Application - Gridframe

Post by Gridframe »

Hello everyone,

My name is Gridframe, and I would hereby like to apply to Athen Paladins.

About me: I am a now grey haired gamer dude, that played AO way back in the day for the first time, pre SL.
I have had one or two returns ever since, yet my last time present was I would think around 2016?
It's an old and nostalgic love and my itch to play has recently returned, and now that work, married life and parenthood have settled more, I find time to play.

Why do I want to join Athen Paladins?
Your org is well respected, and has been around a very long time.
I have even seen some of you running by in Caloss2's videos.
I would like a home where I can play AO and relive the good old feelings it gave me, surrounded by knowledgeable yet laid back people - i'm too old for any toxicity or stress!
When you have maintained your org for this long, it makes me believe firmly that this is a well established and pleasant home for those who love AO.

Currently I only have this character, Gridframe with a froob account on the side for storage of old stuff I have.
Full disclosure:

Gridframe - Opifex Fixer 11/1. (Paid)
Storacks - Opifex Trader 1/0. (Froob, just for banking).

EDIT: I apologize for not providing my play hours. I usually play during evenings, approaching midnight. Throughout the day I may be on, if work permits :P
Commonly its from 22:-24:, and maybe the odd weekend binge day.
EDIT 2: I have read and understood (and agree with) the Code of Conduct.

I would like to relive my AO journey with my favorite class (Teh Fixah) surrounded by like minded people as early as I can.
I do not have extensive knowledge of AO, as I have never been super high level, but have a decent grasp on what Fixers do and what they can work with.

Hopefully my application has given proper information.

Hello Gridframe! Welcome on our forums.

Great application, very complete. You just forgot your time zone... :wink: But it's fine; we're on an excellent way.

We have many old-timers coming back and joining AP. I repeat this over and over... it's not that I'm getting old; it's just that it's true and permanent.

You'll find a good place with us to fulfill your new hopes and grow up on your characters.

Also, tank you for reading and agreeing on our Code of Conduct and Org Chat Recommendations.


So, now, the next steps for you....

YOU ARE JUST 4 SMALL EASY STEPS TO JOINING ATHEN PALADINS


1. 45 SECONDS OF READING




2. ENTER OUR HOME
  • Join our guest channel on our org bot ("Bobsan") so we can meet in Anarchy Online:
    • - Ask any AP member to invite you to our guest channel. Just say you are an applicant.
      You can usually find AP members at the ramp of the big Vanguards building near Old Athen Grid terminal (where the NPC Ramon Bauer stands).
      OR
      - Invite yourself: if you can’t find a member you can self invite by typing /tell Bobsan !join
    These are temporary invites: do it again each time you want to be on guest chat.

    Once on guest chat, feel free to introduce yourself and ask for an officer. Also ask for help with any questions you may have about your application.

    At some point, an officer will contact you for a brief interview.

3. FIND AN OFFICER TO TALK TO
  • Help, questions, concerns, interview… Officers are here for you.

    Once you are on our Guest channel (see #2 above), do !online in chat to see who is online and to find any of the officers listed below.
    OR
    You can directly see if a specific officer is online and on what alt, by using the command !is in chat, like for example, !is Reyz will return the character(s) Reyz is online with.
    • Ustarlen - GMT +12
      Cherib - GMT +12
      Scykeep - GMT+2
      Mophro - GMT+2
      Drzoidberg - UTC/GMT +3
      Chrisax - (President and org Founder) GMT
      Noky - GMT -7
      Shacode - GMT+1
      Bonniedoom - GMT -5
    • UTC can be seen in-game with the F9 key.

    4. SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
    • You are about to enter an old and happy family. Please join us for the good reasons. This family had been built since 2003 by the work of awesome people. So, as you are joining, we want to mention old friends and officers we lost.
      Reapermann, Fuze, Rampage007
      You will never see their names online, but if, today, you can join us, it’s also because of them.

      Enter here with friendship.
    See you soon in-game. :D
