Aye, sir dwarf... I suppose it wise to await this sir's response.

I patiently await your response, sir. If no one else is interested, perhaps we should decide a time and location for a meeting to make an exchange?

Mossy cobblestone would fit nicely with our architecture... I bid 200 minas for the crate and change of your mossy stone there!

[Wyvernos is no longer Ser Wyvernos?! When did that happen? ><;] The words of this poet reverberates within my mind, Weeping Willow, her shadow cast, The silhouette of her sorrows, in memories I find, Lay them to rest and pray, the dark of Past.

Unfortunately, I haven't got a YouTube channel. This poem/song will be written in game and is often "sung" by my character whenever he travels. If you want a reading IRL, that might be possible. The problem with singing this, however, would be the fact that I have a crappy singing voice and that it was written without a melody in mind. In any case, thanks everybody, as always, for the great comments. =)

Thanks everybody for the positive feedback! I've edited and added a few lines to make the song more... complete? D:

All Over Again Save Room in your heart, find a place for me, Open your mind and speak your heart, Heaven only knows the secrets within, And only I can hear the melodies, Stereos drum out a rhythm familiar, And we dance to a similar beat, Show Me a sign, something I can see, That your love belongs to no one but me, Each Day Gets Better, the time we spend alone, Millenniums pass by; I'm lost in your eyes, We Just Don't Care, the world is ours, we know, Let me taste your lips, our love exhibition, Slow Dance with the devil and a waltz with lust, Slow it down for a minute and lose yourself, Again and again, the sweet taste of sin, And we'll do it all over again. Griffith du Mont (inspired by the album "Once Again" by John Legend)

my ArmaLuna A gentle breeze of harmony, flows within my mind, Reposed and calm, my hands transcribe the voice they find, Myriad of words penetrate the page, giving birth to my thoughts, ArmaLuna, she blesses my heart; endless cheer and freedom wrought, Lost in her embrace, my lips kiss her good night, Uttering a sweet lullaby; my eyes fixate on her holy light, Never-more shall my ArmaLuna, find herself alone, Alas my reason and inspiration; I've found my home. Griffith du Mont

This one's not getting published until I've edited, Antharin. ;)

Thanks for the positive feedback!

We fled from what we feared the most, As the Undead army drew ever close, Death indiscriminate to race and age, Tainted souls blinded with rage, We watched as the fires burned our village, And the black of heart set off to pillage, We watched as the blades pierced our flesh, And our ears filled with screams of anguish, The home we knew as the land of Aegis, Is now but a story for the ages. Ships of all races and nations gathered, Differences aside for all that mattered, Departure from this land torn asunder, Warriors rallied, through rain and thunder, Allies and foes alike, sword and shield in hand, A united Aegis, her final stand, To enter the Nether, a war with Iblees, Clashing swords in a song of symphonies, A song we'll sing, the might of Aegis, A song for bards to be sung for ages. The seas were wretched, thunder and rain, Echoes of men writhing in pain, Time drifted by like a wandering soul, As hunger and illness took its toll, The ultimate end we sought to refrain, Fruitless endeavors; Death cometh again, Many lives were lost upon this voyage, So take a moment, we pay thee homage, The great land we once knew as Aegis, Raise our glasses, a toast for ages. Thrusting through the roaring waves, Months replaced our count of days, We would eventually come upon, The ancient land of Asulon, Wrought with famine, monsters and earth unknown, Were we to settle and call it home? A hostile, strange, yet tranquil place, Of rivers and mountains filled with grace, Let us sing our song and turn the pages, As life moves on, so fades our Aegis. - Griffith du Mont (Accidentally posted this in the limerick thread... *facepalm)

He forgot the definition of limerick, So he thought he aught to fix it quick, Scratched out the error to correct his rhyme, Hoping that he was just in time, Before someone called Griffith a d--k.

I support this town and would be interested in helping it develop. Please send a bird whenever you are ready to set up.

Out-Of-Character: Minecraft Account Name: seffx Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No. How old are you?: 25 Time-Zone/Country of Residence: -5:00 EST, Canada Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes. Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am currently in my last year in University with a focus in Humanities. I have always been interested in fantasy worlds and the endless amounts of individual universes created by our fantasies. I am also an avid fan of Minecraft and have been playing it since 1.4 with my girlfriend. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 14 hours + What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying, to me, is broken down into the two fundamental elements of the word: role and play. A role is given to all participants who, at one point or another, interact with one another. Every role is different and every role is fulfilled by one person or another. Some carpenters, some blacksmiths, and some knights and vagabonds. Our roles are defined by how we contribute to the overall community, as being a character. Playing is the act of engaging in an activity for the purposes of delight. Role Playing, then, is quite literally the act of playing a role. Roleplaying means that one adopts the role in which they have been bestowed upon them, to accept that character as their selves and to live it out in our digital, fantasy realm. In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is applicable in events where an individual has information that their character has not learned through the game environment. The wrong use of metagaming would be to abuse this knowledge for the sake of benefiting one's characters. Powergaming happens when two or more individuals conflict in the events that occur during their roleplay interaction through the use of occurred/occurring events such as: Player A kicks Player B down a flight of stairs and Player B dies. What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect this server to be mature and active, with lots of various and interesting characters. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Super-Earth: the entire server is donor based and immaturity runs rampant. The markets were controlled by few and they had basic monopoly on everything. ImDeity: Was not interesting. The community was lacking. FyreUK: I visit occasionally still. They are a creative server and exists more for appreciation of art and design rather than gameplay. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes. How did you hear about us?: I found out about this server through my girlfriend, peachi3xx, who is also applying. Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? Yes. I'm not sure which number is applicable, but here there is 197 votes from what I can tell. What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: seffx In-Character: Character Name: Griffith du Mont What is your Race?: Human Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Short Bio: I, Griffith du Mont, am 25 years of age and am the youngest son in the 'du Mont' blacksmithing family of 7. Since my father passed away before I was born, my mother raised me by herself; I was the only child who was raised solely by a woman. Needless to say, I grew up surrounded by the sound of metal being refined and hammered and the smell of leather being tanned. While my older siblings accepted their fate as blacksmiths, I knew in my heart that an adventure is always just around the corner. At the age of 16, I set off on an adventure to see the world, picking up a skill in mercantilism in my travels. I eventually met and wed Kyra, despite my mother's and her parents' protest. Appearance: My background naturally molded my physique to become worthy of becoming a blacksmith. I dress as casually and light as possible due to the fact that I am frequently traveling. Personality: Despite my background, I am actually a pacifist. I believe in the natural order of life and that our currently unbalanced world will eventually balance itself out. Generally, I try not to directly take action in events unrelated to me, but my sense of justice always gets me into unnecessary trouble; although not all of these actions were necessarily, bad, shall we say? *wink* Your characters ambitions: My goals are to see the world and all it has to offer. Where safe roads end, mine begin. My quest is to travel to find the world's most bizarre and unique treasures with my beloved Kyra. Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? [narrative]Being born of a blacksmith family and many years of being taught sword-handling by a blacksmith mother has allowed Griffith to be able to defend himself.[/narrative] [Thinking to self] If the elf has handled himself thus far until my arrival, perhaps he may be skilled with a sword. If only this could end peacefully... [/end thought] I approach the bandits with both hands up and say, "Halt! What fairness is this, two ganging up on one? Perhaps we can talk rather than fight." Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? "Good day [insert Shop Owner's Name]! How have you been keeping as of late? I come today to purchase some flowers for my beloved. I hear the Red Rose blooms quite well this time of year and would love to have a look myself. Would you happen to have any Red Roses?" A screenshot of your skin: Other Information:
