The Vortex Network


The Vortex Network is a Minecraft Server Network looking to bring the players the best possible server experience. The server is not yet created but we are in the preparation stage. We have the artwork, some of the builds, a plan for setting it up, and some setup finished. When the server is launched it will have many custom plugins/features, awesome staff, and 3 gamemodes. Those gamemodes will be Factions, Towny Survival, and OPPrison with much more to come. We plan on releasing the network on May 27th! Come join us! If you are interested in helping start an amazing server network, then apply down below!

We are currently in the process of hiring staff. We already have 5 staff members, they are:
KingRaptor345 - Owner
PinkFolder - Sr.Mod
SirGregg - Lead-Developer
Mr.RiceNoodles - GFX-Designer
Studz - Head-Administrator
Katie - Administrator
Galaxq - Administrator
koko - Helper

We still have many ranks we need to fill. The ranks we absolutely need have a * next to them. The ranks we are looking for are listed below. I will explain them in detail below the list along with how many we have/need.

Staff-Manager (01)
Developer (0/2)
Graphic-Designer (1/1)
Systems-Administrator (1/1)
Administrator (Can rank up to Head-Admin) * (3/3)
Moderator (Can rank up to Sr. Mod) * (1/4)
Builder (Can rank up to Head-Builder) * (0/3)
Helper * (1/5)
Youtuber * (As many as possible)​

Staff Manager:
The staff manager will look after staff, host meetings, handle promotions and demotions, etc.

Developer:
The developer rank is just like it sounds. They will develop the server’s plugins and the website. They will do most of the behind the scenes work. Required to know Java and the Bukkit/Spigot API and also have experience using them. Also experience with HTML, CSS, PHP, JQuery, Python, and other languages help tremendously. Reports to the Lead-Dev. Will eventually be paid.

Graphic Designer: (Full)
These are the people who develop the artwork for the server. The artwork includes banners, logos, icons, backgrounds, themes, and whatever else we may need. Experience making artwork and also experience with either Photoshop or GIMP. Reports to the Lead-Dev. Will eventually be paid.

Administrator:
These are the main behind the scenes guys. They will be working on various jobs and doing mostly in-game work improving the server. They will also help any of the above ranks if needed, they will also watch over all of the below ranks and help train them. There is also much more. Experience with server administration is a must. One individual can possibly rank up to Head-Admin if you are very good at this rank.

Moderator:
These are the guys you will see and know the best. They are always in-game, scouting for hackers, monitoring the chat, and answering your questions. These are the people you will always go for help, after asking helpers. Experience in server moderation is a must. Must be friendly, easy-going, and very helpful. Can possibly rank up to Sr. Mod if you are very good at this rank.

Builder:
Builds the spawns, arenas, and prison mines, their work is the work you will see all around you. One individual can possibly rank up to Architect if you are very good at this rank. Must have experience using worldedit and building in Minecraft.

Helper:
This is the lowest rank, if you are applying via the server, this is the rank you would start out as. They are the first person you go to when you want to ask a question or get support. No experience is required, you just need to be friendly, helpful, and easy going.

Youtuber:
The youtuber rank is a special rank. To get this rank you need to have at least 100 subs and high view count. Please PM me if you are interested in this rank as it has a completely different application with only 3 questions. Will be paid per video.

Also, once a player has been ranked up to Moderator, they may choose which team they prefer. If they prefer not to be on any team, they don’t have to. They will give their top 3 choices and whichever one needs a member most, they will join. There are many teams that have different tasks and abilities. For an example, the media team are the ones who manage the server’s artwork, public relations, and social media accounts.

Now, for the part you have been waiting for, the application. All ranks administrator and below apply using the following format. The ranks above administrator must PM me here for instructions to proceed to skype and a custom application. There are also some requirements to be staff. You must be at least 13 years of age, you must have skype and be able to call, and you must be able to be online/call at least 2 hours a day. Copy and paste the following application format into your reply and answer the questions!

Thanks, I forgot to add that. The youtuber rank is paid per video and once we start getting a steady stream of donations the graphic designer and the developer will be paid. Then after they start getting paid we will start considering builders being paid.

Timezone:UTC +1:00 (Central European Timezone)

Rank:Moderator

Do you have any experience in this position, if so, where?
For two years I moderated a Server which sadly went down, due to the lack of players. At the time, i was quickly promoted to Sr. due to my Activity, also in the night, as I am not in an american Time zone.

Why should you be staff on The Vortex Network?
I think I should be staff, because I am familiar with the Position. I know Hacks when I see them, and always have an Eye on chat. Also, I always try to see both sides of the conflict or whatever, and try to find a solution that is suitable for both although still within the rules.

How often can you play and how long a day?
I play every day, and in the Timezone UTC+1:00 I have online times of 4-8 hours each day.

Basic overview of your skills:
I know all basics, as well as World Edit Commands. I am not bad at building, althogh This is not a house, but for example a map for gamemodes such as BedWars or SkyWars.

About Yourself:
My Name is Piers, 17 Years old. I play many video games, including minecraft. Love to read, and am quite into Model Airplanes. Not so much about me really...

Anything else?
Not really? ;-) I have lots of experience in a large variety of Hacks, making me able to differentiate between Hacks and good Players.

Thanks :)

Intro: Thank you for taking your time to read my application. I know that it is not 100% perfect, but I tried. Have a great day!

Age:
As of now, I am 15 years old. In my opinion, I am mature for my age. At times, I do like having fun, but I know when I shouldn’t fool around.

