Hello there. My name is Awesome_Dante. I am 23 years old
I will cut straight to the chase.

I am the lead developer for an up and coming large network with unique game modes.
I am looking for someone or a group of people that have spectacular references and vouches to aid us in getting the network ready for launch.
Our games are not going to be easy. In fact if you have less than 4 years of experience setting up servers in minecraft I'm not even going to consider you.
I don't like having my time wasted.
We have a larger than average budget to afford serious people.

What I don't want to see here:
- People under 16.
- People who do not understand chain of command.
- People that cant do a single thing without asking what to do.
- People seeking power.
- people that are only specialized in basic plugins such as Factions, essentials, worldedit, crates, and other pointlessly simple plugins. I don't need only simple crap done.

If I can find at least one great config dev out there that actually can help our network. You will have it made.
I am willing to pay in excess of $200 for QUALITY.
And that number will only rise after the network opens because we are not going to stop developing.
We have a deadline and a crapload of time and money already invested in this project.

TL;DR
I need someone who knows their crap that I'm not going to end up firing for incompetence or lack of dedication.

You must be available for long periods of time during the day

PM me here or Skype me at "ricky_schlick"
YOU MUST SAY YOU ARE FROM MC-MARKET OR YOU WILL BE IGNORED.

----------------------
The Process
----------------------
1. Contact initiated.
2. Viable proof of ability is supplied to me
3. You are shown the network
4. You are told what needs to be done
5. A price is negotiated.
6. You configure our most simple server.
7. You get paid a portion of the full cost.
8. If the servers configuration is to my liking then you will be tasked with the other servers and paid as each server is completed


I will not pay a single cent up front. Simply because you could just disappear. Where as we cannot.

I Will give one last fair warning.
I do not have time for immaturity. If you cannot keep a professional demeanor I will not keep you.
I act fast and will cut you off from the network with 0 notice whatsoever if you cant keep a level head. I have too much invested in this project to let a stranger bring it allll down.

So was the entire argument settled? I honestly don't understand why people have an issue with this man, He just wants to get the job done right?

Still searching. Satelliting is not able to help due to bad timing. Or something. In any case feel free to message me.

Just want to let everyone know, including Wvisoecj since they asked, that this person was extremely rude when I told them I could not work for them.

Since school just started, none of my classes were concrete until this afternoon, and I was unsure how much time I would exactly have given that some of my classes were probably bound to change. In that regard, I picked up twice as many classes as I had before due to school coming before this Minecraft stuff (should be obvious but this person decided it wasn't). After I let them know, he unfriended me and went on a rant to me. Even Vice had some things he needed me to work on, and I had to warn him that school would be first and foremost as it should be.

"Whatever. I knew it. Not one single fucking person on McM is going to be reliable. Literally going to have to do everything myself.
I will just have to automate everything because apparently human beings are too useless to work with."

No offense, but you are essentially looking for college age people that have way more important things to do then what you are asking. Also, the user wants a lot of unique stuff for each of his 8 servers, and is essentially only paying $25 for it (total of $200). With the amount of work he is asking for, I have done some research and seen people paying $50-100 for each setup.

I was going to recommend working with him because he praised me at first for having good vouches and being able to deal with his attitude, "Hello there. This is Dante from Mc-Market post. Both myself and the Owner of the network (TheRonFather) are interested in your services. Mostly because despite talking to what would seem to a complete dick (Me) lol... You were still able to keep your head and not flail about like an immature person." However, now I would extremely not recommend it because of their attitudes.

Minecraft is a game, and while people have made it a living, offering $200 for something that most likely is worth around double or triple that does not make it worth avoiding my studies or failing a test because I had to do something for you or your little server. Especially now since your attitudes are what are killing you and any chance you may have had with finding some quality users.

