How to apply, and Applications
« on: July 08, 2007, 05:29:48 PM »
Since the Questions thread is getting a little long, I repost only the Application process here -- at the recommendation of Dame Khablan, KOGH.

Quote
Application: Any nation may apply to join the Order. The procedure is as follows:
1) Publicly post that you wish to join the Order of Gryphons. You may also select a Branch [see below] if it is your intention to join one.
2) Tell us what attracted you to the Order of Gryphons.
3) Tell us about your Virtues, why you would be a good Brother or Sister of the Order. We of the Knighthood believe that everyone has at least three virtues that would make him or her fit to join the Order. If you have problems attaching one or more to yourself, simply drop one of us a line and we’ll help you out!
4) Declare the name of the Nation joining if it differs from your registered name here. It is the custom to hoist the flag of Member Countries as they are received to the Order.
We are not looking for essays. Short answers will suffice. Simply be truthful, that is all we ask. You will be reviewed as quickly as possible. Under normal circumstances, this review will be done by the Chapter-Master of your Region and the Knight-Commander. In regional forums where a new Chapter is being assembled, the review process differs somewhat.
Supporters/Champions: Masterknights are asked to act as Supporters (in a style inspired by Heraldry) to Aspirants (those who have applied). It is hoped that an Aspirant will have at least 2 different Supporters. Supporters are asked to get to know that Aspirant they Champion, and post regarding the Aspirant’s Gryphonnic Qualities. Notes: Many Master-Knight nations have ceased to exist. Finding a Master-Knight as a Supporter may prove difficult.
To Aspirants: If a Masterknight does not step forward to Champion you, you may consider contacting known Gryphons for their Support.
After Application and Support, a review takes place. It is generally brief.

Newest Applications may be appended to this thread.

I, Talmann of Talstadt, wish to apply to the Order of the Gryphons. I believe myself fit to be a Brother for the following reasons:
A) First and foremost, I am an Eagle Scout of the Boy Scouts of America, and know the virtues of the Boy Scout Oath and Law;
B) Having achieved that rank, and also making it to Texas All-State (hard to do, FYI), I am a dedicated individual to my chosen causes;
C) I have been forever enamoured with chivalry and knighthood.

Talmann’s application having been processed on mIRC, it is with great Honor and Enthusiasm that Talmann of Talstadt is recognized as a Gryphon!
It is customary to erect a flagpole and hoist aloft the flag of each accepted nation. Therefore, The Chapterhouse and Demesne of The Order of Gryphons unfurls this banner.

Arise Talmann of Talstadt, Gryphons, and stand welcomed to the Order!

We still have one outstanding applicant - Korinna.  I think he might have been forgotten, so I'm copying from the old thread to re-post here.

Quote from: Korinna
After much pondering I have decided that I, Korinna, hereby wish to join The Order of The Gryphons.

I was attracted to the Order, because I share many of the  same ideals. I believe in honor, respect, and helping to better society and helping your fellow man.

I have always used my personal moral code to try to help those in need. I have always tried to be kind to everyone I meet, including those who sometimes do not deserve it. I do not let my kindness and generosity cloud my judgment though.  I will not to  hesitate to point out something that I believe is morally wrong. This has let me to be an outcast at times. I believe I am intelligent and believe that if educated to do the right thing people can change. I have been told that I am a great listener and have counseled my friends many times. I try my best to show respect and honor to those who have earned it. I do believe in the end love and respect is all we have to look forward to.

Here is the link to my nation in Taijitu. http://www.nationstates.net/brothers_of_korinna

Thank You for considering my application. I would also like to thank Thy for helping me with a difficult decision.

I support Korinna's application, but he also needs one more supporter in order to be accepted.  And note - ANY member of the Gryphons may support an applicant.

Will Champions Khablan and Korinna please take this Aspirant under their wing as the Review begins. Reviews are generally brief, so we do ask Canada to be patient.

After due consideration of your desire to further the ends of the Order, it is with great Honor and Enthusiasm that Canada is welcomed to the Order of Gryphons!

It is customary to erect a flagpole and hoist aloft the flag of each accepted nation. Therefore, The Chapterhouse and Demesne of The Order of Gryphons hereby unfurls this banner:


Let these be the last strikes you receive unanswered.
+++ Touches each of your shoulders with the flat of a sword blade. +++

Arise Canada, Gryphon, and stand welcomed to the Order!

Having clicked on the Accepted Knight's "Taijitu Naiton" link, I have discovered that this may be a more appropriate banner:

I, Siath Kozai of the Monarchy of Kozai, wish to apply to the Order of the Gryphons. I am a King of the Royal Family and thus, I hold the virtues that one of my status should have. I will be a good Brother of the Order considering being a Knight of my nation has taught me much. And I wish to join to ally with other nations, and I want to uphold honor and peace, something that is desperately needed in our nation.

Sorry I didn't acknowledge this latest application sooner. I was unavoidably AFK.
