    Like the last contest i held i'm tired of selling irl dollars for eco dollars and now that i'm debt free why not just give away some donations, i do not intend to donate for my self anymore so why not hand them out to people that need or want them but this time the apps will be more strenuous. I think it would be fine with revanrose6 that she would help me pick the winner of this competition. Considering last time i had to read through nearly 50 apps, i need someone to help me decide this one because the last one was a hard choice between multiple people. So here we go apply below and this competition will end in 4 weeks, that's an estimate depends on applicants and what i'm doing.

    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join?: I joined ECC on june 14th 2011, so it has been 2 years since then :)
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft?: Not yet, no.
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I would like this donation feature amount given away to me because I cannot currently donate for myself, nor can I afford to pay someone else in game. I would likely use it either for teleport, multihomes+, or something else.
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: To be honest I have just as much a chance as anyone else. I would like to get it but I don't have the best reason in the world compared to what other people may say.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: Hmm. Well, I have been on the server for 2 years, some people have only been on a couple months. I know the server better then others.
    What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it?: I would give 2 million to the charity, Childs Play. 4 million would go to my parents to help pay for expenses, bills, etc. I would give $333,333 each to my siblings, totaling 1 million. $500,000 would go to my best friend. And 1 million would go into a college fund. And $250,000 to each side of my grandparents, $500,000 total. And the last 7 million I would keep for myself.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? Just over 1 year. May 2012.
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? no
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want to buy extcommands.
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: I dont really have much of a reason... but I want it.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: Nothing.

I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question.
    If I were given 16 million dollars, I would donate 13 million to charity and other good causes, and leaving 3 million to distribute to my friends and family. I would keep 2 million for me and my dynamic family, and would give the other million to my friends and further family. This would definitely help us pay for college without the need of student loans.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? About a year or so
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? No but hope to be one sometime
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I am currently unable to pay since I am 16 and have no Paypal account and if I get this donation feature... I will use it on water commends so once I get mayor I can easily build my 200x200 farm without paying somebody like 50k to do it
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: well there is no reason I think everybody should have a fair chance, players and mods alike
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: well I know this server and am unable to donate since i do not have a paypal account so i have no features, but like everybody else I think they still should all get a equal chance
    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question. I would at once convert it into UK£ and give about 2 million to sue Ryder care. They are a charity which helped my grand mum when she was suffering from cancer and relieved her from this life. I would put the rest into the bank which I will save up till when I am 21 and I get past uni, then I will put some of it for training to become a pilot since it is very costly. I will still save up the money. I will buy a house for my grandparents which live in honking to live in a house next ot us in the UK. I will pay for my family and put a lot to my mum and dads pension and to me and my brothers pension. The rest which still would be like 10 million or so I would put back into the bank to get huge ammount of interest.

    How long have you've been on EcoCityCraft? When did you join?: On the 24th of this month will be my 3rd month on ECC. I joined on March 24, 2013.

    Have you ever been a moderator on EcoCityCraft?: Nope, but I hope to be someday!

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I really want this $30 giveaway, mostly because I can't afford anything with IRL money. With $30, I would buy the TP donation feature and save the $10 for a future donation.

    *Edit: I just applied for president, and I have $5 left over in my giftcard credits. If I have another $30 in credits, it would be absolutely perfect for me to get TP and Multihome! I am struggling enough as is without neither of those, lack of mobility.


    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Honestly, I believe anyone should be able to have it, and there are probably other people who need it way more than I do. Those are the people who deserve to win giveaways like these.

    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I don't see myself as a higher priority than others. I have my own needs and virtues, and so does everyone else. But for the sake of this question, I'm highly motivated/determined to get a Moderator position in ECC and it would be VERY helpful if I had the TP donation feature!

    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question.: There's are a lot of things someone could do with 16 million, and no one really needs that much money. So what I'd do is put away 2 million in a bank account for a rainy day and continue living normally so I don't rely on my money. The rest of the 14 million will be given like this. 3 million split evenly to my whole family, 1 million each to my two best friends, 8 million will go to charities of all kinds. Lastly, I would carry around 1 million in my pocket (Crazy, I know haha) and just randomly give the money away to strangers, mostly to those who seem to need it for something, like if I were walking in a store and a child wants a toy they can't afford, I'll spontaneously give the parent a couple thousands or something, and I'd keep doing that until the 1 million is gone.


