What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is acting physically and mentally like a real person.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I've played on other Minecraft servers, a Garry's Mod one too.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is the act of using out of game information to help you'r character. Such as, skype, teamspeak or youtube. Like saying a buddy on teamspeak told you that there is a hidden chest, you can just go to it because your character does not know about it.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power-Emoting is the act of one using their own emote or action to directly influence another's actions without a chance for the other person to respond. An obvious example is, say "PersonA cuts straight towards PersonB's neck, instantly killing him/her." This gives no chance for "PersonB" to react in the way that HE/SHE wants, rather than the way that "PersonA" wants. A proper emote is one that is left open to different outcomes that will be finished by the other RP'er.
