Your application has been:

But don't loose hope! After two days you can re-apply which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application and plan it out, as well as use all the advice I am about to give you to make it spot on. Also check out the links at the bottom of this page, trust me they really help.

I noticed you deleted the little tags for what ever reason. Make sure that you leave them at the end of the question (DO NOT add them to the end of your answer) so that it makes the questions in bold. For example, it would look like this:


[u]Out-Of-Character:[/u] Jonathan


[b]Minecraft Account Name:[/b] Whoba


[b]Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:[/b]No


[b]How old are you?:[/b] 14

And turn out like this:

Out-Of-Character: <--(By the way, this is not a question :P)

Minecraft Account Name: Whoba

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:No

How old are you?: 14

See the difference?

You biography is missing some information, namely the "age, appearance and personality" part. Make sure you include this into your application next time.

I would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question and make sure for the combat question you abide by the rules of combat for the server. In role-play you will need to warn a villain before engaging in combat. At least a couple of lines from each person is needed for combat to initiate or it is considered a no-rp kill and you can get banned on the server for it. Do not just write:

I suddenly pull out my sword and kill the bandits. Then I ask the elf for money for helping him.

Write a dialogue as well as the actions of all those involved. This goes as well for the shop question, do not just write a single line, write a full scene. Write the actions of all involved in the situation and what they say, how they interact with each other.

I want to see how good you REALLY ARE at RPing and I want you to try as hard as you can when answering these questions.

You have not included a skin. For me to accept you I must be able to view your skin as I need to judge whether it is acceptable for this server.

1. Go in-game and press the “F5” button TWICE. (Not once as this will show the back of your character)

2. Take a screen shot by pressing the "PrntScr" button on a windows computer or press F2 on the keyboard, then go to start => Run and type in this: %appdata%/.minecraft/screenshots

3. Find the screenshot and open it in an image manipulation program such as Paint or Gimp.4. Crop the image so that only the area close to your skin (including the skin) remains.

5. Save the file and go to tinypic.com

6. Upload the file

7. Click ONCE on the text box underneath: "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

8. Right click and copy the entire text

9. Paste in your new application

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
