    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming out-of-character knowledge being used in an in-character situation. For example, contacting someone through a messaging service due to an in-character event occuring as to have their character 'conveniently arrive' to join the situation.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Powergaming is emoting for someone else's action. This is usually an action that isn't "attempted", giving the other roleplayer no ability to overpower, resist or defend themself. For example, "Greg slices off John's head" is a powergaming action as it do

A studious craftsman, the cavern dwarf Heidrek was born in the city of Kal'Agnar to a tavern wench and a greedy miner who died in a cave collapse when Heidrek was a young man of 46. With a mental goal of mastering the cavern-digging arts to prevent any similar tragedy occuring, his future career was set. Sneaking out of his foster-home to assist in mining, he quickly became skilled at digging well-supported caves. Although not wanting to stray too far from his home of Kal'Agnar, he sought to establish a home for dwarves with interests in construction such as himself. Setting out with his pickaxe and meagre supplies for the journey, he seeks to find a place he can call his own. For Heidrek, this is his purpose as a dwarf.


Character Name: Heidrek Hvalmann
Character Race: Dwarf
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 200
Physical Description: A pudgy dwarf with a squint. His face is covered in decades-old soot and coal dust. He smells of sweat and grime, the signature of a labourer.
Roleplay Scenario: The traveller has just arrived in a small town. As they look around, their gaze is met with run down houses and shops. They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

"Oh, I just, uh…" The traveler stutters, tensing up. They eye the crone, then back outside the shack. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…

Changed Status to Under Review

Thank you for applying for Lord of The Craft but unfortunately, your application has been put under...

✦ Your powergaming and metagaming definitions are quite correct but I'd like you to expand upon your definitions to full sentences or even add an example to it. This is to ensure that you truly understand them as they're a big part of the LoTC, both for your and the other parties experience as you venture out on Atlas.  

 

✦ Your character wouldn't possibly be able to be born in Kal'Nerroth as it was being founded the year 1554 whilst your character was born around the year 1466. Please consider changing your character's age or change which city he was born in. Keep in mind that we're on Atlas right now, currently, the year is 1666.

 

Your application was good but good enough to be truly perfect. Though fret not as you have 24 hours to make the changes.

I recommend that you check out the "New Player Discord" and wiki when times allow it!

 

Feel free to contact me on the forums, in game (/m MadYeAd) or over at discord with a simple tag - MadYeAd#6091. You can always make a ticket in game as well simply by doing /atreq if you have any question.

Well done applicant! I've had an absolutely amazing time reading your application and only few application manage to catch my interest by so much. Hopefully, you'll be able to encounter a lot of things that will further your character development. Anyway...

On the behalf of the Application team, I warmly welcome you to the Lord of The Craft community. I hope you the best of luck as you explore and roleplay on Atlas!

 

You’ll be whitelisted and implemented very shortly, you may also want to check out “ The New Player Discord ” for questions or dwell deeper into the wiki if times allow it.

While in game you can also use /atreq [message] for any assistance you might need from an Application Member or directly message me in game - /msg MadYeAd. Not to mention that /help is a very helpful command that should be utilized.
