Your application lacks detail, and the images you provided only show one style of building. Perhaps you ought to revisit the application, and make sure to answer every question fully, and coherently.

Updated responses and added some screenshots of old builds I built for another server a while back.

Well they'd be more medieval than anything.

Username maxschell

Timezone P.S.T.

Group/Nation: U.S.A.? (or do you mean ingame? If ingame, I really don't belong anywhere right now, I'm trying to join the druids, but yeah.)

Have you ever held a staff position before?

Not on LOTC. I've staffed several other servers, but I've never been staff on LOTC.

Have you ever been banned before?

Nope. Someone reported me like 2 years ago because I was being stupid and way overreacting, but I wasn't banned.

What style do you prefer to build in?

Medieval-Fantasy, usually in Lord of the Rings style.

Are you comfortable using World Edit commands?

Yes.

Provide screenshots of three builds you have created from the following list: Terrain, Creature, Medieval, or High Fantasy

These are a few screenshots I took a little bit ago.

Explain what you feel results in a quality build

In a word? Realism. It needs to be structurally stable, from a logical standpoint. (barring magically infused places, and whatnot, which bend the rules of science.) It needs to look good, like... Art. It's kind of hard to describe. It needs to... Work. It needs structure, and most importantly, it needs detail. It is absolutely necessary (with most builds) to have physical depth. A wall generally shouldn't be just flat, it should have supporting features, and often extra details, such as windows, or perhaps overlaying a window, could be a small hanging garden, or something of the like. It needs to have a specific feel to it. When you walk in you should be able to almost see the atmosphere.

Why do you wish to become an Event Team Builder?

Because I want to help the server progress, and I want to help the community have the best experience possible. The best way I feel I can do that is to RP well, and help build. Eventually, once I get re-acquainted with the lore, I may apply for other positions. In my experience, events are often the lifeblood of a server, offering new, and interesting things for the players to do. Giving them a chance to find out more about a certain thing, or even just to further give them fuel for their character to progress.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths would be anything in towns, or settlements. Houses and lodges are my forte, but I'm not too shabby when it comes to churches, blacksmiths, libraries, stores, etc.

Weaknesses would be castles, large keeps, and the like. Using a mass amount of stone on the exterior of a building is difficult, as in my experience I've found it hard to give realistic, and good looking detail on the exterior of a large build built mostly with stone, or stonebricks.

How much time could you give this position in the foreseeable future?

3 or more hours on weekdays, 5 or more on weekends. (Though it's really a day-to-day thing)

It's obvious that I'm not wanted. I'd like to say good bye to the actually good roleplayers that I met here...

Why, you may ask, am I leaving? Here's a list.

1.) Too many Powergamers, and Metagamers, that when they're called on their ****, they ignore, and they call it out for actual RP.

2.) Too many assholes, who kill just for fun.

3.) Very little actual good RP.

4.) Just... Worthless people, everywhere.

5.) Being completely ignored on several occasions, on forums, and ingame.

6.) Not really that fun anymore. My first few days were amazing... Then it all died, just... Ran out of content.

7.) Not enough staff intervention when RP is breaking, or rules are breaking.

8.) No one really pays attention to what happens.

9.) People don't really ever look for logic, when they're in groups. They just claim its how it is, and because majority says so, its true.

10.) Nothing to do any further.

Do you feel that you have a solid grasp on our lore and an understanding of the standards set forth to be a member of this team?:

Yes.

Why do you want to be an AT member and do you have the ability to work and collaborate with others?:

I want to be a part of the AT team so that I can help people who want to be in our community join, but also to help them if they're new to roleplay with definitions, and such.

Do you recognize that you will be given extra responsibilities such as working on the LoTC Wiki, assisting the AT in creating guides and helping new players with their questions upon logging into LoTC?:

Yes, and I will do my best with each and every task given to me.

Is there anything else you would like to add or that we should know about you?:

As I said in my own Whitelist Application: I do professional Roleplay sometimes. With that, comes experience that not many have when it comes to MCRP. Another is that I may as well be a dictionary. I know almost every term, every word, every conjunction, etc. and with that, I can help players with definitions quite a bit, and help them understand about certain concepts if they don't immediately understand.

Tell me a joke (Better be good!)

No! You tell me a joke!

...

Fine, I'll tell you a joke, but only because you asked so nicely...

Doctor: "I'm sorry but you suffer from a terminal illness and have only 10 to live."   

Patient: "What do you mean, 10? 10 what? Months? Weeks?!"

Doctor: "Nine."

