Academy Application

Introduction

Like all things in life, there are requirements to be a part of Academia Venatorum CLXXV. To join this academy, you must CHOOSE to meet those requirements. Everybody in this space makes the same choice, the same commitment, to the academy, to the server, and to each other.

Academia Ventorum CLXXV is Latin.

It means “Academy of Hunters on 175”

Begin Application

Attendance

This academy is for cadets who are serious about Last Z and want to earn a place in one of the top alliances. It’s not intended to be a safe haven for casual players who prefer to socialize and farm. Everybody is expected to log in daily*, participate in alliance events like Canyon Clash, put up respectable numbers in VS, and show up for server events like State Ruler.

* We understand sometimes life happens, people get sick, families go on vacation etc. All that is fine; it’s chronic absenteeism that’s unacceptable.

I agree and am committed. I don’t agree and want to leave.

Code of Conduct

Sportsmanship is the name of the game. Cadets agree to behave respectfully toward all other players of the game, in any alliance, on any server, at all times. This includes showing humility in victory and grace in defeat.

Bullying, harassment, expressions of bigotry or hate, and any other form of abusive behavior is entirely unacceptable.

I agree to behave respectfully at all times. I’ll act however I want, whenever I want.

Communications

All cadets agree to read every notice, every alliance email, every private message from leadership, and to turn on phone notifications so that important communications are announced.

Cadets also agree to maintain an active presence in the alliance chat room, vote in polls, and stay active and involved. 

* Downloading, installing, and monitoring all out-of-game alliance tools (like Discord or Facebook) are also required.

I agree to follow all communications. No. It’s just a game and I can’t be bothered.

Mindset

All players must adopt an educational mindset. In this academy, all are students and all are teachers. We’re expected to respectfully mentor others when we have knowledge or wisdom to share, and to attentively listen and learn when somebody is advising us.

If you’re not interested in learning and improving this is not the place for you.

I work with and for my fellow cadets. This is nonsense. I don’t need anybody’s help.

Enemy Buster

Being shielded during Enemy Buster is required for all cadets for the entire 24 hour period.

There are only two exceptions to this:
1) you are actively hunting on another server to earn points, or
2) you are fighting in the mud during State Ruler. 

You are not required to be active for Enemy Buster; but you are required to be shielded.

I’ll always have shields ready go. Nope. When I’m offline, I’m offline.

State Ruler

Being present at the Capital during State Ruler is required for all cadets. If you are Level 27 or above, at your option, you may choose to fight for points in the Mud Area or remain safe in the Grass Area. If you are 26 or below, or will not be active during the event, you must teleport to the Grass Area. All players in the Grass Area must be shielded. 

You are not required to be active for the event; but your headquarters is required to be at the Capital.

I always fight for 175! Saturdays are for resting.

Camaraderie

All cadets must abide by a philosophy of taking care of each other. Caring means:
  • waiting by a treasure for others to arrive so they can get rewards.
  • using a Mastery Shield to protect somebody during an attack.
  • participating in discussions to help a friend in need.
  • giving freely without being asked to provide.
  • and more… There are many ways to take care of each other.

If you can’t will yourself care about others, both in this academy and about the server as a whole, then I recommend reevaluating your gaming choices.

I stand with my people in all ways. Those who don’t reinforce deserve nothing.

No Drama

We have a very strict no-drama policy.

Cadets who disrupt the harmony of this academy by arguing in Alliance Chat, by trolling other players, or by creating cliques/factions that damage unit cohesion, will be dismissed. 

Reinforcing the fact that this policy is very strict.

I will cause no disruptions and will stop any I witness. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of my kitchen.

Ranks

To join this academy, you must meet the following:
  • R4/5: Academy Leadership
  • R3: Instructors, Mentors, and Senior Cadets (Level 27+)
  • R2: Junior Cadets (Level 18-26)
  • R1: On Probation

We like things to be clear and simple.

I understand the rank structure. This is nonsense. I’m always the Alpha!

Graduation

By joining, you agree that you may not remain in this academy as a cadet once you have attained all of the following minimum achievements:
  • Headquarters Level: 27
  • Structure Power: 55M
  • Tech Power: 15M
  • Alliance Recognition: 100%
  • Hero Power: 40M
  • Mod Vehicle Power: 6.5M

You also agree to join an alliance according to an agreed rotation rather than personal selection.

I will stay until I meet my minimums, and I will leave after. When a real alliance recruits me, I’m outta here!
