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?

I walk up to the dwarf and say, “Good day sir. I need your help for I have a blunt blade (even though it is for practice and should be blunt), but I would like a discount of 25%.” The helpless dwarf agrees, and once he is done I thank the dwarf and pay him with a 5% tip. Once I arrive home safely I strike the blade on a rock until it is blunt again and ready for practicing.

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?

I grab the bow I always carry with me, shoot the orc, and tell the dwarf to run for help while I fight off the others. Once help arrives I tell them the situation and fight till all orcs have retreated or died.

http:///Users/mbrolwes/Desktop/Picture 3.pngWhilst 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?:

I help the man up and hand him his coins. I tell him of the closest Inn and give him something to eat and just enough money to get the cheapest room in the inn. I then go on my way like nothing happened.

Greetings Applicant, I regret to inform you that your Application has been Denied.

Reasoning for your Verdict:

- You Did not Post your Application on the Minecraft Forums.

- Your Metagaming Definition is Incorrect.

- Your Poweremoting Definition is Incorrect.

- Your Biography is vague and does not meet the minimum requirements. I suggest you give more depth and detail upon your Biography and also try to implement more of our lore. Some of this can be found on the wiki. Try using existing or previous settlement names in your biography as well.

- Your Skin is Not posted.

- Your 2nd Open Response Question could use the combat situation to be more elaborated and developed, as to me it is very vague and could be deemed powergaming/poweremoting.

- Overall, your application lacks Effort.

I suggest upon your next application you give it some more effort and give more depth and detail to not only your biography but your open response questions as well. These are critical points of the application and are used to see how well you've developed and fabricated your character. Have fun with your next application.

You are able to re-apply after a period of 24 hours.

I bid you good luck,

Thu'um
