you are Emperor
Emperor...of almost Canadians.
I've said many times the default state for TESTes is confusion

"I have no idea what I'm doing" has been on our recruitment poster from day one (twice)

it's taken CIG two years to wise up?

they have no idea what they're doing

[CONCERN]
I had a witty response to this. Then I kept reading, playing cards, and drinking...
And I forgot.
I'm so confused.

Citizenship is earned. I'm almost there.
I hear you can cheat the system by giving people maple syrup and they will rubber stamp anything.

"This form is blank! And you're not even a citizen!"
"Here is some Maple Syrup!"
"This form is completely filled out by a new citizen and I see no errors!. Cheers!"

Getting your citizenship a sticky process as it is. May as well be sticky and delicious.

While this was/is a serious matter, it is also a frustrating yet humorous one.

When a new member joins TEST from our org page at https://robertsspaceindustries.com/orgs/TEST, there are a few steps we ask these new arrivals to take, such as engaging in conversation with us so we can break the ice and get them involved!

After clicking the "Join us now" button, a little window comes up which asks the new applicant to follow a few basic steps, the first being:



Seems simple enough right?

Well, several times every month a couple of our best and brightest new applicants fail to understand this very simple instruction.

Instead of posting in our org thread on RSI, they choose to completely ignore the ACTUAL FUCKING LINK WE JUST GAVE THEM and post in the "New Recruits" forum on RSI.

For those that do no frequent RSI, the rules are that you can not start new threads to promote your org outside of your official thread. It is a very simple rule and obviously and important one. The last thing anybody wants is to see thousands of threads which are nothing but spam about how great your org is.

After our new applicant has posted in the wrong section, the regulars who hang out in the New Recruits forum lose their shit and start freaking out at the new TEST member, flagging their post then crying and bitching to the RSI mods that TEST is spamming them!

Angry RSI mods then contact me and tell ME to knock it off!

Naturally I respond with sympathy and logic, I am sorry it happened, but there is no way I can prevent idiocy!

Over the past year I have been bitched at by several mods, and every time I tell them there is nothing I can do about it!

Finally after complaining enough, the RSI mods got Disco Lando involved! :D

He contacted me and had a good 20min argument discussion about how I need to stop telling new TEST applicants to spam TEST in the New Recruits section.

Again, I explained that I nor anybody else is telling them to do this.

His question then was how come we are the only org that does this!

I told him I honestly have no explanation!

The one and only place we request that new applicants go and post is the org thread, and the exact URL is given to them! If they can't follow a simple instruction and they are posting in the wrong section, how am I being held responsible for people being idiots!?!

I have always sensed something dark and sinister hidden within, a disturbance if you will.

I searched my feelings, and I know it to be true.



What Disco said next was that I, the glorious leader of TEST, was in fact responsible for all the idiocy that may occur here!

Coincidentally, after our conversation the New Recruits forum was renamed "So you're now a citizen" , Im not sure if its because of us or if they felt this was a better name, but hopefully this fixes things! :p

Congrats TESTies!

You are Star Citizen's lovable idiots!
Stop having them say "TEST SQUADRON - BEST SQUADRON! HI TEST! " and just have them introduce themselves, and you've eliminated the problem!

I's this like the "please do not like my thread - thread" and we're supposed to actually now all go and spam the recruits - aka "so now your a TEST citizen" section ? I am so really confused now. I'm not sure if I am in the right place or not, but, aren't we the guys that replied to operation pitchfork with Operation Yawspoon, or the guys who will fly our Aurora's into one of the stars ?

I also tried to post that "hello I'm new here" thingy, but it got deleted from the concierge forums section and the account was banned. I shrugged and said sorry, I'm with TEST now, and they seemed to understand, and unbanned me. I also keep asking them to restore my thread and maybe just move it instead, but they will not relent and have asked I quit bothering them with it. Was awhile ago, but I refuse to surrender so easily !

Okay, I'm really just making all that up. But made you read it anyways MUAHAHAH!

P.S.
