What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:I know a lot about Roleplaying, I know that roleplaying is about being your own character that you made up, you have to do everything that character would do, if you did anything besides that would be very unusual, people would think it would be you, because your supposed to on a roleplaying server to act like your own player, or person. You have to do everything the character you made you would have to do anything that character would do.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:I've played on a lot of Roleplay servers. But the only thing i hate about the ones i've played on is that they don't take Roleplay seriously, there characters are very poor, i found this server on youtube and it looks very into Roleplay. This might sound a little weird, but i actually film , i was one the Characters and i would play his Role, during the film we were making.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming

is when you take information form the outside world and put inside the game, as in putting the information in your Rolplaying Character. Say that i get attacked by villains, then they kill me If i went to that same place and that i knew that they just attacked me, and if i went to go attack them i would be Meta-gaming, because i took information from outside world and put it in the game.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is when you do something to a player without letting them to react to the action that you just did. Lets say I was on the road traveling to anther city, and i ran into a person who killed me right away when i could not react to him. He gave me no time to give him a reason why hey should kill me. The person who killed me never gave me a chance to react.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I think that Lord Of The Craft will be all for Roleplaying, and have good fair Admins. Lord of the craft seems it will be against Power-Gaming and Meta-Gmaing. I saw that there are a lot of good custom plugins, on this server, wich i love.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:I played on a server called Battlecraft it was a Faction and Roleplaying server, the rules were not as tight as i wanted, there were to many people who would power game, even thought that it said on the rules that there is no power gaming allowed, so i left the server ,because i just kept getting power gamed.

Denied.

Your roleplay definition goes off track and doesn't define the term, but more so says what you shouldn't do.

Your definition of metagaming is skewed, as the information would still pertain to the world you were in; there is simply a thirty minute rule. Your definition is muddled and lacks complete understanding.

Your example of powergaming is confusing, and the overall definition could be expanded upon. Again you fail to demonstrate clear understanding of the term. Powergaming goes beyond simply combat, it deals with the realism of your character, and the scenario. For instance if you were dealt a fatal blow and continued moving like nothing had happened, that is powergaming. If you broke the context of your character, for instance were an orphan on the side of the road, with no combat skills what so ever, and somehow was able to wield an iron sword and kill people, that would be power gaming. Think in terms of realism!

Your biography is fair, but lacks lore related material. The only thing you talk about is Kal'Urguan and the Undead attacking. You do not talk about how you came to Asulon, and what you did to get set up, which leads me to believe you haven't fully read the lore.

Your ambition lacks reasons. Why does he want these things? Most of the ambitions you've listed mirror that of most applicants. You need to link the ambition to your character with reasons.

Other Information about your Character: If Ronald moves from his current town, he would mail a letter to them from Asulon saying, "Ello lads I have left yee to Asulon, hope to see yee there." Maybe he can see his brothers to Asulon.

You are already in Asulon. All players are. Aegis is a mass of burning rubble. The undead destroyed it. Please read the lore.

Your open response questions, albeit in character, are kind of messy to read and unorganized. Your Dwarf is also a heavy drinker, a drunk and doesn't show much other qualities. You didn't pull in any of the back story you set up in your biography, you just showed a lazy, greedy drunk. Not the farmer who has a love for the world around him you described above.

You will be allowed to reapply to the server in three months time, if you have any questions concerning your application feel free to drop a message in my inbox.