I said IN EXCESS of $200 and that is based on the quality that I see.
That portion of the full cost is Literally the full cost of doing business with you.
We also mentioned you would be tasked to other servers and paid as each server is completed.
I wanted to start you off on one of our simpler servers. But we have a time frame and we knew you had vouches so we put you on our factions server instead.
Also not to mention You asked for a portion of payment up FRONT which I agreed to do. Good thing we didn't get around to that because you just split.
Let me tell you something man. When I am trying to pay someone a lot of money to get things done the last thing I need
to hear is this:
"
Since school just started, none of my classes were concrete until this afternoon, and I was unsure how much time I would exactly have given that some of my classes were probably bound to change.
"

What possessed you to think Id even want to do business with you If you didn't even know how much time you could spend?

You must be available for long periods of time during the day

I literally stated that I need people that are AVAILABLE.

If not here then where on earth can I go to find someone of college level that might be in between jobs right now and has to pay off some bills in return for a couple months worth of sitting at a computer building a game? Particularly a game that is run by people that are GOING to get the thing done. One way or another.
How often do you find that level of dedication?
We are willing to do what it takes to finish our design and open it to the public. We want to break some ground and design not only a successful server, but a profitable one as well.
With games that people absolutely want to play. And to do that we need help.
We have not stopped asking for people to help us from day 1 and EVERY person we get gives us problems in one way or another.
I have no idea if what you are saying is the truth or not. All I know is that Once again. Help isnt coming.
And yes. I am absolutely livid about it.

You knew going in that Im not going to be a nice guy until I can trust you.
I specifically said that.
Also why are you grouping in the owner with me? Hes not a dick like me
And on top of that he has never even gotten the chance to talk to you.
Hasnt sent you a single message I believe.

I am not going to be your buddy Dante until you can prove you aren't going to waste my time. I WILL be a hard ass and I WILL NOT go easy on you until you have earned my trust.

So don't act all butthurt and start slandering me because YOU could not provide my service.

I'm not here to be nice. I'm here to get things done.

How do we know that you're "GOING" to get the server done and done correctly? Do you have any experience running servers? You haven't told us much about yourself and what you can do.

Sure. Ill explain a bit about myself.
My IGN: Awesome_Dante
My Age: 23
My skype: ricky_schlick
Starting playing minecraft: 1.7.3 Beta
Started creating servers: 1.1 Release

Prior server experience:
I have worked on many servers in the past. I mean I could name a few but its really hard to remember all the ones I had developed things for back in the early days and besides it would be pointless anyway as most of them are now integrated into our current project in one form or another, be it bits of gameplay from etc server or whatever have ya.
I rarely work outside of my own projects however I do offer helpful information to other communities from time to time.
In 2013 I had some pretty good success with a server on a network though it did not last long as I was forced to change hosts when they downsized the network and cut off a bunch of games due to a dwindling playerbase.
I have bounced around from server to server helping out where I could while working on my own twist on an apocalypse type gamemode.
I have worked on my custom gamemode for almost 3-4 years now. It has changed form and shape several times over the years as I learn more and access newer and better resources.

I put a considerable amount of time into my work. anywhere from 12-16 hours most days on minecraft trying to make something I believe should be out there.

I am skilled in the following plugins:
- All basic plugins at or around the complexity of essentials
- All basic permissions systems Such as PEX, GroupManager, and Bpermissions. (And others too if they follow the same concept)
- Scripting plugins such as Denizen, Skript, and MythicMobs

My servers end up containing around 100 or so plugins and the designs do indeed get very complex and detailed.

My weakest point is building. I am not a builder of any sort and I do not relish placing blocks so yes I use downloaded maps in a lot of my projects. Not too popular ones but ones that complement the gameplay of the server I happen to be developing.

My strengths are in designing weapons, monsters, utilities, and other fun and useful gameplay mechanics

I can spend years inside a MythicMobs config and not even notice it.
I love creating wonderful custom weapons in crackshot and I have a blast controlling literally every aspect of my server with the combination of all these cool plugins and the best part is i dont even need to know a single bit of Java to do it.

Which saves me LOADS of time learning JAVA tutorials and testing out my plugins until they get on par with what is already out there.
And instead I focus on the straight up gameplay from day 1.
My game is not exactly popular anymore nor is it well known or even barely advertised at this point.
Few people know about it and I want it to be absolutely impressive for our networks launch.
But while I would love to start blasting away bugs and fixing up poorly planned things here and there. I have a network load of work to do.

