re: Congrats to Morovin, our newest Peacekeeper!

The application submitted by Morovin is as follows:

Quote:

***Please look over this >>>> thread <<<< before starting your application.*** Before we get started, did you read the "How to Join PR thread" (linked above), and do you understand our application/Trial system? (It is mandatory to do so to be accepted!): Yes

Age?: 34

Gender: Male

Where are you from?: New York, NY

What online game(s) do you play?: WoW, the Division, Wildstar, Swtor

What is/are your main characters in-game name(s)?: Morov

What class/role/specialization/characters etc. do you focus on (example: Sharpshooter Gunslinger, Holy Priest, sniper in Battlefront, etc.): Ranged DPS Ele Shaman

What level is your main character at this time?: 100 (in wow), 30 (in Division), 50 (in Wildstar)

What interests and activities do you enjoy spending your time on both in and out of game?: Well, gaming obviously. I like to explore the outdoors so I try to hike a few times a year. I also like story telling which is mostly fulfilled by my job as a camera operator and editor slash part time writer.

How did you hear about Pax Republica?: Former Member

What was it about Pax Republica that encouraged you to sign up with us, rather than with another guild?: Also, former member. I know what I'm getting into and the only reason I haven't rejoined is because my schedule was kind of insane.

Do you consider yourself a hardcore player, casual player, or somewhere in-between?: Somewhere in between casual and hardcore. Are you part of any other guilds/clans? If so, whom? It is ok if you are!: In SWTOR I believe I still have some characters in Defenders. In WoW I have a few characters in a friend's small non-active guild. Have you ever been kicked from a guild for poor conduct, unruly behavior, or inactivity?: Complicated. But I suppose yes?

Which of the following interests you most?: PvE Which of the following interests you second most?: Story Which of the following interests you third most?: PvP When you've been in a guild a long time, do you usually stay a regular member, or do you end up in/aspire to be in a leadership position?: Regular Member The following questions are to provide you with a quick insight regarding the trial requirements. Do you acknowledge that activity is key to our community and that failure to contribute to the community(every week unless on leave of absence) could result in possible removal from the guild?: Yes Do you promise to act with maturity, friendliness and courtesy towards all Pax Republica Members... and other SWTOR players?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must complete all the trial requirements given to you by the Pax Republica Officers to become a full member?: Yes True or False: You will re-visit the forums often over the next two weeks as you go through the Trials.: True

Is there anything else you would like to include as to why we should accept you as an applicant to Pax Republica?: Would love to join you guys in getting ready for Warcraft Legion (in addition to possibly whatever swtor has in store, but right now it doesn't look like much real pve content) Are there any questions about the guild you would like answered?: Nope, I think I know just about everything I need to for PAX. Once again to ensure you know how things work: "I read the "How to Join PR thread" (linked above), and I understand Pax's application/Trial system, activity rules, etc.": True

re: Congrats to Morovin, our newest Peacekeeper!

Welcome Morov!!! i'll save the guild history question for the interview, sounds like a story indeed, and with your affection for story telling, I can't help but be curious how it will sound. Could be the Star Wars fan in me, but I am for some reason picturing i C3P0 telling stories to the Ewoks in RotJ hehe.

Anyhow, have you hiked around any cool destinations so far? Do you have a crown jewel location on the bucket list that you would love to do?

re: Congrats to Morovin, our newest Peacekeeper!

I don't know if I'll be as great with the sound effects as Threepio, but I can try.

 

As for hiking, I moved to NYC a few years ago and I've done a little daytripping around Connecticut and upstate, haven't had time for anything too crazy. Me and my girlfriend are really eyeing a trip to Patagonia, I think that would probably be my crown jewel. Also have some friends who now live in Seattle, and the parks up there are gorgeous, trying to clear some time to head over there as well and do a long weekend camp.

re: Congrats to Morovin, our newest Peacekeeper!

Welcome to your trial process for Pax Republica! Let's get started:

During this welcoming period you will have 14 days to complete some tasks that will acclimate you into the guild and help you decide if we are the right guild for you!

Then, there will be three days for guild members to vote on whether or not they believe you should be allowed to join.  Virtually no one gets voted no... usually by then someone that doesn't fit in has already been asked to end their trials.

(If you need your Trial to be extended a couple of days due to a trip, or a serious emergency, etc., please contact an Admin and be sure to let them know when you'll be back.)

If you have any questions during any phase of your trials, a lot of helpful information can be found HERE.

Please post in your thread whenever you complete a task.

