Can someone make this a poll?
1. Why do you want to join us?
I am hoping to be accepted directly into [Luxor] for several reasons, primarily as it has a concentration of friends,
mcgoous, sol & clausewitz. As for why I want to join the Morkin group, is because I feel Morkin is an alliance that
is very aware of situations that affect the sustainability of Inselkampf, and tries to remedy, or not to contribute to those
factors. Another reason is that I speak to a fair few Morkin players, and feel very comfortable speaking to them, in that they
do not attempt to intimidate me. I enjoy the unity and efficiency of the group in military operations, and the spin-doctoring
and use of diplomacy. I feel the group is an enviroment in which I will fit in well, and will have complete faith in my team.
2. If applicable why do you want to leave your current alliance?
I have decided to leave E||M, as my relationship with my partner has become strained as a result. E||M is something very close
to me, I have been in :VI: (which became E||M) for over 10months now. It is all I have known, and all my efforts have been tied
into aiding E||M to success. It however forces me into a situation, where I feel I must devote so many hours, into improving,
training and making it's members enjoy IK to the max. I am hoping that by joining Morkin, an alliance where I won't need to be
so involved in policies, diplomacy and politics. I will be able to play IK enough to still be competitive, while being able to
spend the time with my Girlfriend that she deserves.
3. What is your IK history; List of Wars, Friends and Enemies. Alliances you've been in.
I originally joined [WAR], but that disbanded shortly after my joining (within weeks) - exula, mcgoogus and myself then created
:VI: and i have been here ever since, there was a short spell of a week or two, when I created E||E with a few other :VI: players,
we had a short skirmish with FOIMP (In which we came out with biggest gain of isles)
Shortly after, I did sell my account (now Forerunner) to an E||M player, as IK was taking up too much time, and hampering my
relationship. I had been given the chuggy account as the owner left at the end of the E||E 'experiment'. I continued to 'afk'
play that account, but the addiction wanted me back on IK, so I bought this account. It was fairly cheap (half of what I got for
forerunner). I am currently finishing off merging chuggy into this account. I know alot of Morkin players frown upon purchased
accounts, I do to some extent. I feel that purchasing accounts is ok, as long as it is not to better an exsisting account, i.e
through merging.
The only real 'Enemy' I have had is FOIMP & Aspen in particular. FOIMP have a long history with :VI: - otherwise, all other enemies
to E||M have been executed (With present situation excluded)
As for friends, I have links into most alliances, friends all over the place, this gives me the ability to get insights to most
situations.
4. How would you describe yourself as a player, What are your traits, both good and bad?
My main trait, would be my Loyalty. Funny I know, considering I am aiming to leave an alliance. I have a simple hierarchy when it comes
to loyalty. Top is my alliance, second is pacted alliances, then friends, then aquintances. For example, some of you may know, that myselfand mcgoogus have become pretty close on this game, however, if Morkin attacked E||M, i would not refrain from attacking mcgoogus if that was required. My Alliance is my #1 priority, this is afterall a game, and i feel that if mcgoogus and I have become friends, then we will still be friends after playing a game on opposing sides.
One bad trait is that I am a perfectionist, always seeking to improve things. I feel Morkin will be able to counter this alliance, and is
why Luxor is the only alliance I WANT to join. As I think I would be contempt with the Morkin Group, and it will surpress this trait.
Although I am not nessicarily an aggressive or opportunist anymore, I have no fear in engaging in war, if it was required, this is primarily
a war game, and when diplomacy fails, war should take place.
I have also been known to be very loud on the forums, This WILL be curbed for Morkin, as I know you guys & gals prefere a more professional approach.
5. How much experience do you have of playing Inselkampf?
I have played inselkampf for a long time, i started in May '05 on www.inselkampf.co.uk - as b0rn2ki112k (and later b2k) I was brought up in the .:VI:. channel, with Windmill as a friend and mentor. When he decided IK was too much for him, I then started to play Inselkampf for myself, I have been a part of most of the major alliances (Wolfpack + Variants, Empire, SW|Elite & Wraith would be where i spent most of my time. I did have a reputation for Alliance hopping (as I am a perfectionist) that trait seams to have mostly disapeared, during the gap between .co.uk and .com. I deliberately started Inselkampf later, as I knew I would not be able to commit to the game as much as was needed to get ahead. By waiting, I spawned in a newer ocean, after the signups had lightened.
6. How would you briefly describe yourself as a person: Age, Gender, Native Language, Hobbies, Education, Lifesituation and so on.