Now I want to clarify. At this point the network is mostly set up.
I have done most of the ground work alongside precious few others and have 7 somewhat stable games up alongside my personal one.

I have been able to keep my own server online despite being homeless running it out of a van in a walmart parking lot off of a power inverter I threw on my vans battery.
If that doesnt show dedication. I have no idea what will. Every project I put time and money to is extremely precious to me and I know that I want to make a successful network. And the only way I can do that is by hiring people that share this ambition with me.

I have not done too much moderating or Administration, but I know that on a successful server the playerbase is the top of the food chain. And everything must be handled without bias or attitude. (Even if I have to bite my toungue off)

I would go more in depth about the communities I am part of but tbh I don't want them involved here.

If you want viable evidence that I know what I am doing and want proof of work. Feel free to add my skype and I will give you a small tour.

I am not looking for opinions on it. I want to know if you personally can operate at the level we are looking for. If so great. Then we may hire you. Others are free to come back and check out its progress at any time. The servers go through rapid changes so chances are you will see an awesome change log every week


The plugins that I would like for my applicants to be knowledgable in are anything at or below the complexity of ZQuest.
If you can use that plugin. Chances are you can use other plugins like it or simpler.

Though if you have profound experience in a particular department I am all ears. Only thing I need is proof. Such as. A live demonstration or simply credible photos of your tags on servers that you specifically mention.

Good thing we didn't get around to that because you just split.
I didn't just split. I gave you a perfectly valid reason for leaving.
You knew going in that Im not going to be a nice guy until I can trust you.
I specifically said that.
Also why are you grouping in the owner with me? Hes not a dick like me
And on top of that he has never even gotten the chance to talk to you.

So, what you are telling me is that the owner is making a bad decision by working with you. Therefore, why would anyone want to make a decision to work with you also? Furthermore, "I specifically said that," but no you did not. You actually seemed like a genuinely decent person until I didn't give you what you wanted. Minecraft is just a game, whether you make money or not from it, and you acting like your my big bad boss just makes no one want to associate or work with you, or should I say for you since there is no collaboration or togetherness at all in your intents.

Whats the point of defining maturity as the term for age? They are both different concepts, and therefore, everyone who is under the age of the required "16" shouldn't be defined as "immature, or unprofessional". I understand that you may disagree with me, but not all typical 13 - 16 year olds are stupid with no sense of maturity and professionalism.

I did specifically state that

I am not going to be your buddy Dante until you can prove you aren't going to waste my time. I WILL be a hard ass and I WILL NOT go easy on you until you have earned my trust.
And guess what. When someone is paying you for a service. They are your boss. It may only be while you are on my equipment but I am your boss none the less. Just like My boss is the owner. If I don't like what he says I shut my trap about it until I have time to make a suggestion. If my suggestion isnt what he wants then BAM i don't give him a hard time about it.
I also specifically stated I want people that understand chain of command. Apparently that isn't you.

Me being a nice person happens when Things get done. You not only wasted your time by contacting us but you also wasted my time by having me send you a list of things I wanted done in factions. Then you left.

As for the owner making a bad decision by hiring me. That is laughable. Because uneducated people like you would try to take advantage of him and leave him high and dry when he needs help as is the case here.
I am available at almost all times. And have been working on his network non stop since I started on it 4 months ago. Where as you couldn't even last 4 hours.

I mean seriously. Why would you even apply if you didn't know if you'd have the time to actually do it? Knowing that I hate my time being wasted. I believe you did it just to spite me and I think that goes to show yet again that I have to sift harder through immature people.
Your genuine reason is just your word. which is pretty much non credible to me because I dont know you. For all we know you could've literally just not been able to do what we asked and wanted an exit. You got our hopes up and then ditched us on day 1. So your word is nothing to me now. Besides. I bet you'll still be here on McM still selling services despite your new schedule.


