WHY?: I've never enjoyed anything in Minecraft more than creating and making my town Oakvale with my assistants and town members. I loved how we were like a tight knit community and would like to remake Oakvale again in V6. The reason I gave it up was because I was on a 7 month internship and couldn't dedicate time to the town.

EXPERIENCE: I started out being a TA in Winterhold about a year and a half ago.  I created Oakvale and was mayor for about 8 months then after giving up the town, I became sub mayor.

TIME: I just now got internet back after moving into my new place, so I for sure have access to internet.   Since my internship is over with and I have a place with internet, I for sure will have time to play most nights.

PLAN: I want to build Oakvale again, but better this time. Plans I never got to in the old Oakvale will go into affect this time, and I will finish the Mountain of Noobs, once and for all.

Agreement

I (fish_james) accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

IGN: Timebomb742

WHY?: I would like to build a community within my town again

EXPERIENCE: I gained bought a town off of someone in V5 and was mayor for over 6 months before V6 was announced.

TIME: I will get on frequently but I don't know how long for. Atleast an hour though.

PLAN: Haven't got any idea BUT I will try to work with residents to create a town based off their ideas.

Agreement

I (Timebomb742) accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

Note: I know the topic header says v5 Mayors only, but in the thread it also says "Once V6 is release anyone may apply for Town creation Permissions." and V6 has been released.

IGN: Reigando.

WHY?: I wish to create a town where people can live with no taxes and no stifling of simple conversations.

If an international news story comes up, I want people to be able to speak their mind on it within the city limits and party group. I don't mean giving people carte blanche to start slinging racial slurs and things of the like, I just mean being able to carry on a conversation or even argument without immediately hearing "Guys, let's move away from this topic."

Furthermore, if someone gets bored with minecraft for a few weeks, or something else prevents them from logging in I want them to not have any fear of being kicked out of the town for not being able to cover taxes when they go away. Real life happens, you shouldn't have to worry about losing your stuff in the virtual world because of it.

Freedom is very important to me, and I would like to create a haven for like-minded people who share my love of freedom and prosperity.

EXPERIENCE: I've been a guild leader and/or strategist in multiple MMOs including WoW most prominently and Guild Wars 2 most recently. I've led both small elitist raid teams and large inclusive guilds pushing a thousand members.

TIME: I have military duties first and foremost, so if I'm activated I'm activated. However I tend to find a way to get on the internet even if I'm stuck in a barracks. As many have seen, I can dedicated a lot of time and effort to minecraft.

PLAN: Growth and prosperity. I already have all of the money required to start my town and a handful of players interested in joining it. I would like to get my permission to get started and get to work.

Cosmetically I am going for a dark urban feel with my structures, appropriate to the town's namesake, but other people are free to build what they want.

You'll be leaving in March right? Do you have any players that are able to keep the town afloat whilst you are offline or when you have a reduced amount of time? We want to try and keep the town community active and interesting, instead of having lots of ghost towns. Are there sub-mayors willing to help you with this place? Just to confirm before we accept the application, otherwise you seem to have a good plan/idea for your town. Best of luck!

I will still have internet in March, it'll just be limited. I'll still be around, just not in the extreme amounts I currently am.

I am in the nerdy side of the military, so being on a computer all day professionally is kinda what I do.

I have not yet decided to promote anyone to sub-mayor, but I have a couple people interested in the position that I am feeling out.

IGN: UnlikelyPirate

WHY?: Cuz I R aewsum! hah. No, because Tortuga must rise again! My townies and I really love running a town that is dedicated to the growth all players from noob to uber. Just like Tortuga is currently set up to be friendly to newcomers, New Tortuga will take on that challenge as well.

EXPERIENCE: Been mayor of Tortuga since forever. Many moons ago, I came onto Noobstown, found an awesome community, and determined that I needed to contribute to it. I befriended Iboabdalla who bought a town and I helped him build it from scratch. Tortuga is that town and is now one of the premier towns on the server.

TIME: All the time and plenty of it. When I am not around, I have many trusted townies that cover each others roles to ensure the town runs smoothly.

PLAN: Cliff/canyon/mountainy stronghold town next to the ocean. Very peaceful and noob friendly town with low cost high quality plots and amenities throughout the town.

Agreement

I (UnlikelyPirate) accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

IGN: ProtocolAlpha

WHY?: Because we want Tortuga to rise again, we want to have our town and little community back. It was a great experience being part of that town in V5 and I want this experience back and available for others. To help and teach other players, to give them a place to live, a home. We were very popular and big town in V5 that helped and give shelter and many other services to many players. Currently our mayor (UnlikelyPirate) will not be as active due to personal issues so with the consent of the Tortuga Staff I have been decided to be the new mayor.

