Definitions

This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's!

What is roleplaying?: - Playing a role of a character, giving it a life and leading a life that you couldn't experience in the real world.

What’s metagaming?: - Having knowledge of something that your character wouldn't know, but you know from a forum or something similar.

What’s powergaming?: - Essentially taking another person's character actions into your own hands, also boosting your character.

For example: 'Xander mined for 24 hours'

So, in conclusion, powergaming is do tedious actions for your character without actually doing it.

While I am accepting you, there are a few minor things I'd like you to note. For one, the preliminary portion of your powergaming definition was accurate, but the example which was added was not. If you're confused at all, read this. Also, your character cannot be the child of a noble, although you can fairly easily amend this. Lastly, while your character can have some skill in combat, he should not be a master in any skill.

I would also recommend visiting the following links to make yourself a bit more knowledgeable about the server and roleplay in general:
