What you want the money for:
I would like the $50,000 to help not myself, but new users on the server. Too often I see builders lost in chat, with no one there to help them. They need help making money, need to find a town to live in, or buy tools go get them started, but because they're builders many people don't trust them. I will do my own 10k builder raffle in which I will pick 5 lucky builders to win $10,000. I will do more as time surpasses.

Why do you deserve it?:
I don't like to idolize myself, but I do feel as though I have positively affected the server throughout the last year on the server. Whether it was through donations, moderating, or just helping around in chat.

Who do you think deserves it besides your self?:
@ClarinetPhoenix

Why do you think they deserve it?:
When I go mining, almost every time I'm there I see Clarinet mining. One day I had a chat with her and it seems as though she's been working head over heels to get an Eff7, and I would like to help her out if I win this giveaway. She is a positive user and is always being friendly in chat.

I know there are alot of people, out there, who deserve this money more then me. From the others doing giveaways to moderators to the people who give up their time in exchange to help others. I do my best to be a positive part of the community and "play my role". I also welcome users especially builders who show a passion in this Economical server, I offer them a position as co-owner of my current new project where we both have an opportunity to make money together.

I am considering staking a town quite soon when I become mayor. Only thing is, it won't exactly be a town. It will contain a farming business that will be unlike anyone has ever seen. I unfortionetly cannot relay anymore information because I do not want this idea to be 'spoiled.'

It's a profitable business system with realistic goals. If I do this, I'm sure it will open up people's eyes to the true potential of this beautiful server.

Other fine gents whom I have been contacting, and will rename nameless for obvious reasons, have been working with me.

Why do you think they deserve it?:
They have put a lotta time into this project.

Who do you think deserves it besides your self?: origamimaster10
Why do you think they deserve it?: He continuously goes out of his way to help others. Recently he gave up his portion of his winnings in a server wide contest just because he felt other players were overlooked. He has opened his town to builders (at no cost), and has, on more than one occassion, spent his entire time ingame at spawn just helping new people instead of furthering his game. He truly deserves to be recognized for this.

What you want the money for: Purchasing a spawn shop.
Why do you deserve it?: I don't really do anything out of the ordinary, I answer question and be helpful in chat, but do not go to extremes like some members of the community. I would love to have the money as it would allow me to begin trading with people more effectively and just be more active in the economy. I also spend so much time just chilling reading chat and forums that I never make money.
Who do you think deserves it besides your self?: Any ECC staff member.
Why do you think they deserve it?: Slightly obvious, they put in so much time and dedication to make ECC awesome.

What you want the money for: I would like this money just because I really don't have much money at the moment, I just got through paying g a big debt and I've had nothing for quit a while, this will just really help me get started, I'm starting to try to get my own melon sword, I haven't had a star tool since my melon sword got scammed. This will give me a big boost.
Why do you deserve it?: I don't think I do deserve this money, but I have helped the community just by generally trying to be a good person and create a positive energy for everybody else in ECC. I often do free e-repairs and teleports for users for hours at a time. I always answer users questions in chat to the best of my ability. I used to have a 200x200 farm (but later sold it due to debts) where I would give builders free perms. I also had a 200x200 town where again I would give users free perms. I would also do random in game trivia giveaways, with small prizes of $200 but that still can help somebody out.

What you want the money for: I want this money so that I can get president, well help towards the fund of me getting president, so that eventually I can get another town and build a farm in it.
Why do you deserve it?: I don't, but I am a very commited player on ECC and I love this server, I haven't helped give back to the community as much as I have wanted, but I'm sure that will hopefully change once I get president.
Who do you think deserves it besides your self?: @mista_J
Why do you think they deserve it?: I feel he deserves this because he plays on the server a lot (I should know he's my brother) he's also donated a lot of money to this server, and he's a nice guy who tries to help users out.

What you want the money for:
I would like to use the money to save up for an Efficiency VII star pick. I've had one before, but unfortunately it was lost when I had rented it out. To today, it has not been paid off by far. I have actually bought all my previous features to equip myself to becoming more secure if I were to own my own pick such as the features Fly+, ExtCommands+, Pyro+... Etc. And with the fluctuating netherstar market prices, it's only made it more difficult for me to achieve the star pick pricing. When I had first directed myself to owning the pick, it was valued at 500k. As of now, it's somewhere around 800-825k. Now in no means am I complaining. It is a hardcore economy after all. It's the second thing I love most about the server though.

The second thing I would like to use the money for is to fund my towns. Most of the money I have is going towards the top priority goal of buying a star pick. But besides that, I would like to fund my towns. I currently own 7 towns and co-mayor 3 more. It's hard for me to keep up with, but it's completely worth the interaction I encounter from them. Going back to my previous comment about my second favorite part about the server being its intensity, the first is the interaction between players. The social communication I experience between my town members and co-mayors has earned me not only friends in-game and IRL, but memories forever tied with ECC. Memories that enhance the word "community" in EcoCityCraft. I'd love to renovate the towns to help attract more new users.

