Member Name FamousZAmos Additional In Game Names: N/A How old are you? 15 Location: Houston, Texas Do you have Discord? Yes How many hours per day do you play MeepCraft? (weekdays) 2-4 How many hours per day do you play MeepCraft? (weekends) 4-12 hours Have you ever been architect or builder on this or any other server? Yes References: Please give IGN's @bloodyghost, @creepersareokay, @Vexmae, @JeterPan Introduction: Hello, I'm FamousZAmos, or as most of you know me, "Zamos". I'm 15, and I love to build, pvp, or just hang out on Meepcraft. I know at one point I was notoriously toxic but lately I believe I have mellowed out and stopped being a pain for staff and others. If I'm not on Meepcraft I'm probably trying to beat some insane Geometry Dash levels or doing schoolwork :/ Why should you be Architect? In my opinion I would be a very beneficial architect for the server, here are a few unique ways in which I am able to benefit the server:

Background: I come from a unique background. I've done almost everything in Minecraft, including (but not limited to) Meepcraft, competitive and noncompetitive pvp, adventure/puzzle map design, and parkour. I plan on submitting a challenging remake of a popular Meepcraft parkour course soon so we'll see.

Skills: Skills-wise, I am good at creating non-generic builds, capable of landscapes and terraforming, and knowledgeable about /ast. The only thing I'm admittedly not remarkable at building is large, generic buildings. I enjoy making small natural scenes (caves and waterfalls and greenery) and finding creative ways to use blocks.

Benefit: I believe of all the Architects I would be the Architect most experienced in other fields (such as building pvp/ctf/parkour creating for the server) due to my unusual background. I do think I would need to invest time to learn all the ins and outs of Voxel and WorldEdit, but I believe the pros outweigh the cons in my case.

Easy to Collaborate with: Anyone I've ever worked with on Meepcraft will tell you I'm very easy to work with (as in the case of JeterPan and myself's Terrarium revamp or me and bloodyghost's town) I don't attach massive value to getting "my way" and I believe this is a valuable trait for staff, especially Architects What builds have you completed on the server and where might they be located? On the server I have built (or worked on):
Peachstreet's new "broken" roads
Bastion (where the gods live, not the spawn)
The Terrarium revamp (I believe CluelessKlutz and some others saw it when it was build, screenshots provided)
My big sandstone/redclay castle in creative
The sewers in Peachstreet
The things I provided screenshots of
/pwarp cards (not grind, that is NOT mine and I take no blame/credit for how that looks) Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I realize I have been rude in the past, maybe a bit spiteful and I'd like to apologize once again for any of my past actions. I can assure you it won't happen again. I've changed and I hope you can forgive me for my actions.

I hope I can move forward and grow as both a community member and also as a person. How much experience do you have using Voxel and Worldedit? Voxel/Worldedit hmmm....

I used MCEdit almost daily for probably a year or two (map creation and custom items) and have used worldedit on rare occasions. (also am proficient with WorldPainter). However, I'm an extremely fast learner and have experience with 3dmodeling, custom worlds/worldeditors, and the like. I think Worldedit will be easy to re-learn and finer details of the program will come naturally in a short time. Not too sure about Voxel but I think it will be easy enough to pick up, just have to watch some tutorials.

I've seen your town, and the builds look amazing! I think you'd make a good architect. The introduction is a tad short, people use the intro to really get to know you as a person. Also, previously in chat you have been a little bit toxic, even though you are a cool guy to hang around with! +/- for me, good luck! :)

Seems like he's trying to candyarse his way to architect.

A good staff member has continuous decent behavior and activity, not just a week of you shoving bull down everyone's throats while you pretend to be changed. Look how it has worked out in the past, every single time: PseudoGod, Spider_Strike, rAwsondayc, Muunkee, Summrs. All acted decently as staff but showed their true selves after being demoted or resigning.

Before you get to it - no one changes. You can pretend to be someone you're not when in reality you can't change your sarcastic, demeaning attitude.

