1. Minecraft IGN / Age: Jonsoon, 25.

2. Position applying for: Balance Team (implementer or tester): Visionary, and implementing new features.

3. How long have you been on Herocraft?: Over six years.

4. What's your favorite class/path?: Predominately in past maps I have been a Wizard/Merchant combo. Proven successful in many maps, I had a large hold of the economy. As recent as Bastion, I have found joy and profit in the engineering profession when I saw merchanting decline, and am still an engineer to this day.

5. How often and in what timezone can you test?: I am currently outside of North America and residing in Australia, (+10 AEST, specifically)

6. What sets you apart from other members applying for this team?: I have played Herocraft since Sanctuary, though the first map I made a real appearence and impact was on Dragonguard when I started my diamond shops outside of MAs. This gave me capital to buy goods from MAs to resell, and purchase more diamonds for MAs; buying stacks of blocks at a time from regular sellers! This was only the beginning as I started to open shops on behalf of others and pay them a cut for my services. Maps after DG I often found myself founding large supermarkets where you could find most items that you would ever need. If there was one you wanted and it was not there, ask and I would supply it! I was a manufacturer, distributor, supplier, seller, and any other middle man you could imagine.

While merchanting became stale, I decided to open a casino. I provided two different games; roulette, and slots. Roulette was a action filled, live game where even non participants could come watch. I built the contraption in a plot I bought in the spawn region of Bastion, and never really saw a profit. That wasn't the point. The point was player interaction, and to act as an event. Often players would PM me asking if they could play, even if the casino was not open.

7. Do you have any similar experience?: I have held this position before, as well as many others.

8. Do you understand this team is for balancing current skills only?: Sure, if that's what you want to call balance. There are complete other dimensions to balancing the server, which is what this team should be.

9. Can you follow directions from a team lead, no matter what they ask?: I get feisty at times. Though this team seems predominately combat related, which is why I am applying (again)

10. Additional info you would like to tell us?: I love Herocraft, honestly. Sometimes I think its weird how much I do. I was just out for a nice dinner with my girlfriend tonight and she asked me something basic about the server because she saw me playing again. I ended up on an hour rant of the state of the server and how player retention is low, and the lack of content to keep players coming back.

People, she actually told me to have fun making the server fun again. Did you hear that? My girlfriend, who I live with, wants me to help make Herocraft great again (I want to shoot myself for saying that).
