Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing:Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, normally a made up character. Metagaming: Describes any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game.In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions. Power-emoting: Power-emoting or god-emoting is an act of forcing the result of one's actions on another character, typically without the other player's consent and not giving the other character a chance to do anything about the emote. For instance, "Player1 kills Player2", "Player1 hits Player2" and "Player1 steals X gold from Player2" are all power-emotes.
Power-emoting is heavily frowned upon in most roleplaying communities, since it takes the freedom of action away from the player being emoted on. The typical solution for this issue is to emote attempts instead of finished actions. For example, typing "Player1 tries to stab Player2 in the chest with his sword" will give Player2 a chance to dodge or parry the blow. In-Character Information:: Full Name: Robert Eddard Arryn Current Age:19 Sub-race (if any): Northern Human Past /History(include childhood, major-events, etc.2+ paragraphs long): Robert is the son of a renowned builder of King Godfrey I, who helped rebuild Arethor. His father was then given a small castle and village, as well as many troops in the outskirts of Arethor. His mother is not his father's wife, rather he is a *******. He was loved by his father at first, until he was thrown out of the castle for murdering the Cook for calling him a *******. He went to the nearby town, and found refuge in the inn for free, as everyone respected him. One day, as he woke up, he noticed a lone falcon, flying above the inn. He was amazed at its strong wings and speed. From then on, he and his best friend Timothy trained in the back alleys for hours thwapping at each other with swords they made of tree branches. At age 15, he was a very good sword fighter, he had joined the guard, and he had a well muscled and tall body. It was December 31st, the day of Heaven's Renewal. There was much festivity, but all of a sudden horns blew. Out of plains several hundred bandits came, and pillaged the town. When some two hundred armed knights came out of the castle, half the village was dead, and Robert was found with Timothy and his daughter dead in his arms. He decided to depart from the small castle and town immediately. As he left the gates, the town Blacksmith, a great friend of Timothy and his for helping him gather iron and such to smith, came running up with a cart covered by a . "Wait," he said, "I have made for you the greatest thing I have ever made!" he continued, as he took the sheet off the cart. Robert gasped, as he saw the armor, beautifully crafted out of silver, with a blue tabard embroidered with a falcon, flying above the moon. "For you Falcon. Lo! your arms fly with the speed of an eagle speeding to his prey, and the strength of one, ripping his prey apart. Go swiftly my friend. Avenge our memory." And so from that day on, he has vowed to help those in need, no matter how great the plea. Ambitionsfor the Future:[/b] To one day become a great warrior of renown, and for all to know him as the Falcon of Oren. Personality:[/b] Robert is a very proficient sword fighter, with a good heart, willing to save anyone, even orcs, can grasp tactics well enough, loves birds such as falcons. Skills:[/b] Extremely good with swords, Fairly good leader, good with tactics.

Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]____[b] 1.Whilstin the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good.There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b] Answer: I unsheathe my sword, slowly creeping behind him, waiting for him to do something suspicious, poised to charge and yell for the guards.[b] 2.Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing,in which sits a small cobbled cottage.Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him.You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b] Answer: I quickly check the surrounding area for anything I could use to help him, before coming at the bandits from the side, hoping to kill the first before the second notices. If the old man does not run, then he may help me attack the bandits. I reason they may break and run if I charge at them, they may have very bad training, 3.You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has noset prices.Heis willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices.Whatdo you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b] Answer: I ask him if he has anything of worth that involves falcons or eagles, especially armor or weapons, stating I will pay much beyond what he may ask for. When he says he does have a sword which has an eagle made of silver set in the crossguard, and a sapphire in the pommel. I reply saying I am willing to buy it from him for all of my money, satisfied I may have a sword worthy of legend.
How can apps be boring because no orcs are inside it? As we already said, we don't want apps to be: My parents were killed by orcs and today I seek revenge for the orcs who killed them.
No, I mean like if we can't have much to fight because orcs are gone, it will be fairly boring to play.
