RID Academy
Graduation Requirements
Necessary Requirements
1) Post on RS forums - Post your EaW in-game multiplayer name in the appropriate thread of the RID section of the RS forums. You need to create an account on the forums to be able to do that. Consider that you may now use the tag RS_ before your name (eg. RS_DaLe). Feel more than free to create a RS_Name and post your (new) in-game name then.
2) Xfire - Download (for free) Xfire at www.xfire.com and add Joak Drysso to your friends list. His Xfire ID is joakdrysso . Xfire is an Instant Message programe that is focused on online gamers. It will come very in handy to get matches arranged. Xfire IDs of other RID members can be found in the appropriate thread on the RID forum.
3) MP match with RID member - Play at least one multiplayer match with another RID member. To arrange a match use Xfire or go to the IRC channel #RID. Take a screenshot during that match and send DaLe that screenshot.
A good programe to take screenshots in game is Fraps. You can download it (for free) at www.fraps.com .
Optional Requirements
4) Ecliptical Realms - To be able to participate in inter-club events you will need to sign up for the RS on Ecliptical Realms (ER). Go to www.eclipticalrealms.com and create an account. After you have your account click on 'Join Club' on the left bar and signup for Empire at War and for the Rebel Squadrons. After your request has been approved you will be able to fight side by side with other RS members in events hosted by ER.
Note: The name you will be using on Ecliptical Realms needs to be the same as your in-game name.
5) ITOD Mission - Play the current ITOD mission and send a screenshot of the destroyed base to Joak Drysson and DaLe. The ITOD missions can't currently be downloaded, so you need to send Joak Drysso a request for the mission (in case he hasn't sent it to you already).
A Cadet who complete's all necessary requirements will be awarded Cadet with Honors. A Cadet who complete's all necessary and optional requirements will be awarded Master Cadet with Honors. Note: Master Cadet with Honors may not be awarded if you take a lengthy period of time to complete their all the requirements.
As soon you have at least the necessary requirements completed send an email to Joak Drysso, so you can graduate and be placed in a main Task Force (Joak Drysso's and DaLe's email can be found in their profiles).
