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

 

No.

 

Do you hold / have you held any other staff positions?

 

I have not.

 

What MMORPG/video games have you / do you play? (Past and Present):

I have logged quite a few hours on Mount and Blade: Warband and Crusader Kings II, Total War: Rome II and ATTILA, as well as CS:GO.

 

What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member?

 

My primary character is Adrian de Bar, a Savoyard nobleman, though I also play Sascha de Saltpans, a character I have been developing for some time now. If satisfactory roleplay is provided, I would consent to PKing either of these characters, due to my belief in a dynamic experience on this server.

 

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 am very well-versed in human roleplay, and I believe that if I were to be an ET member I would be best suited to making events for the human player base. However, I am knowledgeable in lore for other races, and would do events for all if and where possible.

 

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?

 

The main draw for an event would be the players’ enjoyment and sustaining a dynamic roleplay experience while also putting forth the effort to prepare a cohesive narrative. Organization is key, but so is being open-minded and letting the roleplay run its course fluidly, whichever way the current flows!

 

When was the last time you saw a event? Recently, having witnessed Byzabro and Altiak’s boar hunt event.

 

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing?

 

As aforementioned, I have deeply indulged in the lore of this server, and fancy myself a decent organizer as well, having been in a multitude of leadership roles. I am a people-person, and I enjoy interaction with others OOCly and ICly. Therefore, I feel I can run an event successfully, and also coordinate with other Event Team members or participants to ensure an enjoyable experience is provided.

 

Why do you want to be part of the ET? To provide enjoyable events that further player's individual enjoyment and character development.

 

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 :

 

A travelling minstrel approaches a lone figure or two; offering them the chance to partake in a newly produced play with him. He leads these newly recruited away to a small overgrown amphitheatre where he trains them - having them rehearse in the various lines of the piece. After he has sufficiently rehearsed with the few enough he sets out to garner an audience at a roadside tavern, thus extending the event to include not only the few selected to enjoy. They would then proceed to perform the piece to whomever ever they could find to serve as an audience; revelling in the dramatics and theatre. By the of this event not only do a few people get enjoyment from it but it spreads to grant character development and allow interaction with more when they perform.

 

2)  For a  group of 5-10:

 

A group of wearied travellers are travelling upon the roads when they are halted by a lone figure with an arbalest strapped over his shoulder, his palm outstretched in greeting. As they stop he insists on having knowledge of a small treasure trove nearby, but needs help unearthing it, should the party accompany him he quickly leads them off. After a number of wrong turns and other errors of direction they are travelling upon a wooded path. Suddenly halting the lead man turns and gives them a sickly grin, performing a slight whistle. Within a moment a pair of  men have emerged from the dense undergrowth to stand by his side and a number of others can be spotted crouching with weapons prepared under cover. The players are then faced with the choice to either hand over their valuables and leave, or attempt to fight back to retain their hard-earned items.

 

3) For a group of 20+:

 

A wizened astrologer is hired to serve in the court of a noble lord, where he is  patronized by his liege. After a multitude of days locked away in solitude, he requests an audience with his master. Before a public audience, he warns of an impending doom made clear to him by an omen sighted in the night sky. As the days drag on, an increasing sense of paranoia looms over the town, each townsman forecasting his own version of the disaster to strike. During this time, the court astrologer disappears.  Following this period of apprehension, the town becomes riddled with plague, the only probable source being the sewers from which crawled disease-stricken peasants, vermin, or the no longer recognizable. Headcloths are distributed to grant momentary relief, a stratagem akin to one employed during the days of the Abresian plague. Despite this, the illness continues to fester, and the peasantry become emboldened by the words of an outspoken rioter, who urges his fellow townsfolk to venture into the depths of the sewer alongside him. Once enough support is garnered, this revolutionary, of sorts, would lead his followers into the epicenter of plague and expose them to a variety of dangers that would threaten their lives. A PVE event would emerge followed by a final climactic battle with a giant rat, whose identity is divulged along complete with a maniacal cackle! He reveals himself to a lunatic and necromance once under the guise of a court astrologer! Though this sort of structure is how the event is to ideally be ran, I would happily leave it to progress dynamically as that is the sort of roleplay I endorse!

 

How long do you plan to stay in the ET?:

 

I wish to remain in the event team for as long as I can contribute to it.

a good dad +1

[Vanir 693]

I've known norman for like, almost two years now. Definitely a good choice for ET. He's an excellent RPer, knows how to take a joke but is serious when required. HUGE +1

[Altiak 1648]

Yes, a good guy. +1

[Aislin 4354]

Originally, this was a simple +1. However, I think Norman deserves better. Norman is perhaps one of the most entertaining, fresh, and effectively concise roleplayers I've had the pleasure of experiencing. He was gRonKK's favorite son, gOoOnKK, and played him to perfection. With Gronkk's reputation, this was a mighty feat, and he accomplished it with ease while also adding on new layers to the character that were perfect.

 

I truly believe that, regardless of staff team logistics, this man should be added to the team. He is, quite simply, the best candidate out there. He has experience with multiple races and always brings a smirk to my face.

[Salvo 1852]

Yes, a good guy. +1

[Esterlen 4499]

A nice guy. Not just any nice guy, but Norman the nice guy, sometimes called Norm, played by Stephen Fry in the hit TV series 'Ausbrig'. Thank you and good night +11

 

[ARCHITECUS 4788]

While he sits in his locked channels, refusing anyone entry, he manages to provide a fresh character with pleasant roleplay. +1

[Jachnun 566]

 

I met Norman's character the Bristiric folk hero of course after Olaf Freyr, Thomas Dunham who managed to keep my mouth from not getting sewed shut by Bloomkip at the Captured Kha in Abresi, perhaps the best rp moment in my life, if not the best moment in my life. The sheer rp and seriousness was oustanding, +1. 

[Avacyn 1712]

+1 for my good buddy stormin' norman
