Trial Information For Epyon and Cavalier

[CaVaLieR]

Tonic, you got me all wrong. I'm not getting defensive or personal here, but your the ONLY "senior" member I've had a problem with thus far. That being said thats why I brought up my assumptions, since you brought up yours. Never said I was doing 3oD a favor, another assumption of yours. I don't want to start out as a new member having any problems with any members. Anyway, maybe I did get a little out of hand, but I'm just standing up for myself. I apologize, let bigons be bigons?

[EpYoN]

My AKA is oPtiMuS, Tonic.

[Tonic]

It was storm the fort. Practice at it and we can play, it's actually pretty fun.

And Cav, no harm done.

[EpYoN]

This is dumb. CaVaLieR and I are joining to help the clan, we're not implying that it needs help. We simply aim to be a positive part which will do nothing but good, which will be seen as soon as we are given the opportunity. If that is not something that the clan sees to be in its best interest, the clan does not deserve our time.

Neither of us will quit if the other does not make the cut, we just would prefer the notion that we can play together for the clan. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SO COMPLICATED ABOUT ALL OF THIS.

If 3oD is truly skeptical of us, then please, give us a real trial period... as it stands now, we've already been waiting going on 2 weeks, and now it will probably be two weeks to a month before we even get an actual answer as to whether or not it's going to work out for us. I fail to see how this dragged out voting process and off tag trial is going to instill any positive reinforcement for us or the clan.

I apologize for the double post.

[skiD]

Just be patient, it has always been long to join 3oD. If you can't wait that long you might as well give up now. Consider the fact that not everybody can get on one day, play you and talk to you enough to make a vote out of it in that single day. Two weeks is probably the minimum to get enough members to do so. Since you were the "list" EpYoN, you will get a 'PRE-TRIAL' voting, which is stated clearly by Tonic. CaVaLieR will have an answer by August 16th, and your answer should come a week later, if you pass the pre-trial.

[EpYoN]

I'm being patient. I've been waiting nearly two weeks, as I've clearly stated and is evident in these public posts to our consideration. I've considered the fact that not everyone can login in a timely fashion. However, I've seen all the members logged-in myself except for one.

This is all way too complicated and it's becoming redundant. Over a month's time, for a simple 8-person voting process for allowing us in on a non-tagged trial period is just ridiculous.

[Tonic]

I fail to see how this dragged out voting process and off tag trial is going to instill any positive reinforcement for us or the clan.

I don't. In fact, your impatience just makes it clearer to me that 3oD's trial process is incredibly effective. This is exactly why we have a "dragged out" trial period in the first place. So that people who are impatient leave now before later. The trial process has been in place for a long time, and it's not going to be circumvented just because Epyon doesn't feel like waiting. The voting process has already been laid out in detail. If you don't feel like going through it, you're free to opt out at any time.

If you think 3oD "doesn't deserve" you, then you're probably right. Feel free to make your exit. Otherwise, be patient.

And next week all the pledges will show up in their underwear...all dues are payable by check to Tonic@USEast.

[Tonic]

Don't forget that their girlfriends belong to 3oD now.

[skiD]

Yes and unlike in the NFL, in 3oD rookie members do have to carry our equipment. GG.

[CaVaLieR]

You mean carry you in the game? GG

[skiD]

Maybe? You have to do that too fyi.

[TarTeR]

ELEPHANT WALK!! lol

[TeaLaGe]

always waiting game.

[Tonic]

Thanks for your input. Everyone was waiting to hear what you had to say.

[EpYoN]

Tonic you need to take a class on preventing yourself from jumping to conclusions and placing words in other people's part of the dialogue. Yes, I'm awaiting a positive answer and I'd like the process to be as short as possible, however, that doesn't mean I am impatient, that I don't feel like waiting, or that I'm going to quit. I am only emphasizing points at which 3oD is currently lax in carrying out in this process, due to the fact that this is all on my time in this life which is being spent on your account. I will re-emphasize these points now, so that you may understand what I actually am saying to you clearly.

