Have you ever been banned or received a strike? If so, link the report: Nope.

 

Do you hold / have you held any other staff positions? Not at the moment.

 

What MMORPG/video games have you / do you play? (Past and Present): Very interesting question. I have played Runescape, I've played a tiny bit of WoW, I've played Wizard 101, Pirates Online(soon to be joining the rewritten version of that game), Minecraft(of course :P) Spyro(one of my most favorite games ever), and don't hate me for this but a few Spongebob games.  Really there are way too many to list, but those are the main ones.

 

I've played Star Wars battlefront II, Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, Rift, TF2,

 

What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member? - Wilbury Hekerbeth, a former wizard now ghost(spectre) and Arthur Weinfield, deacon of the Church of the Canon. I'm willing to sacrifice both, in all honesty(as I only have two slots to hold characters in.)

 

What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain. - I think any group that wants an actiony/adventure sort've gist to their RP, but I am also interested in more magical RP so I believe that group would benefit from me, as well as ghost RP.

 

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event? - From what I observed, it's simple.

 

1. Everyone must be enjoying it. Events are supposed to be fun, right? Too many events I've seen have gone down in flames because someone had to do something OP, or someone had to start an OOC argument, or whatever. You must hit the right cord with your target audience and make the event fun.

 

2. There must be no arguing. Arguing is the death of events from what I've seen, though many members of the team have done a good job to resolve arguments, many people just leave because they're tired of the same old same old.

 

3. You must WOW people. You want people to walk away from that event feeling pumped up thinking "Wow, that was some high-quality, world-class RP."  You must knock their socks off.

 

4. Creativity. The executer of the event must have creativity. I'm getting tired of boring old zombies and princes from the underverse or whatever, I want a heart-pounding, blood-curdling event that'll excite me, not one where you just rush in with a bunch of pixelated swords and poosh, event is over.

 

When was the last time you saw a event? - A day ago.

 

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing? - I'm more of a lore type of guy.  Though I'm not a complete expert on the lore like a LM would be, I am pretty well versed at it and would ALWAYS model my events by the lore so it doesn't break any barriers.

 

Why do you want to be part of the ET? - Because I want to be the one to deliver the exciting, the creative, the heart-throbbing blood curdling event to the table.  I think I could benefit this team immensely, and I'd give it all I have.

 

Create three distinct RP scenarios/events based on LOTC lore that you would organize. These are pitches to the Managers and Ouity, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon.

 

 

 

1) For 1-3 person  - There was a small abandoned shack near your place of residence/everyday travel. You always realize this shack seemed extremely out of place, but out of fear for life  you never dared to approach it. One day curiosity gets the best of you and you decide to explore the ran-down shack.

Upon approaching the shack you see a small gilded chest with pieces of glowing marble all over it's frame.  Attached to the chest you see a note, which was also glowing.  Upon closer examination you see the following letters on the note.

 

"Property of the eldest sage, do not touch."

 

You assume that this chest once belonged to an old, powerful mage who used to inhabit this shack. With curiosity as your motivator, you take your sword and try to pry open the chest, only for your sword to literally bend into two halves after a failed upjerk of it.  Against your better judgement, you still decide to progress into the shack.

In the shack there is many mystical looking trinkets, including a few staves hung up on the wall, as well as a sparkling crystal ball sitting on a gilded table. Overall this place looks abandoned, but you still feel out of place for some odd reason.

 

Then all of a sudden a loud screech rings out across the building, the timbered wood's walls becoming marked. With no one around, you wonder where that mark came from.

When you turn around you see writing in blood on the walls, spelling out the ominious words

 

Why are you here..?

 

As soon as you prepare to leave, a levitating figure appears infront of you. He appears to be an old man, but he was most certainly not human. He explains that he is the sage that the note had mentioned and that this was his home before he moved on. After you explain that you had simply been curious about the building and what was in the chest, the spirit decides to give you a small book from off his shelf, entitled

 

Biography of Melbus

 

He mentions this recorded what happened in his life up until his recent death. He mentions if you need anything such as advice or consul that you may return once every month to see him, but no more than that, for he would grow weaker and lose his spectral powers should you visit more.

With this knowledge in your mind, you nod and walk off on your merry way, glad you had this experience.

