    In your own words, what is powergaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Depends upon the setting. If it's a group thing such as lord of the craft, appropriate drawbacks to their abilities are a must. If its one-on-one, I'd decline to RP with them. People who feel the need to play the most powerful character possible are often inexperienced, or have things going on that I don't want to be involved with.
    Give me a flawed, useless, well-written character over a superhero any day.
    In your own words, what is metagaming, and why should it be avoided in roleplay?: Metagaming is generally a problem in trad games because it lets the players further optimize their combat strategy that may decrease the challenge of the encounter; the inconsistency metagaming introduces into the roleplay side of things is often secondary. And since the players primarily want to win the fights, they may not care about metagaming, same as how some people will follow video game guides and optimize for bosses before their first attempt.

Character Name: Goroth/Goroth the Crusher
Character Race: Orc
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 41
Physical Description: large 6ft, 180pounds, green ashy skin, flat faced, brown quilt on waist as only clothing, large broken rotting canine teeth, long sharp claws, crooked
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?))


"RAHH!" He would scream, in bloodlust. Babbling in Orcish, he would spit profusely with each word that left his mangled lips. "I will taste the meat of every race on Middle Earth for stealing the land that is rightfully ours!

He would slam his fists into the ground and skip around frantically. Finally yelling "I know no mercy!" Before turning his crooked back and galloping away while snarling and drooling at the mouth.
He would drop a small wood carving behind, which seemed to be a child like drawing of what seemed to be a family with a mother, father, and son.

Hi there! Your application has been put on pending as there are changes that need to be made before you can be accepted. See below. 

 

  • Although you were on the right lines somewhat with your definitions, I'd really like to see how you would prevent yourself powergaming or metagaming! Additionally, metagaming on LotC may not be limited to the examples and description you gave: If you could try to think how out of character knowledge might affect a player's interaction with the world and say how you as a player would avoid doing such would be a really good way to show me you understand the two core concepts!

 

  • In your backstory, you're referring to Middle Earth! That's not a thing on LotC- we're not a Lord of the Rings rip off, we're actually something incredibly different. I'd suggest looking into the lore on the wiki for a better understanding, as it seems you've not grasped some of the backgrounds of the world and setting.



 

You have 48 hours to make these changes otherwise I will unfortunately have to deny your application. When you have finished please message me on the forums or contact me on Discord @itsjustmemorgan to let me know so I can review it!

 

You are free to ask me any question regarding your application or LotC in general, additionally if you wish to speak to those in the community take yourself towards:
