O.K. Thanks. Ill make sure to change that riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight now.

Like last time, my metagaming and powergaming definitions were cut short. Here are the completed versions. Sorry for the mistake. Metagaming: Metagaming, to me (now ? ) is when you basically help your character out by telling them things that they wouldn't know usually if they were living in Atlas (and no, praying to your deity so they can PM your friends on discord for some help with a boss is still metagaming ? ). Some examples of metagaming is when you go on discord with your friend, a member of a group you are attacking, and learning about your enemies through your traitorous friend. Basically, it's cheating, and to hardcore roleplayers it is really annoying. Metagaming is using out of game help to upgrade or benefit your character. Poweremoting, also known as powergaming, is when you make your character do something that is basically impossible for them. For example, my character Falx Messorem is an assassin. I can't just throw a cow or something, or one-shot another player, as that is an example (a perfect one) of poweremoting. Whether I'm poweremoting or not is really easy for me to determine, as I just have to think if I could possibly do the thing in real life, albeit with better speed and slightly better strength. I could not backflip off a cliff and survive, but I probably could backstab an orc and run away after.

I recently (about 1 minute ago) read the definition of powergaming and metagaming on the LOTC wiki, and realized I was WAY off the mark on that. So, because I don't know how to edit my application, I will put the definitions on here (in my own words, for all you English teachers out there ? ) . Alright, here we go. Metagaming - Metagaming, to me (now ? ) is when you basically help your character out by telling them things that they wouldn't know usually if they were living in Atlas (and no, praying to your deity so they can PM your friends on discord for some help with a boss is still metagaming ? ).

Basically, it's cheating, and to hardcore roleplayers it is really annoying. Metagaming is using out of game help to upgrade or benefit your character. Powergaming - Poweremoting, also known as powergaming, is when you make your character do something that is basically impossible for them. For example, my character Falx Messorem is an assassin. As such I have little to no magic abilities, aside from basic ones such as blinding or other assassin magics. If I made my character summon a meteor or shoot a fireball, that would be a great example of poweremoting. Whether I'm poweremoting or not is really easy for me to determine, as I just have to think if I could possibly do the thing in real life, albeit with better speed and slightly better strength. I could not backflip off a cliff and survive, but I probably could backstab an orc and run away after. Ok, finally done. Thanks for reading my application and my endless legions of comments, and I hope be able to play LOTC soon ? .

Hi, I'm creare8, or Falx Messorem, and I noticed I made a LARGE mistake in my application. My first application stopped loading correctly, so I copied all my large text boxes and placed them in a google doc. I later refreshed the page, and pasted my original entries, and I noticed that my explanation of powergaming wasn't complete. I really want to be a part of this server and this community, so here is my whole explanation: Powergaming to me, is similar to pulling an all-nighter just to level up once. You put everything aside, and just try to do one thing. Whether that thing is leveling up, completing the grindiest quest ever created (seems like there's a lot of those), or just farming a boss for that last item you need, powergaming is usually unenjoyable, and ruins the game for you. When you finish powergaming, however, sometimes the game becomes more enjoyable because you can focus more on the storyline and just having fun than farming. Done! Thanks for reading my application, and I hope to see y'all ingame soon! Another LARGE mistake, I did not entirely paste my metagaming definition (reasons are on the comment above) here is my complete definition. Metagaming, basically, is when you go BEYOND the limits in a game. Similar to breaking the rules, metagaming is more like beating the rules. Like modding, many indie games are able to be modded, so you can metagame. However, I believe metagaming on Minecraft is better than all other games, because all the mods and plugins are insane. The sheer amount of different htings you can add or change in Minecraft is astonishing, and I hope Lords of the Craft will be a good example of this.