IGN:
Currently, my username is Clutchyy. This IGN originated from my second IGN, "Clutchjoyride". My list of usernames is very small, although.

Skype: itsyaboyclutchyy

Timezone: (UTC-06:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Rank:
Moderator/Helper (Whatever you think would be best)

Do you have any experience in this position, if so, where?

I’ve been in a moderation positon on multiple servers, but I don’t have proof of this due to the servers going down, or me having 100% no way to prove it.

MysticNetwork - It was an old server that a friend was working on and I applied on there. I then got accepted, and started out as a Trial-Mod, then to Moderator, then to Head-Mod, then to an Administration position. I stayed on there for about 4 months until the server went down due to issues with the owner.

BeaverCraft (Something like that) - I started out as a moderator, then Sr. Mod, then Administrator. That server went down around 3 years ago and I never heard from the owner again.

Voxel - Started off as a Helper, then to Moderator, then went to an Administrator position. The server recently went down due to a co-owner deleting the FTP files causing the server to be deleted. I was blamed for the incident, although I did not do it.

YetiPvP - Currently, I am a helper on this server.

There’s other servers that I have been in other staff positions on, but I wasn’t a moderator or helper on any of them.


Why should you be staff on The Vortex Network?
After reading a bit about this server, it seems fantastic. Since I’m skilled at catching hackers, I feel that I would be a great addition to factions. I stick to what the rules say, and I always get my work done on time. Anything that I am asked to do, will be done in a timely matter. Also, I’m never biased against players. I always get both sides of the story before proceeding with any punishments.

How often can you play and how long a day?
Here’s a rough estimate of the time I can provide.

(My time)


Weekdays: 5:30pm - 7:00pm

Weekends: 2:30pm - 5:00pm

Basic overview of your skills:

Catching hackers - When it comes to hackers, I’m pretty good in my opinion. I’ve been pvping for around 2 years now and I very rarely mistake a hacker for someone who is lagging, or is just really good. I always have OBS open and ready to use.

Fast typer - This would come in handy when it comes to people spamming, advertising, swearing, etc.. I average around 85 words per minute with little to no mistakes.

Experience - I know which situations I can handle, and which situations I should report to a higher staff member. I always try to memorize a majority of the rules, as well.

Learn from mistakes - If I make a mistake once, I will not make the same mistake again.

About Yourself:
My name is Trever. I’ve been playing minecraft for about 4 years, but I stopped playing for about 6 months. I started again in late 2015 when I got my new computer and that’s when I started pvping. I used to be a very toxic player but I took a 2 month break in December and I’ve changed my ways.

Anything else?
Even though I have and use skype, I prefer discord due to the cleaner GUI, the better quality voice chats, and the overall easiness to use. I also have TeamSpeak if that is needed.
If you have any sort of questions, feel free to pm me on here, or on skype.

Rank: Moderator

Do you have any experience in this position, if so, where? I have been helper on two successful SkyBlock servers. The first one, Faded SkyBlock, I joined back in 2015 and left in early 2016. On there, I learned how to help players best and how to handle problems, as well as delicate situations. I remained helper for several months then I left because I thought the server was heading downhill due to inactivity of others. Soon after that, In the summer of 2016, I joined another SkyBlock server called Modern Skyblock. I had some great experiences on there as a helper. Having the experience from the last SkyBlock server on there was helpful and I did pretty well as a helper. However, I am no longer on either of those servers. On both servers, I was never reported in any negative ways by players.
Why should you be staff on The Vortex Network?
I am very active on Minecraft, I'm very flexible at the moment. I can learn most gamemodes and be able to help others with them quickly. I can catch usage of most commonly used hacked clients. I am easy to get along with, and I am patient and respectful of others. When a problem arises, I'll know a good way to get it sorted out. I always try to give players a 'warm fuzzy' feeling when talking to them. I always try to put myself in other people's situation before having to make an important decision. I think I could be a real asset to the network.
How often can you play and how long a day?
I am just about always able to come online and will be online voluntarily at least an hour per day. From 9:30am to 10:30pm, I am able to be online most days of the week. Occasionally, there will be a day or two on the weekend where I won't be able to come online because of family matters. My school work is easy to manage with and extremely rarely gets in the way.
Basic overview of your skills:
I am a well experienced helper/moderator. I know how to use all common MineCraft plugins. I am also a professional builder for Team Prismarine. I have access to an alternative account if I ever need one. If an important/delicate situation comes up, I'll be sure to respectfully hand it over to higher ranked staff member. I understand the importance of prioritizing decisions.
About Yourself: I try to be well-organized, respectful, loyal, and easy-going. I've never been one to make wild accusations or dislike a person for an individual reason. I like to be someone you can get along with easily. For the 4 years that I've been players Minecraft, it's been one of my favorite things to do despite everything that's happened to me in the game and all the changes that have been made to it over that time.

Anything else? Thank you for reading this, I hope to hear back from you soon.

When you say developers will eventually be paid, are we to assume you mean "once the server is set up"? Because that isn't enough of a guarantee to draw most people. If you don't have the money to be able to pay a developer up front, then odds are most devs aren't going to want to invest their time in your project, not without some sort of guarantee that they'll get paid. If the server goes nowhere, then you'll most likely have no money to pay said dev, and they end up however many hours of work up the creek, and without a dollar to paddle with.

Eventually as in once we start getting steady donations. And we already have 5 devs who have applied..
