Have you been previously banned (be it a forum or server ban) and under what circumstances did you receive this ban?:

Multiple times for being Wolfkite’s alt, Which I am not.(this is not a joke/meme.) Other then that, I have not been banned for any real rule.

Have you ever received warning points and what actions were committed to receive such points?:

 I have never recieved a warning point on the forums.

Moderating the forums is a very time dependant staff position. How much time, on average, would you be able to dedicate to moderating?:

I don’t have a life at the moment, or for the next 2.5 months. So for the summer I can spend literally, no joke, all day on the forums, which I pretty much do anyways. Then when school would start again, I could spend around 5 hours a day on the forums. Though it would probably depend on the day because if I am doing a activity that day or feel like going on my computer/tablet and checking over the forums. That most likely would be one of the only cases in which I would not be on the forums for a day or two.

What experience do you have using the LotC forums or any forum in general?:

My experience on the LotC forums on the forums exists of 3 years of time spent on them. Even when I took breaks from LotC I still looked at them. I hold no moderating experience because I have never attempted to try to moderate the Lotc Forums, and that is something I will not lie about.

What does it mean to be a Forum Moderator, in your own words? What responsibilities does the Forum Moderator have to carry out  in order to successfully do their job?:

Being a Forum Moderator is a position where you uphold the rules that have been put in place. Checking over the forums, looking at inactive posts to move them, and then looking at new posts and making sure people don’t troll/meme around. It's a position in which you need to put dedication into because you shall always see people breaking the forum rules and a good example of this is user, 'The North'.

Have you ever held a staff position here on LotC? Do you currently hold any other staff positions? If so, list them and highlight something about the team that you enjoyed/enjoy.:

I’ve not held any staff position before.

Why should you be a Forum Moderator? What can you bring forward to the team that allows you to moderate and enforce the conduct of the forums?:

Time and dedication which I possess lots of. This allows me to moderate the forums better because I believe these the two key qualities you need to have. You need time because people play LotC from all over, and therefore will be using the forums from all over. That means 24/7 or at least as long as the forums stay up, someone needs to moderate them. You also need dedication to moderate the forums because if you don't, then you probably will not be enforcing the rules.

What characteristics do you possess that makes you stand out from any other applicant?:

I don’t see anything that raises me above another applicant. In fact some of the other applicants may even possess qualities such as experience over me. Though most of those applicants most likely just want the position and would not take it serious with the other positions on the server that they hold. 

Are there members of the current Forum Moderation Team that you do not get along with or see a problem with working with in the future? If so, what is it that could hinder your ability to work together. Remember, this is a team and working together is the main foundation of a team.:

For the few people I know on the team, I don’t believe there would be any problems with the members that I would have.

Are there any extra things you'd like to mention?:

No sir/madam.

do not make this a factions pvp server, do what @fimlin and @james2k both said. 

"Dis lad beh ah hero fer Urguan! Ah tough choice 'e made, bu' ah good un' et wos." Darid says to Darek talking about Baldin.

Accepted! Welcome to Red Urguan!      ((on behalf of Jordan1921.))

"Hopefulleh weh can end dis rebellion an' unce again 'ave peace an' prosperiteh en deh realm." says Darid.

Darid picks up the first volume of The Urguanite Worker, reading it and nodding in approval. 

A man wonders how a tribal nation is worse than a mercenary nation.

I wAnT tO jOiN

Darid also nods to those of the same blood.

"Let deh true Urguan prosper.

"Although a sad moment for Urguan, We must look fowards and not continue to trip over this event. May Bastion's family be well during this time, But may Urguan continue to grow, even with this event." -Darid states 

"Unless Morug changed something, I decreed this to be alright in my tenure." -Darid states.

[!] Darid stands in front of his fellow dwedmar to deliver a speech.

     “The dwedmar, Us, must stand together. As the days roll by, we as a Kingdom grow weaker. As the days roll by we as a race grow weaker. As the days roll by, we as a people grow weaker. I ask you what steps have the government done to take any action in the recent years?”

      “It was in 1593 that I was still the High Prophet, and it was in 1593 that I crowned Bastion Ireheart to be the Grand King of this very Kingdom. We as a race grew weak because of the loss of our Grand King, Algoda Frostbeard, to the enemy Oren. But under Bastion Ireheart, the nation’s strung together to defeat a common enemy.”

     “We as a Kingdom grew stronger. We had prosperity. But with prosperity and good will, comes dark times. We went to war and still are. The Kingdom had a new common enemy called Norland. The Kingdom and Former Lords of Avar had declared grudge on Norland after the traitorous actions of the betrayal in Vailor. Yet even with such an action, we as a race can’t continue to carry on with such a war. In our absence, Threats have grown strong, and we as a world must take care of them. We continue to sign such treaties and go on with coalitions that we do not carry on with.”

     “Even with these actions though, It is not only the external forces that continue to be harmful to this Kingdom. It is also the internal actions made by the Throne. The Kingdom and more over the King has promised to have regular Senate Meetings and Grand Council meetings. Such an action is a rare sight we have seen.  We convene over actions that a minority of the dwedmar wish for. War. The last senate meeting had to be called by the former High Prophet due to the absence of the Grand King. But yet again, this is not the only problem in this nation. We grow weaker not only because of these internal and external problems, but problems brought on by the Crown. Bastion Ireheart has now worn the crown for 19 years. As the years have rolled on, the crown has grown tired. This speech is not because of the coma-like state of the Grand King but because of the lack of government."

     “We as a race grow weaker because of the lack of motivation in the recent years of the Crown. As time rolls on with every king, we must look not in the present, but to the future. We as a Kingdom must look forwards and not backwards and to do this, we must look to a change in the hands of government.”

     “One may question why this is being asked for, but we as a race must continue to prosper and to do such, we need a change for a Grand King who will not continue to harm the Grand Kingdom, but one will who will lead us to an age of peace and prosperity, one who other nations look up to and not down upon. The actions taken by this current government continue to harm this nation. We must have peace in our time. We must remake the industry that we were known for! We must continue to grow not only in size, but in population. These are all things that we have not seen in years.”

     “The Grand Council stays inactive. We lack a clergy. With this, we shrivel as a nation. We grow weak and we will never become what we once were if we continue down this path. We must go under a new crown that will help us with these problems, for if our internal diplomacy stays this way, we will never be a nation of power again. But it is not the internal diplomacy that is the only problem. It is also the external diplomacy that we lack in. With the lack of the High Counsul, the ambassadors must attempt to do diplomacy without the leader.”

     “As we continue to talk today, dwedmar leave tomorrow. I see the continuous abandoning of housing and shops in our capital. We see that dwedmar do not wish to stay under this crown. That is just evidence that we as a Kingdom are doing wrong. We as a Kingdom are going down a path in which the population disagrees with. With this all being said, If you disagree with this, Then you care not for the Kingdom as a whole but for yourself. We as a Kingdom must take action and either call for the surrender of the crown, or the senate must remove the crown from the wearer. We as a nation can not continue to be lead by regents. We must be lead by a person who cares for the nation.”

“Yemekar bless Urguan.”

“Yemekar bless our future.”
