Ok, because I'm cool, and because with the amount of administrating i've done over my (almost) 2 years of Minecraft RPing, I have here (below) written (for this thread EXCLUSIVELY) an application guide. Yes, this guide may be applied to most servers but probably will help you the most on applying for this server:
Quote from :"How the Application should be" »
First Name: This is where your first name should go (kind of obvious)
Basics Minecraft User Name:This is here for your benefit if they happen to like your application, so don't lie How long have you been playing SMP?: This is here to find out how familiar you are with the current up-to-date version of Minecraft. Be honest, there isn't really a right answer here. Lying would only make it look awkward in the future when it shows that you haven't actually been playing as long as you say. Do you have RP Experience?: This question has been added to the application to find out how mature you are in a roleplay setting. People who are generally immature don't usually end up RPing much whereas mature, devoted people will spend a long time RPing. What is your birthday?: again, don't lie. Knowing your age just allows the administrators to judge you on your level of life experience and devotion. If a 6 year old applied, even if his application was amazing (though there might be exceptions) he probably wouldn't get accepted until they found he was mature enough, whereas a 24 year old will be accepted a lot faster because at that age, most aren't wanting to blow everything up and they also have gone through school. They generally have the spelling, grammar and punctuation that makes a lot RP so much more efficient.
Role Play Character Name: This is obvious. :tongue.gif:
Character Race: Your character's race can be any of tose listed, Demon, Human or Elf. This isn't much of a restriction as your character could have been from an odd tribe, or have defections hat make them different. My character is Albino so it makes him look more human than Demon. :tongue.gif:
Character Description: This is what your character looks like to others. Here is where if your character owns tattoos on his/her body, you would tell us. Purely physical appearances is what you are trying to show everyone atlhough things like: "He has a slightly insane appearance when he smiles" are wonderful descriptors. So, in effect, try to put as much work into making this one the second most detailed answer in the application.
Character Bio: Now, as far as I'm concerned (and from what I've derived from posts) this is for explaining the Psychological side of your character. Again, without including history) please give a descriptive, detailed effort into this one.
Character History: This here is probably what you'll be judged on most. This should be your character's life story. Treat this like the most important story you've ever written. If it isn't fun to write, you're doing it wrong. If it isn't fun to read, you've done it wrong. This answer should capture the reader attention and mesmerize him with it's awesome details. Here, let me give examples of two possible answers:
Answer 1: "Serin had many wierd things happen to her in her life, most were cool. She climbed trees when she was a child and so she grew up to be a normal elf. She went on adventures and had tonnes of fun. One day people came to her village and threw her into their wagon. She was left on the side of a forest after being brutally raped and abused. Promising to never let that happen again, she trained for a long time in that forest, making it her home. She keeps training to this day."
First off, this is a fairly good, to the point, history of Serin's life. Now what we could make this is a whole lot better. This wasn't very interesting to write, and so it probably isn't very interesting to read.
Lets try again
Answer 2: "Serin had many strange things happen to her in her life, most would be amazing lessons and she would learn much from them. She loved to climb trees. Great oaks, pine or birch, it never mattered as child. So she grew up to be a fairly normal elf. Many adventures had many outcomes, turning her body smooth and defined. One summer morning day men came to her village. these men had an almost tasteful evil around them. They went straight to her village chief and murdered him before any questions could be asked. The village was far to scared to do anything and the Men went to gather up the women. They bound and gagged all of the women and killed the rest, leaving the eerie feeling of death lingering on the wind. Watching from the back of a wagon, Serin had the image burned into the back of her memory. The Men finished up and returned to the Wagons. Setting off they soon reached a small clearing in a forrest. Taking the Women aside one by one, they brutally raped and abused the girls. When they couldn't stand any longer, they passed out. Serin was awake the whole time this happened. Soon after the man was finished with her, he loosely tied her to a tree and went back to Camp. Serin fell asleep fast. Wakingup she had found herself left alone. Untying the knots with her mouth, she vowed to never let that happen again. Serin devoted herself to trained for a long time in that forest, eventually making it her home. She is still training to this day..."
See the difference?
Character Class: This is whatever you want. Whatever suits your character the most, NOT what youd like to be using in game.
Place of Birth: Don't say you were born in Immortalus as it has been written that you cant.
-EDIT-
When will WhiteListing take place? I know people should stop asking and it will happen when it does, but I'm just curious as to if there is a possible estimated date? Two days from now, three? Just wondering as it probably would help everyone to know something like that, maybe add in the thread that you shouldn't ask for WhiteListing? :tongue.gif:
-EDIT2-
People, please use the Edit button, conveniantly located on thebottom of your post. Triple posting is lame and double posting is to. Have something to say? Put it all in one post like I have done, that way it is much easier to read and takes much less space. (*looks at Sonic*)
should i redo my application?? it would be heplful if I knew what to do... Well I'm not forcing you guys, but it be nice if I knew what to change on my application in the next few days.

