howdy y'all! will there be a post to say once everyone's been notified?
We'll do a post when everyone is in our server! There's a couple of people who either submitted the wrong Discord ID or aren't accepting friend requests so we'll have to bump them in a different way. More than half of our members are in, though!
If someone doesn't make it in this opening is it alright to apply again for the next one? :D
Absolutely! Since we will only bring in 20 people to have a smoother opening, it meant we had the very difficult job of choosing who would be the best candidates in the server. We actually had to randomly select a few people thanks to how well done the applications were. We’d love to see people apply again in our next opening, which should be in a few months depending on how things go!
How long should we expect to hear back if accepted 0w0
You should get friend requests on Discord within an hour starting at 9:30 MST tomorrow morning! Most of our candidates have already been picked, though we have changed our choices based on new applications.
Member Applications - What to Expect when they Close
Hello there! Just going over a few things to expect when member applications close. A lot of this will be reiterated on the apps-closed post.
To get this out of the way: please make sure your Discord is accepting friend requests!! We'll be contacting you there from my account (with the nickname beowulf). If we can't reach you, we will message your Tumblr or other socmed account(s).
Firstly, we are accepting 20 people. The original number was 32, but 20 -- for a server count of 30, counting our high ranks and mods -- is more manageable and creates a cozier experience. It's VERY hard to choose seeing how many talented writers have applied so far, but it just means we can look forward to future application periods and what talent they may bring! We're not just looking for "correct" writing -- creativity and interest is key.
Secondly, you will be assigned a clan when you are contacted. Sorry that it wasn't made clear on the form, but everyone who is DM'ed will be assigned a clan they make a character for. What their role will be is up to them when they join but we will have a cap on caretakers and gardeners. A few people asked to be caretakers or gardeners; they will have priority in the role first.
Thirdly, NPCs will be permitted but there are specific instructions in the server for NPCs to prevent overpopulation and stagnant background characters. Please don't get too attached to a character idea or an NPC idea just yet! While we will start out with one player character, that number will increase in the future, so don't worry about getting too antsy.
Lastly, I just thought it was neat that our most popular Option 1 roleplay sample was Stoneskip and his exiled sister. You guys really went hard on it.
Thank you so much for all the love! See you on Sunday! Our applications will close at 9:30 AM MST on the 4th.
One more day! How is the final count looking for high ranks? Also, how are applications going to look for regular roles? I know you said we wouldn't be making characters until we get in, so what questions are we to expect? Thank you and good luck for upcoming applications <3
One more day indeed! We’re currently at 14 applications! That’s double what we needed!
The application for regular roles is fairly simple. It’s just asking for a little bit about you and a roleplay sample at first. Later, it asks you what clan you prefer, why, if you have any character ideas, and what rank(s) you want the most. It’s also got a couple of questions about the kind of events and roleplays you prefer and a couple about how you like to contribute to servers.
We’re looking for people with creativity, mostly! People who seem to have interest in the server more than just applying to apply.
Thank you for the good luck, and good luck to those applying!!
What are the most common fowers to find in HopeClan?
Yellow gorse, foxglove, flax, heather, and various other natural flowers grow around the forest and bog; however, most of the flowers you'll find in the territory will be in the HopeClan garden northwest of the camp. Trees didn't grow here, leaving a clearing a quarter of a mile across that was perfect for wildflowers to thrive beneath rain and shine. Over the many moons of HopeClan's control of the territory, these flowers have been tended to and rearranged so most gardeners will know exactly where to find what flower or herbs they're looking for.
Here's a handy website for the most common flowers you'll find in HopeClan territory! If any of these have medicinal purposes in humans (and aren't poisonous for cats) the purpose can be transferred over for the druid and archdruid. Many of these will also be found in the FateClan territory.
I won't be too picky about what flowers you use to name your characters, though. As long as they're somewhere in Ireland, they're free game. (And you don't have to get too into the nitty-gritty of whether they were around in Medieval Times or not.)
