[Pending] Redskull

[2kcastle]

As i said somewhere else earlier Redskull has asked to join us, he applied right at the start of the war with mx but i had to put him off as we had closed applications due to the fighting and now he's applying again.
He is only applying to join Luxor and doesn't want to join KoM !
I speak to him on quite a regular basis and have always found him to be friendly and well spoken with no evidence of any negative traits that i know some other members of H|F to posess and i think he'd be a good addition to our ranks.

[2kcastle]

1. Why do you want to join us?
I have watched the way that Morkin grow and would love to learn as It would make me a better IK player all around.

2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
I'ts not that I want to leave as I have no problem With my current alliance but I feel like a change I've been in this alliance for several months and have shown great Loyalty to the alliance but as every IK player knowns everyone needs a change from Time to time.

3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies.
On Ik.co.uk I was known as Sk8cdude I was destroyed for spamming Orange by Kash and Raul the originals. I then bought the acount Wumpus which was rank 172 I then made that account a top 80 account increasing the army in that time by 7k Caterpults, 55k Archers, 210k Stonies 324k Spearfighters, 35k LWS on 65 isles mostly ocean 14. I then joined the alliances NeXuS which I fought a couple of wars in but no major wars and then I joined Virus which was rank one and still are rank 1 we destroyed the allaicne that the platyer Eternitycode was administrating I was attacked several times but never lost hardly anything and destroyed in that war nearly 100k Spears 8k Archers several 100 cats and over 3k LWS. I stayed in that alliance until I decided to sell and then I joine this world that day it started.

4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?
I would describe myself as a Loyal, diplomatic, very freindly but can be very persuasive.

5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
I started playing IK.co.uk when the rank one player aka Freedom had 20 isles, so a very long time.

6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.
I would describe myself as easygoing, a hard wroker, and do take life very seriously. I'm 17 am a qualified Painter and decorator, my hobbies are football watching DVD's, Im English, My current lifesituation is very active on the IK world as I dont currenytly have a job, but am looking.

7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons, which Ocean you are in etc.
I have currently got 39 isles, I have about 8.5k LWS across the top 20 or so as the rest just build spears, Im in ocean 1,2,11,14,16,7,15,21,31

8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
Best moments would be making freinds like EDC, 2kcastle, Orion, Boucindave, DBK just general making frinds. worst moments would be getting destroyed on .co.uk as Sk8cdude, as it was my first account.

9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
I dont like Multi'ing but some peple clasify as getting given an account and emrging your's with the given account as Multi'ing where as I dont see that as being a multi, just getting lucky.
scripters in a way they open up other oceans very fast therefore people get more isles and bigger faster but otherwise scripting is wrong and all scripters should be destroyed.

10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
Peace Treaty's I believe to be if you was asked to help in a war then you should not have to if you dont want to. but as for a pact I believe that you should commit your full army to the pacted alliance, unless they started the war so its there fault.

11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore FoM, are rather peacefull alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
Yes I'm very aware that you are Peacefull guys, I understand that you only fight when you have to.

12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to FoM.
I'm willing to risk everything for them


13. Are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?
I am not currently in any wars or personal wars or anything like that.
On this server I've had a shot at DIGG.

14. What is your attitude to helping your alliance as well as pacted alliances during a war? Are you aware that if you join Morkin you would be expected to fight for the good of the alliance if war came and that these wars may require a significant contribution over a period of time (within reason)?
Yes I'm aware that joining any alliance I should always help them out in war. (even if I dont have internet access, I would try my best to help in the war I would not chicken out).

15. Does anyone else have access to your account and what is their IK name?
No no one has acess to my account. It's just me running it.

Sounds really nice, and 2kcastle is his friend.

But if we let him skip KoM, then what about others?

[Arminius]

Two things: we should ask what alliance(s) they were in before, and should change if from FoM to KoM. (That applies to othe questionnaire)

For a loyal player he's changed alliances quite a bit on UK.


What is the general feeling about people joining Luxor instead of KoM?

[2kcastle]

Its a bit hypocritical as i'm supporting his application here but i think that almost everyone should have to join KoM before they have a chance of joining luxor, mainly just to keep the numbers down in luxor.
I'm supporting this application to us because at the moment i dont think KoM can offer enough to a player who is leaving a strong alliance like H|F.

I don't like it. Most of Luxor has proven themselves, and also found to be very trustworthy.

Injecting untested newbies in it... not good The Luxor forum now has huge amount of stuff, and we will get infiltration tries thats for sure.

[SkulkrinBait]

<paranoia>According to his profile he's selling the account, I'm suspicious. Is this the real Redskull or the person who bought the account using it to spy?</paranoia>

[Gornall]

Think I might have to say no.

KoM is there for a reason. Even if its just a little while I still think he should go there first. Sets an example as to no matter who you are or where u come from you have to start in KoM.

That's it. He's not Luxor quality if he has been selling/sold his account.

I have to vote no.

[Ruku]

i agree with the above 2 comments. I believe KoM is the best place to start and as Gornall said even if it is just for a short amount of time, just to show his commitment.

[GraySea]

Have no strong feelings either way but as we are a democratic bunch I need to have my say and I will go along with the majority and older and wiser heads in the game than mine.

H|F = no honour and all force! Naah! go through KoM first.

[AeroS]

I would say that we can allow people to join Luxor on a case by case basis. I would like to see the vast majority go to KoM but I don't see any reason to tie our own hands when we find a real gem. Besides, I expect KoM to become another FoM anyways and have as much recruiting power as FoM had.
I like this Redskull guy and would have accepted him to Luxor if there wasn't a KoM. I am not sure if I would do that now that there is a KoM.
I say yes but only because we have not organised KoM yet.

[eproxy]

If he's only applying to Luxor and not KoM he's obviously not willing to build up trust. Whats so bad about KoM anyway, not big enough for him? Not enough protection? I say no, KoM will be the FoM of old; people (ie. new applicants) better get used to that.

[SkulkrinBait]

Did he say he doesn't want to join KoM? I'm happy for him to join them otherwise no, same reason eproxy stated.

[digital]

I'm going with No, while he had a strong application KoM is there for a reason and now that Luxor is closed everyone should go through KoM.

My reasoning for this is that regardless of personal experience with said player he/she still has to prove themselves to the rest of us now that KoM is here.