 

 

2) For a group of 5-10 - One day when you were sitting in an inn you and a group of people  hear rumors of a traveling swordsman offering an adventure to the mountains in search of reports of golds and treasures. However, detailed on the list are a few disclaimers, such as the Mountains could have multiple beasts and beings unfriendly to outsiders, such as the natives themselves. The group of people lean on deciding if they go with this swordsman or not. You have to choice to stay and enjoy your cup of gin or go and face the tides of nature and possibly return a king, or a dead man.

 

 

3) For a group of 20+ A group of assassins who have tamed ravenous wolves come around Annil'sul in the dead of night and kidnap elves, women and men alike, and take them to an unknown location. A group of high elves have gathered to discuss this issue. They can either prompt further inquisitions of these mysterious kidnappings, or ignore them and go on with life.

 

How long do you plan to stay in the ET? For as long as I'm allowed to.

Tell me a joke-

 

One cold december night a vampire came up to my window and knocked on it.

 

"Sssssss..." The terror hissed, "I'm going to rippp you apart.."

 

"Oh honey," I said, turning towards the doorway, "It's Old Man kurt again, he's forgot to take his meds. Call in the fat lady."

 

"Yes, dear" My wife responded as she did clothes.

 

All of a sudden, a distant scream could be heard in the air, as soon as the vampire went to look he  was swallowed whole by the fat lady who fell onto the ground, full as ever.

 

"Mm," I said as I looked out my window down to her, "She'll need some lipo' after that. Honey, run the bath water."

Great app, and great RPer. been with you and the court for some time and so far you have proven to be worthy of being an ET in my opinion. I'd really like seeing you in events as different characters, and hopefully even a ghostly event that can involve the court ;) 

 

I stand by what i say and i believe that you should be an ET through and through. The best of luck, and hope you get accepted!

Bok is a very capable Roleplayer that would handle this role very well. His skill and the enthusiastic way he goes about his roleplay inspired me in quite a few ways to spice up mine. Ever since I saw Bok roleplay for the first time he kind of suprised me, a new player on the server that was so good at it. Though after I got to know him I learned that he had roleplayed on various other outlets but still to have such a valuable and well versed person on the ET team could be an amazing addition. In terms of trust and how he handles situations I have only seen him act in the most mature and viable way possible when it came to solving problems and helping other players. Now when you have such a skillset it seems obvious that getting accepted to the ET Team shouldn't be a problem and that he could a bring a lot to the table. Please for the love of god accept this glorious man. A giant plus one from me. Also not forgetting good family values.

[Rig 17590]

Considering he's basically done player run before, I will +1 this. 

[TavernLich 324]

Well according to what PD said, would you mind describing how you did these player run events? Just curious.

[The Elder Eye 101]

I know little of Boknice's roleplay other than his role as Wilbury (The Spectre). He provides good roleplay for the Court whether it be arguing with my suggestions or being pushy with the Shadow. For this, I give him a +1 for this, best of luck.

[Rig 17590]

Well according to what PD said, would you mind describing how you did these player run events? Just curious.

That'd be grand if he did actually. Mind explaining to us Bok? Who knows, maybe I could base some of mine after what you did. ;p 

[Endovelicus 614]

+1 He is a really good RPer, I think he will do a great job in the ET.

 

Don't you dare delete Arthur!

[Boknice275 1588]

That'd be grand if he did actually. Mind explaining to us Bok? Who knows, maybe I could base some of mine after what you did. ;p 

 

I'm trying to remember, I may have done one or two unless he's talking about my hauntings, which I do frequently.

 

And in my hauntings I always make sure,

 

1. The person is having fun oocly(just to avoid a rage quit whatever.)

 

2. Due to the nature of the event I have to ensure I'm as underpowered as possible.

 

3. I'm not the kind of killing-haunt person, but if I ever do try to attack as a spectre I always do it fair and put it up in the air and give the victim a reasonable chance to beat me if they wish to.

 

 

Now if I do get accepted I'm surely going to be doing much more than hauntings as I progress in, so I may just do a basic shadow of my previous stradegy(what I just described to you.)

 

Also, I feel quite touched by that, PD. You yourself are a great event maker and the fact that you would want to model your stradegy after mine is something else, (:

 

I am humbled.

[ToenailTickler 290]

He eats his broccoli at dinner time. +666

[Cracker 4570]

+1, solid roleplayer. I have experience with his capabilities through Church RP and he does a fine job. He could help out as an actor without a doubt and would make a fine addition to the team.

[Quackers 70]

+1 He's a solid RPer and has a really good app. c:

[Eddywilson2 2117]

A good RPer who can do fun events. +1

[Boknice275 1588]

Bump.
