From Zi
I Ziaden acknowledge the requirements and prerequisites that are needed to become the rank of 'Trusted' in the community. I recognise that this is a trusted rank held by only a few and by submitting this application I promise not to abuse any powers I have. I acknowledge that in getting this rank it does not give me immunity and I can still be punished.

7. What experience do you have with administration?:
I did 6 months as a admin for a minecraft server in 2011. I was 10-11 at the time.
8. What makes you feel like you should be accepted instead of another applicant?:
a. I Have almost all requirements the only one I do not have is 1 week on the forums but in my time on the forums I have reported multiple bugs, had Kortari place a Hit on me for 10,000 points(thanks for that) and I have become the first meme. ("you are the servers first meme" skyrion 2016)
b. I am very respected by the server community and staff.
c. I am very passionate about the server and want to do my part in helping it grow.
9. How are you going to improve the server?:
I wish to make the server a place where no matter your age, gender and ethnicity you will be respected and shown equal respect as any other person would have.
I would also like to help this server grow, into a server that is well respected in the TTT community.
10. Have you ever been punished on the server and if so why?:
I got banned for 10 minutes for changing my name mid game. (I did not know that would happen and I will not make the same mistake again.)
and a couple accidental rdms which I vote slayed myself.
11. What makes you trustworthy?:
I am very OCD when it comes to rules I will always follow them to a T, and I try not to break them.
I will use my power to enforce the rule of the server in a correct manner and will not abuse my position as a trusted member of The Rusty Cutlass Server community.
12. Name someone's steam name who can support your application?:
Skyrion (Admin)
WILLLLLLLLLLLLLL (2) (Owner)
Radox12 (Super Admin)
Del (Trusted)
Situations
13. You have noticed that a staff member is abusing his powers and rdming because he/she thinks he/she is invincible as an admin. Do you feel that this is right? If not, what would you do in this situation?
I do not think it is right to abuse the power given to you to protect and enhance other people's experience on the server, if I saw this happen I would record with fraps and post it to the forums and share it with the higher administator above there level.
14. A young player joins that does not quite understand how to play, how do you show/teach the player how to play?
I did that on the 4/12/2016, A young user was RDMing and did not know what he was doing so I pointed him to the f1 menu and the motd. I then explained to him the rules and RDMing to him he stayed on for about an hour then left.
15. One of the players on the server starts to impersonate yourself/another admin. How would you deal with this player?
If they had the same name I would Warn them but if they continued warn second time then kick then ban.
16. You are on the forums and you notice a player being abused by others in the shoutbox and threads. Are you in control of this/is this your problem to worry about.
Yes it is, especially for me (Question 9) I would gather evidence and then notify other staff and if I can I would comfort and stand up for the victim of the abuse.
Declaration
I Adam Macintyre (So_Salty) acknowledge the requirements and prerequisites that are needed to become the rank of 'Admin' in the community. I recognize that this is a trusted rank held by only a few and by submitting this application I promise not to devote my time to other competing communities. I acknowledge that I must administer this server under the rules written by the Owner and I strive to promote a fun to play server with minimal discrimination.
Choosing to create a new character will delete any existing character which you have on this same server, removing you from any tribes and losing ownership of all property so be careful when using this option!
When you freshly spawn in ARK, you must create a character. Character creation is mostly cosmetic and does not yield any major benefits for altering sizes of body parts. Size does matter to some extent. If you are too tall your head will stick out the top of buildings exposing you. Best to make a smaller character model to be less visible. Also body blocking (preventing someone by moving with your own character) is more prevalent with bigger models. Once you're done customizing your character's appearance, you can also name your character which will show up to other users that approach you in-game or in any chat channels. The appearance of your character may not be altered unless you create a new character.
Once you have created your character, you are given a set of spawn points to choose from. It is generally regarded that the southern spawn locations are safer, whereas the northern areas more often have dangerous creatures that can roam close to the beaches such as Raptors, Sabertooths and Argentavis. It is entirely possible however to choose to spawn at any of the starting locations and be immediately killed by a wild creature, in which case you must simply choose and start again!
Freshly Spawned
Welcome to the wild beaches of ARK. Once you spawn, your first priority is to craft a Stone Pick. To craft a Stone Pick, you will need 1 Stone, 1 Wood, and 10 Thatch. You should be able to find plenty of Stone laying around the beaches of ARK. Look on the ground for gray rocks, and tap the use key (default E) when you're above them to pick them up.
To get Wood and Thatch, run up to a tree and punch it repeatedly. Punching trees with your hands will cause you to lose some health, so you'll only want to punch it enough to gather your 1 Wood and 10 Thatch. You can access your crafting menu by pressing the crafting key (default V). This will show you any recipes that you have learned and what materials are required to make each item. Just remember that a stone pick and stone hatchet will each collect more of either wood or thatch depending which item you use
Once you've gathered enough materials to craft your first Stone Pick, press the inventory key (default I) to access your inventory and place your new tool in your Action bar at the bottom of the screen. You can then press the corresponding number on your keyboard to use your tool.
