• ___________________________________

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

Please remember and wait 24 hours before re-applying.

Notes for applicant:

Mainly because you ignored the 24 hour reposting rule.

• Your definition of metagaming is a bit... distant - it doesn't really show me that you know what metagaming is.
• Your definition of roleplaying is a bit odd as well. Try expanding upon both of the above - it'll help you with your application.
• Your character is not developed in the slightest. You should actually create a character before joining, otherwise you won't be able to roleplay. Let me just point you here.
• Your open-response questions are just lacking in effort, and don't provide any kind of detail.
• Your application just generally - has had barely any effort put into it.

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

I'll just take the quote from my signature, so you have an idea of how to make a good application:

Hello Mister / Madame Server applicant! This part of my signature is dedicated to helping you!

I'm a member of the Application Team, and I have been for quite some time, so reading this will probably help you with your application.

One thing that the application team hate to see, is applications that have had no effort put into them - it's just horrible. You should put as much time as you can possibly spend into making your applications - it shows and pays off.

Formatting is an important part in your application. As you should notice, our application form actually has colour codes to it - you should use them. However, you should only have the questions themselves as coloured, don't make it all in colour, as it practically kills our eyes.

Click here for that analysis.

There's a lot of guides around regarding applications, from the definitions of powergaming and metagaming to in-depth analysis' of the form. I was the author of the current application format (along with the help of a few other members of the application team), so I think it's safe to say - that reading the following thread will be a great help to you. It's a thread that I made that actually details every question in the application form, and why I put them there, and what we want from them.

Another extremely important part of your application is your definitions of powergaming and metagaming. So many people go and copy and paste answers, and expect us to not notice - I mean, we're "pro" at noticing copy and pastes. If you have an application that everything except the definitions is in lower case, and text talk, but the definitions of powergaming and metagaming are properly spelt, contain proper grammar and are neat then it's quite obviously stolen. We are also able to easily tell if you've gone and taken your definitions from wikipedia - as we know those definitions practically off by heart. You are allowed to go and google the definitions, but when you post your application, all we ask is that it's in your own words. You can read the definitions on Wikipedia, as long as when we get to reading your application, you've put it in your own words, without any copying and pasting.

When creating an application, it is important to have a good and believeable character. You ain't going to be accepted if you try and join as a seven thousand year old wizard, named Gandalf who is able to swing a sword like a god. Why? Well - this isn't Lord of the Rings, so Gandalf isn't a suitable name. You're character is powergaming if he has lived for seven thousand years. You can't join as a wizard, as all magic has to be learnt in-game, and a wizard who is that old will barely be able to walk - let alone swing a heavy iron sword.

Your character should be original. That means no "my parents were killed by orcs" or "my village was raided" - why can't your parents still be alive, and happy? Nobody ever seems to have their parents alive.

just click here for it.

I'm going to point you towards a really helpful thing I wrote up a short while ago, which will help you make yourself an exciting, original and well thought through character,

We really do enjoy seeing well thought through, and heavily worked on applications - so try and impress us, be creative, but most of all - try your hardest.

Finally - I'm one of those people that wants to help you. If you need help with your application, or don't understand why you were denied, then please do throw a PM or email my way - and I will happily help you. Alternatively, you can add me on Skype, or find me on TeamSpeak. Good luck!

Where can I get help to fix these errors?

I suggest PM'ing me for any further help.

It really depends on what you need – you are not allowed to have anyone elsewrite part of your application for you. As the Application Team we'rehere 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 deniedyou, (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 ofthe time, either in the “Application Team” channel or in one ofthe 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 weredenied, as there's some good help out there, already written foranyone who needs it!

The Wiki 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 onthe website, although you can also find quite a bit in the World History and Roleplay Forum Sections. You can find the wiki here:

http://www.lordofthe...?wakka=HomePage . The forum sections I mentioned can be found on the www.lordofthecraft.net/forum main page.

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

right here.

Can Ire-apply?

Of course you can! Often people post as many as 3 applications beforethey're accepted! Just make sure, that you wait until after 24 hours before you re-apply or your application will be denied. We have the 24 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.
