I'd like to join, I don't know what to put...hrm...I don't program, I've tried but I guess I have ADD because I never get very far, I have a vague knowledge of VB, I used to game a lot on BroodWar, Diablo II, and now I am a full time student and have a part-time job. I like to get into semi-serious discussions occasionally ( for those of you who didn't notice ), I love cars, everything about them, and I enjoy playing WoW.
My schedule...
Monday - Thursday: Work ( 6am - 12:30pm ) // School ( 1:30pm - 9:30pm )
Friday: Work ( 6am - 12:30pm ) // School ( 1:30pm - 3:00pm )
Saturday - Sunday: Work ( 6am - 2:30pm )
I usually visit here a couple times a day when I can catch some time, anywho, anything anyone wants to know, feel free to ask.
-
I don't know you very well, but from what I've seen your a nice guy. :)
-
Sure why not.
-
hrm...I don't program
This isn't a programming clan. It's a pwngramming clan! ^_^
Seriously though, it isn't a programming clan.
-
I know it isn't, I have read the "How to join" thread :P I was just giving you an insight of what I do and don't / cannot do, that being the reason I added that I used to game a lot.

Make your avatar more sexy and you get my vote. :)

Hehe, just kidding. I actually saw that a few months ago in an e-mail my boss showed me. :)

hint hint, get to know me.

Get everyone to know you, in a good way and you to know everyone. Note: Do not do the trust thing and put a thread in each members forum, its not a good idea.

Note: do not do the other trust thing and be racist to deadly. It's a good way to get banned from the forums eventually.

Actually, I stole it from Screenor's FTP :P But I do try to get to know the members, but the majority of you idle, or don't even come onto battle.net, and the majority of the topics discussed in member's forums I don't find them...worthwhile? And actually, I don't go to the member forums much, I generally stay in the "General Forums"
-- Right now there are 4 clan members with tags loaded in Op x86
-
Most of us use the forum as our main clan discussion area. I think idling on Battle.net is pointless (which is why I don't do it).

Unless it's against Jews. They're the universal scapegoat, and are allowed to be picked on.
But seriously, I don't know you well enough to decide. What that means is, stick around longer.
-
Also Furious, alot of us use Instant Messangers of variations (AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, mIRC, etc.). Get ahold of us there. Check profiles for information! If we don't answer there are good reasons.

Yeah, fucking Jews. I'm just glad we don't have one for a leader or something! :)

I don't like the idea of IM'ing people I don't know, it's stupid, I suppose I will just stick around here for a little longer and just keep talking to Warrior, Newby, and WiReS ;/

I still think Furious[x86] is damn sexah :-*

Hehe, that's fine. If you're still interested in joining the clan (personally, I'd love to see you join! You seem like a nice person :)), try contactin iago, MyndFyre and/or Quik about getting leader approval.
-
I may try, I may not, but everyone seems pretty easy going here :P
-
NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE! GOD.

you just earned a no vote gj

How do I join [x86]?
-- Well, there's a two-step process on your behalf. I'll explain those steps briefly, since I assume you can figure out the rest. The two are linked together as well.
Get two of the three leaders to approve of you. Who are the leaders? Well, currently, they are iago[x86], Quik[x86], and MyndFyre[x86]. If you're wondering how to get their approval then ... (read below)Get to know the members, contribute to the forums/channel, become something the members want in the clan. If you're an inconsiderate prick all the time there's no way anybody likes you, and that narrows down your chances of getting into the clan. However, if you turn out to be somebody that is fun to be around, is extremely friendly, liked by all, your chances are better! Plus, why would any member vote yes on someone they don't know?
There's a three-step process on our behalf, but since that's not relevant to you I won't discuss it here.
It's ok, they are the important people ;)
-
you just earned a no vote gj
Hahaha
It's ok, they are the important people ;)
Haha, to begin with, anyway! :)
-
Yeah, yeah, we all know Warrior is easy, almost as easy as his mom ;x I will regain my vote with him!
-
Your ok.
-
Your ok.
I love you too.
-
btw, although the leaders are the important part, I also take thoughts and concerns of members (especially Newby) to heart when deciding. So everybody is important! :-P
-

You had my vote untill that. ;)

.....
Any friends around here (members or otherwise)? No..
Why do you want to join? I don't.
Have you read our rules? Sure have..

What's changed?

