Ender’s Reintroduction (again)
My last introductions were really lame, and i said i would do this if i ever got promoted so here we are.The Basics:
Hello! Im Ender, and I'm a 15 year old boy and I live in California, USA. Ok, now that the boring bit is done, let's get into some more interesting parts.
My History On Cubecraft:
I joined cubecraft almost 6 years ago, after watching a youtuber named PrestonPlays (at the time) playing Eggwars. I really loved to watch the game and just decided to join. I really liked egg wars but ended up falling in love with block wars and survival games. I played it a lot, and actually made a few friends (I know right, friends on the internet?). Sadly they were all banned :/
I ended up playing a lot of Blockwars Survival Games and Eggwars. And eventually ended up playing an egg wars game with Preston, which was really cool, and got me my first win! (10 year old me was not a pvp master). I played on and off for a few years, taking some breaks and doing other things, until 2018.
Then The Big Change Happened. And my two favorite games were removed, so I stopped playing, and did not come back until the beginning of 2020.
Like a lot of people at the beginning of 2020 I came back to cubecraft. And I really got into the forums. My first ever post (How is this NOT an Achievement???) really helped me decide to continue with forums as it got some attention. And motivated me to continue, I have always loved coming up with ideas and just creative writing in general (not for school because that writing sucks). But I fell in love with the forums because it is such a welcoming and kind environment, that rewards those who put time and effort into their posts.
I started off on the forums making pretty low effort posts but then i discovered map submissions, My first submission was a minerware map ([MinerWare] Ruins) and even tho it was denied I am still really proud of it, and this map kickstarted my love for these submissions, after this i built or was part of building 10 more maps! [Team Eggwars] Toxic Was by far my favorite map that i built myself, although it had a camping problem it was my first map to get a lot of attention, i ended up with over 50 votes for the map to be added, which is still amazing and i am extremely proud of it. And finally, https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/ffa-✈%EF%B8%8F-military-base-🗺%EF%B8%8F.266836/ This map i made with @Axyy @Ben5124 @_The13thDoctor_ and @Rawrbin. This is no question the coolest map I have ever built and stands as one of my favorite builds ever, I also got to know a bunch of people while we worked and it was just an amazing experience.
And finally Suggestions, in my few months on the forums i have made around 50 suggestion threads. I always liked the forums because of the amazing suggestions I saw, but never even thought I could do something like that. But i eventually decided that i was going to put a huge amount of effort into a suggestion, and it turned out to be one of my favorite things i have done on the forums. I have been really disappointed to see that tower defense has really been ignored for so many years, and this thread was my idea to do something about it, i gathered as many community suggestions as i could and this thread (Tower Defense Needs an Update, And This is What The Community Wants to See) Ended up gaining over 30 likes and was Escalated, which was just amazing and honestly this was one of my favorite projects i have done here. So lets hope there is a tower defense update soon xD
My Journey to Helper:
I will start off by saying my journey to helper isn't nearly as interesting as some other peoples, but I guess it's a decently sized part of my time on forums. My first attempt, like a good heplur wannabe was my second post ever, and very surprisingly i was denied for a lack of activity xD. So no surprise there, but then after my waiting period ended I reapplied again, this application was open for almost 4 months, and during that time I really got to know the community and honestly forgot about my application. This was when I started getting into the discord and making map submissions, as well as trying out reports. But that would only put us in May. So yeah, I got denied again. But I had kinda forgotten about the application and wasn't really disappointed, as I was starting to become a part of the forums and really was enjoying my time there. Looking back, being denied there was one of the best things that could have happened to me, and I am seriously grateful for how everything played out because this encouraged me to keep working and stay in the community. And finally I applied for a third and final time, I continued in the forums, and then on December 1st I was accepted as a Helper.
