Moderator?  I would like to become Moderator on MCP because I would like everyone to see me as a role model.  I would like to see more people who first join MCP to stay and get respected better.  When a new player joins only 3 people say Welcome and i'm one of them.  I want to see everyone be equally treated with respect.  The most important thing to me is respect.  I live in real life and on minecraft by the Golden Rule.  I am on everyday and want to keep the chat clean.  People have told me that there never going to come back on MCP because the way they were treated. I really want this to stop.  I am well respected and respect others.  I have Matured over the past year or so on MCP and know how to handle situations and problems that people have. I can answer questions with great Detail.  I will use the permissions that i would get Properly and Carefully. I would Mute people for the right time, the first time, and also ban people for the time they deserve.  I won't PvP randomly I will only PvP if i need to defend myself. I am aware how to use the commands and The Strike System.  I Welcome players who have just joined with showing them around because i know where everything and can tell anyone if they need help. 

Additional Information: 15 years of Age and on most of the day everyday. I have other Moderating experience and understand the commands.  Have any questions or just want me on mcp send me an email at davidseanfallon@aol.com

Why should we pick you to be out next guard? You should pick me as your next guard because there should be more guards active online ign because every now and  then I see riots and guards dying and new ranks dying, and I want to help the community be fun and safe for new comers. I follow and can stick with the guard/mcp rules and it is easily put into my mind. I am also a good/decant pvper, i still have the pvp in my soul. Also I noticed new players and I want them to feel like there in a safe community. I am loyal and respectful to all ranks and I have played mcp for how long now. Also I am aware of that people are going to say you shouldn't pick me because he messed up last time, but I can prove to you that this will be the best one. I don't abuse or ever will and for example is stocking up chain armor, swords, bows. I will try my hardest, thank you.

What is your rank on the server? Baron

Do you have any experience with other prison servers? No

Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank. I have but I can't remember the server's names.

Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room? Yes I have read them over multiple times.

Why should we pick you to be out next guard? I deserve guard because I have experience as guard meaning I won't break as many rules as a C-Guard. Also most guards just go on their alts or don't play at all. I feel as if most guards get farmed off of and there is a lot of contraband, I feel as if I won't be so easy to farm meaning, 1. Less contraband, and 2. Lower riots. Also I look forward to surpassing my record of ranking on guard. I will make sure there will be a lower number of riots, I will call anything I see. If I have any questions I will ask a staff member. If I see any abusing/ cheating etc. I will report it to Silas and let him take care of it. I will be a mature guard and most guards aren't mature. I will be an active guard and get on Around 5-6 hours a day depending on what I'm doing. I will put  my entire effort in to guard and make sure I never go on any alts and don't abuse. I will follow any rules and if I break a rule, I will make sure I learn the new rule and follow it 100%. Guards today are inactive or get on 30 minutes - 1 hour a day. I will alert Silas if I see anything wrong with the server. I will tell Silas about any bug's/ glitches. I will help Silas if he needs anything testing, PvP, etc. All around I just want to make the prison a better place by recommending it to my friends and making sure C-Blockers read the rules. Also I would like to be guard because I have been guard in the past and have experience. I will be an active guard. Silas you probably think I will break the rules and do all the other stuff I used to do honestly I ACTUALLY want guard this time. The other times guard was just a way to kill time. I know I have been immature in the past but I hope to change the way you look at me. I would look forward to coming on each day and I know I haven't been active lately but I will change that. This is my last shot at guard so after this you won't see SnipedYall's Guard Application on the forums anymore. MCP has been losing a lot of players lately and I will try to invite as many people as I can. I hope you read this app and thanks for reading if you do. Also obviously donuts don't have farms
Thanks for reading this app
-SnipedYall

How to make a good application that will get Silas to consider your entry into the ranks:


1.Always title your application [Player Name's { Type of application } Application]

Doing this gives your application a look of officialism, and for some reason that's really turns the Wardens on-- if you know what I mean.



2.Copy and paste this format onto your post.  This also gives the application a sense of officialism, and well, one step closes to making a warden very happy.

What is your IGN?
When can you play on MCP?
What is your timezone?
What is your rank on the server?
Do you have any experience with other prison servers?
Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible).
Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room?
Why should we pick you to be out next guard?


3.Don't make an application that's literally the size of index finger.  But don't make it super long too, like the size of _Efex's mom's butt (the whole screen).  Keep it about the length of this:

[                                                                                                                                                                  ]




Meaningful Sentences





[                                                                                                                                                                  ]

There are secrets to making your answers looking 100% more professional.

1)IGN : Just put your in-game name in this box, nothing else.

2)When : Be honest, if you can spend your time 24/7 on the server, say it.  Wardens like active guards.  However, if you can only get on like, one hour a day, state that too, but afterwards, say how that hour will be well spent improving the community or some crap.

3)Timezone : Put your timezone, short form and long. (ex. Eastern Time {EST})

4)Rank :  Put your rank, nothing else.

5)6)  Experience : If you have experience, excellent.  Put how long you served, where you served, and when you served.  If you don't, MCP is a great place to start. -- hint hint that's great to put into the app.

7)Rules : Yes, you've read the rules, but do you understand them 100%?  Wardens want staff who understand the rules so they don't have to constantly refer to the rules page every 10 minutes, plus, you might screw up if you don't and get demoted.  READ THE RULES OVER 7 TIMES. After you do so, explain how you have read the rules, and understand them completely.

8)Why : The most important part, we need a longer paragrapgh.

What Wardens want in staff:

To do more than their job
To do their job efficiently and correctly
To encourage the growth of MCP

Include how if you get the job, you promise to commit your time to do your job efficiently and correctly, how you won't just DO your job, but you'll also encourage the friendliness and growth that MCP (a community server) should have.

Make these parts detailed.  How? Remember these from like grade one?

What; How; Why

USE THEM!! -- It adds a lot of length!

Conclusion:  Add a short and respectable  conclusion to your application that thanks the reader for their time.  Also add your contacts for possible future interviews.

Here is an example application that includes all these tips:


What is your IGN? PointlessBob
When can you play on MCP? Three Hours a day, and I promise to make that time useful.
What is your timezone? Eastern Time {EST}
What is your rank on the server? Baron
Do you have any experience with other prison servers? Yes, I've been on several such as Killion and Bane's.
Do you have any experience with guarding? Give a list of servers and your guard rank (IP if possible).  I have been a guard on MCP two times, A-Guard and C-Guard.
Have you read both the guard rules and the prisoner rules, even the ones in the info room?  I have read the rules multiple times and I understand them completely.  I always try to check on a weekly basis for new rules and changes that may have occurred.
Why should we pick you to be out next guard?
I am the correct choice for the next guard because I can preform my job professionally without problem.  I've gained much experience over the years on several different servers, including yours.  I know how the rules work and how to execute them with ease.  I could be a one of a kind guard for MCP because I love to do more than my job and encourage server growth and strengthen the community.  I will do this by using the time I am on MCP to encourage people online to vote and/or donate, make new friends with my outstanding attitude, and help others out when other ranks are not on.
I really enjoy guarding good community prison servers, such as MCP.  I have a passion for the job and I would invest my time to make MCP a better place.

Thank you for reading this application and I hope you take this into consideration.  If you need further contact, you can talk to me at these places:
-MCP
-xFire (xToosalty)
-TeamSpeak (MCP-MCS.com)



And there you have it, a professional looking application for MCP.  These tricks can be used for other applications too, like the Moderator app (seen below).