Here are your tasks:

Complete √ 1. Update your profile here at Pax Republica with a forum Avatar. ***NOTE***- Your avatar cannot be one of the generic default avatars that GuildLaunch gives you. It should be something unique so that it's easier to associate your name with some kind of image, this allows us to get to know you better.

Complete √ 2. Make an introductory post in the "New Member Introductions" area. Please use it as a chance to introduce yourself to the family, as this is a more permanent area for people to get to know you (your own "personal area" on the forums, if you will) than your application thread.

Complete √ 3. Either your Guild Launch user name should be your "main" character name in a Pax related game, or you should link your main character to your GL account, so that when people see your profile name and avatar on the forums, they also see your most often played character in SWTOR or whatever game so they can learn who you are. Here's how to do the latter:

  • Click on your name at the top right of the forums and hit "View Your Profile" in the pull-down menu.
  • See over to the right where it says "Stats"?  Click the link that says "Characters".
  • You may see a list of characters you've created on Guild Launch.  If you have already created a character with the name for your most commonly played SWTOR/WoW/etc. character (your main), go to the next step.  If not... click Add In-Game Info.  Fill out the fields to create your character.   
  • Now that your character is made, go to View Profile.
  • Click sites
  • Click "settings" under Pax Republica
  • Choose your main character and click "Post As".

Complete √ 4. Go over our Charter (our Rules and Regulations document) and be sure to post that you accept it. Please read it carefully BEFORE accepting. Click here for the Charter.

Complete √ 5. Log on in-game and whisper anyone of rank Justicar or above with your in-game name so we can add you to the guild. For a list of our rank structure and names of officers, please Click here.

Complete √ 6. Arrange an interview with an officer. The interview with be conducted in Teamspeak. The interview gives you the chance to meet with an officer and ask any questions you may have regarding your membership in the guild, and they will take the opportunity to get to know you better.

For a complete list of officers you can approach for an interview, Click here. It is YOUR responsibility to post in your trials thread that you need an interview and to let officers know what your schedule is so that they can offer to help you... or you can PM an officer to schedule your interview before Phase 1 is over. Please don't leave this until the last minute.

Complete √ 7. Group with Pax Republica members to complete dungeons/flashpoints, raids, PvP matches, questing, or any kind of group content with Pax Republica for around 2-3 total hours.  It is your job to post in this thread with what group content you complete with current Pax members. The point of this step is to get in groups with Pax members to get to know them, and for them to get to know you!

► Voting Phase

8. Members will have 3 days to vote on whether you have passed or failed as a member, so sit back and relax!

While you wait to pass your trials, you should check out the entire forums if you haven't already.  If you're a raider, be sure to read all the PvE forums - raiding guidelines, DPS parses, etc.  You should post in the PvE forums a thread saying you're interested in raiding with your time availability, current gear level, class, talent spec, how many datacrons you've collected, if you have companion bonuses, etc. Same thing with PvP or GSF... post in those forums with similar information if you're interested!

This is also a time you can ask around about how to join our Pax Republica Facebook Group and our Pax Republica GroupMe Channels.

 

 

Good luck!

Morov, I have updated your trials with the parts I was able to verify.  Have you completed Step 7?  If so, just ask those people you were playing with to come and post here to validate it.  If you haven't, just let me know and we can run something this weekend!

Yup, I played with Dom for a couple hours doing Tanaan stuff and such. I got DC'd from a dungeon grindathon with Frosty and Shawn, but I'm always down for more. Maybe next week I can hop on and do some more stuff, this weekend I think my Girlfriend has big bday plans for me, so could be hard to squeeze more gaming in.

Morovin, have you been able to get the interview with an officer complete?  If not, just let me know and I can do that for you.

Cool, haven't been able to do that so that would be really helpful. Shot the shit with Shawn briefly but that's as close as I've come. 

 

Would tomorrow night work for you?

re: Congrats to Morovin, our newest Peacekeeper!

Morovin,

Your application has now entered the voting stage. You need at least 5 votes for acceptance. Any 'No' votes must be offset by 3 yes votes. The 'I don't know' votes don't count as Yes or No. All voting is anonymous. Feel free to campaign for yourself in game or in TS over the next 3 days.

As a side note, there is a secret way  (or not so secret way) to get one free Yes vote for yourself, IF you study the header of this thread well enough.

Good Luck!

Sorry Morovin, we dropped the ball!  Took us a while, but it's obvious, you are voted in as a new(well, returning) member of Pax Republica!  Congrats!

We aren't late, three days just ended, like now.  Completely my mistake for not changing the date in the title.
