Hey Munchies!!
Over the last 4-5ish years since Munchy opened, I’ve had the privilege of working here as our Build Team manager. It has been such a great time, words cannot begin to express how I feel about leaving. Getting to know the many amazing and talented builders along the way has allowed me to learn about different people all around the world. Leading this team is such an honor, and I will miss every builder I’ve worked with on completing some amazing maps. The community here has grown over the years, and I’ve enjoyed playing games, hosting events, and building maps for us to play on.
I can recall back in the old MCPVP days playing with my best friend on Hardcore Games, making traps and all. I never really thought anything of this game other than it was a fun way to pass time. After joining Munchy, and taking a real passion for managing and building, I learned how amazingly complex running a server really is. I never considered applying for staff at MCPVP until 2 weeks before it closed, and unfortunately never had the opportunity to lead. Munchy gave me that chance, and I am grateful.
The builders I’ve met while running this team come from every corner of the planet. I am so grateful to have known these talented people, not just in building on a block game, but having such creativity. Minecraft has been a tool to express our creativity, and these people are the most creative I’ve ever known. I’d just like to make a few thank-you’s to some of my longest builders that have made an impact on the way I managed, and perceived this team; @TheMooingCow, you are probably the oldest builder on the team. The memories we’ve made together will forever last with me. The fun times we had building maps, the frustrating ones as well, when even the times we disagreed you always had a compromise. I hope the best for your future endeavors as a person and a builder here. @_Gonzo, you have always been honest and blunt as possible with my builds, and I have always appreciated that. You are a great builder, and I hope to continue to see your builds here on Munchy. To every builder that I’ve worked with, from applying – interviewing and then finally building with, you have given me an experience I wouldn’t have been able to gain any where else, thank you.
To the staff here at Munchy, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. All the admins have made working on the build team enjoyable and I couldn’t have received better oversight than from BadGuyHalo himself Calladad, I’m going to miss hearing you pee in teamspeak. AntMan, you have always been there to help me when I need admin stuff done for build and Thunder, your support has motivated me countless times to keep up my godlike managing skills. Warlocks, I know you’re not an admin (yet), but you are a great moderator and a role model for the new recruits, keep climbing friend. To every staff member, I am going to miss you all greatly. This has been a very fun experience, and you all are a great bunch of people to work with.
As for the build team, I have put in my recommendations for a new manager, and I am hoping that the team will continue on providing Munchy with some great maps. Our most recent map for Prison, to some of our older maps for KitPVP and even down to our retired maps from gamemodes that don’t exist anymore; I cant wait to log back on and check up on the team. Build Team applications are scheduled to reopen this November.
I wish I could thank ever single individual that I shared great experiences with, but that essay would take way too long to type up here. So to everyone here that makes Munchy work, I will always have a special place in my memories for you.
