Seals... *facepalm*
This guy isn't yet ready. Let him hang around you for a week, and see what he can do. Then you'll be able to be sure if he's able or not. imo he needs to change his "game attitude" (erease every thought or need to do copycats, tripods, being stiff cause he's scared, not dancing or comebacking when disconnected from his enemy, etc). And then your "seals" will be something worth any respect, guys.
I'm affraid some people, *cough* like schecz *cough* will give their "seals" to be friendly, to get out of somebody's way, cause they got used to not mess with people for relatively small reasons (or just won't deny somebody's application if he wasn't bad to them personally, on a "emotional" level), and got used to make friends at sight, if somebody doesn't try to be hostile from the very start.
They are not much really into strict, but fair, assessments in such cases. And this is a medical fact about some, that's why I never would leave judging on who's in who's not, to every single person in the clan on a three-such-a-poor-yesses are-a-final-score basis. They could advise, and point out things, as different people usually pay attention to different things. But as I said, not everybody can do or see the same. Possibly the best recruiter is someone who doesn't care if he's liked or not, and is very perceptive PLUS is also an awesome player. Some people are good judges, some are more "friendly" and thus less into "judging" people, right? And by not liking it, and not getting used to it, they are worse at doing it right too ;P...
Being strict and trying to make a right final answer, even though it sometimes means saying "hell no" to people who are really nice, pleasant, and ask oh so nicelly, and speak so nicely of you, isn't in everybody's nerves, in the "mental power" to do it. Especially all the time. But eh, maldi does it this way, so... yea. We'll see how it evolves. Some things make me want to go back on my place and set it "right";p, but eh maybe my "right" isn't the only "right" around. We'll see how it evolves, and THEN I'll speak...
That's just what I wanted to say. Consider it a real advise, and if that matters at all, I'm not going to give you a "seal of approval"... now. You're good but oh no-too good, as much as your actual game behavior comes into consideration. My "judgement"? : Hang around RA and EARN their respect, instead of just asking for it, and getting it as it has some "nice" people who whether long for more friends, or are just to nice to say "wait" in case of an unsure application, which you, unfortunatelly are (which I don't think was your intention to get into RA this way anyway, but hey, I'm affraid it might actually happen if things are this way as they are now ;P). But I think you can change relatively easily, just take a few more days to figure out what clan are you actually getting into and adjust yourself into the clan's "traditions"... That's all I say. Sahee out.
