Your application has been:

Denied

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After 24 hours you may apply again which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application, plan it out as well as use all of this advice which I have given you in this post to make your application one of the best. Please check the links at the bottom of this post, they will help you quite a bit.

You have been denied because:

Your metagaming definition could be clearer.

While it is technically correct, could you please re-word the definition so that it makes more sense.

Your definition for powergaming is incorrect.

You have an incorrect definition for powergaming, Luckily for you there are plenty of ways to learn the correct definition. First of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for "Powergaming", you can join our Team Speak channel (You can get Team Speak from http://teamspeak.com/?page=downloads ), or you can do a google search.

To find your vote number look at the total number of votes for this server, because you were the latest to vote, this number is your vote number.

Your skin is in the wrong format.

Your character skin is a tiny .png file that we cannot use to judge if your skin is RP enough or not. (although it would be possible to download it or view it in a skin editor, we application team members are extremely busy and do not have the time to do this.) To upload a correct image of your skin to the forums please follow these steps:

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.

Your answers to the RP situation questions needs a lot of work.

You need to write at least a paragraph for EACH question. Explain the movements and descriptions of every single character and piece of furnature/building/anything else that is in the scene. Do not just be lazy and write: "He would pay the guards." They are not even guards, they are just armed men trying to extort money.

Basically be creative, be innovative and be unique, but above all be realistic.

Please wait 24 hours or your application will be instantly denied.

This gives you a chance to have a cup of tea and read all of which I have provided, then give you a break and a fresh mind to re-write your application in the required areas. This is also to prevent the spamming of applications, as if there was no limit we would be absolutely swamped with applications.

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!
