Spawn Town Mission #6.

Who are you: Who is anybody? Okay but really, I am strongpelt, a 21 year old girl trying to figure out what life is all about as an adult. I am shy irl, I don't open up to many people. Online is where I can express my true self. I'm not scared when I play games. I'm not worried about being judged. I am free as strongpelt. As far as what I've done irl that is me... nothing really impressive. Didn't go to college even though my grandma had a fund saved up for me. Had to help my family out with the bills and my only true passion was kinda flooded (video production) so I was too worried I was gonna end up being in debt and jobless. So here I am, a barista just trying to pay her bills.

When did you join ECC and why: I remember playing an economy server before. I remember I quit because i couldn't figure out anything... not one thing. Made me upset so I looked for an economy server again (years had passed since i was last on an economy server) and I found ecc. Loved it, Loved that I actually got accepted into a town that had the rules and what to do laid out better. (Big improvement since then on the servers rules) I fell in love with the community. It was small, which was perfect. I could actually chat without my message being lost in a sea of text and ignored. People actually responded. Haven't left because the community is still great. I feel like family, and hey we even have some annoying users that can be like the annoying uncle lol.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out: Not too many impressive builds... or projects really. I donated a lot, but thats not really that special lol. Lots of people donate. hm... I guess just hanging out in chat and actually trying to engage people in chat. Just having fun, being around to help users if I can. I cant really think of anything else for this question that wont be covered in the next.

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out: My favorite memory that I can think of that helped the community the most for me was the Easter egg hunt I put on last year. (or was it the year before that o.o?) It was bloody insane. I had like 9 rounds of hunts with only 2ish hours between each round because i wanted everyone in every time zone to have a chance to join at least one hunt. I at the time didn't have a normal 9-5 job that i had to go to. I had a stay at home answer the phone kind of job. and I managed to get Easter off. So I was able to do all the rounds. Now, I do remember I had aman take over one round because in all my planning, I forgot i needed sleep. So i passed over 1 round and got about 4 hours of sleep before I did the next round. I hid eggs everywhere in mining, with spawn eggs inside the quartz eggs. I bought the eggs with my own ecd. I probably could have gotten help from the SA's however It was last minute, and I wanted to give the community a good time. A lot of people really enjoyed it, and even though I was completely drained energy wise after that, I'd still do it over again If i had the chance c: It was really fun, and really rewarding to see how happy it made the other users.

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town: I've always wanted one. My job has been very short staffed and I've been scheduled 6 day weeks without overtime lately, haven't been able to do any other mission challenges. This will probably be my only chance at nailing a spot in the drawing. If I win a town, I'm split on making it into just something the captures my entire feeling of eco city craft into one spectacular town. Or my other idea, was to make it have a monument to the different country's in the world, and decorate it on different country's holidays, or bring light to one place if a disaster happens. I've also thought about making a giant event town, and just hosting a crap-ton of events for people there. The community likes to be engaged in activity's after all. Honestly, my idea's are endless when it comes to a spawn town, and even if i don't get a spawn town I plan to make some of these ideas still.

 

Who are you: I'm me and that's the way I like it. I'm 32, was in the U.S. Air Force for just shy of 12 years, got out in 2016 and moved to Taiwan to work with a friend of mine. Life has been INSANE since then. Things are good though. I've been spending a lot of free time lately on skyblock and I'm super psyched about City Server!

When did you join ECC and why: Let's see, I joined on June 27, 2013. My wife, at the time, and my step daughters were talking about minecraft a lot, but I was deployed to Al Udeid, Qutar (@koko_2022) so it was really hard to play with them. I was there for 6 months. Anyways, I love economy driven games and did a search for economy minecraft servers. That's where I found ECC. I've been here on and off ever since. I just can't stop playing here. The server owner and regulars that have stayed keep me here. I've tried other servers but this is my favorite for many reasons.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out: This is a tough one and kind of goes right into the next question. I haven't done any single awesome thing that stands out. I might be best known for stocks back when we had the stock challenge though. That was a cool contest that I enjoyed. That wasn't really "on" ECC though. Other than that, I try to help new players or anyone that asks for help really. I would like to think that most know me as a pretty nice guy.

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out: This one is a little easier. Like I said above, I've tried to help new players as much as I can. I've given people patron and other donation features just because. I've given away items in game, donated more than I care to ever say, I've bought people features for ECD to try and help them and the server itself keep going, I've done a lot of little things like that. I donate so much because I like the server and I want to see it keep going. I'm extremely excited for this "new main" city server. It will be a lot of fun I think, and I hope it brings back some old players and brings in new players alike.

