New Recruitment Challenge

[Anonymous]

most people who actually get past the last phase wont post the answer just because they have a since of pride that they got it, people who post the answers will post the first and second part because they disgruntled that they cannot get the YOU ARE A PAWN part

[Anonymous]

Yes but some people not intent on joining FA would solve it just cos its there to be solved, or solve it just for the fact to post an answer to the challange. Im sure if the three recent people who have joined had seen the answer somwhere they would tell us.

I think the point of changing the challenge was to slow (not stop) the flow of new members.  It's done it's job.  We can't change it every month...

I think it's good.  

[Anonymous]

Change it every month... what a good idea!

[likwidtek]

hah!  talk it over with tbone.  heh

[Anonymous]

There's another one waiting for the secure transmission now.  I feel far less special now...

[Anonymous]

Are you trying to kill Tbone? Sure changing the challenge would make it much harder to be accepted into the FA but sheesh! Not to mention, people would shun it  and us just at the thought of all the different puzzles they have to solve just to get in.

[Anonymous]

Hmmm, I dont know. I think I would accept being shunned if we kept the 10 year olds out.

Really, if the challenge crumbles (which, btw, the hard part has), we will get a flood of every new person. Hell, even mxo.cummsucker would be able to get in. We have an excellent community, and since I browse the other major clans forums, we have possibly the best members. Would you want our community ruined for 50 members saying "i pwn j00 dood"? I didnt think so. Thats how the actual MxO community will be, unfortunately, and I joined and stayed in this clan due to the fact they we have a lot of cool members. I dont want to be on ventrilo and hear right when I come in "like oh my god, no, you suck [expletive] more than i do!  I had sex with your mom! LOL! HAHAH!"

Wait, isint that an example of yourself,...jk yeah i like our nice little faction the way it is, with no 1337ers.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, this faction really does have gr8 people.

But I think that our most important "gate" to keep out lamers is the application. I mean it asks some quesitons that require *gasp answers in paragraphs! With no 1337 speek!

So far, the flood of people that has joined recently seem pretty cool, but I don't really know them yet.

Perhaps Tbone should start screening the application more carefully?

Personally, I think the only reason I got in was my application...

[Anonymous]

Well no one really knows how closely Tbone examines the apps but I think he has done a great job with them. We do have a great community and we have lots of people who are really cool. Hopefully we'll keep that going long into the game and long after, I for one hope that the Furious Angels become one of the first and oldest guilds in MxO. How about you guys?

[likwidtek]

we used to vote on them in the captains lounge.  What happened to that?

[Tbone]

likwidtek, we would usually vote on the applications that are questionable. If I don't detect a problem then I general just use my own judgement. So far the guys coming in seem to be grade A. If one of them is a spy, they'll be weeded out eventually.

[likwidtek]

I think we have an unussually large amount of new applicants flooding in.  You think people are leaking the challenge?

Who knows, mabye they all figured it out at the same time........ :wink:
