Minecraft username: John Crichton

Real name (recommended): Jason Valentine....my rank used to be Major in Civil Air Patrol...you can imagine the jokes.

Age: Half a century

Location: Somewhere out in the middle of a cow pasture in Wisconsin

How long have you been playing on THIS server?: Since December of last year.

How often do you plan on being on THIS server?: Until Pax and Mad decide my meds aren't working and ban me for drooling, muttering and walking around in circles.

Have you voted for Oasis at www.bit.ly/oasisv ?: As often as my old and decrepit mind allows.

Name any JrMods, Mods or Admins who would vouch for you (This means you actually have to ask them): Well, so far the ones whose checks cleared were Revilo410, and Nico_Dubai,Fithboy

Why do you deserve Veteran status? What sets you apart from the other Trusted players?: I played for 6 months, devoting time and effort to another server prior this one. I tried to help. You purchased ranks and advantages instead of earning them, there was no chat moderation and essentially the stronger players ate the weaker. I was underwhelmed and disappointed. And wrote it off as a learned experience and left. Took another 6 months when I was looking for a server with the mini-game Oasis...and found you wonderful lunatics. I have no intention of leaving this server for another nor playing anywhere else. I admire the respect that is fostered, the help that is offered to those who need it, the advice in chat and most of all the camaraderie.
Also,people are encouraged to follow the rules, which promotes a flourishing culture.
I recognize this, I would like to help it continue. I would like to do more than just putz around. My job makes it difficult to find time to be in Oasis as much as I would like. But the time I would put in, would be devoted to to whatever job the server needs done.
I would like to help maintain Warp Warp, which is important for new players. I am slowly fiddlyfarting around with my own builds..which I hope will benefit the server someday soon.
I'd like to step up my game.
