But back to the present, for the ninth giveaway I'd like to introduce a new format!

    Giveaway Rules

    Unfortunately, this is now necessary, as I've seen some trollish applications as of late. I find these posts humorous, and they brighten my day, but these contests are meant to be taken seriously, and I'd appreciate if they were treated as such.

    1. No "Troll" applications. I don't ask that you write an essay, but please take the application process seriously.
    2. No reserving posts. It does not matter to me whether you were the first applicant or the last, I'm looking for the most positive users on the server. How long it took you to post your application has 0 effect on that.


    Feedback is greatly appreciated! Feel free to give it in the "Other" section of your application or a PM! (Extra Points Maybe?) *Bonus Points* Go check out my town thread here, comment what you think of it in the thread, and get some brownie points for taking the time out of your day!

    That's about it! Good luck everyone for this week's Giveaway! <3

    How have you been positively affecting the server?: I have been positively affecting the server by selling and buying items in a way that makes it very easy for the other user, congratulating other users on their accomplishments, and generally being nice to everyone! It makes the other user feel welcomed and liked on the server and i enjoy doing that!

    What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My plans for the future on ECC is to get mayor someday soon and share the ownership of the town with my bro dodos_2, and also get a pumpkin axe or melon sword to farm with.

    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: It will help me reach my goals by giving me the funds for mayor, and also the funds for my pumpkin axe. ( I plan on using the money from my town to get a melon sword)

    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: I in fact think that there a TWO players who deserve rewards along with myself. Those 2 players are JokerBoss99 and jwpwns. These two players deserve rewards because, jwpwns has literally been with me from the start. He has been so nice to me and gave me my first plot, helped me make my first farm however small it was, and is a generally nice player to everyone! JokerBoss99 gave me my first co-mayorship to his town Jokertown which is really coming along now! He is a nice player, chats a lot to everyone and isn't mean at all! He's a hard worker and he deserves a reward. Those are two players i would love to see get a reward.

    Other?: Thank you very much for this opportunity! Your an amazing player keep it up!

    How have you been positively affecting the server?: For the past few weeks I've been renting my Efficiency 7 Pick and Melon Sword to many, many, many users for cheap prices! This helps generally "newer" mayors, or any other user with little to no money. However I stupidly lost my melon sword recently so I need to save up for another.
    What are your plans for the future on ECC?: I plan to continue renting Efficiency 7 Pickaxes and Melon Swords to people. Also, I am planning to start loaning players money. Also, me and mah pal Falconaire were planning on soon buying some "dedicated" builders resident. ;)
    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: I would be honored if I won this giveaway. As I already stated, I lost my melon sword recently. If I won, the money would bring me closer to my goal of buying another one. In addition, if I do win, some of the money will go to loaning other players.
    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: Another player that I think absolutely deserves to win this prize is Triforce_One. She is a VERY dedicated resident who is not that known yet on ECC. But, her spirit is always so positive, and she is always very talkative. :)
    Other?: Good luck to all other applicants! By the way, I cant believe you have given away 500,000+ to other users! This giveaway idea is helping the ECC community grow a ton. Thank you <3

    How have you been positively affecting the server?: Well I recently let 7 people at one time use my eff7 for free anytime, also I out a ton of money into other people through lotto. Also, on a more serious note, I have really been trying to help builders andresidents succeed on the server buy giving them advice and maybe even a little money.
    What are your plans for the future on ECC?: Get all the money I need to collect from my debt and use it on something other than lotto.
    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: My goal is Fly+, Investigator, and president, without some extra cash I can't get all of these things so this would greatly help me.
    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?:
    Other?: Either yourself, Ctoolme bARely_TrYx_HI or King_of_the_Dot

    All three are very generous and nice people, they all have worthwhile things to spend to money on and it won't go to waste!

    (P.S. Please don't be bias falcon, if you feel like you need to let me win don't judge by anything I've done for you :p pick the best applicant, I don't want this to be unfair)

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I don't want to be arrogant of "why I am better than other ECC users", but I just want to say that I have been on this server for a while now and I work hard while I'm on the server. In the past few days, I haven't been able to get on the server due to High School. I wish to be on the server as much as I was before High School, but it is stressful to do it daily.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I would like to use the resources for my town that will be for new users that join ECC. I do this because as a builder, it was very difficult to find a plot. I would like to give builders an easy way to live on the server of ECC.
    Other: If I were to buy something for my town, it would probably spend it on a town portal to help transport builders to their plots in the most efficient way.

