Interested in joining Valor? This page contains some vital information you will need. If you still have any further questions, feel free to contact Damac, Sidd or Discordian ingame or via a PM on the forums.

Availability
Valor has varying degrees of availability for new members, and our needs differ from time to time. Therefore, whether or not your application gets taken into consideration can depend on who and what jobs we have active at the time. As of right now:

Status: Closed, taking applications for future consideration only          

Jobs: All jobs closed.          (Updated: November 1st, 2007)

Being in Valor
Before reading on about how you can go about joining Valor, please review the following:

• Valor members are not to steal, bot, buy gil, and/or use 3rd party programs to cheat.
• Valor members are only allowed to have one endgame shell, which is Valor. No exceptions. We will require that you join us for Dynamis and other similar events as well, so take that into consideration if you have another shell that participates in these activities. However, you may have any number of social linkshells as long as you spend sufficient time with Valor for our events and other activities.
• Valor currently does not have a points system. If you specifically want a linkshell with a points system at this time, Valor might not be for you. Officers decide who ra/ex loot goes to, and non ra/ex items may be:
  1. given out on the spot as with ra/ex loot, or
  2. sent to the linkshell bank for distributing at a later date once officers have decided that certain members have earned this loot or are in need of it.
  3. if it is a valuable crafting ingredient that is needed, it will be sent to the linkshell bank and either given out, or crafted into a usable item for members at later date.
• Valor members must attend mandatory events.
• All events are mandatory unless an officer announces and asks for names of those who wish to participate.
• Items you receive from the linkshell are considered yours as you have earned them, and the choice of returning them because of any circumstances are up to you. However, even though they are considered 'yours', selling linkshell-received items is strongly discouraged. They should be seen as gifts from the linkshell for you to use, symbols of the linkshell's hard work for you, not gil for your pocket.
• Valor uses Ventrilo (voice chat program); however minimal planning goes on in Ventrilo so members who are unable to use the program can still refer to forums or ingame for linkshell planning and issues.
• At endgame events, especially at HNM camps, Valor members are expected to:
  1. Conduct themselves well and be good sports,
  2. Refuse participation in public channels that have the potential to lead to endgame inter-linkshell disputes and leave the speaking to the officers to handle,
  3. Follow instructions efficiently and quickly, and
  4. If they have any disagreement with the instructions being given, to query and clarify with the presiding officers at said event before acting on their own.
• If members have any queries or questions about the linkshell's policies, the bank, their role in the linkshell, etc, they are encouraged to clarify with the officers privately about it.

Probation
All new recruits will be subject to a one month probation period. During this time:

1. Recruits may not lot any items unless it is designated as freelot and are given permission to partake in said lot.
2. Recruits will be closely monitored for attitude, participation and attendance.
3. Recruits may be kicked without warning.

When the one month period is complete, each recruit will be reviewed and a decision will be made for them to be:

1. Removed from the linkshell
2. Put on extended probation
3. Admitted as a full linkshell member

Requirements

• At least 75 on 2 jobs or more.
• Sky access
• Minimum CoP 6+ and with the drive to attain Sea access ASAP
• Preferably Dynamis-Xarcabard access
• Frequent playtimes and high attendance
• Loyalty to the linkshell
• Ability to work with others as a team and also accept constructive criticism
• A sense of humor and a love for fun

We no longer require a sponsor for entry into the linkshell. The Application form can be found here. You do not need to register to send an application.

Cross-server Applicants
If you have transferred from another server, your application must include the following items, placed in the last "Message" box or in the "Previous Linkshells" field in the application:

1. The previous server you were on.
2. Your history of all linkshells on your old server.
3. A referral from someone on your old server, preferably from any of your previous linkshells on that server.
