Why does everyone on these forums go out of their ways to sound ridiculously smaht?
Btw, we got off topic, and Deacon Wolf never answered my question about what Golgatha wants in exchange for sponsorship?
How "affiliated" with Golgatha does it's sponsored companies have to be?

First and foremost, Citizens of Golgotha will have the luxury of being the first ones to receive contract offers.
We will balance skill vs. need vs. priority vs. Loyalty.
In addition, the Call to Arms is for individuals interested in Golgotha to take advantage of this opportunity and secure their access to Golgothan Assets and privileges. CCs enrolled during this period will receive priority access to contracts. Individuals will be steered towards CCs with this priority or be offered "jobs" at the federal level. CCs can also apply for Federal sponsorship and be a part of the Golgotha decision making process.

As a representative of interests involving banditry and assassination, or if you prefer, privateering and removal of unwanted nuisances, I respectfully ask for information.
In general, where are your laws leaning towards said activities?
You may answer this question privately in a PM or on TS if you wish.
This is the first time I'm announcing this, but I'll be running a stealther company in PFO. So it's possible that I'd consider being sponsored. On the other hand, I can't promise "safety" to everyone in an entire empire... just business. So if that's part of the deal, I'll have to respectfully refuse.

I hate to be rude, but we intended this program to catch the lurkers that may fall through the gaps. If you post regularly and one of my representatives has yet to contact you or your organization, it stands to reason that you don't meet the standards to be a Golgothan.
Our offer isn't negotiable from that approach anyways. Our offer is to be part of the strongest military force in Pathfinder Online. It is up to you as an individual to find your place among it, or against it.
@Bluddwolf
I believe Scheherazade has contacted you, but in our next TS get together ask any questions you like.
@Qallz
Loyalty
Duty
Respect
Honor
Integrity
Personal Experience
Those are just some of the things we look for in individuals and companies to be Golgothan. Being sponsored is one thing, but we are building something so much more.
I was actually looking for more specific, contractual terms, as opposed to vague principles.

"The Lord Regent needs you!"
Apply now for one of the following positions:
Soldiers (PVP oriented)
Guardsman (PVE/PVP oriented)
Officers (leadership and administration)
Staff (Duty personnel)
Citizens (Everything, enjoy the benefits of being protected by the strongest military in the game)
This ad was provided by the Golgothan Recruitment Program. To become a member of the most organized and professional military in Pathfinder Online please contact one of our officers. Individuals and Organizations may apply.
I do wish to ask. What exactly IS this? Golgotha I mean, and this entire setup. I am definitely interested, and have a Lawful Evil bard somewhere in a drawer, but I'm a bit lost as to what is going on here.
It's basically a guild, but also a settlement, which will have regular citizens, as well as actual "guildies" who will run the city.

Golgotha is a settlement for the members of House Karnath, Maelstrom, and the Bloody Hand.
It is the basic foundation for their settlement.
As PfO will be comprised of guild-like organizations currently referred to as a Company, Companies can elect to establish a Settlement. As territory control is a basic premise of PfO, many people have chosen to lay out their ideas for settlements.
For more information, please visit www.paxgaming.com
Deacon Wulf, Scheherazade, Cyneric, Morbis, or Phyllain would be more than happy to provide you with information.

Golgotha is a LE city state that will be founded my House Karnath, Maelstrom, The Bloody Hand, and any other organizations that may join us down the road. Do you have a specific question for us or did that clear it up?

Yea, I have a question: Who the hell is House Karnath? I've been around for a while and only heard them mentioned once or twice. Who are they?

That covers it. I didn't realize that by Pathfinder Online, it was refering to the project for the MMO. I thought it was something along the lines of Pathfinder Society... online games... if that makes any sense. Thank you for clarifying.

I'll just place this here.
We are still recruiting. Our standards are ever evolving and improving and our steps are taking us forward in interesting and amazing ways. Join Golgotha today and be apart of a lasting legacy as we redefine warfare and dominate our enemies.

If you had any standards you would wait for the game to release in order to be able to assess player skill. Not personal to you, Deacon, just something I've observed with all the existing guilds... they're pretty much all recruiting people they've never seen in this game or any other. Just because you all won't let an obnoxious jerk into the guild like me, doesn't mean you have "standards".

Ummm...... We do play games together now, while waiting for PFO. The members of UNC came to PFO from another game. Same goes for Deacon and his crew, and does Pax Gaming ring any bells??
Don't think you thought before you posted this one, Bro!

