250k Weekly Giveaway #10

Rank(s): Mayor, Survivor
How have you been positively affecting the server?: Throughout my time in ECC I have been helping by paying attention to builders in chat as well as helping them get started. I also am very social in chat and tend to answer questions asked by other players. Not only this, but I'm active on the forum stating my opinion and reporting any problems. I also like to build and good architecture always makes for a better server!
What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My plans are to one day own one of the biggest economic towns in ECC. I also want to create one of the most gorgeous towns ever. More importantly, I want to one day be able to become a staff member and help out everyone and keep everything in ECC running nice and smoothly.
How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: This giveaway will help me afford a town (I sold my original town to get Mayor). I will most likely purchase this town by doing a mayor rank for town exchange with a Resident who don't really want towns. Furthermore, the money will also go towards me getting some donation features for building and to increase my income to help my building. I plan on getting Aether soon so building will be so much easier for me!
Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: peregrines3469 she is a very kind staff member who I see helping members out in chat. Her dedication inspires me and I'm very glad to see her as a SuperMod. Rock on peregrines!
Other?: Thank you for reading this entry. I would also likes to thank you for being so generous. I'm also very shocked the prizes are going up even when you are staff! Thanks for working so hard to give us your hard earned cash! Also: CONGRATS ON STAFF! *flexes blue name*

IGN: Avowin
Rank(s): President, Survivor
How have you been positively affecting the server?: I have been positively affecting this server in MANY different ways. I try to be a role model for not only builders or residents, but even mayors and other presidents. I love to help others accomplish goals. I wish to help ALL players, young or old, new or returning. I wish to have more oppertunities to help builders, which this money will help me do. With the 85k that I could get, I would either get myself a town portal so that I can give builders a place to live at a small price, where they can upgrade their house so that it will come a huge house for others . If I didn't get myself a town portal for others, I would use my money to get some donation features that will help other players. My first donation feature would either be teleport so that I can teleport other players to their friends for free, and so that others can find a faster way to my town so that they can live an a peaceful place. The other donation feature that might be my first donation feature would have to be Excreation. With excreations, I would give other players free excreations, like lift signs and all that apply with excreations. There is so many ways that winning this contest would let me help other players even more!
What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My future plans are simple: To help others as much as I can. I wish to get some donation features so that I can help ANYONE as much as I can. With a donation feature I can help players even more than what I can currently. If I manage to become a moderator anytime soon, that would make me able to help players more than I can imagine. As a moderator, people would look up to you. They would ask them questions more than other people would, because they are "more trustworthy". As a moderator I would be asked many questions, and with those questions I would be able to help others even more.
How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: Winning this giveaway would help me reach my goals even more because I would be able to afford all the thing that I would need to help other players even more. I could use this money to get my town portal so that people that don't have teleport could reach my town and live there. I could use the money to save up and get a donation feature like teleport or excreations. There are so many options that I could chose that I could reach these goals in no time with the money of 85k, as I am not eligable to earn the 135k.
Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: The only other person that I think deserves this prize along with myself would be you falconaire, but that is out of the question, as you are holding this contest. You are the person that has affected me the most on this server, and has helped me as much as you can. You would be the only person at this moment who would deserve this prize along with me, as you have affected my life the most on ECC. Thank you for being such a good friend falconaire, and making my life on ECC more enjoyable
Other?: Good luck to everyone else who applies, and congrats to all the winners beforehand!

 

I posted real quick because I wanted to have the first post and started to write it immediately after.

 

dang it I wanted to be first -_- oh well. good luck you two!

Rank(s): My ranks are President and Survivor

How have you been positively affecting the server?: I have been helped the server extremely because I have gotten people to donate around $600 in donations to the server. Another reason that makes me more recognized, is that I often win the monthly voting prizes for being one of the top voters. These votes help EcoCityCraft rise in the ranks and hopefully, ECC will be at #1 in the near future.

I have also been a great influence to others on ECC. I have recommended 5 people, and they are fairly active today. One of them is a mayor and the other two are successful residents who farm for hours trying to get 85K for mayor. Occasionally, I help out players who ask questions in global or local when no one else is helping them.

