The rule that you can't have an Apricorn Farm is pretty new. Due to that, I keep finding lots of old and new Farms. So, I think there should be a team of players who explore the server looking for Apricorn Farms, Getting rid of them, and Telling the Farm Owner (if online) that they aren't supposed to do that. This job shouldn't be to hard to get but should be taken seriously. It would also be a good way for a player to prove that he could be a Gym Leader or a Staff Member or something like that. It could also be a great opportunity to get the news out that it's against the rules. I personally think that it would be really fun to be a "ApriHunter" and I think it's a great idea.
Fyi, ApriHunters is just the first thing that popped into my head, but you don't have to call them that. However......it does sound pretty cool. You could do a Poll for the name or something. Tell me what you think! I think it could be really fun, and a neat addition to the server. I'm pretty confident that this could really work out! Thanks for Reading!
P.S. I'm not sure where to post this at, so if I need to move it, tell me where and I will!

In my personal opinion, there is no real need for that. Loads of players roam the world, and occasionally find apricorn tree farms. If anyone wants to help locate apricorn tree farms, then they can just do it. Why does there have to be an entire rank just to do that? Instead, informing potential tree planters about how the trees produce lag is a much better idea, and is less work.

Instead, informing potential tree planters about how the trees produce lag is a much better idea, and is less work. Mabye, but it would be more FUN to have it as a job title. You know, to add a little bit of an RP aspect to the server. Sure, we don't NEED it, but it would be more fun if we had it. That's what this server is about right? That's the point of the game! Having fun! If you don't like it, that's fine, but I won't be covinced that it isn't a good idea until Mason says so. You also said "If anyone wants to help, they can just do it" but don't you think people would be more ENCOURAGED to "Just do it" if it was their job? I know I would. It's all about feeling important, more people would play on the server if they felt important, trust me. This is a great way to make someone feel important and special, and who knows? You might find someone who would be a great Staff Member or Gym Leader or....I don't know.... Co-Owner? Maybe even just a good friend. It's not completely about the Apricorns. It's about fun, it's about feeling important, it's about the players and the members! This is my opinion, but sometimes opinion becomes fact. I'm not saying this will, but it could, and it never will without help. I can't make this happen on my own, will someone back me up here? If not, fine, but I won't back down until Mason says to, or the "ApriHunters" becomes a reality. Thanks for reading!

It's cool that you're trying to get people interested in helping the server out.
If you think about it though, this a really boring and monotonous job to have. No matter how much you truly want to help you're eventually going to get bored from just wandering the server looking for these farms. Maybe bored enough that you don't really want to do your job anymore.
There are other things to think about too. Is there some sort of quota that has to be met if you get the job? What way is there to measure the productivity for something like this? Is it fair to set a quota?
Furthermore, I already see this job falling under the responsibility of each of the following populations:
1. Administrators/Moderators/Helpers (Current Staff) -Although I doubt that the staff dedicates time regularly to scouring the map for these farms, the do remove them when they come across them in their travels, or when the farms are reported to the staff in game or here on the forums.
2. Every player on the server. -Upon joining the server, it is your responsibility to read, understand, and abide by the rules that are presented to you AS SOON AS YOU JOIN. Everyone should take it upon him or herself to do their best and educate their peers. That isn't to say we should be stepping on each others' toes, just that we all should follow the rules to ensure the server is operating as optimally as it can be so that we can have a good time. Mistakes and first time infractions are pretty frequent. If you see a player online breaking a rule, be a good samaritan and tell them in a friendly manner. Often times, people are known to self-correct destructive behaviors if the behavior is witnessed by the public.

Well, I just think it would be cool to have a job on here that is easier to get, but still requires work. Quotas are fine imo. I don't much time to write this but I will say that I think you are half right. I will reply with a longer message sometime soon, I promise. Thanks for reading.

Ok, now, I simply think there should be a job that is easier to get, one that anyone could probably get. That way, they could work their way up the Rank "ladder". What if someone applied to be a builder, and they would be good at it, but are bad with words. The app might look horrible but they might be perfect for the job! It should be easier for people to do what they want. Right now, if the want a job, it's real difficult. I said that the job should be "ApriHunters" but that just seemed like a simple, not-too-important job that would be a good start. However, it is entirely up to Mason as to what the job is, and what you do. I think ApriHunters could work out nicely but if not that, then some other simple job could be great! I will summarize what I've been saying, I think there should be a job on the server that is fun, easy to get, and provides a chance for players to show their skills and personality so that they may, in the future, become a staff member or gym leader. It doesn't have to be a job that we NEED, but a job that, if you have it, would make the game more immersive and fun.

When applying for roles a good application is important but your in game 'performance' matters much more. With your point about it being 'easy to get', I would say why not just give everyone the role? The reason why applying for roles is so competitive and hard is because it brings the best out of us, ability wise.

Mason doesn't just look at the application of a person to judge whether that person is fit for the role. He makes decisions based on how helpful the person who is applying has been to others before anything. An application is just a way for Mason to have the basic information he needs of the person, and to learn how the person thinks of themself. However, the [Builder] rank is different, I think. I'm not entirely sure how it is but I do think that it isn't Mason who decides who becomes [Builder] but rather Damalos. Though I'm sure they discuss it. If you think about it, the [Builder] rank is the fairest one, if you aren't one for openly helping or if you're just a pessimist playing video games, because [Builder] is picked by the appliers skills rather than their personality and how they act, although these can be contributing factors.
Regarding my opinion on the topic at hand, I do believe that I have made my opinion on this quite clear on my previous post. But keep in mind that my opinion is my own and you are free to ignore it if you would choose to do so. This is Ken, logging off never to return
(EDIT) Lol, Kenji explained it just before I was able to do so. I should've refreshed my page before writing this... xD

You guys, KenTLJ and Kenji, Can think what you want but I will not admit defeat until Mason says to back down. I think we should have this, You guys don't, it's a matter of opinion. Sure, sure, We may not NEED a simple job. However, I think it would be more immersive and more fun on the server if you have a job that you can do for the benefit of the server. Pretend your in my shoes, you look up and see players like the admins flying around, making sure everything is ok, being important. Wouldn't you want that? Exactly, so a simple job is a good place to start, right? When I see admins, they are like gods among peasants on the Server, they make you feel unimportant, because you feel helpless, they could kick you and go on your property. No one should feel like that, it's not fair.

Hello,
thank you for you`re interest in participating further on my server,
the first idea of your pitch is a good idea but I don't think necessary, Although, due to this post I will be looking in to other roles that people may be able to obtain that differ from the rest,
I definitely agree that there is room for improvement on the more exciting side of job roles here on craftbros
Thank you for the input and motivation
-Mason

Thank you so much, Mason! I'm glad you acknowledged my post and my idea! Thank you for acting on it too! I love this server and it would be so cool to actually add something to it, no matter how little I was actually involved. All of you are great, and thanks for reading. Now that Mason has responded, and I have my official answer, there is no need for anyone to post anymore things on the thread. Thank you all!
