re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Fluency!

The application submitted by Fluency is as follows:

Quote:
Please look over this <a>thread</a> before starting your application.

Personal Questions

The following questions are aimed at helping us get to know you better as a person. Please be as detailed as possible, this means that we expect as much information as you can possibly provide us with.

How old are you?:
22

What gender are you?:
Male

What country do you live in?:
United Kingdom (England)

What time zone are you in?:
GMT

Which of the following below would best describe your current occupation?:
University

Do you have the ability to pay online fees?:
Yes

What motivates you to contribute and to strive for achievement?:
I want whatever guild/clan I am a part of to do well, and hopefully become one of, if not the most successful on our respective server. Within the guild, I am extremely helpful and can be approached by anyone if they need anything or they want me to do something with/for them. I am socially active and always looking to contribute, as well as advance myself within the group.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?:
Strengths
---------
- Experienced MMORPG player (Have been playing online games for over 10 years).
- Team-player, always sharing within games to help the clan/guild advance quickly.
- Easily understandable on VoIP.
- Follow orders given efficiently and quickly, which is necessary in a hectic PvP environment.
- Able to invest a lot of time into playing and therefore levelling quickly.
- Quick learner once I get started in a new game.
- Experienced PvPer as well as being a capable PvE'er/Raider.

Weaknesses
----------
- Prefer to limit myself to 1-2 characters, so I won't be experienced in all classes.
- Rarely do I craft in MMORPGs. I may advance this at a later stage, but my focus lies on PvP and levelling for the most-part.
- I only speak English, which could be a problem for an International guild such as this.

What interests and activities do you enjoy spending your time on?:
I cycle regularly, and occasionally play football (soccer, to the majority of you I suppose), though most of my time outside of my studies is devoted to gaming.

I have been enjoying League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth lately, two DotA'esque games which have been taking up the majority of my free time while I wait for SW:ToR.

Pax Republica Questions

These questions are aimed at helping us figure out if you're Pax Republica material, so be as detailed as possible.

How did you hear about Pax Republica?:
Star Wars: The Old Republic forum

Do you have a tendency to cuss a lot? :
No. Occasionally I'll swear if I am ganked, but I tend to apologise after if I feel the audience disapproves.

How do you deal with stress and new players?:
I deal with stress by punching my sandbag into the wall for a while. New players aren't necessarily stressful though, and I am always approachable/helpful towards them.

What are your expectations of the members and leadership of Pax Republica?:
Socially active, helpful and understandable. Those are the three things I expect of myself, and therefore everyone else within the group I am part of. Hopefully if we all get along, we'll advance together, and very quickly.

What do you believe you can contribute to Pax Republica's community?:
As mentioned above, I think I can slot in nicely and adapt to your current members. Judging by the forum posts I have read, you seem quite mature and fun to talk to/be around, and I can hopefully contribute to this existing atmosphere myself.

Read my 'Strengths' listed for more detail about how I hope to contribute efficiently.

What was it about Pax Republica that encouraged you to sign up with us, rather than with another guild?:
#1. Activity
#2. Voice communication
#3. PVP Focused

A non-guild member approaches you in game and begins talking smack to you. How do you react?::
Ignore list.

You're in Ventrilo playing with other members but one member is being annoying, making silly noises and being obnoxious...what do you do? :
Ask them politely to stop. If they comply, the matter is concluded. If they continue aggravating the other members and myself, I'll forward the issue to one of the officers/arbiters.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Questions

What is your SWTOR forum name?:
For_The_Republic

Have you previously been in another SWTOR guild? If so please include the Guild's name and your experience there.:
No, I have not.

Have you ever been kicked from a guild for poor conduct, unruly behavior, or inactivity?:
No

Which of the following interests you most?:
Socializing

Which of the following interests you second most?:
PVP

Which of the following interests you third most?:
Story

In relation to the guild.:
We work together

The following questions are to provide you with a quick insight regarding the trial requirements.

Which class do you intend to play?:
Jedi Consular

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?:
Yes

Do you acknowledge that you must complete all the trial requirements given to you by the trial director to become a full member?:
Yes

In the future, what position would you like to hold?:
Regular Member

Is there anything else you would like to include as to why we should accept you as an applicant to Pax Republica?:
I'm not sure if this will be a factor in your judgement, but although I live in England and am generally placed in the EU timezone for playing... I often find myself playing in the early hours/morning of the GMT timezone, which coincides with the popular evening period of North America.

And lastly, are there any questions about the guild you would like answered?:
1. Even if I'm declined as a member, can I possibly still visit your Ventrilo server and socialise with you guys? I don't know anyone who intends to play this game just yet, so I'd like to meet and talk with some people who are also interested in it.



Congratulations! You've completed our application. While it may have been lengthy it is in the interest of ensuring only those truly dedicated bother applying. All applications are reviewed as soon as possible.

Yes you may but I believe your application is very strong.

I feel you covered most things in your app so I don't have much to ask but I have to ask something lol.

Which specialization or role do you plan on going and why?

Jedi Shadow seems most likely, as it fits my playstyle more than the caster alternative (Sage). That, and having seen the Taral V developer walkthrough, Sage seemed a bit too slow-paced for my liking. I feel a more lightsabre-based class would be more suitable.

If you have any other questions, please ask. Happy

Thank you, I appreciate the support. Happy

I have since noticed though, that recruitment for the Jedi Consular contingent is currently 'Closed'. I was not aware of this when I wrote my application, as the forum post specified that only Knights and Troopers were full.

If there isn't room at the moment, could my application be put on hold for future openings?

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Fluency!

As of last night when we discussed current numbers and recruiting status, you had received enough support that you were included in the calculation to determine the JC is closed Happy.

With the posts made here and the discussion in your favor as of last night, I'm proud to formally accept your application! One of our lovely Trial Directors will be by shortly to get you started on the path to becoming a full member of Pax Republica.

Welcome aboard, we look forward to getting to know you better!

Very good application matey! Just like the guys from above mentioned, I am delighted to hear that you want to join Ventrilo with us even if you are not accepted eventually!
Anyway I suppose that your app is too strong and you are too willing to join Pax, to be rejected. Definitely a yes from me!
I m looking forward to meeting you!

EDIT: I just saw Travis' post! So, officially
Welcome to PAX Republica

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Fluency!

Thank you very much guys. Appreciate the support and am pleased to know my application was good enough. big grin

I'll be on your Ventrilo server tonight. I also noticed you've got a League of Legends channel - I've been playing that game a lot lately, having started quite recently. So if anyone is playing that later, would be nice to join you if you'll accept a lowly level 15-16 into your team. tongue out

Once again, many thanks. Happy
