  1. Spoiler

    Taravangium as Odium is terrifying, andI think he's going to defeat Dalinar. How he abused Wit is terrifying. 

    Kaladin 4th ideal was awesome, expected, but still really powerful. Especially the scene where Dalinar somehow connects Kal with Tien. 

    Fuck Moah forever the fucking cunt. Teft is a hero, and I'm gonna miss him. 

    Maya's "We Chose" scene was powerful and not what I expected. Was expecting Adolin to like bond her somehow, and think it will still happen, but the fact that the Spren were willing to risk death for whatever caused the recreance is powerful. 

    These are full book spoilers

    hey @Jedi_Sniper apologies you pinged right after i went to bed lol
    Jedi_SniperToday at 9:28 AM
    Cool, you still on, @BigSpoopy?
    BigSpoopyToday at 9:29 AM
    yeah give me a few minutes just woke up so gonna shower and grab some caffine will you be available in like 30 minutes or so?
    also while you wait, have you posted a forum application yet?
    BigSpoopyToday at 10:08 AM
    okay i’m back
    BigSpoopyToday at 10:18 AM
    @Jedi_Sniper lmk when you are around
    Jedi_SniperToday at 10:59 AM
    @BigSpoopy Sorry, I'm ready now.
    And yes, I posted an application.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:00 AM
    kk let's begin
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:00 AM
    Alright.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:00 AM
    First of all, TKR requires members to use their in game ruler name on the forums/slack etc, is that fine with you? If you aren't currently using it don't worry we can change that stuff later
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:01 AM
    I'm fine with that, yes.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:01 AM
    Beautiful, TKR requires the use of Slack which is a free chatting service somewhat like Discord, that is completely free to use (it's more customizeable for us to run the alliance). Is this something that you're okay with?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:02 AM
    I can do that. I've never used Slack, but I'll check it out.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:04 AM
    we'll send you an invite when you get accepted
    TKR requires our members to keep a warchest, which is basically an amount of resources and money that you don't spend and save for war, is that fine with you?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:05 AM
    I think so. I just started, so I've got very few resources, but I will keep a warchest.
    Are there requirements for said warchests?
    Like a minimum number of resources or something?
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:07 AM
    yeah, you'll find out more about that later on. TBH, right now, we're in the middle of a war, so you won't need to worry about the warchest rn, as we'll give you resources to fight. But that does lead into the next question. If TKR orders you to go into a war that might seem like you're gonna take a lot of damage etc would you?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:08 AM
    I would request sitting out, but good soldiers follow orders.
    BigSpoopy?
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:17 AM
    sorry
    War is a pretty big part of this game and of TKR, we'll help you out a ton to turn you into a mean lean fighting machine
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:26 AM
    Alright, cool
    @BigSpoopy Any other questions?
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:28 AM
    several :slight_smile: sorry working and doing this at the same time lol
    Have you played any other nation sim games before? like cybernations/nation states?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:29 AM
    Oh, it's fine, sorry
    And no, I don't think so.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:29 AM
    okay
    What made you pick TKR over the other alliances that probably also tried to recruit you?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:30 AM
    Well, the others seemed just like spam and I'm a big fan of the Stormlight Archive books, so I decided to apply here.
    I don't think I got a recruitment mail from TKR.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:31 AM
    oh okay stormlight is great
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:32 AM
    Yessir!
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:32 AM
    How active do you think you'll be? ie how often do you think you can check the game or slack? like once or twice a day? more? etc
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:32 AM
    Minimum of a few times a day during the week, and during the weekend, I should be able to check up on it every once in a while.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:34 AM
    nice nice
    what's your time zone
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:35 AM

    UTC-5
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:36 AM
    beautiful just a couple more and we'll get you sent to the academy
    What makes a good alliance and what makes a good member?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:37 AM
    A good alliance is one that is active and supports its members, and a good member is one that frequently donates surplus to assist weaker members.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:38 AM
    Do you consider yourself to be a team player of a lone wolf? Why?
    Jedi_SniperToday at 11:40 AM
    A team player. I always find myself trying to help out others in my alliances, but this also reflects my IRL personality. I enjoy working in a team because I believe that different strengths and skills complement each other.
    BigSpoopyToday at 11:50 AM
    okay, one last question
    Explain in your own words, which kind of a nation you want to become, and what kind of help you expect from TKR in this:
    Jedi_SniperToday at 12:27 PM
    I want to become a powerful nation, one that can help others grow stronger while still remaining one of the ultimate powers. I believe that the TKR will help me develop and trade for resources until I can become independent and strong enough on my own. I'll always stay with TKR, I think (depending on the community/circumstances), but I'm an ambitious guy.
    BigSpoopyToday at 12:47 PM
    okay sweet i’ll mask you up for the academy when i get back from lunch
    Jedi_SniperToday at 12:56 PM
    Alright, thank you very much!

