I liked the community.

6c. [Optional] Do you have an approximate date about when you joined, and when you left these clans?
I first joined the online world of Plazmaburst 2 in 2013. USO was the very first clan I joined. Approximately 2 months into joining USO, I was tasked with the job of infiltrating EKAT to help our allies: the GSA. After interacting with the community of both EKAT and GSA, I decided to join GSA, and get in the fight. At this time, USO only had two active members, me and Melledoneous, who was soon to retire. I left USO some undetermined amount of time later and have been with GSA until 2017.

Worst) I am obstinate and my opinion on a matter doesn't sway easily without evidence.
Best) When the time does come to put my own words into action, my solutions to a problem strive for maximum efficiency.

17. [Very Critical] By applying to GeNo, you will show the utmost respect to your fellow clan members and leaders, as well as to players outside of this clan.

If you do not fill it in, we have every right to say we kicked you out of the clan. There are codes of conduct that must be followed if you are going to represent our clan.

Yes.

Full membership.

20. Extra comments/questions:
Questions:
1) Does Geno have any social media?
2) What are "Geno Nights"?

Below are some projects I have worked on, either out of passion, or from commission.

Straight-Pull Gaming and Factioneers and both fake gaming communities that I made for the purpose of creating a website. These were to be used for a revamp for the GSA wordpress site, but the staff chose to stick with what they have.

Since there was another bug in the script I made, the fact that you edited your application will be overlooked. I also renamed your application.

Questioning Phase Begins.

I know how these types of apps usually go, and I only have one question: what is your current impression of our clan?

How would you describe yourself?

My only real question is that will you still stay with the clan if any major drama occurs, the clan isn't how you expected it to be or some other similar problem?

Vesper wrote:what is your current impression of our clan?

I've only been on the discord server for a two days, so I have no impressions from that. From the looks of the website and forum Geno appears to be a very old fashioned, and rule heavy clan.

Reiss wrote:How would you describe yourself?

A real neato guy.

I've dealt with drama before, it's nothing I can't handle. My only preconception about Geno is that it is more "casual" than some other communities I've been a part of. The application process seems to contradict this, but an environment like this is not alien to me.

Also, to answer your questions:

2) What are "Geno Nights"?

1. GeNo used to have an instagram ran by Cheetah, however the account is no longer active. So currently, GeNo has no social media accounts.

2. Events where members of the clan (as well as random visitors) can hang out and have fun. They originally took place on Xat, but eventually died off as that chat service began to stop being used.

Would you be more active on discord or forums?

I will be more active on Discord.

As it's been a while since the last question was asked, the voting phase will begin now.

+1
Your replies were almost like responses one would give during a formal job interview. I honestly feel intimidated.
It's always good to see new faces (even though you're not that young anymore ).
I hope to get to know you better ^^

Lets all pray that Purpie doesn't use cringe emoji's again.. jk jk
Your application and responses have been mature and well thought out. Judging from what you've said, I think you're a good pick for the clan. My main issues are that the clan isn't that old fashioned and rule based so your perspective on this clan might change for good or bad and how much you'll be active consistently.

As far as I can tell, there are no problems with your personality meshing with those of the members of the clan. You bring some good stuff to the table, stuff that most people that apply do not.

I'll give you a +1 for this and we'll see what happens.

+1 I know you personally, so I can vouch about how good of a person you can be. I'm sure you'll fit in here at GeNo!

You have a lot of great skills and seem to have an okay personality so why not.+1

Despite you not reaching the required amount of votes to pass, the active population of the clan doesn't have an issue with you joining.

And since you passed testing by a narrow margin, you're now a member of the clan.

Welcome to GeNo.