What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My plans on EcoCityCraft is to become an $$EcoMaster$$ with a town near spawn. I also hope to finish MegaFarms sometime soon. I hope to get all the features I want, along with a lucky lotto and crazy lotto medal too. Right now, I am saving up for Tycoon and the investigator feature.

How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: Winning this giveaway will help me reach my goals because the money will go towards my Tycoon fund. I have found some abandoned towns that I want to claim, but unfortunately, I can not because I am not a Tycoon yet. Hopefully, I will become a Tycoon before my birthday in a few weeks.

Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: Someone who I think deserves this prize would be xpurexcorex. He recently became a moderator, and he would not be able to make money for his projects fast enough. He deserves this money because he is currently in need of a huge sum of money, and he is an incredible moderator/player who built America and other towns.

Other?: Congratulations on becoming a moderator, I know you will be a great mod. and extra points maybe? Thank you for giving us the chance to participate and for hosting all of these giveaways.

How have you been positively affecting the server?: By giving builders and residents an opportunity to buy very cheap plots (with a downpayment-plan if necessary) and offering them free use of my donation-features (Tp, E-Rep, Excreations+ and Investigetions). I always prior the ones who need help. It can be my Co-Mayor, one of my residents or a Tycoon who got griefed. I always want to help the servers players and make sure that they dont have a bad time playing on ECC. I have spendt countless hours doing and filling grief-reports for builder who dont understand it and investigate their griefes for free when i easy could have got 1K by helping someone else. I always want to help.
What are your plans for the future on ECC?: Keep helping and be friendly to evryone I see and meet. Keep doing free E-reps to those who cant afford it, keep doing investigations for free to those who cant afford it. My goal is to do my very best to help others.
How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: I would have a better economy. That means that i will get more time to do jobs for free instead of mining and farming. It would really mean a lot.
Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: It would be my former Co-Mayors Dane2018, and chandlersmith1. They Did a great job selling plots.

IGN: williamannin

Rank(s): $, Resident

How have you been positively affecting the server?: Okay, here goes. I feel as though I have been positively affecting this wonderful server in many ways. In these two months I have played on this server, I have helped countless builders. First of all, I have helped many builders out by donating when necessary. Also, I do my best to answer any questions in global chat. These days, I notice how global chat is full of spam and slandering. This is the exact opposite of a friendly environment. A server can only run if it has some players, and constantly driving builders away by giving them a negative attitude will not help at all. I may only be a resident, but I feel as though I have helped out our community quite a bit within these past two months. I recently convinced two of my IRL peers to join this server, and they come on often. In addition, I always negotiate deals with builders to help them get started. For example, I recently sold a two story mansion house to a builder for just 2k. While this is lower than what I paid for it, the builder was courteous and kind. Therefore, I felt that I should give him/her a chance by selling the house for a lower price. I also keep chat lively, often talking with others in the Aquila chat (specially moderated by Falconaire.) Moreover, I have notified staff of any problems and do my best to serve in the ECC community. In my mere 2 months on this server, I have seen players come and go, and chat get better/worse depending on the time. While many players leave the server due to IRL issues, I feel as though we should invite more players in and increase the kindness here. I may only be a resident, but I feel that I am quite an active player.

What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My plans are to build a friendly town to players of all ages and ranks. I believe that everyone should be treated equally. It breaks my heart to often see builders teased in Global chat for simply asking a question. I have noticed how many towns are Res+ or Mayor+, which I believe is very mean to some players. I remember when I was a builder, and did not have a chance at earning money because many players simply did not care about helping. I thank Falconaire, Caitlin_Crime, and a few others for helping me achieve my rank quickly. Therefore, my town will mix all ranks and create a friendly environment. I hope to keep prices low, but this can only be done through continuous funding. My current balance is 80k, which is very close to mayorship. One may think that I have quite a bit of money (Which is partially true). However, once I secure a town, I would have absolutely no money left over to build the town itself. I have seen many towns that look just like the wild, except protected. I find this completely pointless, and I don't wish to contribute. Time and time again, I notice how towns are simply abandoned. I hope to never need to do this. So, I will continue to farm and SG to earn the funds, but hope that this giveaway will ensure success for months to come. Farming is also quite difficult because most players charge sky-high prices for just doing /repair. I understand that players need to make a profit, but I find it ridiculous to have to pay 1/5 of my earnings per 10 minutes just for someone to type in a command. As a side note, I have noticed that many other players have applied for this giveaway as well. I think everyone here deserves a portion, but seeing as only 3 winners exist, I am posting this (hopefully not rambling) application.