As for minecraft just being a game. Tis true, but then again. Why are you here selling services and trying to get money if its "Just a game"?
That mind set right there would have been enough to get you thrown off my network. I don't want people that think "Oh its just a game. Ill do what i want, I have no boss lol"

I want people that are willing to go the extra mile and in return make money.


As for people under 16. Sorry if you feel you are mature enough, but I stand by my 16+ rule.

I am not looking for a swarm of applicants either. I know very well that there are few people out there that fit the bill. May take weeks but someone will come along eventually. In the mean time I'm going to continue my work. Have fun

I also don't want this thread spinning out into a slander war.

If you can help please add my skype. If not please dont bother replying.

I wasn't on your equipment, you did not pay me, and therefore you are not my boss. Essentially, seeing as what you gave me to work with, you wanted me to build the Factions on my own and then give it to you. Therefore, I would have been volunteering my time until I gave you the product.
As for the owner making a bad decision by hiring me. That is laughable. Because undedicated people like you would try to take advantage of him and leave him high and dry when he needs help as is the case here.
1. I am not uneducated (I can actually spell the word).
2. It isn't very laughable when you present yourself and him in this very unprofessional maneer.
3. I did not try to take advantage nor leave you high and dry. You left me before I was going to give you a good reference for someone else I thought could do the work.
I bet you'll still be here on McM still selling services despite your new schedule.
Doing a graphic or basic service that I offer takes about 2 hours to 1 day. I even told you guys that I felt that I could not give you the time you needed, which was way more than this.

I thought you had a boss, and it was his network? Also, selling my services for some quick cash is exactly what I have done and will continue to do. I have never looked at it as more than a game, but then I also try not to spend every waking moment like yourself on the game.
I also don't want this thread spinning out into a slander war.
If you do not want this, which I do not either, how about you not try to slander me? Saying things like me providing other services is slander, and you should not do it especially if you do not expect the same.

I gave you a very clear and honest reason for leaving, and you try to act like I could not do the work? How do you view that and not see the slander? I can do exactly what you wanted, but I do not have the time to do it all. I definitely would not do it now even if I had the time based off of your attitude alone. Your boss should fire you and do the work himself in finding someone since you have really severed his server's chances of finding someone to work for him.
I am available at almost all times. And have been working on his network non stop since I started on it 4 months ago. Where as you couldn't even last 4 hours.
Just wanted to make another notice for others about the obvious slander. This guy is highly unprofessional and seems to not be able to get his head out of his own ass. Here is a perfect example of a kid who thinks everyone on MCM owes him something when he in return has given nothing.

Alright look. I left a lengthy retort to your points and whatnot. But that isn't going to solve anything. So instead lets just be men about this and go our separate ways. It means a lot to me to have reliable and dependable help. Yeah I probably shouldn't have acted the way I did. And for that I apologize.

I have a short fuse when it comes to wasting time and I blew up.
Threw some anger out that you probably didn't deserve.
I am not a mindless sociopath that doesn't give a crap about other people.
I have told you what we have been through. If that isn't enough to make you mad as well then your patience far outstretches my own.

All I want is someone that I can rely on to fix what needs to be fixed. In truth the person we do decide to hire may very well be alone in their work. I would love to assist them, but I have several duties that I must perform. And it is a lot of pressure to take on. Which is why I am offering this job to begin with. My work load is intense as it is and being neglected the help I was hoping to obtain made me blow my fuse.

Yea I knew you were going to say that and I thought the same thing when I was your age too. You don't know what you don't know and there is more to maturity than using correct grammar, etc. I don't want to clog up this thread so if you want to pm me to discuss, feel free to.
Correct grammar doesn't define maturity, I know people that are older than 16 and don't use correct grammar, and I know people under 16 that are more mature than many people older than them.

SirSnapple, you say in the title you are looking for Java Developers, how are you paying?

Payment method can be discussed if paypal will not suffice.
If we need a custom plugin done full payment will be made after we see it in action. We can do partial payment up front if you have great vouches. Payment per plugin until we grow enough to do monthly payments for service.
