Joining procedure

Application Process

Step 1.1
Player either sends an ingame mail to an admin or applies directly to the alliance using the ingame alliance system.

Step 1.2
Player will be sent the most recent questionnaire by an admin. It is at this time that a thread is made in the appropriate alliances Membership Applications board; the thread should be titled "[Pending] Player". At this stage the content of it can be merely what was recieved in Step 1.

Step 1.3
Player will reply with the questionnaire filled in to an admin, preferably the one that sent the questionnaire. This will then be posted in the Players Membership Application Thread.

Step 1.4
Over a 72-96 hour period current Morkin members will vote on the application.

Step 1.5
Once a sufficient time has passed judgement will be passed; an admin will post the initial decision made and post a time at which they will mail Player with this decision. This gives time for people to cast last minute votes.

Step 1.6a
If the application is successful then they are invited to either apply formally (if ingame mail was sent) and accepted as soon as possible or are just accepted (if ingame alliance system was used).

Step 1.6b
If the application is unsuccessful then Player is notified and the application formally Rejected ingame. It should be noted that the Player can feel free to reapply in the future.

Step 1.7
Player is asked to proceed with the External Forum Registration and Validation; this process is also mandatory. This could be done along with a "Welcome Player" thread posted on the ingame forum although this is done at the discretion of the admin handling the application.


External Forum Registration and Validation

Step 2.1
Player Registers an account on the external forums. Links are provided at the end of this guide.

Step 2.2
Player should then read and complete the steps in the "New members: Read Me First" thread on the "Inselkampf Public Issues" board; the thread is stickied and should appear near the top.

Step 2.3
Under the assumption that everything has gone correctly Player should now be able to see several more boards related to their new alliance. Player should create a thread in the Rulers forum named after their account. Within this thread should be a small amount of information about Player and agreement to follow Morkins Etiquette. This step is mandatory, failure to create the thread can lead to premature ejection from the alliance.


Notes;

o Player refers to the applicant.
o Admin typically refers to the admin of the alliance to which the application was sent (only KoM is accepting external applications at the moment).
o Morkin refers to the entire Morkin name group, currently; [Morkin], [Corleth], [Luxor] and [KoM].
o The use of [Morkin], [Corleth], [Luxor] and [KoM] refers directly to the respective alliance (so note the diffence between Morkin and [Morkin]).

1: As soon as an admin notices an application, send the questionnaire
2: Create a thread with [ Pending ] Name, saying "questionnaire sent"
3: Update thread with questionnaire results
4: Wait 48 hours for enough Alliance responses
5: Accept or Reject.

I was also working on this, my idea has an extra stage in it:

1. All applicants are sent the questionnaire.
2. Once returned, this is placed on the forums for discussion, once a decision is reached the player is informed.
3. If accepted, the player now has to agree to the Morkin rules, that will be listed in the Public section of the forums, they must reply saying that the accept the rules and a copy of this message is posted on the forums in their thread.
4. Finally, once they have officially been admitted into the alliance the new member is given a welcome message with a link to register on the external forum and request to post a thread about themselves.

I agree.

We could tie that in with a mandatory Isles & Rulers thread about themselves.

Everybody exalt eproxy

I've updated this to show the bit about creating a Rulers thread about themselves "and agreement to follow Morkins Etiquette". The threads containing that information is probably these two right?

Feel free to edit the initial post.

I think rather than a thread a poll should be made so we can have a vote count. I also think that all members of KOM should vote as a minimum, obviously anyone is free to vote.
