Builder Application: Dreasp: ACCEPTED

Player name: Dreasp

How did you find out about us: Through youtube. I drop into minecraft from time to time to just let creativity flow and relax. Whenever I feel that I need some inspiration I would look at youtube on different builds people have done. That is how I found Ardacraft.

How old are you?: 23

Where are you from?: Norway

Are you in our Discord? Do you understand that you must have Discord running at all times when at your computer, and that you must check the forums every few days?: Yep!

Why do you want to help with this project?: I`ve never been a fan of anything, I just like some things more than others. However, if I were to choose anything it would have to be Lord of the Rings. It is something I can’t get enough of. Minecraft is something that I constantly fall back to whenever I need to find some peace, but as all things, it gets jading at times being alone. This server is great as I get to work with people and things that interest me.

Which Tolkien-related works have you read, seen or listened to?: I have seen all the movies, both the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. Haven’t read the Hobbit but I have read the Lord of the Rings.

Plot ID: -4:28

Are there any styles that you excel at? Any styles which you have difficulty with?: I have done alot of nordic style houses, that can easily be implemented to the general human styles. Recently been experimenting alot with elven style, it has been a big interest the last weeks, neither has it been easy to get down, but the style is really fun to play around with.

You certainly show a high level of competence as well as a decent understanding of our build styles. Your dedication also seems very promising. As a result, the leadership team has decided to promote you to Apprentice. Please make sure to read all the information below.

Being an Apprentice means you are a part of the project, but not a full Builder yet. You have this rank so you can learn and understand how we build. We have high standards and a focus on realism which means that there are things for you to learn.

Your duties as an Apprentice should give you good grounding to become a Builder, and, as such, you will begin your first lot of on-server building work assisting current Builders on their builds. This will hopefully allow you to obtain the experience needed to build on your own when you feel you can start on building something on your own.

When building as an Apprentice, you are only permitted to build on one building at a time. This not only provides you with good practice for your time as a Builder, but also allows project leaders and Overseers to get a good and clear idea of what your building abilities are. This will allow us to give you better and more bespoke feedback, and prevent any unnecessary problems.

Finally, as an Apprentice you must always listen to project leaders when they give you feedback, criticisms, and tasks. Ask them if you are unsure of what to build, or how to build it. You have this rank to learn.

In order to eventually obtain Builder, please read the guidelines below:

When you build a house in a project and think it is finished, you should post a comment on this application thread with the closest warp and coordinates of your house. Then Builders or Overseers will comment on this thread and give you fair feedback. When you have achieved a standard of building that matches the basic standard of the server, you will be promoted to Builder. This could be on your first build or one further down the line.

ArdaCraft is a friendly community that explores the freedom to create and build together. However, when we are dealing with an enormous project like this there are some guidelines we need to follow to make it work.

Firstly, always name the stuff you build. We have a set of project blocks that we use - you can read about those in the new player guide at ‘/warp spawn’.

Secondly, if you are looking for something to help out with, you can type ‘/warp jobs’. This is where you can find all open jobs like building houses or something similar. You will be provided with instructions on how to get to these projects, and what to build once you get there.

Thirdly, do not be afraid to ask members for help and get to know us. This is a community project and it’s important to be part of the community! Stay active on Discord and the forums. Make sure to let Fornad know who you are on Discord so that he can give you the appropriate rank on there.

Good luck with the rest of your application, and happy building!

The flet is too overdetailed, and you shouldn’t have books in Lorien villages. Otherwise your stuff is looking good.
