I think that this is the first genuinely good application I've seen come through
in a very long time.  He seems to have the experience of GMing, seems to know
what he wants to do in this game and, most importantly of all, can actually
write coherently.

He gets my vote for going through to the second round.

Bye for now,

Nick

Hello!

I would like to submit an application for my PBeM, for consideration into
your group.  It looks like you have a varied bunch of PBeMs here and I
believe that my PBeM is quite different from the ones you have listed.  As
far as my experience in PBeMs goes, I've been roleplaying online for about
four years now.  I've GMed three games (including this one); two of them
were Star Trek PBeMs, the USS Horizon and the USS Nova.  I've also played in
numerous games including a sci-fi X-Files-style RPG which was based around
the lives of a few people in a small west coast American town (the name
escapes me, unfortunately) and a couple fantasy ones although they didn't
last for very long.  Most of my PBeM experience lies in the Star Trek genre,
where I've roleplayed in various RPGs (both group affiliated and
non-affiliated alike) and I'm currently the AGM of the USS Magellan
 http://www3.sympatico.ca/darkcore/magellan ).

Here is the PBeM blurb:

Sixteen PBeM RPG

Sterling, Missouri -- the epitome of Smalltown, USA. You're greeted by a
beautiful tree-lined main street, with various shops ranging from hardware
stores to hairdressers on both sides. Seemingly friendly people smile at
you, without a care in the world. You might even bump into your Calculus
teacher at the local coffee shop. It's the perfect place to live.

Except for one thing. You've never felt so alone in your whole life. You
feel like everything's falling apart, that you have nowhere to go, that
you're in Hell on Earth. So much for perfect. Welcome Home.

Sixteen revolves around the teen-angst filled lives of a group of teenagers
who, despite their varied problems and issues, have at least one thing in
common - - the need for friendship and love.

(The homepage can be found at: http://www.altern.org/darkcore)

(If this does not fit the type of blurb you are looking for, please let me
know and I can change it.)

Thank you for your consideration and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,
Scott (GM)
