"The main perpetrator of this monkey lie [evolution] is Charles Darwin. He claims to have developed this 'theory' after studying 'finches' on the Galapagos 'Islands,' but I can guess why he really came up with it. He was on the Galapagos Islands for Spring Break, got smashed, woke up in bed next to a monkey, and then had to come up with a theory that make it all okay." |

Killed 10 Boars Posts: 10 Joined: 17 Jan 2008 | http://hosted.filefront.com/Uthous Our first recruitment video, please do note this is only like the third video ive ever tryed to create, the streaming version isnt a good quality compaired to if you d/l it. Any Feedback is appreciated. www.war.the-acolytes.com WAAAAAAAGH! |
Master Looter Posts: 1053 Joined: 5 Jul 2007 | Pretty cool, lots of guilds are going all out to recruit so it's cool to see this. After watching it though, I do have some comments, it says multi-mmo guild in it but only references WAR stuff like destruction side and the entirely WAR based footage. Granted I don't know anything about AoC, but shouldn't you have shown something about AoC? Or was this video to recruit WAR players only? Ahhh I really don't know, very neat, much more than many guilds have. I like the music, it was a treat hearing anything besides hard rock and/or linkin park. Emancipating heads from necks since 1987!

Apprentice  Posts: 4 Joined: 9 Aug 2006 | We definately appreciate all of the kind words Cicadymn. Correct that WAR recruitment video was primarily aimed at the WAR players. Cicadymn if you just wanted to take a look at our AoC video you can view it here http://aoc.the-acolytes.com/ , but please do not think I am trying to bring AoC to these forums, no worries there.

Master Looter Posts: 1053 Joined: 5 Jul 2007 | Nah I dont care about that or anything, I was just uncertain if it was for all the games you guys play or if it was just for WAR, now that I know that it's just for WAR the video makes much more sense. Emancipating heads from necks since 1987!

WarCry Choice  Posts: 7 Joined: 23 Jan 2008 | Great video Uthous!!! |
Ding! (Grats!) Posts: 33 Joined: 16 Jan 2008 | Yeah sorry for the confusion, while the Acolytes are a multi mmo guild, that video just has intentions of WAR recruitment. Glad you asked though!

What makes you think that? www.war.the-acolytes.com WAAAAAAAGH! |
Master Looter Posts: 1053 Joined: 5 Jul 2007 | DONT SAY THAT MOON. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Well thats how I feel as well. T_T They just keep delaying and delaying. They're changing a lot and they wont hardly give us info! I'm sure we'll have it this year, but probably not till late. :[ It's important for them to do it though. With MMOs hurtling towards their death as soon as their released because of a walmart-like shadow over the MMO community It's no surprise that they need to make it as good as possible. I think it's amazing their listening to their community and working to make it the best possible. But I also reaaaaaalllllyyy want to play it. Emancipating heads from necks since 1987!

Looking For Group  Posts: 121 Joined: 6 Sep 2004 | Well I am starting to like this game more when I research on it. I have been playing WoW since release and I am starting to get tired of it.

