Illuminati Takes a Nose Dive - Survivors Headed Here

[Anonymous]

I beat your mom with a pine needle last night, so step off biyatch.

Here is an Idea.. kinda combining alot of ideas... perhaps give them the bypass for the interview... if we like them.. we mesh well.. and what not... let them pass... if it is too difficult to get a read.. or perhaps just not really sure about them.. ask them to complete the challenge.. if they are willing then that will show us their type of character...kindof a backwards process... perhaps that would work better for them.. and if we let anyone bypass the challenge put them on an extended "orientation" to two weeks...

It's not a matter of needing more man power. We don't. It's a matter of helping out some friends in need. For the most part, the Illuminati has always been friendly with us, aiding us in-game. A lot of these guys are used to working alongside us to begin with, so under these special circumstances, I can rationalize bypassing the challenge. The reason these three are leaving the Illuminati to begin with is that the faction is no longer "hardcore" enough for them. That has to say something about the kind of gamers they are.

Very true, that makes sense Tbone, i still like the idea of doing a redpill extraction sorta thing........ i dunno but some excersize in roleplaying would be fun! But as for them getting in, i dont see a problem, if *I* was allowed in, people from the illuminati should get in no trouble at all xD

fwiw I've chatted with Blue before and he's pretty solid RP, he's actually a pretty nice guy from what I could tell

Short version:
Pass them.

Long Version:
Tonight both of them, and myself ran into a masked black dressed lady at Mara. =) Some words were exchanged between me and the masked miss, and Blue and Ade overheard and started asking questions. After Kritical killed us off, they contacted me to arrange a meeting. They wanted to know details of what they had heard. I RPed with some guidance and precautions, and they seemed to really get into it. I later grouped with them a bit for some missions and asked them a bit about thier intentions with FA and past and current situation with Illuminati. They bascily told me that they have been very interested int eh way FA operates and gets things done. They told me they respected FA and a bunch of other stuff we'd expect to hear from people wanting in. I think I keep things in perspective that everyone knows we like to hear "i love FA, I respect FA, you guys are great blah blah", but these guys showed some commitment to seek out info about a situation they knew nothing about. I also talked with them in Illumin's TS serv and despite not being able to hear them very well, they seemed very kind and dedicated. Sometimes they had acted kinda like "OMG FA is here /bow..... must-speak-proper!" which isn't a problem, it's a sign they want to impress-they care. I don't really care for al lthat jazz much, but I did enjoy BSing with them like we do in TS. I say pass em to the interview and let us drill them there.

I have had a chance to mission w/ Blue last night and he was around when a Merv kept challenging me to fight, he watched my back even though he could not do anything but warn me if someone was going to interfear. That showed what kind of team member he would be. I have not worked w/ the other two, but i don't see a problem w/ letting them pass to the interview and see how that goes. I am also in agreement that due to the situation the trial period should be longer(2 weeks).

the only one of these guys I'm familiar with is haelios, and he seems kind of nutty

Nutty??? I resent that!!

Jk. I know Blue and Ademaro pretty well, and I know they both really want to join FA. Blue's been after the challenges for at least two months now. Ademaro tried to join before, but he was declined after his interview. He worked on the challenges everyday after school until late at night for several weeks.

Ademaro may be a little "dull", but there's no doubting his dedication.
