Applicants: Please Read!

[Maiev]

At this stage, we are only looking for good candidates. Feel free to post an application, and thank you for considering DuckHUNT.

No Group Applications, please! Assume it’s declined if you post one.

Please take your time to read through the stuff below.

What is DuckHUNT?

We are the most annoying Nintendo game that was ever created! J/k

DuckHUNT is a linkshell that values both freedom and "doing fun things" from time to time. We roughly only have 10 hours of events so rest of it is free time. Ducks concentrate on events that members like to do.

Regarding HNM:

We have stopped camping HNM for the time being. It is an EXTRA event. It is not tracked as a DH main event, and members caught skipping our main events in favor of HNM are penalized. With respect to this, if you are applying ONLY for HNM, kindly apply to a real HNMLS.

Fun stuff we've done so far: Kirin Zerg, Bahamut, KS99, Sea, Jailers, JoL, Wyrms, Einherjar, all Limbus and bosses, pop NM's, Ballista...

Just remember, we were formed from two Social Linkshells.

What kind of events?

[Events that we currently run]

• Mandatory: Einherjar (2 times per week)
• Mandatory: ZNM/VNM

What do we expect from you?

• A good attitude towards attending events. Since we use a point system, we encourage people to attend because its a nice time to get together, use your hard-earned merits and test it against mobs? xD
• Decently equipped with notable merits for the job you are applying with <--Added
• No Whitegate shouters! Conversations in /sh or /s are annoying and we're all adults, so let's act like it too. Please be mindful of what you say in /sh or /s at all times. When wearing a DH pearl you are acting as an ambassador of our ls. Please respect the reputation we've built and established within our community.

This was added to ensure you are bringing your best to our ls. We’re only looking for good candidates. Good applicants include someone who has any combination of BLM, WHM, BRD, RDM, or SCH, and a fully merited/geared DD or Tank job. When asked to change jobs we expect you to do so without complaint, as we are only asking you to change in the best interests of the ls, and to make the events work.

* Note: A minimum of 50% attendance is required during trial * A 1 month trial is issued to new members. If you've passed you're trial and you fall below attending 25% of our events in a month you are no longer active and cannot lot on gear until you are Active again, keep this in mind.

What jobs are you looking for?

Current openings: All jobs

How is loot sorted?

We use a point system (50 DKP MINUS!). Most items that drop as a result of linkshell event have price tags on them. We understand that loot can cause huge conflicts, therefore we hope to minimize that conflict with a point system.

Everything is earned in this linkshell, if its in your inventory, it’s yours to keep. No linkshell loot kinda stuff. We do have a bank for einherjar funds, since items dropped from wins can actually make Einherjar self-sustainable.

Einherjar loot/equipment is sorted via a closed-bidding system with points earned from farming / attending events. We use a 2minute Proxy Bidding System, similar to Ebay's system.

DuckHUNT strives to do things in an open, fair and transparent manner. Everything you do in this linkshell is all accounted for! We make every bit of your effort count.
