Hi, before I apply, I'd like to ask about your quarry and turtle restriction. I'd also like to ask about plugins, resets, and chunk loading.
How limited are quarries and turtles? What if I had multiple turtles, but not for mining (turtles can be used as a lag-free timer, wood farms, tree-tap farms, mob spawn killers). Maybe one or two mining turtles, but not for quarrying. They're useful if I want to mine out a new room for a farm, since I tend to build underground.
I'll definitely have a quarry. I planned to place one in the Nether, End, and Overworld. Would this throw a wrench into my plans? If so, I'll probably be able to deal, netherrack and endstone aren't all too important to me as the ores one can find in the Overworld, though the sheldonite ore is quite useful.
Is chunk-loading restricted? I was just going to put a single chunk loader (chickenchunks) in the center of my base. It's not going to load many chunks, just the sorting system to pair with the quarry, maybe a mob spawner and my power sources.
If you were to reset, how often would this happen? Every update? Resets are the most annoying thing I have come across. It's sometimes necessary, but if there's no new important ores, then there's no need for a reset. For the "everyone will be even" argument, my rebuttal is that it will never be equal, the only limited item in the endless world of Minecraft is the Enderdragon egg. And many people don't have a use for it (though it is good for the Ender Bees and the Egg Siphon).
And for plugins: Do you have those vanilla plugins? Have you gotten Bukkit to work? The only command I would ever really want is /home. It's just too useful, especially when portaling to someone's home and having a glitch come up when you try to return.
Also, I would like to point out that I am 16, but I assure you, I'll be mature. I've seen it firsthand, immature people can get everywhere, even whitelisted servers. If you would be so kind to accept my application (when I apply, of course), you may give me a trial period for x days and I'll show you I can keep up with the 18+ years of age members that are whitelisted, but before I post my application, I would like to see some answers to these questions, if you can answer them.
EDIT: After checking out the website and looking at other threads, I have answered some of my questions.
But are all turtles banned or just the mining ones? I'd like to have a melee turtle (due to them killing mobs efficiently and dropping XP).
How many chunks are we able to "chunk claim"? I tend to use a lot, but I will not claim anyone's home, or claim chunks I'm not using.
