Meta-gaming: This is when you use outside info in a role play environment. I dispise this as it take away from the reality of the roleplay.

Its a good app but as it goes down it grows rather sour...

Firstly Power-gaming is to act out roles for both yourself and another player in such a manner that it prevents the other player defending, talking back or resisting. I.E

"Bob threw a spear at Jack's chest" "the spear killed Jack instantly, he couldn't stop it."

But I would like to talk about your character in a more blunt and plain way, you seem to play out a rather kind and noble man who helps his father go up a political ladder so to speak. Although this is okay its rather sketchy as how can a younger boy help his father in any way shape of form in political affairs? I hope this could be explained in a RP profile if you decide to make one.

I would also like to note the last questions in your app, the question that asks what is you diet you proceed to explain that your father hired the best dietitian in the land to help you... this is a medieval period server and although we use such things as redstone and such I don't think a dietician would even exist.

Lastly I would like to seriously ask abou the have you wrote a book question, you answer that you have wrote your father's biography at the age of 3- 20??? am I reading this wrong or are you trying to tell me that your character began writing a biography of a man you barely know and probably cannot even talk to: and yet you still can write information regarding him?
I hope I'm wrong because I don't have to even say that cannot be used.

As of now it is a good app!
but please address the problems I have noted above and reply back them acknowledging them. We can then pass you and move you on to whitelist.

Thanks!

OK thanks for your advise. I will adress some of those concerns to the best of my ability.
Firstly, I probably should have clarified this point a little more clearly. When I meant younger I meant around 19 or 20. Although I am only 17, my character is about 24 years of age. I could see how this could be confusing.
Secondly, With the dietitian, I mearly placed that in as I thought it added to my characters story. It shows his dedication to good health and keeping his body and mind in its best condition, while it also ilustrated that this was easier for him than some others as he came from a home of means. If you would like me to remove this from my app then I will.
Thirdly. When I said I wrote a book at 3 and 20, I was just trying to be funny. I was attempting to talking in a more medievil way, 3 and 20 being how they would say 23. I can see how this could be misunderstood and I could see how that could be missunderstood.

As for power gaming, I will make a conciouse effort to know that and avoid that whilst on this server(if I make whitelist)

I hope I have adressed all you concerns and that I will be able to use your server soon.

Yeah great job, I will white-list you right away. Welcome to the server!

Thank you
