Ominous Presence / OPUK

BACKGROUND

Ominous Presence is an English speaking Organisation, focused on maintaining a close-knit community over size and expansion. All our members are on the same page, create tight bonds, and good friendships. This is the type of foundation that the success of OP will be built upon. As such, being selected for a permanent position in OP is something that is hard to gain, but also hard to lose once you’re in.

We have a concrete amount of ability, skills and assets to share with our new members. So, whether you’re new or a veteran player, there’s a potential position for you. Just because you’re a good player doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a good OP candidate either. A brand-new player has just as much influence on an application as a seasoned one. As previously mentioned, our main effort is the environment we build in which our community can thrive upon, your attitude will be your key.

Before you start thinking this all sounds a bit too serious, that’s exactly the type of thing we’re actually trying to avoid. There will be elements of organisation, rules, boundaries, etc, but that’s purely for administrative purposes and the benefit of the Organisation as a whole. Our main ethos is to have fun and enjoy the game. Fun will always underpin any decision we make and action we take. There is absolutely zero role playing, MilSim or any other derivative.

Recruitment is open to all locations around the globe and actively welcome members from all time zones, our only restriction being that you can communicate in English effectively.

REQUIREMENTS

A snapshot of the type of person we’re looking for:

Doesn’t take the game too seriously – That doesn’t mean won’t put the effort in to achieve goals, but does mean someone that can take a joke, and puts fun as the primary focus even when taking on serious tasks.

Willing to help new players – Star Citizen has a steep leaning curve, we actively seek to help new players engage with the games core mechanics. In the same respect, also be willing to help themselves and show initiative, not just relying on the more experienced members to spoon feed them.*

Active on voice comms – This is essential to creating the bonds needed for our close-knit community.

Be inclusive of everyone of all backgrounds – There will never be room for small minded trains of thought in OP. That being said, there’s no preferential treatment either.

A robust sense of humour! – Please see the works of Frankie Boyle and Bill Burr for guidance. Due to the nature of the adult environment, we have restricted members to 18+ in order to protect young people.

If it’s a game loop, we’ve done it, still do it and excel at it.

We expect every one of us to support the other both inside and outside of the game where possible. Real life will always come first, yet we will always be there should you need to escape it.

We are the reason you think you’re being watched, we are that feeling you get when surrounded by dark, we are that shadowy figure you see in the distance, we are Ominous Presence.

Are you ready to show your presence?

Discord – https://discord.gg/opuk

1. All applicants are to have applied on the RSI website. Additionally set Ominous Presence as their “Main Organisation” once accepted. – Affiliates are no longer being accepted, (A “Guest” role is available on the discord, which is limited to one channel)

2. All members will maintain their Discord server profile name with that of their in game handle. – Right click your name in this server and hit “Edit Server Profile” to achieve this.

3. Use Discord for all Ominous Presence activity. – The use of your own personal Discord server is fine. However, please try not to detract from the overall presence of our community by doing so. It is important that people use this community in order for it to succeed. For instance, playing with friends not on in OP is acceptable. A group of OP members using a different Discord and segregating themselves from the community is not.

4. We welcome new players and actively seek to guide them in the verse. – However understand that this is a way for us to relax and have fun too. We encourage self sufficiency and proactive behavior when it comes to problem solving. Help will always be given, but you need to put the effort in yourself too.

5. Do invite each other to play different games and promote the community. – Star Citizen can burn us all out from time to time. That doesn’t mean Ominous Presence has to go along with it. Please maintain this community and feel free to play other games together. There is a public area on the Discord open to any and all, for any game you wish.
