What time of day would you be most available to run events? (Please also specify a timezone):
Weekdays: after 4 pm. Can be on for 1 to 3 (sometimes 4) hours.
Weekends: Any time after 1 pm , can be on for quite some hours, although I usually stay on the most after midnight. (often stay on till 2- 7 in the morning. ) Basically saying, I'll attempt (or simply will be) to be on at the times I am needed, on and ready before event starts, and present till the end. ( this is very inaccurate, my time scheduled is always changing. Simply won't be the same from one day to another. Days I'll be on more and others not at all. I, however, won't fail to be on time if something is planned.)
(Eastern Time zone)
How many hours per week do you play (average)? How long have you been in Minetown?:
1 to 3 hours weekdays + many hours weekends. Basically around: 15, 20 and more hours. It can happen to be less on certain weeks. (Been quite a bit less lately though I'm present on the computer just as long, I could still log in anytime.)
I've only been on Minetown for a few months, but I intend to stick around.
Do you have any close friends in Minetown?:
People I actually know: Hirobian and Vix_sparda
Though I've many friends made in Minetown that are dear to me: Leron, Raven, Dimbulb... and others <object class="emojione" data="

What kind of events would you specialize in?:
I would like to vary what I do, but I specialize in artistic events of many types.
What ideas do you have for future events (Give details and features you will use)?:
Here is one example: Holes. Idea based on the movie "Holes"! <object class="emojione" data="

I was thinking of hiding many chests in a VERY LARGE area of dirt/sand or other. Only very few would have actual value. The point would be finding the chests of value, by using the hints in the many other chests that would be easier to find. There could be one very last chest with a special something in it to indicated that this is the top place winner, who will get the best prize. I was thinking I could make a rule that the holes would obligatorily be a certain with and deepness. Also has to be a distance apart to keep the place clean for the participants to play well. In the dirt, along with the chests, would be traps and mini puzzles to get other hints. I was hoping to have this with many winners in different ways so all can have gained something for the fun of it, the event would be less gloomy to those who had a harder time.
Second Idea ( not extremely sure on this one but I will pitch it in anyway )
Water slides:
This will be done In a VERY HIGH area. The point would be using a bucket of water as your means of getting through some type of puzzle. Basically, you will be using your created waterfalls to get in and out of dead ends, traps and any other obstacle as you must keep going down lower and lower till you reach the bottom. I suppose we could state the 3 first players to reach the bottom safe and sound as winners. I was also thinking, possibly, to make this more tricky, all players who still reach the bottom (even with the 3 winners found) can obtain a special prize. They could only get this, if they find a special object set for this, and bring one with them to the bottom. Even the three winners can have this prize if they got the object. There for, this is a prize all can have no matter what.
In short, this would be a type of parkour but using water as your means of transportation and puzzle/problem solving.
I would set straight rules for every participant so both these events remain fair. Basically the basic rules for most events like no cheating. Nothing serious, I want to keep the game as fun and free as can be <object class="emojione" data="

(these are two Ideas a came up with :3)
In future events, I would love to run more Pixel arts, I didn't mention this since there are a few going on right now.
(Of course, I will still be coming up with more ideas, but these are the two I decided on sharing )
Have you ever participated (in) or ran any official/unofficial events? Please tell us what you did and how it went:
I have participated in a few events, I loved the pixel art ones, they are very amusing. I don't recall of any unofficial events but I hope to participate in Ravens' upcoming events(and whoever is helping her with them, I can't quite recall.)
I have not run any events myself yet, I would love to, however.
The event that didn't go so well when I participated in it, was simply a jumping parkour... I suppose I'm simply not great with jumping myself.. xD
Do you have any experience hosting events?:
As I haven't hosted any myself, I suppose I can't say I've had experience. Although, I pay attention when others do events, making me learn from them. I hope to learn more.
Tell us about your experience in some of the plugins we use (WorldEdit, WorldGuard, CraftBook, ServerSigns, ToggleableAreas etc.):
Unfortunately, I have never used the plugins before. :/ But I am always up for learning how to do so if it is asked of me.
What do you think the hardest part of making and hosting events is?:
I believe a hard part might be coming up with building parkours (for parkour events) that are fun for the players at the same time as being doable. This most likely takes a lot of time. But I think that one of the hardest things could be keeping the game fun in an orderly with the participants, It could sometimes be difficult .
Why do you think you are a better person than other applicants?:
I don't think that I am a better person then the other applicants.
I would love to be chosen, however I believe that everyone's most likely very good. They might have different specialties, or maybe explain themselves less well with they're choice of words but that wouldn't make them any lesser depending on what they are needed to do. <object class="emojione" data="

If this question was to demand my abilities XD then I would haft to say I am a very creative person, I enjoy having people try out things I've done for them, the prizes I give out is something that makes me happy to do. I would put in a lot of time and effort into this for others whether they will or will not participate, At least I will have gave them an event to do. Hopefully they will want to.
Why do you consider Event staff over Moderation staff?:
My main reason for applying is because I like the events and would love to run some myself too.
A few other reasons that gave me a push to apply is that there aren't many event staff so I've heard, and I thought it would be a nice thing if I did so. I felt I wanted to help out. <object class="emojione" data="
https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>
Also, I am underage to be a moderator, therefor I did not even consider this. I did consider BT but there were so many already, I thought maybe in the future when I have built more things that make me deem of a good builder xP
Quick! Think outside the box! Now what?!:
I am standing in the box and I'm trying to solve a puzzle to get out of it. Or I am outside the box and I am trying to solve a puzzle to get in... no? ok XD
Now simply because I'm not sure what exactly is demanded of me for this question, I'm going to blab about me, myself and I, and how I would include all in my events, those who wish to participate of course. I am planning (if accepted of course) to variate the the of events I do so they aren't always too similar which can be a bore. I believe we need events on regular basis, at least I thought I read that somewhere. But even so, I will attempt to create a good amount, with a proper amount of time between them. I would like to leave the other staff be able to set their own events too, so I don't want to over do it either.
Do you have Skype, and can you use it for regular communication?:
I do have skype, I can use it for regular communication <object class="emojione" data="

Tell us about yourself!:
I must seem very unprofessional xD I'm using to many smileys! <object class="emojione" data="
https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object> , but what can I say I'm hyper O.o Really, I'm only overdoing it a little to prove my point xD
(I'm done, I'm done!)
Besides that....
I'm not sure how much I can keep pushing on the "I'm creative". This is the one thing I will forever say about myself. But I will add that I am pretty stubborn, therefore I will continue events I've began and finish them. I enjoy playing minecraft, talking to people and being there to help when needed.
The next information is a little irrelevant but I'm afraid I've run out of pertinent points that would be important for events. However the question stated to tell you about me, and this is very true, and is the simplest thing I could state: I'm totally bilingual (French and English) So if we ever happen to get french players on Minetown then I can be glad to help them out <object class="emojione" data="
