 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | Application for pirate lords: 1. Have ye read and understood the warning? for the love of the sea comment on why the warning be needed and of what relevance it be to ye as an applicant. I have read and understood it. When ye step up to the ranks in any crew, ye're commiting yourself to give an even greater level of dedication and effort. But that's general knowledge. Anyone can write a rank application saying they can do so and so, but the other side of things be what the rank will do to them. I have been pirate lords and leader of crews before. I know exactly what the suffering be - I have experienced it firsthand. The sheer toll of the responsibilities ye have be overwhelming. That warning be as important as the rank itself, because for anyone else who be considering or going to apply - ye have GOT to know as much as ye can about what ye're going to be up against. In my case, it's just as relevant to me as it be to anyone else. It's a solid reminder of what I be going to have to face and deal with if I be chosen to make the commitment to pirate lords. 2. Why be ye applying for the pirate lords? I look back at Abs' quote: "Because I love this crew, I love my friends here, I want to make them happy". I can honestly say that be how I feel. And I have never felt differently since the day I joined the community. I would love to see the crew physically restored to it's former glory, and any opportunity where I can play a part in doing so I have previously done without a second thought. I have been pirate lords and leader of crews before, and I feel that my knowledge and experience in the field would make me a suitable applicant for such a high role. I wager that's where I could give the effort and dedication that the crew asks from it's members to the full extent of my ability. 3. What do ye perceive to be your current role in the crew and in what way do ye believe that ye have helped the crew to prosper? My current role... hmm, interesting one. If ye wanted a name, I'd say I be a Guardian. And when ye wager about it, everyone plays a role in some way. Wether it's being active in Pirate's Den, or making a plunder on the ships, or lounging in TS3, or the CC, or attending events, it all adds up. I've used what swords I have to walk the plank and make a contribution to the crew - I be good with web design so made the crewIRC, have had video editing experience so have done vids for a lot of the events I've gone to... even tried hosting events myself before  Basically if I feel that I can do something that will help us progress forward, then I give it a shot if the crew agrees.4. What qualities place ye above other people applying for this position? Hmm... I wager the best advantage I have be firsthand experience. I led my own crew Moratorium from scratch for several months in 2007, and was elected to pirate lords in the Red Blade Hunters in 2008-09. That's a key thing - Starting off as a ranked member in a drunk crew be much easier than being promoted to a rank in an existing crew. For one, a lot of the time not everyone be going to be happy with the decision. That's just the start. Because I've had the experience before (And I always believe the best seabattle practice be on the battlefield), I know how to analyze and cope with the situations that I expect to be in as pirate lords. And I'll tie this in with #5. 5. What makes ye wager ye can last for a long period in the pirate lords? This goes hand in hand with #1 and #4. I've been in the high ranks of crews before, and I know what it's like. I've felt and experienced the suffering that Abs and The Captain warn us about - more than once. But each time I've been put under pressure, I ultimately better myself on how to cope with it. I know that the crew be completley different to the other crews I have had to help manage, but the underlying foundations of the ranks and their effects be similar. I be confident that I will be able to successfully deal with the stress that I will be challenged with. I have Nay doubt in my mind that I will remain focused on my ultimate goal of giving the dedication and effort needed to contribute to the crew's ongoing success to the best of my ability. 6. What be your greatest weakness in terms of being a Leader? This be a topic that I don't like discussing a lot, but it needs to be mentioned. I have a characteristic flaw which I see as a spark of immaturity. the crew experienced it before - back in 2009 when I was training to join the crew at the start. It's part of who I be and it's caused me to make a few mistakes before - some of which I deeply regret. How do I address it? Every mistake I make, I learn from, and I never repeat it. I have matured over the years, and if I be aware that I be doing something wrong, I now know instantly to stop and do my best to correct it. I learn from the opinions and advice from others in such times, and it almost eliminates the problem and prevents further damage being done. 7. What does the crew need most at the moment and what will your main priorities be as a pirate lords Member? From my perspective: the crew's numbers be low. Our morale be low. Our activity in terms of the parrot be low. We be still on a losing streak for wars. Raid and mutiny turnouts be moderate. Things be being discussed, but only a fraction of it be being turned into action. The action which be being taken be progressing mighty slowly. We be not dying, but we have long been near a standstill. We should be pulling out. So what do I need to do? I need to be a driving force - a source of power for the crew to feed from. the crew needs someone who can recruit, motivate, host and attend events, increase their success, educate, train, bring about a turn towards victories. Someone who knows what to do, can take action and get these things done, with speed. And keep this work up at a constant or increasing rate. Edit 19/05/2010: I want to add a few more things to this section and outline key points, as it's mighty brief. To start, the points in the original plunder I can conform to: - Calm and control - can do. - I consider myself reasonably good at comforting and confronting others. - Whether I can boost morale or not be not for me to judge, but I certainly will walk the plank my hardest. - I have worked with ACP/Mod CP/Pirate's Den Commands since 2006. I could set ye up everything a crew needs on IPB and Pirate's Den in 15 minutes. - I have a microphone and do not hesitate to speak openly if need be. - Constructive criticism? I love that phrase  and be always open to it from anyone.