I am a male 18 year old. I was born in Germany, but moved to England (And am English) shortly after birth. My father is in the RAF, so I moved around alot, but since my parents divorced several years ago, I have come to call Carterton in Oxfordshire my home. I currently study at College (Business Studies, Economics & Sociology). I live with my mother, and my 16 year old girlfriend of over 1 year (who moved down from scotland, 2-3 Months ago)
I currently ride a motorbike (Suzuki GN125) as is a pride, even though she is a piece of sh*t I enjoy watching many sports, films and read some Fantasy/sci-fi fiction - my name actually is based on a race from the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind.
7. Describe your current technical situation in the game. Isles, Fleets, Garrisons, which Ocean you are in etc.
I am primarily in a cluster on the edge of ocean 6/16. As I currently merging chuggy account into mine, I will have a smaller sector in 6:36. I have dedicated some islands to the production of catapults, as I use my fleets fairly often in E||M, as their seams to always be someone who attacks us, and I tend to be the first to get involved. By producing catapults, it allows me to become combat effective more quickly. I will not lie to you, by accepting me, you are accepting a mediocre account at best. However, I will most likely be co-playing this account with "Skept", he is my best friend in real-life, and a .co.uk veteren (Alias: ncrn) Combined, we will have a strong amount of isles, which will allow us to rebuild losses sustained quickly.
The only other thing of importance, is my use of Stonies. I am fairly fond of the little guys, I have a minimum of 1,000 on each isle (and about 30K Total currently) I feel that by having stonies, I am able to drop them on isles when needed to sink big fleets, that would be hard to stop otherwise. Also, it allows me to aid my comrades, I strongly feel that losses on an account, should be spread amongst the alliance.
8. What were your best and worst moments in the world of Inselkampf?
The best moments tend to be when I have successfully completed an op with other players. The Worst moments tend to be when I feel E||M is about to collapse, because I cannot commit enough time.
9. What is you opinion of multis and scripters?
I feel that scripts should not be used at all. I personally don't even use a colo-tool.
As for Multi's it depends on how you define it, I am technically a multi, as I am merging an account given to me, into my current
account. I think that is perfectly acceptable. To use multi's to fund catapults etc into your isles, or use multiple accounts for
combat purposes I disagree with. I however accept, these are my oppinions, and tend not to police people.
10. Regarding pacts and peace treaties, what do you understand by those terms?
Peace Treaty - An alliance that you avoid conflict with.
Pact - An alliance that has your complete backing when your admins feel it is warranted.
11. Are you aware that Morkin, and therefore KoM, are rather peaceful alliances not actively seeking domination or war.
Indeed I am, that is why it appeals to me so much, as it does not require me to sit at my computer 24hours aday to stay alive.
12. Please note anything which you feel might support your application to KoM.
I am applying primarily to join [Luxor] as I already have bonds with that faction of Morkin. However, I would consider joining
KoM as Luxor is the only specific alliance I wish to become a part of.
By accepting me, you would also need to accept that I may soon be co-playing this account with .co.uk veteren ncrn, although we
work well together, and he tends to let me take the more dominant control of the account.
13. Are you currently in any wars/squabbles with other players? What combat have you been involved in on this server?
E||M is currently in conflict with leoonadmirals and Arch_Angel - If you wish, I am happy to wait here till that has been solved.
I however do not plan to participate in this, as I am planning to leave E||M. The alliance is more than capable of defending itself
without me, and it is unfair that I gain isles from a foe of E||M, when I will not be an E||M player.
My Combat experienced primarily comes from Operations against FOIMP, and minor ops against individual players earlier on in the game.
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)?
It is a game, Like i've said before, my alliance comes before my friends, even if that includes aiding pacts. The Morkin groups appeals to me so much, because I think it is an alliance that won't be putting me into situations of war each day, and therefore will only require supernormal levels of activity for periods of time, rather than continously.
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?
Currently no-one, but mcgoogus tends to be my babysitter if I need it, ncrn would most likely babysit now if needed.
16. Have you had your account name changed in the past. If so, please provide the old names.
This account was previously John108 (or Similar) of [Salish] I then purchased it, and renamed it Dhaaran. (Forerunner was previously
my account, and was also named Dhaaran)
17. What is your 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)12183 for this account.
Forerunner is 11986. & Chuggy is 11999. Incase of Confusion, I just want to say, I do not have access to the Forerunner account.
