Who are we?
Longshot is a pre-established network that has been running through trial and error for quite a few months. During this time of releasing servers and not succeeding, we ask for community feedback to act upon. After a long time of community based research we believe we have huge potential, and vouches to support that.
We will be releasing our project that we have been planning and creating for a couple of months. We have created a plan for every inch of what a server needs to become successful, since newly established networks with no previous community behind them to support new releases is much more difficult to start. Our project has not been rushed, and we have taken our time to perfect even the most minor details. We're excited to release what we have produced and if all goes to plan we believe we could be the next big server.


What supports our potentiality?

Longshot listens to the community and encourages them to speak up and have a vote in the way things are run, and what features should be added. We give everyone's opinion a chance and support people criticisms, since we take all criticisms as a way to build on our selves and help improve us. Longshot has team of competent members, people who are passionate and enjoy what they do. We are motivated to make the community enjoy themselves, to give them a place where they have fun and feel comfortable.
[ All of our content is also extremely high quality. ]



Have any more questions? You may directly message me here or on discord.

What are we looking for?
Since our next project is a factions server, we will be hosting a lot of events for, giveaways and hopefully grow the server to over 500+ players. We already have a large discord server, of which needs to be maintained. Therefore, we are looking for well knowledgeable and experienced in all factors ranging from: Professionalism (Handling things in a sensible manner, not getting angry at people who are asking questions etc.); Experienced with the basic commands, and how certain game modes run systematically; Being grammatically correct (This falls under professionalism, but deserves its own variable.); Being passionate about what you do, we are looking for individuals who take pride in staffing.; Have the ability to talk to people with confidence; Have leadership skills, and the ability to work will with others.

(( We are not looking for management, or senior administration. ))

Administration:
- Administration play a significant role on our servers, they create an infrastructure for the server that keeps the server well organised, they have an oversight of the staff team and will assist the management and ownership team with back-end work. They will be looked up to and be seen as motivators to the staff team, and will perform various tasks such as in-game events, giveaways and more. They will also be apart of recruitment of the staff team.

Senior Moderation:
- Senior moderators play the same role as moderators, but will need to mentor them where needed. Senior Moderators need communication skills, being able to host meetings and maintain a stable staff team. Senior moderators will also host community-based events, such as karaoke, or game-nights.

Moderators:
- The function of moderators is to enforce the rules of our servers, by moderating the chats on all of our platforms. You shall be looking for rule-breakers and execute punishments where needed.

Junior Moderation:
- Junior moderators play a very significant role in our servers, without them we would indeed struggle to occupy the players needs. Junior moderators keep the community safe and maintain a well balanced sense of order. The function of junior moderators is to assist users on across our platforms: In-game, Discord, and the forums. Junior moderators will assist moderators, whether that is by informing users when in the wrong or referral to a higher role if beyond their capabilities junior mods have big duties to act upon.

[!] Junior Moderators are technically helpers, but we changed the rank name due to a flaw in the hierarchy; meaning people feel more comfortable when talking with a higher member of the staff team.

Requirements
■ You must be 15 or above.
■ You must have access to a microphone.
■ Able to dedicate your time [ 2 hours daily ]
■ Be level headed, and none biased.
■ Compassionate, and professional.
■ Leadership skills, and being confident.

Note: All jobs are currently voluntary, meaning not paid.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Vouch for Longshot! I'm currently the senior administrator here and I would definitely recommend joining, even as a normal player.

Not only a vouch for Longshot, but my dude Vanished. The management team here has a extensive amount of previous experience and dedication. This server will be worth your time truly to the fullest. As of now, the staff role will apply to all servers we have.

Interesting that most every comment on this thread is from someone who claims to be staff. After some searching I was able to find the URL to log in (play.longshot.net if you are wondering as I was) and I logged in.

Immediately I was spawned into a wall and died. After I respawned, I was missing the "server selector" item and was out in the world. I thought what the heck and tried to break some grass, and I was able to. I broke down a couple of tress and started walking off into the world. I found a nice little valley and I dug a small house into the a wall and got my tools created, then I found some iron. It was at this point that I got bored and closed up the hole and logged out.

This server does not appear to be well set up at all, especially if something as simple as setting a world spawn was not done (I likely spawned into the default location which had a build schematic plopped in over it). I was never able to get back to whatever the hub area actually was so I cannot really comment on that.

Another interesting thing was the use of a nether star for the "server selector", which can be placed into a chest. Logging out and back in nets you another nether star. There is, from what I can tell, no limit to this. I didn't take the time to get some obsidian to make beacons, but I have no reason to assume that it would not work.

TL;DR: for a server with so many staff who claim to know what they are doing, they could stand to go back to the basics.

Unfortunately a few of your claims are wrong.
Regarding the hub issue, our plugin was using a license to enable.
That plugin was set inactive by the user who created it, and therefore making it incompatible to work on our server.
This core set up lots of things for us, including all of the world guards (meaning that you couldn't break anything, even with op).
Along side with hub-selecting. The server was well setup, before our core failed on us.

Regarding the nether star issue, that is a client side issue. As it seems only you have ever had this issue.

Also do take in to note, that this server is still in closed beta which if you did the research you said you had done, despite all the issues we had with our plugin; would be a could reason to conclude why the network is buggy.[DOUBLEPOST=1558423001][/DOUBLEPOST]

I have joined the server and have played for about an hour. It seems promising but it is just missing that oomph. It would be great if they added an envoy system or boss system where bosses spawn every hour on the hour or some engaging activities like that. But like I said it could still use some work but is on the right track.

Thanks for your feedback, Calbel.

I would like to point out that this is a closed beta, meaning this is an alpha stage of the server (not everything will be setup and fully complete). We already have the envoy system, and a dungeons system (which contains the bosses you mentioned).