EXPERIENCE: I was Town Assistant in Tortuga back in V5, also in World of Warcraft I had a lvl 25 guild with about 200 members and I often was leader and organised a lot of raids.

TIME: Currently I have been playing a lot since V6 came out, mainly focusing in getting the money to crate Tortuga, since now that I am not in that race of getting that much money for the town I will focus more my time in building the town and dealing with all its affairs.

PLAN: Tortuga currently has a big group of staff members which we together will manage the town (Tekstyle4x20, Ummfredfelizco, Sombrerodude, Jemery11, Ajinnes20, and Bretticus9k), we already have a place that our old Mayor (UnlikelyPirate) liked for the town, we will be making Tortuga a suitable place to live for residents to come and enjoy V6 at its fullest!

IGN: Debo37

WHY?: Noobstown is thus far the strongest community I've encountered in Minecraft - it is fairly run and very well-moderated, the behavioral standards upheld are unmatched elsewhere, the administrative team is active and involved, and the dual focus on economic gameplay and good old fashioned fun makes playing here a rewarding experience in every way.

I would like to lead a town in v6 because I've made the best Minecraft friends a guy could ask for from this server, and I want to give them the most killer v6 experience possible. I would consider myself part of a rarer demographic of Minecraft player - myself and others like me prioritize high achievement and "mega building" as some of the most enjoyable parts of Minecraft. Nothing gets us going like building incredible things with restricted resources - when players are restrained by economic realities, creativity flourishes.

I want to be part of a v6 town that emphasizes architectural style, fosters town member camaraderie, and participates in a healthy dose of economic competition. I want to help others build a town that truly impresses; a town that any member would be darn proud to be a part of.

EXPERIENCE: I have a large amount of leadership experience. To take it from the top - I am presently co-owner of a Limited Liability Company (a software development firm) incorporated in the State of Colorado, hold a Vice President role (and held several other minor roles) in my college social fraternity, managed a now-defunct 1,000 member community associated with custom content in the Halo series of games (Halo 3 and Halo: Reach), ran a 50+ person clan of Pokemon breeders waaaay back in the days of the Nintendo NSider Forums, captained several ice and inline hockey teams, held executive roles in several clubs and organizations in college and high school, ran several short-lived clans in the online heydays of Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters, and was mayor of the town Seaside and leader of its associated nation in Noobscraft's v5. I've also led several factions in faction-based servers and always had a blast doing so.

TIME: I return for my last year of undergrad this Fall, and for the first time in my college career I won't be taking a full courseload. I will have plenty of free time to split between Noobscraft and my LLC - and I love going back and forth between playing games and coding them for inspiration. In addition, I will be able to delegate a lot of responsibility to an incredibly-capable crop of Town Assistants whom I have come to know and love throughout the past year and a half. Some of these people I know in person, and some of them I met via Noobscraft, but we all share the same passions and big dreams for what this town can and will become.

PLAN: While I don't want to spoil the unique concept behind this town (it's going to be private to members and secret until a solid amount of it is built), I do feel comfortable giving a general sense of the design's aims and what to expect from it. It's also worth mentioning that I have roughly 15 to 20 people already on board for building this town, and I expect interest to spike significantly once we reveal to the rest of the community what we've been working on.

As I've already mentioned, we dream big. This town is going to be grandiose in all ways - large plots for its members, incredibly high-quality common spaces, and a unique design that allows organic growth without losing structure. A few of us have schemed out concepts and we have a basic framework that should serve us rather well (it uses some mathematical concepts to make navigation in town easy, for example). The design itself isn't set in stone per sé, but it allows for consistent adaptability that will allow new elements of the game to be incorporated as they are added, plus it will allow significant autonomy for TAs to add new sections of town with minimal consultation of higher leadership. When you give a small army of motivated builders a huge pool of common resources and few barriers to building, greatness is bound to happen.

Large town areas like farms and markets will certainly be included, but we also plan on offering public attractions for town visitors to enjoy - mazes, parkour courses, mob-filled adventure areas, roller coasters, and puzzles are just some of the ideas on the drawing board at present. Our town won't just be fun for residents - it will become a tourist attraction as well. To my knowledge no one's really tried to make a town that was both tourist and resident-friendly before, so I hope we're allowed to give it a shot!

