[MikeDudeNL 0]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: MikeDudeNL

How old are you?: 20

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: The Netherlands GMT+1

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: It's not perfect, since I'm Dutch. But it is definitely good enough for everyone to understand exactly what I'm saying.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I've been interested in RP gaming for some time now. I have played for a few years in some very strict GTA SA Roleplay servers. And I have even been a admin in some. I'm a mature person, and like to RP realistically.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Every day, a couple of hours.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Well, what I like about it, is that you create your own story. In RP, whatever happens to your characer or whoever you meet, will be in the story of his life. So, if you have been playing the same character for over a year, at the end you can look back at that single character's whole background. It's a nice idea, that you created that.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Played over 6 years in GTA SA Roleplay servers. These servers were very strict, and had very high standards of RP.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Using info that you OOCly know for your char. For example, if your character doesn't know there are rebels ambushing innocent civilians on that road you always take. But you OOCly heard this was going on. And you use this OOC information in game. Then, it's metagaming.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Doing things that would be completely impossible IRL. Always be realistic. And forcing something upon another character without proper RP.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I really hope it will have a high standard of RP, and I hope that with my experience, I can even improve the standards of some RPers.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: To be honest, almost none on minecraft. I have been looking for a good RP server since I bought minecraft. The most RPG servers I get bored in, because noone is willing to RP. I am glad I finally found a server that (by the looks of it) Has proper RP going on.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I did.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Yes, I do.

How did you hear about us?: Looked for a good RP server.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Not yet, but I will right after this application.

-Although you added a bit more to your definition of powergaming it is still a bit off. Feel free to PM me if you're having trouble with that.

-I know you added lore into your biography like you were asked but it is a little off. For example we are now in Asulon not Aegis. Things get confusing so you may also message me with any lore related questions.
