Elder is like Helper, by asking for it, you're basically telling the mods that they shouldn't give it to you.
About adult stuff, believe me when I say I'm a child inside a grown up's body. Minecraft is my escape from reality and a place where I can forget the daily routine. When other people like to watch TV or read books, I play games!
c0wg0d Please either reply here or send a Convo to all the new Elders about what exactly we are able to do now... @Virgeric "What are our superpowers?" I would also like to know. ( I know there are Elder-only building areas...?) But @JackenKracken is the most eager to know of us all... he was just too much of a scaredy cat to ask. *smirks at JK*
Apart from the Blue Star and being able to build at spawn areas, I believe that there are no other perks to it. It's more of an award in recognition of those qualities. Also, Wield*
Congratulations! All of you are such a big help to this community, and I was starting to wonder why you guys weren't elders or helpers. Now you are! Congratz!
