Ok. Hold your horses people. When looking at any app there are few thing we all need to consider.
1) His character will have to be protected by others.
my point exactly. this guy can't mine for materials either. he needs to have a system of people that hold him up like all scientists do, but he is basically stating his character wont look for connection in others. If there is more detail to it like "he gives people a shot, but its very easy to fail him after a few days..." I would be more convinced. This guy sounds like he has no reason to hate people other than he already hates a few for events that are never told. That "unexplainable" dislike is called dissociation, but you cant just say someone hates the world and expect me to fly with it because "lots of people do" or "you cant explain it". even in real life im going to dig into that person and find out why. i do it all the time. everyone has had a reason that they tell themselves is the reason. This will be the true meat of the character and could make a great story!
3) Lore: Does the story works within our lore? This story doesn't. He technically didn't do anything wrong, the story is actually OK. But his character still lives inside the vault. And when you begin your adventure in Outlands Australia, you are butt naked in the middle of the tundra surrounded by cows. So this story fails here.. thats why its status will be "pending"
cant believe I didnt think of that
Dont take this criticism wrong. I really think this could be a great character!

I must of explained myself poorly. I don't take your very sharp and clever observations as criticism at all. Actually I would encourage more people to do what you are doing. I can't catch every thing. I have certain parameters in place that help me root out "bad weeds" but its not bullet proof. My intention is that servers grows with a strong, smart and mature community. Thats why I try to make sure I read "between" the lines and not just the written words.
To be specific, what you point out here AMX
this guy can't mine for materials either.
I didn't even thought of myself. But it is true and it would add so much color to the his story. He will have to "socialize" and relay on others. That puts him out of his comfort zone and it makes for great story telling.
I have undertake many projects recently with this server. I am one of the Event coordinators and I have a few planed already. I am the only active whitelister (aside from AJ and TJ whom are the Server's owners). I am one of the creative heads behind SMWS. And I have one more idea that I think could add a lot more immersion. I wasn't going to talk about it but this particular character Kaido has created just fits the bill to well.
I was thinking once we get rolling with the official webpage, that in order to access certain "perks", the characters should do follow up's on theirs stories. Bjorn is not the same lonely old man that traverse the tundra years ago when he join the world. Now he holds a powerful base, with many skilled members and impressive architecture. So why not keep some sort of "record" of his adventures. Most of us write the "background" and forget about who we are oh so soon! This will force people like Kaido to be more careful about their "initial background stories". Maybe he is just a brilliant scientist that after many years finally learned to fence for himself. But I would know about this by reading his journal. Each player will have a post where they constantly add more lore to their stories.
Is just an idea, and its not in place yet, but give it a thought. Think about Leon, the grumpy old man that build one of the first working radios. He died and I know this because I was playing at that moment but there is no recollection of his journey and I know it was a great one. Think about other players that are writing books and opening libraries, well the "story mode" would have them update their "background" constantly.
Any ways , Kaido's status is still "pending" thanks for your observations amx.
Cheers
Take a look at this map . DO NOT BUILD ON SPAWN. There will be consequences. The map is huge, use it.

The problem with that is the fact that the map is huge XD. People who move out from spawn are less likely to RP with new people because the new people have to go to huge lengths to find them.

Could we have a bigger, more high res version of that?

Christianity in a nutshell: We have all sinned, so we deserve eternity in hell. But God (God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit) loved us so much he sent His Son to die for us, to take the punishment meant for us. All we need to do is accept it, and we have heaven headed our way.

I will look into getting a bigger and better picture.
Mack, Spawn was moved so people will still find Praven first and be able to RP with the old man town and the "sinking ship" that some how is not sinking .. XD
Also I am far away from spawn and I RP tons ! what are you talking about fool ? XD
New server website: http://outlandsapocalypse.webs.com/
also we can;t do higher res because it won't upload to photobucket. Sorry.We did have one that was so hi-res at one point you had to open it in a third-party program.

I will not whitelist anyone that doesn't post his or her app in the new official webpage. You can post it here to, but USE the new webpage.
You think we could add that to the OP TJ??? Events and everything else will be organized there, so it only makes sense we start using it right away.
CheersAlso one more thing, I know I am busting someone's balls with this (LOKI ! ) but we do need on SPECIFIC SWMS sub forums, because battles and other books have to be written and then can not all be in the OP or it will be a cluster ****.
cheersI really don't care in what section you put it , it just has to be like the ones we have for factions and such.

For the SWMS you just need to tell me what you want to name them and how to organize them and ill ask loki or you can message him.
Also for the apps, they can apply here or the website it doesn't matter. This thread was created for apps anyways.

Alright, I won't hold back from playing applicants that don't use the webpage then. I will email Loki about SMWS then, but is very simple all I need is a "sub forum" Under GENERAL or SERVER that reads "SMWS" Then everything related to that subject will be in like 1 folder per se.