Late reply, but for the record.. accepted! Good luck

IGN:DH4CFC

WHY?:Because i want to make another town and this time i have planned all aspects of the town. I really enjoyed being a mayor in v5. Learning all the comands i feel that this time our town will be much bigger and a better place to live.

EXPERIENCE:Was head TA of netherfrost since i started playing this server
I have been mayor of Athens just before v6 was announced

TIME:Weekdays 1-3 hours per day
Weekends 1-6 hours per day

PLAN:Myself and others have massive plans for v6. There will be individual districts to symbolise things you would think about ancient Greece (or Athens). We plan to build the pantheon as our spawn. We plan to make Athens one of the best looking towns on the server

Agreement

I DH4CFC accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

Accepted (v5 Mayor)

IGN: ZeeTheLegend

WHY?: I would like to start a town again because i loved running a town and having a community of my own, I would also like to provide players who don't want to build in the wilderness, (as well as those who do) a place to make their homes

EXPERIENCE: I was the founder and mayor of WinterHold in v5 for 1+ years

TIME: Around 6+ hours a day

PLAN: We already have the location layout and design for the town, Its going to be organized and better then WinterHold ever was

Agreement

I, ZeeTheLegend, accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

IGN: Mprint

WHY?: At first I wasn't sure if i was going to try and restart Gallifrey. After talking to my original town assistants and a few residents I found the inspiration I was looking for and decided I not only want to bring my town back to life. I wanted to make it much better, for the residents.

EXPERIENCE: Yes, I ran Gallifrey during V5. I also have ran guilds in WoW and run a Army on Firefall currently.

TIME: Most of my time is free time, so I spend most of it playing games.

PLAN: My old town assistants and I plan to rebuild a better Gallifrey for everyone to enjoy.  More attractions, bigger areas for homes, and more.


Agreement:  I (Mprint) accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.

We now have the money to start, scouting location now.

Accepted.

Just waiting for the last TA.

IGN: BIRDMAN2121

WHY?: I have been running this town for a long time and have huge plans to make it one of the most revered towns of V6.

EXPERIENCE:  As I said, I have been running MorningWood for about as long as this server has been open.  I am also a manager at my local Pizza Hut, so I am used to being in charge, delegating task, and making things run smooth and efficient.

TIME:  I am usually able to get on at least once a day for a few hours.  I will be more busy as of recent due to the engagement and wedding planning.

PLAN:  My plans are to make a beautiful town sectioned off in to four districts each run by their own separate District Owner.  These people are much like mayor of their own section of town.  They get to pick a theme, design their district, and recruit their own staff.  This will help take the stress off of me as well so I am not doing everything.  We already have several people helping with raising funds and designing buildings.  We also plan to remake Party Park, a wondrous mini-game area full of fun and prizes for not only my residents, but everyone in noobstown.

Agreement

I, BIRDMAN2121, accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens of my town.

IGN:
Jackmwoodall14 (why him? read PLAN)

WHY?: I wish to create a Skyland worth remembering

EXPERIENCE: Mayor of Skyland
Prefect on Apoc
More stuff
Stuff stuff
stuff

TIME: I will be on quite a lot up until the town is fully complete. I will be on further when the town needs upgrades or just anything for me to build. I will only be on to build.

PLAN: I plan on putting my 120% onto this town once V6 comes out. I plan on making major improvements to the current idea of the town. Right now, you may see it as a pile of mixed styles and interests, you have one section stone, another with some grass, and some parts with wood walkways. I plan on building a much better Skyland. I will give it one theme, with a wooden library as its spawn. The theme will be a more medieval look, with a wide open and detailed sky island. I will create premade buildings and separate islands for the districts where people will have their homes. After all of the building is finished, I plan on passing they mayor rank to Jackmwoodll14 as he is clearly much more active than I am, and I believe he will do a better job with the residents of the town.

I am still working on ideas for what it will ultimately become, but so far here is what I have come up with:

The big wooden building will be spawn, while the other homes will be various places to visit for chest shops. I plan on having a butcher building where you can buy meats and axes. The big area that looks like an archery range is in fact an archery range. You will be able to buy a bow and arrows here, and practice your archery skills. The building with the quartz and wooden roof is the marketplace, where other items that dont really fit in will be sold, as well as a place people can sell directly to the town. Where the big jail like building is (cant really see it but it is near the spawn)will be a farm, I just have not gotten around to building it.
Agreement

I  (and Jackmwoodall14) accept the liability of the role and all of the citizens in my town.




EDIT:
Jack will be mayor, I will build, so I can focus on my prefect duties

Money Collected, Location found. (Remember to read the edit at bottom of his post)
