Applications Vs Registrations

[Nabiri]

^-^ I have a question for those who have LS applications.
I know some have already said that they wouldn't, but to the others...

If I was in a party with you and looking for a linkshell, and we got along really well and I was polite and helpful, and I asked to join your shell but told you that I wasn't comfortable with LS applications (when you mentioned them), would you make an acception for me if you thought I would fit your linkshell nicely? Would just talking to me (or an interview if you MUST call it that lol) be alright?

(Thanks for answers :x)

If I were the leader of the linkshell and decided to make that call then sure. I've run end-game shells/guilds where we have an application process but wave it based on personal interactions.

We have let in people like that before I believe... but unfortunately with the new site and the way it was set up all people have to fill out the application to get onto the forum, it's part of forum registration. lol even I had to redo the app when I moved over to the new site heehee... I filled out every answer as bacon! XD

So even though we might say you have an auto in due to people supporting you to entering the shell because you are a great person and we get along with you. You would still have to write something on the app just to get it to go through, since it's set up that way on the site, so you could have access to the forum and all of our information, help threads, events etc...

That's great and not stressful in the least. hehe ^-^ I'm happy that you would at least consider someone like me.
My lack of wanting to do an app has nothing to do with lazyness as some suggest. I've always been one for excellent attendance to LS events, required or not, just because I enjoy them so much. I've been LS secretary, keeping track of all sorts of info in a few linkshells. It's not fair to be so quick to judge and assume about someone who dislikes apps. :3 Some of us are good people! XD (I wasn't saying you were judging Kai, I was referring to some other posts ^^)
Your LS as you described it earlier sounds very fun and full of nice people. I don't have a linkshell in FFXIV yet, it's a shame you're not on Besaid cuz you sound like my kinda people!
If I had to do an app, to register but knew I'd be in anyways I could relax a bit and have more fun I think. :3

I hope I find a nice LS like yours on Besaid Kai. ^-^/

Yeah to be honest we try to be nice about it... if someone applies and we don't know who they are and have questions then someone contacts them and tries to get to know them/hangs out/parties etc. You can't really judge someone off an app so you have to get to know them! But like I said, many of the people who apply are people who we have partied with or have friends/family in the shell already.

I know you weren't saying I was judging etc... I was just trying to show that every shell that asks for apps aren't bad people, or don't want to help, or don't treat people who get in nice. I really really love the people in my shell and enjoy being with them, we are a big family. Even now we are chatting on mumble, doing parties and helping, crafting and laughing at the conversation we are having while chatting. XD

It is a shame that you aren't on Mysidia, but I do wish you the best of luck on Besaid! I hope that you find a nice shell and enjoy the game! Best of luck and stay happy!!!

Yeah, I'm really rooted into Besaid already. X3 So I couldn't leave here. I really love the RP community too. I think I'd like to join a non-rp LS though. I hope I find a group like yours.
Suddenly I feel motivated to find a really nice shell that fits me. >:3

Thanks for talking about your LS a bit. It's nice to see a more casual and friendly/family-like LS with apps. As I said, all my "app linkshells" have been anti-social towards new members, and full of jerks. XD I wouldn't judge all app linkshells like that, but I like hearing about the opposite since I've never seen it.

Thanks a ton and good luck with the shell! :3
