What nation are you applying for? Ambassador to Oren

Do you have any past encounters with this nation? If so explain: I have visited a few times, and have talked with residents and guards about the city while I was on business for High Prince Native.

Why are you applying for this nation?

I am applying to this nation, not only to learn about the Human culture and make many allies, but I also want to improve human-elf relations and to create a better, stronger bond and better unity between the elves and the humans.

Why do you want to become a Diplomat?

I want to become a diplomat because I have a strong interest in politics. I love learning more about cultures and about the inner-workings of governments. I have strong linguistic skills, and I am passionate about making Aegis a safer, better, friendlier, and more personal place.

What does being a Diplomat mean to you?

To me, a diplomat means being strong in your (and your nation's) beliefs, as well as working your hardest to achieve end goals that are far bigger than what is able to be seen. To me a diplomat cares for his people, and is passionate enough to represent his Nation to the fellow Nations of Aegis.

If you were to recieve the position go through a sample day of your duties:

Well, first I would probably check in with the High Diplomat to first see what it is that is needed to be done immediately. Then, after that I would go into the far reaches of Malinor to find out the most current, up to date information about the "going-ons" of our Nation. I would look for any Princes or Princesses who may need my assistance or may be in need of me to travel to Oren on important business. After that I would most likely travel to Oren (regardless of being on business for a Prince/Princess [i would just get there faster if I were helping them]) and talk to any diplomats, guards, or any kind of high-ranking official who can tell me about the current state of Oren. I'd finish off my daily duties by talking to these officials and bringing Malinor's opinions to the table, and working out any issues we may have together.

How long have you been playing LoTC?

3 weeks-a month

How much time do you have a week to play LoTC?

I can essentially play any time, any day, although with college starting in 11 days it'll probably be mon-sun 7pm-3am EST (GMT -5:00)

What nation are you applying for? Krugmar

Do you have any past encounters with this nation? If so explain: I went on an official diplomatic mission to Krugmar with Princess Indelwehn and Felore Nightstalker, a warden. We were shown the fortifications by a warlord, and given a tour of the prison. Our visit ended in an military agreement that the elves would support the orcs when they were attacked. Latter that day, the undead attacked the orc capital, and the elves showed up to the battle very quickly, helping the orcs hold off the undead. Also, I was questioned during a murder case in Sanhar, and my testimony led to the capture of the culprit.

Why are you applying for this nation? I am interested in the orcs, partly because of several books I have read on them. I also want to understand their honor code, which is only vaguely mentioned in my readings. Also, the orcs are in it bad right now, so I would like to help them and make getting aid from the elves easier.

Why do you want to become a Diplomat? I have always wanted an official position, and this is an opportunity for me. I am very well spoken and clear headed, and good at resolving arguments. I want to be able to help people, and this seems the best way short of joining the wardens.

What does being a Diplomat mean to you? Being a diplomat is like being the voice calm and reason in a room full of hotheads. You can diffuse conflicts before they start, and you can solve disputes fairly and without unneeded violence.

If you were to receive the position go through a sample day of your duties: I would check in with the head diplomat, to see if he/ she had any jobs for me. The I would visit Krugmar, checking things out and listening to conversations. If I had a job, I would look for the person I needed to talk to and ask around for him or her. I would then talk to the person, convincing them what I was presenting was best for Krugmar and Malinor. I would then return to Laurelin with a report, and submit it to the box.

How long have you been playing LoTC? 1 and a half months, give or take a week.

How much time do you have a week to play LoTC? 10-15 hours

If you should need a Druid for any reason, let me know. I shall send one of our Dedicants, or if necessary, myself for any diplomatic missions.