Acolytes Mission Statement
The Acolytes are currently a Guild forming for multiple MMORPGs, initially for Age of Conan, and more recently, for Warhammer Online. Yes, we know that the release dates for both are still quite a ways off, but we are trying to get a good core of people started off early, developing friendships and bonds, tactics and plans, so that we as a whole will be better prepared to take on what both worlds have to throw at us.
Our goal from the very beginning, will to be a mature and active guild, that and to have fun at what we do. We also plan to do our part to continue the ongoing story behind both games. We will be participating in PVP, and we plan on taking down our enemies with no looking back!
We will be playing the Destruction side of the conflict, and plan on having certain objectives for our guild and it's members, so that we all can be as successful as possible. We definitely will not tolerate PK'ing (PLAYER KILLING) of people for no good reason.
We will only go after those players, if they have done something wrong to one of our guild members. That and if they are in the way of our guild accomplishing one of it's many objectives. We expect all Acolyte members to treat each other in a courteous and respectful manner at all times. People join this guild to help one another, to have fun, and to form long lasting friendships; therefore, it can only be assumed that a friendly attitude is desired towards all fellow guild mates, it's allies and the game itself.
Everyone from around the world are more then welcome to join the ranks of The Acolytes. Currently we have a wide variety of Americans, various other Europeans, Australians, Norwegians, Canadians and even a few Texans in our guild, and our membership is open to everyone who wishes to apply and pass the 10 day trial period. Our first and foremost objective however will be PvP, but all playstyles will be welcome. Roleplay is encouraged, but by no means required.
If you're interested in reading more or applying please visit the Recruitment Section here on our forums: http://www.the-acolytes.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=229
VOIG.com interview with Redruum (Leader) here: http://www.voig.com/voig/ModuleList/...Interview.html
Want to come and chat with us on IRC servers? Then check out how to here http://www.the-acolytes.com/forum/vi...p?f=140&t=4635
You will find step by step guides.
Any questions just post here, PM, visit our forums or pop on IRC for a chat!
We aren't an Elitest Guild, however, we are what you might say 'determined' with a relaxed mindset. We have a great community established ourselves (for over a year now) and play other games together.
Membership & Participation
We are looking for mature players who are willing to join the Acolytes. We want people who love to play MMO's and want to have fun while playing! It will be a requirement to be on our Ventrilo server when the game launches for large scale PvP battles and/or raids.
The Acolytes also require that you have somewhat of a unique name. Names with numbers and phrases will not be allowed, other then that let your imagination run wild for the most part. We encourage our members to be on as much as they can to help progress their character and the guild.
We will have a lot of members that are on a lot, but we realize there are more important things in life then gaming. We want our members to enjoy themselves while they are immersing themselves in AoC.
If our guild can accomplish that, people will want to be around as much as possible. If you feel that you would be a good fit, please finish reading the rest of the required information on our forums and submit your application at the end.
Character Names
As stated at least two places within our documentation, character names are required to respect the likely rules for an RPPvP server. It is a bit early to have the actual rules themselves, but as other MMO RP server rule sets indicate, they are normally pretty much the same. For mere help on deciding on a name click here.
Don't use:
* Common modern names such as Bob
* Names comprised of multiple words (Nounverb, Verbnoun, Adjectivenounverbnoun etc.)
* Mis-spelled yet obvious words
* Names specific to well known historical or modern day celebrities, political, religious figures
* Names that will obviously be offensive to a specific group of people
* Names which are one letter off or very similar to established character names
After you have Applied:
To make your trial period go as smoothly as possible we have listed below some helpful tips.
* Your character's name must be of some type of RP name or your application will be on hold until a more appropriate one is chosen.
* The application itself must be filled out correctly with both the questions and answers, preferably in different colors as this makes it easier to read.
* Sloppy and/or "leet" themed applications will be rejected promptly. The Acolytes pride themselves on maturity and cohesiveness, if you wish to be a part of this group, a well constructed application is necessary.
* If several parts of the application are viewed as substandard then your application will not be processed, please make every effort to present a quality application the first time you submit it.
* The Acolytes believe in team building and mutual respect, well do not tolerate those who bring unnecessary drama and tension within our guild.
* Please try and have your application filled out properly the first time you submit it. Incomplete and/or non profession applications have been and will continue to be rejected by the Recruitment Officer.
Recruitment Process
Every single new recruit must read the required information and then fill out and submit application. One of our Recruitment Officers will find your application and will start your trial period. Also they will upgrade your forum rank to Apprentice. This will allow to you access more forums, but still restrict you from our members area.
Your trial period will last 10 days. During those days our members will read your application. Some of them will post a good luck wish or even want to ask you a question. In the mean time you can browse our forums. You can post questions you might have, show off your knowledge of the game lore, in sort getting familiar with our guild and our members. Also you can socialize with our members on Ventrilo or our IRC Channel. It is highly suggested that an applicant be active in chat, an applicant that posts and isn't seen since is... less than likely to be admitted, we want active members.
During your trial period our Senior Members and Officers will vote yes or no. They will base their vote on any combination of the following factors:
* Overall layout of your Application
* Content of your Application
* Quantity of your Forum Posts
* Quality of your Forum Posts
* How well they got to know you as a person
* Your MMO Experience
This doesn't imply you should flood our forums or present yourself as the founding father of Nilihum, just be yourself. When the number of yes-votes exceeds the number of no-votes after those 10 days, you will be granted membership of the Acolytes
Thank you for your time in reading this post. I know most of you do not know of us for various reasons, but if you wish to ask any questions, please feel free to!
