Thank you very much, admins and other staff who have put countless hours into 4.0. The builds that I have seen so far are spectacular, and I'm looking forward to roleplay on this new map.

Alright. Thanks!

I donated $25 to the server during Thales. I never received my minas during this time (250 of them? that's what the page says). Could I possibly get them, now, on 4.0?

4th?

I don't really know him that much, but he seems like a pretty good roleplayer. I've seen him around a bunch; he's active, so...

At first, I was kind of angry, because regions completely restrict anything that can be done within an area... but the inactivity thing and the player requirements are nice ways to make regions actually hard to get. Plus the fancy non-rectangular regions. I like it.

Could someone make me one that's like Korvic's "My GM App"... but you know, ET, instead? pls

Accidentally posted early! Sorry, give me a second to finish it.

Edit: Finished it.

Note: If you saw that trolly "Trial GM Application" posted from the account "Lyonharted" [not "Lyonharted!], that was... well, the rogue admin later mentioned in this post further attempting to screw with me. Got that account deleted, made this one, and needless to say, my passwords are secure, now. Only reason the guy knew it is because he was an admin on that server, and I told him it because we used it for the FTP (File Transfer Protocol, the thing where you install plugins/manage server files).

Do you hold / have you held any other staff positions?: Here? Nope. Other than that...

• Event Team/Lore Team on LoA. Helped write some important posts involving lore, and ran some small events involving a bunch of random beasts. Desert lizards, griffons, ice giants, bla bla bla...
• Administrator and founder on Tyrenale. Another admin, Gus, and I wrote all of our lore. Ran a bunch of events, usually two ish a day, for the four ish months after release until... well, a rogue admin hapenned.

What MMORPG/video games have you / do you play? (Past and Present) : Video games? MMORPGs? That's a weird question. Suppose I'll answer some of my favorites, regardless:

• The Fable Series - All three. Liked one the most. Three was good, though it really irked me how it jumped like fifty days at a time while you were a monarch.
• The Halo Series - Always loved Halo. Got a life-sized helmet for Master Chief right beside me. Pretty sure they gave it to people who pre-ordered at a certain time or something for Halo 3, don't remember.
• Legends of Zelda - ...'nuff said.
• Tropico - Decent strategy game, but it does annoy me at times how... silly the game is with itself. A joke is a joke, but when I want to play a strategy game, I don't want a joke about America and sheep every time I research something.
• Command & Conquer - Good game. The story was always really nicely done and, even though it was a bit cheesy at times, the live action cut scenes in more recent ones are really well done. 
• Rimworld - Nice, modern adaptation of the colony management genre.
• Timber and Stone - Even nicer adaptation... but this time with voxels (blocks made of pixels that can be moved)! I encourage you check this one out, actually. Click here.
• Dwarf Fortress - 11/10 would bang, nuff said.
• Gears of War - The combat in this game always feels very tense, and like every single, minute thing you do affects the scenario deeply, and it's got a nice story to boot.

What are your characters? Are you willing to sacrifice any to become a Event member?: Sylvestre, fils de Charles, Halcourt d'Vasile. Literally means, quite simply, Sylvestre, son of Charles, of House Halcourt, from Vasile. Think Joan d'Arc; Joan of Arc. I'll just go ahead and link my unfinished backstory. I'm not really satisfied with it yet and it needs a lot of fine tuning, because there are one or two chapters that are a page or two, while the others are a few paragraphs... and yeah. So, click here. If it was really necessary, I suppose so, but considering we have the persona plugin and I only have one of mine used... well?
 

What race / group do you think your events would best cater to? If none in particular, give an example of the type of group that your events would entertain. : I'm not sure. I won't deny that, being a human, I inherently have bias and, in fact, a surplus of it, but I like to involve all kinds of groups in events. I don't mean that I would want to run events with 40,000 people; just that I'd run one here, then one there, all over the place.

What do you believe are key factors for a successful event?: Intrigue, conflict, and dynamics. An event should never be a predetermined, linear story for players to hitch a ride on; it should be an open forest, with a multitude of different paths that fork in all directions, and where they are left to decide the outcome.

When was the last time you saw a event?: ACanadianCraft had a friend of mine catch a little frog. It was a nice event. Little stuff like that always contributes to roleplay, and with her, it actually made that character pretty happy. 11/10 would go again.

What strengths could you contribute to the Event Team? Are you knowledgeable in lore or great at organizing?: I don't want to sound like a narcissist. So, here, I'll just write what I think are my best abilities.

• Writing - I think it'd be cool to leave little stories or something around in the correct roleplay forum for people to see. For example, if I ran an event with the elves, leave a really nice, kind of vague summary in the elven roleplaying forum.
• Conflict - I think I'm decent at generating conflict within an event or story.
• Time - Time is one of the few things that I know, for a fact, I have too much of. I can spend a good ten hours on the server daily, unless I'm doing something in real life.
• Experience - I think I'm pretty versed and decently experienced at running events, and I know the dos and don'ts.