- I do have the ability to remain calm in mighty stressful situations. - Behind the scenes work - not an intimidating thought, will be glad to tackle it. - Disputes - Aye, I can handle these. - Replies to PMs - Definitely. A lot of the work I would be doing were I to be promoted would become a lot clearer when I (would) take up the rank. However, I be not walking in blindly - I do have plans laid out as to the action I would take. I have been discussing the crew with it's members a lot recently, and I know the 3 main things I would focus on be - #1: Increasing PvP activity (Wars & raids), and winning these wars #2: Increasing our numbers (Recruitment) #3: Increasing our abilities (Training and seabattle practice/experience) Those would be my priorities. However, remember that if I were to be promoted, I would be YOUR pirate lords. And when in such a position, I be always open to the suggestions and opinions of other members. I would do my best to ensure that the action I take will always be in the best and positive interests of the crew and it's members. 8. be there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make ye seaworthy? aye-aye, I finish my first year of college in 3 weeks so once that's over and done with I be free of education for the summer. I plan to take driving lessons over summer, but they're flexible and aren't a major setback. My band be progressing, but we do 1, at most 3 gigs a week which isn't a lot of time off my hands. Next year I need to stay in education. If I get promoted to pirate lords I'll take a Btec - that's less than 3 full days a week and decent qualifications, so minimal education time next year. I don't plan on getting a job because I have band income/EMA so my afternoons be almost all free - plus I be mighty nocturnal on weekends so will have the early hours to get what I need done that doesn't have a fixed time. In short- nothing major. 9. Do ye agree to provide the pirate lords with two weeks notice if ye wish to resign? Aye. I would also like to add that if the crew feels that my efforts as pirate lords be not up to standard, then I will not hesitate to step down and give the position to someone more capable. This does not mean that I do not feel confident that I can carry out what I have pleged to do successfully. I be doing this for the crew, not just myself. 10. be there anything else ye would like to say? I wager all that I have to say in terms of my application has been said. I wish the best of luck to my fellow applicants, and to all of WildGuard as well. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Zemus Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2786 Member No.: 128 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 275 | Application for 1. Have ye read and understood the warning? for the love of the sea comment on why the warning be needed and of what relevance it be to ye as an applicant. Aye, I have read the warning a few times now. Every time the pirate lords elections be open I have a read. It does seem daunting but I feel that I can cope. I have experience with staff positions although I be sure it be nothing like the crew pirate lords, the stress and the workload, but i feel i can cope. 2. Why be ye applying for the pirate lords? I be applying for pirate lords because I want the crew to succeed, simply. Going to be honest here, the crew be at an all time low which isn't too hard to see, members be seaworthy, we have low pulls to the few events that we have, low morale and it makes me cry a little bit inside. Honestly though, I want to help the crew get out of this, and with a bit of work we can. 3. What do ye perceive to be your current role in the crew and in what way do ye believe that ye have helped the crew to prosper? I guess my most perceived role would be "recruiter", I be always trying to help with recruitment and have been acknowledged for it in the past. I walk the plank and help those drunk members feel welcomed and hopefully, graduate. When i did a lot of seamonster hunting I would walk the plank and invite the crew members along to make some money for sets. 4. What qualities place ye above other people applying for this position? After reading over the "what we be looking for" section I believe i fill most of those. I be a calm member, easily approachable. I have lead a couple crews in the past and also have been the crew Staff, i know what im getting into, i have good knowledge on how to use acp/mcp, Pirate's Den commands, managing runehead and general leading. I have experience in leading wars/raids so if needed i can also do that. I be generally always on Skull Island when im online and be open to talk about anything. When i was leading TGC at its peak I spent a lot of time doing behind the scenes work, I have Nay problems doing it all again. 5. What makes ye wager ye can last for a long period in the pirate lords?