Halcyon is a multi-specialty clan. We play and have played on a variety of servers, ranging from hardcore factions to towny servers. In essence, we are a close-knit group of experienced players who excel in a multitude of areas. Each of our members is unique in their own way, possessing personal traits that collaborate with the group to form the ultimate entity - Halcyon. We have destroyed and been destroyed by many foes, yet we have endured and remained an illustrious clan.
Due to the nature of our clan, expectations are set high among our members. We recruit exclusively, meaning you will have to impress us to receive invitation to our clan.
Following the rules are imperative to establish order and efficiency within the clan. There are many unnecessary doings often overlooked in a clan establishment. Enforcing the disbandment of such behaviors is the most logical way to do so. You must abide to all of the following:
Do not steal or grief.
This is fairly straightforward. If it is not yours, do not touch it. Do not mess with things you did not build without consent of the person who built it. In other words, keep your hands on your own stuff. Causing detrimental affect to clan efforts is one of the worst things to do.
Be courteous and polite to other members and allies.
Simple human respect is one of the most important attributes in a community. We will spend a lot of time with each other, so put forth your best gallantry! It is also important to be nice to our allies, to prevent possible demolition of a foreign relationship.
You may not multi-clan.
Multi-clanning is being in more than one clan at once. If you are already a member of another clan and you apply for Halcyon, your application will be promptly rejected. If you apply for another clan while in Halcyon, you will be rejected. This is for security purposes, as well as to ensure dedication of one purpose - Halcyon.
Do not reveal information about the clan.
This is also fairly straightforward. If you keep your mouth shut and do not say anything to those outside of the clan. As the saying goes, "Loose Lips can Sink Ships" It is important that you stay loyal to your clan and not say anything to people that could "use" that information.
You must be on TeamSpeak whenever possible.
Attendance on the TeamSpeak server is very important, especially during raids or defending our bases. It is vital that you are able to communicate with us (or rather listen to those who are communicating) so we can establish teamwork during times of urgency.
Please act mature.
While there is no "limit" to how mature one can be. Don't constantly make childish jokes or screw around when there are things to be done. While humor is appreciated, going overboard can result in inefficiency and annoyance. Don't be a nuisance.
Put what you can into the clan.
There is no "requirement" of how much time you are expected to put into the clan, or how much cobble you have to mine. If you can only be on an hour a day, then use that hour to help out in the way you can. Put whatever you can in the clan, so we know of your dedication and tenacity.
Use common sense.
If it sounds like something stupid to do, then it probably is. Be logical in making decisions. Don't be blatantly unintelligent. While this rule may seem fairly broad, it is usually fairly clear when you've crossed on the line. So don't cross that line.
Obey all requests.
If you are asked to do something, it is likely very important. So completing this task would greatly help out the clan's current situation. Should these issues be ignored, it would ultimately result in the end of the clan. So, this way it is important to follow what you are being told to do to ensure that what needs to be done, gets done.
Punishments
Failure to abide by these values will result in an ejection from the clan, depending on the severity. As a clan member, you are required to follow these rules and ensure others follow them. If another clan member is not following them, please inform the Director to sort the problem out.
A loose system of organization governs the clan. Emissaries and others have other obligations they must take upon to help aid in the clan's leadership. The Director, although he is the autonomous ruler, tries his best to achieve a general happiness with the clan's current state and direction. The ranks are not so much attempt to create a system of hierarchical power, but organizational responsibilities that maximize the efficiency of a socialist system.
DIRECTOR
The Director is the leader of the clan. He has the final say on all decisions, and has the power to overrule anything. He ensures the survival of the clan by smart decision-making. He is advised by his emissaries and the Secretary, and works closely with them to make sure that he can reach a mutual consensus among the clan. He is experienced in running a clan, and has done so for several years.
SECRETARY
The Secretary is the Director's personal associate. He acts as the right hand of the Director, and may do most things he can do (with certain technical, but obvious limitations). The Secretary has the power to kick anyone out of the clan, and make take certain roles within the clan when necessary, if the Director is absent. If the Director can not run the clan for whatever reason, the Secretary will take charge until he can.
EMISSARY
Emissaries are the close advisers of the Director. They act as his personal council, and aid him in making clan decisions. They are appointed by the Director. They have no other obligations other than to assist the Director when he requests them, otherwise they are to perform duties within their profession. They have no more "power" over other clan members.
MEMBER
The rest of the clan's members lie in this category. They are the capable and general workforce of Halcyon, and carry out their duties to ensure the success of the group in the long run. They are no less important than even the Director himself, so the members make up the general backbone of the clan. Without them, Halcyon is destined to fail.
NOTE: There are no clan professions (ie. farmer, miner, etc.) Everyone is expected to equally contribute to all aspects of the clan. Expect to be a well-rounded and efficient member!
This is our current home server, as we have no other server to play on. The current base is complete. If you have not been invited to the faction yet, please ask Ritzycat or another faction mod for an invitation, so we can get you in the clan and contributing as quickly as possible.
We are on this server due to our alliances. There is nothing currently set up here, however a few of our members are playing on it, and it is important we get to where we need to be so we are prepared to help our valuable friends in emergency scenarios.
This is our current main server. It is similar to CivCraft in many aspects, albeit much smaller. Contact Ritzycat for more details.