    I just wanted to add a quick note saying that it is very very very generous of you to be doing something like this! I admire your generosity and my faith in humanity is now restored:p

I would invest the rest of the money to have more later.

    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? Yes (Currently am.)
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want this as I personally am in dire need of a few new features. I think I would get multihome+ and Pyro, or pyro and pyro+.
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Personally nothing puts me against any other users, I am not special.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: Once again, nothing puts me over any other user in this case.

    Well seeing as you stated that it was won or given to me without work I would return the favor by donation money to places such as hospitals. I would only use personal money that I earned for my own good.​

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I will redeem them into gift cards, and maybe sell 1 of them for 50k. Then for the 50k, I will do multiple 10/15k give aways. I might as well buy tp.
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Because I really love this server, but i do not have enough money to buy any other donations. I would love this $30 so I can get some of the donations that I always wanted.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I don't think I will, but everything's got a chance.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? Forum date: December 25, Ingame date: Early december
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? No
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want this because I'm incapable of donating myself, so I will get teleport because I'm getting more into business and tp would be amazing
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Because of my incapability of donating, and my recent scamming by a certain player many were scammed by. I was a more severe scamming at 180k, so right now I'm kinda poor and couldn't buy tp if I wanted to (scammed by a certain person who started with an "a" and ended with "HD" and had 9 letters total in his/her name.)
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I can't donate. Half the people on our server can donate. I can't because of parents and budget, so right now I'm really sad because I was scammed out of ext+, and I might save the $30 on giftcards and keep them for ext+ later on when my parents allow myself to donate
    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question. Well I would donate for alot of people and do a bunch of giveaways due to my newfound fortune, and also donate alot to andrew so our server can be lag-free finally, and I would donate enough to get $11,000,000 ECD and buy Berlin and sell builders plots close to spawn so they can become the president they are destined to be. As well, I would donate and get ecoleader and vip, and I would sell very very cheap features at probably 3-4k/usd so people will be happy with their budgeting and prices. I would also donate $1,000,000 to a charity in real life (it would have to be decided but as this isn't real I don't know what I would donate it to) and I would go to minecon and try to meet andrew that would be an amazing day and yeah. Then I would invest it in something worthwhile and build up my money and then give lots of it to the server so they can be the fastest large server in north america. I would then buy a bunch of people donation features and have a contest so that like 50 people get a donation feature up to $50 which would be awesome then make a huge farm and sell cheap perms to it and then ask people for their goal (they need one) and once they achieve that goal they get half refund and removed because it would be HUGE farm and I'd need room to add more wannabes :)
    Also, I would do a bunch of more contests (10 people get mayor, 50 people get resident, 5 people get president, 5 people get town portal, etc) and I would make a huge tournament of some sort and the first 5 winners get 1,000,000 ECD so they can be amazing, and I would make a huge town and sell plots in it for like $500 each and yeah, I would do lots. Then I would buy a bunch of RazerGaming stuff.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? I have been on Ecocitycraft from sometime in the month of October of 2012, and have been pretty active since then

    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? No I have not.

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want this giveaway, because I am not allowed to donate for this server with my own money because my parents think it is a waste of money, when it is like buying a new game or, like for my brother, buying a "new map pack for Black Ops 2"

    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: I think I should get it and not someone else because I am very nice, and do not have my own donation feature right now. I have been wanting one for awhile now, but have not gotten the money to buy my own. With this donation feature money, I would probably get either: water/fire, one of those and plus with it; Teleport and save 10$ for when I can donate again; excreations; or even save up for another 30$ for fly! If I would win I would consider what would help me, AND help others. I would want my donation feature to also help others, and that is another reason why I think I should get it. So either fire/water or excreations would be what I will get.

    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I might not know you much, and you might not know me as much, but most people in ECC know me pretty well, as I am very easy to get to know and to like. I think that with my time on ECC and the help that I have given to others that all this will pay off in more ways than the satisfaction of helping someone.

    Ok so with the 16 million dollars (be ready for a looooong explanation) I would buy all donations on ECC and probably sell donations to others. I would donate about 1 million maybe 5 different charities into a special fund (like my great uncle is doing when he dies) where that 1 million CANNOT be touched by the charity, but they can take the interest from the account, so that they will always have that money to take out forever. I would use some of the other millions for research for me (as my future job that I want to be and hopefully will be is a pathologist; if you don't know what that is it is a type of doctor that works behind the scenes) to help find cures for different things like a cure for cancer! then I will put probably the rest of my money, after getting a house, into a savings account so that that money will last longer than those people that win the lottery of millions of dollars.