    How have you been positively affecting the server?: I have been helping the server by informing new players about the server. The proof I have is that I've even build a wild home that is within spawn's local chat range (Pm me if you wanna see it :D)
    What are your plans for the future on ECC?: My plans on ECC is to continue what I love to do, which is making towns. I have built a town that is around 85% finished, planning to be for Residents and Builders.
    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: As mentioned before, the money would help me buy portals, heal signs, warps, and almost anything that would help my town become better

    Other?: 75k is a lot of money to give away, which is why I appreciate you as a ECC user. It is equivalent to 15$ usd, and the way you give it away to people in need is just amazing.

    How have you been positively affecting the server?:
    I help people as often as I can, whether it is some petty issue or a very important question. For new residents+, I have made a Trade Sign Tutorial which is very helpful and shows you first hand how to make a trade sign, what to enter, and how to find what to enter:



    What are your plans for the future on ECC?:
    I hope to eventually have an Eff7 pick of my own after I finish the payments on the one I broke. :( I would also like to finish my town and showcase it to the public and sell houses and farm perms. If I had the time, I would like to be a Moderator and/or Supermod, however I don't have the time.

    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?:
    This giveaway will help me make another payment on the Eff7 I broke.

    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?:
    Bnutz244 Bnutz is probably my favorite Moderator. He is a swell guy and he has helped me out tons, and he has given me a little help to pay off the Eff7 I broke. He is overall a great Moderator.

    Other?:
    Aquila looks great. I can't wait to see it completely finished! Like I said with being a Moderator and/or SuperMod, if I had the time I would like to apply for a building job in your town. You've seen Colhen and you know I am also a Medieval Builder. :)

    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?:If I win 1st place, I would go buy some nice decorations from the spawn shops and give the people i know some decorations for their home.
    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?:Yes, Bnutz244. He deserves a reward because he is a good mayor and is very fair, unlike a lot of other people.

    How have you been positively affecting the server?:
    I have been nothing but an antisocial, introverted lump on this server, electing to stay absolutely silent with the exception of price checks, trade offers, hiring, and all the mundane day-to-day assistance I require from donators.

    Due to my nature as an antisocial, introverted lump, I believe that I, in no way at all, cause a negative effect on the server. Due to this, the unavoidable positive affect of my simply being active (voting, buying r-reps, buying from spawn-shops) is untarnished.

    What are your plans for the future on ECC?:
    My personal plans on ECC involve amassing an endless sea of wealth. I am working on an investment right now, but because I am an antisocial, introverted, lump, I would prefer not to state this plan publicly until I am required to, but it will be big and beautiful.

    Because the nature of this thread implies that I should be attempting to make a positive impression, I will also state that after I have amassed this sea of wealth, I will probably host giveaways in a similar fashion as this thread. I should continue on to say that I would be doing so to give others the opportunity to advance themselves on the server, or to inspire generosity amongst the people, but in all honesty it would probably have more to do with achieving a state of "warm fuzzies."

    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?:
    As stated before, I would enjoy swimming in a sea of wealth. My investment plans, however, require me to have a massive lake of wealth which the prize money will contribute to.

    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?:
    There are many players who deserve this prize. Unfortunately, I do not know any of their usernames for they, like I, are antisocial, introverted lumps that remain silent. I believe we are the base of the server, silently buying from spawn-shops, entering the lottery, and playing the hunger games all while remaining invisible to the social butterflies flitting in the global chat.

    These people probably deserve this reward more than I do because in posting this, I am being a little bit less antisocial than they are, and thus they are just a little bit more unrecognised and a little bit more unappreciated.

    Other?:
    I am not entirely sure if I entered this contest because of the money or because I wanted to be a pompous white knight standing up for antisocial, introverted, lumps. Likely, it is both, and in the probable chance that I am not selected, I will have you know that I greatly enjoyed writing this.

    As a last note: I even spell-checked.

    How have you been positively affecting the server?: I have given money to others, helped
    countless users in both sg and chat, and have tried to inflict a positive mood every day that I play.

    What are your plans for the future on ECC?: I plan to become a mayor, apply for staff, and become a moderator. I've always loved to help others out, and I think becoming a mod here will help me aspire to be my very best.

    How will winning this giveaway help you reach your goals?: I will be able to get permissions to gigafarms and a pumpkin axe, and will work my way to pay back a 100k loan due in a few weeks.

    EDIT: I also got scammed a pumpkin axe today (Saturday), so I need money to buy a new one. :/

    Is there another player who you think deserves a prize along with yourself? If so, why do they deserve a reward?: I can't really think of anyone else.

    Other?: I just want to say that I appreciate what you're doing for the community by giving away this money. It's incredibly selfless of you, and I think you're amazing.