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town: I believe that I should be entered into this drawing because, well, everyone deserves a chance right? I don't consider myself special at all. With this town though, I'd like to build something that looks nice and I want to have a lot of new player friendly services and areas to help them out. There are so many out there that I believe deserve a spawn town just as much as me. Most have the same reasons. So we will see how this goes. Either way, I'm sure these towns will go to some amazing players. We have a lot on here Good luck to the rest of you applying for this one as well. Twisted out!

 

Who are you: Mcguy65, I am 21 years old.

When did you join ECC and why:I joined in April of 2014, I really like economy servers/games, I like running stores in games and making money/currency. When I found ECC with such a huge focus on economy and player base, I knew this was a awesome fine.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out: like i mentioned above I really love economy, so running a successful shop like mcgland2 was a really big accomplishment to me, and getting tycoon and my star tool goals an such (mainly eff7 and star axe) was a pretty cool goal to complete on the archive server!

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out: I haven't done nearly as much as others in this community. But I have done a couple of cool things (cool to me) I co-owned a builder town called diamondbay some of you may know, I also ran a very successful store called mcgland2 which I am sure most of you know. I feel like providing a place for builders to get started at, and a place to shop and sell there goods to is a big help/need in a economy focus community like ECC!

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town: I think it would be cool to run a shop/builder town, teaching new players how to run a store an such (would have shop plots and focus on teaching others in the community how to run a successful store) and help the community with so many options/stores where they can purchase blocks and other items the community will need!

 

Who are you:
My name is @matrix_rep, 19, beast at comps, and I am the only one to have won 6 HOH's in BB history
When did you join ECC and why:
I joined ECC in Feb 2014, I joined because I had a group of friends that wanted to try it out! I am the only one that is kinda active today.
What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out:
I believe I have done a hell of a lot on ECC. I know I am not your typical Minecraft player who prides themselves on their amazing builds - something that honestly I was never really good at. But, I believe my creation of /warp debt is pretty outstanding. Sure from the outside it seems like just a simple casino that just took a couple minutes to build, but in reality "/warp debt is not a place it's a people" -Odin. When a user mentions the words /warp debt I don't think there is one single player on ECC back when it was in full function that could honestly say that they had never heard of it.
What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out:
Apart from the numerous giveaways that I had done in my early days as a member of ECC. I began this relief fund for a short period to try and help members of the community get some money back from being scammed.
https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/matrix_rep-relief-fund.155765/#post-868970
Now I understand 10% wasn't a lot and looking back I could have probably given a lot more but it was nice for the time period that it was up (around 6 months) now I'm kinda broke tho so plz don't go spam the thread .
Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town:
I joined ECC when rising spawn had come out, I never knew the old spawn or really anything prior to rising on the server. However, I would love to be able to create a town for new members of our community and maybe even hire some of the best builders on ECC to help build a beautiful town.

 

Who are you: As my username probably gives away, I am stoler202. I happen to be 15 years old as of now. I live at home and go to school, like any normal person of my age. If there is anything special that I'd like to point out about myself, that is not related to ECC, then it is probably my passion for chemistry. I spend a fair amount of time on chemistry-related projects. But to be honest, I don't think that my hobbies IRL have much to do with what for/why I am applying.

When did you join ECC and why: I joined in August 2012, which is more than 6 years ago. I remember joining ECC, because I was looking for an economy server. I got quite into it and up to this day, ECC is my most played on server, to which I dedicated the most of my time and effort in Minecraft.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out: Most of my time on ECC I have devoted to my two towns: LesMines and LosCraftos. Ever since I joined and before I got mayor, having a town was my main dream. And ever since I got two, I have only ever been working on them. Most of my work can be seen in the town of LosCraftos, to which I have dedicated many hours of my life.

Spoiler: LosCraftos

Yes, it's an old screenshot, but hey, it has shaders.

So, really, I believe that the most important thing I have done on ECC is simply building.

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out: I do have to admit, I am struggling to answer this question. I was fairly inactive in the community during my first two years, and not very, so to say, "helpful" (people from back then will understand) during the next two. I don't consider there to be any need to deny such a past, and I find it best to learn from one's own mistakes and move on.
During my last two years on ECC I have tried engaging with the growing ever-so-smaller community of the main server and being more, I guess, friendly than before, but I hardly consider that there is anything special that I might have done for the community as a whole.
I may have not done any major events, giveaways or projects, but hey, at least I was always part of y'all folks. Who knows, maybe the new server will be a new chance for us all, including me.

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town: I have always considered towns to be the most important aspect of ECC. My biggest passion on ECC has always been building new things that I could sell to someone on this server. This is probably the main reason why I chose to build towns on an economy server, rather than a creative one.
I have never considered myself to be overly achieving in anything on ECC, despite my long time on the server: I have never made it my goal to make the most money possible. Hence, most of what I made went towards something I cared about most: my towns. Since I have never really achieved much, I think I have lived a fairly ordinary "life" on ECC.
And I think, that having a spawntown might somehow change things around, make my existence a bit more interesting. I don't specifically want the town because of the monetary gain (because then, I'd just run a plot town), but I hope that it will let the things I create be appreciated by a broader audience on the server, rather than just a few people, who accidentally /warp'ed to my town. I guess this is what I've always longed for: to have my creations seen and appreciated.

