I think I am in touch with the needs of roleplayers, and am able to do my best when it comes to assisting roleplayers joining the roleplay and existing roleplayers. I hope to use this role to improve the roleplay experience for everyone and ensure that we have quality roleplay for as long as possible. We have many different ways to roleplay within this region, all of which have their unique charms to them. I hope to bring these unique charms into the limelight and encourage roleplayers to roleplay in new, creative, ways if I have the honour of serving on the RPC once more.
Thank you for considering my application.

8. What is godmodding and when is it allowed?
‘Godmodding' defines any action or ability that gives a player or a group of players an unfair advantage or is otherwise not realistically feasible. It is also used to define the abuse of out-of-character information for in-character gain. It is never permitted and can lead to your removal from the Roleplay if done repeatedly.
9. What is the Roleplay Committee’s primary role?
The Roleplay Committee primarily serves as an appeals body that has the authority to regulate or manage the roleplay as a whole through the passage of Handbook amendments and resolutions. It is also tasked with ensuring the roleplay is what the roleplayers want it to be.
10. Why do you believe you are best suited to serve on the Committee?
Since the roleplay's founding, I have played an instrumental role in shaping it to fit our citizen's desires. My experience being one of, if not the longest, serving members on the Committee shows my knowledge on the matter, for my advice is almost always sought by the Committee and by my fellow roleplayers whenever an issue arises. I believe the Roleplay Committee functions best when I am there to help.

10. Why do you believe you are best suited to serve on the Committee?
I've served on the RPC a number of times in the past and I've also been involved in many RPs over my 2 1/2 years on NS. For me the VFs RP is different to many others that I have been involved in (in a good way) and I would love to play a role in helping it continue. I believe I'd be a superb addition to the RPC, with both my prior RPC experience and general RP experience.
