' Wrote:I think that's hardly a huge investment in time considering how it might be beneficial for you in the long run. Considering the amount of time other people spend Roleplaying on the forums, a 30 minute faction application is nothing.
USI have a set of standards, and those standards are likely enforced when they examine players' recruitment applications. I would encourage most people who can RP seriously and want to join a lawful trading faction to join USI. That, or I'd tell them to join Ageira! (points to sig)
Seriously? I like to RP, don't get me wrong. Heck if there was a LARP close by, i would prolly invest my time in that as well. But taking 30+ minutes just to fill out the App? I understand most apps asking me all kinda questions, no probs, that adds to the RP especially when they want info about you and your ethos so to speak. But taking that long just to fill out an app, and it's not even your talking to peeps, your just taking a server rules test and what not? Yea I disagree. Ask about thier Ethos and thier background, and then Actually talk to them, I would think that's the best way to "feel" a new prospect out. Having them spend 30+ minutes on forms and what not, and they don't even know if your Faction is even active?
I understand you wantin to weed out the lolwuts, but that amount of dedication. . . especially just trying to see if you and that faction will be a nice fit, I'm sorry forms just don't cut it. You have to fly with them for a bit and see if what they say is what they do.
