Bagabuns 3Rd Applications

[bagabuns 0]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: My Minecraft account name is bagabuns.

How old are you?: I'm 13 turning 14 on August 4th

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Pacific Standard Time and I live in the Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I'm only in 8th grade but I prefer to see "I"s capitalized and prefer not to see "immature" things in the chat, I think I am pretty good with grammar for my age.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Well, my name in real life is Kai, and I exactly don't like to pretend to be someone else, so I gonna make my character like me if I were in those times. So I like to be in a nice active community where everyone is doing something. I play xbox and so sometimes I may not be online but I make time for Minecraft whenever I get the chance.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I can put in 1-5 hours a day (or more depending on what kind of day it is and what is going on in real life), but weekly I can't be exact.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is basically where you act in the shoes of someone you're not. So you pretend to be that character and show what that character knows only.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I played on this server called Cecelia, but I kind of quit because it wasn't the experience I was looking for because they would always just type in chat and do nothing pretty much, but this server I don't think I'm gonna get board of.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is where you basically go outside of the games limits. So say you tp to someone base and write the cords. Then you go to the cords and say you found it. That would be MetaGaming because you didn't actually find it. So MetaGaming is just where you use "eternal factors" to do things in the game. (I had to look it up on wiki to see what I missed in the definition last time)

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Alright so I looked Power-Gaming up, from what I know it is where you use tactics that are unfair or make the game not fun or not enjoyable. Basically where you ruin the game fun for everyone by using unfair tactics, or just being a ****** and not respecting others.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect an awesome community and great wonderful people to meet and make lots of online friends with some fair nice pvp. Also I expect to be able to joke around with nice mature people and not get any stuff put in chat like "guyz can i cum to ur base i need somewhere to stay plz, bagabuns r u gona lets me". Hopefully nobody like that, that stuff is so annoying when  people type like that.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played alot of pvp servers and some roleplay with a tiny bit of vanilla Minecraft. I left them because of the things they had wrong that admins won't fix or just terrible admins. I left all them but one and that one is Grudgeofmine. I'm planning playing both servers (this one more) and just have the ultimate Minecraft experience.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: I have read the rules and agree with them to the max, I think people should at least put in some thought to what their typing.

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

How did you hear about us?: I heard about you guys from one of Petris' old videos when I was looking up "Minecraft role play servers" lol.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: http://www .lordofthe craft.net/ forum/inde x.php?/top ic/52135-b agabuns-ap plication/

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? Kai walks up with his sword out. "What gives you two the rights to harass that halfling like that." Kai shouts at the warriors walking closer to them. "We're just playing with the young chap that's all" One of the warriors says with a grin. "Well I suggest you stop before the guards get here and have you rot in jail for a good time. "Well, the guards won't know about this if nobody is alive to tell it now would they?" They warrior says softly while slowly walking towards to Kai. The halfling runs away when the warriors move their attention towards Kai. The warriors charge Kai and swing towards Kai's shoulder. Kai dodges it and backs up, stabbing the warrior in the stomach. The second one swings at Kai, Kai blocks it and it makes a loud clang. Nearby guards hear the clang and rush over surrounding the scene. "That man saved me, he's the good guy sir!" The halfling told the guard. The guards quickly arrest the warrior still alive and take the one stabbed to a monk for healing. "Hey you, do you need anything?" A guard asked Kai as he was getting up. "Nah I'm fine, I will be on my way if you don't mind though sir, have a nice day." "Farewell then traveler, and welcome to Asulon.".

