Mathius gazes into the great rock of mystery, and draws his blade "Back already?" he chuckles...

Definitions.

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Role-playing is creating an alter-ego living as your character would, doing unnecessary things, only because its what you would have had to do in your character's time, talking as he would, thinking as he would.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Using knowledge from the real world that would not be normally availablem to give yourself an advantage or know more than you actually would in that situation.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: So i was pretty close with my last definition, but now i understand it's not just quoting something your character cannot express it's quoting an action that cannot be stopped, like if i put "Mathius swiftly stabs Draneus in the back." this quote is referring to an action that cannot be blocked and is the whole action, not just "Mathius creeps up behind Draneus to stab him in the spine." he can still block this quote.

Open-Response-Questions

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?:

"Ah, the big city." Anreus says I notice him studying the buildings and nearby shops, his eye focuses on a dwarf, wearing tattered clothes, selling goods, but ignored by most.

"Let's see what he's selling." I say as I began to approach the shopkeeper, Anreus following.

"Good evening sirs, would you like to buy one of my wares?" the dwarf says with a look saying "They're not going to buy."

"No we're just looki-" Anreus says walking away. Grabbing Anreus by the collar I speak.

"How much for this?" picking up a sliver goblet.

A questioning look spreads from ear to ear on the dwarf "Well that's..." he pauses "For you it's free."

"I can not accept this, a craft this fine must have a price. Here's a gold." I say handing over a large round golden coin.

The gloomy dwarf smiles... "Have a good day sir." he says as we leave the stall, a pedestrian notices the transaction and approaches the vendor, it attracts another and before long the stall is swarming with customers.

"Why did you buy that?" Anreus says pointing to the goblet.

"He needed the gold. Why didn't you buy it?" I say, Anreus stares off, not knowing what to say.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?:

"Listen up maggot..." I hear as I approach the "Y" in the Oren road. I search for the mysterious voice. I see two men, an orc and dwarf arguing about an unknown matter.

"No you listen up, you great mutt of man..." the dwarf says as I step in.

"What is the matter?" I say gesturing the two to back off.

"This half-ling took my pouch."

"I took it? You probably had nothing in it to take."

"I had more gold than you could ever dream of."

As we speak i feel a slight bump on my side, as i turn around a man sprints off into the distance, I look to the two and they're gone as well. I feel for my pouch, it's there, but nothing inside, the bottom had been slit and my gold gone. I was robbed.

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:

The old man's stick breaks, I notice he drops his pouch. I'm tempted to take off with the plentiful pouch, as I reach for it, my hand is moved towards the old man's, by some mysterious force, helping him up I hand him my walking staff, I always carry. I pick up the pouch and hand it to the man. He smiles and hands it back "You could have stolen it, but instead you helped me up and gave me the power to walk, thank you." I thank him and wish him the best of luck, he smiles and walks off into the distance.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power-emoting is phrasing a action your character takes on, but cannot express using the given commands for an example "Mathius, reaches for his sword as a mysterious figure appears in the distance" I can't show my character gripping the hilt of his sword, but through power-emoting I'm showing that I'm ready for a fight.

Hey, i couldn't find the questions to be asked, but I'll just talk about why i want to join and what I'll be doing.

Okay, so i want to join this server, because i love Lord of the Rings, and I'm excited about the Hobbit, it came out yesterday and I've read the book, I always come up with ideas how to expand the tale, I played LORTO, but you can't make your own city, rage war, and adventuring isn't as fun, considering with level difference it makes it hard to go far, and you don't need to eat so it's not all that fun. What I'll be doing? Well first I'm gonna find a place worthy to build on and create a house and a watch, not far off, I'm not sure what race I'll be, but I plan to have many companions. Um, let's see, I don't make single brick towers going off into space, I usually keep neat mines, if i were to rate my buildings I'd say an 7, or 8 out of 10. If i didn't answer a question, I'd appreciate it if you could point me to the questions. My Minecraft username is Sleepingsun619, and I should be on for another couple o' hours. I'm 12 years old, but I'm pretty mature for my age, I live in Alaska, yeah English is my first language, and I'm taking Russian, for advance social studies, yeah role playing is like a second nature, Arma2 role playing, and on LOTRO I always play on RP servers, and sometimes i spend hours just exploring in role play. I saw the rules, and yeah i think i can abide by them, I googled it myself, wanted a Lotr server and this was voted 1#, this is my first application.