How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: First, this giveaway involves an exorbitant amount of money. My goals are currently quite high, with me wishing to acquire and build an active town within a matter of months. I would not need 125k, as merely 75-80k would be sufficient (building plots, clearing land, town portal, etc.) Building a town requires hard effort and funds. Without a quick fund, the town could take months to be built significantly. Currently, the best tool I own is a pumpkin axe, and I only earn a few thousand a day (I cannot come on often.) This is why I would need an extra lift. Whenever I do come on, I farm as much as possible, but earning 75k through farming is quite a tedious job. No player wants to spend hours clicking two buttons (It is very dreary and boring.) Most players would say: "Just deal with it. " This is completely irrelevant because one can only work so quickly. This is the reason why I am applying for such a generous giveaway.

Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: Absolutely! I would say Falconaire, but seeing as he is the one hosting this giveaway, I will choose a different player. I would probably choose voiD_yO for many reasons. First, he always answers any questions I have, regardless of how simple or complex they may be. Furthermore, he sold me a tp to a spider spawner a few weeks ago. I did not have a chance to set a home there, but he kindly tped me there again. Many players would not show this act of kindness, and I thank this supermod for helping me save a couple thousand dollars.

Other?: Falconaire has now held 10 giveaways, and this one is by far the most generous. Even though he is now a very busy Moderator, he still has the time to host these giveaways, and I do not know how my dreams would not come true without him. His giveaways have been a place of hope for both me and countless other players. He has been very friendly to me, and I respect him dearly for this. Thank you very much Falconaire, and I wish everyone else the best. Regardless of who is chosen for this giveaway, I am sure that he/she will use the prize money wisely! Again Falconaire, I think you are among the nicest players on ECC. From my mere 2 months on ECC, you have shown me the most kindness by far. Thank you for your continued support and kindness!

IGN​

My name is PULLH20.​

Rank(s)​

I have the rank of Mayor, and I am a donator with [$] status.​

How have you been positively affecting the server?​

I haven't been here very long - a mere 10 months - but I've attempted to impact the server positively in many ways. First of all, way back in December of last year (2012), a player called pex666 was auctioning off an Efficiency 5 Unbreaking 3 Silk Touch diamond pickaxe. Back then, those were sold for like 10k a piece! I remember he sold it to me for 8k, but I gave him an extra $1,000 ECD to compensate for the money he deserved. Often, I will pay more than the seller asks for as a "tip", or so the seller doesn't feel ripped off. On EcoCityCraft, I always try to ensure my actions help, rather than hurt, the server and/or the community. I also frequent the forums and try to help new users and participate in suggestions that could add to the game. Additionally, I am a trustworthy person; I have never scammed another user, I've never been banned or even had a complaint filed against me. Finally, I try to appreciate the fact that though my and other users' opinions are welcomed, it is andrewkm and the staff team who have the final say; I don't often argue with staff members.​

​

Another way I've positively impacted ECC is the fact that I give out free services to anyone I can help in Trade Chat. Although the only donation feature I currently have is ExtCommands, there have been a few times that I've done repairs for other users for free. I try to help out the community of ECC, trying to return it to its former glory. I do this by answering users' questions in Global and Donator chat when I can (although I don't minimod) and overall trying to become the best I can be on ECC. This game is only as fun as you make it, and for me it justifies the time I spend if I can better the server in any way. I never, ever slander another user or tell them that they are wrong. If someone has a different opinion than me, I try to respect it and realize that that's the way of life - everyone has their own opinions. I never simply say "-1" or "+1" to a suggestion, I try to tell the original poster why their suggestion is a good idea, or how I feel it could be improved in some way. Constructive criticism is a good thing, but destruction of the feelings of others is not.


Unfortunately, I've reached the character limit on this since each color changed represents around 10 letters in the forum's code, so I won't be able to do fancy text for this message.

