Not in the strictest sense environmental story telling. You are there to be an antagonist and kill people. If you round remove them after a fair and good fight, well, they can sit it out, just like you sit it out if you die. Round removing people is OK: going on a killing spree and round removing 8 people on low-midpop in the middle of the round is not.
On to your application:
This is an oxymoron. If you’re going to turn around because your prey says something metagamey like ‘I’m alone’ or ‘I only have a rifle’ then this whitelist isn’t for you. We are against promoting the idea that prey is willing because then it leads to people metagaming and refusing to fight due to the possibility of predators not hunting them if they act harmless and don’t fight back.
The answer about stolen prey is acceptable.
On to your story:
There are some minor typos, syntax errors, and punctuation errors. You don’t need to have perfect grammar, but it’s noticeable in your application.
This is supposed to be a story you take your time to write and curate - what will you do when you don’t have time to correct and curate things in-round?
Your name, Heph’aiist, is unfit for a predator. The whole story about the ‘minotaur’ just makes me think you were inspired by Greek myth god Hephaestus.
The story idea itself is original, and you seem to understand how a Yautja communicates with prey. The issue is that you overdo the misspellings and distortion. Remember also not to have conversations that are too drawn out.
With that being said, thank you for applying, and please take the criticism above to do better next time and also to better understand what is expected of the role and how to play it, as you have potential. Similarly, we hope to see you more often in round because nor I nor others have seen you much if at all.
