Jardir's Application

[Jardir]

1. Your IGNs, levels, classes, pvp or stage build and main character inside the game

Name: Jardir
Level: 75
Class: Ryan/Bounty Hunter
Stage

2. Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Brian, I am 21 years old, Male.

3. How often do you play Lunia?
About 1-2 hours through the week
12+ Hours on the weekend

4. Why do you want to join Rebellion?

My current guild is fairly inactive with 1 or 2 people logged in at a time. Rarely 3+

5. You bought something from a player for a third of its market worth, immediately after the trade the player realizes and asks to renegotiate the trade. What do you do?

I would renegotiate.

6. A fight broke out in the guild, neither side is willing to compromise, you are asked to take a side even though you don't agree with either. What do you say in order to begin defusing the situation.

Argueing over the internet is like winning the special olympics. You may win but you're still retarded.

7. In Rebellion we are active on our forum. How active will you be here?

I can be fairly active if I find posts worth replying too. Some "spam" posts I don't waste my time with.
ie; a thread called "What music are you listening too"

8. What are your current short/long term goals that you hope to achieve in Lunia?

No Goals, Trying to get last pieces of WS, Find Rodesia IV equip I need, then turn them into ColdShining (I will spend as much as it takes!)

[Ziggy]

We talked a bit at some point, seems nice and thumbs up for that special olympics joke, apart from being so wrong, I couldn't hold back a grin XD

[Finkster]

Application is short but fine, however..

I think you misunderstood this one. You are not involved in the fight but the questions is what you will do when for example 2 other people are involved in a fight and ask you to take a side. Will you try to solve the issue? If yes, what will you do to solve this issue?

Will you just tell them the same? "Argueing over the internet is like winning the special olympics. You may win but you're still retarded."?

Fine, I'll reanswer your question even though I think mine is fine...

Probably not, I would stay out of it. Wouldn't bother resolving it. I'd probably just start talking to someone else in the guild not involved, try take the attention away from the arguement and into another subject.

I have to say; I've got a good first-impression. I saw you reading others' application and kidding with ziggy...But seriously, if I didn't, I would vote against you here. No doubt.

I do believe this application didn't really reflect who you are (And wasn't as informative) and therefore I ask you to please answer some questions.

Quote:Argueing over the internet is like winning the special olympics. You may win but you're still retarded.

Like Ziggy, I laughed saying myself: "Oh, it's so wrong"; but leaving the joke aside (Which is brilliant yet way too wrong and offended me for purposes I won't mention), it looks like you simply said:
"Everyone who argues over the internet is retarted. I don't care about them" and wrapping it with something sweet.

Unlike your guild, Rebellion has many active players and therefore dramas are sometimes inavoidable.

Arguing is arguing, and doing so over the Internet is not neccessarily different than doing so IRL, and IRL we have courts, don't we?

Wheres some drama are stupid indeed, some eveoped for legitimate reasons and are worth to solve.

If you see two guildies arguing, Won'y you try to help or cool them down? Will you just let them go on?
Even the most retrated dramas affect the guild and should be solved.
Instead of letting them go on with their retrated business, why won't you exaplain to them why they are acting stupid?
Would you like to see your guildies acting stupid and feel good not involoving?

Guild is quite a family, and staying there, not caring or sacrificing them makes no sense. Especially if your reason to join us was being in an active guild.

Quote:I can be fairly active if I find posts worth replying too. Some "spam" posts I don't waste my time with.
ie; a thread called "What music are you listening too"

Can you give more examples for such threads? I agree listening to something and posting it is just stupid. (I sometimes post just to show others the generes I like and see theirs favorite).
But what about a thread of someone who shared a game, or someone who wants to talk about his day in school, his trip to another country, politics? Are those considired "spam" in your opinion too?

-Once again, I'm sure your application didn't reflect you well, and that's why I asked those questions.

It would not make justice for me to vote pro/against you ATM.

Getting myself involved in an arguement only makes matters worse. If I get involved in any way by trying to calm them down, telling them to shut up (In a nice way) etc then it only brings their attention onto me. They will not only keep up the arguement they are having but then try start one with me also.
I also believe people are entitled to an opinion whether or not everyone agrees with it. So as I said, I would avoid the arguement, and try talk to someone else on another subject, in hopes the people will join the new conversation rather than argue.

If someone is discussing an ordinary day for 90%+ of the people then yes, that's spam

"Oh so, today I woke up, had a shower, went to school, teacher gave us homework, god I hate homework, what do you think" etc.. something just... stupid (in my opinion)"

Politics is fine, That's always an interesting subject.

Games, nah, that's fine =/ Games are cool. Even Snakes & Ladders deserves a thread.

I think of spam in a forum as pointless threads that have no meaning and no value.
I also think most people should keep their personal lives to themselves, I have been able to dig up alot of dirt on friends (Test what I can find on the net) all because of their inability to keep some information secret.

+1.

[BluePhoenix]

Said it all... now i think he can be a good member >_> xD

[FrozenHearted]

It's not that I'm mean / too suspecting. Told ya already I'm the protective person that forgives.

I just knew Jardir didn't explain himself well enough and maybe even felt bad a lil, because I hoped for a better application. Now that he did, I can see how it even helps him with his application and prevents missunderstanding and injustice!

That's enough for me to give my +1, and every guildie has a trial time to see wheter he liks the guild and show us more of who he is.
