Greets
well in the past month or two i been in here looking for a village that i could call home. Here is my story on the recent villages i joined up with and why it didnt work out. By the way this is prolly gonna be a long read, so if your too impatient to read it all, i prolly wouldnt work out in your village in the first place.
The first village I joined up with was after a day or so talking on skype and forums pms. got there and onf of the fellows were nice enough to let me build off his corner and make my own lil establishment. It took me all night sunday(till 4am) to get the wall up and finished. from there I had to wait a bit to get some seeds and stuff to start my crops. I was brought in as a back up farmer and as a cook. as well as I could place a personal claim over one of the HQ nodes to protect it and stuff. well by the 2nd or 3rd day, that village was raided and the baddies stole a CR. the descision was made to move and settle close to a superpower(one that i did not agree with on thier policies and so fourth) so i got in my boat and traveled 3 hours back to my hermitage and left that village. From the lil time i was there the people seemed nice and all, though i never heard any of them on skype, they just used it as a texting tool.
The next village I joined up with was like 2 weeks later. Once again We talked on Skype(actually talked to one another) as well as PM'd each other. the LS was a really cool, laid-back guy and all. hell Almost all the villagers in that village was Extremely Helpful. I got there and within a day i got my walls up and i was there for bout a week. Now with this village I was assured that "black" skills were not actively used and if they ever were it was only on abandanded villages and such. the first night i get there and i'm gathering materials for myself and what not, some dude in a ranger's cape starts talking to me in broken english calling me a Thief and that I stole from his village. Well long story short, one of the village foragers did indeed take stuff from an abandended village(no plow marks, walls all broke down) and these other dude just started to live there recently and began collecting scents. We did the Honorable thing and gave back most of the stuff and thought it was finished, but what happened "behind closed doors" and such was another matter all together. Now i will not go into the matter but lets say that i couldn't agree with what happened/agreed upon. So once again I leave and look for another place. this time possible in a corner of the map or whatnot.
this has been my experiences with villages so far in the recent months.
Now I would like to find a village that i could call home. one who would be considered a "good guy" village. so without further ado, i'll post what i'm looking for.
What I'm looking for in a Village:
1. Not a Griefer, AssHat, Might makes Right, We have black skills and Use them.(if this is your village in any way, just stop now please)
2. A village that is not alligned with Dis or Ainrain(i just don't want the drama)
3. A village that is alligned to a SuperPower that act Like #1. up there.
4. A village that has, at the very least, a BrickWall protecting it. as well security protocals in place when dealing with new villagers(to keep village secure)
5. A village that has read and follows for the most part Avu's thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7116
6. a village that uses a voice program(ventrilio, Teamspeak, Skype) and actually Talks on it, not use it for another village chat.
What a village will get:
1. A player with experience since World2
2. A player who works for the village as well as a player who characters have enough points that he can help out in a pinch just bout anywhere.
3. A player who likes to talk on voice programs and is kinda a comedian and what not.
4. A player who produces stuff for the village over and beyond what the village expects.
5. A player who is not wanting to take over, Seriously I'm in an authority position at my job, the last thing i want to do is come home and do it here.
6. A player who is a Team member and player and likes to do village projects, as long as i'm not the only one doing them.
7. A player who believes in the concept "to give more than to take"
8. A player who is Loyal to his village(as long as you dont sway to the village nono's otherwise, i'll up and leave.)
9. A player who has Very little(if any) enemies and most past villages, i believe, will vouch about what i say here.
10. A player who is not some kid who will start a crapstorm in your village because i lust for power/blood/(insert any negative thing here)
11. A player who has 2 characters. one industry and one nature. with non combat skills all over 65(half are in the 80's but most are just above 65)
Damn that was long. but if you like what you see, and your village fits the bill, PM or reply and we'll set up a time where I can get on your voice program server and have ourselves an interview. As for what i would like to be in the village? main cook and back up farmer. though I can do just about everything(except silk, never tried my hand at silk production.)