[/i] I believe i can last for a long period of time as pirate lords because I last a long time in bed, which if ye wager about it be quite similar... aye-aye maybe not but I do wager i can last along time in pirate lords too, I'll do my best to fulfill my duties for as long as i can. I have Nay plans to step down or leave until I have to (If i start to become seaworthy later down the track, i'd rather step down then take up a spot that someone else can do, but that won't be anytime soon im sure, unless i get hit by a bus or something and dont put pray up fast enough) 6. What be your greatest weakness in terms of being a Leader? l0ls?@ Peglegs hav Nay weaknesses idoit@  In all seriousness though(nopunintended), my greatest weakness be probably me taking things not seriously enough at times. I mutiny around a lot and sometimes it's the wrong time, but I can be serious when it's needed and so hopefully that won't be a problem. 7. What does the crew need most at the moment and what will your main priorities be as a pirate lords Member? the crew needs someone who be willing to help us get out of the slump we're in as stated above. We have a lot of work to do and I be willing to give it 100% to see us through the slump and back where we belong. I understand that I be applying for general pirate lords position but I also have experience as a raid leader and so will most likely be helping out in that area too. 8. be there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make ye seaworthy? I start Tafe in a month or so but apart from exams, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. 9. Do ye agree to provide the pirate lords with two weeks notice if ye wish to resign? Aye, I be not a mugger84 10. be there anything else ye would like to say? Good luck to everyone who's applying. I be not bothered if i dont get the position, as long as they're as committed to the job. --------------------  24th to 2496 Overall ~ 29th to 120 Dungeoneering ~ Guardian since November 2007 ~ - I now play WoW lols - Server: US Jubei'Thos Faction: Horde 85 Blood-Elf Paladin 85 Troll Hunter | ||||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Vephy Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 6186 Member No.: 813 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 478 | Application for pirate lords: Requesting Elite Guardian immediately. Aye I be serious. 1. Have ye read and understood the warning? for the love of the sea comment on why the warning be needed and of what relevance it be to ye as an applicant. I’ve been a member through over three pirate lords cycles. I’ve read this warning many times and have found it a major deterrent. I've respected the weight of this responsibility greatly. The work that pirate lords does be more than most realize. I can see that as I have had friends as pirate lords. The work load raises their stress level and burden to heights we may not realize on our radar. There be an undeniable pressure that comes with it. I like the pressure; I like the nagging thought that I might not succeed gnawing in the back of my mind. Without pressure there be Nay privilege. Pressure be what drives us forward and keeps us from falling off balance and losing our way. Meeting this pressure and succeeding be what my goal be. I want every member to feel the way I do. Succeeding under pressure be the most gratifying reward one can obtain. 2. Why be ye applying for the pirate lords? the crew be in the worst state it has been in since I joined. I’ve had a short time in the crew, I’m barely approaching two years in this crew, but I’ve seen a lot of ups and downs. Frankly I’m frustrated. I know the members be frustrated. The frustration has become paralyzing. I’ve seen too many people let this crew down for their own selfish reasons. So many disappointments in the members and staff, the will forward that has driven us here be buried within the dust and dirt of those that have forsaken us in their hearts and muddled our minds. Hidden within that debris be the gem that be the crew’s heart and drive. We merely have to clean the surface of the sturdy stone heart of the crew, polish it to find our true brilliant reflection. We need someone that has that strong drive to accomplish goals for the crew, not just for ourselves, but to put the crew always first above anything else even if it seems hopeless and tried. Most of all I want to inspire the members to arms, to inspire others to inspire. Now be the time to show your true dedication. We need a true act of selflessness from every member in the crew, show your true self. Come to everything ye can, make every effort ye can to boost our morale, boost yourself. Don’t bicker and fight each other or blame each other, we be in this together. Only united can we be powerful. We need to use our friendships and bind them stronger than ever toward a common goal and walk there strong step by step without straying into the darkness. Our line of sight must be as clear as the day and as narrow as point of the horizon on the road ahead. 3. What do ye perceive to be your current role in the crew and in what way do ye believe that ye have helped the crew to prosper? My current role be a the crew ship troll and seaworthy Emeritus turd. I came to be this way because of the frustration I felt as a leader in the crew. I'll be honest I gave in and caved, quit. Not long after one of our major meetings with The Captain at his house with the rest of the staff. I sat there listening to the same drunk debate that we've been having for weeks and months on what to do in the crew. I didn't wager anything would come of it, our motivation might have been strong with maybe most of the staff there but I doubt it would carry through to the members. I was dumped the responsibility to lead events and raids as well, I didn't wager anyone would really help me with that. I gave up after a few bad pulls later. This was a major mistake I later regretted. In a way I used Emeritus to take the pressure off, I was irritated, not happy with the crew and the way it was going. I needed the time to myself to recuperate and gather my thoughts I wager. I apologize for this mistake, even though it felt right at the time. However now I feel strongly about this crew and I feel I owe a debt to the crew and my friends. I was one of the most active mutiny Leaders in the crew. I took the rank mighty seriously and more importantly the responsibility behind it which I consider the most important aspect. I upheld my duties consistently through out my term and hosted numerous events and managed attendance on all my events and even that of others. I put a lot of thought and joy in making my events and enjoyed the effort I put into them. I hope ye all enjoyed them as well. I find joy in the details of managing things and I wager I can manage the crew to prosperity and success. 