Who are you:
to me i am the Romper83273 a red huggable Yoshi that runs around and helps her Minecraft family all 33 of them boy I miss my Penguinpixi minecraft wife and our 32 kids lol I am who ever you believe I am or am not its up to you I guess

When did you join ECC and why:
July 2011 server
August 10 2012 forums
server was a close my eyes and lick on a server and bingo you guessed what server I clicked ECC
forums because I hit some setting that turned on chat and realized there was a website

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out:
Be a Giant Narc to those being inappropriate or  breaking the rules and keeping some of my Minecraft children in line  while others well hmmmmm Waite I think only one of my children may be banned ill have to go check that brb

nope I was wrong none of my children are banned that I know about anyways

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out: I don't know maybe I should start a thread and ask but if I had to answer this then be myself stick up for people who need it and be a good player role model

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town:

I don't think I should or should not I think everyone who answers these questions should be thrown in a hat and 5 picked out but you know I dont pick there rules however It would give me a reason to play more and design a new town idea I have

 

Who are you:
My name is ajp79. I am 39 years old, married and have 3 kids (you can find pics all over the ECC forums). I have played minecraft religiously since it was created many years ago. I actually bout the first Beta foe $5 when it was only placing 16 blocks. I have been involved in many "multiplayer" projects since SMP became popular in 2011-2012 mainly with PvP servers. Since joining the ECC community in early 2012 I have remained a pretty steady figure in the community watching many come and go over the years.

When did you join ECC and why:
2012 after hunting down a troll who was harassing players on a PvP server. Eventually I tracked him and his brother (many have hard this story) to ECC. I was instantly smitten with the "Hardcore" economy and of course an amazing community of players, many of which became good friends. IT was a great mix of players from all walks of life with a good number of older players that I could relate to. Since then ECC has been the only SMP server I have played on for the most part.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out:
I have done/seen just about everything on this server. I have been involve in many projects, discussions, etc involving improvements, ideas, designs, and on and on... I have been on the staff team 3 times 2012-2014 and worked to help reduce player scamming as much as possible by catching players and getting them banned. I assisted with the original spawn build as well as the first player market. I helped with the release of the first mining world with bug testing etc...I have also been credited with a few others of forming one of the first and biggest ECC clans/clubs ever in Die:Mund. At its peak we had over 100 player members as well as 3 SAs as leaders/members, several GAs, 2 Devs, and well I guess you could say just about everyone else in 2012. At its peak it was arguably the most popular clan in ECC history with "The Brotherhood".

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out:
I have always been helpful and an advocate for new players, mainly trying to keep as much of a P2win balance as possible. As the years have gone by I still remember that experience as a new player on ECC and hate to see it leave. I have been a regular figure on the forums as well since the beginning... Die:Mund was started on the idea of creating a team that ultimately helps others and provides resources to players who may not have a lot or may not be welcomed by others. I am often involved in discussions/suggestions related to improving the server... as I feel long time/experienced players have a responsibility to do. As a staff member I regularly held contests, trivia, events at spawn often giving away my own money/items. If fact the majority of ECD i have acquired during that time frame went to the players..I rarely kept any for my self as many know. Unfortunately IRL made it difficult to continue being a staff member of late as my workload became heavier. However, i am still here (yes andrew you still have to put up with me for a while) so who knows what the future holds.


Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town:
Honestly... Since my play time has been limited so much lately, I just don't have the ability to do a lot in regards to spawn town raffles. I know that may not be the best reason, but im not really looking to profit/benefit from a spawn town. I have had projects on the back burner that it would be perfect for to display some player history of the server. I was hoping we were going to do something like this at spawn, but it appears not. It would be great to have players who have been here 5+ years have statues built or something like that... I don't know. So yeah thats what I was hoping for.

 

I know this is late but I guess I can throw my hat into the ring

Who are you:
I am Zedoker, a senior college student in Minnesota. I am currently studying Psychology with a concentration in neuroscience with hope of going to a graduate school to study behavioral neuroscience so I can help research learn the fundamentals of drug addiction's behavioral and neurological mechanisms, and why people fall into it and how to learn from it.

When did you join ECC and why:
I joined ECC back in early 2013. Initially I joined because a server that I had played previously shut down. It was only a 20 person prison-economy server at its peak, but all the owners had grown older and didn't have the time to really upkeep the server, and were forced to close it down.
Soon after, I found myself scrolling down various minecraft forums to find a server that was related to what I had before. Ecocitycraft was the first economy server to pop up, and I decided to join. Initially overwhelmed, I found my first plot, then started to make friends. Those friends, both still present and those long gone, really helped me to stay on ECC for as long as I have been.

