Swgrclan's Lore Keeper Application

[Swgrclan 2682]

What is your Minecraft Account Name?:

Swgrclan

 

How long have you played on LotC?:

Since Septemper 24 of 2011, nearly four years from this moment.

 

How many hours per day/week are you available?:

I am currently unable to access LoTC in-game as per my financial difficulties (lacking of a laptop - to obtain one soon), but I contend with dealing with things on Skype and on the forums with consistent activity. As my recent lore posts would suggest, I am able to write in this state despite my circumstances. I suspect I will be able to hop back into the game in a few weeks.
 

What lore do you know best on LotC:

I dabble mostly in the Dark Arts and what it reigns over - the undead, dark entities, dark forces, just darkness in general - the works. Otherwise, my time here has garnered me some knowledge in how deific (Aengudaemonic) forces work, as well as the smaller details in the universe - the expected lifespan of Elves (1,000 years prior to insanity), how the universe actually works (Aos/Eos), as well as the general IC history of the server, considering I saw a early sum of it through my own eyes. This allows me to pinpoint errors that wouldn’t have been made years ago.

 

Give a Summary of any Staff/Lead positions you’ve held on any Minecraft Server in the past:

My voluntary staff time is primarily allotted into this current project, and in several forms. My first staff position in LoTC was as an Application Team member in Asulonian eras, wherein after I resigned, a year or so later I signed up as an Event Team member after noticing Kai (firespirit44, bless his name) had assumed a role there as well. After being accepted, I remained content while my friend ascended the ranks and finally assumed control of the team.

After a few months of time with the team, firespirit then promoted me to manager where I lasted until the latter half of Fringe came, where my resurfacing money problems had first started to appear. I was only removed from both my position as ET Manager and the team itself until a time later (recently, actually), when Raelplayer decommissioned me under the reasons of inactivity and failing to file my events properly.

 

Do you have a Skype account? You may post it here, or choose to keep it private until you are asked for it.  Note; Skype is required to communicate with the team and unless you have an account and the program it you will be incapable of joining the team:

Several LT members hold my Skype, so I would rather keep it private for the sake of that convenience.

 

Have you ever written any lore for LotC? We are looking for LKs who either know a lot, have a lot of ideas— or preferabl both. So lets see what you have done. If you want a part of the app to pay most attention to-- pick this one:

I’ve written so much lore that I’ve become a meme where I’m hoped to become an LM, but always fail to. Instead of digging for my old work in the dreaded Maelstrom, I will post raw, documented copies here. I offer warning - there’s a lot here, and while not a lot of it’s accepted, I’d like the chance to display my experience in writing in general--

Have you ever receive a Magical Blacklist, ban or other blacklist if so, please link it:

I have not received any of these things.

In commemoration for actually summoning the will to write this application, I’ll add in a lyrical reiteration of a song that I thought fit the death of my old character. Thanks for reading!

(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJfYsEH6dOA )

Asulon,
Vor jumps horse, two feet creep up on the road,

To draw blade, shed blood and wage war,
His advance spells ill-fated chance,

Oooh,
Ooooh,

Very loud blades’ clash.
a violent foot push mass, throws back, tosses body like rags,
Flown so high, finally Vor’kalan lands,

His is a watery pit,
painless with old bones breaking,

From battle, to foe, from drawing red, him five yards from the shore,
from you Faeyin.

Oooh,
Ooooh,
Oooh,

Do not walk into my sight,
I have caught you in my dead sight,

Midday, Vor pends death, quivers, last breaths, last chokes,
All pasts and furies, glaze to gray; shriveled and stricken to dots,
The mind barely grasps what the body cannot,

Oooh,
Ooooh,

le maudit est mort,
thoughts dead; muddled; poor, alive no longer my amour,
fated for fires so short from shore,

Doors like open arms my love, painless with a great coldness,

To Vor, to Vor, Vor darkened after age,
reunited with his mind and you Faeyin,

Do not walk into my eyes,
I have caught you amidst my eyes.

[GodEmperorFlam 3447]

Honestly, can someone explain why Swgr isn't an LM already?

 

+1

[mitto 2312]

is this a choice, like?

 

is there anyone better?

[Rig 17580]

Swgr is an excellent writer, second to none on the server; especially in regards to the topics of Dark Magic and the general gist of current Mundane lore. He'd do a model job as a Lore Team member. +1

[TavernLich 324]

To be honest, sort of triggered that he isn't an LM already. The guy is more deserving of the position than a vast majority of the Lore Team. Swgr is probably one of the best, if not the best writer, LotC has to offer. +1

[Nug 2011]

why wasn't he picked the first time???

[SpiltMemes 368]

Blasphemy that he isn't on already.

[Parkins 550]

I for one welcome our Wraith Staff overlords.

 

Swgr has written.. a lot of Necromancy lore, among other things. I'm sure he'd do amazingly in the role.

 

+1

[Princeton 396]

Swgr is a good lad, and definitely knows his lore. He would additionally serve well as a representative for Dark Magic on the server. A definite +1 from me.

[Cloakedsphere 1471]

+1

 

The only person that I truly believe has the most knowledge on the darker sides of lore.

[CosmicWhaleShark 2488]

I can move him into the accepted forum now to save you guys time, if you like.

[Space 2335]

I can move him into the accepted forum now to save you guys time, if you like.

 

no balls

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

Yes please. He can have my spot.

[Samson Option 9652]

He is one of the finest writers and I hold no qualms admitting that he eclipses my own amateurism a great deal. He is a great cat to work with and has one of the finest grips on dark themes that is highly needed to really ensure that, if we ever wanted to, we could avoid the cliches and the worries from the general playerbase whenever dark themes are dealt with.

[Watyll 1104]

I honestly thought he was already a loremaster.
