Dear all Free Companies

[KingOfAbyss]

I resolved this problem. Our applications are off.

You want in, and not be like those in DF, the silent type? SPEAK.

If you are interested into a specific FC, you can see the name's leader; if you see someone around with the same FC, you can talk to them. You can send me a Tell, have a little chat, and then we will tell you upfront if we would be pleased to have you among our ranks, for the better of the community, or not.

It feels like the cell phones nowadays: no one talks directly, everyone is sending txt msg... sigh..

So those who are interested, don't be shy: not because we are closed, that we won't allow to increase our fun with nice new members, and help each other.

That way, no need for others to check if a random applicants tried to join, without even talking, it's the same than looking at players without an FC, and sending them right off a request to join <--- now THAT is rude.

On the other hand, you know who the leader of the FC you applied to is. You can help by sending this person a /tell if you see them online and mention you submitted an application.

I would just say its not that easy to notice it. If you are online you get a message sure, but otherwise you dont. If you're not regularly getting apps you might not think to check it each day. I try to check it every time I log in, but there rarely is one, then I kinda forget about it, and THATS when people start applying.

So how to set up the Rank, someone gets when he joins, either I am blind or it just isnt that obvious ... just putting that here because it got mentioned

I added a "recruit" rank for members to automatically go into when they joined, but the default appears to be "member" then you have to promote/demote to "recruit" when they join, which I don't like, as there is immediately a guild message and I feel it must make the new member feel uncomfortable.

What you do is set the permissions of "member" to what "recruit" has. You can even rename it. Then you can create a new "member" rank (or whatever you want to call it) with the permissions you want your normal members to have.

:O Actually, it would be awesome if, upon logging in, the FC leader received a notice of <1 application submitted>.