What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out:
I believe that something that I have done is being a staff member along with a user that has been here since early days. While 2013 is 2 years after ECC opened its doors, those who were from the past are a little rarer then the influx of new users that we have today. The traditions and lessons that I learned from back then I try to apply today. It is also something that I try to apply whenever I find myself on the staff team. Building upon the years of experience that I have really helped me stand out in what I have done on ECC.

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out:
Similar to my previous answer, being on staff for every year except for one since I've been here has enabled me to broaden my outreach to the community, which is something that I am super proud about. I have been told about how my behavior on the staff team has been admirable to some, along with being a staff member that isn't just about the rules, but also as a member of the community. The years of experience that I have on ECC help me connect with new and old members to make informed decisions about anything that I do.

Why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town:
I know that asking for things for myself is something frowned upon, and with the previous spawn towns in Rising (when they were auctioned), I made the mistake of making it for myself, and for any profit that came with it. ECC is a server built on community, and while I may not have the building skills that others have, nor the funding that others have, I want to have the chance to create something special. Something that every user, new to old or rich or broke, can experience. I don't exactly have the plans for it yet, but the opportunity to create something will be tremendous, and I know I will have a large community aspect (including what to put in the town) at play if I am fortunate to be selected for the draw.

 

I’ve been away for a week and have only just seen this
Not sure whether this is still open or not BUT I figured I’d try my luck anyway just in case.

Who are you:
Outerlocal. President of the Zodiac nation. Former staff member (2011). Creator of the zodiac story.



When did you join ECC and why:
I joined the server just over 7 years ago, back before even the legacy map was a thing. To me Minecraft has always been a place for me to forget about the real world and build my own. That’s why I joined and that’s why I’ve stuck around for so long. I was looking for a place where I could meet new people, make friends, and create some bad-ass builds. 7 years later: I say mission accomplished


What have you done on ECC that you believe stands out:
The obvious answer to this would be my nation: The Zodiac Nation. Over 7 years I have created a huge nation comprised of nearly 30 towns. These towns include many iconic buildings, such as The Titanic (which you still own a special VIP room in), the beautiful rising spawn town of Tauron, and the EXPO events complex (a huge events complex complete with a museum, art gallery, horse racing ect.), just to name a few. Building is what I am best known for, and I hope that I can continue my legacy on this new map.



The other thing I am perhaps best known for is my love of writing stories, and far from being just another town, the zodiac nation has taken on a life of it’s own over the years, and now has a very detailed lore behind it. The story aspect of my nation was detailed through the Zodiac Living Story: a series of stories on the forums which reflected real changes in game to my nation. Players were encouraged to get involved in the story and help decide how it would play out, with the help of in-game puzzles and stories to explore. The Zodiac nation is something that I have become a strange level of invested in, and I hope that it can somehow live on in the future. I’m not ready to say goodbye to it just yet.

What have you done for the ECC community that you believe stands out:
Beyond just building, I have spent my time here hosting various events: the most successful being the Midsummer Festival and Wintersday, which (with the kind help of your admin team) did something completely unique for the community. With a lot of hard work on my part, working for months before on the story, characters, in-game locations and practical details of the festival, Midsummer introduced in-game quests that players could complete to earn tokens, which could then be exchanged for special midsummer prizes. It was something completely new that had never been done before, certainly not to this scale, and something that I am very proud to have been able to do during my time here. The Wintersday festival last christmas continued this idea, although on a slightly smaller scale, but again encouraged players to get involved in something different from the usual grind, and from the feedback I have received both were very well liked.



why should you, specifically, be entered into a draw for an exclusive City server spawn town:
Throughout my time here I have seen three maps come and go, and I have left my mark on each of them. In that time I have shown not only a skill for building, but also a desire to make this server the very best that it can be. Over the years I have (somehow) managed to avoid the various conflicts, and have been a consistent, loyal face on the server, even if that means at times ignoring all the drama, keeping to myself and preferring to focus on the fact that at the end of the day this is a game, and we are all here to have fun. The EXPO complex was my attempt to create a space that was accessible for every user, and a place based around the community that we all know and love. Where rank and experience was irrelevant, and a place that people could rediscover the aspects of the game that made them first fall in love with ECC. This is something that I want us to focus on going into this new chapter, and if I were to be awarded with the spawn town, I would ensure that the space is truly put to the best use that it can be: The City Community Centre. A beautifully crafted space for seasonal festivals, player-run competitions and events and above all a place where players will come together to enjoy their time on the server once again.

Once again, I know that this is past the deadline, but I hope you can still take what I have written into consideration.

- Just another oldie, hanging on in there
