Where are you from?: G'day mate, Im from Australia. Can I grab you a coldie out of the fridge mate?
Why do you want to join SPQV?: I would love to join the SPQV because I have a vast amount of knowledge of the Roman Empire and I want to meet people who share the same interests. I used to play on a historical RP server called Romecraft and I can show you some ideas we implemented into the server. It was heavy RP and you could be banned for meta and powergaming.
If accepted what sort of Role Play do you want to pursue?: I would most likely join the Legion and work my way up the ranks. I would also like to become a politician and lead Veii to success. I would be the son of a wealthy merchant who bought me a commision in the Legion because the Punic Wars (wars between Rome and Carthage) were beginning and troops were desparately needed.
How knowledgeable are you of Ancient Rome? (If you don't think you know enough, please explain how you will learn enough to role play) I have passion for Roman history and am a walking encyclopedia on Roman history. I more specifically delve into Rome's long and arduous military history and look at tactics,ranks,banners and weaponry. I would like to study History at university after I finish high school and hopefully do a Doctorate in History so I can become a Professor Of History. History excites me because once you delve in deep enough you develop a thirst for knowledge and you become more inquisitive.
Have you Role Played before? If so list a few servers/games in which you have done so: I have played on the RomeCraft Server and a few Fallout RP servers such as FallCraft:New Vegas and MafiaCraft. I thoroughly enjoy roleplay servers because you can let your imagination go wild and enjoy yourself.
Please put in your own words what power and meta gaming are:
Powergaming=An unfair advantage in roleplay e.g. stealing something from a house when you lack the materials required.
Metagaming=Using OOC information to reveal a charcter's identity e.g. knowing a guy is called Mr Smith without actually meeting him.
What you expect from your fellow clan members: I expect my fellow clan members to treat me with dignity and respect.
Hey Duckman sorry for the wait. You have been approved and I am PMing the server ip to you :)@ Tom I was under the impression you already applied and were already accepted? hahaha but application accepted again PM me if you need the IP
Why do you want to join SPQV?: I want to join SPQV for multiple reasons. First, I am just as intrigued about Roman History as the next history buff. Their heritage is rich and beautiful.
If accepted what sort of Role Play do you want to pursue?: A lowly man, haunted by a dark past that destroyed his family, with a desire to succeed to prove that he is truly worthy.
How knowledgeable are you of Ancient Rome? (If you don't think you know enough, please explain how you will learn enough to role play) I am not a "genius" about Ancient Rome. I want to learn to Role Play it through interaction with a clan like this.
Have you Role Played before? If so list a few servers/games in which you have done so: I have never truly "Role Played" There have been times where there was minor Role Play in some servers, but nothing 100% Role Play. Again, I want to learn and enjoy the experience, which is my reason for applying to this clan.
Please put in your own words what power and meta gaming are: Power Gaming is having non-natural abilities, i.e. 1 shot killing with bare hands, able to shoot fireballs 100000 blocks away, etc... Meta Gaming is going beyond the roleplay, Like being a captain of a ship with knowledge of air to air combat.
What you expect from your fellow clan members: The only thing I expect, and this is from experience, is acknowledgement. I want to be able to ask a question, and there be a response, even if it is "no" or "I am unable to help with that at this time" and not just lose the question through chat and eventually never be answered. I have left clans very quickly for this problem. Acknowledgement is a sign that clanmates are paying attention to ALL members, not a select group that tends to be together.
Additional Comments/Questions: As per the rules, SPQV
Wagonmastergeneral is our Aedile and in charge of clan activities and this forum. So any approved application by him is legit.
He also has said that I can get on for a while which is true. My computer I take to college will no longer run minecraft. As such Explosiv is the new mayor for Veii and will watch the town.
In response to visiting other servers I encourage it especially a role playing one. Talk to wagon with questions regarding this other server.
@Braska welcome to the clan! As mentioned I dont have the Ip on me due to internet problems. Please talk to wagon master for all the ips and to set up a tour/house in Veii

Thank you for the acceptance. I am eagerly anticipating the PM with the IP attached.
Hey everyone. Here is some good news. My other computer broke down which forced me to purchase a new one. I can now play again, and the clan is going to go through some major overhaul. we are expanding to other servers, and we will once again be openly recruiting.
Braska I don't want you to think we forgot about you. If you didn't get an ip message look in your inbox now. I sent you the IP's for both the servers we will be playing on

Oh no it is fine, I have been busy myself with work and school on my end. I am now open as well to play, so I would love to meet a few of you guys in game.
@ Paarthurnax and Osterlitz both of you are accepted I will be sending you each a PM with the server IP's
As an aside. We are still reforming our ranks with different leaders. We currently have the offices of Aedile and Praetor open, and will be holding elections shortly to figure out who will be filling those seats. In the meantime, I will be monitoring the forums now consistently so hopefully we won't have long wait times any longer for applications. Also, we are playing on a new server fresh map, in which strives to be as realistic a civilization building server as possible. Join us and make your mark on the clan, and on one of our clans developing cities