    You've been accepted into The Knights Radiant academy.
    Please read the guides and take the entrance exam in Steps 1-3. The exam isn't difficult, it's more so meant to ensure that you know where the guides and other important information is within the alliance. It should take 10-15 minutes tops. You will find the exam in the end of each step.
    All information needed is provided in this subforum: http://www.knightsradiant.pw/forum/21-the-academy
    You will have 72 hours to complete the exams.

    Previous Alliances and reasons for leaving: (put N/A if you're new to the game): I was in Children of the Light. I was not given an official reasoning for being kicked, although, after asking a government member, I was told the reasons: because I was not active enough, didn't participate in wars, and I bought too much infrastructure.

    • To defend the inactivity, I was gone for around a month because I was taxed 100% for that whole entire time, which led to become bored, because I was able to do nothing (The reasons was because I did not declare war on anyone during one of the larger wars). Then, I was recently on a trip to see my grandparents for three days, which led to me being kicked I suppose...
    • Outside of that, I have never really appreciated participation in war, but whenever I have been told I have. I will go to war if needed, but I prefer to simply allow growth in the in-game nation progressively.
    • Lastly, I have been decently shy within the past alliance (my first alliance), and this timid behavior led to mistakes, which also was never really told to me. 

    So, this definitely will hurt this application, but if you do approve it and further converse, I promise to do better! (Definitely not stalling) 

     

    Do you owe anything (money, resources, etc.) to anybody in the game?: No, I currently am neither endowed nor in debt.  

     

    Recruited by: No one. I simply am looking for an alliance, and The Knights Radiant seem to be neutral with my past alliance and also have a large community, which could be interesting. That said, I also think the name is cool, lol. 

    Anyway, thank you for your time, have a good day, and:


    Sincerely, Empirical Dragon ;)

    did you apply on the forums yet while we wait ?

