There will be some upcoming changes to our applications in the future that will focus a little more on elements pertaining to a player's character, rather than a player's ....character. 

What I mean is...ahem...aher, we want to see applicants giving us a little more effort in shedding some light on what type of person they are in their application before we throw out the invite and find we're immediately wondeirng what the hell we just got ourselves into!

A code of conduct is in the works right now, and the draft will be up and running in the very near future. As FSE's growing and more personalities begin to form a sick and twisted helix of unique DNA strands from our mind crevices, we've realized we need to establish some boundaries in order to keep the atmosphere cool and clean. 

We're not saying FSE's guild chat atmosphere and behavior level needs two foot voices as if we're a bunch of librarians, but we're definitely going to be leaning farther into the direction of maturity and civility rather than the playground across the street from the RV park.

This kind of language &quot;wtf, u all need 2 fukking chill out cuz we got uber hella tight skillz ffs. Cock cock cock, penis penis, pussy vaggy, pussy vaggy jokes ftw ROFL &lt;insert&gt;&quot; is probably not going to be ideal. Insulting guild members, especially publicly, is definitely not going to be tolerated. It seems like a lot of common sense type of stuff to most of us.

With everyone's help, we can make this guild something much, much better than your typical Boulderfist guild of level 60'ish players taking down high end content. It starts with the way we communicate with each other as well as the respect we have for the guild in general.

Now I need a lead in to the next part of this post. Ah ha! Speaking of communication....

The subject of guild applicants!

So, you have a friend you think would make a great guild member, but the problem is no one but you really knows him. So you send him to the application section of our forums, and he/she pops one out.

It's surmised of broken and abrupt responses, quick responses, and about as little effort one can imagine putting into a video game club application. 

So, now imagine what impression those responsible for voting and allowing membership are getting from such weak and lazy applications? 

If your answer is anything but &quot;This is a piece of crap&quot; you're going to get a do-over, but only once. :)

We need your help in assuring these applicants that the effort they put into the applications and ability to give us some idea of what type of person they are is key. 

Our applications that we have in our application section are absolutely awful. Just about all of them are pretty lousy, so lousy that even the sub-par wind up showing up as a glimmer of hope and attract &quot;oooohss&quot; and &quot;aaahhs&quot; simply because we havn't had someone really serve as an example of what we're looking for. We need more than &quot;I'm a warrior, I can tank, and my goal is to get better gear.&quot; or &quot;I'm a druid, Felwood is pretty, and I would like to raid more. Ganking is hilarious 2 me.&quot;

We're considering some of the fault lies in the questions we &quot;arn't&quot; asking. 

So, long story short (too late, eh?) make sure to give a little nudge to your applicant friend &quot;Hey man, make sure to give them a good impression, they're tired of the lazy effortless slop they've been getting.&quot;
