    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: It is when someone uses knowledge outside of their characters knowledge to their advantage. (Thanks to DnD for this knowledge :P)
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: I believe and hope i know Powergaming as Min/Maxing where one person will Maximize one thing at the expense of others. (in DnD this would be when someone maximizes a trait like Strength and ignore Wisdom etc.) if not i do apologies.

Dear Sir/Madam

This is the story of my life so far, my name is Rikter Shone and what a story it is.


I grew up on a Highlander farm in the Duchy of Ruska my mother who was called Tilda Shone was the heart and soul of our home always keeping me out of trouble, I had five brothers Tom, Harry, Hugo, Ben and Lewis they were always the ones getting me into trouble, of cause there was then my father Robert Shone, who was a fantastic farmer but a terrible cook.

 

One day when I was 16 years old I was out with my brothers tiling the fields and cutting some wood when out of the forest came a wave of smoke, swiftly followed by screeching. I did not realise at first what was happening, then out of the smoke flew an arrow which shot straight past my head, it was an invasion and quickly I realized that we were under attack from goblins.

 

Without thinking my body reacted I turned and ran towards the house to grab my sword which I had created in my spare time it was nothing special but would allow me to at least try to defend my home, my brothers also grabbed anything they could from Axe’s to Hoe’s, apart from Lewis who was a very skilled Archer he grabbed his bow and arrows and all 6 of us went out to face the raiding party of goblins.

 

As we neared the raiding party we could see 10 goblins upfront, but we had no idea the amount within the smoke, I shouted to our father who at this point was running towards me and told him to go fetch help from the neighboring farms. Myself and my brothers banded together and began to charge forward, Lewis readied his bow and on command from me fired upon one of the goblins killing the goblin instantly, at this point Hugo who was very quick and was wielding two knives had reached one of the other goblins and before long had engaged in battle. Quickly another 3 goblins fell, and it became more of a game as I shouted “That’s 2 for me” and Hugo replied “1 for me” and of cause Lewis by this point had killed 2 more so he replied “Haha that’s 3 for me best catch up!”. Finally, all 10 goblins were dead, and we pulled back, as we were heading back to the house a great hollow from a horn was heard.

 

We turned to see another 6 goblins, however this time they were been lead by a mighty creature which to this day I have no idea what it was, I turned to my brothers and smiled, Harry smiled back saying “Ha good luck brother, but I’m going to kill more than you!”. I turned to Lewis telling him to focus his attacks on the big guy, to our surprise the big guy stood still taking shot after shot after shot, soon we had once again defeated all the goblins I got more kills this time than any of my other brothers. Out of the blue the big guy turned and ripped a tree straight out of the ground like it was a toothpick, and with a swing of his arm the tree went hurling through the air and landed right on top of our house, my heart dropped seeing my childhood home in ruins, Hugo ran to the house to see where mother was and to our relief she had gone with father so no one was hurt, well other than pippin our beloved cat who unfortunately did not make it.

 

I turned to my brothers and told them to follow my lead, then I charged forward, I yelled to Ben who was wielding an Axe and told him to go for the creature’s arms, I shouted to Harry telling him to hack at the creature with his Hoe, and of cause telling Lewis to aim for his face, Hugo was morning the death of Pippin so we left him out of this fight and finally I told Tom who was wielding a heavy hammer to go for the creatures feet. I wielding my sword ran behind the creature to fight from behind.

 

The creature grabbed Harry’s Hoe and flung him and the Hoe across the battlefield like a rag doll, Ben managed to chop off one of the creatures hands before he was kicked to the ground, Lewis took out one of the creatures eyes before he could crush Ben, and with a few swift strikes from myself and Tom the creature fell forward and gave out a screech of agony and before we could finish him off he vanished into a puff of smoke.

 

We all ran back to the house and fell to the ground where we looked at the house in ruin and looked at each other between the adrenaline and sadness from losing Pippin we just began to laugh and cry at the same time, soon Mother and Father returned with a militia of farmers of cause the fight was over all that was left was to clean up the mess created from the fight. I turned to father and he said “Oops I guess we are a little bit late” to which I just grinned and replied "sorry about the house".

 

This part of my story was important to tell you because it was an event which changed my life forever, you see I found in the fight that I enjoyed the feeling of defending my home, more than that the feeling of fighting and leading my brothers to glory. I guess the hours and hours myself and my brothers spent play fighting really did pay off in the end.

 

From these events our house was ruined, and the crops was gone, we were in deep trouble so after helping to build a makeshift home I decided to go out and join a mercenary group, so I could raise money to send home and help my family. Lewis headed out to join a Hunters Guild and Harry went to join the local Guard. Ben, Hugo and Tom decided to stay home and help Mother and Father rebuild.

 

I joined a group called the Black Ravens and I was with this group for 16 months building on my fighting and leadership skills, before long I was leading a small group of 8 men we called ourselves Red Squad, One day we were hired to defend a small village which was been attacked, when we arrived we set up camp not 2 clicks outside of the village and on the first night the enemy showed their ugly heads but we was not prepared for the onslaught that followed nearly my entire group was wiped out, my squad lost 3 men and out of the 15 squads that were sent from Black Ravens to defend this village only 4 squads survived, we were forced to flea back to the village were we made our final stand.

 

Come daybreak we were defeated my squad had lost another 2 men and there was only us and 2 other squads alive leaving only 16 members of the Black Ravens standing with this we returned to the group hideout only to find that the group had been disbanded.

 

Finally, I have reached the end of my story now it is present day I am now 19 and I am about to set off on a new Journey, one which will let me see even more of Axios! I was thinking of visiting the Kingdom of Norland but who knows where my travels will take me!

 

Sincerely

Rikter Shone

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…

For the following reasons:

Unfortunately you are a guest and are unable to edit your app so I must deny it.

Your powergaming definition is incorrect, our wiki has a page on it to use for reference.

Realistically it borders on powergaming to beat 10 goblins as a group of 3 young boys.

Whatever magic the 'monster' used to escape likely does not exist in our lore, please remove this.

The black ravens never existed in our lore, you do not need to remove it but it might be confusing for you on the server.

Axios no longer exists, we are on Atlas.

Your 3 facts must include a weakness.

 

 

If any of the reasons I stated involve the wiki, this link will take you right to the home page, where you can find quick links to the metagaming and power emoting definitions, as well as look around to browse our server lore! WIKI

 

Worry not! This is not the end of the world, and you may re-apply in when you like.
