1. Why do you want to join us?
Sol, in Luxor, is my mentor and told me I should join. I also think it would be a fun alliance to join.

2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
I getting tired of FOIMP and all the baggage that comes with them.

3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies. Alliances you've been in.
I started in March. When I started, I created an alliance, got it into the top 100 at one time. Unfortunately, GOR, began to use us a farm, so I disbanded our alliance. Since then, I joined unknown, but then was kicked because GOR decided to attack me again. I then was invited to join Republic, which eventually merged into SANCT. GOR sent spies into our alliance, including some multis? FOIMP took GOR out, and the members dispersed.

4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?
I always try to be patient and peaceful with others. I enjoy the game, and I try to approach situations in a calm benevolent manner.

5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
I have been admin of a small alliance, and am currently head diplomat of the alliance I’m in, and I used to be an admiral for sanct.
I also play on world 2 and on the .de server.

6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.
17/male/English/computers, robotics, sports, senior in high school

see attached sheet

8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
Best: joining the game
Worst: hasn’t happened yet.

9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
They are against the rules, and should be dealt with.

10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
Peace treaties mean that we do not attack them nor colo their islands
Pacts usually mean we help each other in wars.

11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore KoM, are rather peaceful alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
Yes, I rather like peace 

12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to KoM.
I am an Eagle Scout.

13. Are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?
No/none

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)?

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?
Nope

16. Have you had your account name changed in the past. If so, please provide the old names.
No

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)
26718

P.S. I am becoming a temporary Admin for SANCT while our admin left us for war. I will stay as admin until he returns. I feel it is my duty to not leave in the middle of this situation.

[Clausewitz]

His military isn't shabby for his size.

I'd go with a soft yes, the only issue being his past alliance (i.e., loyalty concerns).

[Cesium]

Personally I don't think his army is that impressive, but his application is solid overall. I'm not sure about the FOIMP connection, but I give him a yes.

[Sol]

Just a point of clarification. After reading The Big Brother Program in the forums I decided to take a smaller player and help him out. Fluffy messaged me and he gladly became my student...lol

He has mentioned to me that he has been asked to become temporary admin of SANCT but wasn't too happy about the issue seeing as he seems a bit annoyed with all the bullshit going on at the moment.

While its natural to have concerns about him being a possible spy, I think perhaps we should try him out. You never know, he might be a great asset to KoM. But again, only time will tell. Actually, all of KoM needs to be tested...some of the KoM members aren't so active in the forums...so we'll see who is who once war comes about.

Not sure where to post this, but fluffy sent me the following:

To be fair, we don't talk about the juicy stuff in the KoM section of the forum. You're right though. I think war will show our inactives better than anything else.

[kae]

Yes, I think he looks like a solid candidate. And strengthened further by Sol's vouch.

[Sol]

Alright, so because I am paranoid and I love this alliance too much for it to go to waste. I decided to make sure that fluffy wasn't a spy, and it happens that I just had an interesting conversation with him that makes his application questionable:

Read from bottom up:

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: stone
no, ill switch, im just waiting till i get messaged.

hmmm? I thought you were staying in SANCT?

I dont know when they want you yet, they haven't responded.

fluffy wrote:

so when do they want me?

Sol wrote:

Bah! lol

Alright, I'll inform Morkin.

fluffy wrote:
----------

well ill stick with my friends in sanct then

Sol wrote:

Ah, rhino?

Right, I believe Cesium and Rhino are on friendly terms.

Like I said, you're allowed to have your friends and such. But, just because Cesium is friends with Rhino doesn't mean we (as a whole alliance) support Rhino.

So...eh? loyalty issue here or indecisive mind.

He seemed to have the impression that just because he was joining KoM, we'd have some sort of pact with SANCT.

[Cait_Sith]

I'd just like to point out that although he's made an effort in the application, it doesn't look like he keeps up with punctuation and the like for anything that isn't "official".

And I'm not too sure about this one, I'll go with the majority here. From my experience, people that try to work their way up the ladder tend to be more immature and very enthusiastic to attack other players, but meh. I have to admit I've come across a couple of decent ones in my time on IK.

[Cesium]

I vote no, just based on the exchange with Sol. "ill"? Is he sick? What?

[Sol]

Fluffy wants an answer soon...best give him one seeing as he applied a while ago.

[digital]

I'll message him and tell him that we are still discussing it. I'd like a few more people's decision before I finalise.

[kae]

I'm not so sold on his waivering attitude. If he's in it to stay, then my answer is yes. If this 'I'm not sure, are you letting me, but I don't know' thing keeps going on, then no.

He's a good candidate for KoM, but the attitude is just as important.

[Sol]

I think the indecisiveness has to do with the fact that we're taking too long to process his application. He has mentioned that he wants a change alliances because his alliance is possibly going to another direction.

In fact, I just got a message from him saying that he and the rest of his alliance SANCT, has been told to move to Pantheon...so he is waiting for our reply since he is reluctant to join pantheon but will join them if we take too long.

Although there are some gray areas...the thing I like about Fluffy is that he is extremely active. I think I'm sure that if he were given a chance, he'd be very active in these forums as well.

I've yet to hear from other KoM members...they should probably start voting for their own members too! But yeah, at least I know fluffy, and he still remains my student.

So, I say a yes...lets test him out.
