Amortik1996 's Second Application

[Amortik1996 0]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name: Amortik1996

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: Nay.

How old are you?: 15

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Eastern

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Aye, but I tend to misspell occasionally.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I love Minecraft, and I am looking for a good server for my Let's Plays on YouTube, plus I like to role-play. I also play World of Warcraft and I role-play somewhat on that, I understand the basics.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: About 20, at least 10.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Role-playing means taking upon a role and acting it out. I know that role-playing is fun and enjoyable.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.: Metagaming- Is having your character make decisions, actions out, or discuss information that he couldn't of realistically obtained in-character.

Powergaming- Giving the other player no chance to react to your emotes or actions.

Example of Powergaming-

Al'Groth smiles at the goblin and greets him, "Hello."

The goblin growls and whacks Al'Groth in the head with the butt of his sword, knocking him out.

*Note: Al'Groth didn't have a chance to react to the goblins emote. Naturally you would have to roll and the highest roll wins.*

Example of Metagaming: An example of metagaming would be using the chat to find out other characters names without your character knowing them previously or asking them. Another example would be using nameplates to find people, you character cannot see the nameplates but your OOC-self can. So that's considered metagaming.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I've watched my friend play on it. It seems pretty nice and fun.

Character Name: Al'Groth

What is your Race?: Elf

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

At first sight, during his birth, Al'Groth appeared to be a strong elf. As he grew his light blue eyes darkened like his blonde hair. When he started training at age 15 he was kind and sweet but 5 years after he started his constant training hardened his personality. He became somewhat crude and mean but managed to be kind in most cases. He became agile and grew to be 7'1". His hair brown hair remained above his large dark blue eyes. There was no imperfection on his face what-so-ever.

At the age of 20, Al'Groth could leap from tree to tree without ease, but he was forced to leave Aegis, he left on a different boat than his parents, he hoped to start his journey in the new world as he left the old one. At first he thought about becoming a druid, but nature wasn't his thing. Then he thought about being a prince, he liked the idea but he a little more military-wise, he liked the idea of becoming a general. He was agile and a great archer. From there on, he began his journey to become something great and powerful.

Your characters ambitions:

Al'Groth wants to become a rich and famous elf, maybe a prince or a general. Al'Groth also wants to be strong and powerful but not evil unlike most people he seek power.

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?

Al'Groth yells, "Are you okay?"

*Al'Groth seeing the man not able to answer he jumps into action, wielding his trusty bow.*

Bandit #1 peers over at Al'Groth, "Now, now, ye don't want teh start somethin' do ya?"

*Al'Groth pulls back an arrow, aiming at the bandits.*

Al'Groth grins and says, "Leave the poor elf alone, or I'll 'ave te handle ye myself."

*Bandit #2 charges at Al'Groth*

Al'Groth sighs frustrated, and shouts, "I warned you."

*Al'Groth releases the arrow, the arrow strikes the side of the bandits helmet and he scatters in fear.*

Bandit #1 frowns slightly, and yells angerly, "Ye coward! I'll 'ave fun ripping ye into pieces."

*Al'Groth reloads his bow, pulling farther back. He squints one eye and aims carefully.*

*Bandit #1 unsheaths his sword and charges after Al'Groth, shouting "Die ye pathetic elf!"

*Al'Groth releases his arrow, firing into the bandits breast.*

*Bandit #1 slows down and looks down at his chest, realizing that he is defeated. He then cowers away.*

*The elf then thanks the hero for his honorable act.*

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?:

Al'Groth inspects the shop, "Do ye 'ave any arrows fer sale?"

*The shopkeeper inspects the storage and frowns, "Nay, I do not. Perhaps ye should check te shop down te road."

*Al'Groth frowns and leaves some Minas for the information and exits the shop in search for some arrows.*

______________________________________

I'm sorry, but your application for Lord of the Craft has been...

Notes for applicant:

• Your name isn't an elvish name.
• Leaping from tree to tree without fault is powergaming.
• That isn't an elvish skin.

Please note: Whilst you may be angry or irritated at this denial, you need to understand that as a member of the Application Team it is my job to ensure we only have people who made great applications on the server. After you fix the issues that I've detailed in your application, it will probably be accepted.

Where can I get help to fix these errors?

It really depends on what you need – you are not allowed to have anyone else write part of your application for you. As the Application Team we're here to not only accept and deny your applications, but it's our job to give you help for fixing them. We'll help you as much as we can, but we will never write a bit of your application, no matter how much you ask!

The best way to get help, is to contact the Application Team member who denied you, (in this case, myself; Danny). You can contact me either here on the forums, via a PM – or you can also find me on TeamSpeak most of the time, either in the “Application Team” channel or in one of the private channels. Feel free to poke me, or send me a message for any help, and I'll try my best to help you!

I'd also suggest that you do some reading up, depending on why you were denied, as there's some good help out there, already written for anyone who needs it!

The WikiYou provides almost every scratch of lore that we have, there's people dedicated to expanding on it, and making it as detailed as possible. It's possibly the best place to find lore on the website, although you can also find quite a bit in this forum section.

You should also read the various posts that have been made by GM's and Application Team members to help with your applications, and believe me, there are many. The most useful is the “Application Team's Advice” thread. Which can be found

right here.

Can I re-apply?

Of course you can! Often people post as many as 3 applications before they're accepted! Just make sure, that you wait until after 2 hours before you re-apply or your application will be denied. We have the 2 hour wait system to keep the Application Submissions forum tidy, and to ensure that the application team aren't overwhelmed by applicants posting a new application every five minutes.
