http://http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=5897Out-Of-Character:Minecraft Account Name:MAX1217

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:no I did not

How old are you?:I am fourteen (14) years old

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:Great Britain and GMT+0

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:yes I do have a good grip on the English language.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:I am a boy and I go to a cathedral school. I row and play warhammer 40,000 and like minecraft.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:roughly 12 hours a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:Rolepay is when someone takes on a character and pretends to be them in various situations lik eacting in a play but you write some of that play.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Meta-gaming is when you take information from outside the game and use it in game like when you watch a YouTube video about a server then memorising the co-ordinates of the videos makers house then joining the server and greifing it and Power-gaming is when you force something on another player without them having a chance to react to it. for instance I could type "macsen_gwledig stabs gary_harold through the back" and tell him he's dead that would be power-gaming as he did not have a chance to react. I think that power-gaming takes away the drama of an RP kill.

What do you expect this server will be like?:I think that this server will be a fun and exiting place to play.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on Scandicraft (on which I am a VIP+)which I am waiting to update to 1.2.3 and various other SMP servers

In-Character:

Character Name:Macsen_Gwledig

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Ispent my early years aboard the sailing ship Orion with my father who was the captain of the ship all through her life. I was taught by the cook on board the ship as my father was too busy to teach me, but I did learn how to cook and brew various meals and drink, and later on to fight with a bow and sword, though the bow was always my strong point, I soon became a bright young man, I even defended the Orion from a creeper attack (which is where I got my creeper skin) at the age of twelve. I left the Orion on my 25th birthday to explore the land of asulon.

I am deathly afraid of squids (as I was attacked by one when I was young) and hate mushrooms but I can cook any meal you would like. I am a kind young man who is always willing to help someone out and good with a bow but not very good with a sword. I don’t like fighting unless it saves many people and I think that now the undead are gone that the nations will grow tired of peace and wage war with each other.

Your characters ambitions:I would like to set up an inn by some crossroad somewhere or top explore as my father does.

Open-Response-Questions

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 would find a high spot and ready my bow before shouting “leave at once, on pain of death!” and if they don’t leave I would start firing at the bandits and afterwards (if we are victorious) I will give the elf a few minas and be on my way

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? "Why hello" I would say "what are you selling today?" “I have a half price coal sale going if you are interested" I then notice the bow hanging behind the merchant. "How much will ye accept for the bow?" he looks at it and reads the tag "ah you like it don't you? Well it's real elvish workmanship on this 15 minas, if you're interested?" I'll reply “yes please good sir, will you accept 12 minas?" "Certainly young man, if you tell people of the great deals at Mr. Morgan’s Mini Markets” I pay the man and take the bow “thank you".

A screenshot of your skin:

my computer is blocking it for some reason so heres it in a file

sorry

Other Information:I hate people who fight for no reason and drinking (I like a glass or two but seven is too much for me) especially when I am about to cook (I need a high level of concentration when I’m cooking)

Why did I deny you?

Your skin didn't exactly suit the server. For starters, he had a creeper cape. We don't have creepers in Asulon, nor did we ever see them in Aegis. For a human to have one strung across his back, after entering Asulon is un RP. Also, that is a VERY popular skin, and we try to use more unique skins and suchlike.

Also, this only really affected your ORQs, but please use the NEW format. It has 3 extra Open Response Questions, and will give us more incentive to accept you if you pay attention and use it.