Where are you from?: The US.
Why do you want to join SPQV?: Because I am a massive fan of Roman and Grecian history.
If accepted what sort of Role Play do you want to pursue?: Probably military.
How knowledgeable are you of Ancient Rome? (If you don't think you know enough, please explain how you will learn enough to role play) I know quite a bit about Roman history from around 15 BC to 70 AD. After/before that I basically have no idea.
Have you Role Played before? If so list a few servers/games in which you have done so: Well in Minecraft no, but I do play Roleplaying games with friends and stuff.
Please put in your own words what power and meta gaming are: Powergaming is playing a game nonstop until you complete an objective that you have set for yourself. Metagaming is is taking the ruleset of a game and bending/exploiting it to use it in ways that are new and fun.
What you expect from your fellow clan members: Roleplay.
Additional Comments/Questions: I sincerely hope I get accepted, most clans I've joined were quite literally worthless. But this seems like great fun, and seeing as I love Roman history it seems a great fit.
I have updated our front page with the texture pack and updates on the clan in the post below it.
Most important update is that we are now on a new server! Come join and help us make a name for ourselves! note that we are not only looking for prospective soldiers. We are looking for people who like to RP, no matter what the job. With this new server, our clan can now role-play more than we have in the past, so joining the clan now and playing this server means you are making history of the clan. Come leave your mark!

Why do you want to join SPQV?: I have always been intrigued by roman history and literature. Since i was about 10 i've played RTW religiously. Seeing your profile pic Scipio, it immediately made me feel i had to be apart of this clan.
If accepted what sort of Role Play do you want to pursue?: Military. I have always loved Roman tactics and militaristic story's and to top it off, my favorite part of minecraft is the Pvp aspect. As a side job, i wouldn't mind mining.
How knowledgeable are you of Ancient Rome? (If you don't think you know enough, please explain how you will learn enough to role play) I'd say above average. Having played RTW, (although very disappointed with RTW 2) seen so many movies on roman culture, taken Latin class for 2 years, i'd say i have a sound knowledge on Ancient Rome.
Have you Role Played before? If so list a few servers/games in which you have done so: Not on minecraft, but i've been to renaissance fairs and enjoy the out of body feeling.
Please put in your own words what power and meta gaming are: Power Gaming: Where you play to reach and ultimate goal, and dont quit till its done. Meta-Gaming Sorta like strategizing ahead to play something out for when the time comes
What you expect from your fellow clan members: Avid players, friendly, willing to interact with a new member.
@wardt920: Accepted, Im sending you the IP's and our forum address
@SlamDrag: It is perfectly all right man. I was in the same boat a few months ago so don't need to worry. You won't get kicked from the clan, now that you have told us why
Also as an aside everyone, Power and Meta gaming are actually a bad thing when it comes to Roleplay. I wanted to correct some people on that. It seems the common definition on the internet makes it out as a good thing. Just for future reference.
Why do you want to join SPQV?: I've been looking for my first clan to join and meeting you on EF convinced me that you would be a reasonable clan to join.
If accepted what sort of Role Play do you want to pursue?: Probably a support ( citizen ) role at first. Resource gathering by mining and farming. Hopefully a little military later on. I'm extremely interested in the role of negotiator/foreign minister to other clans or the similar role of judging civil matters.
How knowledgeable are you of Ancient Rome? (If you don't think you know enough, please explain how you will learn enough to role play) Probably average among people who actually know about their Roman history. I took a few history classes on it, but I will probably need to brush up on finer points and such through articles and documentaries or other videos.
Have you Role Played before? If so list a few servers/games in which you have done so: I haven't ever really role played on MC though I look forward to the experience. I regularly roleplay with my friends and family however.
Please put in your own words what power and meta gaming are: Power-gaming=In a word? Unspirited. In more than one word Power-gaming (in the traditional sense) is maximizing your character to make it overpowered with all good characteristics and leaves out unwanted ones. It lowers the level of complexity for social interactions and situations because everyone's a suave, talented uber-man bypassing lower but essential jobs to get glory or power straight away.
Meta-gaming= Using knowledge that your character shouldn't know to better yourself or bending the rules of the game to accomplish the same task.
What you expect from your fellow clan members: Hopefully some humor but mostly just a group of people to play, interact with and be mature with (well at least sometimes). People who are helpful when I need help.
Additional Comments/Questions: The resource pack download doesn't seem to be working :/
We will be like true Romans and honorable to the last.
It's nice to know people think well of me. (;