Fellow players! We are announcing the temporary closure of our 3rd Age Lord of the Rings server. We would like to announce that we are preparing for a 4rth Age, that we are writing ourselves, and the making of a new map. Our Lore shall overwrite Tolkien's 4rth Age,meaning everything shall be changed except all that that was in the 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd Age. Our experience with our previous server has prompted us to make changes to the way we handle events and the players that are the focus of these events. This brings us to make changes to the Lore, to the Heros plugin, and to our plugins in order to balance Lord of the Rings and Minecraft to make a more professional, yet still casual and enjoyable Roleplay experience. Unfortunately this leads us to close this forum post. However, we will open a new one. Our new thread will feature all you need to know about the 4rth Age, the rules,and the whitelisting applications. A few weeks before the opening of our new server, we will post a new thread to allow people to apply beforehand. We hope you enjoyed your experience on this server and we will be looking forward to seeing your applications!
- The RingsCraft Team
For our apps, how will we make them interesting if there is no more orcs invading Gondor/Rohan and stuff? I doubt Harad will be able by itself to get into Northern Gondor or Rohan.
Roleplaying experience: Not much, but for several months I played LOTRO to roleplay as a badass:)
Age: 15
Country/ Time zone: U.S.A/ EST
Where did you find us?: Google
Why do you want to join us?: Hmm, let's see. When I was 7-8, I REALLY got into Lord of the Rings. I have played the hell out of almost every Lord of the Rings game out there, especially Battle for Middle-earth 1-2. I got minecraft last year, and have since been looking for a good LOTR roleplay server. I hope my search is over:)
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would be a Gondorian Ranger, because they do not need strength in numbers, they could have 2-3 rangers and kill 20-30 orcs in the forest, and that's badass.
Have you read the rules? Aye Pippin.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Sauron, Saruman, Gollum, The Witch-King & His Nazgul.

What is roleplaying to you?: Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. While the Oxford English Dictionary offers a definition of role-playing as "the changing of one's behaviour to fulfill a social role",[1] in the field of psychology, the term is used more loosely in four senses:
To refer to the playing of roles generally such as in a theatre, or educational setting;
To refer to taking a role of an existing character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's role, often involving different genres of practice;
What is metagaming in your words?: etagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself. In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions.
What is powergaming in your words?: Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as (in video games, boardgames, and roleplaying games) storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie. Due to its focus on the letter of the rules over the spirit of the rules, it is often seen as unsporting, un-fun, or unsociable. This behaviour is most often found in games with a wide range of game features, lengthy campaigns or prize tournaments such as role-playing, massively multiplayer or collectible games.[1]
Name: Isilvorn
Race: Human Gondorian Ranger, Male
Age: 17
Character Backstory: Isilvorn grew up in the city of MinasTirith as the son of a lower ranked captain of the guard. As a child, he was heavily interested in archery and swordsmanship. He shot at apples, and smacked around other children with a wooden sword his father bought, with their little money. When his father died of influenza, his only prized possession, a beautifully made steel sword he called Morier-rist, the elvish name for Dark Ones Bane, was passed to him. His mother wished to move away from Minas Tirith, so they made for the city of Osgiliath. However, in the wild, they encountered a band of orcs. They killed his mother, and he was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, he was in the place known as Henneth Anun, the haven of the rangers of Ithilien. They explained to him what happened, and he decided to become conscripted into the Rangers, and make a new legacy for his family.
Personality traits: Isilvorn is an independent and relentless man, who is a patriot, and thinks of Gondor as his family. He has a deep hatred of orcs, and will not hesitate to help any in need, even if it may kill him. He also has a mind sharper than most.
Physical description: He is a tall, darker skinned, well muscled young man with a dark mop of hair, with eyes the color of dirt. He is not unattractive, but not necessarily beautiful. He wears his father's sword, as well as garments of the rangers.
What is he/she good at?: He is an amazing sword fighter, but despite years of training, has no talent with a bow. The Rangers of Ithilien have taught him how to live off the land.
Roleplay Example:
Isilvorn: Traveler! Are you alright?
Wounded Traveler: No, I am... am... gra..vely wounded. Orks,.. they came upon us...
Isilvorn: I understand. My mount can hold you, we make for a safe haven. No harm will come to you, friend.
Ultimate Goal: Isilvorn wants to make a difference in the war and make a name of honour for his family.
