Builders for New and Upcoming Server BlokaMC.com with several gamemodes!

[ChesterCheeto_]

Hello everybody, I am an Admin on the up and coming server Blokamc.com that will feature several popular gamemodes, including HCF, Skywars, Practice, Kitmap, and more to come in the future.

Currently, we are hiring a few builders and a developer to help further the progress of our server. This thread will be more focused on the Builders. If you are interested in becoming a Developer, there is a similar thread in the Developing section. For builders, we will need some screenshots/video proof of YOUR builds. We are mainly looking for people who can design skywars maps, and practice arenas. However, in the future we will require more builds, (mostly hcf spawns, Ends, Nethers) so do not be afraid to apply! We also require that builders must be active, and can respond to staff members if we are in need of new builds. Failure to be active, using other peoples/servers work, or griefing/intentional malfunction of any builds will result in a demotion.
Your builds will not go unpaid however; all builders will recieve 3% of profits from the server gains.

If you are interested in becoming a builder/developer for BlokaMC, please use and follow this format, and reply with your answers. Note: We use discord as our primary communication service for the server, so please respond with your discord tag. (Example, exampleuser#3245)

Please be genuinely honest with your answers, we are looking to improve our server so if you feel like you have what it takes, go ahead and reply. Good luck to all applicants!

3% of the likely miniscule profits not really much of an incentive :/

So let's see.... Assuming you turn a profit(!) of $5000 per month (quite a high number, considering the situation with the EULA), that'd be
$150. So that's the value per month you could expect, at most, assuming a very optimistic builder decided to assume you reach that much.

a more realistic assumption, if your server even becomes successful, would be about $1000 per month of profit. That'd mean $30 per month. Aka about 2 basic skywars maps per month, or about 5-8 practice arenas. I assume the 3% is PER builder? So that'd be that much per builder.

Even so, builders would have to gamble on your server becoming successful. Most builders will simply assume the worst (that the server fails miserably and they never get paid).
A better way would be to offer a budget for builds that's lower than normal prices, and offer a percentage on TOP of that. Let's say, for example, that you would normally have to spend $500 on all builds. Instead, you offer 10-20% of profits for the first year of existence, and you offer $200 for all those builds. That MIGHT interest some. They'd get paid still, meaning they've got SOMETHING for their effort even if the server fails, and they'd have a chance of making a bigger profit than they normally would if your server is successful.

You see, in a gamble like this, you have to offer potential for a bigger profit than they would get from a stable job, or nobody will take it unless they're desperate.
