2. Age: 19
3. Gender: Male
4. Country: England
5. Have you read the Tome of Citizenship or agree to do so before signing into Hollow World for the first time?
Yes, and I agree with it's contents. Although I am a little uncertain as to what level of fantasy is allowed in builds. Don't worry! I'll get some soundings before attempting anything out of the ordinary.
6. How do you feel about the 'roleplay' aspect of our server? Do you have any experience roleplaying?
The roleplay element is something I've been considering for a while; but I've found myself unsure whether joining another would be a good idea. For now.. it sounds interesting. I may find in a few days the system in place isn't for me. I've roleplayed via IRC and roleplayed on WoW for a few years in the past. Though this will be my first Minecraft RP server: I have little doubt that I should be able to adapt easily.
7. Please introduce yourself to the community; explaining who you are, your interests / hobbies and why you are here in 8 sentences or more.
Who am I? Well, I'm jobseeking. Yeah, and in this economy too. Still, I hope it won't be too long until I find something; until then I'll be playing a fair amount of Minecraft.. some Team Fortess 2 as well. (Engineer/Pyro/Medic, since you ask)
Erm.. I like the Shin Megami Tensei games, Pokemon, fantasy and sci-fi books (Robin Hobb in particular)...
Otherwise; a nineteen year old Londoner who's rather a geek really. Used to play World of Warcraft, dabble in League of Legends, mess around on my laptop.. I do enjoy the roleplayer side of things. One reason I rarely hit level cap even with the ease of levelling was my normal behavior of making my surly dwarf or distant mage drink in a tavern than actually slaying monsters.
In minecraft.. I'd rather be mining or working on something than flying around and solving my problems with powers. I fear that those players rarely mine OR craft. Which... surely is the point of the game Minecraft?
I do wonder..
Hmm, what else.. enjoy some webcomics.. read books.. like my steak medium rare.. eat far too many skittles.. like mlp... No; I don't think there's anything else relevant to add.
8. If you have examples of your work please attached them to this post using the "upload a file" button or link to the image or video.
Alas, I do not have any video of my builds. For one; I have NO idea how to create such; and I don't believe myself to be the best at photography or the like. Yes, I've tried; yes, I stink.
9. Is there anything else you wish to share with us?
My character is already formed; mostly my own habit of investing any blank canvas characters with a backstory and history as I interact with them. In essence; a potion-brewer with a mysterious background that I know, but I'm not about to tell everyone off the bat. Or without some interaction or plausible shared backstory.
One thing I did NOT like about WoW RP addons was when people added backstories that I couldn't possibly know. Then again, it was pretty funny to read 2 sentences with a dozen typos saying the character was a half-dragon-demonspawn or something.
And yes; I actually DID meet one of those. Was the most entertaining thing in the tavern to play a perplexed elf asking what the other character had been drinking.
Ah, getting off topic; aren't I?
Anything else.. anything else... what plugins do you have? I couldn't find a list on the wiki for instance. I mention this because I'm rather fond of Bookworm; as a good bookshelf can hold some funny or informative information. Or even reveal interesting facts about a character that -while not essential- can be fun to discover and use in roleplay.
Oh; and Showcases.
10. Are you aware that the use of black magic (xray,xray texture packs and ore locator mods) is not allowed on our server, and a banishable offense?
But of course! If you didn't I would think there was something wrong with you.
11. How did you find out about our server?
Oh, I typed in "minecraft server list" or something, got a list; picked one. My previous home server has just... well.. it's just not one I'd like to associate with. So I tendered my resignation as a Builder there and left.
12. Have you voted for us?
No.
Well, not YET. I've yet to play on the server, yet to meet people, yet to see what the plugins you have are like..
I don't know Hollow World yet. I don't actually know if it deserves a vote. I'm hoping it is, but voting means that I believe the server merits it right now.
The site so far is very slick; and I like it.. so if you've got a site to vote for homepages; sure! But otherwise..
Not yet.
I commend you for your preparedness in making a backstory beforehand. I'd recommend that it fits in with the server lore and whatnot though.
