1. Why do you want to join us?
To begin, because Coruscation invited me. Also, it seems like I will be quite comfortable there, as the following members are in F&S on .co.uk, which I am admin of:
Coruscation, Tom_the_buffalo_soldier, 2kcastle, mishman
Finally, my RL best friend, werd75na, told me he's attempting to get into FoM, I wouldn't mind being in an alliance with him.
2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
N/A
3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies.
I joined .co.uk about 2 years ago (user ID ~13k), founded the [TKEP] alliance. That alliance made it up to rank 11 in its best time, before members began to split off some, causing [TKEP] to go down to rank 30-40ish. It was around then that I left to join F&S, it seemed like a great opportunity for me to expand, and it was. That was a year ago, now I've grown quite close to those members, and our longtime allies such as KingBreager. F&S is a Death Pact alliance, so we have close ties with Vikings, FireFox, HoD, and of course Wraith. That said, the DP is not necessarily too friendly with some people, but I believe that this is a fresh server with a fresh start, so alliances can be made completely separately from that server.
4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both in good and bad?
I'm not an aggressive player at all. I tend to colonize unowned isles whenever possible, and I don't farm active players ever. I'm online generally throughout the day at least 5 times, though for the next week I'll only be on twice a day, due to work. I pride myself in my diplomacy, I've been able to avoid many a scuff simply by talking it out. As for bad, I'd throw in that I'm not aggressive again. I'm sure I've passed up plenty of good opportunities for expansion, because I didn't want to be unfriendly with other players.
5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
See above.
6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Edjucation, Lifesituation and so on.
I'm 18, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. I graduated high school last spring, and now I attend Davenport University for Network Security. I speak english, and a small amount of spanish. I enjoy computer gaming, though with my RL situation, I don't have a lot of time for them, aside from IK and Travian. I work upwards of 40 hours a week at a local restaurant to pay for my education, so between work and school I have hardly any free time at all. As of next week, though, I'll have a bit more freetime for the rest of the schoolyear.
7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons.
I have 4 isles. My main has a decent sized fleet, though by no means large. Enough to farm, and ship between my isles. There are 684 SF on it. My largest colony only recently got a barracks, and is now producing stonies 24/7, I will switch to SF as soon as possible. The other 2 isles are covered with stonies, and are still in the resource-building stage.
8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
My best moment was probably being accepted into F&S even though I only had 1 isle. I finally had the opportunity to no longer be constricted by [TKEP]. As for worst moment, that would probably be on this server, when my alliance, Phoenix, declared war against Elite. This in itself was perhaps good or perhaps bad. The issue was that one of the admins posted the targets on the forum, and within 10 minutes, another admin posted saying not to attack, and instead to attack -S-. The entire alliance went into confusion and left us open to attacks from either side. This disorganization caused me to leave the alliance within a few hours.
9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
There's no place for them in a game like this. Everyone should have a level playing field, it's no fun to win by cheating.
10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
I don't really understand what this question is asking. If it is asking what I think the terms mean, pact is an ally to engage in conflicts with and have each others' support, a peace treaty is simply that, an agreement not to attack one another.
11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore FoM, are rather peacefull alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
See question 4, seems like a good place to me
12. Finally (thank god I hear you cry) please note anything which you feel might support your application to FoM.
Uhh...I like pie, and I drive a '96 Dodge Intrepid that I bought for $300.