About the Application
Minecraft Name: This is for very obvious reasons. One to keep track of who exactly is our members, and other so we know who you are, and what to call you.
How long have you played Minecraft?: This is a good question to get a sense of your general knowledge of the game and a good judgement of your aptitude on general MC gameplay.
What is your age?: Knowing your age will help us know you better. As with normal human interaction, knowing your age would allow us to know if you would understand certain abstract concepts or not.
However, this is not completely limited by that. We can tell if someone is young but mature.
Personal Strengths: To get a general sense of what you are good at in Minecraft. This can range from PvP to creating intricate redstone contraptions. The more you give here, the more we will know how broad a range of skills you may have.
Name 3 of the clan rules: If you read the entire thread (as you should have), you will know the rules. Simply repeat a few of them to me.
Time zone: Please tell me what time zone you live in.
How did you find about us?: I want to know how you came about finding Halcyon. Did someone refer you, or were you just browsing the clan forum and found us?
Do you know anyone else in the clan?: If you are a friend of a current member, and they sponsor you, that will greatly increase your chances of being accepted. So if you have any friends, please list them.

[quote]A distinct section of a piece of writing, usually dealing with a single theme and indicated by a new line, indentation, or numbering. So, please make it so.
Why did you choose to apply for Halcyon?: Tell me why our clan stood out from the many others. Be specific. I want to know what is working for our clan and what is not. Include at least a paragraph.
How many hours a day do you anticipate you can play?: All rhyming aside, tell me how much you think you'd be able to play. This'll just give us a sense on how often we'd be seeing you and vice versa.
Notes: Anything else you'd like to tell us that was asked in the application.
NOTES ON APPLYING * Answer each question truthfully. There are ways to detect if you are lying, either by psychological inconsistencies or by doing a little research on you. Save yourself by telling the truth, as the ugly truth may be better than lying to those you would be spending a lot of time with!
* Complete each field as complete as possible. Applications that appear tidy and well-written are a good representation of who you are as a player, so it would greatly help your acceptance chance.
* If you are accepted or declined, a PM will be sent to you as well as an update posted to this thread.
* Do not sign up on the forums prior to being accepted into the clan.
* If you do not have TeamSpeak, a link to download the program is located in the Resources section of this thread. It is required to be a part of the clan. You cannot opt out on this.

TeamSpeak 3:http://www.teamspeak...?page=downloads
Download the current client based on your operating system. Do not download the server, just the client. This program is necessary for acceptance into Halcyon, so if you do not have it, I highly suggest downloading it here if you are interested in joining.
Rei's Minimap:http://www.minecraft...minimap-v32-05/
A very useful mod for factions servers. It creates a minimap outlying the surrounding area at the top right of the screen (may also be configured elsewhere). Very useful for scouting. I highly suggest downloading this mod, I find it an essential. Requires modloader to run.
Minecraft IGN: anthonyjrofl047
Age: (13 is the minimum) 21
Do you have Teamspeak 3: (highly preferred but not necessary. It is free to download, get it here: http://www.teamspeak.us/
Why did you choose us: first time looking for clan and i saw this in forum and i was hoping i can be of any help
Ban history: none
Strengths: Mining,
Weaknesses: (this should not be empty.) building, there are some items i have no idea how to make.
Favorite Minecraft activities: PvP, faction, raiding, mining.
Who are Halcyon's 3 leaders:Ritzycat, Adasia and Fidchelle.
Do you prefer Building or Fighting, explain: Fighting, much easier killing player than building for me.
Anything else you'd like to tell us:
Thank you for applying, but I am going to have to deny you. Your application is too short. If you expand on a bit I would lovingly accept you into our clan because you seem like a promising individual.
Good effort, I find it hard to take forum applications seriously myself lol.
Just expand on a few things like ritzy said.
1: Do you have teamspeak?
2: Go into detail about your strengths and weaknesses. I'm not asking for a paragraph but a few sentences is fair.
3: Just give a little more detail on the other open ended questions, give us a nice 3 dimensional look at you so we know who we're letting into our clan.
We pool a lot of our resources here, and we do bigger community builds where everyone contributes a little, but we also do a lot of pvp and raids, but because were so "Open" and because were all going to be working together, we just really want to make sure we can know you a little bit before we accept you.
oh ok sorry , i am now downloading teamspeak and my strengths would be listening to others and not refusing the orders and also a kind person i never talk back to others, my weaknesses would be i'm a bit shy when it comes to speaking through mics (I'll do my best to over come it) and my other weakness is big english words, if someone say something and i don't understand it i'll just pretend i knew what he saying hehe.. i mean i speak english but my vocabulary ain't that great. I sometime tend to stutter a bit, that is my weakness.
About me I'm 21 right now not working so i have a lot of free time, I don't know what else to say if you have question i'll answer them.
You in America? Economy isn't exactly great here too. I'm in the same boat. Just had heart surgery a month or two ago and I lost my job while I was recovering. I'm looking for a new job too.
I have decided to start creating personal signatures for each clan member. Join and receive yours today, with a title of your choice... Not in Fid's case. I chose his title.
Due to the nature of our clan, expectations are set high among our members. We recruit exclusively, meaning you will have to impress us to receive invitation to our clan.
