Author: N7 SQUAD
The N7S Graduation Event is the final phase that a candidate must complete to achieve official N7S Membership in our community. A candidate can be invited to this event by any N7S member. If the candidate accepts, he/she will participate in this challenge with existing N7S members, who will join to assist and evaluate the candidate's skill in-game. The candidate may choose a squad to run a graduation event with. Only one game is required to graduate, but if the candidate graduates in both ME3 and MEA, they are rewarded with community achievement @N7 Pathfinder in our Discord Server. We invite our graduates to add the -N7S tag to their usernames/gamertags -- anyone that wears the -N7S tag acts as a symbol of our community.
Player skill is the last requirement; we are looking first and foremost for friendly, non-toxic, non-elitist players who enjoy Mass Effect as much as we do, and who are active enough to spark our attention. However, skill and game knowledge are also important aspects, so that players may lean on us when they wish to learn more and become better players themselves. To learn more about N7S Rank click here.
Those who became N7S members before this event was created have been grandfathered-in. If they choose to, they may complete the Graduation Event to add their graduation to the table below.
All players who wish to acquire official N7S Membership and are not using the PC or Xbox platforms may earn that membership through the Grandfathered method, i.e. they must complete any 3 N7S Challenges marked with the N7 Squad logo click here, with anybody they want.
MASS EFFECT 3 GRADUATION
This is a vanilla event, the only allowed mods are:

Any texture/graphical mods that don't change the game mechanics.
Rules for everyone in the Squad:
-
Play a different character from your squad members. Play a different character between the rounds.
-

This is a starting round to honor the old way of becoming N7S. This is how the very first N7S members came to be: Platinum difficulty for us, at the time, was considered something way above our skill level. The only reason we dared to push for it is that we had each other. The key to success is teamwork. Allowing your fellow players to lean on you until they are ready to stand on their own. This is the key to building a relationship between players and skill in any game as well as life itself. Know that the reason we invited you to N7S Graduation is that we recognized these traits within you, and we would be honored if you would officially mark your entry to N7S Membership.
Heart and Soul
ROUND 1
There is no greater gift to us, than when someone accepts our invitation and goes through this Graduation event. In this round, we play by your rules, by the requirements you set for us. This graduation was not designed to test you alone, but also your fellow N7S. Thus, if we expect you to play what we have in store for you, it is only fair that we play whatever you cook up. To meet you halfway and to congratulate you for coming this far, feel free to be as creative as you wish. It will be a good challenge to keep us in shape, to remind us that we also have to know a wide range of the game's aspects. With you at our side, we also improve our skills, coordination, strategies, and more. Thank you.
GIFT and CREATIVITY
ROUND 2
Should you choose to wear -N7S tag in your name you represent our community in public. And while the skill of the game is the last item on this list, it is something that players in public games will notice first. Together, we inspire others into getting better at the Mass Effect games. When they see an N7S in a public lobby they will know they can count on you and that you will do what you can to enrich their Mass Effect multiplayer experience. In this Round, we mark the game with the most difficult enemy, the hardest map, and the characters that symbolize N7. And with it, we welcome you among us.
