Hi guys, I said I was going to make a post explaining all this, so here it is.
(Before I start, I DO have a girlfriend, and a great social life ;D)
Garg and myself have been role playing for a long time with many of our friends on various different games and platforms, We've even developed a few of our own Lores/Worlds to role play in. We mostly Role play Medieval fantasy, like this one is. This one particular Lore is called "The world of Thesiliar" Most of what we come up with is drawn from a number of different mythological or fictitious backgrounds, For example, we include some of the following into our lore: Greek Mythology, Norse Mythology, Lord of the Rings-esque themes, Ect.
The reason I am making this post is to look for some new roleplayers who would be active and add some new creativity to the role playing. We do have rules, and the like. Here is a direct copy of the Rules Post by Garg.
1. Notify out of character comments with (()) or OoC:.
2. Keep out of character comments to a minimum.
3. Do not Godmode or Metagame, ever.
4. Be empathetic to your fellow roleplayers, no one wants their character to die without their permission.
5. Typos can be understood to an extent, but avoid them as much as possible. (Through spellchecking and sometimes proofreading.)
6. Not everyone can type up novel 1000+ word posts, but keep actual in character content above one line.
Here are some Universal Rules.
1. Do not post pornography, this is the forum host's rule.
2. Do not spam. Spam shall be defined as double posting, posts without content, and any advertising* whatsoever.
3. Be courteous to fellow members.
4. Ad hominen arguments and flaming will not be tolerated.
5. Moderators and Administrators will not punish members for something that happened outside these forums, don't ask for them to do so.
Remember to have fun, follow local rules, and obey the moderators.
*As a note, I will not consider casual linking as advertisement, and I will probably warn you if your post comes close to advertising. The enforcement of this rule will not result in a ban unless it is a repeated offense.
Also, We do have a set lore, which requires a Set racelist;
Currently allowed character races are...
- Human
Elf
Half-Orc
Gnome
Halfling
Half-Elf
Dwarf
Goblinoid
Enslaved Giant*
Enslaved Minotaur*
I will also allow a few, rare and limited races for people who I believe can roleplay them.
- Draconic
Vampiric
Orc
Freeborne Minotaur
Freeborne Giant
Fey
Construct
Planetouched
Shapechanger
Illithid
*Enslaved refers to Giants and Minotaur that have been enslaved in the past, and therefor live amongst humans, usually as low-class labourers. Enslaved Giants and Minotaur do not necessarily have to be slaves. It's just the closest word I could come up with.
There IS magic, but we are trying to make it as userfriendly and as easy to comprehend as possible. It will also be reasonably powerful. For example, a single mage wont be taking on armies at a time. Likewise, neither with some hero character. We try to keep it as realistically possible, and if you create a Character, they CAN die and you should be aware that just because you are a warrior, does not make you invincible and superhuman. Here is a template of a Character sheet you might see one the forums
Name-
Fullname, Nickname, and any Titles
Age-
Age in years
Gender-
Male/Female/Etc
Race-
Allowed character race
Job and Affiliation-

Equipment and Clothing-

Personality and History-
Emotional traits, a brief history
Physical Traits-
Hair colour, eye colour, hair length, hair style, skin tone, body build, etc
Notable Skills-

Now, I know that was alot to read, but If you ARE still interested, please post below or talk to me on IRC or in-game, and we will be looking for decent role players we can trust. Flamers and trolls please don't waste your time.
P.S: Here is the Current Map, with all the regions Labeled. *Edit: "Ytala" name has been changed to "Erema"
Looks awesome, and great, and cool, but I can't do it. I would probably forget while I'm out getting drunk and partying.
can we do this on irc?
It would be on our forums, because chat roleplaying requires everyone who is part of a particular roleplay to be present. Maybe if we can arrange the occaisonal chat Rp, that's fine, but for the most part we have forums for it all. :D
I'll play, if you get several others to join too. I've never done computer roleplaying (unless you count Oblivion). I used to play DnD like 9 years ago. I keep my eye on this forum
I am watching this.
I would also like to join, I've played D&D and various other RPG's for 10 years and I'm on these forums almost everyday.
Good to see people are interested, Garg and I will be getting everything in order soon. :D
Soyeah, go and register, Please use your Minecraft name for organization purposes, and make a character sheet and start Rping
You can ask me or Garg any questions you may have IC or OOC
I'll play, but someone needs to explain how this works, beyond the character sheet, as I'm either daft or blind :/
If you mean how the roleplaying works, just check out the current roleplay section, its a pretty good example :]
i put on my robe and wizard hat
i'll check it out
we need a non serious version cause staying serious is too hard
THIS CREATES HAPPY ON MY SPECIFIC BODY PARTS
ok, so you probably didnt need to know that but meh... NAH im jk wid you guys but seriously check this out. im not submittting my character sheet because i have one guy that I play... havent decided whether to make him straight human or planetouched or...mayhaps shadowtouched? It would be like planetouched from the shadowmoors.

PS I did this before I ever saw this site and I use this character for ANY rping I do. I just Simply love this guy. Also I will update it every 2-3 days or so, so keep in touch...
This looks like fun. Can i get in on this? My IGN is Elmoxaccilan and I've played on 1 other RP minecraft server. Tell me if i am accepted =)
Hey, i've been roleplaying for about 9 years now, i have a life, but dont have one aswell...nvm that....im a metalist...and a Pro RPer becuse i also act :D
"Domestic" would be a better word to describe the "enslaved giants" and "enslaved minotaurs."
I also run an RP server, but mine's alot more loose. We let players evolve the world however they see fit. I respect you guys for trying an RP server, but from the sound of it, it might be a little too overwhelming for some people. Check out my post "The Lost Lands" on here. I'd love to swap ideas with you guys, so please PM me! :)
I would like to join your rp server becuase it seems alot like a more serious rp server with acuall story and character basing will other do not.
I have only had minecraft for mabye around 2-3 months and i have only played 1 other rp server but i ahve played rp servers on garry's mod from steam and many other games such as fireemblem and other rpg games that develop as you progress through what and how you do things.
I dont do any gmodding or meta or griefing becuase i for one dont really that all know how are for grieifing and whinning im just against it and like to play in a matured enviorment. Usually my applications are longer but i am tired so this is all i am going to be righting i guess so hope you accept me into your server.

Garg here, I, for one, don't have a life or a girlfriend. I also roleplay. It's completely unrelated, really.
