    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: When creating a character, know their limits, don't try to perform actions you know that character cannot do. Do not force actions on other players and give other players time to react.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: It makes you omnipotent, where you are God-like and would know everything, giving yourself an unfair advantage. Act like you are your character in first-person, what would he/she know themselves and think, the information I have, would it be something my character would already know, be able to know at this moment, or would it have been something that I would have to find out naturally as a character.

Roleplay Scenario:

Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

I sit down and rub my chin, "Where should I start?  I joined the local town militia at an early age, worked my way through the ranks... Saw some good people die, even more get crippled or disfigured.  Eventually, I left the military when my time was up."  I look at the hag again. "I decided I would do something less... violent; so I took up fishing for a while, but it just wasn't any fun, or maybe I got restless... I really don't know or remember."  I shift on my hard stool. "I eventually started meeting up with other veterans and found out the local weaponsmith needed an apprentice, so I volunteered to assist.  I did not request payment, but he paid me pretty well," I chuckled. The hag, looking at me, asks "why make weapons?"  "I guess you can't take the soldier out of the man.  I was disabled from the military, so I figured I would do my part for the soldiers still fighting.  I knew my way around a forge and was pretty good with the hammer."  I pulled out a gold-plated dagger I had made and it gleamed in the dim light.  "It was my way of paying the Army back for taking care of me.  After several years, the Army got their own weapon suppliers, foreign ones, if I had to guess, and we just couldn't keep up.  We ended up closing shop and a few years later the old smith died.  I did some odd jobs for folks, plowed fields, picked weeds, took care of animals, but I just couldn't find anything meaningful.  I ended up just packing my bags one day, and left my life behind.  I wandered for months, and kind of... ended up here."

Hello there! Your Application has been set to pending, Please make the following changes and we will happily take another look. You're almost there!:

-> Please give a more in-depth response to the Meta and Power-gaming question. Take a look here if you need more info! 

https://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/index.php?title=Metagaming_%26_Powergaming

 

-> Please remove "Ashguard" from your backstory. We try to avoid named organizations in backstories, for the sake of keeping the lore tidy, and making sure people focus on their RP instead of stuff in the backstory. Otherwise, the backstory is fine; you can just say you were part of a city guard from an unknown city or something like that.

Please feel free to contact me on the forums, in game (/msg Kingcaouette6666) or over discord @therighthonlortime if you have any questions or would like any clarifications!

You have 48 hours to make the requested changes, or unfortunately your application will be automatically denied. You can always reapply if this happens!
