What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:

Roleplaying is when you play as a character that's not you. your taking a character and picking your personality, appearances etc. you then take that character and play as he or she should act. Its another life for me. Example: If I was a bandit and I saw a merchant I'd rob him when he was out of the city or town, or when no ones around.

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

Metagaming is when you use out of the game information. it would be like saying hello and saying there name even though they have yet to announce it. Powergaming is when you are god modded. you are the best and you beat everyone. Example: 10 bandits encircle you. You run up to the first bandit and stab him. grab his sword cut him in half. Do a back flip throwing knives everywhere until the last on face you. You grab his throat lift him up and stab him in the gut with your free hand.

I have looked at many servers and all of them just did not feel right. This server looks like the server that you always stay with. I hope that it will be a really amzing role playing server. With tons of things to do.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

I lived 10 miles west of Elandriel. I was small when my mom died in front of me. about 4. the memory of her is still stained in my brain. The arrow that pierced her was of one of the bandits. He came through our hut and stole everything. My uncle found me while coming to see his sister. He raised me as a father would. His son and daughter called me names sometime cause of my blond hair. I got used to it and I beat them in everything especially archery. Everyday I embarrassed them as I was 30 years younger. I was a natural born fighter, and even though my parents were dead and lost I always asked that they would see me. I was 22 by then and i knew i wouldn't be able to stay.

once I turned 24 I left to search for a new home away from the constant Bickering of others. I went out into the wilds to start my knew life. I found a small town way away from the nations of Asulon. i convinced around half of the people there to follow me. The people were a micture of Humans, and elves. The two ship's i found were huge with 3 masts. The captin was frienly and thought he knew of a good island to start there knew life. till we found the island we layed out on the deck. My search came to an end as I saw the wonderful place. The best island I've ever seen I built a home with my crew and we started to grow. We went to the coast of small towns and brought many travelers. We had tons of people. We had a large town. My town was built. The kids played and the parents worked. I found peace for once in my life

By then I was 98 and we were a kingdom and the nations Asulon helped us grow. I was a peaceful man until i kept seeing visions of my mother being killed. i decided from then on i would not rest until i found my mothers murderer.

Appearance. Blond wavy hair, blue eyes, and has a white hood over his head most of the time,

Personality. Funny, helpful, and always seems to attract bandits

Your characters ambitions: To kill the bandit who murder his mother find his father, and settle down with kids of his own.

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? I see the elf, wanting to help, but the man that killed my mother ran and if I stopped I might have to completely start over again. As I watched the elf fending the bandits off, but losing. I decide to help. I grab my bow. I completely stretch out the bow and I fire. The arrow hitting the target. In the confusion the elf strikes down the other bandit. He gives me a quick thank you as i run after the man who killed my father.

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? "No, thank you i'm fine." I say

As I walk away the man says "If you act like that you may get robbed."

I don't listen to the grouch. But I should of. Once I walk to the tavern i see some shaddy men up to no good. Wanting a bed for the night a go into the tavern. I look around and hear the door shut. i waltz in and the door opens i turn around to see the merchent. he hits me square in the nose. I find my head slammed to a table. I pick my head up and while the merchent runs at me i spin around him and shove his face into the table. he triede to pick his face up but i grab his hair pull it back and slam his forehead on the table. All eyes are on me while his face slams into the ground. i walk up to the Keeper and order a dinner.

Your application has been:

But don't lose 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.

This is why you were denied:

Your definition for powergaming contains some incorrect information.

While your example contains powergaming, your definition is incorrect as powergaming is not "[being] the best and you beat everyone." While that may be some things that a powergamer could do, in essence it is different. To find out the correct definition go to this link: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page and search for powergaming in the search bar.

Your biography contains some lore-breaking information.

Whilst it is a major improvement from your other applications, you nation does not currently exist. Perhaps that can be one of your ambitions, but no where in the wiki does it state there is a nation that is on an island which you described. Try to include something a little less game-changing in your application then creating a whole new nation.

Your RP situation contains powergaming and No-RP killing.

You must first engage in RP before you can just fire at someone. If you did that in-game you could get banned for No-RP killing. Your character presumes he is successful without even giving the bandit a chance to dodge or retaliate to your attack. Be more descriptive with your attacks, and let the bandits at least try to attack you back.

The link to your skin still does not work.

Please fix up this link, and then embed it in your application with the following tutorial:

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.

(Does this tutorial even work? It works for me, but I swear no one ever listens to me and uses it >.>)

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

Please do send a PM my way if you are having any trouble understanding the application process or my feedback, I would be glad to help you. :)

Good luck for your next application!
