    *IGN:
    @ChargerBoltz5
    *Rank:
    [$], Mayor
    *Reason you should win:
    In my few months on ECC, I have helped out builders and poor players by giving inexpensive plots and apartment rooms in the town Titletown, along with two co-mayors. This money could help me further my ability to do that, since after paying off a debt I will be buying Teleport, which can be used to give free tp's to town members who need to get here and there.
    *What you have done for ECC so far:
    So far, I have helped new players on ECC get a start with an inexpensive plot in a town. I have teamed in SG with new players who I can tell need a helping hand against more experienced PvPers. I've answered builders' questions in spawn local. Also, I vote for the server every day, twice a day, which adds to ECC's publicity, and I have even convinced a few friends to come join the server (@charlieilikepie, @mjain67).
    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future:
    I plan on continuing to help out new players for our town, keeping up my consistent voting, as well as (a long time from now) getting another town with the President rank to help out even more builders.
    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it):
    A lot. A good amount of residents in my town, plus new builders at spawn local, plus people who I've helped join the server, plus the nubs in SG I've teamed with, and many more.
    *What you plan on using the 50k for:
    I plan to use the 50k for finishing up paying off a loan. However when that is done, I will be saving up ecodollars to buy the Teleport feature, which will improve my personal ECC experience while helping out others.

    Thanks madwolfminer, and good luck to all applicants!

    *IGN:
    Epicmiti

    *Rank:
    Moderator, Tycoon

    *Reason you should win:
    I feel I should win because I put so much towards the server by moderating and giving back to the community. I also think that I have put a lot into the server, being a 2.5 year member, and spending over $100 on donation features.

    *What you have done for ECC so far:
    One of my goals was to get moderator, and I recently got it around a week ago. It was an amazing accomplishment to me. I also have made it to tycoon! I have three towns currently, HolleyTree, Mitiville, and Epictown, which is awesome to me. They're all nice towns, but Mitiville and Epictown aren't finished… :p

    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future:
    Probably ranking up to a SuperMod. I'm not planning on it, but i'm hoping for it. I also am wanting to rank up to EcoLeader! So I plan on doing that sometime in the future. Also, I am wanting to finish Mitiville and Epictown, I haven't had a lot of time to do it because of Moderating and doing other things. ;)

    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it):
    I have helped so many people in the past, as I am a moderator. But before moderator - I had helped many, many users. I'v been helping users as long as I can think.

    *What you plan on using the 50k for:
    I plan on using the 50k, if I win, for giveaways, like yours. I was thinking when to do a giveaway, and I thought Halloween would be a perfect holiday to do it on. I also have done "question games" in the past, where I ask users questions and they answer for money. I haven't been doing those lately, though, because I haven't had enough money to do so.

    *IGN:
    Jason1964

    *Rank:
    Mayor.

    *Reason you should win:
    Because after two years on ECC, I've never had more than 90k in my balance, never had any donation features, never had more than one town, never won a giveaway in the competition forums, never been a staff member, and have never climbed beyond the rank of mayor.

    *What you have done for ECC so far:
    Made and contributed to countless suggestions in the suggestions forum. I currently run and maintain the list of tutorials in the tutorials section. I've helped many builders and stood for my opinion here on ECC for two years.

    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future:
    I'm just days away from opening my builder oriented town that has been dedicated entirely to tree farming. This will allow builders to tree farm to their heart's content. Every type of tree is included, along with a shop to sell axes to the builders and for the builders to sell their wood.

    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it):
    @72Volt @4tee @popcan515 @zorracraft @50-or-so-builders-who-have-lived-in-my-town @can't remember previous co-mayors name @random people at spawn @those guys in teamspeak

    *What you plan on using the 50k for:
    My town, donating to intelligent and motivated builders to move up in the server, and never ever ever ever to lottery.

    I'd like to start by saying thank you for giving away your hard earned money to the community :)


    *IGN: a18greek18

    *Rank: Tycoon, Terminator, Caltain, $$$$

    *Reason you should win: I think I should win for the simple fact that there is a guarantee that this money will be going back into the economy via PvP tournament prize money, or snipe chest event.

    *What you have done for ECC so far: The real question is what haven't I done... Over my 2 years on the server I have done pretty much everything possible to benefit the server. I have voted every day at I can, hosted trivias, storage wars, snipes, giveaways, helped new users at spawn get started and continue to play ECC, I moderated the server for 4 months, etc. There's just too much to list. The most recent thing I have done for ECC is host a snipe chest event that took an hour to complete and I gave away all my items which were worth about 2 mil after calculating the prices.

    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future: I plan on being a moderator for this server, but if that fails I will still help out and try to make the server as much of an enjoyable experience as possible for everyone.

    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it): Um... I don't know exactly how many I have helped, but since I was a builder I was helping people and I help about 15-40 people each day, depending on if I go to spawn or not, so if you do the math on that I've helped probably over 3000 different people over my time on ECC.

    *What you plan on using the 50k for: I plan on using this money to put towards buying items for a snipe event, or as some of the prize money for a PvP Tournament.

    Uhm.. Too many to count? I have been there for users listening to them and providing my advice. I have given discounts on houses so people can afford to move in. I have built many friendships and taught users how to make money.

    *Rank:

    Mayor, Survivor, [VIP]

    *Reason you should win:

    I am a positive member of the ECC community and have helped smaller players by randomly giving money and by helping with various tasks.

