Based on the legendary elite Viking mercenaries the "Jomsvikings", our clan takes its name and Viking theme from these hardened warriors of the distant past. Our organization prides itself on teamwork and skill in combat, with the emphases on teamwork over individual prowess. Although we do hold potential recruits to a higher standard, turning away more then we accept, once you prove your worth to the clan, you are a brother for life. Also, even though we do take our gaming seriously and have a mature attitude within our clan, we are by no means a "boring" group, there is plenty of laughter and mischief to go around to be sure.
So, think you have enough iron in your veins to be a Jomsviking? If you can meet the basic requirements and are brave enough to approach one of our members, then perhaps you too can become one of the Viking elite!
Basic Requirements to apply for membership:
Mature attitude: If you are younger than 18, just keep moving, this isn't a kindergarten. If you have a difficult time working in teams, don't waste your time, you'll just be killed in the first training match and left to rot.
Teamspeak: Yes, you must have a microphone / headset and the ability to speak coherently in English.
Team Player: Ok so you are the toughest dude in your realm, we don't care. If you can't learn how to fight and work as a part of an organized unit, you're worthless to us.
Viking Theme: Some items in-game are considered outside the bounds of our clans theme and as such are not allowed to be used by our members. These items are listed and voted on by the entire clan. If you want to ride a white horsey and wear shining full plate armor; the pink pony knights are just down the road...
Active Membership: We don't generally require our members to play a set amount per week, as many of us have real lives, jobs, families or are on the run from the law; but regardless, we do like to see our members in-game at least once per week for a few hours. Except for "required" events, such as major battles / raids and other such critical events, which may be required. Also you can not belong to any other guilds/clans within the same game.
Have FUN: As it reads, hang out, go on an adventure / raid with some buddies; build something, work on your swordplay, whatever you like. Just chill out and enjoy your gaming. There will be plenty of time to be serious, when the time calls for it.
How to Apply:
1) Walk up to a member and ask about membership (and survive the encounter).
2) Go to our forums or main clan thread and introduce yourself (character name, RL age, why you want to join etc..)
3) Meet with an officer or clan drunkard in teamspeak for an informal initial interview.
4) If approved by the officer, you will be given "recruit" status and allowed to associate with our clan for a time. If during that time you are deemed unfit for membership, you will not be allowed to join. If you are judged worthy, then you shall be granted official recruit member status. Only after a long period as such, will you be eventually promoted to full member status (if you survive and don't piss off anyone).
Clan Governance:
Our clan is organized around a central council of four chieftains and one Jarl. Each year, the entire clan votes to elect a Jarl and the council of chieftains. The council and Jarl act to decide matters that require immediate responsed and set in council to discuss and vote on matters related to diplomacy and settling any clan disputes. Any full member may run for the council when the election process begins. Generally the clan is loosely governed (owing to the trusted status of each member) and often matters that need attention are organized around a team leader for that project.
