Alright, I got a bit eager and knocked in out now. Let me know if I missed anything, or if you guys want elaboration on anything.
1. Why do you want to join us?
* I've had a high degree of interaction with the Triumvirant in the past, and have developed an extreme respect and trust with many members.
2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
*My current alliance is [unaffiliated]. I cannot find us in the rankings, but I do believe we are the most populated alliance on the server. Unfortunately, the forums activity is woeful... My only prior alliance to [unaffiliated] was DIGG; only slightly less populated but with headaches that just don't stop.
3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies. Alliances you've been in.
*Empire v DIGG, then the (ongoing?) Server War where DIGG faced multiple fronts in E|S, MX, Phoenix, Iliad. Friends are many and widespread; as a DIGG Admin, I came to have high-trust relationships with many players in many alliances. I'd like to think it was a product of my character, and not my position... Unfortunately, my enemies are notorious for merging their islands into my account, and the only one who is still lurking this server is Aspen.
4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?
*If desired, I could provide a list of references to critique me in this regard; both good and bad. Not trying to sidestep the question, but honestly, the "I'm a team-player, I'm loyal, etc etc" is what everyone says, no?
5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
*January 17? 21? End of January, anyhow.
6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, *Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.
Age 26. Male. English. Hobbies include watching baseball, working out, and chasing around a new puppy and kitten.
7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons, which Ocean you are in etc.
*65 highly-consolidated islands ranging from 14:10 down a vertical axis to 14:60 (breadth westward as far as 14:8 and eastward as far as 15:32). A glimpse at the map page centered on 14:20 is a good brief analysis. Fleets are around 4-5k total LWS. Troop counts are roughly 80-90k spears, 40k stoners (may be less right now, I have provided much aid to a green friend in his fight against a German counterpart), 750+ cats, 15 colo's, and archers to fill about 50% capacity of my lws.
8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
*To be honest, there's been so many ups and downs, it's tough to say. RECENTLY, however, I'd say the best was pulling off a pair of 530 lws fleetsteals a few days ago, and the worst was logging in to the DIGG forums this morning after I went unaffiliated to see total chaos and infighting.
9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
*Does anybody ever _openly_ claim to embrace them? I've been active with the AMC for some time now - I'll let the track record speak for itself.
10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
*Pact = "We have no plans to kill you in the near future". PT = "We have no plans to kill you in the immediate future". I'm not joking. Maybe I've grown cynical, but the shifting nature of Pacts/PT is a bit disappointing. They should be done for more than mere short-term political convenience.
11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore KoM, are rather peaceful alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
*Sleeping giant. I'm eager for a nap myself.
12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to KoM.
*I think you guys know about everything there is to know at this point.
13. Are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?
*I've taken spies from naciremaak, ub40, and bigears in the last 25 minutes alone; I'm sure there'll be more by the time I finish this up. I wouldn't quite call them "squabbles", though, since two of them sent me an IGM to apologize before I even noticed - apparently they didn't like what they saw
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)?
*I've sent fleets for Morkin leadership before, and I'd do it again.
15. Does anyone else have access to your account and what is their IK name? If yes what are their IK names and ID's?
*DominicUNT and Gauge/Aesir have had access in the past for sitting purposes, but I have long-since changed the password.
16. Have you had your account name changed in the past. If so, please provide the old names.
Negative. Carl von is my hero.
17. What is you game ID? (ID is in the addressbar when you go to rankings and click on yourself. Like ....p=member&id=1234 where the 1234 would be the ID)
14994.
