2. Do you have any alternate accounts (accounts that you own or use, apart from the account you are applying with)? If yes, please state the usernames with their respective profile links: No

3. Are you currently in a clan?: No

3b. What clans have you been in before?: I have not been in a clan before

3c. Why did you join those clans?: -

3d. [Optional] Do you have an approximate date about when you joined, and when you left these clans?: -

4. How did you find the forums?: I was recommended by my friend, Sniper J

5. Do you personally know anyone in GeNo? If yes, please state them: Sniper J

6. [Critical] Why do you wish to join GeNo?: I want to be a part of a clan. I have been playing pb2 for many years and I feel like being a part of a clan now. I have seen many great players and received many positive feedback from GeNo and it would be great if I could play as a part of GeNo.

7. [Critical] What can you help to contribute to GeNo?: I can contribute as an active player of PB2 and possibly in other games.

8. [Critical] What do you believe defines a good player? What defines a bad player?: A good player should have great teamworking skills, self-motivated, strategical skills and leadership. These skills can be seen by a player in any game and they define a good player. A bad player usually complains, rages and cannot accept defeat. Those players are the worse kind and they will never improve if they possess those skills.

9. Current country/state of residence: Australia

11. How productive will you be on GeNo forums and Discord Chat?: It really depends. I will check on the forum from time to time. If I'm very comfortable with the forum, then I will be very active here  

12. [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. This includes being honest about your application and your answers during each phase, and with others concerning your actions. Failure to do so will result in severe consequences, such as dismissal from the clan. If in any case, you wish to leave GeNo, you must fill out a resignation form to confirm you're leaving. 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. Do you believe you can handle this responsibility?:
Yes

13. Extra comments/questions:

+1 You displayed exemplary answers to every question directed to you. I have no reason to think you won't fit in or that you wouldn't be accepted. Good luck.

Old player or not, lied or not, i am satisfied with the answers that you gave us. +1
But i hope that it's not going to be proved that you are a big liar because then i will be remembering Reloadium's words.
Don't disappoint us.

+1 even if you might care a bit about skill, i've played with you and you are a pretty fun person to be around with. i'm willing to give this a shot. just please know that we don't care if you never even played pb2 before or if you're #1 at the moment. what we are about is character. if you understand that, then that's good enough for me.

-1 like what reloadium has said, I'm not sure that you understand what our goal is. And I don't think you're ready enough to be part of our clan.

I love what you said here:
"Some gave feedback and some spoke to other players about GeNo. I've been playing PB2 for many years and it's nice to find people who still play it. I know the skills don't matter but I'm happy to find people who are good at it and are friendly. I want to play with a clan and make some friends online. Possibly down the line, if I get tired of pb2, I can try a new game that most of the members are playing and work on being good at that. I'm not looking at being good at pb2. I'm looking to be a part of a support system online where I can play other cool games and chat with members around the world and make some friends. So far, GeNo has provided that for me and I'm happy."

I feel like the main idea of joining a clan is joining a community where you feel you'll thrive and be happy. I respect Sniper J and his judgment a lot, and if he says you have good character, and nothing in this app or your answers indicates to me otherwise, it's a +1 from me!

+1 A mediocre app, but I believe the answers to the questions that were asked more than made up for it. You may be a little centered around PB2, but I think in time, you'll come to realize that we have options other than PB2.

Congrats to Reloadium for having most ironic content vote of all time. You deserve it for making him look bad lol. +1

I wanted to wait some time after the vote to progress before I voted, because I wanted to see you make due on some of your statements about making friends in the GeNo server and the activity you claimed you could provide.

However, approximately a week has passed and I am not convinced. Allow me to touch on a few of the things that you've said that I have not seen properly fulfilled, or question about the legitimacy of the satement.

Minor, but I'm fairly certain that the guest system was not introduced until 2013. Perhaps very late 2012.

I can see that GeNo is still active in games like PB2.

Well, most of us actually don't play pb2 at all. The ones that do are not on very often, so I'm having a hard time believing that you're seeing GeNo members on so much, and especially not believing that you're seeing games made specifically for GeNo members because this a true rarity.

Though as I stated that most of us are not on PB2 often, I can say for certain that I have not once seen you online.

While your response only had to do with the forum, the question was asking about Discord activity as well. And in a later response you said ...

Rocky Cola wrote:I'm taking my time to get to know some players in GeNo and making a few friends in the Discord server.

However, you have only sent 28 messages in the server total, spanning over a whole two days.

All of this really comes back to a statement you made very early on in your application...

And while I cannot tell you what you want, I can say that you have not proven to me your interest in joining us in action, though it seemed that you were so determined in your questioning phase. And because I am not convinced, I'm going to have to vote -1.

I've only had a short stay here at GeNo so far, but from what I have expierenced so far it is far from just PB2 based, which I enjoy! Your application is good and demonstrates good character. However, there are doubts, the talk of joining a clan purely for "clout" or "prestige" is not acceptable, and for you started to give that impression. The lack of being able to provide accurate information on the initial application in regards to PB2 links shows lack of professionalism and care. I'm sure GeNo as a clan will keep an eye out for these doubts. However, I don't see anything majorly alarming, and I trust in my fellow clanmates judgements regarding your personality, you also play PUBGM so that's a plus. +0.5
