Ok, First of all, I had to do alot more than just ask when I was to join. You making it sound like we got in by doing nothing. If this was true, then we would have noobs as gamekeepers. You know what I mean, some of those noobs that you never remeber the name of or just ignore.
When Shogan hired me, I had to go through a series of tests as I hosted 3 noob tournys before I was able to fully join. If I had a horrible rep and was one of those people who no one knew, I am sure I would have not got in either.
It is true that you just have to ask if you want to join as a gamekeeper, but its more than that. Currently, there isn't really any spots avaiable right now due to Shogan having the game keeper canidate thing going on right now, so if any one was to ask right now that has a chance, you might not get a reply, or he might say no right now.
