Why are you interested in joining this server?:
I really like redstone and making devices that help in survival or just for fun, but I wish I could join a community of players that could interact and help each other, instead of just being alone on my own world all the time.
Current Redstone knowledge:
I know how to use almost all redstone components, save for the comparator, and have built a 8 bit memory randomizer, a giant die, and several elevators, as well as lots of piston creations. I like to keep it simple, but to use simple components to make complex machines.
Past Redstone Experience:
Same as above, though I didn't know as much before.
Anything else you'd like to mention? (Optional):
I like video games and stuff. Origami is my favorite craft and I play the piano.

Since your application wasn't
Since your application wasn't that long, please elaborate more on how your creations work or insert imgur picture links or video links of your works. Thanks and good luck next time!

In addition
So sorry, here is some more info.
Most of my creations are geared towards either completing tasks very easily, making use of weird features of redstone, and making interesting concepts to use in other devices. Examples could be a smoke detector I built once that detects if a fire is in the house you are in. No real point, but interesting. Another device I made was an item detector that was built into a furnace, that if you put the right item in, it would give you access to a secret room. Almost all of my design require very elaborate timing and most a burnout timer, or something close. Here's an example. For a redstone die I was making, I first made a 8 bit randomizer using a piston belt. The belt went in an O shape and was composed of two materials, glass and wool. Wool is redstone conductive, but glass isn't. By running the belts at random times, I created a flickering effect, simulating the dice running though several numbers before stopping at a random time too. The randomizer I used was controlled by a cactus, which in turn was put in front of a sign, and fed bonemeal when the start button was pushed. Around it were pressure plates, and when the cactus grew up to the sign, its topmost piece would break off and activate a random timer set at different lengths to go off. This randomizer was not my own idea though, I learned how to make the cactus part on you tube, but added in the bonemeal design on my own, in order to save time. After that, the timer is put off which activates several lines of redstone leading to the display, before ultimately stopping at one number, shown on a large glow stone screen. One other device which I invented by myself was a very simple rain detector that used a BUD switch to control it. a constant flame was kept by an activated dispenser with fire charges. When rain hit it, the block the fire was in would update, making the BUD switch put on a light display telling me it was raining. The BUD was simply a piston next to a redstone block. I hope this is enough to show what I am able to do, though I can definitely learn lots more if needed. I'm really interested in piston extenders and combination locks as well, if that helps. Sorry I couldn't put any pictures though. Thanks! Karkids.
Wait, There's more!
I forgot to say, I also know how to use something many people don't know about, the locked repeater. If you run one repeater into another with the one running in on, then a gray bar appears across the second, preventing current from passing through it. I also like to play with redstone and water, even though it can be tricky to separate the two.
