Order of the Blue Garter: Open Recruitment Season

[YuriSan]

Al Qaeda is bad but they still have members!

Thats a fail example.

It's not that at all Yuri, you know I can respect a good player when I see one. It's the way the whole thing is presented. To me that is as important, if not more so, than skill.

This should have been done in the world forums, just like any other shell would have, and as to why applications are public? Well, that just makes no sense other than to use them to blugeon the applicant publicly.

They clearly stated this was meant for cross-server apps as well and general forums are where you will likely get the most traffic, nobody not from Durandal is gonna check Durandal forum. I am sure there are no rules against posting LS recruitment in general forum.

Oh c'mon now. Everyone who knows who BG is knows they're on Durandal. People looking for that type of shell will seek them out. There may not be any official rule against it, but just look at the replies on any other recruiting thread that's been posted in general discussion.

less QQ more Ryan Gosling talk plox!

One common misconception I've seen trending through these forums; Rau is NOT part of BG. At least, last time I checked his 99 linkshells, he wasn't.... (<3 Rau)

I have a few friends and socials with some BG members. One of them gave me tonnes of advice, actually, on gearing and combat mechanics, and I'm grateful towards her. They're not hesitant at all to help us outside of their events and stuff; I remember duo-ing together with a BG member into Natalan (Sorry I wiped though. ._. ), caravans and leves, these simple things.

Really, just in terms of attitude and member appeal, BG is much like any LS; a healthy lively bouncing bunch of eggs with a few bad and lunatic ones. I'm not saying that all of BG are high-heaven gods or whatever, but they're human; I doubt I could find ONE LS that did not have a bad egg in it. BG just happens to be more well-known, so they get all the lashings. Think Lindsay Lohans when she did drugs. Tonnes and billions of other people do drugs. But Linday gets slain by media and general public.

I respect their activism towards quality playing, and wish them luck. I myself don't have the true mindset to actively seek such goals, so I have no plans to register, but to those BG members who know me (even vaguely from my very fail skills), good luck, and enjoy. It's been a pleasure being on Durandal with you, and all the other LS'.

I dun get it....
Why peeps hatin' on BG?
Cause they achieve the shit u wanna achieve?
only 2 months earlier than you?
what is it?

It's not the achievement, it's rubbing their alleged greatness in people's faces and treating everyone that hasn't achieved as much as them as some sort of lower class of people. Fortunately, not everyone in the LS is like that, but the cases where it has happened stick out like a sore thumb. I do see a genuine interest by some to change that perception, but it's going to take a while (that about page has got to go, as I said- that's too far). They can do it if they really want to though, and I recognize a few people like the OP who aren't intending to rub things in, as it were.

Yeah, making apps public at all is just wrong. What purpuse does that serve other than to use the app as a baton to beat the applicant with?

As I said before WE did not make that public. Someone outside our LS posted that persons app, it was not a member of BG by any means, so before you go point fingers and accusing us of not being classy, please read the thread of even at least the most recent page before you post.