    Thanks for offering this $30 Shotgun! and I like the 16 million IRL money question.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? ive been on ecc since 2011 around christmas time
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? no, i have not.
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want to have only mcmmox2 for two main reason. with the financial troubles going on today my parents buisnesses have not been going well and we don't really have the money to be using with minecraft donations. also alot of the times people make fun of the "nubbish" people in pvp who dont have mcmmo donations so they cant compete with the other people. I would like to prove them wrong with this donation "mcmmox2"
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: because i think that other people who are doing this are just looking for free money even though they can afford it in real life. on the other hand i can't and that is why i deserve it more.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I think i have more reason to want this than other people.

I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question. well definately if i got 16 million dollars it would help my family out of our crisis and then i would treat them the life they deserve and i would also donate some to charity's and definately invest some money in stocks and other things... and of course if i could spare the money i'd use it for my enjoyment also :) (all donations)

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? I joined in April 2012. I was a builder for 2 months, Resident for like 4-5, and now I'm still a mayor, but a fairly famous one ;)

    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? Nope, but I haven't ever really applied in the last few months. Andrew seems to like me though, in general.

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I want this giveaway because I want to improve my PvP skills with McMMoBonusPlus and I want to improve my clan and therefore, the PvP world in general.

    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: I have wanted this feature for a while, it is as if it has been on my wishlist. I will be perfectly happy with whoever you choose, though.

    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I want to improve the PvP world, and am not just trying to get a feature to become some PAY2WIN.

    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question. First off, I would donate a lot of it to charities across the world, especially the U.S. and my home country back in Eastern Europe. Then, I would see where else I could donate it. I'm being 100% honest here, I would use the rest for my personal enjoyment, such as a new car, new house, outstanding PC gaming setup, outstanding PC gaming RIG, and a ton of video games for me to play.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? I've been on since last November, so about 6 months.

    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? No I have not.

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: After a bit of thought, I decided that if i got the $30 Usd, I would buy the /back command and multihome. The reason I want it is well...like everyone, I like free stuff. Most people aren't gonna say that, but deep down, everyone wants free stuff. Also, this would be very useful to me, and would help me get around on ECC easier, not to mention being able to help people in more ways, because of more homes.

    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Other then the fact that I have no donations, and most other people do, I don't really, I'm sure there are plenty of other people that would enjoy it. Some people cannot donate, some people can. But, (And I don't want to brag here) some people are not trustworthy, some people are scammers, and so far on ECC, I've had a 100% clean record. I've never been banned, never even been complained on. I hope your donation will go to a trustworthy person.

    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I mainly outlined all my reasons in the previous question, thank you.

    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question.

    Well, this last one...gonna take a long long time to answer.

    Being the age that I am, only 12, I wouldn't want to trust myself to use all this money wisely. I would hand over 12 million of it to my parents, for their sole use. The other 6, well a million would to charity, a million would go to my church, a million would go to a college trust fund (I want to be able to get the best education with my newfound millions), that leaves 3 more million. Another million would go to a bank account to fund my eventual job (I intend to be an author, in which case the million would get me started in the world, bills and the like.) With the last 2 million...

    I would attempt to give 50 grand to my best friend (he'd never accept it though :p even if he did, he'd never take more then that) And another 50k to his family (they'd never accept either :p)
    Then another million would go to investments, ect.

    The last 900k, I would probably use myself. Since we're getting down to small figures, let me estimate. Assuming, 50 grand on gaming technology. Consoles, controllers, headsets, one of these awesome thingies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_Rift and a complete set of donations to ECC.

    Another 50 grand to misc items. (Hint hint: Better computer chair :D)

    (Man i got a ton of money) That leaves 800k. I could name several large items, but those would be stuff my parents would buy not me. (Swimming pool, better lawnmower, nice car, mostly stuff my parents would buy instead.)

    So with 800k more lying around, I'm not really sure what to spend it on.

    I'd probably have 500k lying around for idle use until i get out into the world, where i get that million i had stored for that, and any college education money left over.

    The other 300k I didn't mention there would go to another charity, because I have wayyy too much money :p

    Edit: I'd actually take 100k of that 300k above and put it toward my wedding some day (those things cost a ton these days).