    *What you have done for ECC so far:

    I have been a co-mayor with XxDiamondxBackxX for a few months and using those rights I have helped the players that asked for assistance and given them the aid that they asked for. Now I am still co-mayor and so I have concluded to continue to help people. I do free repairs and e-repairs for builders upon request and try to uphold the general good of the ECC community. I give money away to builders and residents when I have excess. I have been helping players in a solo effort as well as a team effort with the rest of the ECC members and user and helped to provide the positive atmosphere that keeps ECC alive.

    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future:

    I the future I plan to grow majorly as a player and to help the community grow as well. One of my biggest and most ambitious goals currently is that I want to apply for moderator. If I become a moderator, I will be helping the server in a more substantial way than before. Although I am not a moderator and do not for-see myself as being one for a bit, I will continue on my mission to create a better community that accept everyone and supports those in their struggles and in whatever else they might need.

    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it):

    I cannot name all the people I have helped on ECC in the duration of my time on the server, there are too many to remember names of. Whenever possible and/or whenever asked I will do e-reps, pyro, TP, and small fly jobs for players large and small, experienced or just new. I try with my utmost ability to help people in their time of need.

    *What you plan on using the 50k for:

    If I obtain this money, it will go toward the purchase of a new donation feature that will be effective in the ECC community by helping builders, residents, and smaller players that are newer or less advanced on the ECC server. I am most definitely going purchase the a feature and use it for the upbringing and support of smaller players. I would like to give back to the ECC community and help smaller/newer players to grow and thrive by helping them with e-repairs for all tools, anvil jobs, tpas, pyro jobs, fly jobs and other ways. This will be helping the newer players in a sustainable way, helping them will be returning the favours that were given me in my earlier stages on the server. It will help the server and provide a positive atmosphere to the smaller players in our EcoCityCraft community.

    *Rank:
    Mayor, Survivor, $$$
    *Reason you should win:
    I Should win this giveaway because I think I am deserving of it. I am and always have been always respectful, nice, and giving with other players. I have not had any complaints said about me and my record is completely clean. I have been with this server for over a year now. I am ALWAYS looking to help others before I help myself. My goal is to help make ECC a better place for everyone and to help this server stay up as long as possible. I have helped countless builders work there way up and convinced them to stay on this server. I am currently working on some projects to specifically help new players which will be explained in the next question.
    *What you have done for ECC so far:
    To positively affect ECC, I have done many things. However my most proud achievement would be the auto-wheat farm that I ran with a few other players. The purpose of this farm was not to make money for ourselves, but to give money to all the builders and residents that needed it with simple work. We employed over 100 people and have helped many achieve there goals such as ranking up or getting enough money for a donation feature. In-fact, this is actually where the mod, Nicit6, first started to climb up. He can vouch for everything that I am saying. Sadly however since the wheat prices dropped a while ago there just wasn't enough money being spread out and we were forced to close operation. However Im still looking for new ways to help builders including my new project which Ill explain in the next "What you plan on using the 50k for."
    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future:
    For ECC in the future I plan on doing everything in my power to get ECC where it used to be. Im talking about the 200+ player days where the economy flourished and everybody was happy and having a good time. I have multiple suggestions that I think will help do this so hopefully in time the mods will consider them and use some.
    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it):
    I have helped hundreds. Yes I know that seems like its a lot but its true and Either Nicit6, Solstice18, or King_of_the_dot can vouch for me. Out farm operation has helped so many people that I forgot the exact number.
    *What you plan on using the 50k for:
    I will primarily use this money to help fund the giant auto-cocoa farm I am constructing. This is very similar to the auto-wheat farm operation I mentioned in the first question. I am going to hire many many builders/residents to plant cocoa for a good payment. This will help the current problem of keeping new players on the server. I will also use the money to construct houses and a new appt complex in my town. I am doing this because many of my workers ask to live here but I never had any housing for them. With this money I can now afford that and hire/house many players.
    Other:
    First Id like to thank you for doing this very generous contest :)
    Id also like to say good luck to all the other applicants and congratulations to whoever wins!​

    *Reason you should win: Because I have been an active member of ecc and I love this server, but ultimately it is not why I think I should win but who you decide to.
    *What you have done for ECC so far: I often give free e-repairs and teleports to anyone that asks, I often do them for hours at a time, back when I had my town I would give free plots and free farm perms to builders who are just starting out, I always try to help people with whatever they need to the best of my ability whether it be in chat or something else.
    *What you plan on doing for ECC in the future: I plan on still being an active member of ecc, I plan to do everything that I have done to help ecc as I stated above in the previous question, I always tell friends who play minecraft about this server, and I have gotten about 5 of my friends and both of my brothers to place, so I strive to keep the community going.
    *How many people have you helped out in your time on ECC (if your rank has allowed it): With free e-repairs and teleports I honestly can't really count, with helping out with free perms and plots I would say around 50, and just alot of people within chat, I can't really add all of them up, I dont really keep track.
    *What you plan on using the 50k for: I plan on using this money to help in the buying of nickname+

    I am pretty much the same as Mista_J in this answer, which is why I quoted his work.
    *What you plan on using the 50k for: As I said above, I would be using this money to help the people in my town and I do not plan to waste it on myself. If I have any extra money, I plan on doing a giveaway myself.

    Thank you for your time. I really appreciate that people like you don't waste the money on yourselves, but instead give it away to other people.

    Thank you very much.

    Also, when will this giveaway end?