Beware animals. You won't see any large animals like the Tyranosaurus, but you will find a wide variety on the beaches. Ignore them until you can kill some prey with a tool. Dodos are recommended prey, but trilobites will suffice. Few predators spawn on the beach, but beware of Dilophosaurus. They can kill a beginner fairly quickly, as can a pack of voracious Compies. Stick to you and the environment, for now. Avoid all confrontation until you learn the basics of the game.
Your First Level Up
By the time you've created your first stone pick, you've probably received a message that you have leveled up, since it only requires 5 experience to level up. You may have missed it, though. You will see the message if you open your inventory. Leveling up is an essential part of surviving. You will be able to improve your character's statistics as well as earn Engrams for learning crafting recipes.
Once you're in your inventory, you can press the + button next to one of your stats to increase the property of that statistic. See the Attributes section for further information on leveling up. Generally speaking, it's never a bad idea to put some points into Health!
The Tools of Survival
After you've increased one of your stats, you will be taken to the Engram menu to spend points to unlock new Engrams. A Stone Hatchet and Campfire are essential to your survival. Spears do a fair amount of damage, but break easily. Once you have spent your points to learn a Stone Hatchet, you will require some Flint, Wood, and Thatch to make one. Now that you have your Stone Pick, you can more easily gather Flint and Stone from small rock groups or big rocks. You can also use it to get Wood and Thatch from trees without taking damage. Gather the required 1 Flint, 1 Wood, and 10 Thatch to create yourself a Stone Hatchet.
Once you have created your Stone Hatchet, you have your two best friends for the next while in your Ark life! The Stone Hatchet will gather Wood, Stone and Hide in greater quantities, while the Stone Pickaxe will gather more Thatch, Flint and Raw Meat. This information is essential when starting off and looking for particular resources.
Hydration
Staying hydrated is essential to your survival on the ARK. To do this simply submerge yourself in a body of water and you will drink to your heart's content! If you wish to fill a bottle of some sort, move towards a body of water, place the bottle on your hotbar, then press the number corresponding to the bottle and it will fill with delicious ark water (press the same key to drink the water when filled).
Your hydration meter will fill up and stay filled up when it is raining.
Thirst steadily decreases with time, but will decrease more quickly when you regenerate stamina.
The "Hot" status effect increases water consumption.
Hunger
Staying satiated is necessary to survive on the ARK. Gathered berries can be eaten, and hunted animals can be quite satisfying. Simply put the desired food in your hot bar, press the corresponding number, and you can eat anything you deem fit (including some not so gracious choices.)
Your hunger meter fills as you eat, and depletes as you exert yourself. Survival is key, starvation is death.
Hunger steadily decreases with time, but will decrease more quickly when you regenerate stamina.
The "Cold" status effect increases food consumption.

It's been a while since I've talked to everyone here collectively. There have been some pretty big changes, and some larger ones to come.
TTT has been making leaps and bounds in terms of both popularity and enjoyability. We've had some admins come and go, namely:
Crunchy Bacon has left the team due to time constraints.
Major Harambe has left due to trust issues.
Skyrion has been promoted to Admin after his week's trial.
Asside from that So_Salty has won the random giveaway of the elite rank.
I have commenced development of DarkRP, it's essentially putting up the old server (for who was there) and getting updates, reseting stats, etc.
Before you ask, cash has been reset, but ATM balances have not. In saying that, ARK sparker had something like 40million dollars. Seathed and I had ~$600 Million between us, due to ArcBank calculating the time between the server being down and serving everyone interest... so some people will probably have more than they did, if they played before. Nothing crazy though
Diysuperguy33 will be head admin, as he has been before, and did a damn fine job. Hopefully he gives it the ripstart it needs and we get going okay
We are also in the process of starting up an ARK: Survival Evolved server. Of which, Reapz and TheUltimateNibbler will be staffing and majorly in charge of. It's easier to ask them about it than me. We know have some friends which are excited to play but it'll be nice to know who else is keen (reply)!
I'm pretty sick of reading posts and seeing our logo everywhere! Once or twice is enough. Go to usercp and upload an avatar, please.
Sup, Your new overlord is here to bring order to the lands of Ark: Survival Evolved.
Joined the community through Reapz and Will after playing Ark with them. Pretty much carried these nerds all the way to getting Wyverns and now I'll be doing it again on the brand new Ark server (coming soon).
Will be tryharding Ark pretty much every day, my Name on Teamspeak is Barry Spoder
