Ammako Swords Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 First Off, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. As the title says, I am currently fighting and scraping tooth and nail trying to get myself established into Ordo, by any means. I applied a few days ago, only to be denied and told that the age of my account is too young. I have tried explaining myself, and expressing my actual detailed combat history to individuals, and got nowhere. So now I come to the forums, pleading my case once more.With great regret the other day I received my official Denial from Ordo. I have reviewed the reasons from a few people who were told first hand. That my Profile was not very Detailed, that My Avatar suggests that I have other accounts and that I could be a spy. The greatest factor I heard was the Age of My account. I can understand the situation that you are in. That there are many people fresh to SL, Let alone Fresh to Any form of Combat Scenario. In regards to the content of my Profile. I apologize that my profile did not contain more detail about my combat experience. This has been rectified since then and contains much more detail than it once did. This includes some of my listed Combat Zones and other SIM's I have participated casually in. In regards to my Avatar and SL history. This is indeed my first account. I met up with some friends early on who taught me quickly in various aspects of SL. Mostly on combat and the physics of the SIMS and basic rules and regulations. As a rather technologically inclined individual, it was rather easy to pick up on the editing/modding/scripting of SL. I feel my extensive background in other FPS and Over the shoulder shooters to aid me tremendously in the facets of SL combat and encounters. From a Tactical stand point, I believe my own mental prowess blessed be in concept and carrying out of Strategical missions and objectives. In regards to the large issue of my account's age. I completely understand the age of the account restriction for joining Ordo. In situations such as yours, I'm sure you know the scenario of a green user wishing to join, claiming they are something they are not.I come to you now not trying to merely tell you what I am. I come to you now asking to show you what I can be. I wish to provide any sort of resource to the Ordo organization. Even if at this time it is nothing more than SIM cleaning or miscellaneous work. I just wish to prove to you my potential fully before I am fully denied. I wish to know that I proved what I was worth, and If I am still rejected after that, So be it.With that, All I can do is state that I am at your will. I wish to prove myself, and If you allow it, I will do my best to show you what kind of value I can be to Ordo. That's All I am asking for, a chance to prove my worth. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilium Supermarine Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Chill man, it's a game. They don't bend the rules for people. The age is set there for reasons, The best thing you can do is hang out in the sim, be cool follow the rules and reapply when you're of age ma boy. also you're a sword.

Cyphre Iredell Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Account age is a pre-requisite for joining regardless of ones' situation. This being your first account, your extensive combat history is fairly irrelevant by comparison. If I recall correctly, the applications explicitly state the requirements of account age, so why did you even bother, let alone attempt this little rant?Now that I look at it, this already sounds like a trend if you started a forum account here and didn't follow the primary rule there either of having both first and last name.