You're telling me TEO, T7V, PAX/Golgatha, UNC, etc. have tested the playing skills of EVERYONE they've recruited, and haven't recruited ANYONE who they haven't first tested out in some other equivalent MMORPG?

I only spoke for UNC, and for what I know of Deacon and Pax. Does that mean every single member?
In UNCs case, every officer I have played with.
In PAXs and Golgotha's case, I'll let them speak for themselves, but I k OE the answe already.
In not concerned about TEO or T7V, I'm not affiliated with them.
In UNCs case, every officer I have played with.
Check And Mate.

Standards can imply a lot of things; the only truly useful standard I can see at the moment is a high regard for personal relations and attitude, as they are recruiting people they have to put up with for many years to come.
Though a PvP-centric company might test someone in a different game (which might or might not tell anything about their combat ability in PFO), I don't see anything for a settlement to gain by testing potential applicants and turning away people who can't play some other game well enough. ("I would really like to take you on as a blacksmith for our settlement, but you are a terrible Pally in WoW so I have to decline your application.") Settlements need a lot of people to serve different functions, so I don't know what kind of testing could be done in another game which would prove something meaningful for all applicants.

Well yea, if someone's just going to play as a crafter, there's no reason to test their PvP skill, and if they're testing people in WoW, they're better off not testing them at all.
WoW was just an example; I hope nobody's testing with that. :P
Oh, Mr. Gifford, you do so cheer me up. :-)

The Majority of our member come from other games, or are currently playing games with us as we speak.
We are a multi gaming community. We play games with people.

Really, what did you win? Can you name a single active member of UNC that does not or has not played a game with us?
As is with most companies, we have more members that do not post here or have not even registered with any PFO related forum as of yet. We have friends that are in other games (Eve, MechWarrior Online, AOC, Fallen Earth, etc).
You really do make a lot of assumptions here.

Look, this wasn't anything personal. I was merely pointing out that it might be a good idea to factor PvP skill heavily into any (PvP) guilds recruitment process... that being said, I think it would be better to wait till EE to recruit anyone who you don't know is generally solid in REAL (non-CoD Twitch) PvP.

All good
Qallz. Skills can be taught, trained, and practiced. Our standards are things one cannot learn easily over time. Discipline, integrity, and respect, these are things we look for. We are so much more than a PvP group. We are the the founders of an image. A legacy if you will.
Our standards ensure we are a respected organization. We are extending our arms to those who will embrace this image. Golgotha will need citizens, non combatants, private industries, and administrators in addition to our military. Soldiers can be trained in PvP, quality can be obtained, but maturity and value are hard to build without a solid foundation.

Golgotha is initiating a recruitment drive in order to flesh out the ranks.
We are currently seeking the following:
1) Experienced Logistic Officers
2) Experienced Administrators and Moderators
3) Economist and Logisticians for settlement expansion and organization
Golgotha is always seeking PvP oriented individuals to fill the ranks of our Battalions and Brigades. In addition, Golgotha offers citizenship membership for individuals who wish to enjoy PvE and RP environments.
Charter Companies, no matter the size, and individuals may apply to become integral parts of Golgotha. To join Golgotha or become sponsored, PM any of my officers.

Maybe not the place for this question, and if so I apologize and will delete, but what does Qallz mean when he says *player skill*? Obviously, since I am asking the question, I probably do not have much of it, and I hope this does not see Company doors slammed in my face all over PFO :-)

At the risk of hijacking the definitions... player skill is not really the same as experience. Experience is a great way to learn and improve, but there are also mannerisms that are displayed even by novices that can show how much potential they hold. Such factors include the ability to work as part of a team, following plans and instruction, and ability to react rationally and not panic when things start going wrong. Skillful players know how to work with others around them and know how to keep a cool head. They understand that there may be objective beyond personal kill scores. And they show a willingness to learn how the game works so that when the goal is about kill scores that they can meaningfully add to the effort. Most orgs around here will not judge you based on current ability but on a number of the above factors, viewing your potential as well as current skill.
It was mentioned earlier as speculation, but I will clarify that TEO as a whole does not test player skill as a prerequisite for entry. But that is because TEO has broader aims than pure PvP. There are divisions within TEO that will test for it, however. I know of at least one that will exist for sure.
Now then, back to everyone's favorite Evil Branch of the Pax Community's recruiting thread, Golgotha.

It should also be noted that Player Skill is not a prerequisite for admission into Pax Gaming, which in turn will give you access to Golgotha, Fidelis, and Aeternum depending on your preference.
This is not to say that Pax Gaming will not have events focused on improving player skill, in fact we intend on always work towards improving our skills.
