Your application was denied for:

- Your Metagaming Definition is Incorrect.

While you have a contestable example here, you need to be specific. I am not convinced that you thoroughly know what Metagaming is. It also doesn't even make sense. You're allowed to call someone by their name while roleplaying. I'll redirect you to a link where you can find how we define some roleplaying terms here at Lord of the Craft:

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Roleplaying

- Your Powergaming Definition is Contestable.

While your example is slightly contestable, you need to be more specific and perhaps elaborate more upon its' meaning. Take a look at the above look to further your knowledge of how we define some key roleplaying terms here at Lord of the Craft.

- Your Open Response Questions Lack Detail and Effort.

The overall content is lacking, and could be expanded upon much more.

- Your Character Breaks RP by speaking perfect english.

Orcs speak a MUCH different language then Humans and I did see you made an attempt to try to alter it but they are very hard to roleplay for most new roleplayers. Here is an example of some of the orcish language.

- It breaks RP for an orc to be able to speak English perfectly, our large tusks make speaking very difficult and it would take years of practice.

- Orcs don't say "Hail" they say "Ug."

Some other examples:

- All Orcs are to speak "The Blah" (ProTip #1: Just spell everything horrible wrong and throw in a few words from the language post)

Example #1: English: "You have crossed the War Nation vile thief, you shall feel the wrath of my mighty axe!"

Blah: Lat hahb crozzed dah War Uzg stuuped shara, lat will bi flattened bi dah wrath uf mi mightee lusk!"
