Actually I accepted you to Army yesterday when I found an application on the soc terminal... it seems you were invited by Avalon butterfly erupter and must have accepted.
As you were offline when I did the accept I sent you a Welcome message via the message centre, and went on to explain that new members should register at our forum and do an application form there.
This application form is neither long nor onerous, but does let us know a little about the new member such as skill level time spent in game as well as asking for confirmation they have read and agreed our soc rules. This helps us ensure they are in the correct soc within the NBK group, and also how much help/guidance they may need.
I was a little offended to find a fairly curt reply later in the day, saying you had been NBK(captain) and had no interest in the soc as we had turned into bookeepers.
I totally fail to see how our checking for and removing inactive players so that we have space for new members makes us 'bookeepers'.
I am also concerned that instead of speaking to me to establish the facts, you have tried to smear the good name of our soc. It may not have been the ideal soc for you, but it has worked well for hundreds of others.
Oh and by the way I am Granny Rowan, General of NBK Army.. the very person you said you hadn't spoken to.
p.s As for soc terminal updates.. these are and always have been a monthly ..not weekly requirement across all of the NBK.
We ask for dates in the format 28 July 2014 as there are not only differences in format between SA and Europe but at least a 3rd format in use out there. by asking for month as a word all becomes clear and less time is wasted.
So there is indeed a warning here for Entropians about the NBK.. we are an active soc, we want to stay an active soc, but we do ask a few minutes a month from every member to help us with keeping it thus.
