T306206 - Pred whitelist application

[REDALERT]

Byond ID:T306206

Marine Name (so we know who you are; if you play alien mostly, state that here):Chandler Owens

Name of the character you want whitelisted (The name your predator will use. This must match your in-game predator name): A'soual

Are you familiar with the Predator Code Of Honor? I have read it, and understand the code and classifications of prey, and the ways to treat them.

Character background (An ADEQUATE description and story of your predators background): A'soual is a reserved yautja, often keeping to himself and observing. Favoring to observe prey for long periods of time, and respect them from a distance. Although a silent reserved type he will often talk for length of time with other that share like interests, in studying the actions of prey when they believe non to be watching. Often favoring letting his prey come to him rather than taunting them.

How do you intend to play your predator (as in, describe HOW you will act/play your predator)? I will prefer to spend long lengths of time observing people, looking for natural leaders that step up and guide their kind, and the self made survivors that show extreme ability to survive against all odds. Often respecting them and waiting for them to come to me, only taunting when needs be to get their attention.

Why should we whitelist you? A tough question, I love the RP aspect of this game, and as such intend to spend my time as a predator, if I get to become one, merely observing and awaiting a worthy prey. I would be perfectly happy going rounds on end without killing anyone, and even being violently attacked by a group just so that one round I may find a worthy advisory.

Have you been banned from CM in the last month for any reason (we will check, and lies may result in immediate denial)? In that last month, no, the only ban I got was my 5th day of playing for EROG. Hot headed I went to the forums and tried to appeal a EROG ban *facepalms* I have sense learned

Are you currently banned from any other servers and if so, why? No

Do you understand that any player - donor or otherwise - can have their whitelist status revoked should they break our rules or disobey the Predator Code of Honor? I fully understand, and expect the standards to be applied to me the same as the rest with no exceptions, and should I make a mistake I would be perfectly fine with losing my whitelist should I receive it.

(EDIT : At looking how other people make these I fear I have made a horrible mistake... time to start writing a full lore, but I will still leave this here just because might as well give short and sweet a shot)

Should have looked at the other accepted applications first. One paragraph of back story doesn't give enough info about your predator. -1

[Imperator_Titan]

Yeah this simply isn't up to par unfortunately. I've never heard of you and ya have a low forum post count. The character background is actually a short story. Compare it to other accepted apps for reference the next time around.

Can some forum moderator delete this so I can write the short story correctly and post that without having two applications open?

[Drownie]

Following by the rules, you still will have to wait a long period of time to post a new one. By the way, don't focus in making short stories - just let it flows without size limitation, most stories which doesn't lack quality also doesn't lacks in size.

[REDALERT]

I don't quite follow, the prompt doesn't really explain it, yet everyone seems to write short story's about their preds, and the read-me doesn't say much about it. Also I totally respect waiting the correct amount of time, I jumped the gun clearly, and thus should learn not to do such things again. But I still must ask, what am I trying to achieve with the background exactly? If I knew what I was trying to show with the background it would help.

(Edit : geeze, 3 months for denial :/ this is one lesson I wont be forgetting for quite some time)

[Ghostdex]

Nothing much else to say, I hope you take the criticism to heart if this ends up denied and create a better app next time. With that said, -1.

[REDALERT]

Oh I am taking this very much to heart, very embarrassing to be honest, and a clear case of me jumping the gun. 3 months is a good long time to cool down and think about what I did. Also if it gets denied? No offense but I'm pretty sure we can all see where this is going. slightly the reason I wanted to delete it, I'm just wasting people time with this foolish mistake.

[Drownie]

what am I trying to achieve with the background exactly?

The background is the lore of your predator, here you'll put the story behind your character instead of saying "John the Clown is a Predator, 7' is blooded and seeks for women" - nowadays people are investing in more "medium" size stories, most likely because the story has become important as it is a signal to see how you will act in-game and how many EFFORT you put in your pred app.

You can find good examples like this in the approved whitelists, I don't think you should be THIS worried as this "deny" only gave you time to be more active in the community/getting some respect in the main character.

Let's see:

- I don't remember seeing you in the game, but that might just be me
- You have low forum post count, which should be improved
- Your Predator name is okay, at least it's short and easy to write. Then again, my dyslexia reads it as "arousal" for some reason...
- Predator story is, as everyone pointed out, way too short
- Your playstyle sounds a bit boring, but that might be my personal bias. It seems like a default for most Predators really. Try looking for something more creative that would make you stand out

-1, better luck next time

[REDALERT]

Its strange that everyone says they don't see me in game, I play daily now and have been for 2 weeks straight based on EST. As per the forum stuff, yes I don't use forums very much, guess I should get more involved. Also that's pretty funny that you read it like that, the story I totally understand, and I hope to make amends for such stupidity on my part after the 3 month cool down passes. As per the playstyle, I love RP, and would like to maintain little to no combat really, I prefer the RP aspect. Not to say I wouldn't do combat, I intend to only fight people that show excellence in combat, or leadership. Preferring to observe players and waiting, I would probably be more of a trapper and assist other preds in locating worthy prey as I am not the best at melee, does rather make me useless as a pred however I will spend most of these 3 months focusing on honing my ability to fight hand to hand. Depending on how good I become at it I will most likely change my story.

Also I would like to say thank you to everyone taking the time to read and respond, I intend to take all of this to heart, and hopefully learn from my hot headed mistake. Every response truly does help me learn more about what I was getting myself into, and what hopefully in due course of time, and if permitted what I will get into.

Resolved - App withdrawn. Re-apply in three months. I'd suggest you get more well-known over this time to help.