I've been talking to some of the members on a more normal basis, mainly GameSnake, xex, WiReS, Ergot, and a little with Krazed / Newby last night.
-
Ok, I was just curious about that.
At this moment, there aren't 2 leaders willing to give you approval.
But who knows what the future holds? Stick around for awhile, get involved with stuff here, and you might have a chance one day. Or you might not, and it'll be a big waste of time. Either way, it'll be fun!

No, I just don't like telling people "You're screwed, go away". Not that he is!
Although I'm more of an optimist than a pessimst, I am usually between them. :)
-
I didn't think I would to begin with, I don't really know any of the leaders to begin with, and of course iago wouldn't give me his vote, I talked about kitty suicide runs ;x

Oh, haha, I forgot that was you.
In general, I don't like cats much; but I still don't believe in being mean :)

It's one of those, "You had to be there!" things, it's hillarious.

I love cats. I think bonsai kittens (http://www.bonsaikitten.com/) are horrible ideas!

Yeah, a buddy of mine showed me that site, that is so fucked up. :/

Got leader recommendations?

Got leader recommendations?
Recommendations? Doubtful, only reason I bumped it was because of this:
|9:27:15 PM| <Furious> Didn't know that.
|9:27:16 PM| <Furious> <3
|9:27:34 PM| <rabbit[x86]> O <3 now that I can vote against you.
-
It's best to consult the leaders privately for approval. :)

Personally, I don't think I know any one of you enough to get your approval, although I have had a few conversations with 2 / 3 of you.

I'm totally Furious that Furious hasn't asked for leader approval.

That would make me Furious.

Last time bump! I'm still interested in joining, although I have not personally asked leaders for approval I feel that I participate enough through the community to at least be under consideration. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me via PM or an IM.

You don't get considered without approval -.-

What's my motivation for it? He hasn't asked and doesn't want to play by the rules.

I actually wasn't intending on asking you anyways, since it requires a 2/3, I believe I have a good chance of getting Sidoh's approval, but iago I'm not too positive about but, I see you as a 0% chance. Maybe since it's been so long since anyones replied to this ( with the exception of today ) I'd forgotten I have to get approval personally?

Maybe you should just try asking...just to see.
I just PM'd all 3 & got my 2/3 approvals
-
I'll talk to Sidoh over AIM about it, and more than likely PM iago.

I doubt it. You said:

And by personally, I meant privately, which is something I had forgotten I have to do. It's usually like...
Post => Get Approved / Denied => Join or Don't.
not...
Get Approval => Post => Wait 2 months for voting => Join or Don't.
-
Post => Get Approved / Denied => Join or Don't.
not...
Get Approval => Post => Wait 2 months for voting => Join or Don't.
But see, our system is set up to avoid that (which you would know if you'd read and understood the rules). We don't want people to have to wait around. Votes are two weeks and always start immediately following the receipt of two leaders' approval.

Take heed of this, Furious. The "I'd like to join!" threads are basically introduction threads which members pay closer attention to. Technically you don't have to post one at all, all you have to do is get the approvals and then the votes.

A couple other things I should mention about the voting system.
I said votes are always two weeks. That is true unless one of the following conditions have been met:
1.) A sufficient number of "yes" votes tallied against the total number of active members minus the total number of "abstain" votes is achieved such that the ratio is greater than or equal to 75%, or yes/(active-abstain) >= 0.75. Thus, if five members (out of the current twenty-one active) abstain, twelve members voting yes would create the necessary 75% majority and, even though 12/21 is not nearly 75%, because five abstained and are not counted against the total, it works.
2.) A sufficient number of "no" votes tallied against the total number of active members minus the total number of "abstain" votes is achieved such that the ratio is greater than 25%, or no/(active-abstain) > 0.25. Thus, if five members (of the current twenty-one active) abstain, 5 members voting no would exceed the required 25% minority. Again, even though 5/21 is not 25%, because of the abstain votes not being counted against the total, we have a majority.
Members are allowed to change their votes up until the time that the figurehead (or his/her appointee, who is me at the moment because Newby is out of town, well he's actually in town to me, because he's near me, but he's out of town as in away from everyone else) declares the vote over, which is either after the two weeks or any time after one of the two above conditions is met.
As an aside Furious, I might have given you approval before your brazen example of disregard for how our system works. I actually just defended you over something in one of our private discussion areas. Now I'm not so sure.
