­­Welcome to the 8th AESOP Recruitment thread!

AESOP is the
Association of Essentially Sane Older Players
.

( Essentially , but not quite, sane.) :P

Founded by Thalliah & Ahma Lyra in February of 2006.

~*~*~*~­­
We are older players leading a clan for the adult & mature player. Physical age is not a basis for membership, altho most of us are indeed adults. Our expectation is that AESOPs of all ages exhibit maturity: to understand & tolerate ordinary things like differing opinions, the zeal of some players, or simply having a bad day, and take such things into consideration when interacting with other AESOPs & players. Family comes to mind when thinking of AESOP; in our 8+ years of existence, not only we have grown into a group with entire families as members, we consider each other to be family.

As a group we offer a less strict, less regimented option for the adult/mature player, with the common goal of making RS a better environment. A lot less structured than many of the groups & clans you will find on RS, AESOP provides a place for people who are hard pressed to squeeze clan responsibilities into the little time they have available to spend on RS. Our intent is to make RuneScape a safer & friendlier place, and put emphasis on the fact that behind every RS player is a real person with real feelings .

A sense of humor is required!

Status: Recruitment is currently CLOSED
Please read the 1st 2 pages here then copy & paste your application on the last page.

If...
you watched the first moon landing on TV...
you owned a black & red leather jacket a la Michael Jackson...
you remember when bikes only had one or three speeds...
the first computer you heard of was so big it had its own building...
...you are probably an OP (older player) & we invite you to join us.

We are a non-warring group that doesn't have a lot of assigned expectations or tasks as we are highly aware that RS is (dare I say it?)... just a game. *gasp*

We try to keep responsibilities to a minimum because we want to ensure (hee hee, Ensure) that the bulk of our time, as well as our members' time, is spent actually playing RS.

If you are a person like us & would enjoy a quick stroll down Memory Lane, check out our thread on the Clan Forum with the You might be an op if..... posts. (Clan forum I.D. 2zpt)

­­~ Younger Players ~­­
We know that there are many of you who are of a more mature frame of mind than others. You may apply for AESOP here, but please understand your level of maturity and ability to be self-sufficient will be the primary terms for acceptance.

­­ - AESOP Member Requirements -

1. Mature attitude.

2. A genuine desire and willingness to help make RS a more positive place for ALL players, regardless of age, level, race or gender.

3. Attendance at a minimum of one event or meeting per month or on-going participation in our clan chat to remain active. (Please drop us a message/pm if possible to let us know you want to remain on the AESOP active list if you are having difficulty meeting the requirements.)

4. You must spend time with us in our clan chat so that we may get to know one another to see if you suit AESOP & AESOP suits you. This trial period is roughly 30 days.

5. Upon completion of your one month trial period you might be asked for an interview before becoming a full AESOP member.

6. You must always adhere to and comply with all of Jagex's rules while playing RuneScape & using the RS Forums. ­­

Please copy, paste, then edit the application below to post in this thread. Our application process may take awhile to assess suitability. If you need more space for your answers, please feel free to make 2 posts. If you have been in AESOP before under a different name, please let us know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IMPORTANT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We want you to spend time in chat with us so that we may get to know one another. This is very important and will determine whether or not you are suitable for AESOP, or if AESOP suits you. You will find our chat rules in the post below this one, please be sure to read them.

Please be mindful of others while you are in AESOP Chat; frequent updates on experience points, general health, etc., may prevent others from utilizing chat, and creates unnecessary frustration. Thanks!

You are most welcome to pop in and visit us any time. We ask that you abide by our cc rules altho speaking/saying hello in chat is not necessary nor required if you just want to sit quietly & get a feel for the place.

AESOP Clan Chat Rules
1. Follow Jagex' rules.
2. No political discussion.
3. No religious discussion.
4. Mild swearing.*(see below)
5. No racism or discrimination of any kind based on race, gender, or partner preferences.
6. Be considerate of your clanmates; let them know when bringing a friend into cc. Introduce your friend & know that you are responsible for your friend's behavior in chat.
7. Display Names that are obviously obnoxious to the majority will not be allowed in AESOP cc. Offenders may be banned from cc until their name returns to something acceptable. Names can be reviewed for suitability by the clan owner at any time. Names that might tend to create confusion between new members & established members may not be allowed. Display Names that are in ALL CAPs are considered rude & are strongly discouraged.
8. Exercise patience. AESOPs tend to be busy players so if your inquiry is not immediately answered, please be patient.
9. Please be considerate of your clanmates when new content such as quests come out. 'aesop event' fc is available for discussions of this type to avoid spoilers in cc.

*Think 'sweet little old lady/gentleman' or 'my pastor/vicar' or the like. If they wouldn't want to hear it coming out of your mouth, don't say it in cc.

Ahma Lyra
Ibun

Jp Page Too

****************************** NOTES ***************************

Multi-clanning:
Our apologies, but we do not typically allow multi-clannin* (grouping). Exceptions are certain minigames/skilling groups; any others will be reviewed and accepted or denied on an individual basis.

Pking:
As a group, AESOP does not participate in pking, nor do we allow the use of our name in any pking activity. There are a few AESOPs that enjoy this aspect of gameplay; we place no restrictions other than the one mentioned above on them. However speaking of your pking conquests in our clan chat is likely to evoke a strong reaction as many AESOPs do not like pkers. The reason for this is that AESOPs do a lot of skilling, and have all encountered pkers while skilling in Wildy.

Alliances:
AESOP is not currently accepting any applications for alliances at this time. However, we may be open to doing some fun type events together. OPEN events are held throughout the week. Please contact Ahma Lyra, Ibun, Mamawolfie, Maid Marian, TwistedChief, Gilathuin, or JP Page Too with your proposition.
