First, I just wanted to mention that I respect your opinions and feedback on the recruitment policy, and I'll work to revise the wording to make it simpler (or perhaps less harsh?) But, as Gwen mentioned, the reason for this change is because we've had people join up, only to never check our site, never show up to events, and never make an effort to RP with us. (As in, not even a stray IC comment over the LS, when IC chatter goes on in there.) It's confusing, and it is counteractive to the personal and connective nature of the plot.
I totally understand if RL comes up, or if things get busy. RL should always come first, and I'm a huge proponent of that. But many of the instances we've come across did not seem to be like that.
If anyone is ever confused about how to get involved more, I'm always more than happy to work with them! A lot of my time is spent working with people on their characters, even beyond scheduling a personal intro scene for everyone who joins. It's an investment that goes both ways, though. ^^;
That may have been a misinterpretation, I think. All we're saying is that if you're totally new to the group, please make an effort to check the forums and RP with us/participate in the concept. This is due to the phenomenon described above. We're actually pretty open and friendly, generally speaking. O.o
(Also, please forgive my phone messing up that quote. Phones are super fun that way!)

Thats just my 2 gil on the whole matter though. Feel free to ignore it or say something in response if I misread anything. Im not operating at 100% brain capacity ATM. ._.