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? "Hello good trader, what items do you have for sale?" Kai asks with a smile. "Well I got spider eyes, pretty much anything you can think of in these parts of this land." the trader said in a nice voice. Do you got any food, I'm new and need some food." "Well I got some food but it will cost ya some minas." "Well, I don't got any minas but can I work for you to pay it off instead." Kai asks. "Well sure you can, just take these supplies and stand over there selling it to people." Kai walks over there. A few hours later Kai has got 20 minas, he heads over to the merchant to get some food and wishes the trader good luck with his business. "Thank you trader, I will see you around sometime!" Kai shouts as he is walking away.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: Kai wondering in the woods sees a hut in the middle of some trees. He wonders inside, curious if anyone is home, he sees a chest and looks around to see if anyone is near because it is unlocked. "Hello, anybody here!" Kai shouts. No response. He looks in the chest and finds some items. "I better report this stuff to the guards." Kai puts everything back in where is was and walks outside. Closing the door he turns around to a sword pointing at his neck. "All your items on the floor now" a bandit yells at him. "Hehe, another fell for the pathetic trap, why don't we just kill the sucker?" The second bandit says showing himself from the woods. Kai starts backing up into the house. "Lets kill this weakling!" the bandit shouts as he starts charging in the house. Kai grabs the gold sword which was in the chest and cuts the first bandit as he turns the corner. A arrow flies through the window and barely misses Kais head. Kai takes cover and waits looking around for somewhere to escape too. He spots a way out in a hidden trap door in the stairs. Kai crawls to it and opens it up. He finds another chest down there, this time with iron armor and a bow and arrow. He goes out the back of the house and sneaks through the tall grass to the trees. Arrows still being shot at the house by the bandit Kai gets behind him and disarms him. "Your gonna be seeing the guards about this" Kai said while pushing the bandit towards the town firmly. The bandit tries to break lose, Kai grabs him and keeps him still. "Please, I just need money, I'm poor, come on fella what do you say. Can you give me a break." the bandit says trying to look innocent. "It doesn't matter if you're sorry, you can change next time, the crime has been done and the guards are gonna hear about this." Kai said pushing the bandit to the town. When they arrive at the town Kai finds a guard and tells him about what happened. "You want the stuff?" Kai asks holding the stuff he got from the house towards the guard. "Keep it, it's the least we can give you for turning these two in." the guard says as other guards are taking the bandit to the jail.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? Kai just being jumped by bandits is wondering the woods. Hungry he sees a trading camp, Kai goes to ask for food. "Hello you guys got any food, I been traveling all day." Kai asks weakly. The trader turns to Kai and jumps back, "What happened to your face lad, it's all bruised." the trader asks. "Bandits, I turned in some of their members earlier I guess." Kai replies. "Your lucky to be alive, come in come in my tent." the trader says while pulling Kai in gently. "Here's some food, you can stay with us for the night." The trader says when suddenly aloud yelling outside interrupts. "We don't know of anybody who came here, just leave us alone, we don't want trouble please, just go." a traveler says crying. Kai looks outside and sees two bandits, the ones who hurt him earlier outside, "You got to get everyone out of here, I will hold them off as long as I can." Kai said to the trader. Kai stopped outside "Here I am, come get me." The bandits grin. "I'm gonna enjoy finishing cutting your face." The bandits charge Kai, Kai barely ducks in time to dodge the swords. Kai grabs the bandits legs and pulls them up tripping the bandit. The other bandit backs up and runs. Kai turns to the bandit as he is getting up, "Here take my stuff, just let me live, please!" the bandit cries. "Fine, get out of here and if I find you harassing anyone else I will have you in the prison." The bandit scatters and the traders return to the camp. "Wow thanks sir." "That was very courageous of you, thank you." the traders were shouting surrounding Kai. "Well it's anything a normal person will do, right?" Kai says in return to their complements. "Here, you can stay with us for free." Kai slept through the night, woke up to the traders providing nice food for him. "Thanks guys but I best be on my way, see you fine people around." Kai says getting up. They all say their farewells and Kai leaves to continue his journey.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: Kai needing Minas, walks into a town looking for a job. He sees a sign outside, "Bandits eh? Well not like they will be much trouble. Well I'm up for the job." Kai walks in to the tavern the sign says to go to, "Hello, I'm here for the party to take down the bandits outside of town." Kai says to the party leader. "Alright sign here, and here. Alright you're in, the raid starts tomorrow, get some rest." the party leader says. Kai goes goes to the tavern owner and asks for a room, "That would be twenty fi-, wait you're apart of the party going to stop those bandits right?" Kai nods. "Well, how rude of me, take one free, you are saving our town." "Thanks." Kai replies and heads upstairs to his room. He lies thinking of what could happen tomorrow till he drifts off to nights sleep. Kai wakes up at 7:00am and heads outside. When everyone shows up they head to the bandit camp. They snuck up behind some trees. "Archers fire at the towers and take down the ones on the walls! Infantry, CHARGE!!!" Everyone does as their told. Ladders being put up agains the walls and everyone climbing in they storm the bandit camp. On the wall Kai was killed one and turned around. It was an orc, the one he saw back as a child, the orc charged him with two axes. Kai jumping out of the way of them and backed up in a corner. He was trapped, with the orc being much taller than Kai, Kai cut the orcs kneecaps. The orc screamed in rage and Kai ran past the orc behind him. While the orc was screaming he climbed on the orcs back and slit the orcs throat. Jumping off the orc out of breath he went back into the battle. Eventually the bandits surrendered and were taken to the town jail. Kai went up to the party leader, "Hey Kai, you did good today nice job, here's your reward." The party leader said while tossing kai 100 minas, "Thanks, see you around I guess, farewell." Kai said walking away to the city for rest.

