Things aren't going to be the same. One change that's happening is that the server's theme is switching from jungle to desert. Our resident techie has a solid scripting knowledge of deserts in particular and so we're playing to his strengths. Further details, we'll we'll be sure to let you know.
Volcanoes (better ones).
Dungeons (actually implemented ones).
And those wacky admins again.
There, and now you know.
For those of you who are reading this (few read it when we were up, I doubt there's going to be many while we're down, so you're special kids) - we wish you a somewhat tentative welcome back.
so, what was wrong with the jungle? I personally don't really mind, as long as the character data is kept through the map change, I'm all set.
Oh, and paplooo and roaringgoatbear1, you might want to touch up your profiles before they get denied, which they have a good chance of being.
Paplooo, your character proposal is alright, however, it is very linear and I personally think you could be a bit more descriptive with him. I am not saying you need to make a new char, just trying to help you portray him better. 1 thing to avoid is to not delve into your characters personality while describing his appearance. As for the class, well, that is your decision, but i would advise choosing one class to start off.
as for your Open Answers, try thinking outside the box. look back at other characters to see how they answered their questions. This doesn't mean to copy another person's answers. what you have is the generic one liner answers that most people think will be accepted. Not only have I seen other profiles tossed aside because of this, but I have also seen a ton of profiles with almost that exact same answer. Instead of just saying that your character kills them utterly and completely because of something, describe how they kill/ drive the wolves off. Your second answer could use a bit more description, but can do in a pinch.
Aside from that, overall presentation could use some touching up. spacing, bold, italics, underline, all help in making the profile look professional. For help with that, just google a roleplaying forum or two (KHRPF and RoleplayGateway are two big sites I know of,) find the character sheet most accepted for that site, and match it. What is listed as required information is only the most basic your profile should be. It's up to you to add anything you feel the existing profile doesn't cover.
RoaringGoatBear1, Ill just be blunt. Your profile is missing almost EVERYTHING needed to even be looked at. I know for a fact, profiles like those are automatically denied. For the reason- Lack of INFORMATION. For your character appearance, you should describe everything from his skin color to the clothes on his back. for your class, level the overall cockiness of it, and if you so desire, give your genuine opinion on why you chose it. it could be as simple as "Because I like everything to do with Fire," or something along those lines.Your character goals are also generic and overused. I have seen literally those exact words on about half of the submitted profiles, it's not funny. you also completely skipped the Open Answers that are REQUIRED of every profile.
I do not mean to discourage either of you from joining, however, I know what it's like to want to slap a character together and play for the sake of playing. I know a few of the high-ups for this server, and personally know the guy who is doing the majority of the accepting of the profiles into the server. He will say pretty much, if not more, everything I just did. However, the difference is if he says it, he also will say that you are denied and need to try again. I wish to spare you this, as that would discourage you more than any constructive criticism would.
HELLLLLOOOO Everybody I am BACK! I will now continue to regulating previous applicant, I'm not sure exactly what Macabre will be doing about the old applicants, but in any event I will be going back through EACH page to find them. So I will be thorough, as so nobody will say something along the lines of "When am I being whiltelisted?" or "My application got skipped" without it being true. Macabre, if you're watching this, Please message me.
Okay sorry bout that last post, I thought I was on my proper account, THIS is my proper account, forgot the email to it for a bit. I am Maerd302, just needed to say that, mainly why I put the name score, I will be continuing my previous role as Applicant Moderator, unless further told otherwise by an Admin.
hmmm i am exited the server is coming back up...i think it is anyway.... i dont seem to be able to access the link http://www.minecraft.../#entry16743315 please post one that does work as i cant wait to rp with you guys again
What attracted you to this server?: Well, I've been looking for a server to call home. In particular a hardcore roleplay server. This seems to be fitting for my roleplay needs. A tribal experience sounds quite fun
Characters appearance (Be descriptive!): A lean, middle aged man who feels at the peak of this abilities. I have black, slightly brown eyebrows and hair. I have a beard that I sometimes cut with my hunting knife, not often though. I wear a black cloak/coat, and I have slightly green leggings. I have brown leather boots.
Was there a certain class you wanted to play? If so why?: I would like to be a rouge, sneaking up on my opponents, jumping over them and stabbing them from the back. Heres what I picture a Minecraft rouge would look like: Full dark red leather armor, an enchanted sword, and an enchanted bow. I know I probably will not get this, I will not ask for this but thats just my image of a rouge in Minecraft. I admire the cunning of a rouge, and the tactical skills.
Goals for your character: First off, I would like to get the kit of tools I mentioned above. Second, I hope to become an experienced, and refined member of my tribe. One who has many friends, but definitely not be famous.
The following section involves "Open-answers"as to how your character would react in the following situations
1. You find yourself in the jungle at night returning to your village, and two wild wolves emerge before you. They begin to circle to flank you, what do you do? I assume a battle stance, and mimic the snarl of a pack leader. I have a special place in my heart for wolves, so I realize killing them, or hurting them is out of the question. A wolf briskly charges forward and lands a cut to my arm. I grab the wolf before it draws back, and stun it with the bottom of my shortsword. I grimace as the other wolf rips some of my skin off my back, and I spin around, executing a roundhouse kick over the wolf's head. As the wolf is dazed, I inject an exotic spider venom, putting the wolf to sleep for a few hours.
2. Two members of your tribe begin shouting at each other in the village center,. You are drawn to them curious as to what's happening, they seem to be arguing over a corpse of a fresh kill. Probably about which of the two hunters gets the first pick of meat. What do you do? "Alright, what's going on here!" I yell. They explain. "Well then, both of you, point to what part you want." The hunter with a rabbit's head on his belt immediately points to the sirloin. The other points closer to the neck. "Then what the heck are you arguing about!?! You both want different parts. This is a waste of time that you could've just eaten the meat, and gone hunting so the rest of the village doesn't starve!
If they both had wanted the same part
I grab the part they desired out of the cow, drew my hunting knife and sliced it in half. "Each of you gets one half." The hunter with the rabbit's head on his belt speaks up. "But this portion is hardly anything!" he complained. I scoffed at him, snatched the meat from his hand, and gave it to the other hunter. "Well then, why don't you get yourself a bigger piece?"

Storyline is fantastic. Some of the classes are a little useless and some of them are practically the same, I think you could cut a couple of them out and the server would still click. I liked the idea of the hobbit class, along with that PvP idea. Laborer could be just made into a profession not a whole class, and you shouldn't have to be a Witchdoctor to enchant. You could separate all the crafting professions into sub-classes in a way and just have it so you can only pick one. The hunter and the rogue are practically the same class you should think of some different ways to make them different still yielding them the same advantages and disadvantages. The 20 second warning is really unnecessary in my honest opinion. If you are exploring out in the jungle you should be prepared for even the biggest surprises, there'd be no point in picking a rogue for the stealth ability in PvP if you had to shout out and tell them you were about to jump behind them and stab them in the back.

The ideas are nice but I wouldn't be giving criticism on a dead thread... Sorry again for bumping.

I run as fast as I can to the nearest tree, climb it, get some wood, make a sword, and slay the wolves. 2. Two members of your tribe begin shouting at each other in the village center,.
