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.

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

 

[Thyatira]

Aspirant Korinna,
Thank you for your Application to the Order.
The usual method of processing Applications -- that of Sponsorship by at least 2 Champions -- has up until now been suspended. There are, however, now enough Knights of the Taijitu Chapter to allow for such Support.
Therefore, your Application cannot be processed properly until you have your 2 Champions. There may be volunteers for this, but nothing prevents you from contacting Accepted Knights (presumably by PM) to ask them to speak here on your behalf.

+++ To All Accepted Knights! Stand forwarde & vowche for thysse Aspirant! +++

[Khablan]

I will vouch for the aspirant Korinna, if I qualify as a supporter.

[Thyatira]

After due consideration of your desire to further the ends of the Order, it is with great Honor and Enthusiasm that The Taijitu Nation of Brothers of Korinna 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:

Arise Korinna, Gryphon, and stand welcomed to the Order!
Note that there was a delay in the posting of this Acceptance and that Korinna has earned the Title of Registrar within the Order.

Thank you for this honor, Knight Commander.

[Khablan]

Congratulations, Korinna!

[Noachian]

How can I join, I wish to join...er....Sir??

[Khablan]

Noachian, you can find out how to apply in our How to Apply and Applicationsthread.

[B9 perspective]

I visited the Gryphon's forum..and am currently considering applying ( am in the process of contacting members for championing my application). Does it suffice to apply to the Gryphons only here in Taijitu or is it recommended that the application take place on their forum? ( or does it make no difference?) thank you.

[kor]

Either/or is fine. If I were you, I'd just apply here if you decide to join.

[B9 perspective]

After having received a bit of Gryphon counsel, I've decided to suspend applying until later in January...
