[quote=@Cayce] Well that's a premise good enough to talk me out of lurking and into registering. Well done! It looks great. Quick question, though: I read that you guys will be performing background checks to ascertain player quality before accepting CS's. Given that this is my first go 'round on here, does that disqualify me? Or should I submit a CS anyway and hope for the best? [/quote] Thanks for the kind words! Main thing we'd be looking for with background checks is things like bad habits like being argumentative or otherwise having a poor attitude, frequently joining and dropping out of games, things like that. Since you literally have no posting history, you're pretty much as in the clear someone could ever be! Most people are totally fine, there's just the occasional person who raises red flags that we want to make sure won't end up ballooning into kaiju-sized monstrosities that we want to be vigilant for for everyone's sakes. Case in point, one game one player gave us really bad attitude and otherwise unpleasant vibes, so we turned her down on those grounds. She ended up filling up 2 pages of the OOC with a rant against me in particular while calling me Hitler. In hindsight, it's hilarious, but yeah, those people exist.

I started out far less skilled in writing before I met Dervs, so that's my testimonial to anyone apprehensive to join because of their writing skill. Our main thing is effort and as long as you aren't creating mary sues and typo-riddled posts, we're okay with what you bring to the table. [/quote] Oh, don't sell yourself short. Your rampant steroid and methamphetamine abuse is what made you a good writer, not me.
