What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know very little about Roleplaying, because I have never experienced it. After my first application failed, I went and researched what Roleplaying is. From what I understand now Roleplaying is a community writing their own community's history, and making it up as they go. They do not know how it will end, but they do know that when its done it will have been worth the time spent. Roleplaying is also a great way to experience something you may never experience in your life. You can live the life of someone or something else, exploring what its like to be them. In the end, the most basic breakdown of what Roleplaying is, is that its just a more mature way of using your imagination.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have had no experience in Roleplaying.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is when you use OOC knowledge to make IC decisions. For example, if your in a Skype call with a person and they accidentally say their character name and you haven't met them in game and you address them with their character name, that is Meta-Gaming.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is when you make yourself nearly or completely invincible without giving other players a fair chance to react or respond to the situation you have given them. For example, if you walk up to a player in the wilderness and say "Silnar runs up and stabs (player) in the back, leaving him dead with no belongings." That is considered Power-Gaming.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect this server to be a cunning new side to Minecraft and its game play filled with people who know how to role-play very well. I expect meeting a lot of friendly people and have a lot of fun doing so.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on mcpvp.com. I spent around 4 months on mcpvp.com, and quit because of the recent update. The update caused a server restart and a new map, and I didn't see the same fun in doing the same repetitive things. That was my only real server I played on. The rest of my Minecraft time was set aside for SSP.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? "Its best me play it safe and not get fully involved in other people's affairs. I will just ask what the problem is. The little guy might have offended the two warriors and they are attempting to get their money back." Me slowly walked over to the two towering warriors and me ask them what they are doing with the small man. They tell me to leave and I decide to use me mind-swaying verbal tactics. "Say, ye boys don't just want ta drop this situation and have an ale over this? We can straighten this out at the next Inn. I'm sure if we make this reasonable we can work this out. We don't want anyone getting hurt, do we?" The warriors quietly discuss something amongst themselves, and agree to settle this at the Inn. We walked to the Inn in silence, with deep tension. After a few drinks and the tension has been broken, the warriors tell them that the Halfling owes them a hefty fee, but do not state why. The Halfling and the warriors come to an agreement to see that the Halfling gets an extended time period to pay off his debts and me get a good reason to have a few ales. Me feel very accomplished and realize me might have just saved a life.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? "'Ey there, me friend. What kind of wares are you willing to barter for?" The merchant shows me items he claims to be from a place called the "Nether". Me notice de very high price on a glowing stone, and me starts to barter with the merchant. "Sir, de price is outrages. What do you say I pay half, and we both walk away happy, ey?" The merchant did not give in, and tells me to go barter somewhere else. "Eh, to hell with ya." I then continues to wander Alras.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: Me realizes this might turn out to be someone else's hard earned property, and me does not want to take anything. I search around for any recent signs of activity, but me find none. Me decide to leave the chest and the hut, and continue to the nearest town.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? "'Ello my friends. Are ye' selling any tents to stay in?" The trader agreed to set up an extra tent for me for a decent price. I go up and buy half a loaf of bread from a different merchant, and then me spend the night in the tent. In the morning me walks up to the traders and i ask them for the location to town. After they point me in the right direction, I thank them and proceed on me journey.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: "'Ay better not get involved in this. This seams very risky." Me decided to help without violence. I walk over to the head guard and speak to him about his idea on how they should tackle the situation. I notice a very bad flaw in his plan. If he were to cross the river to get around to the bandit camp, he would lose a lot of men, due to the night time look outs they have placed. After having a long talk about tactics, I help the guard realize the flaw in his plan. The guard thanked me and told me to mention his name at the local Inn for a free stay. I wish him a mighty amount of luck.