Your definition of powergaming is still incorrect. You have found a different definition to be sure, but this definition is incorrect all the same. I suggest that you search for a definition of powergaming pertaining to a roleplay envrionment. Better yet, search for powergaming on our wiki or join in on a team speak (ts.lordofthecraft.net) conversation and ask our veteran players!

You don't seem to understand metagaming in an RP environment. While what you explained may be metagaming in a sense, it is not what we are looking for. Remember this is a roleplay server, so if you metagaming in a roleplaying sort of sense then that will get you banned. Again, teamspeak or our wiki will suffice.

Your application is full of silly spelling mistakes. Check your work before you submit it.

You have not included any (or much) lore from the world of Asulon or the lore you did include contradicts that of Asulon. I recommend that you do a lot of research as to what you race is and how they act, as well as towns and places that you could use in your biography. I would also like to note that the entire server escaped from Aegis about 25 in game years ago to move to Asulon, I suggest you do some research on this point. Do note this is not Skyrim or Lord of the Rings, we have our own universe with our own races. For ideas and lore you can look on the Lord of the Craft wiki (link on the main page), the Role-play or History sections of the forums or better yet; talk to the people themselves. Just join in our Team Speak channel and ask around! We welcome new people :)

You focus too much on Minecraft and not enough on role-play. Lord of the Craft is not set in the Minecraft universe, it has its own universe; full of creation lore, stories and an entire history. This means that things are not limited to “Iron Swords”, “Diamond Hoes”, “Hunger Bars” etc. This is ROLE-PLAY. For example, instead of saying Diamond Sword, you can say all sorts of weapons such as a Claymore, Bastard Sword, Two-Hand Sword, Great sword, Broad Sword, Dirk, Dagger, Shiv, Short Sword, Long sword. The list is endless! Make it REALISTIC not Minecraft, that is where RP splits of from RPG.

You need to complete the entire biography, detailing all your characters history, age, personality and description. We also like to see little role-play quirks such as habits like the constant brushing back of a fringe, or the scratching of an itchy palm.

Every single thing in your application must have a justification. For example:

John’s father taught him swordsman ship and the lay of the land. X BAD

John’s father was a retired swordsman in the Oren military, after the undead attacks and the moving to Asulon he decided it was time that he lay down the sword for more important matters, family. Now days John’s father teaches John the way of the sword, not so that he can join any particular military, but so that he can defend himself for future experiences to come. √GOOD

Currently your character is by far too powerful, or too perfect. I believe that reading this guide would benefit you greatly:

How to avoid roleplaying as a terrible character.

Some or all of your answers to the Open Response questions need a lot of improvement.

You powergamed and godmodded. One does not simply kill bandits. You need to write some REALISTIC rp. Chances are these bandits will kill YOU/knock YOU unconscious. Bandits are players and are very powerful characters. If you are by yourself in-game and you try to just kill bandits you will be banned for no-rp killing (read the rules) or at the very least completely destroyed by the bandits whom have had a lot of combat experience since they are BANDITS. We encourage RP pvp on this server, which means each party will demonstrate their actions through emotes. When responding to this situation you need to write DETAILED and DESCRIPTIVE responses. This means no "slices through the bandits neck" but write what your character aimed for, how much force he put in, what weapon he was using, how the bandits responded, what tools they are using, how they used them, how they blocked/parried/dodged, their skills and abilities. You have so much to write, this is what we expect of you.

This is the BEST roleplaying minecrat server and as such you need to be on par with the rest of the server in terms of RP skill. Those who display sub-standard RP skills should not be allowed onto the server lest they make everyone else's minecraft experience bad.

If you have any questions about my feedback, or would like to create some constructive criticism about the way I give feedback (I.E am I being TOO blunt, or am I coming across rude) then please send me a message! I take all questions, none are stupid! :) You are not allowed to apply again for a full 24 hours.