The last thing that I'd like to use the money for is towards my giveaways. So far, I've only given away 225k. Although a fair amount, it's not comparable to what others have given. Exhibit A, this single 300k giveaway vs my accumulative 225k. As I have explained in other giveaways, my goal is to start chain reactions among the community. I believe in the concept, divide and conquer. Now let me further explain the topic I've initiated.

The 4 members included in this giveaway are either current staff members (Welcome back PB) and former staff member(s) (Onscenereporter). Players new and old look up to staff members as examples or means of power. I like to think that it's sometimes a greater influence to see other users that are not staff members performing acts of generosity. Players "just like us" giving. A "Robin Hood" story if you will. Without the greedy king of course. A member of the same power giving to those of his/her similar power. Another example I'll give to further clean up this metaphorical mess, there was once a man that passed another man who has not eaten for, what it looked like, a few days. He gave his bread to the homeless man. The homeless man then broke the bread in half, and said "we can share it". The reason I'm sharing this example is to explain it's influence. I believe it's a greater influence because it shows that the homeless man can still give a little even though he is on the shorter end. It's still a great thing for the longer end (nobility in a sense) to give to the less fortunate. But again, it would be more influential from the less fortunate. It shows that everyone is capable. Even if it's something as small as bread. Same works with the community. The staff members work as the nobility and government. One of the reasons I have not yet applied for staff is to become the/a "Robin Hood" of ECC. My ultimate goal is to give away at least $1 mil. To the community. It's something the community deserves.

Why do you deserve it?:
The definition of "deserve" is

Definition of term:'deserve' is:'to be worthy of, be qualified for, (reward, punishment, etc.); merit.'.

"To be qualified for". To me, there are no qualifications for a giveaway. As others have already put in their applications, I am the same as everyone else. So, why me over others? A requirement I noticed for this giveaway is that the user submitting the application must not be a banned user. So maybe that's something that qualifies myself for this. Maybe the fact that I've never banned? But then again, I wouldn't count out previously banned users. I'm a believer in second chances. My belief in second chances must be because of my experience of being given such.
Now should I deserve the 50k? Maybe. That's completely up to the judges. My opinion on me "deserving" it is that I'm just as "qualified" as everyone else. I'm a supporter within the community. I do my best in aiding new players. I am a respectable player. Me being chosen over others is out of my power. I have yet to become a staff member or become a VIP+, EcoLegend... Etc though. But it's all definitely on my to-do list. Becoming a two year member (4 more days!!), I hope to achieve these goals sometime soon. Maybe my goals qualify myself more as a candidate for the prize? Then again everyone has goals. But it's also how people treat their goals.
I also like to think of myself as a rule follower. I don't like to break rules. If I were to ever break a rule, it's always unintentional. I don't take breaking rules lightly either. Out of my two years on ECC, I've received exactly two warnings, and remember them all. The first, was when I was telling someone in global to try BJ's ice cream (Ben and Jerry's)... But forgot the ice cream part. Konan then warned and PMed me about it. The second, on August 22, I was trying to help inform a user of auction rules. Trying to get a staff members attention, I continued to talk in the auction channel. I was then warned by Revan. It's important to remember situations like these to prepare yourself for a similar situation. For example, number 1, I could've been more precise with my wording. Number 2, I could've taken the informing of auction rules to PM with the user rather than talking in the auction channel or trying to pm a staff member than trying to get their attention through the auction channel. Long story short, I hate breaking rules. I always feel... Melochany or/and ignominious... To say the least. I am deeply sorry for my insipid and impulsive actions.

Who do you think deserves it besides your self?: @MSU_SPaRtAns321

Why do you think he/she deserves it?
Msu, you're a mess . Banned... more than 4 times?... for the stupidest of things. You get on some people's last nerve sometimes. You even made me revoke your co-mayorship from Ironview once too. But I couldn't imagine spending this summer on ECC without you. People make mistakes all the time. Some people more than others *cough "you" cough*. But one thing I know about you is that your heart is in the right place. One of my best choices on the server was taking the leap of faith to hire you as my co-mayor. Ironview wouldn't be the same without you. I loved watching you grow from a resident to a president $$$$ (not to mention your crazy lotto victories).
I believe you deserve this 50k. Not for what you've done, but what you've become.

As Albus Dumbledore once said, actions speak louder than words, but it is your choices that define you as a person.
(Haven't read all the Harry Potter books so don't ask. I just liked the quote).

Why do you deserve it?: I lost all of my items when I came back including my farms, melonsword and money. I am finding it extremely hard to make it now with almost nothing. I am struggling now and am only digging myself deeper. I really need a good amount of money to invest in profitable items.