So... It's been under review for about two weeks now. Has this been forgotten about, or?

+1. Exellent with the magic he already uses, and a great roleplayer altogether.

What Magic/s did you learn?: None yet.

Who/how did you learn magic/s?: I taught myself through books and taking notes, as well as weeks of studying the Void, and Voidial Translocation.

Offer an explanation of said magic/s you learned: Conjuration is an arcane magic, -which "uses the most of your manna unlike any other arcane science"- where the mage constructs living creatures or objects from the void(A book. by Joe_Blackman 3). As long as conjoured creature or item still exists, manna is continuously drained from the caster to keep that construct up and moving.  One who starts out with conjuration is better off practicing creating things like small insects in order to build up the connection to the void and the person's manna capacity. In order to summon anything from the void, you have to have a great understanding of what you are going to create; this means you will need to completely know the... per se 'Blueprint' of the construct, and thus build it layer by layer and generate it into the physical realm. If a Conjurer does not have a good understanding of the object, or creature he or she is trying to create, it will either fail to be summoned, or be summoned as either a vague version of the real thing or a pile of sludge. Once a mage has constructed a creature, the creature will follow the creator's commands willingly. After the conjurer feels confident in his or her knowledge about the creatures and objects the mage has gathered, the Conjurer could try to make hybrid fauna. If the mage is master at both conjuration and elemental evocation, the mage could join the magics to create an elemental.

Provide evidence that you've garnered to said subtype: Check Logs, I've been in the Draugr library, and you should see me talking to myself a lot. (About the magics.)

Creator [mc name and ic name, n/a if not applicable]: N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature: So, first I'll explain what ghosts are. Ghosts are souls. They are made when either A: A mortal who died was killed in a violent mannor. or B: When a mortal died, they were not properly buried. Both reasons A and B, are possible ways for a ghost to be created. Ghosts haunt their death place and their surroundings, the only ones not binded to their place of death are known as "Revenants", and "Poltergeists". Revenants are good, and poltergeists are bad. Revenants are seen with a blue-ish aura, and poltergeists are seen with a red-ish aura. They are commonly used in stories, as they can be quite frightening, but also quite helpful.

MC name: maxschell

Character's name and age: Jordan Croatoan, 21

Character’s Race: Farfolk

What magic/s did you learn?: Clerical Healing, and other Clerical magics.

Who/how did you learn magic/s?: Lots of training and faith in the Aengul Xan.

Offer an explanation of said magic/s you learned: Clerical Healing allows Jordan to tap into the holy magic of Xan, and channel his power to heal, and strengthen himself and others. He sees himself as a conduit for Xan's power, and wishes to better the world. He cannot heal natural, or supernatural ailments such as birth defects, aging, curses, or dark magic. Jordan can also emit a holy light from the palm of his hand, that can be used as a incredibly weak weapon against unholy, acting as more of a repellant, and lightly heal normal people.

Provide evidence you’ve garnered to said subtype: Not sure how to prove it. You can check logs, I've looked through every bookshelf in the library several times, and spent numerous hours in temples/churches. He's also prayed to Xan several times, as well as slain Daemon in his name. He has pushed himself past his limit, several times, almost dying a few times to help others, and do things he believed Xan would like.

Do you have a magic you are dropping, due to this app? If so, link it: Nah. My last application was denied.

This is an early application, and I have to wait for four days, but I made it now so I can work out kinks in it before it can be accepted/denied.

MC name: maxschell

Character's name and age: Jordan 'Crow' Croatoan. And 21

Character’s Race: Farfolk

What magic/s did you learn?: Voidal Translocation

Who/how did you learn magic/s?: Jordan learned his magic from speaking to several different mages, and one ascended. Alongside that, he spent days in different liberaries, and did as much research as he possibly could. He did testing, he read up on the planes of existence, different magics, gods, and even science. He combind his knowledge and started trying to teleport. He tried again, and again, passing out from energy and mana loss, and came close to death even, but eventually he figured it out, and he was able to teleport minorly.

Offer an explanation of said magic/s you learned: (Like, what I can do?) Minor teleportation of himself, and other objects. The ability to anchor a sort of 'Magic Camera' where he could temporarily view a distorted version of the room he placed the Anchor in. He also learned how to sort of Faze-Step, where he would become incorporeal, yet still somewhat visible, (But distorted), and move for a little bit further than he can teleport. (Though it takes longer to recover from.

Provide evidence you’ve garnered to said subtype: I'm not sure what you mean. If a MAT member could help me answer this question, I'd appreciate it.
