What other RP experience have you had before? I've played on other rp servers before but never found one i liked enough to become a regular.
Define Metagaming: using OOC to progress the story with actually working up to that point IC
Define Powergaming: Giving no desirable options of roleplay to others by taking an overpowing stance. Being a general doucher.
Have you read the rules? i nommed the steamed veggies.

Name: Brian "Red" Cancheni
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Appearance: He's a 6 foot tall man with enough wrinkles on his face to tell he's lived a life under gunfire. He wears gold and red plate armor that oddly has a whole 3 inches from the heart. Brown hair and leather boots, He's a soldier wanting to sleep in his bed tonight but ready to move out on a moment's notice.
Roleplay Example:
Backstory(2+ GOOD paragraphs):
Red walks into what appears to be a deserted town. Although, once he walks past the local bar he realizes that this town is anything but. It's a community run by criminals and escaped prisoners that drink by day and raid by night. It's not clear why the original locals haven't abandoned this settlement. They serve and work with the scumbags despite their stealing, cursing, and killing. Red keeps looking but doesn't make his presence known. More intel needs to be gathered if Red wants to upset this beehive.
Fifteen minutes later, Red walks by a circle of houses and takes a look inside one of the windows. A drunk thief slams the door as he enters the home and sits at the table. His children and wife greet and him and the family has a nice lunch. It is then that Red realizes that although they are a criminal society, disrupting the families from whats seems to be happiness is not something Red does. It the completely evil that he seeks to quash. He gets up and leaves the community unheard and unseen.

What other RP experience have you had before? The Vault(Several Launches), Previous Retro Future and Heavy WoW RP'ing
Define Metagaming: Meta Gaming is the act (Which is punishable, with a beating of un-moist melons) of using information your character would not have (Often OOC) in character. (E.X asking for someones location OOC and using it IC to find them)
Define Powergaming: To power-game is to essentially tell others what you are doing whether they agree to it or not, or also something like: #ThatDaveLad handcuffs Game and beats him silly for touching his melons.
Have you read the rules? Yes i ate some Steamed Veggies as i was reading them!

Name: "Biggs" i.e Bigglseworth II
Gender: Male, Gentleman
Age: 45
Appearance: Never before have you laid eye's on such a refined gentleman. His big mustache matches his hearty laugh, a stout man well rounded but by no means fat. Bowler hat atop his brown haired head and often seen carrying his finely engraved oak pipe, Biggs is a man with class! His cleanly pressed Suit is clearly one of wealth.
Roleplay Example: As he carefully padded some ShortTop leaf into his pipe, he looked fixedly over at his apprentice.
"Is something troubling you Master Dave?"
The young man looked sullen and down trodden.
He lifts his pipe to his face and brings his match to the leaf, giving it a few short puffs.
"Tell me young Master, I hope this isn't about those, canteluope's of yours!"
No reply.
"Look here, I wont have you sitting here like a damn dog thats on it's deathbed! We both know what the problem is!"
The male looks up. "And what problem is it that I have."
Biggs takes a few more puff's of his pipe the embers leaving an amber glow on his rosy cheeks.
FIN - Aha! a cliffhanger (\('-')/)
Backstory(2+ GOOD paragraphs):
Biggs, a man of class, is heir to the ''Beardo Melon and Leaf'' fortune - What is a Beardo!? I hear you cry well let me tell you!
A Beardo is a particular type of humanoid, most noticeable by their impressive facial hair! They travel the globe in search of mighty new styles for their beards and moustaches and new strains of ShortTop Leaf to smoke in their pipes. They are also some of the worlds best engineer's having invented some of the first mechanical agriculture machines (Mostly due to their lust for Short Top might i add!)
This is where our Biggs comes in! Heir to his father's company, who inherited it from his father, who inher...well you get the idea. He has set out into the world, in travel for many new Leaf's and potential business opportunities.
On a previous adventure, he had made aquitaince with his loyal friend and co partner Dave Kingsely. They had opened a business venture together and it was rather successful. Sometime later however he took of around the world in pursuit of pleasures. Meanwhile his young niece Christina was getting into all sort of troubles! On his return he bought his niece and her husband a small villa in the Palceonic mountains of Pangea. Once again he is ready for an adventure, pipe in hand and coin in purse!
What other RP experience have you had before? I've played Vampire: the Masquerade (both online and on paper), classic D&D, and I was a 'staff' member, city/event coordinator, etc. of a hugely successful roleplaying guild on GaiaOnline back in the day, as well as the owner of my own much smaller RP guild as well. I've experience in character / ability approval, 'creating' cities and events through text, etc. I've played characters ranging from 9 year old girls to village elders. I DO NOT have any Minecraft RP experience, so it may be a bit strange for me to transfer from post-to-post RPing to live-action RPing.
Define Metagaming: Using OOC information that your character wouldn't actually know to gain an advantage in character. Example: If your character wants to blackmail someone, and you use information about that someone's daughter that you found in their bio, even though your character has no history with them.
Define Powergaming: Entering a long string of events that takes away the other players' abilities to react or reply in their own way. Choosing actions for other players, etc etc.
Have you read the rules? No, I was too busy eating steamed veggies.
So there's my personal application, but I'd like to get a bit of additional information while I'm creating my character. Such as mechanical body modifications, technological limits, and a bit more info on the environment of the world. Is it entirely steampunk, like, pollution and artificial air renewing systems, etc. or is there like a part of the world untouched by advanced civilization, that kind of stuff.
Patience is a virtue; also, it's been a few hours, people don't reconsider that quickly. Spamming the forums about how you aren't getting on and why you should isn't helping your case. Just wait it out, if she still says no, you'll have to deal with it.
Amazing app writer and a good builder? Where were you two weeks ago lol
In other news I finally changed my avatar, bask in its glory
Zim's obsession with Linux.
I'd call it pride not obsession
Obsession.
Pride, obsession, I prefer the term fetish. :3
In other news, don't you love past history? Here is a little example of what we are not looking for.
Pride in being able to use it and it isn't a cluster**** of **** like windows is :3

Unless you'd rather not ever play on the server. :3

I sure can, once I've all the information needed to create a proper character and have done so. ^.^
Great app, but could use a bit of the server lore. :3
Alright.
Stolas, that was when I thought the people here were dicks.. But the reason I posted that was mainly to get on the server.
How is that any different to you apologizing and saying all that stuff just to get back in this server?
You forgot your ign, bio is like 1 paragraph, not 2.
And David Kingsley? This is 100 years from original retrofuture lore.
David stop being lazy.
