As I've seen many times, people tend to ignore the new application form, and instead copy from a previous applicant. The reason why I do not want to provide any example applications, is because the form is written to ensure that the applicant has adequate reading comprehension skills, as well as being able to solve basic problems. While the Hall of Broken Glass is easily accessible, there are very few people that would take the time to familiarize themselves with the clan by lurking on our forums before applying. (Anyone that does this deserves to have an "unfair" advantage, in my opinion.)

In an alternate universe, I did not return from my absence since late March.

=== Basic information

--- Your Skype account (which will be added to the clan Skype group): sorr0w107

--- List your alternate accounts: Too many to list here. My current account was previously named "de4th".

--- List your previous clan(s): Numerous unofficial clans, and one official clan. I was in RIP and (the first) Alliance, where I met most of the members here. I had also been in Evil, though I left, as I had been inactive for quite some time.

--- Your in-game/forum/Skype activity (specific hours in a day), and your time zone: My in-game activity is limited. I am usually lurking the forums, and I rarely post outside of clan threads. I am almost always available on Skype, and unless I've given notice, am able to reply to any matters of urgency within 12 hours of receiving the message. My time zone is UTC-05:00 (or UTC-04:00, after DST correction).


Questions
Provide all answers beside the greater-than symbol provided.

=== I. Rationale
Answer as completely as possible, in a paragraph for each:

--- Who are you?
>I am myself; an individual of no particular significance. I presume that this question is meant to prompt the applicant to express how they'd wish to be perceived. I have no such false identity to force upon you; I would prefer to be judged by my behaviour and actions, rather than by my own delusions of whom I ought to be.

--- Why do you want to join this particular clan, as opposed to another clan?
>I had taken an interest in Alliance, the previous incarnation of this clan, from the interactions that I had with the members in-game. After skimming through the clan thread, I saw that while the discussion was fueled by a veritable force of chaos, the members, as a whole, were reasonable people. Unfortunately, after joining Alliance, I had personal matters to attend to. I returned to Toribash, to find that Alliance had become Oblivion, and was made official. I want to join this clan, over all other possible choices, because no other clan has held my interest.

--- How might you contribute to Oblivion, and, in addition, how might the clan be beneficial to you?
>Admittedly, I have little to contribute, as the clan appears to be well-managed. I, however, would benefit from Oblivion, as I rarely participate in online communities. From what I've gathered, extended periods of isolation can have a negative effect on one's psyche. I am attempting to address this issue.

--- What experiences have you had with the game and/or the Toribash forum community?
>I have had limited experience with the forums. Since February of 2009, I've played Toribash infrequently, focusing mainly on Twinsword, and Wushu (the former is my most proficient mod, while the latter is more of an unsuccessful experiment).

=== II. Temperament
Answer as you see fit:

--- Which two Magic: The Gathering colours best describe your personality? You can either take this quiz, or give your own answer.
>Blue and Black. I strongly value rationality and individually, above all other traits. I am particularly disapproving of oppressive individuals who claim to be morally superior, as well as those that allow their instincts/emotions to overwhelm their capability for reasoning.

--- What is the meaning and/or purpose of life?
>The goal of an individual organism is to survive, reproduce, and, I suppose, seek pleasure, at the expense of all others, save for their pair-bonded partner, their offspring, and others within their immediate circle of concern (for most humans: family and close friends). Concern for others is not always applicable.

--- If you were in a room with your closest friend and favourite family member, and the only way out is for one of you to die, who would you kill? You, your friend, or your family member? If you do not make a decision, you will all die due to asphyxiation.
>I am not able to provide an adequate answer, as I have no close connections with friends or any member of my family.

--- What is "love"?
>A result of natural selection; an instinctual, strong feeling of attachment and affection towards:
1. a (potential) sexual partner
2. an individual which is biologically related to oneself
3. an individual with which one has developed a non-sexual emotional connection
Any or all of the above may overlap, if they would to apply to the same individual.

Alternatively, it may describe general compassion towards an animate object, or a preference for certain inanimate objects.

--- Are you prepared and willing to have eggs implanted into your sternum?
>Probably not, as I have not planned for such an event.

=== III. Aptitude

--- Attach your best replay(s). Both single-player and multiplayer replays are acceptable.

--- You may include art or any other works that you've made, be they Toribash-related or not.
>You've seen the scope of my artistic (non)ability.

=== IV. Perception
Answer to the best of your ability:

--- Describe, and/or name each group of colours shown:
i.
>The tertiary colours of the RGB/CMY colour system. Clockwise, from the top-left: orange, chartreuse, spring green, azure, violet, rose.
ii.
>The tertiary colours of the RYB colour system. Clockwise, from the top-left: vermillion, amber, chartreuse, viridian, violet, magenta.

--- Provide the hexadecimal colour code for this font colour >As visible from the quoted post, it is #E6E6E6.

=== V. Anything else you want to say?
>No.
