  1. SECOND EDIT

    Minecraft name:GrimReaper98

    Forum name:GrimReaper98

    What do you think are the top five things, that are most important in an application and why?

    1) BIOGRAPHY

    The biography is a really important part in an application. As i've seen with apps 90% of them get denied because they write a 5 sentence biography. With the biography it sets out the guidelines of your character, meaning you HAVE to follow them throughout the server. This is an example of a biography that i found that had an error in it. "Once his leg was cut. The left leg was crippled for life" Then next sentence "After he walked to the temple" Since he just destroyed the last sentence by saying he walked and he was cripple. It proves he didn't read over it. And the biography needs to relate to the lore. As you can't be a 9990808 old elf or born in the Mines of Moria.

    2) Race Stereotypes

    Honestly i hate seeing an Elven archer or an Dwarf miner pop up in every second app. This makes the server repetitive and get boring. With the Stereotypes the only thing it shows that you haven't thought about anything relating to the character and half-hearted it. Though i won't care if it makes sense and it's unique. Like someone called Honeydew would piss off any app team member just reading that name and it's very unlikely for it to be accepted.

    3) Grammar!

    Grammar is a vital part of any application. Making it easier to read for the team and makes you seem like you're smart enough to role-play and understand the mechanics for it. As for the grammar it depends on the person and their mood. Certain app members will auto denied after 2 or 3 grammar mistakes. As i will probably be one of these people since grammar is vital and I hate reading over classmates work that you can't understand. And this is the exact same as reading a 3 year olds work to a mature persons work.

    4) The RP question

    If they don't answer it the app should be denied instantly. Since it makes people aware ((The app team)) Whether or not you have potential on this server. The question is a fairly simple question so people shouldn't miss it but people do. And games like WoW aren't really RP experience . So answer the question truthfully

    5/6) Non-RP skin and One worded answers.

    The non-rp skin is an obvious one. No one wants to watch a couple of Bob the builders running around burning things,But if the skin was suppose orc. It would create a terrifying atmosphere and brighten up the experience.

    The skills questions that are one worded are bad. Especially if you go "I'm good at everything" Just face it. Nobody's perfect. Plus characters with flaws are more enjoyable than the Jack of all trades characters which normally power-game anyway.

    Thanks you for reading this and i look forward to a response

  2. I was just wondering because i am thinking of becoming a slaver for my villian app. Yeah killing off your character would be funny because you escaped somewhere. I don't think it should be that drastic. Maybe they don;t get killed off till a member slays them and it's permanent etc.

  3. But you don't know the honor of our Bruddahs. You fight a group, Then the whole nation is against you. As before ye didn't klomp wargoth. You klomp runt then one pushed you into the fire. Hope some of our bruddahs are hungry. Cause there gonna be alot of leftover meat. And we might capture you leader of the Nical, Maybe make you orc slave or 3 course meal. Either way. You don't approach us when you called orc "PRETTY"

  4. As ye should know my fellow Orcs. We have been opposed by this group called the Nical empire after we burnt their leader in the arena today. Us being orcs we must eliminate this threat i think. Their base is off past the roads in that town the umies really wanted. Really nice place actually. Falgor think we should klomp this empire and keep their base as a prize. All while we piss on their skulls for Disrespecting Our brothers. We must rise as one and Attack. Wargoth Mogroka hopefully you'll see this and give us the all go. And Making an Army will be fun. Apply to Join The army to kill THIS EMPIRE

    -Falgor The Goblin

    [[Edit. They have got so scared that they signed a peace treaty. May this thread stay in case they play up]]

  5. Character Name:Falgor_The_Goblin

    MC Name:GrimReaper98

    Position:Wandering Merchant or Cook

    Applicable Skills:As my character is a merchant he is good at talking to people bartering etc. I'm new to the server so i have no stats at the moment. And being a cook before his home was destroyed by unknown people. So yeah. And really friendly ((Unless Trevor Takes Over))

    Play Time(GMT): Pretty sure it UTC+10 (Melbourne,Australa)

  6. Here's a couple of pointers for your next app

    -Biography needs to be longer. Around 3 paragraphs needed

    -Answers a tiny bit short. Make the Skill questions not one worded answers and make them sentence/s

    -The Role-Playing Question. You didn't explain what Role-Playing is. As i've seen with many apps they get rejected because of this question.

    I wrote that for a heads up for you since some GM's don't post what you got denied for. Hope you get accepted in your next app. Good Luck

Knowing that one day that skill will become a very useful tool

    With him being a goblin he learnt the common langugues of Aegis. Elven,Human and Orcish. He never understood the dwarven language fully but can do basic conversation with them. With his merchant business getting shut down at Sanjezal from low stocks. He has moved to other Nations to expand his work, meaning better profits. Falgor has always had a strong opinion on his brethren. The orcs. Normally calling them savage beasts and uncivilised creatures. Because Falgor much prefers the Elves to his own race for certain reasons. One of the main ones being lack of politics. Falgor will only gain respect for his own race when a diplomatic system is introduced and the Rex will not be in control.
