Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm not sure if I can ask his here or not, but a person does not know unless they ask. SO! I already have a game plan for my Application Letter to the Herald Cabal, writing out the letter then treating it as a College Essay and proofing the crap out'a it. As for things I should mention, what else besides having a "passion for learning and growing as a person" should I have Liadon add within the letter? Should I present a short story or even a little backstory on Liadon's life? What are they looking for exactly within the letter? I've read the help files a few times now, I understand my RP and dedication have to be better than the other applicants for me to be accepted as a Inductee. I'm pretty confident that I've been proving that I can stand my ground when RPing and playing FL for hours on end (a couple times now I've played almost ALL day) so the dedication is there as well. Is there something I should change, fix, improve ect ect? Halp!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I have yet to have a Cabal Application denied. Once you are deemed ready to apply, only a total screw up will leave you out. Or bad blood from Cabal voters. It's not about the APP's but how you character behaves, and acts. Pre APP and pos APP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I was given permission to apply for the Cabal by the HERALD's "Dean". Do I actually need to get permission from the Cabal's Imm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Type Score. Your permition to apply to the Cabal should show there in Green. Along with the number of day it's active. Just write and post a APP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croyvern Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Type score. It will say "you have (x) number of days left to apply." As for what to write, that is up to you. Be sure to edit and proof it. I like to add a bit of my characters history, both "back story" and events that involved other characters. Perhaps let them know how you will aid the goals of the Cabal your applying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djriacen Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 It doesn't show up green in your score. (assuming we're talking about new score as I'm not sure if it's green in the old one) It is only green the first time you log in and are allowed to apply. Towards the bottom of your score sheet is where the days you have will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Oh okay, well I never seen that in my score sheet so I should still find some Heralds and RP with them and see if I can't get noticed. I am apart of the Academy where the HERALDs teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 That is a clan, when you log on and you have permission you will see a green note sayingyou have been allowed to apply to your clan's cabal. Then you scribe an app and send it and wait. Like they said within your score until accepted you will see you have x amount of days to apply.

Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well how do I go about getting noticed for that sort of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Well how do I go about getting noticed for that sort of thing? First, get your panties out of the bunch you have them in. Second, throw them at me. Now that we have that out of the way, let's go into formatting the app. Like your description, 56-60 characters. 60 max, 56 minimum per line. Now, why are you asking all of us bozos how to write an application? You're a smart girl. You know who Liadon is. Why does Liadon want to join the Heralds? What can she offer the Heralds? YOU gotta find it in Liadon's mind. Just relax, enjoy running guild quests and chatting it up and running for your life. You've got this under control. Be confident that you're not going to screw this up and you won't, ya know? We have faith in you. Now you have faith in you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 o_O *evil smirk* >_> <_< Liadon throws mysterious cloth at Valek. Mysterious cloth ***DEVASTATES*** Valek. *ahem* I wasn't asking how the lot of you... nice people... Would think how Liadon could respond, I was asking what they're looking for exactly. I have a really good idea of what and who the HERALDS are and I'd be proud as heck as a player once I get that nifty clan title before her name. And yes, I've had plenty of fun running for my life, living a paranoid life, RPign with anything and everything that's thrown at me/Liadon. When I sign in the world around ME fades away and I'm completely submersed into this one. My heart races, I get sad, I get mad, I feel like a total bad-***, sometimes a complete tard. All in all, it's a story I'm glad I'm apart of, and compared to like... ALL of YOU I'm the freshest meat around. I'm just trying to at least look cool like the rest of you while clinging desperately to a fraction of my integrity. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister E Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Getting Caballed (even Herald) is a big deal in FL. It is supposed to be for the elite. Since the pbase is not huge most people who want it will get it but you really have to work for it. Most of the time you need to be at least level 50 or show superb RP and PK. Any solid RPer can get caballed, and I believe you will be a Herald eventually. Enjoy the Journey as Liadon and as a growing player here in the meantime and trust the staff to give you the nod when they deem you ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imoutgoodbye Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 ****! I almost forgot! When you're writing that, I want to pass on a piece of advice that I got from a previous Immortal from a while ago named Sirant. He always said if he could fit his resume on one page, we should be able to put our applications, whether they be Cabal, Q-Race, Q-Class, or whatever you're applying for on one page. That should help you out quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f0xx Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hey Liadon, here are some applications I've sent in the past: Syndicate: app + Greetings businessmen, I write to you as I have been given app + the honour by King Kurvikhel and the Hungry One, to apply app + for your organisation. I have always looked towards the app + Company as a very interesting structure, one that is app + underestimated by many. But it is no secret that many who app + walk these cursed lands are fools. Fools struggling for their app + own goals. They struggle for good or bad, order or chaos, app + weaponry or magic, what those fools do not understand though, app + is that TRUE power lies within the most simple things, such app + as GOLD. They fight their own wars for their own causes, which app + most of the time are so complicated and deep, that even they app + do not know why they are fighting... while on the other hand app + the Company stays and watches, and supports those who pay app + the best. Simple. Each of us has different reason for joining app + the Syndicate, my reasons are simple as much as they are trivial. app + I want power, but since I do not have the muscle to crush skulls app + I need to learn ancient spells to deliver suffering upon my app + victims. The books and scrolls containing those spells are rare app + and rare things are expensive. ===== Watcher: app + WATCHERS! This Liadon! Me fight for mother app + Gaia! Tear faces of undeads, demons and avatars! app + Jump on them while they on the ground! Eat their app + nose! Liadon smash all Tribunal. Liadon raze app + all cities. Me like green forest. No tribunal app + ain't gonna cut forest down to build dirty app + town on it. No demon ain't gonna kill our mother app + for him to get stronger. ME GET MAD ONLY WHEN app + ME THINK ABOUT IT! RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! app + app + Me get them back to the whole they crawled from! ========== Savant: app + Savants, Master Sepahoona, app + app + I write to you as I have been given the permission to apply for your app + organisation and join forces with you who seek knowledge beyond those app + of ordinary mortals. Most of you know me already, but for those of you app + who don't, I shall introduce myself. app + app + I am Vakuul, humble believer of the ways of magic. I wish to join app + you because I think we all have the same goals - educating the lands app + of our ways and fighting those who refuse to understand. Allow me to app + join you and assist in doing so in every way I can. Now it is up to app + you to decide whether I am worthy to be given the opportunity to call app + myself a SAVANT! ==== Nexus: application + Greetings creatures of darkness, I write to you as I have been given application + the permission by lady Anume to apply for your organisation and join application + forces with you who seek desrtruction and chaos. Now it is up to you application + to decide my path and whether I am worthy to stand next to you and application + fight each one who opposes the only true power, the power of the Rift. application + application + You will ask what do I fight for? I fight for the same thing as you, application + corruption, taint and destruction. I seek to bring a plague to the application + lands, a plague which every man, woman and child shall not easily application + forget. Allow me to join you and assist in every way possible to application + destroy everyone who opposes the NEXUS! === Tribunal: app + app + Greetings Tribunals, Highblood Oppresant and Marshal app + Grum, I write to you as the Imperatrix has given me app + the chance to apply for your mighty organization. app + Organization which brings justice and punishes app + everyone who is willing to oppose our laws. We shall app + be the shepherds of the innocent souls, seeking the app + safety of our strong gates and high walls. We shall app + protect and herd them, for they are the authority app + that our strength comes from. There must be order in app + these lands, because without order everyone is free app + to do whatever they wish and that of course, is not app + right. Everyone is free to do only what our law app + allows them to. And it should stay that way. app + I hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabal application needs not and should not to be so lengthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Liadon, Just apply, short simple one or two paragraphs. At this point you have already earned entry. The final step to joining a cabal via application is more of a minor hiccup than the epic thesis your making it out to be. your overcomplicating things.

Croyvern Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Absolutely agree with Kyz. The funny thing is that we are into page three of helping her out and have not had a single reply by an actual Herald. That said, as a former Herald L, I can asure you of the validity of my advice.

Liadon Xiloscient Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 IN-GAME my character is always keeping a journal, it's my excuse to stop playing for a bit remain in game and write down everything I need to remember (names of people, places, things I can gate too...) everything. I have a VERY elaborate background for my character and I'm always thinking of way to expand on it and elaborate it more. Which is another problem I'm having, I'm not too sure how creative I can get with Liadon's history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