I put in CaVaLieR's and my request to join a good two weeks ago. DeMuRe started the process of recruitment a few days afterward and made it concrete on this very forum 6 days ago in a similar topic. In this topic CaVaLieR and myself received criticism and skepticism for our interest in the clan from a number of individuals from 3oD and even more outside of the clan. I have done nothing but defend and explain my will to join since that time, and yet I still remain on the warpath, committed to joining. However, I have not received any consideration from you other than your skeptical and pre-conceived conclusions of what is really going on here. That is only fueling my frustration level with you and the clan, and yet I persist. I have attempted several times to contact you and move the process along, in any way possible, whether it be playing a game or simply talking about the matter, and yet I have received nothing but twisted ranting about how unbefitting to the clan I am because I simply am eagerly awaiting my place within it. In the time since it was decided that we would be voted on, I have seen all members but ONE. And yet there has been no updates to the voting process, regardless of the fact that I am constantly putting my time and energy on the line to make it obvious that I am here for good. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT?

[Tonic]

It seems you didn't read or understand what I posted. I'm not going to repeat myself.

I already detailed the method by which your trial process will proceed. I even included specific dates. Like I said, whether you like it or not, that is what your trial process will consist of. If you want to join clan 3oD, then you will have to be patient and complete the process. It will not be expedited for any reason. If you don't want to be patient, then that's your prerogative. But it's our prerogative to show you the door.

In other words (I repeat), be patient. 3oD isn't being "lax" on anything. This is the way it's intended to be. Your continued frustration only does a disservice to you. I'm not making anything unnecessarily long. This is the way that 3oD recruits.

[skiD]

...and it won't change so no point in arguing.

[EpYoN]

I read what you said, over and over (despite the fact that you claim to not be repeating yourself), and that doesn't change the fact that I've seen every single "active" member of the voting list except for one in the past two weeks, and no known action has been taken. skiD, nothing is being argued, I'm simply pointing out that either your clan is lazy, you're not going through with the process properly, or that you simply do not want me to join. I'm not expecting of you to change the process, only to go through with it in a reasonable manner. I read what you said, and you're not going through with it according to what has been said. Last night is the first time anyone short of DeMuRe has even taken the initiative to play a game on my behalf. If what I'm saying is not making sense, you're simply unable to carry out what you've said or you lack basic reading comprehension ability. Tonic, as far as I can see, the only disservice I am doing to myself is being zealous in attempting to join a nearly dead clan that is in no way doing me any service at all other than to dissuade me from joining in the 1st place. Carry out your side of the bargain, make your vote, and quit jerking me around with your short-sighted opinions of what is at hand. Nearly everything you have said has nothing to do with the actual process that you have "detailed."

Are either of you aware of what is going on, or are you both on hallucinogenics which impair your ability to decipher a simple situation? There is no argument here, only a lack of action and redunance of your statements on the original proposition. Tonic has not only been acting out on my behalf, but CaVaLieR's as well. You're merely jerking us around and acting as though our intentions are but for yours to decipher. Not only are the two of you saying that the voting process has never changed and has always been this way, you decided to do it this way only at this very one time. No one in this history of 3oD has gone through a non-tagged trial process or "two week voting period" for such a process of stupidity. How can it be considered a trial process when one is completely estranged from 3oD to begin with? On top of such a stupid proposition of recruitment, we've been waiting for some sort of action for the last two weeks, as I have repeatedly said, which has not been shown in any sort of way.

What have you people done? It took two weeks to even get a single game out of You. Where are your opinions of us being made? Where are your votes? What are you doing to carry out what you claim to be the process that has never changed?

Both of us have been constantly attempting to make contact and make hay on the process, and yet you both just keep repeating what have you about how we simply have to wait. That is not making a bit of good in determining an accurate decision on the matter. You're either lazy or jerking us off. Take your pick. How is waiting without any action going to do anything to better the way things are? The answer is that nothing has changed; you are simply not doing anything.

3oD is being nothing but lax, according to what I have pointed out, and what you seem to be ignorant to. skiD, I admit and argue, 3oD has never been hard to join for me (regardless of how it has been for you), which may be argued has been my problem with 3oD all along. However, I will argue otherwise. Tonic, regardless of the fact that I am not 3oD, you are not 3oD. You're simply a minuscule remainder of a sick notion of pride that this clan withholds. You login for a short time, maybe once or twice a year, and yet you claim to follow a process that that has always been, in which the leader and others admit that you came up with out of your own mind. You deny any idea that you might repeat yourself and admit to repeating yourself in the very same post; well done. You are quite full of it, it seems. You claim that I am not in understanding, and yet you have no mind to what I point out on 3oD's behalf and lack there-of. If you want me to seem more patient and to cause less of a racket, maybe you should take some more obvious action, as opposed to arbitrarily speaking out as though you contain the final word of the clan's behalf?