You mention a "unique background." I'm not sure what about your "unique background" relates to building. Competitive and noncompetitive PvP? No. Adventure/puzzle map design? Maybe. Parkour? No. It's like you are applying for the wrong job except there is no right job to apply for because you lack the required qualifications.

I think that you deserve to be a Architect! Because you have a talent! I wish you best of luck in the application and in the compatition! +1

•Your builds are mediocre
•You say a lot of inappropriate things in global and can be toxic at times
•I personally would not trust you with any perms or with staff chat

I think you’ve got good ideas, but they don’t have enough detail or hold much of a wow factor. I’d like to see bigger builds and projects.

You’re also pretty condesending and defensive when no one is really doing anything to you. I know you’re a mature player when it comes to stuff that matters, but you need to tone it down a bit.

In summary, you’re builds need to be bigger, and have more detail before I could see you being a good canidate on the architect team.

-1.

+1 Your builds are great and and you a nice guy but sometimes you can still show some remains of being toxic but that doesnt mean you cant change.

good point, but my real life has changed drastically in the last few months. I'm not pretending to be a better person, I'm acting more like I do irl than I ever have on Meepcraft, and trying to not be a toxic dipstick anymore.

an opinion (also untrue; alex77034 and oKling have both asked me to apply for architect in the past, and due to the recent loss of another architect I decided to apply independent of anyone else's desicion. Believe what you will, but that's the truth.)

Your builds are mediocre

this is not to say these builds are bad, but what you consider "mediocre" was enough for another player to become an architect

~ @alex77034

I'll upload a larger project as soon as I can, these are just screenshots from Meepcraft.

Have been working on this. This is my main weakness and I continue to work towards becoming a more positive, kind player.

In summary, you’re builds need to be bigger, and have more detail before I could see you being a good canidate on the architect team.

I'll add a larger-scale build as soon as I can complete one. Expect something more remarkable by the 11th

Some quick general factors I'd like to note:

Toxicity:
Players can change. Not only that, but to quote CluelessKlutz himself: "The toxic players become the greatest staff". Think about the current staff team. I won't name any names, but probably 50% of the team right now have/had absolutely caustic personalities at one point, but because they know how to handle themselves, normal players don't see it and aren't affected by it. I don't believe these actions are 100% excusable, but I believe the good usually outweighs the bad.

Leaking:
It is hardly possible for me to leak. Of all my friends, a grand total of 1 still actively plays Meep, and that player is already staff so there's no worry of me leaking. If a project is secret, I can keep my mouth shut about it.

Community Involvement:
I play Meepcraft daily, at a broad range of times. I also use discord and forums frequently.

Thanks for reading my replies. If you have any more questions by all means ask them and I'll try to respond promptly

Not sure why you had to link those past builds, this is your application but okay. Those were the only builds I had at the time; I was under the impression that staff knew about my others (Which were linked in my latest application).

In addition to that, my impression of a good build at the time was this:

And now my impression of a good build is:

So I think it's unlawful to pass off Pmx's advice by comparing it me, especially when that was a build from a long time ago. I don't get the point of saying that.

However, I appreciate you're trying to change, that shows well of you.

Did you even look at the voxel build at the end of his app?? It’s better than all your builds right now x100. Also he has been around for a while and some of his past builds and creative plots had been deleted before he could take screenshots.

Either way, it’s not cool to throw shade at someone you would be expected to work with if you got accepted.

Well, this is awkward.

Just got accepted for a thing I applied for (in real life) and won't have much time for Meep. It isn't fair to the server or other staff applicants to be inactive, especially as an architect. Would I have gotten accepted as arch? Probably not, but I still wouldn't like to even keep it open since I'll have to be prioritizing real life over Meep (like I said on korpi's app, real life > Meep) I also won't really be able to finish that larger scale build of course since now I'll have this extra commitment in addition to school.

Guess this'll end up as a meme now. Sorry guys, that's just the way things go I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
