Youtuber query - how to get vip?

[X920MikeyB]

Hello,

I have been playing mcsg for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it. I have recorded some games and will be processing and uploading the videos. I will then continue making more videos as I play! I will be uploading both wins and losses along with epic moments of bizarre deaths and amazing fights.

This is just a query as to how I apply to VIP once I have uploaded videos, etc. Are there any requirements? I have seen other you tubers on the server with VIP which is why I am curious as to whether I can get it? Also what benefits do VIP get? Join priority? Vote weight? Other?

Many thanks,

X920MikeyB

There are very few ways to get VIP.
One of them is by making a map that gets added onto MCSG, which is why so many people have MCSG.
The other is be an extremely famous youtuber (I think 10 000-20 000+ subs) and actively make videos on the MCSG servers.
Asking for VIP will probably reduce your chances of getting it though.
As a VIP you get to kick someone of lower rank than you (which I believe is all the donor ranks, but not staff ranks) to join a server, you might get to disguise as a rank below yours to avoid targeting when it's fixed (really not sure about that) and you get 2 votes when you vote on a map, like an iron donor.

This is true, provided your map is accepted and put on the MCSG servers.

The other is be an extremely famous youtuber (I think 10 000-20 000+ subs) and actively make videos on the MCSG servers.

Being a famous YouTuber has nothing to do with being granted VIP status. Being active in the community i.e. being active on the forums, reporting hackers, being active on the servers, and having a dedicated youtube fan base are some of the ways that you could be granted VIP. Please keep in mind that the Owner, Chadthedj, is the only one who gives VIP status and it is rarely granted.

Hi! Thanks for all the replies, they are helpful.

It was only a query as I was curious as I am kind of new to mcsg it was just something I was interested in.

I will be doing my video recordings / youtube video's as this is something I want to do myself and I've seen "purple" tagged names around and gathered from a few other players that VIP could be granted through being a youtuber which is why I asked as a good popular youtube channel will bring in more players for MCSG hopefully! But there are also a lot of youtubers out there so I also agree on this factor alone, VIP should not be handed out so freely.

As I'm gathering video's for my youtube, sadly but also fortunately I have gathered various evidence of players using hacks. It's quite shocking as to the number of players abusing something which is free, which is what irritates me more. But regardless of if they play for free, contribute or not, they should not be hacking. So as TPH_Toxin kindly explained.

I'm active on the servers I'm on pretty much every day in my spare time (I have a fair bit of it, but also moving in around 3-4 weeks so yeah!)

Forums! Signed up yesterday to send in the report of a hacker. So this is something that I will be doing if needbe on a daily basis (Hopefully not! As I hope once they start being banned, it will thin out so that whilst we may not be able to stop ALL hackers... together we can thin them out so that they are very few and far between...)

So yeah, hopefully if I stick around long enough and ChadTheDJ or some others see that my interests are purely for good and a great portal of servers, then I may be honoured with the title of VIP. My main reason for enquiring was of course that it would benefit me and the server greatly, especially if I'm able to get on to a server without having to try 5 or 6 different ones due to them being full, etc. It would help in the long run for both my Youtube video's and the capturing of hackers.

I was pondering applying for Mod or something of a similar rank, but at the moment I think I'll focus on my Youtube and moving. Maybe after I've moved, if I have enough spare time to dedicate I might consider applying. Not sure yet.

Regarding maps! I am working on some Survival Game maps, however they *hopefully* will be of a high enough quality and calibre that I will attempt to auction these off. If this is something MCSG would be interested in then I will provide information closer to them time when map(s) are complete

TL;DR - Thanks for the replies! I'll be working on my Youtube anyways, being active on the servers (as I already are!) and active on the forums, as from yesterday... and reporting hackers and nuisance players (Got a lot of recordings to go through!)

See you ingame hopefully! Goodluck You'll need it!

P.S. - Finanacially I am unable to contribute to mcsg however advert wise, ie: youtube. I am able to contribute more also help out by reporting hackers and others alike!

I think they changed it, because I was playing with a VIP a little while ago (might have just been a friend, that's more likely but I remember it being a VIP) and he said he had 2 votes, or at least not 5. It might have been 4 though or something

It was 3, I asked Spike.

 

[X920MikeyB]

yup! Winning is just a bonus lol. Points are over rated I normally sponsor them away or bounty lol. But I really do like the server(s) to be honest. Very enjoyable.

Are you seriously building a map just for vip? ._.

Are you seriously building a map just for vip? ._.

Did you seriously just ask that?

Lol, go read my post ... I'm already working on map(s). It/they wont be handed over for Free/VIP either, once my map(s) are done they will be auctioned off, highest bidder will get the map for their server (As in, real cash for my work) - My only real query for VIP was to be able to connect to servers easier to help with my youtube recording and also catching hackers
Not being horrible but, please read and understand a post

TL;DR? - I'll quote the bit from my original message.

Regarding maps! I am working on some Survival Game maps, however they *hopefully* will be of a high enough quality and calibre that I will attempt to auction these off. If this is something MCSG would be interested in then I will provide information closer to them time when map(s) are complete

No where here do I mention mapping purely for the sole purpose of VIP. My mappings of a high enough calibre to sell my maps
