Where you heard of ONA: Like a lot of people I heard about this through The Art of War thread, which led me to apply to project art of war, but sadly I had applied too late and the server was brought down before I can get my application reviewed. I have applied to the new server (PPU) and am awaiting a response.
Previous Clans: I have not been in a clan before, but I understand that the chain of command must be enforced, and followed by everyone, and respect must be given to each and every member of a clan.
Why you wish to join ONA: I wish to join this clan because it is famous for being an all around very powerful group of players. While reading about Project Art of War, I read some things about the clan, and sounded very organized and still fun to play with.
Where you think you will fit in best: I will fit in best as a soldier, following orders to a T and using the knowledge I gathered from my experience in Minecraft and the beginning classes in this clan (if accepted) to good use for the good of the clan, and not my own. I would also fit in anywhere the clan, captain, or commander puts me, be it gather resources, or act as a decoy or scout. I'm all for the good of the clan before my own character's. I can be a very useful scout in any environment, and a very active member (although I'm pretty sure this will greatly decrease my chances of getting accepted in the clan, I cannot be active much in game or mumble this summer, I'm going to visit my mother in another country. But if accepted I can be a very active member after this vacation)
Do you play any of these games [Battlfield Bad Company 2, League of Legends, Pokemon]: I own Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the PC, but my laptop can no longer play it, it can only run at a maximum of 10 fps. (I do not have fps problems with Minecraft though).
If you were an animal... what animal would you be: A bear is a fine choice.
I, aTbagger understand that if I am not actively communicating with the clan in the Mumble VOIP server, I will be removed due to inactivity Yes
Age: 16 (17 in November)
In Game Name: Smilez62
Where you heard of ONA: PPU
Previous Clans: Semper Novum and Chaos Warriors
Why you wish to join ONA: Because SN and CW were poorly lead, unorganized and filled with inexperienced players and it drove me nuts. No one could build a simple mob tower, or a proper base. From the looks of things on the PPU you guys got your stuff all figured out.
Where you think you will fit in best: I am fairly decent with the bow. I am very good with TNT and cannons. I can be a spy if needed. i am all around versatile.
Do you play any of these games [Battlfield Bad Company 2, League of Legends, Pokemon]: Pokemon
If you were an animal... what animal would you be: A polar bear because they will stop at nothing to eliminate their target. They are the most vicious bear alive. they live under the harshest conditions and thrive under them.
I, Smilez62 understand that if I am not actively communicating with the clan in the Mumble VOIP server, I will be removed due to inactivity. Yes
I thought Polar Bears were dying out? Bar that slightly gay sounding bit, you sound like a reasonable person, you might wanna start playing League of Legends though. (On the EU client :biggrin.gif:)
I will start playing when i get my new laptop. hopefully it will be here first week of July.
Where you heard of ONA:
I was part of a rival clan on the old Art of War server.
Previous Clans:
IRS.
Why you wish to join ONA:
From my time spent spying on you, you seemed like a pretty awesome clan.
Where you think you will fit in best:
I think I would fit in best with any redstone scientists, that has always been one of my favorite parts of Minecraft.
Do you play any of these games [Battlfield Bad Company 2, League of Legends, Pokemon]:
Battlefield Bad Company 2, soon to be playing Battlefield 3.
If you were an animal... what animal would you be:
Assuming human is out of the question, I would probably want to be a tortoise. A nice, long, relaxing life.
I, CCNezin understand that if I am not actively communicating with the clan in the Mumble VOIP server, I will be removed due to inactivity [Yes]
Oh, just one problem, I'm banned from the Mumble server, so it might be hard for me to tell you, in voice about this.

Due to a certain person who shall remain named(UberaDpmn) and this clan's blatant contradiction of its own rules(unless by mature, they meant M-rated), I have decided that this clan is going nowhere fast and is an unnecessary time-waster and also a discomfort source. When this clan was fresh, things were great. We had our own server, dominated PAoW, and generally prospered. However, as the demographic of this clan steadily grew more lewd and perverted, things steadily started to turn for the worse until people were regularly breaking clan rules. Ubera, in particular, has gotten away with murder by saying "If we don't troll, this clan is boring". He constantly breaks the clan rule of respect, and doesn't really pay any regards to the rules, going as far as saying "blah blah rules hurr durr". Also, after giving this clan a 1-week grace period, it only got worse, as I logged onto the mumble, and one of the channels was named something that wouldn't be OK to post on these forums. The pillars of maturity and respect have crumbled. I hope you understand my reasons for leaving.
A former captain,
Crazylemon64
TL; DR;
New potential recruits: Don't join this clan unless you enjoy a 4-chan-like experience.
Current ONA members: I am disappoint.
I'm sorry you feel that way, Crazylemon. I'm sorry that things between yourself and ONA had to end like this.
Anyway... if the words of a barely active [recently anyway] member of the clan sway a few people who are borderline on joining, I don't mind. I only want people whom will be dedicated to the clan and active.
The clan is currently in a period of Minecraft stasis, due to the lack of a place to play. We cannot find the gumption for Minecraft at the moment. That said, the core members of the clan, that are active every day, still show up, and we have evolved into a brotherhood of friendly members. We play other games together, like League of Legends, Battlefield Bad Company 2. This stasis period, however, has been tearing apart the people who joined the clan solely for the Minecraft experience. Because the average age of the core members is around 20-21 years old, some of the younger members (like Crazylemon) might take offense at some of the things said. However, this is laid out very explicitly in the OP, and there is a clan age limit. By requesting to join the clan at an earlier age you are AGREEING that you will be able to handle a mature environment.
TL;DR;
New potential recruits: If you can't handle being mature in a mature environment, don't apply.
Crazylemon: Farewell.
ALSO! We have a 16+ age limit. We unfortunately have to deny any further applicants of a less mature age in order to flourish in the mature sort of gaming environment we wish to propogate. However, if you follow our clan closely, you will notice that there are many exceptions made for this rule in the case of mature young people.
What do you mean by this? I reckon you mean you make exceptions for very few people who don't meet the age limit? How does this work?

Im decent with redstone wiring and a good builder, Im not great with making it look amazing but I always make as useful as possible. I like to mine. (I know branch mining and things of the sort, but I normally just branch mine.) I love to pvp and raid. I also love the aspect of planning wars and the non physical warfare. Such as timing, where to be, where to attack, etc. I also enjoy creating traps and gimmicks.

I came across this clan while reading Valerius_Maximus's art of war post. I have not been in a clan before, and I hope that I will be allowed to join this clan. I want to join Orsa Novus Evum because I have recently been interested in pvp. Other pvp servers are wild and chaotic. After reading Valerius_Maximus's art of war post I came to understand that this clan is organized war where strategy is involved, immediately i came here to enroll my application. I am decent in redstone and know my basics. I also have designed several bases with defenses designed to kill enemies. Because I have extensively played Civilization I am also a strategist. I do not play any of the games listed. If I were an animal I would be a bear.
I, Ysharma understand that if I am not actively communicating with the clan in the Mumble VOIP server, I will be removed due to inactivity [Yes]. However with the start of school i can only play after 3-4 o'clock.
