i wish. heh.
anyway... you're receiving this message because you applied for a
slot in the almighty and all-powerful Warlock. at least we dream of
being almight and all-powerful. well, not really...
if you don't know who i am, i'm sort of the leader of Warlock. i took
over the reins a few months back. you could call me the leader, or
the group's admin, or project coordinator, or the group's kick bucket
in times of frustration; doesn't make much difference.
i don't know if anybody else has sent you anything regarding your
application, as AFAIK, i'm the only one with admin privileges on
/warlock (liquid can see your apps, but that's only because he hosts
our site--but don't tell him that). i didn't even know i had admin
privileges until early this week.
as you can see, the whole group is in shambles right now. the breakup
last April/May had required us to basically start over from square
one. it's your call whether you want to ride out this wave with us,
or just wait for calmer waters. either way, it's going to take a few
more months. or at least a few more weeks.
pack #8 has been on hold ever since the restructuring. people are
contributing, but there's still much of the chaos that ensued a few
months back. the site is on its way to a complete rewrite by me (i
like gj's work, but the current site was haphazardly done), and i have
a few projects up my sleeve as well.
as for your applications, well... i could tell you a whole lot of
bullshit, like they're ``being considered'', or that ``we'll just
contact you'', -OR- i could just tell you the truth. i don't lie. so
i'll just tell you guys the truth.
truth is, applications are nothing more than glorified ``hello's''.
what you really need to do is hang out in #warlock every once in a
while, see if you could get along with the current members, assess our
personalities, yadda yadda yadda...
with the new Warlock, your abilities weigh heavier than everything you
put on your applications. i know that sounds cliche, and back when
the group was just starting out, the above statement didn't really
mean anything. anybody came and went as they pleased, and the quality
of Warlock's packs suffered.
of course, we still kicked ass, but it still wasn't the best. that
kind of lax mindset lead to the April/May breakup.
while you're in #warlock (connect to an EFNet server; i recommend
irc.Qeast.net), show off your skills. remember, however, that there's
a fine line between displaying your abilities and bragging. we don't
like braggers.
but this email is getting too long. i guess the bottomline here is,
show us what you can do, then we'll (at least, i will) accept you
``probationally''. sounds rather ominous, doesn't it?
while you're on ``probation'', see if you could be friends with us.
we're a pretty diverse set of personalities; getting along with the
majority might be tough for some people. -THEN- decide if you want to
stay.
pretty easy, eh?
some names to keep in mind:
liquid -- he hosts the site. he's not an ``official'' member of
Warlock, but who needs ``official'', anyway?
Alla_Xul -- he's in charge while i'm away. and i'm currently away.
kickass ANSi artist too.
sm- -- you'll see his name in #warlock a lot. he's Warlock's
biggest fan, methinks. :)

guys, attend to our new friends, will you? :)
