5. What other sites do you visit to obtain information on Star Wars Galaxies, and how frequently do you visit these sites?

6. Explain why Avian is the right PA for you. How do we meet your needs?
You meet my needs on a number of levels…
You have a fantastic Charter! The first paragraph blew me away! I was an allegiance leader for a large group in another MMORPG, and that is exactly what I would share with my members. You want to see your members happy and you want to help them work it out when they’re not. But if those fail, you want them to understand that it’s a game, and games are meant to be fun, and the last thing you want is for them to resent having to log in to play, especially if it’s a game you pay for. It is just refreshing to see others who share a similar philosophy!
You’re organized! You have had a lot of time to develop your group and your goals. Everything is very well laid out and understandable. I enjoy groups that have a good foundation and good short-term and long-term goals in mind.
You’re primarily businessmen! This aspect of the game is what I love, and I was hoping to find a similar group!
7. Please describe how your character will earn a 'living' in SWG, what can you contribute to Avian, and in particular what skills or profession will you be focusing on?
I earn a living in game by building and selling items to others in game, such as houses and furniture. I will be focusing on building structures, furniture, and clothing. I most recently opened a shop up the hill from your PA Hall, and hope to develop that business further.
8. Avian desires to remain a neutral PA, and as such will avoid many forms of PvP combat. If you have chosen to take on a combat oriented character, describe how you will fit in to a mainly non-combat PA. What services will you provide to Avian members and how do you wish to be rewarded for your services?
I haven’t chosen a combat oriented character. I prefer to engage in combat for purpose of harvesting resources to build/construct. I do enjoy a good social group hunt as well. I would like to provide merchant services to Avian members as well as the other players on Chilastra. As I have told other people I do business with, I prefer making acquaintances and developing a strong customer base that can help with build on my experience, which in turn allows me to provide more to my community, rather than just being out for a straight profit. I have encouraged others to bring me the resources and I will make items at no cost to them. This is, of course, takes a lot of trust, and that is the type of relationship I am trying to establish.
9. What are your long and short-term goals?
My short-term goals? Learning and Experience! My long-term goals? Meeting some new folks and becoming a better Merchant with the ability to teach others.
10. Please Take a moment to tell how you found Avian.
Howdy neighbors! *waves* I have a house on the other side of the inlet where you have started developing. I happened by the PA Hall (more like ran into it!) on 7/4 and had the opportunity to speak with Iain. He was very helpful and pointed me in the direction of your (temp) website. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read so far, and those I have already met in game.
11. Why have you chosen Avian over other PAs you have considered or previously belonged to and which PAs were they?
I have not been considering or previously belonged to another PA. When I started SWG, I had in mind that I wanted to find a PA that met my goals and shared similar philosophies. I really feel as though I’ve found that with Avian. I don’t see any reason to shop around… no pun intended.
12. What would you change and/or add to the Charter? Why?
I have had the opportunity to read the Charter in full. I don’t see anything I would want to change or add at this time. Perhaps with further involvement with the PA and as the group grows and develops, there will be more educated room for me, or anyone, to provide constructive suggestions.
<~~ Okay, these are spiffy!