Sorry, I've been busy on the server lately, Hmmm... I do remember your app, but not if it was any good or not. xD Yea just go ahead and repost it or even just quoting it would be fine if its easier for you.
Edit: And to those of you wondering when the whitelist will be updated, we try to do it every few days. But if you really want a certain day then I'll talk to the others about a once a week thing so you know when to check back, but then again once a week is a lot longer then it is for most people now.

Role Play
Character Name: Hansen Vargund
Character Race: Human
Character Description: Hansen is about 6"3, and has gotten a tan from his years of living in the harsh north mountains. There is only about two months of snow not falling, and the mountains covered all year, he is built as a strong man who faces many of the dangers and wild animals to keep him and his tribesman safe from the dangers of the harsh frigid wastes. He has a stern face and light brown hair and eyes, which makes him look almost like a savage killer, but, he is one of the most caring people if you can get past his, "outer shell".
Character Bio: I was born some twenty years ago, to the harsh northern mountains on a continent known as Swadna by my people, the resources were scarce so even the most powerful were constantly deprived of food. This is how me and my people got by day to day, they had almost no food, and we learned to trust each other, as we would have huge celebrations for the coming and going of the great ages(seasons) which would mean either a time of prosperity for us, or the harsh time ahead. All of us hated, disgusted, and raged at the coming the Snar(ice) age, it would last what seemed like forever, but my kinsman would grudgingly will our way through it. By the time i was about five i was skilled in some forms of throwing tools, and of helping the hunt. We then moved down to what is called Cratisha by the outsider's. We lived in a clan not far from the city but out of sight, which we had people go in to trade to these nice people. I continually got burned and so my face is somewhat scarred. I hope that this new land of immortalus is as great as the tales have told, as it takes time for word to reach us.
Character History: He was born twenty or so years ago, as a small child he was raised in the harshest of the northern mountains, then him and his tribe(s) moves down the mountains to better area known as Cratisha. He then learned how to live life by meager ways of thievary from stealing from other tribesman and other tribes themselves. He quickly learned how to peer through the holes left by villagers and wait 'till they left and quickly only took small portions so no one knew he took anything. Now he has left as one of the "respected" tribesmen off onto his journey to immortallus.
Character Class: Thief, tall so he can reach to high places, but has learned to crouch and hide into some very small corners and unlit area's.
Place of Birth: Swadna--Northern Mountains-- Moved to cratisha to go to imperilus
Changed up the story to fit, fixed two spelling errors! I have to repost *mainly for a bump* but also as mine is 3 pages back >.<*

1.) I said I would be whitelisting today to make sure I include as many people as possible.
2.) I will be going on vacation for ten days starting at 4:00 A.M. (04:00) EST tomorrow.
3.) If the server crashes, I have supplied the administrators. with the number to reach me at. I will try to get it back up as soon as I can. But I cannot guarantee perfection.
4.) I will not be online to update classes/quests completed etc.
5.) I will not be online to play on the server, pretend Nexus is out of town or something.
6.) I hope you guys enjoy the server still :biggrin.gif:
No I already said you're too young, sorry. The server contains age inappropriate content for someone who's just ten or eleven years old. Also, you don't have the education and grammar to properly Role play. Even if you were older I wouldn't consider your application because it took about three seconds to complete.

Let's see. (I don't know whether or not you are on the whitelisting list, since I cba to find it)
* You have a few spelling/grammar errors. Please fix =)

* Please elaborate on the bio/personality. So he's wary of dwarves and welcomes new friends, but which kind of person is he?
* Please elaborate on the history as well. Why did the dwarves leave him alone? Was he hiding? Did he run? Why did they even attack? Why did the humans adopt him? Etc etc.
* Please list one of the three birthplaces, Flutius, Imperilus or Cratisha. (You will HAVE to do this to get whitelisted!)
Could someone please tell me why i got removed from the whitelist?
If its because i havent logged onto the server yet, it's because i've been fixing my minecraft.
Sorry that getting on has been a pain for you tweak. Just be patient, they'll get their stuff together soon.
