I was actually approached by Atlas before I joined Test, Being the Type-A personality/manager type i liked the organizational setup they had, but reading into the minutia, they're way tooo regimented and strict. I'm a serious micro-manager myself, but their stuff was a little bit overboard. I'll be playing SC mainly because I am not at and don't want to be at work. If I want to work, I'll spend every waking hour...at work.

Some of the posts from people that had Near-ADI experiences are interesting.

Perhaps there may be a need for an ADI-Anonymous in the future to help people de-tox and reintegrate?

Or at least some compassion and understanding from Testies trying to help them reintegrate into society.

Example-

Montoya's phone rings- "Hi, you've reached the Supreme Leader".
Former ADI minion- "Uh, Hello Supreme Leader, thank you for letting me join Test Squadron. I wanted to know if its ok for me to go into my hanger and take out one of my ships. I looked on the website but I didn't see the procedure for asking permission anywhere".
Montoya- " (static) ".
Former ADI minion- "Hello?"
Montoya- "How much have you had to drink today?".
Former ADI minion- "uh.....nothing".
Montoya- "Ok. Hang up and have a drink or two or whatever then take any ship out of the hanger and crash it into the first thing you want to".
Former ADI minion- "That's it?"
Montoya- "Yup. That pretty much covers it and welcome to Test. Have a great day and see you!".

I feel like glowing leader would bring alcohol to said ex-minion and show him/her/it the correct method of living. By dying. Repeatedly. In a ball of fiery, alcohol fueled flame.

Oh shit they might realise I'm under the legal flying!!! Well there goes my chance of enjoying the game. I might as well delete star citizen and my £200-500 ships!
You're absolutely right, but how about I "hold on to" your ships until you're old enough? I promise I'll take good care of them all. :D

TEST Squadron we have long used the [CONCERN] word to express our [CONCERN]. Today in a dark lab underneath the darkest pit of hell in a black hole on top of a cat I have created a new word to express our laughter at things we will laugh at. That new word is:[CERTIFIED].

Thank you, it took me all of 1 second to create it. Maximum effort went into it I assure you.

We contact our Glorious Leader for this?

Quick someone post his phone number so new recruits aren't lost! Also, for the rest of us to express our [CONCERN] at no SotS15!

Here here. I hereby [CERTIFY] [CERTIFIED]. I do this with great [CERTIFICATION].

Edit: I probably already ruined your glorious creation. Oops. Haha

This is why I love TEST.

It's impossible to take seriously. Imagine those poor ADI guys trying to have serious discussions and shit about why TEST is so bad, and we're over here just circlejerking over shitpost gifs.

God bless the UEE, and God bless TEST.
Here is the ironic thing of this whole situation. We dont require certificates, ADI does. Despite this TEST has proven to be one of the best racing and dog fighting squadrons. At one point, when we had all hands on deck, we were #1 in majority of dogfighting and #1 in racing. We were dominating the scene (maybe its time to do this again as a show of force). Meanwhile ADI is requiring certificates and is below TEST.

You know what would be hilarious? If we just start beating ADI in all the various jobs and fields in Star Citizen. While their leaders gather around for an in depth discourse with which direction to explore, a Carrack full of TEST members will drunkenly say, "Hey, what's that thing Kirk would say... something something second star to the right?"
"Fuck it, go that way".
"Hey, a new planet."
"Does it have beer?"
"No..."
"NEXT!!!"

Fun fact: 99/100 of newly discovered planets with beer are more technologically advanced than their sans-beer counterparts.

Therefore, in this scenario, we would almost definitely always find the better planets.
