What do you think are the top five things, that are most important in an application and why?

In order of importance:

1.A good Bio: To me this is the most important part of an application because it sets a base for your character, without a good biography you don't have a well developed character, there for you cannot roleplay as said character as best you can.

2. The "Do you have a good grip on the english language?" question: This one is rather obvious, if one does not have a good grip on the english language it makes it hard for one to roleplay properly, it may also cause some trouble for others, I for instance hate when I'm roleplaying and someone keeps making grammar and spelling mistakes.

3.The "What do you know about roleplaying, what is it?" question: This is important because it proves that the person either knows or does not know what they are talking about and if they will be a good addition to the server.

4.The "Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?" question: This is also rather obvious, if they say no then obviously they aren't serious about joining the server, that is not to say I would just not let them get in, I would point out that they need to read them, then to repost.

5.The "What are the four races on this server?" question: This is on my list because it is important in that it shows that the person has read the lore, often when looking through applications I see people list ascended and undead, this is something I would look for but not require, a person who went over and above, no matter how insignificant it may seem to others, would have a much better chance of being accepted by me, not to say I would just instantly accept them, but lets just say it would make a good first impression.

Special Note: I know that this is rather case specific by listing particular questions and there for I am also going to list the other, less specific things that I think are important.

In order of importance:

1.Effort: The most, overall, important thing to me, it shows that the person is really going to be a good addition to the server and that they are less likely to cause trouble cause, honestly, how many griefers are going to make a gigantic application just to get on a server they will end up banned from?

2.Honesty: Very important overall because this shows that I can trust the person applying, of course its not always possible to tell if someone is being dishonest in an application, but I tend to have a pretty good sense for that kind of thing.

3.Character With Flaws: Nobody is perfect, even in a game, I think it is incredibly important that the person realize that and give their character flaws, also having a flawed character adds to the roleplay possibilities.

4.Wording: This may seem like an odd thing to add, but I have found that you can tell a lot about a person just by seeing their wording of things, you can get a sense of the kind of person they are.

(had to put this here so that the last thing was coloured properly, please ignore.)

+1 seems like a good application and seems like a good person to be added to the team.

Top Five: These are necessary in my own opinion.

1. Roleplaying: Does the applicant understand what role-playing means in their own words. This clearly tell if this person understands to become an character and act like he or she is designed to be. Or shows an person who simply thinks of this as an "Final Fantasy" hack and slash game.

2. Biography. Does the applicant's story align to the rules and lore of Lord of the Craft. Has the applicant taken the time to place down details that seems interesting to the person reading it. Has this been just copy and pasted from an past application.

3. The character's faults. No one is made perfect, even if an character is made in Lord of the Craft. There should be an gripping storyline of the character's past history. It makes the character more rounded, realistic.

4.The format of the application. This clearly states if the applicant is dedicated to applying for the game or not. The application is very simple to just copy and past. If they don't use our format, shows they'll not be following the rules in game, if they got accepted.

5. Grammar. This shows if they are committed to role-playing. An person who has good grammar, could go far in the game. But, one needs to understand that there are applications who come from non-English speaking countries and teenagers. And should be consider, since the game could improve their English writing and reading skills.

I go through the pages and re-read every app on this thread based upon their answers given, then comment the thread with a list of those who I have added. I will be adding more soon, especially with minecon coming up.
