Your application is short and I didn't chuckle when I read it. This is a bad sign. I'll watch the replays and if I don't cringe, I'll stay neutral.

Ok I normally don't really care about applications but sometimes an application comes along that blows me out the water - unfortunately this is not one of them.

I'm not too sure I care about what you're qualities are outside of Aikido. But if you're making claims you must back them up. You learn first? Prove to us that you do, give me an example of a time you've learned fast. Online everyday isn't something to marvel at, chatting is great but it's not a quality, it's a hobby.

I've been in this org for 2 years, I've been a leader for a year and a half. In that time I have seen 2 applications that genuinely impressed me, one of those is iver. You don't need to impress us with your application to get in, we look at skill. Although if you want to prove to us that you're someone worth having around who maybe isn't the best ingame then you best be sure to blow us the fuck away with your application.

Now, replays.

a1 - this proves to me that you can learn how to throw. You just need to work at it, throwing isn't the only type of aikido though - if you want to learn to throw properly pm me.

a2 - against one of us, against timmy. This is a good replay to include, this is again a pretty ok throw - you can work at it though.

a7 - you couldn't resist the lift could you? This guy seems pretty new so I'm not going to review this replay too heavilly

a8 - I like this replay, it shows that you have your own style and aren't afraid to take risks - again with the new player though.

a10 - small dojo, still managed to put him down in the dojo, good job.

a12 - Nice mix of striking and grappling, i dig.

You still need your ingame evaluation, which I am available to give within the next hour or so - but I'm impressed that you've learned quite a lot in such a short space of time.

Thronior, your app was a little short, but that doesn't mean your in-game skill isn't good. I haven't seen you in-game at all, but I'll try looking and see your skill. My vote is neutral right now, but it can change ;).

Could you guys read the rules and read my post, application length doesn't matter.

also there's no neutral voting or so i thought. just pick yes or no its not an abortion law.

As for me i vote yes because i think you're good enough.

Aquite, care to hop ingame with him next time you see him on?

probably not im playing like once a week at the moment.

Announcement: Voting on the applications will from now on be done on the council board.

Council Voting will most likely be delayed a couple days while we figure out this new system. Any new applicants be patient.

thats not how this works
