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

Mr.RiceNoodles - GFX-Designer

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.