4. What qualities place ye above other people applying for this position? Absolutely nothing. I be a single member in your crew. Your rank defines nothing in a person, all my past accomplishments mean nothing except what I be now to ye. ye and I support the crew in the same function as any member. All I can promise be my best effort, which if I’m elected I expect from absolutely everyone. I want to bring out the best in everyone. If I were to define my strongest attribute it would be that I be a good listener. I never take sides and be always open to reason, analysis and debate when it be sensible and has meaning. 5. What makes ye wager ye can last for a long period in the pirate lords? I’ve been here two years already just about. I have a lot of strong friendships here. My friends keep me here and to let them down would be devastating to me. I be a mighty good self motivator and can use the momentum that I inspire in others to inspire me as well. When I see people driven to do something I become motivated. 6. What be your greatest weakness in terms of being a Leader? I can be impatient at times if things aren’t going well. I like things done quickly and how I want them, I don’t tolerate people much that have Nay empathy or don’t seem to give a loot. It be a double edged sword though that can be used to motivate me. I’m inclined to walk the plank to resolve the obstacles in front of me as efficiently as I can. My RS goals have also distracted me at times, as I’m sure happens to a lot of people. Why not make the crew’s success a goal though? What will a few pixels now matter when this parrot be over and done with? I’m hoping people that have this issue understand this and be ready to move on for the crew’s future and put behind whatever be holding them back. 7. What does the crew need most at the moment and what will your main priorities be as a pirate lords Member? the crew needs a kick in the ass. We need to start getting back to being active; inactivity can’t be tolerated any longer. By the end of summer I want a strong base member list of 80 members. This can be accomplished. To get there the main focus will be breathing life into our activity first and foremost. I want things to be fun again for the members, but they also need to know that they have to give time to the crew. I know real life be important but adjust your schedules, work with us, the crew to create something that can work time after time reliably for years to come. To do this I'll be talking with members regularly in Pirate's Den while coordination the raids, events and duties the members must fulfill. I will make it fun and rewarding though, I want more social activity and involvement in the crew. More hands on and talking with people. Get to know drunk members, get in the habit of looking for recruits and creating that positive image to the crew world. With that said everyone needs to put all their chips in and attend a certain amount of mandatory events each week. Raids absolutely have to be attended. It be really dead at the moment, but all we need be for ye to give one month of showing up to every mutiny ye can make, so we can get the ball moving. Skipping or trying to hide will not be accepted by me. I’m going to tell right now point blank, don’t make me kick ye from the crew. If ye don’t give a loot I will make ye leave, I don’t care who ye be, there will be Nay debate with me on this subject. If ye want the crew to succeed stay and help, if not ye can always idle in our lobby as a guest. I’m sure some inactives already do that, perhaps ye might not notice when I kick ye. The fact be if ye aren't here to help the crew ye have to face reality that ye don't belong here as a member, get in or get out, I still love ye though <3. Once we know who be on board for this we can take off again. Gain activity and soar upwards again. Our stronger and more apparent activity will boost our appeal to stronger players seeking a good crew. We have the history and strength behind us, we just need to make the next chapter in the crew's history. The possibilities be as limited as the scope of your imagination. The momentum has been snow-balling us into a descent that seems inescapable. However remember in the darkest of moments comes the greatest opportunity to prove yourself. Momentum be a positive and negative force that can flow both ways. We don't have to fight against our own positive energy once we start going. The tides can turn and flow in a drunk era in the crew. Now be the time for ye to reforge friendships anew, grow exciting drunk ones and rekindle commitments that ye will cherish and look inside yourself and find why ye be reading this mighty sentence right now. To fight for the crew and make the crew in our image stronger. 8. be there anything coming up in the next 6 months that could make ye seaworthy? I’ll have School and work; I’m working over the summer part time hopefully. I’ll take it as it comes. It won’t detract from the hours I can invest into the crew at the end of the day. 9. Do ye agree to provide the pirate lords with two weeks notice if ye wish to resign? Definitely, without question. 10. be there anything else ye would like to say? I always stick to my goals. Bring it. -------------------- | ||||||||||
