Farming myself out...
Sent to:
skulkrinbait; 2kcastle; Coruscation

Ahoy, Friends of Morkin.

The recent war declared by RAID/V|W against my Alliance (SKULL) has forced me to look at making a move.

I have but one island, but I've focused on beefing up my arsenal rather than expanding to this point:

96 LWS
96 SMS

Main/Gold/Stone/Lumber/Harbour/Storehouse/Wall/Tower - All at 20.

800 Spearies (tech maxed) and 2 catapults.

Any interest in having another amongst yer ranks?

I have precious few hours to make my decision, so a prompt reply would be warmly welcomed.

PlayaDoc, Admiral, SKULL Alliance

The answer to whether we let him in or not depends on how much you want to fight a war I suppose.

Q sent.

[coruscation]

Sorry to be harsh.

But he's nothing special and frankly I don't think he's worth it. We have too many members anyway, I think we should be more selective.

We'll see what the questionairre brings us.

[AeroS]

He is only looking for protection. He formed an alliance that is just himself.... alliance profile:

MMF... FFM... MMM... FFF... whatever floats your boat (so to speak) - you're welcome here!

Let's at least go out with a (gang) bang!

------ Recruiting Requirements:

It aint a threesome without three people, honey... you've gotta be Game to join this crew.

Free lube to the first 100 members!


I say no. he sounds like an Scemo!.

[camydoc]

no... werid

[Cesium]

I votes no...

[Sol]

Hmmm...No.

_____________________________
1. Why do you want to join us?

Friends of Morkin are fair-minded and educated. You make peace and keep a low profile, letting your actions speak louder than your words - and KEEPING your word.

2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?

SKULL became an unruly bunch. It was no longer possible for the Alliance to work as a unit - friends beget friends and soon there are people that just don't really care messing it up for the rest of us.

3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies.

I have mostly been in a support/defensive position, sending stonies and supplies to lower-level Alliance-mates who have been attacked. I helped make peace this last week in the impending RAID/SKULL war.

No current enemies...

4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?

I am on from work pretty much every day, as well as at home. Active but patient and cautious. Good fences make good neighbors. =)

5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?

This is my first time... and mostly the thing that gets me is the 'unwritten rules' being pushed on us from IKUK players.

(Continued...)

6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.

35, Male, English (speak conversational Spanish), Ultimate Frisbee/Snowboarding/Burning Man, College Graduate (B.S. from UC Santa Cruz), Married and happily living in Seattle, WA.

7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons, which Ocean you are in etc.

4:57:14 - 96 LWS/SMS, 160 Stonies (would be more but I kept sending them to others to help!), 850 Spearies, 2 Cats, Main/Gold/Stone/Lumber/Harbour/Storehouse/Wall/Tower - All at 20.

8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?

Best moments would have to be the internal banter and camaraderie within the Alliance Forum. Worst would be coming back from a business trip last week and finding out RAID has declared war on us!

9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?

Completely unacceptable and suspicious behavior should be reported on the IK forums.

10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?

Treaty - We won't attack one another.
Pact - Offensive and Defensive. The former being that we will help you go to war, the latter being that we will help is someone else is the aggressor against you.

(Continued again... dang word limit!)

11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore FoM, are rather peacefull alliances not actively seeking domination or war.

Absolutely. I have seen your Pact-mates and have HIGH respect for many of them, particularly Angel, Morkin (of course), V|W and Valheru.

12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to FoM.

As perhaps you could tell by now, I am eloquent, educated and motivated.

13. Finally (thank god I hear you cry), are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?

Currently in no wars and no enemies. No real combat - mostly just on the supply side of helping Alliance-mates rebuild and defend.
___________________________

Please note - I have copied BlackGraceKidd on all of this application. She is the only member of SKULL I would humbly request you consider inviting in to FoM as well. Please let her know if she is welcome to apply and we'll see where this goes - thanks!

PlayaDoc, currently non allied.

[Arminius]

mmmh, he seems to be quite sensible and mature from those responses...

[2kcastle]

He communicates well, its just his leaving skull when they are in trouble that counts against him.

[Sol]

I still say no. Although he seems alright, I think we should stop accepting applications at the moment. If we carry this on, how big is the alliance going to get? Low 30s is good...and well, this guy doesn't seem like he can even protect himself. The question we have to ask is: how will he contribute to the alliance? I don't mean to be harsh...but the alliance is getting fairly big.

I have an attack fleet heading for him right now with this quote emblazened across every bow.
I still say no.

I agree, one of our main strengths lies in keeping the alliance as tight as possible, and I think thirty or so members is a reasonable limit. We should still consider excellent candidates whom we're all happy with, but this guy doesn't fall into that category.

Most interesting. From a "complex social dynamics" point of view.

[SkulkrinBait]

I rejected him due to lack of interest and a few nos.

[Natmus]

Also, I hear that he is doing very well in Angel.
