Yay <3

Have you ever been banned or received a strike? If so, link the report:

I have not.

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?

I believe that there are several important factors to a successful event.

First off the event must be exciting and enjoyable for those involved. The event must be fair to both sides so that no one gets upset or angry with each other and if anyone does get upset, the ET must know how to respond to this. Both sides must accept that they may lose. Sore losers just ruin the experience for the rest of the players involved.

Secondly, those this may seem non-important, there must be rewards. Rewards inspire players to RP to the best of their ability and really try to make the event enjoyable. Even if the rewards are small (simply a normal block enchanted with a different name) they create a reason for participants in the event to try their hardest.

Thirdly, the event must be new and creative. If the event is the same old attack from the north, spawn mobs and blow stuff up players won't be interested and may just avoid the event altogether.

Lastly, the event must fit into the lore of the world (in this case Anthos) and it must have later repercussions. For example, if Malinor get's blown up, filled with snow and set on fire, it can't all be fixed within the next day. The event must have lasting consequences. The event should inspire people to RP with each other even after it has ended. Using the above example, the citizens of Malinor could band together to slowly but surely attempt to revert the town to it's prior state.

What type of events are you most interested in creating?

I am more interested in creating the small events that impact only a small portion of the player base. Though these events don't involve quite as many people, they could happen more often. I think the advantage of these events is that they are more intimate and the player base can feel like they're actually involved in the event instead of just spectating from the sidelines. These events would have lasting consequences but not so important that they would alter the entire future of a town or city. In my opinion this is one of the best way to integrate new players into the RP of the server!

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team?

I think the biggest things I could bring to the ET are my creativity and, though it may sound silly, my experience. I am not the server quite a bit and have no difficulty finding RP. As Golrodir (my main character) is the Foreman of Malinor I find myself interacting with new players all the time. I am often the first person they come to so that they can get set up and begin their LotC experience. Due to this I have a lot of experience with integrating new players into the server and creating interesting RP for them. I am also very creative. I take a general drama and arts class at school that really helps improve your creativity and expand your imagination. I feel that I could help make fun, exciting and intense events and RP situations that the entire player base would find enjoyable.

Create three distinct RP scenarios/events that you, as an actor, could create for others (one paragraph each):

The Raft

An old wooden raft washes up on the beaches of Anthos. On board is a man dressed in tattered, dirty clothes who is unconscious and barely breathing. As players realize that the man is not a threat they quickly run forward to try and help the man. As they let their guard down, a party of bandits runs out from behind a bluff down the beach. They surround the rescue party. The unconscious man was simply a victim of the bandits who had been used as bait to lure in new prey. What will the rescue party do? Will they be able to fight or bargain their way out?

The Tunnels

(In my opinion more RP has to happen during mining. Simply going down into the tunnels and digging long tunnels can get boring very easily, especially if you aren't finding much.)

A party of miners has just descended into the great mines of Anthos. As they are mining, the tunnel behind them begins to shake and rocks start falling from the ceiling. The tunnel collapses just as one or two of them manage to escape. The ones that managed to escape go off to find help, leaving their fellow miners behind. What will the trapped miners do while trapped? What if some other evil comes along while they wait?

The Cave

A group of travellers stumble across a cave while travelling from one nation to another. They quickly begin exploring but find that a pack of wolves inhabit that cave and are quickly surrounded and trapped inside. There is no way to communicate with the wolves so the group is at a loss for what to do. How will they escape? Will someone else come along and rescue them?

Please leave any feedback or support below ^.^ Thanks for reading!

Huge +1 from me. I have seen some of Kaun's work and it is absolutely fantastic!

This is a huge +1 from me. Xiryks is a calm, level-headed and mature player who I would trust as one of the server's GMs. I haven't had the chance to RP with him that much but from the few times that I have, it's been a great experience. Good luck Xiryks! Hope you get it :)

((If the person who has the other item, pm me and I'll discuss a counter offer))

((Before you make a deal with this person, contact me and I'll make a counter-counter offer :P))

((I don't think you can trade real money for ingame items, that doesn't seem very RP to me.))

((Lol, yeah. It's part of the hunt. I agree that it isn't very RP either if I were to trade it for other stuff in game.))

*Posters are hung on the notice boards of every city. Criers are also seen around the main citizen hubs, handing out the following flier.*

Hello everyone! My name is Golrodir Eritaf and I have a request of you today. I am looking for a certain item of unknown value. I am willing to pay almost anything for this item. If you have any information on it's whereabouts please send me a message!

I eagerly await your response!

Thank you, Golrodir Eritaf

*The cryptic and unclear message is signed with a seal and a signature.*

((Basically, I'm looking for the 6th item in the Puzzling Hunt treasure hunt. If anyone can give me this item, I will give them $50 from the donation in return for their kindness. Hope to hear from you!))

Erm, how do you destroy a Redstone pillar? :P

Genius, as always Technical Team!

About how long have you been on the server?

I have been on the server since Summer of 2011. So over two years.

Why you want to be an AT member?

I've been playing on the server for over two years but haven't  applied for any staff positions yet. I feel that I owe it to this server to give something back as it has been such an awesome community for me. I have quite a bit of experience at reviewing applications as I was an admin that helped with whitelisting on a friend of mine's server but more importantly, I was a Proctor (equivalent of AT) on Herocraft. This involved going through a LOT of apps, giving constructive feedback and several other things. I held that position for almost half a year and helped whitelist over 300 people to the server. The app reviewing I've done in the past has involved a lot of background checks and seeing when people were last banned etc. I'm not sure if that is the same way that the AT runs but I'd love to be given the chance!

Good luck to everyone who's applying!

*Golrodir sighs as he places up a new bid.*

"Let's get this over with. 5200 Minas!"

*Golrodir smiles*

And the bargaining begins again! 2000 Minas!

*Golrodir chuckles as he places up a new note.*

1800!

*Golrodir sighs, mildly annoyed now.*

1600!

*Golrodir carefully removes the spit-covered not before placing a new one up.*

1400 Minas!

*Smiles pleasantly as he pins up another note.*

1200!

*Laughs softly under his breath.*

We'll see about that! 1000!

*Golrodir smiles as he places up a new note.*

800 Minas!

*Pins up a new note*

600 Minas!

*Reads over the note and smiles. He writes a small response next to it.*

I'll start at 400 Minas!

Short Answers for all Applicants;

Why do you wish to join the Delvers? I have always been curious and would love to explore my curiosity with others that share the same qualities.

Have you belonged to any faction or guild before? I have not.

List three words that a guild needs to function and survive.

Order - A guild must be structured and organized for it to function.

Communication - If a guild doesn't communicate well it will simply fall apart.

Excitement/Fun - If a guild isn't exciting, no one's going to want to join or stay!

In your own words describe what you think a delve is: There are many ways to use the word delve. In my opinion it means to explore or investigate something quite thoroughly. It could also mean to be curious or interested in our about something.

If you found an artifact and that artifact could do anything. What would it do? This artifact would store the knowledge of hundreds of past mages and healers who have lived before me. It would carry their knowledge on technique's and spells and anything they learned during their lifetime! And of course, I would be able to share it. The knowledge wouldn't be for me alone.