In-game, I will almost always try to be as friendly and approachable as possible. If someone has a question, they should feel free to PM me about it or even send me a PM on the forums. I appreciate that some users are not sociable and don't like talking in Global chat. For this reason, I try to go out of my way to make these users feel welcome, since I've been in similar situations before. One final belief I have that benefits ECC is that builders are people too. Just because they aren't as experienced or wealthy in-game as I am doesn't mean they don't deserve help and knowledge; in fact, it makes them more deserving of those things. If a builder has a dream to create an epic Nation, why not let them try? There's no need for me to be angry at someone just because they haven't been here for as long as I have. I am not elitist; if a person with $10,000 EcoDollars were to contradict my opinions I would be just as accepting of them as someone with $1,000,000 EcoDollars. Acceptance is a jewel of life I've found, and I almost always put it to use.

What are your plans for the future on ECC?​

I plan to purchase the donation feature of Fly ($65,000 EcoDollars to go!) in order to earn more EcoDollars. Once I am able to earn over $15k per hour, I plan on hosting monthly giveaways of large amounts of money, maybe $250k or $300k. However, I'd like it to be something that anyone could win, and I want to make it fun. I have an idea of a game that might work, but I'm currently unable to make enough money to try it out. I plan on remaining Mayor for the rest of my days on EcoCityCraft, and purchasing donations with my money instead.​

​

​

I'm not a great builder, but I do want to create an epic farm in the future (400x400). This also requires a lot of funds, since I'd rather hire a user to place dirt than do it myself; I don't have time to play ECC for 5 hours a day. I'd estimate that this would tak at least 6 months, if not a year. However, since I plan to remain mayor for my time on ECC, I'd need to purchase three additional towns from other users. This will require a great deal of trust and faith in the ECC community, which is already getting better at an alarming rate since you, Falconaire, and a lot of other kind, generous users have become a part of our server. I hope to make my dreams a reality someday!​

​

How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?​

Winning your giveaway (or even getting third) would mean a lot to me, because I've never won a giveaway before. Aside from the mental benefits, the EcoDollars associated with the winner would greatly assist me in acquiring my long-awaited Fly feature. If I won first or second, I would even have some money to start up my own giveaway idea with! I realize, however, that there are a lot of other users on this server, many of whom probably deserve to win this giveaway more than I do.​

​

​

I would be lying, however, if I said I wasn't going to use the money from this giveaway to help me achieve my personal goal of creating a 400x400 farm. If I win, I will likely purchase the final $10 giftcard I need to redeem the Fly donation, and split the remaining money into two groups - one towards helping the community, and one towards creating my 400x400 farm. A little bit of money can go quite a ways to help me out in my goals.​

​

To expand on my giveaway idea, I'd like to say that it would probably be quite similar to Zanide's puzzle town, though I was hoping my idea would be unique (it was at the time I originally came up with it). I'm sure, however, that I will be able to build upon Zanide's ideas and create a pretty cool town myself.​

​

Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?​

Absolutely. quefueve is one of my role models on this server. He is a great person overall, and always helps me (and other users) out when they need it. He recently acquired a position on the EcoCityCraft staff too. An example of his kindness: Once, a few weeks ago, when I had just purchased the ExtCommands donation feature, I wasn't sure what the /powertool command did. I bound one to my pumpkin seeds and started clicking. Little did I know, I was spamming quefueve with messages to ask him for e-repairs. I was worried he was going to kick or ban me for spam, but he told me it was OK.


Quefueve also gives out lifetime perms to FarmVille, the current largest farm-town on ECC for pumpkins and melons, for only $25,000 EcoDollars. He even offers payment plans to users who might not be able to pay the amount in full. The thread where he sells perms and describes the town can be found here: http://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/selling-last-perms-to-farmville-200x200x17-pumpkin-melon-one-of-the-biggest-of-ecc.64791/

Thank you for doing these giveaways Falconaire. I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into this server to make it a better place and help out others. Also, congratulations on moderator! Good luck on you goal of SuperMod, but don't stop there. I want to see you as ServerAdmin in the future; you truly deserve it.​

​

Also, your town Aquila is by far the greatest medieval town on the server. You are one of the best builders on here, especially in your specialty, the rustic style. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you for viewing my application,