    you’re in luck
    @Dragon you here
    DragonToday at 5:56 PM
    Yep
    BigSpoopyToday at 5:59 PM
    okie
    let me check theforums
    okay, so just wanna make sure you are aware of this
    TKR is currently at war with the Children of the Light among others 😛
    DragonToday at 6:57 PM
    Oh
    I know absolutely nothing about the current politics behind P&W, lol
    That makes me seem shady
    Does that ruin my chances at this?
    lol
    @BigSpoopy
    Sorry for the ping if it is annoying
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:20 PM
    i mean it’s not ideal lol. Can you expand a bit more why CoTL kicked you?
    i read your post but would like to hear it again!
    DragonToday at 7:21 PM
    I wasn't really officially notified nor warned: although, as stated in the application, one of the members, Changeup, summarized it as I was inactive, not participating in wars, and buying too much infra.
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:35 PM
    alright well, give me a few minutes
    DragonToday at 7:35 PM
    Yep
    Thanks for your time too!
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:38 PM
    no worries
    so tkr requires our members to use their in game ruler name on the forums and slack is that okay with you?
    DragonToday at 7:39 PM
    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does slack mean in this context, lol
    Also, yeah, I can change it
    I am a dullard, jeez
    XD
    My goodness, for some reason I thought that CoTL was not at war with TKR
    That is embarrassing
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:43 PM
    yeah, I've killed a CoTL guy myself this war lol
    DragonToday at 7:43 PM
    Well, that makes things odd, but ehhh
    You know, I'll go with it anyways, XD
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:43 PM
    I mean if you wanna go to an alliance not at war with CoTL we'd totally understand that
    DragonToday at 7:44 PM
    I don't seem like the best applicant with lack of knowledge of the community either, huh; lol
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:47 PM
    haha, the average member doesn't always know everything, but you did also fight a couple of our close allies right before you left 😛
    DragonToday at 7:47 PM
    Yeah
    I mean
    They were all defensive
    Does that make it any better;-;
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:48 PM
    oh i know, i was just saying 😛
    DragonToday at 7:48 PM
    Yeah, lol
    Hey, I mean, they did a good job
    I lost like 200 million in infra
    I buy too much infra
    Also, on the topic of me changing my name on forums, I seem not able to... Sorry if I am just being dunce-esque, but am I missing something, lol?
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:51 PM
    We can change it later
    DragonToday at 7:51 PM
    Oh, okay
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:51 PM
    Slack is a online chatting tool kinda like discord, but it's one we prefer and require, are you good with using slack?
    DragonToday at 7:52 PM
    I can check it out, but no, I haven't ever used it.
    Sorry, I didn't really pre-read anything
    Oh, no; drowning in my own incompetence
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:53 PM
    lol, it's a free thing you can use in your browser it's not complicated, if you get accepted we'll send you an invite
    DragonToday at 7:53 PM
    Yep
    Just created an account
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:54 PM
    also just a heads up so you know, if you do join us, you're gonna get involved in a lot of wars over the next few weeks even if you don't want to declare any offensives 😛
    we're getting nailed pretty hard by your old side lol
    DragonToday at 7:54 PM
    Yeah
    Huh
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:54 PM
    CoTL and co
    DragonToday at 7:54 PM
    See, I knew that originally, but I don't know
    Tad of traitor seemed appreciated
    Well
    Yeah, you are right
    What do you recommend
    Honestly, I am quite lost and down to take suggestions
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 7:56 PM
    what made you leave?
    DragonToday at 7:56 PM
    I got kicked
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 7:56 PM
    oh I see
    DragonToday at 7:56 PM
    Yeah
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 7:57 PM
    I mean, did you enjoy the community there?
    DragonToday at 7:57 PM
    Ummm
    I didn't converse with anyone too much
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:57 PM
    We have a great community here
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 7:57 PM
    true
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:57 PM
    And we really want members to engage in said community, think you'd be more willing to check in and be active and engage here?
    DragonToday at 7:58 PM
    Maybe
    I suppose it depends, but the main reason for not being involved with the CoTL was because no one really welcomed me, lol
    It wasn't bad or anything, just seemingly an individualistic ideal there
    BigSpoopyToday at 7:59 PM
    well, we are pretty welcoming if I do say so myself
    DragonToday at 7:59 PM
    lol
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 7:59 PM
    you'll certainly get a welcome wagon upon joining slack :3
    BigSpoopyToday at 8:00 PM
    plus a mentor
    Jack Kyu LanternToday at 8:00 PM
    like me :D
    BenfroToday at 8:02 PM
    @Dragon are you willing to fight given the opportunity? If we accept you, you will be expected to jump in and declare wars on targets. We will help you find targets and provide you with resources, but fighting is the expectation given we are at war.
    DragonToday at 8:03 PM
    Hm
    Depends, you'd have to convince me. I mean, I could be down, but I might also want pacifism, depends.
    BigSpoopyToday at 8:08 PM
    Alright, sorry bud, but I think you're gonna be better off somewhere else in Orbis! There are other alliances better suited for how you wanna play the game. But here at TKR, we expect our members to go to bat for each other at the drop of the hat and not need to be "convinced." 

    Good luck m8, you seem like a genuinely nice guy, but probably just not a good fit.
    DragonToday at 8:08 PM
    Alright, welp, thank you for everything
    Sorry for the waste of time, and have a good day.
    BigSpoopyToday at 8:09 PM
    Not a waste of time, enjoyed getting to know you! Good luck :slight_smile:

    We require that you use the leader name in game as your name on the forum and on slack. Do you agree to do that? (Y/N)

    We require the usage of Slack, a free chatting application available for both desktop and mobile, for all members. Will you be okay with this? (Y/N)

    For military preparedness, TKR requires all of our members to maintain a warchest of resources required for war.  Are you ok with this? (Y/N)

    If TKR asks you to go to war where your nation may take heavy damages, would you do it?

    Have you played any similar nation sim games before (example: cybernations, nationstates): (Y/N)   If yes, which alliances were you in, and for how long?

    What made you pick TKR over other alliances?

    How active will you be?

    What time zone will you usually play the game in?

     

    The biggest value an alliance like TKR offers is the community. While you wait please feel free to look around on Sparring Grounds or join our Discord and say hi. Feel free to request the TKR Applicant role from @Oathkeeper on Discord.
