1. Why do you want to join us?
I am looking for a smaller alliance where I can be active. I feel that my current home, Pantheon, is too large. I like what Morkin and it's allies stand for.
2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
As previously stated Pantheon is too big for me. I feel that there are still factions in the alliance, and it does not yet operate as a cohesive unit. I also don't like that many of the players in Pantheon are very new. Although I have nothing against helping new players, I would like to be part of an alliance where my peers have a decent amount of experience in the game.
3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies. Alliances you've been in.
I began the game in October when it hit Digg the first time. In November I joined Angel and was loyal to her until the recent Pantheon merge. I have been active in the great war against E|S. I have also joined in random raids on multis. I have often helped allied players in my area (not necesarily in my alliance) with stonies and resources.
4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?
I try to be diplomatic whenever possible. I am generous in helping out other players in the area. While in Angel I recruited 8 players to join Angel and help them build their forces. I also was an ocean admiral and helped conduct raids on E|S during the war.
5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
I have been playing since October.
6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.
27, Male, English. I like music, I play bass guitar. I have a college degree in psychology and am currently working as a school counselor.
7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons, which Ocean you are in etc.
20 isles, all the at least 1000 spears, most with many more than that. All these islands will soon have 1000 points. If I have one flaw in playing it is that I put defense as my top priority. On many islands I have lots of troops, but often don't always have the fleets to utilize them offensively. I have been remedying this in recent months, and have significant fleet sizes on most of my oldest islands.
8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
Best was taking 2 islands off of E|S in the recent war. Worst was a recent colo dispute where I took an island from an inactive player before the island had gone rulerless. I fully understand that what I did was risky. But I was pretty perturbed at how my alliance handled it. I would have appreciated if the message I recieved from my admins was "I understand you're point, but you still need to give the island back." Instead I got "You're being ridiculous, give the island back NOW!" At any rate the issue was resolved quickly, and it will in no way come back to haunt me if I switch alliances. If you want I can give further details.
9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
Cheaters, and cheaters.
10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
Pacts mean that if a pacted alliance asks for help you jump to help them. Also, you expect the same from them in return.
Peace treaties have traditionally meant that you won't attack members of that alliance, but you won't help them either. I don't like this. I think peace is the default stance towards any alliance regardless of size. I don't think one should attack a member of any alliance without provocation. I believe that a peace treaty should mean that you're at war with an alliance, but not hostile at the moment. Peace treaties should be used for enemies, not friends. An alliance should be at peace with any alliance that we're not at war with.
11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore KoM, are rather peaceful alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
yes
12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to KoM.
I think my score speaks for itself. Also, my history in Angel/Pantheon should attest to what type of player I am.
13. Are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?
Since the E|S war I have not been at war with anyone. My only squabble was colonizing the inactive player before the island went rulerless, and like I mentioned that was resolved a month ago.
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)?
One of the reasons I considered KOM is because Cait_Sith has islands in my area. I helped him out when he first colonized them. At the time he was with [MX] who had not relationship to Angel. I helped him because I wanted to, and he seemed like a decent player. Like I have said before, I support alliance mates. I support those I'm not allied with. In fact, if you ask for help and I have no reason not to help you, I will. Now, if you ask for help and your profile page shows that you support an enemy alliance, I will respectfully decline helping you.
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?
Just me.
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)