    Well, you asked for it, and there it is, good luck picking.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? About a month, joining in late May. But, in this time I feel I've made rapid progress within ECC, and plan on continuing doing so.
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? No
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I plan on using it to buy Water/Multihome, or TP, depending on what I've bought through EcoDollars by the end of next month. I've been investing most of my time towards my town which will be a prebuilt town with a medieval theme. As a Mayor, I'm basically devoting my time to providing an enjoyable experience for the Resident, and would like to extend the assistance I can give with free Water placements. Multihome is more of something I'm saving for the near future when I get President and have multiple towns. The more efficiently I can get between towns and help users the better!
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Well, unfortunately I'm too new to have served as staff, though it is one of my ultimate goals on ECC. But, I feel my devotion to ECC and willingness to help others sets me ahead of a large crowd of applicants.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: Similar to what I said in the last question; I am adamant about helping new players. I've moderated MANY servers before ECC and find that if I'm not doing something to benefit the community, I'm failing as a player. More than anything I want to give everyone a fun experience on ECC and want to be able to use all the tools available to me to do so.
    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question. Save, Invest, Donate. Those who know me know that I'm stingy when it comes to money, I don't buy things just because they're there or spend all my cash in one place. I've saved over 3k for college through various jobs in the past 2 years. Likewise, I'd set a goal for myself and use that money to reach it. Whether it be starting a company or whatever. I'd invest and donate anything I could spare to Cystic Fibrosis research, a lung disease in which I had a close family member die from recently.

    (Apologize for this crummy app, I wrote it on my phone at 2 am before leaving on vaca. I'll be editing it when I get back in a couple weeks. Just wanted to get my name out there for now!)

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft?
    When did you join? 6 months, I joined the server December 25th and Forums on January 3

    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft?
    Hopefully soon but no

    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?:
    Well, I really want to get extcommands+, currently I only have 10 USD in my credits, I would therefore only need 60 USD to complete my goal which is currently costing me around 500k, so the give away will definitely help my financial status
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: There is no real reason why I deserve the money more than another but, I have done many in game and money give aways to other users before

    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?:
    Pretty much the same answer as the last question

    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor.

    I would first put around 5 million in the bank. I would then donate around 5 million to end child hunger. I hate when you get those ads that come saying donate money to end world hunger and then the kids come up. Then, I would donate 5 million to cancer research, I have lost far too many relatives to cancer and too many people are dying from this horrible disease. The last 1 million I would give to my self. Buy a nice house and car as well as all features here on ECC. That is what I would do with 16 million dollars.

    How long have you've been on ecocitycraft? When did you join? I've been on ECC roughly 9 months in calendar days, but have likely logged more hours online than I ever spend anywhere else, ever.
    Have you ever been a moderator on ecocitycraft? I have been and still am.
    Why do you want this give away, and what will you do with the amount given away?: I don't want it for myself, but would like to win in order to present a good friend of mine with a gift for all they have done for me.
    Why do you think you should get it and not someone else?: Everyone has a good reason for wanting, or needing a donation like this. Either they were scammed, or cannot donate on their own and don't have the in-game funds to do it, or any number of reasons. I hope my selfless request to get this donation for someone who has helped me will be accepted.
    What do you think puts you over people for this give away?: I think that my hope to win in order to give to someone else would put me over others, but, no matter who is selected for the giveaway, the donation will be in good hands.
    Something that doesn't have much to do with this, but is a deciding factor. What would you do with 16 million dollars in real life if you won it or someone gave it to you, no matter how you got it what would you do with it? I'm looking for neatness and a well thought out answer to this question: Well, my first thing to do would be to buy a house, or, a plot of land to build a couple houses on. I'd have my dad, or my grandmother, or any other friend/family member in need come and stay. I like to have my family close, even if I live alone myself. Might even pay off my mom's mortgage if she'd let me. I'd help out and donate to my local humane society. This is something we used to do at work with the 'swear jar' proceeds going to help save the lives of animals not yet adopted. I'd start a business like a book store, or a gaming store, where I could have a couple cats as resident store pets, and even have a little adoption center in it to further help the humane society. Any money left over would go towards living... I wouldn't hoard it, but would rather buy gifts, take vacations, and see what the world has to offer, while making the world a little nicer for those I care about, and the causes I support.
