house age requirements

[Midren]

and the reasons i posted are all things that have happened to me as well (i had a pm about it)

My suggestion is to be present on IRC and TS. Give people a chance to get to know you and make their own evaluation.

yeah thats prob what ill be doin all summer thanks to everyone for arguments, it was nice to be able to debate something (as my schools debate club hasent had a session in 5 months) even if i got 1 or 2 people who were saying i was complaining

Being pretentious isn't maturity. You can't consider yourself as of a much higher year of maturity (in my books)

I joined my first clan, OTD when i was 11, the age limit was 16, almost everyone was 30 with kids.

Only reason I got in was because Rex saw certain traits in me when I randomly joined one of their games in Rome total war, but for an NI house, getting in is a bit different.

If I was still underaged for requirements of VLKA, the first thing that would pop into my mind would be l join teamspeak and talk with the VLKA people and play with them for a week, then I would pm the leader about joining, now by doing that you are more likely to get accepted than just apply on the forums going hey, I'm 11, chances are the person accepting applications won't know who you are and will just see that you're underaged, and the fact that you haven't made any attempt to get to know the house members and leaders.

My intention is not to be pretentious, in no way did i mean to come off that way, however certen things that happen in life will make someone such as myself or as barristen mentioned himself more mature then their own age. i may not be accualy as mature a a 20 year old but i strive to be and i was pushed past the normal maturity of my age from events that are out of my control the best thing i can think to tell you is that i have been told by many people (including devs at bioware) i am much more mature than most kids my age and i act as if i was 18+ a few of them said 20 so i went with that. Whether or not you choose to belive me will be based on my actions in the near future, i dont expect your opinion to change untill i can prove myself so i will be constantly active in TS and IRC untill i prove that my maturity is greater. To Reiderate in my own words what barristen said actions speak louder than words.

One thing that I always got pinged for, and still do sometimes was argueing with people that have more experience mate

[Murrow]

but i woul like to suggest a loophole. members under 16 could have some way to prove their maturity so they may join.

Most of the house applications are general guide lines so that the house knows what to expect from you. However it is their house so if they want to deny you b/c of your age then it is their choice.

My suggestion is to be present on IRC and TS. Give people a chance to get to know you and make their own evaluation.

I would always recommend joining the teamspeak channel of whichever house you are interested before actually applying to them. If they want to stereotype you based on your age without properly getting to know you they're just being ignorant.

Yea, we were at first quite adamantly against Murrow joining us, knowing that he was 79. But then he showed us his heart of gold. And his dentures. Of gold.

It was his flamboyant personality that I found attractive about him.