Ammako Swords Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 My apologies for the Name concern. It will be rectified asap. In regards to as to why I applied even though my account was under 5 months of age. I was told by several people before I even applied that sometimes special cases were permitted under that age limit. Now, I'm not trying to make myself out to be some sort of epic combat lord. I was just doing all that I could and hoping for the best. That's all you really can do, rite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Only those with known alternates, obviously; wherein the rule applies only to their primary or previous account that we are made aware of. And no, all one can do is take note of the obvious rules that apply, doing otherwise does not shed a favorable light on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Swords Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well. If your word is the word of Ordo as a whole, I can only bow my head and apologize for wasting all of your valuable time. I look forward to attempting to join your ranks once again...Possibly 4 months from now, who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammako Swords Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 ((For dramatic effect, listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl1fVI9MU-Y while reading >.>))First off, I would like to thank you for taking even a slight bit of interest in the scenario. In regards to Kristian Kit's question, yes I was informed of Ordo from several current members. satogu Furkel, Jester Spearmann and Karlhockey Forte. These are indeed my friends inside Ordo, but it is another matter entirely.As far as to which of those three I am. I am none. It's true, that three friends of mine are in Ordo, but that is not what keeps me pushing. I do it for myself. I was told no, that I was not experienced. I was told that I was unable to do something. This lit a fire, a passion deep within me.I am a man who lives for challenges in every facet of his life. I am always needing to be challenged and questioned in my life. I refuse to live blindly and blandly. It is my pride and my valor that pushes me on in everything that I do. This, though it is a video game, is no exemption from that rule. I seek challenges, and meet them head on. I seek to face every challenge that is laid before me. This is no differentThis is a challenge. The age limit on the group makes sense. The average SL user may not be very familiar or comfortable with many aspects of the game yet. I have always been one to do something, to do it to the best of my abilities ASAP, and then push those boundaries even farther. I feel quite comfortable with many aspects of SL. Be it something simple like buying items, unpacking. To detailing and modding items to fit any sort of frame, color scheme, idea that pops into my head. I am always tinkering and experimenting, trying to find something new. So... I really do not have much more to say in regards to the current questions being posed. The only thing I can say now is. "Row Row Fight Da Powah." and hope that I can get the chance to prove myself worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, your worth isn't being questioned. While I'm not in our recruitment department, I can tell you that we value every application!But let me offer up some food for thought while you're waiting on a reply from "Da Powah." A big part of being in a military community is doing what you're told and has a certain level of conformity so that things operate as smoothly as possible. Read your previous posts and ask yourself if you're showing us you have the ability to do that? Don't answer, it's just food for thought and my post doesn't affect the ruling in either way.

Ammako Swords Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Appologies, was just trying to bring some humor into the issue. I under stand that this is a rather serious issue, but I felt that a smile wouldn't do any harm. I do understand that In this SIM and all missions pertaining to it, that my life is forfeit to Aryte and what ever he deems fit. This is a given.

This is a given.lol, calm down, man. Aryte just asks that you don't be a 'tard. He doesn't want your LIFE or anything. Shang Tsung does, he's crazy. But we all watch out for eachother. Anyway, just chill out mang. It's all good. If you get denied again, just wait until your av is old enough and reapply. We always have room for cool folks.And by the way, I've been listening to that song for an hour or more, now. It's crazy, but the song is so catchy. Never saw it before, so thanks for the link!

Kristian Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Okay, well i will get back to you either way. Lets hope that my next IM is to notify you when you can start with your training. It's up to Aryte now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryte Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Several key points that need to be mentioned here.Foremost, 'fighting the powers' that be of the organization you wish to enlist within seems a tad bit out of line. Although your desire to partake is noted, the boundaries and rules by which we live are something you'd be held to upon joining. By what should we expect you do, if we bent the rules /for/ you?Provided you ascertain a vouch-in from an existing member, the age requirement can be waived. You will still be, however, held accountable for any general concern beyond age. In short, rules are sacrosanct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Swords Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Understandable. Now, my view point on the whole "Row row fight da powah" Sure, that video and the general message of that song is to stand and be an individual and question everything. To some extent thats what I am doing. I am a natural born fighter, I refuse to fall by and means when I have the chance to push on. I will drag my bloody beaten corpse to the ends of the earth if that means achieving my goals. So, when I saw a spark of hope, I fought for it. Kicking and screaming. Now, what is expected from me? Loyalty and Obedience, regardless of the situation. If someone is going to put their name behind mine, I sure as hell will not put a single blemish on their names, or mine. It may sound corny, but it's an act of honor. The names and titles I carry with me mean a lot. If I was given the privilege of carrying them, I will not do anything to tarnish them.

Phillip Hultcrantz Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This is all nice and all that junk.. but honestly, your lack of patience would make me turn from intervention. If you can't wait a short time to be of age then what other issues will we have to deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Swords Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Once again, I would like to apologize if this is causing anyone grief. The whole reason for it was based off of being told multiple scenarios. Some people saying there was no way, and others saying there were.