Create three distinct RP scenarios/events that you would organize. These are pitches to the Managers and Kai, not to the community. Note: Not all of the group must be handled at once. Eg: 20+ people via 5 person increments in a dungeon. 

• 1) For 1-3 person
• 2) For a group of 5-10
• 3) For a group of 20+:

• For 1-3 person:

As the small party wanders through the woods, they notice a young, malnourished fox hiding inside of a log. In the distance, they hear howling. The party can eitherA) ignore the fox, continuing on; or B) help it and take it out of the log, probably feeding it too. However, after doing so, they would notice three wolves further in the forest that were making their way towards them...

• For a group of 5-10:

An adunian lady wearing a purple dress wanders into either an elven or human city. Here, she sets up a tent, shouting about and speaking of how she can tell any man's fortune... in return for four mina! When paid, she preaches to the choir, telling them exactly what they want, but with a twist. To the widow, she says that she will meet the man of her dreams, wed him, but later find that he is cruel beyond belief; to the average farmer, she says that his next harvest will be plentiful... but he will be sick and unable to harvest it. Et cetera, et cetera.

• For a group of 20+:

I don't think that I'd want to run an event this big.

How long do you plan to stay in the ET?: As long as I'm needed and able.


Why do you want to be ET?: To run events, because I enjoy doing so; to entertain people, because events should always contribute to roleplay; and to help LotC in the department I'm probably best at.

Tell me a joke. - ...uh. A joke... probably a joke related to LotC... Can I buy Tythus a steam game in return for E.T.? 

(...why does IP.Board automatically butcher titles? I kept clicking preview post, and every time, even though I edited it, it changed from "A Feast in Aldersberg!" to "a Feast in Aldersberg!"... y u do dis)

[Out of Character]

The time will be at 6:30 PM CST. Here's a link to a countdown: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20140812T1830&p0=944&msg=A+Feast+in+Aldersberg

Posters are strung about Tempum and on the road from the Cloud Temple to Aldersberg. These posters are of decent quality, and the ink used to write on it is recently dried. They read...

"        A Feast in Aldersberg!

Aldersberg County will be hosting a feast in approximately half an Elven Year [the 12th of August]. Food will provided to all, and there will be many festivities. This feast is to celebrate the recent prosperity of the County, and to thank all of its loyal serfs for their labor. Below is a list of festivities:

• An Open Tournie - Anyone willing to enter may pay 10 mina. In return, they are allowed to battle. It is a free for all, and the last man standing is given a ferrum battle axe. [Note: I will be giving the battle axe to the winner on the new map, because of the wipe, once we get established. I also ask that those who pay the 10 mina to enter repay it when the wipe happens, but that's up to you.]

•  The Feast - All participants enter the keep and head upstairs to the feasting hall. Here, they are served, and the feasting begins! A performer of some kind should be present, and the food will be well given out. Dishes to be served will range from fresh, delicious apple or pumpkin pies to savory chicken! Expect some real treats.

• Oaths - All current Men at Arms will swear an oath to the Count, along with the Seneschal and Master at Arms. On top of this, any who wish to join the Militia as common Militiamen may do so at this time, and any interested serfs can also become a part of the County.

After these festivities take place, those who previously volunteered will be given re-compensation [some minas after the release of 4.0, since it'd otherwise be pointless], and then the keep will be cleaned. The champion of the tournie will also be given an offer to fill the last position of Men at Arms in the militia! Such is a rank of prestige within the County, for during times of war, able-bodied serfs are levied, and four levies are put under the command of each Man at Arms!

The County looks forward to welcoming all of you into its land, and providing you with an enjoyable feast! Its people will see you then."

I'd say yes, go ahead, but don't treat it like MCMMO. Sure, allow someone to level up in certain traits, but becoming a better swordsman does not mean the weapon you hold will somehow become more sharp. Possibly do some things with haste that let people swing better, or give them other buffs like that at higher levels, instead of just giving more damage. A stab is a stab, and while being a better swordsman might let you get someone in a critical area, the sword isn't going to get sharper because you're more skilled. 

(For now, the plan was to just look about for somewhere to set up camp. Once we find a duke or something to swear to, then we'd hopefully just wait around, get some things, and all of that for 4.0. Come that, hopefully, we'd get some land... somewhere. We don't plan on marching in and declaring ourselves nobility. Our characters are foreigners entering a nation known for its aggressiveness. They're going to try to show their worth, and become... well, somebodies.

Edit: Note, also, that this is just our character's culture. They're versed politicians; they are aware that their nobility will not be recognized, and all of that. As a result, all that they care about, as of now, is showing that they are an asset to Oren, and attempting to get ahold of resources and moolah. What they don't want is to run out into the wild, build a small village, then declare themselves High Princes of the land (!!!11oneone1). They're obviously very weary, considering they just left their ravaged homeland.)
