In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as (in video games, boardgames, and roleplaying games) storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie. Due to its focus on the letter of the rules over the spirit of the rules, it is often seen as unsporting, un-fun, or unsociable. This behaviour is most often found in games with a wide range of game features, lengthy campaigns or prize tournaments such as role-playing, massively multiplayer or collectible games.[

Why did I deny you?

Your definition of metgaming was incorrect...

Your metagaming definition did not properly show and outline what you need to know. Use examples, make sure that we are aware of your exact knowledge of the term, and how to avoid using it. Without that, we cannot accept this definition, because this shows that you may unknowingly use it ingame as you are not certain of the uses and meaning of the term.

Your definition of powergaming was incorrect...

Your powergaming definition was incorrect. This is a roleplaying server, where you make your own path, not an RPG where you select skills, grind mobs, etc. This is a server that we use our imaginations on! The form of powergaming you mentioned was the type only seen in RPGs. Our type of powergaming is more focused on player to player reactions and how these reactions play out. I will not give you any further information, you will have to find that out yourself.

Your definition of roleplaying was incorrect...

Your roleplaying defintion was incorrect. It did not hold all the information that you need to know in regards to roleplaying in the world of Asulon. You need to know how to do it correctly, and thus, you cannot be accepted without us knowing that you know what it means.

Your ORQs were incredibly short...

Short answers in the ORQ section are not adequate. We need to know what your character sees, thinks, smells, feels and hears in that situation, to an extent that we are there, and we know exactly how your character would react if it were allowed into the world of Asulon.

Your ORQs were in the future tense...

You answered your ORQs in the future tense. Your character is there right now, in that situation, and he is acting right now. There is no 'I would' there is 'Bob IS'. For he is there, and he is in that circumstance. You need to roleplay as you would on the server, as your character would. He is there, what is he doing? Is he running? Is he fighting? He does not get to plan ahead, there is no ‘would’ there is ‘is’ and ‘are’. Present, not future.

Your biography was short and did not hold lore...

Your biography was quite frankly appalling, it did not hold any lore regarding anything, did not hold your character's personality, quirks, flaws, any personal issues, any family issues, nothing. Give more depth to your character.

Also, you copied your definitions straight from wikipedia. I am giving you one last chance to do this right, no plagarism.
