God's Wizzard, you are welcome to move into the OH. How that happens is pretty simple. The first think you'll need to do in order to qualify if to raise your XP credit some. The FC has a quota of 6 million XP added per week. The OH has a quota of 12 million XP added per week. Before anyone is allowed to join the OH they have to be 1) in one of the other chains for at least 21 days, and 2) have a Credit balance of at least 18 million (that's the 6 million per week difference between the FC and the OH times the 3 weeks in the chain). You will need to raise your quota credit balance to at least 18 million. The reason for the waiting period and the minimum XP balance is to show if people are willing and capable of hunting enough to maintain quota in the OH. While I'm sure that's not a problem for you to meet quota, we do need to apply the rules to everyone.
As far as placement goes, everyone goes to the bottom when they enter the OH. One of the goals in the OH is to get everyone's loyalty bonus maxed and to never break it. It takes 240 hours of ingame time sworn to the same patron, so it takes a while build up. The loyalty bonus DOUBLES whatever your buffed loyalty skill is when calculating XP passup so it's a big thing to maintain. The only way I could put you above Cult is if you convince him to quit the OH and then he rejoins right after you join in. You can talk to him about that, but I'm not sure what his answer will be.
Speaking of credit balances, H a v o k and Spoonerii, when I posted the orders to start your move to the OH your credit balances were fine. If you aren't maintaining a credit balance of at least 18 million while you're in the FC it means you would be failing quota once you're in the OH. If you can, please work on raising your credit balance back up to at least the 18 million. You were good when I posted the orders, so everything is still a go; however, as soon as I put you into the OH and it recalculates your quota you will show as failing unless you have that 18 million ready when you first join.
Short version: Go ahead and swear around H a v o k and Spoonerii ASAP and, God's Wizzard, we can move you to the OH as soon as you're ready. If you haven't alread done so, please go post your intention to move in the OH application thread announcement.
Thanks to all
