DaveTheBraves New Application

[DaveTheBrave 2]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:My minecraft account name is davidhill96.

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:No, I did not attend Minecon, I wish I could have gone though. I will go next time to defiantly sign up at the Lord Of The Craft booth.

How old are you?:I am 16 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:GMT+0, London, mainlands.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:Yes, I have full capability of the English language, although I occasionally do make mistakes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:When I get time I will normally be bmxing, although as I live in England going out side (most of the time) is not normally too cold or wet :S, so when I'm at home I'll be gaming on my computer, I play minecraft, Counter Strike, Team Fortress and many more. At home I spend most of my time playing minecraft, this could be 3+ hours a day.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:I think I could spend 20 hours a week on this server, minimum.

What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?:Role playing games (RPG), are where the players act out there own character in a fictional world, by literal acting in a narrative or making decisions that change the games feel, in a game such as "Mass Effect". There are different types of Role Playing, the one that I think that Lord of The Craft Uses is Live Action Role Play, where you physically perform your characters' actions.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.

Metagaming: Metagaming is normally a strategy or a action game, Meta games take information from out side of the game and use these as factors to effect the game.

Powergaming: Powergaming is the way you feel about playing the game it is only to play to win or to win a prize, not what a game is created for, witch is to have fun. Power gaming is doing something that your character wouldn't want to do such as, if the character didn't like interacting with others and he bought a house in the busy town centre.

What do you expect this server will be like?:A brilliant experience with great role play, also at the same time a new and unique environment, witch would be topped off by the great staff on the server, plus the rules that all the players follow.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on vindi craft, I left because it was getting a bit boring and there were admin abusers that were treating people unfairly. I have also played on vault craft, I left because there weren't enough players. I left lost Craft as the world was ruined and they wouldn't even attempt to fix. I have played on many other servers but I left because of all the same reasons.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:With out a doubt, it would be a waste of my time and the admins time to allow a clueless member into the game who does not know the rules and will get banned because of there ill informed behaviour.

How did you hear about us?:One of my mates from school showed me an awesome youtube video through Reckreations youtube channel.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? I have voted and will keep on voting each time I open my browser, I stress that I did vote but I wasn't given a vote number, so I took a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/ididvote.jpg/

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?:My forum account name is Davethebrave.

In-Character:

Character Name: My character name is Davethebrave.

What is your Race?: I am a Human Northerner.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Davethebrave is 6 Foot 3 broad male with dark brown hair and a black beard, he is well dressed and tries his best to fit in. He does not care what people say about his views and beliefs, He is Strong willed and a Determined individual and is will speak his mind and do what’s right where needed. Davethebrave is a 38 year old man who started off his career as a black smith in the city of Oren, when he started struggling with his business, because of a competitor who used cheap labour, Davethebrave decided to pick up shop and leave the city, he took him self on a long and lonesome journey, and all of a sudden there shined a shiny undead in the middle of the road and he said "fight me or I'll make you a slave!", so Davethebrave stared into his eyes and said "...ok.." so Dave picked up the very first thing that came to hand and it just so happened to be, a epicly awesome sword of justice! He sliced at the undead's body, needless to say the beast was stunned, a quick arrow to the face and the undead was done. The demon then asked Dave "are you ascended" and Dave said "No!...I am but man!", Davethebrave smited the undead back to the depths of the nether where he came from. With triumph came great pride and courage, so he returned back to his birth place in Al-khazar and relocated to a better location and made thousands of minas in his new blacksmith business, now Dave is selling his wares to the elven race and doesn’t trust the orc as much as other races, because in the past he had a quarrel with a group of Orcs over his shiny armour (because we all know Orcs like shiny stuff).

Your characters ambitions:To help the Human community grow in intelligence and establish trade with other races.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? Davethebrave dose not care for other peoples squabbles who are not a friend or in the same guild as Davethebrave, and has more important thing on his mind, so he leaves the scene.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? ”Ah, I didn't see you there, Hello” “I would like some hot food please” “How much will that cost?”,”very good, thank you good bye!”

Other Information: Please accept me as a part of the Lord Of The Craft community; I assure you I will be a helpful individual and put as much time and effort into playing on the server as I possibly can.

Thank you for reading.

Yours Sincerely Davethebrave

Please do not repost your application within 48 hours. Take this time to expand upon your character, proof-read your application, read up on server lore and rules and fix the problems with your app. Feel free to contact me on either the Teamspeak channel or through the forums if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

#1 You show ample evidence of powergaming/mary sue-ing. You somehow magically find this overpowered sword instant winning and then, while still wielding this sword, you put an arrow into your foe presumably via a bow you were wielding... one handed? Orcs are also not mindless beings that sit there and go "oooo shiney" they are every bit as intelligent as other races and, while there are those individual orcs who choose to have an obsession with shiny objects, are not inexplicably drawn to shiny.

#2 You definition of Metagaming is... wrong at first than better later. Please try to clean this up a little.

#3 your answer to the tavern scenario question is shoddy, confusing, and hard to read. Please expand upon this and give it the time it deserves.
