How much time could you be on the server weekly?: At least 24 hours (if i can manage it). 3 hours each day or maybe 8 hours one day and 1 the next, it summer so I will probably be on even more so it might even be 30-40 depending on the week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Well, the first word that comes to mind is “fun”. To me Role Playing is essentially acting out the parts our characters play, as well as acting the way our characters would act. I see it as being in a play that has no definite end and that is full of Improvising.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I previously played on another role-play server called CraftHammer for about 2 months and through that I developed very good RP skills as a merchant and eventually started a small chain of shops around the land. I obtained and recruited several workers and started a small town with other members of my triumvirate. The purpose of this town was to build a resistance to regain a fort captured by chaos. Sadly we couldn’t regain the fort because the server went down.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Basically knowing what your character does not, say someone told you OOC that they are going to kill someone, telling the person that is going to be killed that they will be killed soon would be meta-gaming.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Giving a player no chance to fight or speak. An example would be going up to someone and saying *kills you* then telling the person in OOC to do /kill on them self.
What do you expect this server will be like?: An experience of RP filled drama and such. I imagine wars and friendships started as well as secrets and plots thickening.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: CraftHammer, it was down for 2 months and I only have so much patience. Amazocraft, I still play on it occasionally seeing as I am essentially a moderator for their RP world. CraftComplex, nobody new ever came on so the server remained fairly small and become boring quite quickly.
