  1. Why did I deny you? 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. You speak of a 'far away land'. There is only Aegis and Asulon, there are no other huge islands. Your character cannot be sailing from a land that does not exist. 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 'Cassius IS'. For he is there, and he is in that circumstance.

  2. Why did I deny you? 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 biography included instances of powergaming. A child at that age could not use a weapon efficiently, let alone, pick one up. A 5 year old would have to be seriously twisted to assassinate people. Your biography was also cliche. We are looking for imagination and creativity in roleplay. Your biography is one of the hundreds I have seen that included the same things happening, orcs killing parents, raided villages and suchlike. Your powergaming definition was incorrect.

  3. Why did I deny you? First of all, and probably the biggest thing you had wrong, was that your biography included 'powergamey' elements, such as a 6 year old hunting deer. It also did not follow the lore regarding the move to Asulon, as your character is '19' years old. We have been in Asulon for much longer than that, around 30 years I believe, and a number of issues come from this: One sentence responses are not adequate in the ORQ section, we need to be able to know that you know how to roleplay, and we need to know what your character sees, thinks, smells and feels in those situations. Also, you need to include a skin.

  4. *yawns* So tired right now...

  5. Oh god! Didn't I just do 15 apps? *cries*

  6. Accepted. Looks like you fixed everything up that was wrong with your last application, and this is acceptable now. Welcome to Asulon! Please wait for a GM to implement you, but until then, feel free to PM me on the forums.
  7. Why did I deny you? One sentence responses in the ORQs are not acceptable. A 'skill' called 'hawkeye'. This is not an RPG. Give your character some flaws.

  8. Why did I deny you? Orcs generally are not quick on their feet. I spotted no flaws at all in your character? Every person has a kryptonite. Your ORQs were in the future tense.

  9. Why did I deny you? You lied in your application, saying you had not made one before now? You were denied before by Thuum. Biography was very short and did not include quirks, a personality, flaws, weaknesses. Your ORQs were not roleplayed adequately. Your character is there right now, what is he/she doing, smelling, thinking, seeing and feeling in that situation?

  10. Why did I deny you? Quite a good app, fix up your grammar and spelling a bit, it was lacking in areas. Also, your ORQs were a bit lacking in detail and roleplaying. Your character is there right now, what is she/he doing, smelling, thinking, seeing and feeling in that situation? Elves are generally not blacksmiths, why is your character? Give us a reason.

  11. Why did I deny you? Character doesn't really seem to have flaws or weaknesses, too 'perfect' and 'powergamy'. Give him a weakness, what is his kryptonite? The ORQs were not roleplayed, per se. That situation is happening to your character right now. What is he doing, smelling, thinking, seeing and feeling?

  12. Why did I deny you? Powergaming/metagaming definitions were incorrect. We need to know that you know what they mean. Look around in TeamSpeak or the forums to diverge the true meanings of these in accordance to the server. Your ORQs were pretty short, not detailed enough, and were not adequately roleplayed out. We need to know exactly what your character sees, thinks and feels in those situations, as if he were there right now. Formatting could be prettier...

  13. Why did I deny you? Getting better, gettting better. Alright, first off, your definitions were somewhat correct /but/ we need to know that you know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Give examples, expand expand expand. Let us know that you would never break the rules of metagaming and powergaming, and that you understand what roleplaying is to a very high degree. Secondly, your ORQs. There is no 'I would' it is 'Bob is' or 'Bob runs up to'. Future tense is not acceptable. Your character is there, in the moment. This moment is not happening to him in the future, it is happening to him right now. They also need expansion and much more detail.
