I'm pretty sure i've seen instances of an elite's no being overruled by the "yes" votes of many others. Even if it hasn't happened and I'm not remembering right, I think that's how it works anyways: Usually, if an elite member says no, then it's a no. BUT if the support from the other members is great enough, the elite's "no" can be overruled. It might not be written anywhere, but that seems to be how things work here. Also, Because-I-Don't-Like-Him "no"s can be avoided by simply asking why the elite is saying no. If it's a BS reason, then the "no" can be negated.
As for Elite status (from recruitment forum):
If you are an elite member: that means that you have been in 42 for a long time or you have done a considerable amount to contribute to the clan.
By "ready" I assume you mean that they have the conduct and contribution which meets the standard of elite status. Just like it says there, if a person can demonstrate their capability as an elite before 6 months, I'm sure Dillon would have no problem granting them elite status if they asked for it and provided a brief explanation of why they deserve it.
I guess our difference in our sense of how long 6 months is can be chalked up to our age difference. Since 6 months is a bigger portion of your life than it is mine, it's longer for you. It actually goes by kind of quick for me. So I see where you're coming from.
And about your dissatisfaction with being junior status.. It was your choice to leave. I know it was because you had some friends in doxa who needed help if I recall correctly, but you should have been aware of the fact that you can't just leave and expect elite status when you return. When you leave a clan, your status in that clan is reset, you know this. Now you have to work for elite status just like everybody else. It's not like it would be that hard for you actually. You have a number of artistic talents and good tb skills that you can lend to the clan. Make some banners, sigs, textures, vids, win tourneys, donate to the clan bank, etc. Do any of these things and you'll be elite again in no time.
